Chapter 358: Tiankui Holy Water!
After the Mystical Fire Sword was taken away, Feng Yu, the old auctioneer, came out again, his face showing a hint of excitement. He announced loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of the highlights of tonight is coming up next!
"The next item to be showcased is also one of the grand finale items of tonight, the Tiankui Holy Water!"
Feng Yu, somewhat excited, loudly finished his sentence. Immediately, he clapped his hands, and a young girl brought out a pristine bottle containing the Tiankui Holy Water onto the stage.
Feng Yu carefully held the bottle in his palms and raised it high, declaring loudly, "This bottle of Tiankui Holy Water has been entrusted to our Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce by an old friend of ours for auction. I believe many of you are familiar with this friend."
He paused, creating a sense of suspense, and then laughed. "I\'m sure many distinguished guests remember the twelve ancient medicinal pills that were the highlight of our auction over a month ago. Those pills also came from this old friend."
"So, it\'s the alchemy master who auctioned those ancient medicinal pills last time! Haha, it seems this Tiankui Holy Water will be just as extraordinary."
"Indeed, indeed."
A wave of murmurs swept through the auction house. Most people remembered the previous auction mainly because of the commotion caused by a despicable donkey.
Such a bizarre incident was unforgettable and naturally left a lasting impression.
"It appears many of our esteemed guests still remember. Indeed, that mysterious benefactor has entrusted something valuable to us again. In fact, this time, it’s something even more precious than those medicinal pills!"
Feng Yu laughed heartily. "This Tiankui Holy Water not only contains the purest water attribute spiritual energy but also holds a trace of water attribute rule-based power. For all water attribute cultivators, this is an opportunity not to be missed!"
"Tiankui Holy Water? Manager Feng, we\'ve never even heard of this thing before!"
A middle-aged man in the audience couldn\'t help but question loudly.
Indeed, the so-called Tiankui Holy Water was actually named by Master Jing Xuan himself. As for whether its effects were as miraculous as Feng Yu claimed, no one could say for certain.
Feng Yu laughed heartily. "Words alone are not enough to convince anyone. Therefore, after obtaining this bottle of holy water, I, along with over thirty senior appraisers from our guild, examined it. We even had several of our vice-presidents personally examine it. Everyone unanimously agreed that the value of this treasured item rivals that of a top-grade spiritual artifact!"
As he spoke, Feng Yu took out dozens of documents from his robe and distributed them to some of the respected elders in the front row. "These are the appraisal results from our guild\'s appraisers and our vice-presidents. You can all take a look."
It had to be said that Feng Yu was indeed a seasoned auctioneer and was meticulous in his approach. With the written certifications from the vice-presidents of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce, his claim naturally gained much credibility.
If the Tiankui Holy Water indeed contained water attribute rule-based power, its value could certainly rival that of a top-grade spiritual artifact.
Feng Yu slightly opened the bottle cap and carried the bottle around the front rows. Instantly, a dense and intense water attribute spiritual energy surged out from the bottle’s mouth. Since this time the quantity was five times more, the effect was even more pronounced than when Ling Feng used a small porcelain bottle previously.
The rich water elemental force formed numerous blue spiritual energy dragons that soared and twisted in the center of the auction hall. This unusual phenomenon immediately stirred up the martial artists below.
This was especially true for the water attribute cultivators whose faces flushed with excitement. They could fully imagine the benefits of obtaining this bottle of Tiankui Holy Water. It could equal decades of diligent cultivation!
Meanwhile, the dignitaries on the second floor began to murmur amongst themselves. Some even banged on their tables and shouted, "I want this Tiankui Holy Water! No one else should compete with me!"
Seeing such a strong reaction, Ling Feng couldn\'t help but feel a sense of joy. The higher the auction price of the Tiankui Holy Water, the greater his profits would be.
As the auction house buzzed with excitement, Feng Yu raised two fingers and seized the opportunity to shout, "The starting price is 200,000 high-grade elemental stones, with each increment no less than 10,000!"
No sooner had he spoken, the bidding began in earnest.
"210,000!"
"220,000!"
"230,000!"
"250,000!"
...
The distinguished guests on the second floor, being knowledgeable individuals, immediately sensed the presence of the water attribute rule-based power in the Tiankui Holy Water the moment the bottle was opened.
This rule-based power was exceedingly precious to those of higher realms, especially experts at the Spiritual Sea Realm. For them, the Tiankui Holy Water had become a must-have item.
Not only were water attribute experts eager for it, but experts of other attributes in the Spiritual Sea Realm were also coveting the Tiankui Holy Water. The intense water attribute spiritual energy in it alone was almost terrifyingly rich, but the presence of rule-based power was enough to drive them into a frenzy.
"500,000!"
While these powerful figures were gradually raising the bids by tens of thousands, a voice suddenly emerged from Box Three. Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, recognizing the voice as none other than Deng Xian, the Ascendant Eagle General and old friend of Yan Cangtian.
"He came too."
Ling Feng was mildly surprised but then felt relieved. Deng Xian was likely a water attribute cultivator, so it was natural for him to desire the Tiankui Holy Water.
"General Deng, though I have always respected you, I won\'t easily concede this Tiankui Holy Water. Hahaha... 600,000!"
From Box Nine came the voice of another elder, who had evidently recognized Deng Xian\'s voice as well.
"700,000."
Deng Xian\'s voice remained calm. Compared to the value of water attribute rule-based power, elemental stones were just numbers to him.
"General Deng, I\'m afraid I must join in the bidding for this Tiankui Holy Water too! 800,000!"
An elderly voice echoed from VIP Box Twenty.
"900,000!" Deng Xian continued to raise the bid. Although he was usually frugal, it didn\'t mean he lacked funds.
Beside Deng Xian, his headstrong granddaughter, Deng Yongshi, had also come along.
Her goal was naturally the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit.
Her cultivation had reached a bottleneck at forty-nine meridians, making the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit essential for her breakthrough.
In another box, Ling Feng was overwhelmed with excitement. No wonder Yan Cangtian had seemed indifferent to tens of thousands of high-grade elemental stones last time. These king-tier oldies of the Spiritual Sea Realm have such abundant resources!
As the price soared higher, Ling Feng felt dizzy with joy. After today’s auction, he would bid farewell to his days of being poor.
Even Yue Yunlan, the young lady of the Cangqiong Sect, was slightly moved. It seemed she had underestimated the value of the Five Elements Heavenly Palace.
However, since Ling Feng had obtained the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Yue Yunlan felt no jealousy. Instead, she felt happy for Ling Feng.
With the Five Elements Heavenly Palace, Ling Feng was destined to rise. In the future, he would undoubtedly surpass her.
Thinking of her past words, that her man must be stronger than herself, a blush rose on Yue Yunlan’s charming face...
