Chapter 487: "Three Secret Intruders"
Ainsley was in a dilemma for a few seconds, but then she immediately asked the G.o.dfather.
[G.o.dtahel, do you want to live inswide that spiwit ring?]
The G.o.dfather instantly shook his head. [h.e.l.l no. It"s the same as trapping this lord. It"s not a house for spirits. It"s a jail!]
Hearing the G.o.dfather"s extreme refusal, Ainsley crossed the spirit ring from her favourite item list. Next, she thought about the baby Phoenix feather…
She didn"t have any flying-type beast. It"s useless even if she could revive them once.
Thus, the only good choice left would be the teleportation bead and the pure-blood elf blood.
A teleportation bead was good since the owner said it could even send the user to another continent in an instant. But the pure-blood elf blood could prolong one"s lifespan by a year…
It"s definitely what Grandpa Yofan needed.
In the end, Ainsley leaned more toward the pure-blood elf blood.
She"s about to tell Marietta to give the first core-healing potion to the one offering elf blood when suddenly, the appraiser nudged Ainsley with his elbow.
"Hwum? What ish ith?"
"Milady, you better not choose the elf blood. I just checked it, and the blood wasn"t purely an elf"s blood!"
Ainsley sucked in the cold air.
"What do ywou mwean? Ywou said it was authentic befowe…"
"It is authentic, but I just did another round of appraisal and found the blood was tainted with another race"s blood...so it"s not purely pure-blood elf"s blood."
The appraiser shook his head and blurted out.
"It"s a mixed breed"s blood!"
"Ehhh? Mixed bweed?" Ainsley was instantly reminded of Axelle. Axelle was also a mix-breed…
"Yes, it"s a mix-breed. That"s why, there won"t be any lifespan-prolonging effect. Only pure-blood elf"s blood has that effect!"
And that"s why, in the past, the elves were hunted down by the humans and other races before they settled down and built their own territory.
They are now one of the strongest races in this world, but they were so strict about other races entering their territory, much less letting other races contact the pure-blood elves.
Thus, the elves involved in business and other trading that needed cooperation between races were all mix-breed elves or elves that didn"t have 100% pure blood.
The elf that Geraldine and Jake met a few weeks ago was also not one with 100% pure blood. She only had 90% pure blood, and thus, her blood didn"t have any lifespan-prolonging effect.
When Ainsley knew that the so-called pure-blood elf"s blood was actually not 100% pure, she instantly chose the teleportation bead.
[Marietta, choose the teleportation bead. The elf"s blood is useless!]
At Ainsley"s command, Marietta raised the tiny hammer in her other hand and knocked the podium three times.
"The bidding is over. Congratulations, Miss Y, for winning the first core-healing potion in exchange for a magic teleportation bead!"
After the first bottle was sold, the second and third bottles were also sold out in less than 10 minutes. The second bottle was sold in exchange for a magic fertiliser that could grow any kind of plant.
Ainsley chose the item because Zev told her she could grow more crystalline plants with this fertiliser! Of course, she wouldn"t miss out on the chance to cultivate more crystal-making plants.
The third bottle was sold for a wind-element enlightenment stone that could inspire someone with a wind-related special ability to gain a new skill.
The stone was given to Cellino so that the beast could have one more unique skill, to become stronger than before.
After the second type was sold out, Marietta moved into the third type...energy-line condensing potion.
It was at this time that three people wearing grey robes and hoodies sneaked into the auction hall and took the seat at the very back, looking so inconspicuous.
The three people sat side-by-side with the one in the middle was actually a woman wearing a full-face white mask, the same as the other two men were wearing.
Right after they took their seat, the woman in the middle spoke in a low voice that only the two men could hear.
"It seems that we are quite late. The first and second potion types are already sold out."
"Yes, milady. We are quite late...but we can still bid for the other potion types. We still have time!" A young man"s voice sounded from the one sitting on the left side.
"But milady, do you bring anything valuable or something? I didn"t bring too many valuable items since we were in a rush…" This time, an old man"s voice sounded.
The old man touched his storage ring afterwards and sighed.
"I just knew the little baby held a potion auction...no wonder when I could turn on my phone once more, I got a message from her about the auction license…"
Geraldine finally knew about the auction, and when he"s back to the human continent, his people also told him the details of the matter.
After hearing about it, he was sure that Ainsley truly had a potion made by an elf...and that elf must be the slave she bought from Jake"s last auction!
Even Jake had the same thought.
"So...the blue-skinned elf is an alchemist? No wonder that baby is so brave to buy him despite the risks...she is really insightful!"
At the same time, the woman with emerald hair sitting between the two men also carefully observed the third potion displayed on the stage.
Energy-line condensing potion!
Other alchemists might have to check the potion sample or use potion testers to check the authenticity, but the lady could already see through the potion just from its colour.
That"s...a real potion...made by an elf.
A royal elf on top of that!
