Chapter 403 – The Ice G.o.d’s Twin Lotus Flowers
TL : GoldenLung
Shrek Auction House had never lacked good stuff, and it was the same today. With the appearance of the auction items, the auction quickly reached its climax.
Qian Lei took action and bought a small bottle of True Dragon blood. He spent a total of five yellow emblems, which was equivalent to one million federal coins. There were about ten drops, and he was prepared to give Fatty Jin a try. He would use one first, and if it was ineffective, it wouldn’t be a big loss even if he resold the other nine drops. If it was effective, it would naturally be for the best.
“The next item is very unique, it is one of the rarest treasures in the world. It is also one of the most important items for today’s auction. Please take a look at the introduction.” The auctioneer on stage was not Ling Yiyi, but another beautiful lady.
Following her voice, the screen darkened and a faint blue light gradually appeared.
They were two ice blue lotus flowers. As they were projected on the screen, one couldn’t tell their exact size. Their entire bodies looked crystal clear, as though they were formed from ice crystals. The center of the flowers was dark blue, and the closer to the petals, the lighter the color of the flowers were, exhibiting a gradient of blue.
It was a kind of beauty that was filled with n.o.bility. It was pure and unblemished, pure and full of beauty. The moment it appeared, it attracted everyone’s attention.
The introduction resounded at this moment. “In the extreme north of our Mother Planet, there is a mystical place. It is situated in the center of a glacier and the average temperature is below -60 degrees Celsius, but there is a lake that would never freeze. And the temperature of the lake water is much lower than ice. After a.n.a.lysis by the Federal Research Inst.i.tute, the lake water there is condensed from the essence of the glacier that was formed over countless years and is extremely rare. It is a sacred ground for ice-attribute soul masters to cultivate.”
“In the past, this place known as the Ice G.o.d Lake was one of the miracles on the continent, but with the destruction of the environment, the entire Mother Planet gradually dried up. It was not until more than 10,000 years ago that the Eternal Tree evolved and allowed life energy to reappear on our Mother Planet, giving it life once again. After 10,000 years, this Ice G.o.d Lake has already been rebuilt.”
“However, the ice essence in the Ice G.o.d Lake cannot be brought out from there. As long as it left the Ice G.o.d Lake, it would disappear from the world in an instant. It is a pity. The Ice G.o.d Lake is now a military zone controlled by the Federation and can only be entered with special approval to prevent damaging the environment there. The two lotus flowers that are currently being presented to everyone are products from that magical place and have been around for 10,000 years. They are definitely top-notch treasures. They are named after the Ice G.o.d Lake, so they are called the Ice G.o.d Lotus. This Ice G.o.d Lotus has unimaginable benefits for soul masters who cultivate the ice attribute. It does not directly increase a soul master’s cultivation, but it can consolidate one’s foundations, thus greatly strengthening one’s potential, eliminate all bottlenecks for later stages, and even allow one’s Martial Soul to sublimate or go through a Second Awakening. It is extremely rare.”
“What’s even rarer is that this pair of Ice G.o.d Lotuses is a pair of twin lotuses. They are one and the same. If two ice-attribute soul masters can use them at the same time, then they would definitely form a miraculous connection between them. It’s hard to say what exactly it will be, but it has the possibility of giving birth to a Martial Soul Fusion skill. Although this is the third last item to be auctioned today, it isn’t any less valuable than the last two items. It might even be higher for those who need it. This is the first time the Ice G.o.d Twin Lotuses have appeared in Shrek Auction House. Let us now start the auction. The starting price is 30 million federal coins, and each increment must be no less than 1 million federal coins.”
The moment the introduction finished, the entire place fell silent. A 10,000-year Ice G.o.d Twin Lotus Flowers. These things were definitely a top-notch existence among all the Heaven and Earth treasures, and could even be compared to some 100,000-year treasures. It was naturally nurtured by heaven and was formed from extreme cold essence energy. This was no longer an ordinary life form, but one of the most miraculous existence in this world.
“Swish.” A number plate was raised without any hesitation.
30 million federal coins was a huge amount and to many people, it was an astronomical number.
The purchasing power of federal coins was extremely strong. 30 million federal coins was enough to allow an ordinary person to have financial freedom for his whole life and live carefreely.
Lan Xuanyu and his team immediately focused their attention on the number plate because the person who raised it was one of them!
Lan Mengqin’s expression was calm as she raised the number 16 in her hand, as though she was doing something very ordinary.
“Number 16, 30 million.”
Qian Lei couldn’t help but say, “30 million, that’s 30 million! Have you thought it out? You don’t seem to have that much money.”
A yellow emblem was equivalent to 200,000 federal coins, and a purple emblem was equivalent to 4,000,000 federal coins, which was 20 times more than a yellow emblem. But even so, Lan Mengqin, with her six purple emblems, didn’t have 30,000,000 federation coins! Furthermore, when such a top-notch Heaven and Earth treasure was auctioned, the other compet.i.tors might not give Shrek Academy any face. After all, once they missed it, it might never appear again.
“I’m willing, it’s none of your business.” Lan Mengqin rolled her eyes at Qian Lei.
Qian Lei sighed. “Squandering, what a prodigal…”
Lan Mengqin was somewhat embarra.s.sed and was about to retort when she saw Qian Lei hand over five purple emblems. “Here, that’s all. I’ll lend them to you.”
Lan Mengqin was stunned. When she looked at Qian Lei again, her gaze changed and was filled with disbelief. In her heart, this Fatty Qian had always loved money as much as his life, and he was definitely the type of person who would not give anything away. But he actually lent her purple emblems ? Furthermore, he had a total of five, and he had just bought dragon blood. He had spent some, and this was really all he had left!
Not to mention Lan Mengqin, even Lan Xuanyu and Liu Feng, who were most familiar with Qian Lei, looked at him in surprise. They suddenly realized that they somewhat couldn’t recognize Fatty Qian.
Qian Lei calmly pushed the purple emblems into Lan Mengqin’s hand and clapped her hand. Then, he sat there quietly as if nothing had happened.
“Fatty,” Lan Mengqin said.
Right at this moment, the auctioneer on stage announced, “Number 128, 31 million.”
Someone was bidding?
Lan Mengqin frowned. That was a million more, and if she wanted to increased the price, it would be 32 million.
But right at this moment, Tang Yuge, who was seated in the first row, suddenly stood up. She wasn’t the only one. The few Shrek students seated in the exclusive area all stood up one after another.
“Shrek, seal the auction.” Tang Yuge raised the number plate in her hand. Other than her, the other Shrek Academy students also raised their number plates.
What did this mean? Lan Xuanyu and his team were confused.
Tang Yuge turned around and whispered, “If there are items that our Shrek students are determined to get, and the Shrek students partic.i.p.ating in the auction work together and all agree, we have the right to seal once the auction. This means that we can use the base price to buy the items and not increase the price. This item is so expensive and is one of the last few items, so it is suitable to seal it. It will cut off everyone’s chance to bid.”
“That works too?” Lan Xuanyu stared at her in shock.
Tang Yuge said, “What is the name of this place? Shrek Auction House. Shrek City was established by our academy. This place is also a part of our academy, so it will naturally lean towards us.”
“Does all Shrek partic.i.p.ants agree to close the auction?” the auctioneer asked.
Lan Xuanyu and his team quickly raised their numbers.
“Successfully sealed bid, 30 million. Deal. Please select your partic.i.p.ant.”
