Chapitre 126: Chapter 126 Wealthy woman at your side.
The Auction continued with one unique item being sold after the other.
Paul and Fei Fei didn't bid for now as the items that were presented, were not of much use to them.
After he got over the shocking prices that dwarfed even those he saw in his previous life in the imperial capital.
Paul just enjoyed the show.
The first item they wanted to buy was the twentieth on the list.
-The next item, we have the honor to present is two dozen maiden tree leaves.
A beautifully ornate wooden box was brought to the stage and opened for a moment to let everyone see its contents.
-I suppose that I do not have to introduce this item so I won't bore you all with it.
The host said making many people laugh.
-The starting price is ten thousand gold coins.
-20 000
-25 000
-33 000
The bidding began fiercely and the price went higher and higher.
Paul didn't bid, for now, there was no point in bidding at the start since his bid would get surpassed almost immediately and if he bid much higher then there was a chance for the price to skyrocket in an instant which was the last thing he wanted.
The price reached 150 000 gold coins in a short time and then the bidding stabilized.
-151 000
-152 000
-153 000
This was what he had been waiting for.
-160 000
Paul bided, gaining the attention of everyone.
Luckily, the private rooms were constructed in a way that made it virtually impossible to see who was in which room.
-161 000
A lady from another room said.
-165 000
Paul countered calmly.
This was only a secondary objective for him as it would only help a few of the ladies in his mansion and the effect would disappear after their first time but till then they would experience an increase in their cultivation speed and their energy would be purified by the effect of the maiden tree leaves.
The bonus would be that after their first time, their partner would get some of the effects for a short time.
-166 000
The woman from the other room didn't give up.
-175 000
Paul said, surprising everyone, by how much he had raised the bid.
-175 000 going once.
The host announced after a few seconds without any more bidding.
-175 000 going twice, if someone wants to bid then this is the last chance.
Seeing that nobody spoke up after a few more seconds.
-175 000 going thrice, sold to the patron in the private room nr 5.
The host struck the mallet and declared in a booming voice.
The item as usual would be available after the auction.
The next few items were of no concern to Paul, while Fei Fei bid and won a beautiful red dress that doubled as light armor and was made from the Dream spider silk which was a rare and very deadly beast.
The silk from that spider was extremely strong and immune to fire while also possessing the power to generate illusions if it was supplied with mana.
Fei Fei paid over 500 000 gold coins for the dress and Paul had to admit that she would look wonderful in it.
The next few items were not interesting to either of them so they just watched and enjoyed the show.
The prices increased as the items were auctioned off and soon the starting princess reached over 100 000 gold coins.
-The next item Is called a Sensual Lily flower and if made into a potion it would permanently increase the cultivation speed of any female cultivator.
The only side effect is that the potion also works as a potent aphrodisiac.
This flower is extremely rare and precious, the last time one was auctioned off was ten years ago in the imperial capital so this is a very rare opportunity.
The starting price is set at 200,000 gold coins.
The host announced.
This time the bidding started slow.
Even if the flower was rare, its effects worked only on women, and also the side effects were undesirable for most of them.
-210 000
-215 000
Only these two offers were called until Paul decided to bid.
-230 000
This again got the attention of the people present, but this time no one tried to outbid him and the flower ended up in his possession for a fraction of what he thought he would have to pay.
Originally he thought that he would be lucky if it ended up costing him around a million gold coins so this was a pleasant surprise.
This was the last item auctioned off in the first half of the auction so after that, there was a break.
Paul and Fei Fei decided to use this time to retrieve their items and they were not the only ones with the idea as many people were doing exactly the same thing.
Fortunately, there were many servants assigned to this job and the whole thing went smoothly.
They were led to a separate room to avoid disclosing which items they had bought.
The whole transaction took only a few minutes, after which they returned to their private room to avoid the continuation of the auction while enjoying the meal brought by the servants.
The auction resumed after almost an hour and the first Item presented was a case of ten bottles of the spirit monkey wine.
It was a rare item and as always it garnered a lot of attention.
250 000 gold coins, that was the starting price, but it quickly reached over a million and there was no sign of the bidding ending any time soon as every man wanted to get their hands on it and even some women had set their sight on the wine.
Paul also wanted this wine but he decided to give up in the end since he still had to get the fiery ginseng later and it would not be cheap.
-2 000 000.
Fei Fei suddenly decided to bid.
Everyone was shocked as she had raised the price by half a million in one go.
Paul's jaw hit the floor when he heard her bid.
-What?
She asked, seeing his surprised expression.
-Don't tell me that you don't want it.
She said with a smile.
-It's not that I don't want it, it's that I can't afford it right now.
He managed to say a moment later.
-Then you are lucky to have a wealthy woman like me at your side.
She grinned.
Nobody tried to bid anymore after such a drastic price increase as they thought the same as Paul that it was better to save the money for the later part of the auction.
The Spirit Monkey wine was a precious commodity as its properties allowed one to cultivate faster and strengthen the body but it was mostly sought after because of its unique and delicious taste.
Fei Fei knew about another one of its effects and that was a slight improvement of Yang Qi for a period of time.
But if Paul drank even half of the wine she just bought, this effect would become permanent.
This was common knowledge in the upper realms, but down here almost nobody knew about it.
Not to mention that in the upper realms, the same case of wine would cost hundreds if not thousands of times more than she just paid.
The auction continued and not long after the wine, it was time for the Fiery ginseng to be auctioned off.
-I don't think I have to introduce this item to anyone but this time I have to.
The host said, and another round of laughter went through the auction house.
-Fiery ginseng has many properties and applications, the best-known ones are connected to men's performance in bed activities, but there are many more such as prolonging life span and allowing anyone below the Vision refinement stage or Magus stage to gain a full stage of cultivation within a short time period.
The full introduction to its possible applications would take me a whole night and I don't wish to waste your time so let's begin.
The host finished the introduction of the item.
-The starting price is 500 000 gold coins.
The moment he finished speaking, the chaos ensued as everyone wanted this item.
The price was going up at an astonishing rate, reaching one million in a few moments and quickly proceeding to rise above two million gold coins.
In less than five minutes the price had reached five million and there was still no indication of the bidding to slow down.
From what Paul saw, there was a good chance that the price would reach fifteen million or even twenty, depending on the bidders.
