Chapter 1388: The ’Eye’ of the One-eyed Griffin
Chapter 1388: Chapter 1388: The ’Eye’ of the One-eyed Griffin
The voice of Elder Fire came, causing Wyatt Barnes to be mentally shocked.
"Could it be something good?"
This was the first thought that rose in Wyatt’s mind.
At the same time, Wyatt looked out of the window, his eyes falling on the item in the hands of the Treasure Pavilion manager on the auction stage... In the hands of the Treasure Pavilion manager was a round bead.
It was a black bead with complex patterns, and at a glance, Wyatt immediately felt a pain in his eyes, followed by dizziness and blurred vision.
Inside this black bead, there seemed to be some kind of magical power.
When Wyatt looked at it, it was as if it transformed into a bottomless abyss, as though it wanted to swallow his soul.
If possible, Wyatt really did not wish to experience this feeling a second time.
Hence, he withdrew his gaze and no longer looked at it.
"What kind of bead is this?"
"Good heavens! I just glanced at it, and it felt like it was about to hook away my soul."
"This bead is not simple!"
...
At the same time, there was a murmur of private conversations within the auction, with most people speaking with evident trepidation.
Clearly, their experiences were the same as Wyatt’s.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this black bead was accidentally obtained by our new Pavilion Master ’Damien Lynch’ back in the days... I believe everyone has noticed that if you deliberately look at it, you will feel extremely uncomfortable," said the Treasure Pavilion manager on the auction stage.
"What is the use of this bead?" someone asked.
"This bead was obtained by our Pavilion Master ten years ago... Up to now, apart from causing discomfort to those who look at it, no other special properties have been discovered," continued the Treasure Pavilion manager.
"However, our Pavilion Master once asked the great City Lord of Hill Mountain City to examine this bead... Even the City Lord was unable to damage the bead in the slightest."
Whooosh!!
Once the Treasure Pavilion manager said this, there was an uproar throughout the venue.
The people present were either residents of Hill Mountain City or from the surrounding areas.
They may not have seen the City Lord of Hill Mountain City, but they also knew that the City Lord was the ’number one powerhouse’ around the region of Hill Mountain City!
"Even the City Lord couldn’t damage it at all?"
"It seems that it really is ’hard’."
...
Many were astonished.
"However, apart from being hard, it seems that it can only make those who look at it feel uncomfortable... This thing is not very practical."
Someone else remarked.
"Not just impractical! Who would buy this thing and not take a few looks at it... I just glanced at it once, and it felt terribly uncomfortable."
"Exactly! I don’t dare to look at it again now... Buying it would be asking for misery, right?"
...
Many people apprehensively spoke.
In the private box, Wyatt, who withdrew his gaze, couldn’t help but ask Elder Fire, "Elder Fire, you asked me to bid for it... Does it have any special features?"
"That’s the ’eye’ of a One-eyed Griffin... If you can refine it, your eyes will inherit the power of a One-eyed Griffin! It will be a great help to your current self," said Elder Fire.
"One-eyed Griffin? What is that?" Wyatt was startled.
"That is a powerful magical beast, and its numbers are extremely rare... not even to be found in Yan Huang Star. I didn’t expect that the eye of a One-eyed Griffin would appear on this planet," Elder Fire explained.
"What’s special about its eye?" Wyatt asked further.
"Of course! The reason why the One-eyed Griffin is powerful lies in its unique eye... its eye has extremely terrible abilities. As for what abilities, you will naturally know once you refine it," said Elder Fire.
"The priority now is to bid for it first," Elder Fire added.
"Elder Fire, are you sure I can refine it? According to what the Treasure Pavilion manager said... even an Entering the Saint Realm powerhouse can’t damage it in the slightest?" Wyatt asked, remembering the words of the Treasure Pavilion manager.
"With your current capabilities, of course, you cannot refine it... However, with the help of my ’Sun Divine Fire’, refining it will be a piece of cake," Elder Fire asserted.
Hearing Elder Fire’s words, Wyatt took a deep breath and no longer hesitated, looking out the window again.
By this time, several people had already placed their bids.
Three thousand eight-rank Holy Stones!
At this price, other people immediately fell silent.
Clearly, most were not interested in the ’eye’ of a One-eyed Griffin...
Of course, they did not know it was the eye of a One-eyed Griffin; they just thought it was a peculiar bead.
"The guest in private box number four bids three thousand eight-rank Holy Stones... Is there anyone else who would like to raise the price? If not, I shall start the countdown," the Treasure Pavilion manager said unhurriedly on the auction stage.
"Three."
He quickly began to count down.
"Two."
He counted down once more.
Just as he was prepared to say "one," Wyatt spoke out, "Five thousand eight-rank Holy Stones!"
Five thousand eight-rank Holy Stones!
As soon as Wyatt Barnes said this, the person in charge at Treasure Pavilion chuckled, closing the mouth that had just opened, and excitedly said, "The guest in VIP room number one bids five thousand eight-rank Holy Stones! Five thousand eight-rank Holy Stones!"
"Is there anyone else who wishes to raise the bid?"
The person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion asked three more times, but no one else made an offer.
"Good lad! Others bid three thousand, yet he directly raises it to five thousand... Indeed, one doesn’t feel the pinch when it’s not their own Holy Stones being spent."
Inside VIP room number two, Damien Lynch couldn’t help but laugh and curse.
However, it was merely a casual remark.
The mysterious bead on auction was his personal item; no matter how many Holy Stones it fetched, they would ultimately end up in his pocket.
Therefore, no matter how high Wyatt Barnes bid, it had no effect on him.
"Hmph! A peculiar and weird broken bead, a bid of three thousand eight-rank Holy Stones is already ’astronomical’... whoever wants it can take it."
A snort came from within VIP room number four.
VIP room number four was the room of the person who had bid three thousand eight-rank Holy Stones before Wyatt Barnes made his bid.
The words of the person from room number four made many in the auction room nod in agreement.
"Five thousand eight-rank Holy Stones for such a bead is too extravagant!"
"Even if I possessed one hundred thousand eight-rank Holy Stones, I would not be willing to spend them like this... Even if I bought that bead for collection, it would still be a torment."
"Hmph! That broken bead, I’d have to think twice even if I was given it for free."
...
A crowd of people buzzed with discussion, and in their words, they treated Wyatt Barnes, who was in VIP room number one, as a ’sucker’.
To this, however, Wyatt Barnes was completely indifferent.
These people thought he was a fool, but in his eyes, they were the real fools, ones who didn’t recognize a treasure.
Who is Elder Fire?
A Three-Legged Golden Crow!
An exotic creature from ancient times!
With the worldly experience of Elder Fire, his vision was exceptionally high.
Would something that Elder Fire commended be ordinary?
Now, Wyatt Barnes was somewhat looking forward to the benefits that the ’eye’ of the One-eyed Griffin would bring him... He believed it would definitely be a ’great benefit’!
As the person in charge of the Treasure Pavilion counted down from three, the One-eyed Griffin’s eye smoothly became the property of Wyatt Barnes.
Soon, someone delivered the One-eyed Griffin’s eye to his door.
Perhaps it was because Damien Lynch had alerted them in advance, but the servant who brought the item did not ask Wyatt Barnes for the Holy Stones... After delivering the item, he left.
"Elder Fire, how should I refine this?"
Wyatt rotated the bead in his hand and looked up to ask. If possible, he did not wish to look at the bead in his hand again.
Because he didn’t want to experience the feeling of his soul being hooked away once more...
"Wait till the auction ends."
Elder Fire said.
Elder Fire’s words were clear: they would discuss it in detail with Wyatt Barnes after the auction ended.
"Alright."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, although he was eager, as Elder Fire had spoken, he naturally didn’t persist any further.
After putting away the bead, Wyatt Barnes thought to himself, "If it weren’t for Elder Fire’s reminder, I would never have known that it was actually a bead... the eye bead of a One-eyed Griffin!"
After the One-eyed Griffin’s eye was auctioned off to Wyatt Barnes, the auction continued.
One after another, the auction items were presented and taken by various bidders.
After auctioning twenty-seven items, it finally came to the last three headline auction items of the day... three sets of lower-tier human-rank ’Divine Martial Arts’!
It’s worth mentioning that, before this, Wyatt Barnes had acquired another item.
That item was a material that could be used to repair the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower... one of the ’precious materials’ mentioned by Elder Fire.
Although it was not as effective as the Dragon Pearl of the Five-Clawed Divine Dragon, the difference wasn’t significant.
According to Elder Fire.
This material could repair ’ten percent’ of the third level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower!
Meanwhile, the auction hall boiled over due to the appearance of ’Divine Martial Arts’... The frenzy of bidding left Wyatt Barnes in amazement.
Soon, the first set of Divine Martial Arts was taken by someone for an ’astronomical’ bid of two hundred thousand eight-rank Holy Stones.
"No wonder Elder Lynch gave me the auction item, claiming everything but these three sets of Divine Martial Arts... If I had auctioned that off, even just one, he would probably want to die from regret."
Wyatt Barnes thought to himself.
Two hundred thousand eight-rank Holy Stones, if converted into fifth-rank Holy Stones, that would be a full ’two hundred stones’... nearly a quarter of the fifth-rank Holy Stones Wyatt Barnes had.
"Elder Fire, compared to the second level, what’s different about the third level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower?"
As others bid for the second set of Divine Martial Arts, something occurred to Wyatt Barnes, prompting him to inquire of Elder Fire.
"The third level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower contains the heavenly treasure ’Awe-Inspiring Lance’... Besides that, the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth inside is even denser. Also, the flow of time is even slower," Elder Fire explained leisurely.
"How much slower?"
Wyatt Barnes’s eyes lit up.
Because of the heavenly treasure ’Splendid Fairy Sword’ on the second level of the Seven Treasures Jewel Tower, Wyatt Barnes had no interest at all in the third level’s heavenly treasure ’Awe-Inspiring Lance’.
What use is there in being interested in something you can’t even lift?
He was more concerned about the Spiritual Energy inside, as it related to his training environment... Of course, the most important thing was the ’flow of time’.
"Five days inside, one day outside," Elder Fire replied.
