Chapter 505: Chapter 504: Purchasing Jade Slip

"The next item is the basic comprehension of Sea Dan refinement from Alchemist Thomas Blackwood. As everyone knows, Master Blackwood has pioneered a whole new method of refining Sea Dan. His insight is quite precious..."

Hearing Celina’s introduction, Daniel Swift shook his head, "No matter how precious, it’s just basic comprehension. There are too many of these items, and they’re not worth much money."

At this moment, Peter Brown’s eyes were fixed on the jade slip, his heart racing.

Peter’s knowledge in alchemy far exceeded that of an ordinary alchemist. However, he knew nothing about refining elixirs using materials from the sea. As a famous alchemist’s insights and foundation knowledge were presented, it held guiding significance for Peter to understand the Sea Clan’s alchemy.

I must get it!

Peter had already decided that, even if he had to spend all his Sea Coins, he would get the jade slip.

At this point, Celina had finished her introduction, and the starting bid was 10,000 Sea Coins, which puzzled Peter.

"How is it only 10,000?"

"Peter, you wouldn’t know this. The alchemy techniques of the Sea Clan are difficult for humans to use. The biggest issue is that humans cannot reach the depths of the ocean. Many materials are obtained from the sea, and some are even the carcasses of Sea Demons. Not many Sea Demons possess True Fire, and it’s even more challenging for them to become alchemists. Additionally, these basic insights are passed down in the Sea Clan, so they don’t value them."

So, that’s how it is!

Peter finally understood.

Of course, this was excellent news for Peter.

At this time, there weren’t many bidders participating. After a few price increases, the jade slip’s price only reached 30,000 Sea Coins, and no one was bidding anymore.

Seeing this situation, Peter hurriedly offered a price of 35,000 Sea Coins.

To Peter’s delight, it seemed that no one else would compete with him. The jade slip was his for 35,000 Sea Coins.

Daniel shook his head, "Peter, it’s not worth it."

"I just want to learn more about the Sea Clan’s alchemy."

Daniel said, "There are some shops in the street that sell jade slips with this knowledge. I’ll take you there later. You don’t have to buy this one."

"It’s fine. This alchemist’s insight is still useful for me."

As they were talking, another jade slip was brought out.

With a smile, Celina said, "Just now, it was a basic insight from Alchemist Thomas Blackwood. Now, it’s an Elixir Formula created by Master Blackwood after years of research. This formula is extraordinary. The refined elixir can significantly enhance the True Qi of cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage. The formula is very rare, called the Black Gold Dan Formula. The starting bid is still 10,000 Sea Coins, with increments of 1,000."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bidding for this item became lively, with prices rising rapidly.

"Why doesn’t shopkeeper Daniel participate in the bidding?" Peter asked, realizing that it would take some time to reach the highest bid.

With a bitter smile, Daniel said, "The elixir formula is good, but firstly, the materials are hard to come by, and secondly, I am not an alchemist, so it would be useless for me to buy it."

In the meantime, the Black Gold Dan had been bid up to 150,000 Sea Coins.

"There are quite a few Sea Demons participating, huh?"

"They probably want to buy it for their family. Some Sea Demon families still have one or two alchemists. After all, this elixir is excellent, capable of significantly enhancing the True Qi of those below the Foundation Establishment stage, which also means it is very helpful for those above Qi-refining level 10."

"I am from the Prosperous Dragon Sect. 160,000 Sea Coins, we want it!"

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out. The person completely revealed their identity, without any attempt to conceal it, sweeping their gaze across the crowd.

At that moment, when the other bidders heard that he was from the Prosperous Dragon Sect, the auction room became quiet.

"I didn’t expect the Prosperous Dragon Sect to participate as well!"

Daniel was also moved.

"Is the Prosperous Dragon Sect really that strong?" asked Peter.

"Of course. Among the several Sea Cities, the Prosperous Dragon Sect is very powerful. They have several Foundation Establishment stage experts. Even the City Lord has to give them some face. It seems that they will get this formula."

Just as he finished speaking, Peter unexpectedly placed a bid.

170,000!

Peter was determined to win this Elixir Formula. As its effects could significantly enhance the True Qi of those below the Foundation Establishment stage, he had no reason not to obtain it.

Peter had also thought that as soon as he obtained the formula, he could use it to improve his cultivation level.

Daniel hadn’t expected Peter to bid under these circumstances, and he became slightly anxious. Whispering, he said, "Why are you stirring up trouble with the Prosperous Dragon Sect?"

"Who is it? Who dares to go against our Prosperous Dragon Sect!"

Since the auction rooms were shifting under the influence of the formation, Peter’s room had already shifted positions, and the person from the Prosperous Dragon Sect could only glare angrily at the various rooms.

"People of the Prosperous Dragon Sect, mind your words and actions!"

At that moment, a Foundation Establishment stage expert, who had been sitting on the stage, spoke sternly.

Hearing his words, the person from the Prosperous Dragon Sect immediately shouted, "200,000!"

"210,000!"

Without hesitation, Peter added another 10,000 to the price.

"250,000!"

The opponent roared again.

"260,000!" Peter once again added 10,000.

"It’s not worth it! Not worth it!" Daniel bitterly smiled.

At this point, the person from the Prosperous Dragon Sect did not raise the price any further.

Instead, they stared in Peter’s direction, saying, "Kid, just you wait!"

Peter paid no heed to their words. Seeing that the Elixir Formula was his for 260,000 Sea Coins, he was happy.

Soon, a young man arrived carrying the jade slip that Peter had bought. After paying the sea coins, Peter finally got his hands on the jade slip.

After spending more than 200,000 of the 420,000 Sea Coins he’d earned from auctioning the Lingcao, Peter was left with 180,000 Sea Coins.

Daniel looked at Peter with a speechless expression, "You spent too much money on this. It’s not worth it!"

At this point, Daniel whispered. "Let’s leave as soon as possible, or we may be discovered."

Considering that he didn’t have many Sea Coins left, Peter nodded, "Let’s go."

After exiting the room, the two followed a staff member to a small teleportation formation. As the teleportation was activated, they quickly left.

Not long after Peter and Daniel had left, a person from the Prosperous Dragon Sect hurried to the teleportation formation, asking in a deep voice, "Has anyone just teleported away?"

The person responsible for the formation sat cross-legged and didn’t respond. The auction firm was supported by the City Lord, and its confidentiality regulations forbid the disclosure of bidder information.
