The Wealthy Alchemist Guild

The Wealthy Alchemist Guild

"Senior Yun Shan, as for the origin of this Seventh-Order Magical Beast's core, allow me to keep you in suspense for now. Once the auction ends, our Mite'er Family will announce an important piece of news.

"However, there is one thing our Mite'er Family can guarantee: whoever obtains this Seventh-Order Magical Beast's core will not encounter any trouble!

"If there are truly any losses, our Mite'er Family will bear full responsibility!"

Mittel Tengshan first gave a slight bow toward the private room where the Misty Cloud Sect was located as a show of respect, then made this promise with utmost solemnity.

Of course, as he spoke, there was also a mysterious look on his face.

Clearly, this had something to do with the matter that would be announced after the auction ended.

After hearing Mittel Tengshan's words, Yun Shan's face flashed with surprise, but he did not ask any further questions.

In truth, he had heard some rumors from Hai Bodong beforehand regarding the auction of the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core. However, he knew nothing about the Mite'er Family having another announcement to make afterward.

Neither the Misty Cloud Sect, the Jia Ma Royal House, nor even the Alchemist Guild knew about this.

But one thing was certain.

Whatever the Mite'er Family was about to announce would definitely not be a trivial matter!

After all, judging by Mittel Tengshan's tone, it concerned the origin of a Seventh-Order Magical Beast core!

Of course, anyone with a bit of sense could understand what Mittel Tengshan meant.

For a moment, the people in the auction hall began to stir.

Who would not be interested in a secret involving the origin of a Seventh-Order Magical Beast core?

A Seventh-Order Magical Beast corresponded to a human Dou Zong.

A Dou Zong's strength stood at the very pinnacle of the entire Northwest Continent.

Even in the Central Plains, a Dou Zong expert could serve as an elder in a first-rate faction. They could even establish their own sect without any problem!

How could the people at the auction not be interested?

Even Xiao Lin's interest had been piqued, let alone everyone else.

"So the Mite'er Family possesses a secret concerning a Seventh-Order Magical Beast? Interesting. It seems the main event of this auction is not this Seventh-Order Magical Beast core, but the news the Mite'er Family plans to announce afterward!"

Xiao Lin pinched his chin with one hand, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.

Although he had no intention of bidding for this Seventh-Order Magical Beast core, he was exceptionally interested in what the Mite'er Family was about to announce.

At that moment, as Mittel Tengshan's words fell, the bidding for the auction's grand finale—the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core—officially began.

At the same time, only three factions had the ability to make use of this Seventh-Order Magical Beast core: the Gama Imperial Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, and the Alchemist Guild!

"Two and a half million gold coins!"

From VIP Room Three came the voice of Fa Ma, president of the Alchemist Guild.

And with a single bid, he raised the starting price by five hundred thousand gold coins.

It had to be said, the Alchemist Guild truly was filthy rich!

But thinking about it, that was only natural.

After all, the pill industry was indeed absurdly profitable!

Normally, when asking an alchemist to refine a pill, not only did one have to provide the pill formula, one also had to prepare at least three sets of ingredients.

Furthermore, the cost of a pill refined by an alchemist might not even amount to one-tenth of the price it could be sold for.

Just think about it. After all that, how could they not be making a fortune?

How much wealth had the Alchemist Guild of the entire Jia Ma Empire amassed?

It was something ordinary people would not even dare imagine!

It was no exaggeration to say that the Alchemist Guild possessed wealth rivaling that of a nation!

So, in Fa Ma's eyes, raising the bid by five hundred thousand gold coins at once was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

"Two million seven hundred thousand gold coins!"

Following Fa Ma of the Alchemist Guild, Jia Xing Tian, guardian of the Jia Ma Royal House, also called out a bid.

As the rulers of the Jia Ma Empire, the royal house naturally did not lack wealth.

This could be seen from what had happened when Mo Ya, the head of the Mu Family—a Dou Wang clan—had committed treason. The Jia Ma Royal House had merely allowed the other clans to divide up the family, without stepping in personally.

Think about it: the foundation of an old-established Dou Wang clan was no small thing.

Yet the Jia Ma Royal House had not even cared for it.

That alone said enough.

"Three million gold coins!"

The other two Dou Emperor factions had made their bids, so the Misty Cloud Sect, the strongest faction in the entire Jia Ma Empire, naturally would not be left behind.

Sure enough, Yun Shan raised the price of the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core by another three hundred thousand gold coins.

Yun Shan had already reached the realm of a Nine-Star Dou Emperor. His next step would be Dou Zong.

Therefore, he naturally wanted to obtain this Seventh-Order Magical Beast core.

Although finding an alchemist skilled enough to refine it into a pill would not be easy, it was still a source of hope, was it not?

Of course, among the factions competing for the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core, Yun Shan was actually the least confident!

Although the Misty Cloud Sect indeed surpassed both the Jia Ma Royal House and the Alchemist Guild in terms of strength, it was clearly inferior to the other two when it came to money.

There was nothing to be done about that.

The Misty Cloud Sect had its own means of earning money, but how could it possibly compare to the royal house that ruled the Jia Ma Empire or the wealthy Alchemist Guild?

Thus, although Yun Shan had joined the bidding, he was really only trying his luck to see whether he could win it.

In truth, Yun Shan had no confidence at all.

"Three million five hundred thousand gold coins!"

Sure enough, Fa Ma once again raised the price by five hundred thousand gold coins in one go.

By this point, everyone else in the auction hall below could only watch numbly as the three Dou Emperor factions competed for the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core.

"Three million seven hundred thousand gold coins!"

"Four million gold coins!"

In the blink of an eye, the price of the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core had doubled!

"Five million gold coins!"

As the president of the Alchemist Guild, money had honestly become nothing more than a string of cold numbers in his eyes.

So, in order to defeat the other two competitors, he directly added another million gold coins this time.

At this moment, Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Royal House and Yun Shan, sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect, both frowned.

The price was already faintly approaching the limit they had set in their hearts.

But when they considered the help a Seventh-Order Magical Beast core could bring them, both men gritted their teeth and decided to make one more attempt.

"Five million five hundred thousand gold coins!"

That was called out by Jia Xing Tian of the Jia Ma Royal House.

"Six million gold coins!"

That was called out by Yun Shan, sect master of the Misty Cloud Sect.

However, even though the two factions had each raised the price by five hundred thousand gold coins at once, Fa Ma, president of the Alchemist Guild in VIP Room Three, did not even blink.

As an alchemist, he was determined to obtain this Seventh-Order Magical Beast core for the Alchemist Guild!

"Seven million gold coins!"

Fa Ma's powerful voice rang through the entire auction hall.

As Fa Ma's voice fell, only two faint sighs could be heard.

Clearly, at this point, neither the Jia Ma Royal House nor the Misty Cloud Sect intended to continue competing with the Alchemist Guild.

Although they still had sufficient funds, the price had already exceeded the limit they had set in their hearts.

Moreover, judging from Fa Ma's attitude, the president of the Alchemist Guild was clearly determined to obtain it.

Since that was the case, they might as well do him a favor and stop here.

That was what Jia Xing Tian and Yun Shan were thinking.

After several dozen breaths of silence, when auctioneer Mittel Tengshan's gavel fell for the third time, the Seventh-Order Magical Beast core finally fell into the hands of the Gama Empire Alchemist Guild.

With that, this auction officially came to an end.

Xiao Lin had enjoyed quite a spectacle and learned what the world of the wealthy looked like.

Next, all that remained was to wait for the information the Mite'er Family had promised to reveal.
