Nie Li raised his bidding paddle at whatever caught his eye, and the young auctioneer's hammer kept falling.
"Congratulations to the Heavenly Marks Family!"
"The Heavenly Marks Family bids one million Demon Spirit Coins!"
"Congratulations to the Heavenly Marks Family!"
Beside him, Nie Ming grew anxious as he watched Nie Li leisurely stroking Nie Yu's hair.
"Li, why are you buying everything? Do you have enough money?"
He was dumbstruck. Every raise of that paddle meant at least five hundred thousand Demon Spirit Coins, with bids starting at a million.
Those were astronomical prices he would never even have dared imagine before.
Only now that the Heavenly Marks Family had risen in prominence could he earn ten thousand Demon Spirit Coins a month as an elder.
"It's fine, Father. I have so much money in this Space Ring that it's taking up space. Spending a little isn't a bad thing."
Anyone who knew the truth understood just how staggering the Alchemist Association's profits were. The money Nie Li earned each day poured in like an ocean.
"What a shame. I've bought so much already, so why hasn't the Red Moon Family's treasure come out yet?"
Nie Li was getting a little bored too. These things were fairly good, but they fell far short of being peerless treasures.
"The next item up for auction is our final lot!"
The young auctioneer clapped her hands, signaling for the attendants to enter.
Several servants came in, one of them carrying a tray covered with a purple cloth.
The young auctioneer smiled slightly, then lifted the cloth.
It was a jade pot made from some unknown material, crystal clear throughout, with a precious radiance flowing across its surface.
Nie Li's eyes widened, and he shot up from his chair. It was actually this thing!
