After appraising the value of the fruit, Ron resigned. There were many people waiting for him on the auction stage.
As soon as Ron closed the door, Shane asked with a surprised look on his face, "I never knew that you actually had such a treasure!"
Claire smiled slightly, without revealing any information, and replied, "Don't you know it now?"
Shane laughed and didn't care. He took the initiative and said, "He still lowered the price for you. If these four fruits were sold at auction, they would be worth more than 10 million."
"Although, as he said, there are some potions that can help warriors and mages advance, the effect of those potions is not 100%. The higher the level, the smaller the chance. Moreover, after taking it once, the body will develop drug resistance, and the effect of taking it the second time will not be as good as the first time."
"A fruit like yours does not conflict with those potions. Even if he has used the drug resistance, the fruit will still be effective. It can be said to give those who cannot advance a second chance... Anyway, I feel that I have lost money."
Shane is telling the truth. The main reason why such aristocrats spend a lot of money to buy Life Potion is because they don't take the path of mage, or if they take it, it won't work.
If the fruit of Claire can help them directly upgrade from junior mages to Intermediate Mage, it will give them almost a hundred more lifespans out of thin air, which is much more powerful than the effect of Life Potion.
However, this cannot be used to judge that the value of the three smaller fruits is higher than the value of Life Potion. There is a probability of failure in the promotion.
Especially for the nobles, many of them do not practice magic. Even if they do, their talent is not much higher. If the magic talent is high, they will not be the head of the family, but will be directly trained to become one of the family's helpers in the future. So for them, the value of these fruits is still not as good as the Life Potion that can extend their sales for fifty or sixty years.
This kind of example is very common. Many families develop step by step like this. From the beginning, a small family relies on cultivating the children of its own family. If those children become a strong person, they can directly bring their family to a new level, and then use the better resources to continue to cultivate their own clansmen for further development.
Claire waved his hand, not really caring, "People who do business can't lose money."
Shane shrugged, "You are very open-minded."
At this time, Ron also returned to the stage from the audience, raised the auction hammer in his hand and hammered it heavily on the wooden base, attracting everyone's attention, and then shouted, "The inspection is completed, now the auction will start again!"
As soon as Ron's voice fell, Claire shouted loudly.
"My bid is eighteen million!"
"Wow!!!"
The photographers below looked shocked, "That treasure of his is actually worth eight million Gold Coins!"
"I remember that Archmage's legendary weapon is only worth this."
"Stop talking about this, aren't these 18 million Life Potion outrageous enough?!"
"It's really outrageous. I don't know what else they will earn. Count Hawk only got 10 million Gold Coins because it was about to die. The two of them are so eager to get it."
"Yes, wait another year or two, and the next dose of Life Potion will be available."
"I don't know anything else. Anyway, I know that Master Morey is making crazy money this time. As far as I know, the cost of this Life Potion is only one or two million Gold Coins, and now it has doubled ten times!"
"Damn it, when I get back I'll let my son learn potion skills from his alchemy teacher. It's so damn profitable!"
"Hahahaha, making money? You're thinking too much. Do you know how much my kid has spent just now to learn the level of an intermediate pharmacist? It has cost me millions of Gold Coins from the beginning to now. I have to give him 50,000 to 60,000 Gold Coins every month to buy materials for experiments in the store. Now he can't be responsible for his own profits and losses!"
"What's one thing about mages that isn't a huge waste of money? Do you still dare to touch alchemy? It's even a huge waste of money! If you don't have talent, I really don't recommend trying this thing."
"Ah this..."
The discussion below continued without any sign of stopping, and a dull voice came from the box on the other side again.
"I'll pay twenty-five million."
When the other party reported the price, Claire's eyelids couldn't help but beat several times. He couldn't help but look over again, but was blocked by the one-way glass again.
Then he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Is he crazy? Twenty-five million, is this price reasonable?"
He spent so much money to buy this potion for his own use. In terms of its true effect, the potion was not worth the money at all, but the other party still spent 25 million to take pictures. Claire I really can't understand what was going on in that person's head.
"Are you still following?" Shane asked.
"Follow?" Claire's mouth twitched, "Why don't you follow me? I've spent all my money and it's only 18 million. The other party has already offered me 25 million. What should I give to follow?"
"Harmful." Shane also sighed, "Who is this person? His voice sounds familiar, but I just can't remember it. But why did he spend so much money on this thing?"
"Forget it, I won't fight if I can't compete with others." Claire also took a deep breath. He didn't feel it was a pity, but felt that his chest relaxed a little. If he had just bought the Life Potion for 18 million, he would be heavily in debt now, and Nafu City would also fall into a vicious cycle because of him.
"I'll go back and ask my father to see if there is any stock of Life Potion in the family. If so, ask my father if I can sell it to you." Shane also suggested from the side.
Top aristocratic families usually have some precious medicines in stock, but it is hard to say Life Potion. Generally, the larger the family, the more people there are, and there are also many older clan members, and there are also some offerings from outsiders. It is difficult to save things like Life Potion. Generally, if you buy them, they will be used by the clan members. Even if you save them, they will be kept for yourself and will generally not be sold to others.
"This is the only way." Claire also planned to go back and ask Sophia if she still had any stock. If there is stock, pay a price and see if you can trade it, but Sophia's family is also a big family, so the probability of having stock is very small.
Rubbing his temples, Claire threw Shane's Purple Crystal Card back, "It's pretty good, I don't owe you any money anymore."
Shane had no choice but to smile and put Purple Crystal Card away, "The auction isn't over yet, do you still want to take a look?"
"Let's see, it's almost over anyway." Claire slumped down on the sofa, looking exhausted.
"The next lot is a Battle Aura How to Practice..."
As soon as Ron's voice landed, Claire jumped up from the sofa.
This Battle Aura Cultivation Method was spread from a kingdom that was destroyed. It is said to be a spread, but it should actually be regarded as a trophy, allowing the knights to practice to Sky-level Knight.
The starting price was also three million. Not many people grabbed this lot. In the end, it was bought by Claire for five million. Yes, it was the money borrowed from Shane.
Claire's idea is very simple. The Battle Aura Cultivation Method used by the knights in his territory is only the Cultivation Method that can be cultivated to Great Knight. In a few days, it will not be enough. You will have to buy it sooner or later anyway. Buy it now if you happen to encounter it.
