It seed that the "distinguished guests" had all gone mad, with the first bid being a staggering thirty thousand diamond currency. The price continuously soared, and in just a short while, under the dumbfounded gaze of Ah Dai and his companions, it had already skyrocketed to sixty thousand diamond currency. Ah Dai, recalling what Ice had said earlier, suddenly hoisted his bidding sign and shouted, "I bid eighty thousand diamond currency." The noisy hall imdiately fell silent. Every person understood what eighty thousand diamond currency ant... it represented a whopping eight hundred thousand gold coins!
Jin Bo glanced at Ah Dai, gave a faint smile, and said, "Good, distinguished guest number 36 has bid eighty thousand diamond currency. I wonder if there will be any more raises. Eighty thousand once, eighty thousand twice..."
"Wait, I bid one hundred thousand diamond currency." A hoarse voice echoed from a corner. Ah Dai and his companions, instinctively, all turned to look in that direction. The man was shrouded in the dark, making it impossible for them to make out his features, but Ah Dai could not help but sense the threat he posed. One hundred thousand diamond coins, that was a price the trio couldn’t afford, but facing the elf girl, they were determined to win. Ah Dai hesitated slightly, leaning over with his back to Ice, he softly muttered the spell for Dragon’s Blood. Under the faint blue light’s glow, the serpent tendon from the millennial giant spirit serpent they brought from Tian Gang Mountain was in his hand. Ah Dai pushed his power to the limit, using his refined sharp blade, he cut off about five ters of the serpent tendon and shouted, "I bid ninety thousand diamond currency, plus a millennial giant spirit serpent tendon." Even though he was unsure of the tendon’s value, according to the Sword Saint of Tian Gang, the toughness of the tendon was on par with black iron.
Jin Bo was taken aback. He knew exactly how much money the trio had. When he heard the bid of one hundred thousand diamond currency, he thought they would surely give up, but to his surprise, Ah Dai made that bid. He frowned and said, "Distinguished guest number 36, we only take cash at our auction. I can’t really say how much your snake tendon is worth."
Ah Dai carefully set Ice on the sofa before standing up. He held up the Giant Spirit Snake tendon and said, "How much the snake tendon is worth, I can’t say either. But, I can assure everyone here, its toughness is sothing none of you present here can break." After saying this, he stepped onto the auction stage, stood next to the cage that held the Fairy, and solemnly said, "This Fairy girl, I must acquire. If anyone can afford it, I’ll sell this snake tendon to him on the spot. The starting price is ten thousand diamond coins."
Soone from the crowd questioned, "Who can prove that the snake tendon you hold is genuinely from a millennial giant spirit snake? That’s just a creature of legend."
Ah Dai frowned and said," I guarantee with my honor that this tendon is indeed from the millennial giant spirit snake."
"Who would believe your bullshit? How much is honor worth?"
"I believe that he does indeed have a genuine millennial giant spirit snake tendon." A figure rose from the guests. Ah Dai took a closer look and realized it was the high-ranking alchemist, Mi Bo, whom he had previously seen at the Noble Hall. Mi Bo shouted loudly, silencing the clamor around him. Speaking in a serious tone, he said, "Everyone should be familiar with , Mi Bo. The mage on the stage is an elder from the Mage Guild. I believe that, considering his status, he wouldn’t lie. Elder, I bid twenty thousand diamond currency for your snake tendon. I think it could be very good for my alchemy."
Ah Dai greeted Mi Bo with a nod and a faint smile. Having heard Mi Bo’s words, doubts began to cloud the other guests’ minds. Mi Bo was a frequent custor at auctions, and everyone knew that an alchemist’s appraisal was always accurate. Every item that Mi Bo had ever bid on was of high quality; seeing him place a bid, others instantly began to shout their own bids. The final price was raised to thirty thousand diamond coins by a rich man. When he took the snakeskin that seed like a white thread from Ah Dai’s hand, he couldn’t help but wonder if this thing was really worth that much.
Ah Dai saw his doubts and started chanting, "Fire elents that fill heaven and earth, please grant your warm power, condense into a ball, and appear in my hand." A dark blue fireball appeared in Ah Dai’s hand, causing the rich man to step back due to the scorching temperature. Ah Dai said, "The temperature of this fireball is very high. Watch this." He held out his right hand, housing the fireball, and moved closer to the cage with the Fairy. She imdiately curled up and started shivering, just like Ice had done earlier. Ah Dai directed the fireball to fly up and hit the cage with a speed that sent the fireball through the strong iron bars, instantly lting it into a puddle of molten iron. Ah Dai returned the serpent tendon to the stunned rich man and tossed it on the fireball in his hand. The tendon fell lightly onto Ah Dai’s palm without a trace of damage, as if there was absolutely no heat.
The rich man gasped, "Is it really that magical?" Ah Dai extinguished the fireball in his hand and threw the tendon back to the rich man. The residual heat burnt the rich man’s hand, making him yell, but he was filled with joy. It was clear he was extrely satisfied with the tendon. Mi Bo, who was settled in his seat, was also taken aback. The magic that Ah Dai had used was a simple but powerful fireball. Even though it didn’t seem like he had used his full strength, the extre heat of the fireball far exceeded his level. He regretted not persisting and buying the snake tendon himself.
