193 Should I Change Profession?

"1200 True Crystals!" Lu Sulan placed her bid with a calm tone, but she was inwardly screaming in excitement.

According to her master, this damaged sword was an Origin God Weapon!

She wanted to get this sword so that she can already change her main weapon. Although her current sword was a Saint Weapon, it no longer holds any significant value to her. After all, Jiu Shen had continuously widened her horizons after interacting with him for more than a month, and she could sense the disdain in his eyes every time he looked at her Saint Weapon.

"1300 True Crystals!" The people from the Beiming Family placed their bid. Quite unexpectedly, they also appeared to be interested in this damaged sword. However, Lu Sulan remained unfazed at this.

'My Ice Cloud Sword Sect has vast amounts of accumulated True Crystals, so it wouldn't be a problem even if the three great noble families bid against me for this damaged sword. I'm just worried about the Alchemy Hall since they are definitely the richest guest in tonight's auction... I hope they won't join in the bidding for this sword...' Lu Sulan thought nervously.

"1500 True Crystals!" The Liu Family placed their bid.

"1550 True Crystals!" The Beiming Family added 50 True Crystals. They weren't as rich as the other noble families because their power lies in their individual strength.

"1700 True Crystals!" Lu Sulan shouted calmly.

"Why are they fighting so fiercely for a damaged sword? Are they idiots? This weapon might have the power of a mid-rank Saint Weapon at this moment, but from how it looks, it seemed as if it is about to break. They might not even be able to use this on a battlefield, so why waste our True Crystals on this?" Elder Kuan muttered coldly as he watched the bidding process of the damaged sword with contempt. He didn't think too much about this sword since it looked like a rusty piece of garbage.

Elder Kuan glanced at the ten disciples of his Xue Family and saw he saw that none of them looked interested in this sword, so he let out a satisfied smile. 'These kids are smart. They can be nurtured well.'

"1800 True Crystals!"

"1900 True Crystals!"

"1950 True Crystals!"

"..."

"3650 True Crystals!" The elder from the Beiming Family shouted with clenched fists. The bid was almost reaching his bottom line, and from the looks of it, the damaged sword wasn't fated to be owned by his Beiming Family.

"3800 True Crystals!" The elder from the Liu Family continued to bid.

"4000 True Crystals!" Lu Sulan wasn't the least bit intimidated by the price. She was willing to get this sword no matter how expensive it was!

"Sigh! You both continue. Our Beiming Family won't join in the bidding for this sword anymore."

The elder from the Liu Family hesitated, but he still shouted. "4300 True Crystals!" This was the final bid he could place and if Lu Sulan would continue, then he would stop by then.

Lu Sulan could sense the hesitation of her competitors, so she could not help but smile excitedly. "4400 True Crystals!" She shouted.

"4400 True Crystals going once! 4400 True Crystals going twice! 4400 True Crystals for the damaged sword, sold! Congratulations to the guest inside the fourth VIP room." Tang Tianyin announced with a smile as she lightly clapped her hands.

Lu Sulan's smile widened and she also heaved a sigh of relief. She then glanced at her master and asked curiously. "Master, is this damaged sword really an Origin God Weapon?"

Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and replied indifferently. "I'm 80% sure that this is an Origin God Weapon, and even if it's not, I have my ways to upgrade it one level higher."

Lu Sulan's eyes brightened upon hearing that.

"There are still two items left for this auction. The next one is a 9th-rank cultivation pill called the Expanding Essence Pill. It has the effects of increasing one's cultivation level, but one should be at least at the 7th-rank Emperor realm in order to consume this pill since the ingredients used in concocting it are very potent. One may explode if they eat it without sufficient strength. The starting price for this pill is 4000 True Crystals and every increment should be at least 100 True Crystals!" Tang Tianyin said as she slowly explained the effects of the Expanding Essence Pill. She was also quite tempted to get this pill, but she knew that she had no way of fighting for it in front of these tycoons.

A 9th-rank Pill was indeed expensive. Not to mention something like the Expanding Essence Pill which could permanently increase someone's cultivation level.

"Woah! There is actually such a high-level pill auctioned tonight! In the Profound Dragon Continent, the only known Alchemy Saint is the supreme elder of the Alchemy Hall, Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian. Is he the one who concocted this pill?"

"Hey brother, don't be stupid! There are a few other Alchemy Saints in our Profound Dragon Continent. It is just that they are not as high-profile as Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian. Even so, the possibility that Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian concocted this pill is high."

Jiu Shen glanced at the 9th-rank Expanding Essence Pill that was placed inside a small jade bottle, but his eyes twitched when he saw it. 'That is indeed the Expanding Essence Pill, but this is only at the High State, so its efficacy is not that strong. It could at most enhance a 7th-rank Emperor's strength by two minor realms. As for the others, they could only enhance their cultivation by one minor realm after consuming it. What a waste of ingredients!' He muttered in his heart.

There are six levels of pills according to their efficacy: Low State, Medium State, High State, Peak State, Perfect State, and Profound State.

The Expanding Essence Pill that was on display was only at the High State, so Jiu Shen's disdain was understandable, but in the eyes of others, this level of pill was already valuable.

Lu Sulan was also disinterested in this cultivation pill. Her master provided them with high-level pills from time to time, so she wasn't even tempted to bid for this pill.

Other than Jiu Shen's group, everyone else discussed animatedly when the Expanding Essence Pill was taken out. Even the emperor appeared to be tempted to bid for it. In fact, he knew that this was concocted by Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian, and he even tried to directly buy it from him. However, Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian declined his offer since he wanted to auction it off to gain more profit.

"4500 True Crystals!"

"4800 True Crystals!"

"5000 True Crystals!"

The bidding for the Expanding Essence Pill became chaotic. Everyone was eager to get this pill since it could permanently increase their strength. Who wouldn't want such a treasure?

Jiu Shen wasn't surprised by this sudden spike in price, but he still felt a bit dumbstruck by the crowd's enthusiasm for such a low-level pill.

'Should I change profession? Maybe I can earn more as an alchemist...'

Of course, this was merely a passing thought for Jiu Shen...
