Chapter 31 The Philosopher's Stone
"The following item was found by a team of adventurers in the ruins of death. We asked the best appraiser to appraise this item and found that this item has an excellent transmission effect on spiritual power and can store a certain amount of spiritual power. According to the identification of the appraiser, this item should be used as an excellent material for alchemy and used to make spiritual weapons. As for the special value, our appraisers have not yet explored Come out, but everyone, please think about it, will the thing found in the most mysterious forbidden place in the mainland - the ruins of death be an unknown person! Now let's take a look at this mysterious item, we call it - the spirit stone!"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the people around him, Jason shook his head. This auctioneer is very good at creating atmosphere, and in a few words, he made a stone that he didn't know what it was like a treasure.
Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, a plate was brought to the front desk by the hostess. The auctioneer opened the plate, and the lights on the roof of the auction hall suddenly shone on the plate in front of the auctioneer.
A black stone the size of a fist appeared in front of everyone. Under the illumination of the light, it shone with a strange luster. Looking carefully, there seemed to be traces of black aerosol-like things swimming in the black stone. Moving, magnificent and unusual.
"The starting price for the stone of storage spirit is 1,000 spirit coins. Please start bidding!" After speaking, the auctioneer looked around the auction hall, and then stood aside.
"Cut, a broken stone starts at 1,000 spirit coins. It's better to grab it. I think this thing is at most similar to the mysterious stone for making spiritual weapons. It only looks like a few hundred spirit coins. What's wrong with the ruins of death? A stone is still a stone." Xiao Bo curled his lips, although the auctioneer was talking about hype, but those who were fooled were a minority after all.
"This kind of thing is also up for auction. I heard that there are good things in this auction tonight, so I came to take a look. Let me tell you, even President Saha of our trade union seems to be given away by that good thing." Startled."
Xiao Bo looked like he knew the inside story, and turned his head to look at Jason beside him mysteriously, only to find that Jason seemed to be in a daze at the moment.
"This...is this...the Philosopher's Stone?"
Seeing the stone on the stage, Jason was stunned for a moment. After carefully looking at the black stone on the auction stage, Jason's eyes showed a hint of surprise.
In the past, he didn't think that the spirit stone mentioned by the auctioneer would be a good thing. It was similar to what Xiao Bo said. It was probably also a material like Xuanshi, but people had never seen it before. When he saw the stone, Jason's thoughts had completely changed.
"The Philosopher's Stone!" With Jason's eyesight, he immediately saw the black stone, which seemed to be the Philosopher's Stone, which was called the ultimate alchemy stone in the later alchemy world.
After all, there are too few traces of the Philosopher's Stone on the mainland. Even in later generations, Jason has only seen three in total, and the largest one is only half the size of the one on the auction block at the moment. After careful observation, Jason was sure that the one on the stage was the Philosopher's Stone.
"Xiao Bo, do me a favor, how much money do you have?"
After recognizing the black stone as the Philosopher's Stone, Jason had already made up his mind that he must take a photo of the Philosopher's Stone at any cost.
"Why? Don't tell me you want to take a picture of this broken rock, right?" Xiao Bo was taken aback by Jason's sudden question. After seeing Jason's eyes, an ominous premonition appeared. In Xiao Bo's mind.
"Yes, I'm going to order this thing today. Tell me, how much money do you have in total?"
"You have to think clearly..." Xiao Bo couldn't help advising Jason, but when he saw Jason still looking at him with glowing eyes, Xiao Bo knew that he might not be able to stop Jason The thought was gone.
"Okay, I still have 15,000 spirit coins in my spirit card..."
"Thank you, lend me the money first, and I'll pay you back in two days." Jason glanced at Xiao Bo gratefully. Xiao Bo, who didn't know the truth, didn't know this.
"Let me tell you, you have to think about it yourself, don't regret it then!" Xiao Bo couldn't help but persuade Jason again. He didn't feel sorry for his own money, although these were his daily wages. He came, what he was afraid of was that Jason was impulsive now, and he would regret it later.
"Fifteen thousand spiritual coins, although not much, shouldn't be a problem, right? After all, it is impossible for anyone to know the value of the Philosopher's Stone now?" Jason thought to himself, but he clearly remembered that the Philosopher's Stone The discovery of value should have been discovered for the first time by a genius alchemist Edward five hundred years ago.
Ignoring Xiao Bo who was at the side, Jason's attention had already shifted to the ongoing auction.
"Two thousand and five hundred spirit coins!" A person in the audience quoted a higher price.
"Three thousand!" The others did not budge.
"four thousand!"
"I'll give you five thousand spirit coins!" Another loud voice came. The bidding noise around fell down.
"Okay, this Mr. No. 176 offered 5,000 spiritual coins, is there any higher one! This is a mysterious item from the ruins of death." Seeing the scene quiet down, the auctioneer became agitated again. Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, another voice came from elsewhere.
"Five thousand and five!"
"Six thousand!"
Jason looked at the ever-increasing price, and the sweat came out on his forehead. Xiao Bo said that he only had 15,000 spirit coins, and if it exceeded this price, there was nothing he could do. But the rich people here are really stupid. They don’t even know what it is. Just because the auctioneer said it came from some dead ruins, it was raised to such a high price. Aren’t they afraid that the auctioneer will just take a stone to fool them? ?
"Seven thousand five!"
The price finally stopped at this position again.
"Ten thousand!" Jason quoted his price. But now no one is robbing him, and no one will spend 10,000 spirit coins on an unknown item, even if that item comes from the ruins of death.
"Ten thousand! Well, Mr. No. 218 offered ten thousand. Is there anyone else who offered a higher price?" The auctioneer waited for a while and found that no one had offered a higher price. "Okay, Xu Ling The stone of the stone belongs to this gentleman, now let's look at the next item..."
"My money..." Seeing that Jason had really photographed the spirit stone, Xiao Bo beside him couldn't help but wailed.
The auction was still going on, and Jason was immersed in the joy of his successful auction of the Philosopher's Stone.
