Chapter 244 Source
The bidders cursed and screamed at the auctioneer for being shameless.
Meanwhile, Davis was quite happy that he managed to get the bid for the least amount out of the five batches.
Natalya also noticed this as she had nothing to do after waking up and her impression of him only grew stronger.
After this, the auctioneer took out numerous elemental spirit stones one after another but Davis didn't bid for it because he wasn't well versed in those attributes.
Soon, the end of the second day approached and by this time, all of Davis's Armaments which were bought by the auction house were sold off.
Since he paid attention to his items, he was able to calculate how much the auction profited from him.
When he added all of them, the amount added up to 2,350,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones.
To this, Davis smiled wryly. They managed to profit off 700,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones of him.
More time passed as various items such as stolen cultivation manuals, techniques were sold off one by one.
Davis thought of buying one but since they were all of High-Level Sky Grade and below, he obviously didn't care.
All of his current cultivation methods were of Sky Grade, and even when compared to the Sky Grade Manuals of the first layer, they didn't lose it out in any way except for the inscribed laws which were actually detrimental to others who had the talent to comprehend on their own.
Actually, they were of even higher grade because as time passed by, they were worked on by countless people to reach the pinnacle power possible, unlike the Sky Grade Manuals which belonged to the First Layer.
Besides, the cultivation manuals from the second layer were created by people who recorded their own comprehension of laws in it.
Although this was a type of weakness to the one who learns it, it was also a type of advantage one possesses over the other who cultivates in a manual that doesn't provide any law comprehensions.
But all of this doesn't matter since there were no King Grade Manuals and Techniques in the second layer.
What Davis wanted to get his hands on were King Grade Manuals and Techniques.
'Unfortunately, I don't have the capital to buy one...' Davis chuckled to himself.
He was just too greedy and selfish, still waiting to see if a lucky opportunity would arise.
...
It was soon the third day and also the last day of the auction.
Davis looked forward to it because he heard that there will be Peak-Level Sky Grade Items and King Grade items for auction on this day.
He had accidentally heard it from the staff when he took a stroll outside the VIP room.
Even when he checked the list of items on the jade slip he was given, he didn't find any Peak-Level Sky Grade or Low-Level King Grade Items for auction.
Most likely, he guessed that all the items that nets a high amount of wealth weren't recorded in the jade slip.
It also explains why he didn't know the existence of the elemental spirit stones and spirit stone vein fragments or the existence of the Princess with the Dual Cultivating Physique in the underground auction.
And speaking of the elemental spirit stones and spirit stone vein fragment being sold here, he more or less could guess that they were stolen from the mines belonging to the Tripartite Alliance.
"Folks, let us welcome the last day of the auction! I know that many of you who bid on the first day are eager to get your merchandise as soon as possible but I believe the first item on auction for today will blow your mind away!"
The auctioneer grinned and grabbed the cloth as he majestically removed it.
A diamond-shaped crystal the size of a head was displayed. When the auctioneer removed the cloth, waves of energy hit the crowd in the face making them gasp in excitement.
Utter silence remained on the auction house and nobody dared to make a sound.
The knowledgeable ones in the VIP rooms had bloodshot eyes, trying to confirm if their eyes were betraying their minds.
Seeing that the whole crowd was silent, the auctioneer proudly raised his chin and presented it to the crowd, "This crystal right here is the source of the spirit stones... Don't get it? Let me explain..."
"Everyone knows that a spirit stone mine has countless spirit stones that is formed from spirit stone vein fragments. Then where do these spirit stone vein fragments energy from? The answer to that is this! A Spirit Stone Vein Core!!!"
"This is a Low-Level Spirit Stone Vein Core that can produce Low-Level Spirit Stone Vein Fragments! Remember that when you possess these two items with heaven and earth energy absorption formation, you can produce countless spirit stones for yourself!"
"Such an item is sought but never found and right now, you people have the opportunity to get one!!!"
"It is hypothesized that the Low-Level Spirit Stone Vein Core has energy equalling to that of 1,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones! We will have that has the starting bid price! Let the auction begin!"
*Ding!~*
"We have an enormous bid! VIP room 27 offers 2,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!"
*Ding!~*
"VIP room 22 offers 2,500,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!
*Ding~!*
In VIP room 17, Davis had a stiff expression on his face thinking how wonderful it would if he could get his hands on it.
He could bring this to the second layer and have it produce a lot of spirit stones in the future but now, he had to suck his own thumb up in frustration since he didn't have enough capital with him.
While he was sulking in the realization of being poor, the bids had already increased to 5,000,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!
The bids had increased so fast that only a select few VIPs were able to compete for it now.
After a few minutes, it was sold to the person on VIP room 33 for 6,500,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones!
6,500,000 Low-Level Spirit Stones was a sum he could've afforded if he had sold the Low-Level King Grade Sword which belonged to Severin.
But only a fool would do that in the Tripartite Alliance Territory.
Davis wasn't stupid, he didn't sell it, neither did he sell those Peak-Level Sky Grade Armaments in consideration of his cautiousness.
If someone from the Tripartite Alliance were here and if Davis were to sell the King Grade Sword, he would've truly been screwed as the Roxley Family would sell him out without hesitation.
