Chapter 150: Chapter 150 Lottery_1
The Qiankun Merchants announced the most shocking news, they were going to auction a mid-level healing potion at the auction in five days.
This potion could cure all injuries under the Spirit Realm, including the Spirit Realm itself. It could be called a heaven-defying item!
Moreover, the Qiankun Merchants guaranteed it with their reputation. If it proved ineffective, they would compensate with a hundred times the auction price.
Boom!
The news, once it spread within the Floating City, caused a sensation like an earthquake, spreading as quickly as a plague.
"Mid-level healing potion? What's that? It can cure all injuries of the Spirit Realm? If it really has that effect, it's like having a second life. The temptation for those Spirit powerhouses is astonishing, no one would think there's too much of it!"
"How can there be such a magical potion? It's unheard of, unseen."
"This time, the Infinite Merchants also brought out good stuff, originally intending to suppress the Qiankun Merchants. Who would have thought they would be counterattacked. Is this a gimmick, or is it real?"
"Real or fake, the Qiankun Merchants have made a promise. If they lie, they will compensate a hundred times. With their reputation, who would fear it's a fraud? This time there will be a good show."
"Not just that, they have also put forward a large number of excellent divine elixirs and orders for huge quantities of Spirit Yuan Rice."
"Must go and take a look this time!"
.....
For a while, the focus of everyone in the Floating City was on the Qiankun Merchants, everyone was waiting for the auction to begin.
Time passed quickly and in five days a substantial amount of people poured into the Qiankun Merchants.
There were even some Emperor-level existences all going there. They were more interested in the Mid-level Healing Potion even though the Divine Artifacts of the Infinite Merchants were also tempting.
Inside the Infinite Merchants, an auction was also held, but it was sparsely populated.
"Is this auction still going on?"
At the entrance of the Merchants, the high-ranking figureheads of the Infinite Merchants looked at the sparse flow of people, their expressions were very unsightly. Their meticulously prepared auction was stolen by the Qiankun Merchants.
"What's the use of holding it? Who are we going to host it for with these few people?"
Their Great Master was extremely gloomy as he coldly said: "Elder Chen, this is your doing. You went to the Great Wu Dynasty that day and due to your arrogance, our branch was withdrawn, giving the Qiankun Merchants room to exploit. All the Spirit Yuan Rice and the numerous Divine Elixirs, those trades originally belonged to our Infinite Merchants.
Now look how we've given these opportunities to others."
The Great Master was very furious.
"Great Master, I... I didn't expect it to turn out to be like this." Elder Chen, who was not as arrogant as earlier, was trembling in the corner: "I can try to negotiate with the Martial Emperor again, allow the Infinite Merchants to reopen."
"What use could your negotiations do? If your negotiations were useful, I am willing to let you kneel in front of the Martial Emperor and apologize." The Great Master grunted, "Postpone the auction, let's go to Qiankun Merchants to see if their healing potions are real or fake. We have fought them for so many years and I have never heard of such a potion."
The high-ranking figures of the Infinite Merchants set off for the Qiankun Merchants.
"So it's the nobles from the Infinite Merchants. I didn't expect even the Great Master to honor the Infinite Merchants with his presence. It really graces us. Oh right, isn't your Merchants also holding an auction today? You are surprisingly idle enough to come to our Qiankun Merchants"
Upon seeing the people from the Infinite Merchants arrive, Sikong Tu came out, his words full of strong mockery.
"This mid-level healing potion is such a magical item, the Great Master also wants to witness it." The Great Master's eyes suddenly lit up, he politely said to a figure in the distance: "This must be Martial Emperor your majesty, I am the Great Master of the Infinite Merchants. There have been previous disputes between us, please kindly forgive."
It turned out that Chu Yuan was walking towards them led by the people of Qiankun Merchants and was spotted by the Great Master.
"Ji Fuling!"
Elder Chen suddenly caught sight of Ji Fuling and shouted: "Ji Fuling, this person is the Great Master. You always asked me to introduce you to him. Now that you see him, should you not pay your respects?"
"Pay my respects? I am now the president of the Dawu Merchants. Elder Chen, I am no longer who I was before."
If she had seen the Great Master before, Ji Fuling would have definitely been overjoyed.
However, now the Great Master of the Qiankun Merchants had to maintain politeness in front of Chu Yuan. Even when discussing business, he would not act high and mighty.
"Also, now, you no longer have the right to shout at me!"
Ji Fuling suddenly burst into God Stage triple pressure, making Elder Chen retreat in shock.
Elder Chen's face changed dramatically, terrified, he exclaimed, "Ji Fuling, your strength!"
"Fuling, you too came from the Merchants, why don't you hold several positions? You can work in Dawu and also return to the Merchants to hold a position."
The Great Master calmly said: "Martial Emperor, our Infinite Merchants is willing to reopen a branch in Dawu, upgraded to a four-star branch, would it be suitable to let Fuling serve as the head of this branch?"
Sikong Tu looked gloomy, this Great Master was acting improperly, openly trying to poach in front of him.
"Elder Chen was very clear in front of me that day, the Infinite Merchants would never open a branch in Dawu. Does my Dawu seem like a place you can open as you see fit, and close as you see fit?"
Chu Yuan said: "Great Master, isn't the auction about to start?"
"Yes, please take the highest seat, Martial Emperor."
Sikong Tu understood Chu Yuan's intention, laughing heartily. The Infinite Merchants suffered a big loss, they would take all the profit. He said with a laugh: "Everyone, if you're interested, I can also arrange a private room for you."
"Alright."
The Great Master didn't say much, he just coldly glanced at Elder Chen.
This auction, Chu Yuan did not auction off any treasures, he was only observing.
Whatever he wanted, even if it was a divine artifact, the Qiankun merchants would provide it to him directly at the lowest price. He mainly wanted to see how many Spirit Stones his mid-level healing potion would fetch at auction.
"The auction is finally about to begin!"
"This time, the Qiankun Merchants has caused a great stir, even the Infinite Merchants' auction was forced to halt, all came for that mid-level healing potion. This divine item, if obtained, adds a second life as long as you aren't killed in one blow. Who isn't tempted?"
"I heard the Martial Emperor of the distant Dawu is here."
"Martial Emperor? Is that the Great Wu Dynasty that annihilated the Black Ming Dynasty!"
"That's right, the Great Wu Dynasty has been upgraded to a three-star Dynasty in the past two years, especially for the Spirit Yuan Rice, it was transported over from the Great Wu Dynasty, they're the suppliers!"
"Such national treasures, all come from a three-star Dynasty?"
"It doesn't stop there, the Qiankun Merchants even treated the Martial Emperor with the standards of a God-tier being, simply unimaginable!"
"You probably don't know yet. In addition to Spirit Yuan Rice, Dawu also has a terrifying alchemy method which provides the Qiankun Merchants with a large quantity of Divine Elixirs."
"Really want to see what kind of a character this Martial Emperor is!"
...
The auction hadn't started yet, but Chu Yuan's name was already being discussed by many, they might not know about the Great Wu Dynasty, but they had to know the Martial Emperor!
"Everyone! This auction will be hosted by me personally, the first item we have is the one you're most concerned about - the Mid-level Healing Potion!"
Shi Kongtu personally presided over the auction.
And the first item to be auctioned was indeed the Mid-level Healing Potion, what a stunner!
