Chapter 308 Potion Auction

In the end, this short bow by Master Amabel was sold for 1 gold coin. The elves deducted one point from Lady Carrie in their heart. Her face was already cold in the first place, so now it just got even colder.

“The fifth auction piece was from Prince Adolf. It is the ‘Golden Potion’ made by the elven Master Alchemist, Master Melba!” By this point, Lord Jude was regretting accepting this job as the auction host. After all, the event was more like a battle between 2 cities than an auction. Of course, he knew what the sixth auction piece would be. But it was they were all made for female elves, no way it could be compared to this ‘Golden Potion.’

‘Golden potions were some high-level potions. They could increase the 0% level up possibility an elite or below. This high-level potion was not only made during a flash of realization, but all the ingredients used were also top quality and extremely rare. It was a miracle that anyone could make a Golden Potion.

“This is the first time I see a legendary potion such as this golden potion as well. Looking at the golden electric arcs flashing seamlessly in the crystal glass, you can just imagine how precious this potion is. If you are a Druid, this thing is even more precious to you. It can change your whole life around. Your chance of leveling up is right in front of your eyes. What are you waiting for?! You only have one chance. Maybe it will be many years until you see another one of this Golden Potion!” Lord Jude was very experienced in auctions so his voice always came with excitement.

Although Abel was a Master Alchemist, he didn’t have much experience, so he just directly asked Derek by his side, “Derek, is that Golden Potion really as good as Lord Jude described?”

“Of course, they are one of the best potions for leveling up. Many druids will want to have one by their side when they are about to level up. But at the same time, many of them don’t want to use it because it will come with a scary consequence no matter if he had successfully leveled up or not. That is the fact that they would not be able to level up again in a hundred years!” Derek explained.

By this point, Abel realized the mechanics of these Golden potions. It could unleash the hidden ability of one’s body, maximizing the possibility of leveling up. However, at the same time, it will take another hundred years to recover this hidden ability, and they could not level up during that time. Although this amount of time was not much to elves, to human wizards, that was a large chunk of their lives.

Afterward, Derek said in disappointment, “It seems like Prince Adolf is going to win again. All your pieces are blue potions. Although it is a set, at the end of the day, golden potions are far more precious!”

Abel looked back at Lady Carrie’s direction. He thought she would force him to take out some even better potions, but her gaze actually remained fixed on the auction stage like she was not bothered at all. There was not a single bit of hopelessness in her gaze. In fact, she looked full of confidence.

By this point, the bidding had already started rolling in the hall. It started at 100,000 gold coins, and it only began to slow down until it hit 200,000 gold coins. Although this thing could increase the level up possibly dramatically, many elves still held back due to the side effects of the potion. Most importantly, there weren’t many Druids in the hall. Most of them were young elves in their prime. They didn’t need to stress about if they could level up or not. Now, as the potion had hit 200,000 gold coins, only 2 elves were still bidding.

“Congratulations, this Golden Potion was sold for 230,000 gold coins!” Yelled Lord Jude as the Golden Potion was sent out.

Prince Adolf was not really satisfied with this price. If he had taken this Golden Potion to any big auctions, it could easily go beyond 400,000 gold coins. Even 500,000 gold coins wouldn’t be surprising. Although Prince Adolf was not short in gold coins, it was just a little depressing, considering that he had bought this Golden Potion from another auction for 450,000 gold coins. But, as long as he could make Angstrom City lose face, anything is worth it.

Originally he was planning to keep this Golden Potion for himself, but when he saw the full set of beauty supplies by Master Bennett. He decided that this Golden Potion was still the only thing on him that could win.

Afterward, Lord Jude weirdly introduced the last auction piece “The last auction piece was a set of beauty supplies. It was newly made by Angstrom City’s Master Alchemist, Master Bennett. This set included 8 bottles of blue potions. 2 bottle of ‘Lotions’, 2 bottles of ‘Conditioner’, 2 bottles of ‘Elven perfume’, and 2 bottles of ‘Cologne’. According to the information provided, this ‘Cologne’ was a perfume specifically designed by Master Bennett for males to use.” Lord Jude heard that Master Bennett had become famous due to how effective these potions were, but no matter what, he could not imagine these things trumping the Golden Potion.

At the end of the day, no matter how good the effect of these beauty supplies was, there was no way their value could be higher than a bottle of Golden Potion even if you added all of them up. They were only some intermediate potions after all, and they were the ones made in a flash of realization.

After a while, Lord Jude gave out a price according to his train of thoughts “The floor price is 10,000 gold coins!”. From his experience, maybe even this price was a little bit too high.

However, as soon as the words of Lord Jude landed, a female elf already called desperately “50,000 gold coins!”

Her call was filled with strong and impactful energy. It seemed like she had to take these potions home today, so she had to scare her opponents off by raising the price 5 times from the start.

The moment when Lord Jude wanted to start counting down, something surprising had occurred.

“60,000 gold coins!” Another noble female elf called

“70,000 gold coins!”

“100,000 gold coins!”

“220,000 gold coins!”

“230,000 gold coins!”

By this point, all the male elves in the hall were so shocked they could not even speak. All the female noble elves had heard of the effect Master Bennett’s potion could generate, and their Insane shopping habits had turned this bidding into a war zone.

Especially after they saw the potion’s effect on Grand Duke Edwina and Duke Albert. All the noble female elves had now developed an immense thirst for Master Bennett’s potion. To those female elves, everything was secondary. If they lost gold coins, they could make it back in the future, but they would not let this chance of beauty slide.

The ‘Conditioners’ and ‘Lotions’ Abel had given to the Alchemy Union for sale had been divided by the Alchemy Union internally. If Abel’s work was not mass-produced, maybe they would keep dividing all of them internally as well in the future.

Even those rational and knowledgeable female elves in the Alchemy Union had gone crazy for these potions, let alone normal female nobles. Although the bidding had slowed down, the battle remained.

Now, even the last bit of smile on Prince Adolf’s face had vanished. All he wanted was to teach Angstrom City a little lesson from this auction, but it backfired on him.

Prince Adolf gazed over at Lady Carrie, and then he gazed at Abel, who was sitting not far from Lady Carrie. Afterward, he stood up and walked over to Lady Carrie.

“Sister Carrie, don’t you think this price is a little unrealistic? Did Angstrom City bribe some elves to bid for you?” Prince Adolf didn’t want to accept his loss, but he also really did think that it was absurd that a set of blue potions could reach such a high price.

“Prince Adolf, can’t you see that most of the bidders are from Begro City? Do you really think I have the power to tell them what to do?” Said Lady Carrie pointing at the few shouting female noble elves in the hall.

Prince Adolf gazed over at the status of the auction. Lady Carrie was not lying; most of the female noble elves who were still bidding really were from Begro City. All of a sudden, he didn’t know what to say.
