Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

Chapter 196 Auction ( 6 )

A total of five sets of these potions were sold in succession and Vincent managed to get one for a staggering price of 13,000 Mana Crystals.

'I should've bought the first one…' Vincent couldn't help but smile in dismay. He can no longer participate in the next auctions using his Mana Crystals. He was only left with a couple of thousand so he can only watch until the 'trading' started.

The reason he bought the item was that he knew the effectiveness of the Mana Upheaval Potion. He also knew that he can't acquire this with honor points in the First Tower.

The most that he could do is to either enhance this potion and consume it or allow Severin and his team to study this potion in case they could recreate a version of this.

Apparently, among the 16 Followers of Qheglena, two of them have gifts in alchemy and have been assisting Severin in the creation of products that are being sold in their Beacon Magic Shop.

"The 50th item is another rare high-grade potion! We only have a single vial of this potion so you only have this one chance to acquire this here. This potion is not something we could recreate, not even Tier 5 Alchemists! So this may be the first and last time you'll be able to see this potion…. This is called Permanent Transformation Potion!"

Magenta then further explained that this potion can literally change the appearance of someone making them completely unrecognizable from their previous self. The problem with this potion is that it is irreversible.

As the name suggests, the appearance that you'll randomly get will be permanent. The only good thing about this is that your height and gender will still be the same after consuming the potion.

Additionally, the others who consumed this potion either became good-looking, terrifying, or just average.

It seems that a set of this potion was found inside a dungeon and the Nexus Organization only acquired two of them after being shared with other explorers. One of them has been consumed and one is now being sold.

No one doubted the appraisal of the Nexus Auction House as many people became excited. Although there is a side effect that they have to consider, the desperate ones will still grab it.

The auction then started as the ones in the VIP room finally started getting serious.

The potion exceeded the amount of 21,000 Mana Crystals.

"Hmm… I didn't think it would be that expensive…" Vincent initially thought that not many people would want to buy such a suspicious potion.

After all, if you ended up being a terrifying human, you can probably only live with a mask on your face to avoid being hunted by Hunters in case they thought that you are some kind of a demonic beast.

'Oh… Now that I think about it, some hiding criminals might actually want this item…'

Vincent then looked at the VIP rooms understanding their desire to purchase the potion.

'Even if it's not for themselves, those rich criminals might want to purchase this…' Vincent mused as he realized that this potion might end up in the black market real soon.

As the auction continued, many more High-Grade Potions and Tier 3 or Tier 4 Pills appeared.

Of course, the Tier 4 Pills that appeared weren't as valuable as the Tier 4 Rejuvenation Pill that many are waiting for.

There are Tier 4 Pills that only require a top-tier Alchemist to be created since their ingredients are quite easy to find.

On the other hand, some Tier 4 Pills have extremely demanding requirements as most of them don't just require a top-tier Alchemist but also world-class ingredients and special grade cauldron or pill furnaces.

Vincent even learned that some top-tier pills or potions require a specific type of fire or mana cultivation to concoct such medicinal drugs.

As the auction continued, the 70th item to be auctioned finally arrived.

"The items we will be displaying starting now are only commissioned to us to be sold here. The owners of these items are also in the VIP Rooms right now. Furthermore, all the next items can no longer be bought by Mana Crystals. These people are requesting a trade of material with equal value or whatever in their mind instead."

Velvet said as she now stood on the stage wearing a floral dress that is now complementing her blue ombre hair as per Yasin.

"What?! A trade?"

"Tsk… You should've told us about this beforehand. How could we prepare now?"

"That's right! Does any of you know about this?"

"What if we didn't bring any item? Can we still participate? It's your loss if I can't join!"

All the people who complained were those at the first level. Furthermore, there are only about 20 of them who were causing a commotion.

They soon realized that they were the only ones unaware as they could only shake their heads and return to their seats... embarrassed.

Velvet didn't even have to bother replying to them as these people could only sit and blame themselves for being uninformed.

"Alright! If you all understand, then we will start with our 70th item! An Interspatial Ring! Although it looks like a simple ring made of red acacia, this is a magical artifact with a small pocket dimension that could fit twenty Bronze Bears inside. With just a mere thought, the wearer can easily store and retrieve the non-living items inside. Yes, as long as it doesn't have souls, they can be stored so easily!"

Velvet announced as she looked at everyone's faces. She was satisfied with their reaction.

As soon as she said that it could fit twenty Bronze Bears, many of them couldn't help but gasp. Most of them have only heard about an Interspatial Ring that could fit one or two Bronze Bears inside.

Having twenty of these large creatures can probably carry your house at this point.

Unfortunately, their mana crystals can't be used anymore and they could only wait for what type of item the seller wanted for this.

"Ehem… With such a valuable ring, the seller wanted a weapon that could break or cut an adamantine even without the use of mana or aura. It's important to take note of the last part since the place it will be used had restrictions. Furthermore, an average person must be able to carry this weapon." Velvet said as she listed what the seller wants in exchange for this interspatial ring.
