Chapter 316 - Auction starts
Rain composed herself and took out the microphone. "Hello, distinguished guests from the clan and afar. The auction will now start."
She didn't explain the rules because everyone had already been notified by the assistants in every room about them.
She waved her hand, and an item appeared in front of everyone. It was a purple flower covered with thick petals.
"This item is called the Spider Lily. It can be used to refine many potions and can extend one's lifespan."
"The starting price will be 100,000 spirit stones, with an additional 10,000 spirit stones for each subsequent bid."
After she said that, everyone was shocked, and the crowd erupted into an uproar.????????????????????????????????.????????????
"Wow, I didn't expect to see the Spider Lily here. I heard Lord Muzan was looking for it."
"My alchemy clan should get this flower."
"I am old; I need this. I hope everyone can give me face."
Many voices could be heard, and everyone was excited. The first item alone was already shocking, and they were eager to participate in the event.
Dave looked at the item and wasn't interested. He was now considered an Alchemy Emperor in terms of knowledge, and this flower was only an inferior type of Demonic Purple Flower. The latter could grant a hundred thousand years of lifespan and maintain one's youthful appearance. He didn't need this, so he didn't place a bid.
"150,000 spirit stones."
"You expect to get the Spider Lily for just that price? 300,000 spirit stones!"
Some had a heated bidding war, and in the end, the flower was sold to an old man who spent 500,000 spirit stones to acquire it.
Rain smiled, feeling that the start was good, and then she presented the next item.
A blue sword floated in the air, emanating a strong and cold aura.
"This item is called the Frost Sword, once owned by one of the Sword Saints, Frost Sword Saint."
"He decided to auction this sword because it is now useless to him and he wishes to pass it on to the next generation. He also highlighted that there are some hidden techniques inside it."
"What? The Frost Sword Saint?"
After she said that, everyone became even more excited, their eyes fixed on the sword with desire. If they obtained the sword and comprehended its techniques, they might become disciples of the Sword Saint. Being a Sword Saint in the clan meant reaching the pinnacle of swordsmanship and strength. It could change their fate and elevate their status to another level.
Dave smiled and said, "As expected of the Alexander Clan, they're even auctioning off this kind of sword."
Dave inspected the sword and saw that it was a good one. While not the strongest he had ever seen—it was weaker than his Black Sword—it was still valuable to those who sought to become stronger. His own sword had become a Legendary Item thanks to the black slime and its potential for continued evolution.
The Frost Sword was only an Epic Item, but it was still highly sought after, especially because of the techniques hidden within it, left behind by the Sword Saint, which were undoubtedly of great value.

He also had a mysterious sword in his tattoo, a God Level sword given to him by his mother. Dave had come to realize before that his mother's origins were not simple and that she might be an incarnation of a powerful being in the celestial plane. He didn't know if she was alive, but he hoped she was because he wanted her to be reunited with his father.
His mother's own technique, the Sword of Calmness, was also formidable, but he had only comprehended a few of its forms.

Dave looked behind him and saw Jiang Chen gazing at the sword with desire, but he seemed saddened, likely realizing that he couldn't afford such a treasure. Dave smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Do you want that sword?"
He asked, wanting to tease him a little because Jiang Chen's own sword was also an Epic Level Sword, though he didn't seem to know its true worth. Dave knew that Jiang Chen could also ask his grandpa, a Sword Saint, for some swords, but the desire for the Frost Sword must be because of his physique. Jiang Chen's body could easily absorb the sword and comprehend its technique, making him much stronger.
Jiang Chen nodded but replied bitterly, "I feel that I can become stronger if I acquire the sword. It's a pity that I am a poor man."
He knew his status so he didn't have much hope to acquire such treasure.
Dave smiled and said, "Then we will get it. What is the use of my money if I don't spend it?"
Jiang Chen was stunned, wanting to reject the offer, but Dave continued, "Hmm, it's hard to be rich. I recently found some money on the road while walking, and they were inside a spatial ring. I also found some fancy clothes."
Dave grinned, and Roco's face turned black as he realized that Dave was referring to the wealth he had stolen from him.
"Also, I need to spend it because my father said he will punish me if I continue to be thrifty. My house is full of money, and I find it hard to use it all."
Dave sighed, and Grace wanted to punch Dave's face, but she restrained herself due to tiredness because of their recent battle.
Jiang Chen was stunned, and he knew that Dave was just letting him not feel like he owed him too much. Dave was kind to him and willing to spend money on the sword.
He listed this favor in his heart and plan to repay him in the future.
"This sword will start at 1 million spirit stones,"
Rain announced, and everyone began bidding, their excitement palpable. Each guest had their eyes locked on the sword, eager to obtain it at any cost.
