East Meet West - Chapter 273: Auction Ends and Using Brown Thunder Crystal
273- Auction Ends and Using Brown Thunder Crystal
Lehri Dhun announced the starting price of Monster Core of Blue Patterned Fame Parrot, which was Five Hundred Thousand Gold Coins.
Within just 10 seconds, the price crossed 1 million gold coins.
And after another 2 minutes, the bidding war slowed down when the price crossed 2 million gold coins.
And now all the big players inside the gold VIP rooms were competing fiercely against each other.
As for others including Bronze and Silver VIP rooms, they already gave up regretfully because they cannot afford such a huge price.
Finally, when the price was raised to 2.3 million gold coins, most of the competition between big players died down.
Seeing this, Orochi did what he has been doing for quite some time- Increasing Bids and Eliminating Competition.
“2.5 Million Gold Coins.”
From the beginning, Orochi would at a time increase the bidding price by a large number and make those who are struggling, to give up and not waste his time by increasing the bid by a small amount.
So, many of the competitors gave up bidding due to his actions, and the number of competitors shrank rapidly.
And finally, at 4 million gold coins, Orochi was able to get his hands on the monster core.
After Orochi got his hands on the monster core, he could still feel a few malicious looks coming from the surrounding rooms, but how can Orochi be scared by this?
He smiled coldly and wanted the opponents to trouble him because it will give him the reason to eradicate them and their background.
Yes, Orochi is the type of guy who takes the word ‘revenge’ to a whole new level.
But there was still some pain in his heart because just the amount he spent in today’s auction is almost 50% of his wealth, which includes all the gold coins and low grade energy stones.
But luckily, from the storage ring of Jack Xavier and his wife, Orochi was able to obtain 3 notes of 1 million gold, that can be exchanged at any trading organization.
Gold notes are those currency notes issued by the trading organizations like the Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce, to tackle the problem of carrying a large number of gold coins.
Storage rings with large spaces are very expensive, and people also cannot carry huge bags of gold coins with them. And they also cannot place it in storage rings
So, when currency notes were introduced, they gained popularity very quickly.
So now, with the savings of the couple, Orochi was able to reduce the burden on his pockets and got all the 4 items for which he attended the auction.
Brown Thunder Crystal
Pill Formula Book
Blue Patterned Flame Parrot’s- Monster Core
Spiritual Qi gathering manual
.
Since he got what he wanted, Orochi now waited patiently to see the last few items that were going to be auctioned, which were also the main attractions for today’s auction.
The names of those items are not revealed as the auction likes to keep the audience in suspense.
And the audience also waits patiently for the appearance of the final items of the auction as they too want to know what will appear for the yearly auction of such a prestigious organization.
So, after waiting for an hour, the last and final items for the yearly auction were brought on to the stage, which were the specialties for this time’s yearly auction.
There were 3 items, that could be said to be the blockbuster for this time’s yearly auction such that, people sitting in all the VIP rooms did not even hesitate to empty their pockets and exchange their treasures to obtain them.
The 3 Items were:
1- An Orange grade Level 5 pill- Orchid Dew Pill
2- An Orange Grade Level 4 Axe Type Weapon
3- An Orange Grade Level 2 Fighting Technique called as- Heavenly Wind Sword Technique
.
Orchid Dew Pill, is a pill used by cultivators to break through from the peak of the Transmutation Stage to the Actualization Stage. It is an Orange Grade Level 5 Pill, which is very expensive in the market. And it was sold for 30 million gold coins.
The Axe Type Weapon, which reached the Orange Grade level 4 was sold at 20 million gold coins.
As for the Orange Grade Level 2 Fighting Technique- Heavenly Wind Sword Technique, because it was a fighting technique; it was sold at a good price of 12 million Gold Coins.
And Orochi did not bid for them.
Because he knew that he couldn’t afford them.
Plus, he doesn’t need the Orchid Dew Pill, at least not yet.
As for the Axe weapon, he is not in urgent need of such kind of weapon.
And he has many better fighting techniques that he got from the Bindu Katan, and his cultivation is still in the Mortal Realm, so he gave up buying another Fighting technique.
.
So, with that, the auction ended and after Orochi paid money for the items he bid for, they got delivered to him and he got back to his temporary home with Armelia and June.
The auction ran for quite some time, so by the time Orochi’s group reached their home, the sun had already set and the sky turned dark.
After having dinner with Armelia and June, Orochi went to his cultivation room and immediately took out the wooden box in which the Brown Thunder Crystals were stored.
After picking up one of the Brown Thunder Crystal, Orochi carefully looked at it.
Within the Brown Crystal, Orochi spotted slight electric current flashing once in a while.
After observing it for some time, Orochi asked the system,
“System, can this Brown Thunder Crystal increase the Thunder Element energy concentration in my body?”
‘ding’
‘Yes, the Thunder Element energy concentration can be increased.”
‘ding’
Brown Thunder Crystal: [Red Grade Level 12]
A peculiar type of crystal is produced when a rock receives the baptism of Thunder for a long time.
Note: Can be used to increase the Thunder Element and Earth Element concentration.
‘ding’
‘Does the Host want to absorb Brown Thunder Crystal?”
‘[YES] or [NO]’
.
‘Okay?!?!’
‘Even Earth element Concentration can be increased?”
Looking at this message, Orochi almost blurted out in surprise.
When the system told him that the thunder element concentration is low in his body, and advised him to use external materials to increase the thunder element concentration, he felt that things like Brown Thunder Crystal should come into the category of ‘External Materials’.
And his guess is also proved correct by System.
But subconsciously, he ignored the fact that the Brown Thunder Crystal is originally a kind of rock, that comes under the Earth element.
And due to the baptism of thunder, it gained another element.
And now, the system told him that he can gain both Thunder and Earth elements?
How can he be not surprised?
And just like ‘Icing on the cake’, the system also asked him if the Brown Thunder Crystal should be absorbed.
Immediately, he clicked on the [Yes] button.
And immediately, all the energy inside the Brown Thunder Crystal was sucked into his body.
And that energy got separated into two separate streams.
One Brown colored energy stream and another dark blue-colored energy stream.
But the quantity of Brown Colored Energy stream was very low when compared to the Dark Blue energy stream.
If the quantity of Brown Colored energy stream is 1, then the quantity of Dark Blue Colored energy stream is between 3-4.
Orochi realized that the brown stream of energy should be related to the Earth element.
And the dark blue stream of energy should be related to the Thunder element.
And just like he guessed, the brown stream of energy went towards his 1st Chakra- Muladhara Chakra or The Root Chakra, which is related to the Earth element.
In Orochi’s eyes, the Brown colored 4-petaled lotus absorbed the brown stream of energy, like a sponge that absorbs water.
And the blue colored stream of energy went into the ‘Creation Space’ and was absorbed by the Thunder lotus, which was lying dormant with other elements inside the ‘Creation Space’.
‘crackle’
As soon as the blue colored stream of energy was absorbed by the Thunder Lotus, it jerked as if it was excited to receive this stream of energy.
Crackle
A strong electric current started to swim around its body.
.
‘ding’
‘Earth element concentration in Host’s body is increasing…’
‘ding’
‘Thunder element concentration in Host’s body is increasing…’
.
