Chapter 97: 97: Sold

"Master, are you telling me that people can read this language?" Alex asked while pointing to his book.

"Of course. Everyone can read this book, how else are we supposed to learn new techniques?" Ma Rong said.

"But, the writing on the walls and such don't have this language. Most buildings I've visited also don't use this language in their name. How can everyone read it if they don't even use the language?" He said.

"By everyone, I meant the cultivators. Every cultivator starts by learning this language. Since it's just our own language, just written differently, it's easy to learn. Only after that can they learn a cultivation method in the first place."

"So, why doesn't everyone write in the normal language then? One wouldn't have to learn this language in the first place." Alex said after giving it some thought.

"Oh, and what would you do if you come across some ancient texts written in that language? You can already see what is happening right now by people not being able to read that dusty book. What would happen if everyone stopped learning this language?" she asked.

"Hmm… I guess you are right. If that's how the language started then that argument is valid," Alex said.

"Now you get it. Besides, using 2 different languages helps separate a cultivator's text from a normal person's text. But let's forget about that for now. I want to know how you can read that text." She asked.

"I…" 'I can do it because the game developers made it so.' He wanted to say that, but he couldn't. "I don't know. I don't understand the language but can somehow read it. Same with our own language." He said.

Ma Rong couldn't make heads or tails of the answer, so she decided to give up for now and instead focused on her pill being sold. The soul reuniting pill sold for a total of 43 True Spirit stones.

The next item on the auction was an alchemy ingredient called Revitalizing Ginseng. Alex remembered the name from the records he had read on the top floor a few days ago.

"An ingredient for the Body Rejuvenating pill? But I thought those were pretty much extinct?" he said.

"You read the records too? Yes, they were said to be extinct, but it seems our information is wrong." Ma Rong commented.

Cai Ping started explaining the ingredient. "This ginseng on my hand is called a Revitalizing Ginseng. This is the main ingredient for the pseudo-Saint rank pill called the 'Body Rejuvenating Pill'. The pill is incredible, as it can increase a person's life span by an entire Century regardless of if you are a cultivator or a mortal."

"Oh wow. A 100 years?"

"That's a lot!"

"Can anyone really make that pill though? It's a pseudo-Saint rank pill."

"Maybe Hong Wu sect leader can make it, if not, we can ask the Royal alchemist for it."

Numerous people talked about the ingredient in the crowd. Cai Ping continued, "The auction will start at 30 True spirit stones, and each bid has to be 50 common spirit stones higher."

The crowd didn't bid as much this time. 30 True Spirit stones were a lot for most of the people on the ground floor. The people in the VIP however, bid as though their spirit stones grew in their home's backyard.

Alex watched as his master also bid. He had read the records so he knew how good the ingredient in front of him was. A mortal on average lived around 60 years and 100 years at max.

A self tempering cultivator however could live from anywhere between 100 to 200 years on average. Some even lived as long as 300 years.

A True realm cultivator on the other hand could easily live between 500 to 1000 years on average. Maybe even 1500 in some cases.

The Saint realm cultivator's life span wasn't recorded in the records but they were sure to be high in number. Just looking at that, to anyone who was a True realm cultivator or less, a Body Rejuvenating Pill would be a miracle. Especially when they were at the end of their life.

The bidding was quickly ended at the merchant head fatty managed to outbid everyone with his immense wealth. He bid 100 True spirit stones for the Revitalizing Ginseng and snatched it away from everyone.

After buying Ginseng, the fatty immediately walked out of his room and left the auction house. He wasn't a good cultivator so the next item was useless for him.

Quite a few people left the auction house, acting as if the auction was over. After a few minutes, only about 10% of the original audience was left. Most of them being in the VIP and VVIP rooms.

"Finally, here we go fellow customers. You have all checked the book, please bid whatever you feel this book deserves." Cai Ping said not expecting the people the bid at all.

"1 common spirit stones" someone bid as Cai Ping had not set a minimum bid. Cai Ping felt bad but didn't say anything.

"2 Common Spirit stones."

"3 Common spirit stones."

People started slowly increasing their spirit stones in the hope that they could get the book at a low price, and maybe sell it somewhere else for a higher price.

Suddenly, Ma Rong spoke, "10 True spirit stones."

The entire auction hall became silent. The people who were slowly increasing their bid hesitated as 10 true spirit stones was a lot of money. But then why would that person pay it?

The people in the VIP and VVIP rooms were confused as well, but they didn't bid either. Cai Ping on the other hand became grateful towards the guest in room B1.

She waited for a bit for others to bid, and when they didn't she started the countdown.

"10 True spirit stones, going once."

"10 True spirit stones, going twice."

"10 True spirit stones, going thrice. Sold" she hit the gavel on the table with a loud bang. "The final item in the auction has been sold to the Customers in Room B1."
