As she finished explaining everything she needed to inform those who came for the auction, the auctioneer Meng Ya officially started the auction.
Since the first day was for cultivation resources and only cultivation resources, Meng Ya started off the auction with a bottle of freshly condensed Solar Essence.
"All of you should already know how valuable Solar Essence is."
Nodding their heads, everyone in the audience kept on looking towards that small crystal vial which contained nine yellow drops in Meng Ya's hand.
"After refining the yang energy which is released by the sun for nine straight years, these nine drops of Solar Essence have been collected exactly an hour before the auction started."
Saying so, the woman pulled the lid off to let everyone present smell the Solar Essence.
It literally felt like feeling the warmth of the sun from not the outside of the body, but rather from the inside. It was a totally different and pleasant feeling.
Letting out a pleasant sigh, Jian Shen who could be considered as a part Yang based cultivator due to his special bloodline and the Heavenly Dragon Technique which was a part of the Myriad Sword God Cultivation Technique, felt that he should start drinking this instead of water.
"I don't recommend doing such a thing, husband."
'Huh, why?'
"You wouldn't have to worry about the cost because we can produce as much as you want inside the World Crest, but consuming too much Yang Essence won't be good for your body or cultivation."
Following up for Juewang, Qingyu said, "Possessing only a Yang bloodline is already tipping the balance of your body towards it. Using additional Yang supplements would only further destroy the current harmony of your body."
Nodding his head, Jian Shen was about to say something when Qingyu suddenly said, "But, if you want to consume something like the Yang Essence, we suggest doing so by mixing it with a large quantity of water and then adding similar essences which are related to the other elements."
Shaking his head, Jian Shen said, 'Never mind, that was just a random thought.'
By now the auction for the Solar Essence had already started, and the leading bid was held by someone in the seventh floor because those in the higher floors had no need to purchase something like Yang Essence when all of their families produced huge quantities of it every day.
But, the same couldn't be said about the group of women that came with Jian Shen.
Even though they had heard of its name before and didn't actually know what the best use of it was, with the confident words of Jian Shen who said he'd take care of the bill, they were more than willing to purchase and then test it out themselves.
Also, even if they failed to properly use it, being able to repeatedly smell that scent which felt vaguely similar to Jian Shen's was not a loss either.
Therefore, the group of women who felt like they had suddenly came into money made Jian Shen choke on thin air by doubling the highest bid.
And it was not just Jian Shen, but everyone else in the auction house was stunned after hearing the bid.
Even if they wanted to purchase the Solar Essence, there wasn't really a need to double to the highest bid, right?
Doubling the price and spending so much for something like Solar Essence, it made everyone in the hall think that whoever did this was doing this to show off their presence in the auction.
Not shocked for too long, Meng Ya quickly smiled and asked if there were anyone else who'd like to make a bid before selling it.
At the same time, she began thinking about who it was in the room. After all, there weren't many guests in the tenth floor whom she didn't know.
Making a note to visit the guests when the auction for today was over, Meng Ya continued on to the second item.
Inside the room, Xiulan who had just made the bid turned to see Jian Shen and said, "Thank you, darling. I'll use these to fertilize the flower garden."
Coughing hoarsely, Jian Shen began thinking that it would have been better if she hadn't said such words out loud.
After buying the first item, unlike everyone's expectations the people inside the room didn't stay silent because they had already made their presence known.
Instead, they kept on bidding to obtain at least one of every three items that were auctioned.
Be it because they looked beautiful or mysterious, regardless of the reason the women kept on bidding for everything they felt like buying.
While he did feel that the women were too careless with how they were bidding, what made Jian Shen the most bothered was that explanation that each of them was giving to him after they won the bid.
Even though he told them to not bother explaining, they kept on giving an explanation which was even making someone like him who hadn't done anything to obtain so much wealth feel that their reasons were too childish.
Spirit water to wash clothes because there's a rumour that it will make the clothes fluffy?
Demon Tree's seed to chew and make their teeth white?
The clay of vitality to use as face pack?
What the hell was wrong with these women?!
Luckily no one outside the room could hear the reasons these women were using to purchase the items, if not God know what everyone would think about these women whose spending couldn't even be described by the word lavish anymore.
