The Thorne of Destiny

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the main event of the evening."

As soon as Amanda said this, a stalk of grass was brought out on stage by an attendant.

It looked like an ordinary stalk of grass except it was completely silver in color.

"I'm sure many of you have an idea about the final item of this auction.

I won't waste anyone's time anymore.

This is the rank 3 silvereye grass.

It's a remarkable ingredient that can be used to make a rank 3 pill."

"The starting price for this item is 60,000 Qi stones and each increase must be at least 2,000 Qi stones."

As soon as she finishes speaking, the whole auction house fell into silence for a brief moment before there was an uproar.

"F*ck, a rank 3 herb. Where did they even find that item."

""And I thought the axe was already expensive."

"If I had 60,000 qi stones, I would be set for a long time."

Fervent discussions rang our among the people on the ground floor. They obviously didn't have enough money to bid for the item, so they could only dream about getting such an item.

"62,000 qi stones"

"65,000 qi stones"

"70,000 qi stones"

Voices rang out from the private rooms as even they couldn't keep their cool now.

This was what they were here for. They were determined to get this item.

As soon as Melvin saw the silvereye grass on stage, his eyes turned red with greed.

He had been stuck as a rank 2 alchemist for about 10 years now and this was finally his chance.

He was going to do everything in his power to obtain this rare ingredient.

He called out in a deep voice,

"85,000 qi stones".

The whole auction fell into silence again as the people at the bottom were trying to figure out who would raise the price by a whole 15,000 Qi stones.

The faces of the family heads in the private rooms became serious ad they recognized the owner of the voice.

Alchemists were a rare commodity and they would not want to offend them if possible.

After all, if they offended Melvin,it would impact their ability to procure pills.

Many of the people backed off when they heard Melvin's voice.

Melvin was smiling to himself as he knew what was going on. He thought he had won the bid when a slightly hoarse voice sounded, freezing the smile on his face.

"90,000 Qi stones."

Melvin's face turned cold as soon as he heard the voice.

Of course it was his rival, alchemist Alfred.

Alfrec was also a peak rank 2 alchemist so it was obvious he wasn't going let this item go easily.

Melvin gritted his teeth and called out somewhat reluctantly,

"95,000 Qi stones."

Alfred didn't bid this time. It was as of his previous attempt was just to infuriate Melvin.

Seeing that no one else made a bid. The item was won by Melvin who heaved a sign of relief after winning the herb.

He had spent a significant amount of his fortune this time because he wanted to make sure nothing unexpected happened.

However, he still didn't know that what would happen next wouldnt even have occured to him in his wildest dreams.
