Chapter 498: Chapter 241: 9th Rank? (6k)

What Bai Yi hadn’t expected was that this time the auction host was the appraiser she collaborated with, which slightly surprised Bai Yi when she found out.

However, considering his resignation plan was known only to her and the appraiser... four people in total.

Facing an appraiser who managed to secure such a major deal with Bai Yi, a promotion didn’t seem impossible.

Maybe this was also a result the appraiser fought for, to better implement his proposed plan.

When he initially proposed those convoluted plans, Bai Yi was quite confused by his explanations, without fully understanding the implementation principles.

But this didn’t mean Bai Yi casually trusted him; it was a decision made after considering various reasons and justifications.

Firstly, as he mentioned, there’s a high chance of facing challenges from alchemists in the Starry Sky in the future, and he involved himself using such means, thus subjecting himself to the same pressure.

It was like voluntarily boarding a pirate ship for the benefits within.

Secondly, even if he hadn’t proposed this plan, the eventual developments wouldn’t change much, as Bai Yi would still sell the potions she intended to.

At this moment, a professional was willing to take charge; at worst, it would only follow the normal course, and no matter how it swayed, it wouldn’t truly shake or touch her core.

So Bai Yi seemed very confident letting the other party begin operation.

She leisurely watched the appraiser perform on stage, after a classic opening speech, and soon he turned to the main topic.

"...Everyone who came here, must have received messages about the new type of potion in the auction items.

I hereby solemnly dispel the rumor—

The message is true!"

With that intentionally suspenseful remark, lights suddenly brightened up behind him, unveiling the coverings on more than a dozen high table displays.

The potion inside the glass showcases instantly stirred up the entire atmosphere in auction hall 003.

Even though it was already known that these potions were only Tier Six, it didn’t hinder everyone’s excitement.

After all, a Tier Six potion doesn’t mean it can’t be used by Seventh Rank or even 8th Rank individuals.

Unless the potion had been used before, it would produce effects.

The most it would do is weaken the effect, but reflecting on their level, they are generally not alone.

Whether it’s for the younger generation at home, or even their own children, there are always those who can use it. Even if they don’t use it themselves, it’s a treasure to take home.

None of these potions are the same as those found in the Starry Sky, which is the best feature of these potions.

Instead, those so-called side effects are not particularly challenging for them.

Not to mention that as Seventh Rank or even 8th Rank practitioners, under absolute power, it can be easily handled, as for those Tier Six, under the Starry Sky, there’s no shortage of talent!

Or perhaps, these potions themselves are a process of selecting talent!

After igniting everyone’s emotions and reassuring them, the appraiser didn’t immediately introduce the potion but presented the first ordinary auction item during the rules introduction.

With this batch of potions, the auction has firmly captured everyone’s hearts from the start.

With rarely seen auction fervor, the auction house naturally didn’t miss the opportunity, slotting in additional items while maintaining everyone’s enthusiasm.

Moreover, under strict control, these weren’t expensive auction items that wouldn’t greatly affect the subsequent potion auctions.

Yet, they might appeal to those wealthy patrons who might casually exceed the typical auction prices.

First, it was profitable, and secondly, it acted as a unique intermission allowing others to seize the chance to raise funds during the auction, achieving a win-win situation.

However, Bai Yi was unaware that this was actually the idea of that appraiser, aiming to accommodate Bai Yi, his new employer.

Knowing Bai Yi wanted to understand the pricing of various resources in the Starry Sky, he deliberately arranged these items of broad range but low prices for Bai Yi’s more comprehensive understanding.

Bai Yi wasn’t aware of the appraiser’s intentional consideration but indeed enjoyed the convenience it brought.

Even among the items, Bai Yi spotted a special "fairy grass," reportedly a good material for medicine-refining.

Though not expensive, Bai Yi, with her growing wealth in the savings card, was wealthy enough to buy it at a premium.

It wasn’t for any refining capability, purely due to it being a new plant variety.

However, Bai Yi felt a bit regretful not experiencing any protagonist-like treatment, where even though she clearly snatched this "fairy grass" from someone’s hands, she didn’t encounter any threatening dialogue scenarios.

With everyone’s cooperation, the auction smoothly transitioned to the first key highlight, namely the formal auction of her first potion.

Coincidentally, the first bottle was the one enhancing the strength attribute.

"...Alright, after the previous warm-up, we’ve finally arrived at the most anticipated segment!

Though I believe everyone was prepared for the negative effects of the potion before coming here.

But I still need to reiterate, the negative effects of the potion are unusually strong, yet correspondingly, the amplification effects are also considerably stronger than typical potions!

Now, the first potion for auction! Starting bid at ten thousand star coins, with a minimum increment of one thousand star coins! Ten minutes display time!"
