Chapter 267: Chapter 267 Auctioning a Magic Artifact_1

Facing these doubts, Master Ge remained calm and composed, smiling as he said, "Today, I will let everyone see how I have refined the Spirit Qi Water!"

Having said that, he placed the Jade Cauldron on a platform and then had a waitress bring over a large bottle of mineral water. In front of everyone, he poured the mineral water into the Jade Cauldron.

Afterward, he placed his hands on both ears of the Jade Cauldron, his eyes slightly closed, mumbling words under his breath, his body trembling slightly as if he was exerting his energy.

A few minutes later, Master Ge finished his exertion. He took a deep breath, stood up straight, brought his palms together, and gave a slight bow to the Jade Cauldron.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the moment to witness a miracle has arrived! The Spirit Qi Water is now refined!"

With that, he had the waitress pour out the water from the Jade Cauldron into many small cups, which were then distributed to the people below.

The people took the cups, looking skeptically at the crystal-clear water inside.

After all, they had all watched the mineral water being poured in, and then they only saw Master Ge mumbling to himself, with nothing else added.

Could something made like this really be effective?

However, when someone drank the first sip, they immediately cried out in astonishment, "Heavens! This water truly has an effect!"

"I feel perspiration all over my body now, and there’s strength surging inside me!"

"So powerful! I feel like I could punch a cow to death right now!"

"It’s incredible! This really is Spirit Qi Water! Master Ge is indeed a true master!"

Everyone who drank the water had the same reaction, and exclamations of amazement filled the venue.

"What kind of thing is this, just some lousy mineral water... Huh?"

Su Qingcheng tasted a mouthful and immediately stopped her complaints. Surprised, her cool and aloof face couldn’t hide her astonishment.

Seeing this, Xu Yourong also took a cup and tasted the mineral water inside, her expression turning odd.

Both had drunk Spirit Qi Water made by Ning Fan before and naturally knew the sensation it brought.

Especially Su Qingcheng, who had even experienced a ’Drunk on Spiritual Essence’ effect due to drinking too concentrated a dose of Spirit Qi Water.

She was certainly familiar with the taste of Spirit Qi Water!

This water actually had a hint of Spirit Qi Water’s taste!

"Ning Fan, do you want to try it?" Xu Yourong looked at Ning Fan curiously, "This water seems to really have a problem."

Ning Fan took the cup from Xu Yourong and tasted it.

After smacking his lips a couple of times and feeling the changes in his body, Ning Fan slightly furrowed his brow and, after a moment of thought, his reaction came.

"This water is not Spirit Qi Water; it must have a type of Elixir Powder added to it, which is why it has a similar warming effect to Spirit Qi Water..."

While the three of them were conversing, Master Ge announced another piece of news.

"Today, the item I shall auction is this Jade Cauldron!"

At this announcement, everyone went wild!

Immediately, someone stood up, raising their arm, excitedly shouting, "Master Ge! I’m willing to bid one billion for this treasure!"

Seeing someone take the lead in bidding, others quickly followed suit. A man in a black suit stood up, calling out with a stern voice, "Master Ge, my offer is two billion! I kindly ask Master Ge to part with it!"

"Heh, the younger generation today has no idea of the value of treasures!"

An elder coughed twice and raised his hand, declaring, "This old man bids five billion!"

As the three started bidding, everyone in the venue joined in, with astonishing figures being thrown around.

"I bid six billion! Who dares to compete with me!"

"You think nobody else has money? Ten billion!"

"Eleven billion!"

In the blink of an eye, an astonishing price had been called out.

Master Ge stood with his hands behind his back, outwardly appearing indifferent, but inwardly he was ecstatic.

’Hahaha, eleven billion! I’ve really hit the jackpot this time!’ he laughed inwardly.

He had known that the Jade Cauldron would sell, but he had not anticipated the price could soar to such an extent!

It seems that in this provincial city, there really are fools with more money than sense!

Hahaha!

"Wait a moment."

Just as the hammer was about to fall, a voice suddenly interrupted the transaction.

Everyone turned their heads in unison towards the source of the voice, only to see a young man standing up, looking indifferently towards Master Ge on the stage.

It was Ning Fan!

Ning Fan glanced at the Jade Cauldron and asked indifferently, "Master Ge, if this Jade Cauldron is as you say, capable of continuously refining Spirit Qi Water like a Cornucopia, then why would you want to auction it off?"

"The profits you could obtain by keeping this treasure to yourself would surely far exceed the money you could make from today’s auction, right?"

Master Ge was taken aback, a layer of cold sweat forming on his forehead, but he still responded with a smile:

"It’s like this: my cultivation has recently hit a bottleneck, so I need to enter a closed-door cultivation, and I don’t know for how long."

"But right now, everyone is in dire need of Spirit Qi Water, and I’ve always been kind-hearted, unable to bear seeing others suffer. So, I thought of putting up this Jade Cauldron for auction to let it stay in the hands of someone more useful and continue to shine."

"Moreover, for a Magic Artifact like the Jade Cauldron, once my cultivation is successful and I break through the bottleneck, this item will no longer be of much value to me—it will become a burden if kept."

However, Ning Fan’s mouth curled into a sneer as he coldly said, "Master Ge, if you ask me, this Jade Cauldron doesn’t have any of the effects you described. The idea that it can constantly refine Spirit Qi Water is completely nonsensical!"

"Everything you’ve said is part of a scam!"

"This Jade Cauldron can’t refine Spirit Qi Water at all!"
