Chapter 27 - Chapter 20 Middle-level Alchemist_3

"Are Dark Beast Cubs being sold here?" Yue Jinghua ignored Xie Yu's exaggeration and opened the auction manual.

The first item that caught her eye was a Third-stage Musk Rat cub.

Xie Yu glanced and said, "Third-stage Dark Beast Cubs, rodent Dark Beasts, unless it's a Sixth-level Sky-climbing Rat, they are all just trivial,"

Unexpectedly, Xie Yu had some research on Dark Beasts, making Yue Jinghua gain a new understanding of him.

"What would you buy at this auction if you were me?" Yue Jinghua, attending the nightclub auction for the first time, had almost no appreciation ability besides Dark Beasts.

"Isn't it obvious? If I had enough Dark Pills, I'd buy Xiao Ya and Xiao Chu, these two sisters, not only officially entering society with them but also enjoying the warmth and scent they bring, making life a bliss," Xie Yu said dreamily.

Seeing Yue Jinghua's deep black eyes, Xie Yu gave a sheepish smile, turning to the third page: "If beauties are unattainable, then we must settle for less, bringing home a piece of iron instead."

What Xie Yu called a piece of iron, was indeed iron.

"Star Falling Iron Ore," stated the auction manual of the nightclub, on the third page, it was neither Elixir Pills nor a Dark Beast, but a block of iron ore.

Mined from a desolate island at the Northern Peak of the Eastern Continent, this Top-grade Xuantie Ore was said to be extraterrestrial iron that fell to earth with a shooting star. Palm-sized, yet weighed a hundred jin. Its hardness is remarkable, even Hundred Refinements steel would break immediately upon contact with this Star Falling Iron.

The auction booklet of the nightclub listed items in ascending order of price, and this block of iron was scheduled to be auctioned right before Yue Jinghua's four True Dark Pills, meaning its estimated price was between five hundred to eight hundred Second-order Profound Pills.

Given the evaluation of Star Falling Iron, it's undervalued.

"It's a pity, only the size of a palm, and it's still raw ore. To truly refine it, it would lessen in size by half. Moreover, the booklet also states that this iron is difficult to melt; even with magma fire, it could only be slightly softened. Otherwise, the price would definitely be much higher," Xie Yu expressed his regret.

Although the nightclub's prices were high, each auction item was fairly marked with its strengths and weaknesses, making it a fair deal.

Despite Xie Yu's scattered way of speaking, his eye for detail was extremely sharp. He had analyzed the pros and cons of every item listed in the booklet from front to back, attracting several other auction-goers to gather around and listen.

With his analysis, everyone understood that the palm-sized iron, despite its scarcity for crafting even a self-defense short dagger and its strict requirements for Fire, was no wonder scheduled so early in the auction.

Enough said, as Xie Yu shook his head in lament and others began to back off, Yue Jinghua came up with an idea on the side.

She was fairly proficient in Qing Pu's Divine Stab technique, which allowed her to probe her surroundings while simply using Controlling Items.

However, due to her limited Divine Sense, the items she could control were extremely small, only the size of an embroidery needle. Although small, Star Falling Iron was more than enough for making over a hundred Divine Needles.

As for the Fire, she had Chaos Green Lotus Fire at her disposal, making refining the Star Falling Iron a breeze.

This piece of Star Falling Iron Ore, she must obtain it, Yue Jinghua secretly determined.

The auction officially began in the evening. A middle-aged man walked onto the stage and announced loudly: "Welcome everyone to the nightclub, today we have ten Treasures waiting for their new owners. The first item for auction is: a Third-stage Musk Rat, with a starting bid of one hundred Second-order Profound Pills, each increment must be at least ten Profound Pills."
