Next, there were no treasures worth Player Zhang Hao's bid. However, he was quite satisfied with the gains from this time. But since he was here, Zhang Hao naturally wasn't in a hurry to leave. Anyway, this auction should end soon.
Indeed, the Auctioneer called out, "Now is the last treasure of this auction."
Soon, a beautiful maid walked up with a tray. Everyone was very curious about what this treasure would be. After all, many people knew that the last treasure was always the highlight treasure of the auction house.
Immediately after, the Auctioneer lifted the satin covering the treasure.
"This is Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil), which can ripen spiritual herbs. For example, a medicinal material that is only one year old, under Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil), can be ripened to the level of ten years or a hundred years in the shortest time," the Auctioneer said with a smile.
"Boom!"
Following the Auctioneer's words, almost all the guests were stunned. This was definitely a treasure! Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) that could ripen medicinal materials was worth buying even if it meant losing everything.
At this moment, even some guests who had not participated in the bidding before were now eager to try. Not bidding didn't mean these people didn't have crystal stones; it just meant they hadn't encountered a suitable treasure.
Zhang Hao felt a bit strange. This kind of treasure was absolutely Heaven-Defying. How could this auction bring it out? He felt something was odd.
Right, didn't I have an Evaluator skill as a secondary profession? I've just used it very little. Wouldn't I know what's going on if I evaluated it?
Anyway, this evaluation skill is effective for treasures within a hundred-meter radius. The distance from his private room to that Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) seems to be less than a hundred meters. It should be effective.
"Evaluate!" Zhang Hao silently chanted.
"Ding dong! Unfortunately, the Evaluator level is too low to evaluate!" The System's prompt sounded.
"Damn, my Evaluator level is too low? That means the level of this Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) is too high." Zhang Hao was a bit speechless.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao wasn't discouraged. The System's store had skill pills for sale.
One skill pill cost ten thousand points. Zhang Hao bought three at once.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, Player Zhang Hao, your Evaluator has leveled up! Current level: Second Order!"
Continue evaluating!
"Ding dong! Unfortunately, the Evaluator level is too low. Unable to evaluate!" The System's prompt sounded again.
Zhang Hao was completely speechless.
Although Zhang Hao felt the pinch, he spent points again. He directly upgraded his Evaluator level to a Ninth Order Evaluator. Although it cost him tens of thousands of points again, he was too curious about what this Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) was. Otherwise, if he bought a useless Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil), or if it was another scam like that Fire Cloud Sword, it would be laughable.
After Zhang Hao upgraded to a Ninth Order Evaluator, the evaluation finally succeeded this time.
"Ding dong! Congratulations, Player Zhang Hao, evaluation successful! Proficiency +3"
Zhang Hao immediately opened the evaluation panel. He checked the attributes of the treasure displayed on the evaluation panel.
Treasure: Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil)
Level: Saint Level
Description: Can ripen spiritual herbs and shorten the time. However, because Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) has been used too many times, its energy depletion is severe, and its effect is minimal.
Zhang Hao was depressed. As expected, it was another scam. This Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) was obviously indeed a treasure originally. But even a treasure can't withstand frequent use. Now, Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) might still be usable for a while, but the effect is definitely greatly reduced.
"Is there a way to remedy it?" Zhang Hao asked casually.
"Yes, requires points to purchase!"
The System was silent for a moment before answering.
Zhang Hao had originally just asked casually, not expecting the System to actually have a solution.
Alright, as long as there's a way. If he had just bought a scam, so be it. Although he was rich, he wasn't the type who could spend freely.
"The Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) auction begins! Starting bid: one hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones!" The Auctioneer shouted loudly.
One hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones was equivalent to ten million lower grade crystal stones. This starting bid was the same as Zhang Hao's top-grade Dan starting bid. And it was directly using high-grade crystal stones as the unit price.
"Two hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones!"
"Three hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones."
"One million! high-grade crystal stones!"
The price quickly broke through to one million one hundred thousand.
Soon, only three parties were left bidding. These three parties were in the private rooms next to Zhang Hao's. Although Zhang Hao didn't know who these people were, being able to come here clearly meant they were not short on money.
"One million three hundred thousand!"
The VIP in Seven's private room called out one million three hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones. One must know that one million three hundred thousand high-grade crystal stones is equivalent to one hundred thirty million lower grade crystal stones. This was definitely an astronomical figure.
"One million four hundred thousand!" Zhang Hao finally made a bid.
"One million four hundred fifty thousand high-grade crystal stones!"
"One million five hundred thousand!" Zhang Hao bid again.
Zhang Hao was a little nervous. If the other party continued to bid, he might be powerless. Adding the money from selling the top-grade Dan and the High Grade dragon tiger pill, plus all the crystal stones he had on him, it was roughly this amount.
The VIP in Seven's private room fell silent and finally gave up. Clearly, this Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) was not worth investing more crystal stones than this amount.
Inside Seven's private room,
A youth looked at another Middle-aged man and said unwillingly, "Father, we could still compete, why did we give up like this?"
The Middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Forget it, I bought this Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) not because of its ability, but just out of curiosity! Since we can't buy it, there's no loss..."
"Father, that Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) can ripen spiritual herbs, why aren't you paying attention to it instead?" the youth looked at his Father in surprise and asked.
The Middle-aged man shook his head and smiled at the youth, "Heh heh, if it were really that magical, do you think it would still appear in an auction house? It would have been hidden away long ago, cherished as one's own."
the youth said in confusion, "But this auction shouldn't use fake treasures to deceive people, right?"
The Middle-aged man pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it did have this function before, but its power should have been almost exhausted long ago. Now only the last trace of power remains. This kind of trick is also a common method used by auction houses, it's no longer a secret."
the youth suddenly understood and said, "Father is still amazing. If it were me, I would definitely have been deceived."
The Middle-aged man shook his head and smiled, "That's because you lack experience. You'll know in the future. But what I'm more curious about is, who exactly is the guest in private room ten."
At this moment, in private room ten, Zhang Hao held the newly delivered Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) in his hand and began to study it.
This Da Di Xi Rang (Earth Breath Soil) was a piece of black soil about the size of a washbasin, and it didn't look particularly remarkable.
