Chapter 410 Su Style Leek Cutting (3.5k)
“Dragon bone?!”
As soon as Vice President Yan finished speaking, the surrounding breaths quieted slightly, as if everyone was amazed by this voice. Even Hu Ling trembled slightly and looked over abruptly, her beautiful eyes slowly widening.
Su Jiu, that troublesome little fairy, always likes to use these things to test cadres.
Although many people in the field were not clear about the exact details of the alchemical items in the display case, anything related to dragons was not bad, so everyone couldn’t help but show longing.
“It’s a pity that these seem to be made from materials from a dragon claw, and that dragon is a red dragon, which doesn’t suit me.”
Unlike everyone else, Vice President Yan sighed somewhat regretfully. As a substantive scholar, he could see these exquisite objects at a glance. Looking at the luster of firelight quenched on them, his desire faded a lot.
Su Jiu’s movements did not stop. From the bone products eaten by “E Huo”, to those pterodactyls, and finally to valuable products from the giant bone dragon hunted in Seattle, they were all placed one by one. The dragon’s might on the white bones made some lower-grade students even have difficulty breathing.
“These alchemical items are not just from one Western dragon, but also some pterodactyls – and even one is from a truly adult dragon, and that dragon is a undead bone dragon transformed from a demigod-level dragon.”
Compared to the crowd who only knew that the alchemical items were made from Western dragons, Vice President Yan saw another layer of things and suddenly became excited. He was so emotionally agitated that the aura in his body overflowed uncontrollably.
After a pause, Vice President Yan turned his head to look at the deans beside him, then smiled and asked one of them, “Old Man Huo, why don’t you let someone buy you a couple of these red dragon bracelets? Not many dragon-attribute products contain fire attributes.”
The person asked was an old man wearing fire-patterned clothes, who was the red-robed old man who had argued with Vice President Yan over Su Jiu. He looked at the exhibits with flames and was a little tempted, but he shook his head and smiled at his companion, “Forget it, these are for students. We elders can just take a look.”
“Those Western dragon products can actually be bought for less than ten million. If I had these alchemical items, when fighting monsters outside, just the aura would suppress them a lot.”
A teacher couldn’t hold back his temper and had already asked students in his class to help snap them up. The price was some preferential treatment in courses and a little money, which they could afford. The deans were only tempted but didn’t act immediately.
After all, in their eyes, even these teachers were just juniors.
Soon, those dragon bone products were completely surrounded by students, each representing different people. They looked at the dragon bone products in front of them and understood who they represented, and suddenly there was a subtle competition.
“Everyone, please don’t rush to buy. I said there would be Battle King level alchemical items, and there will definitely be Battle King level.”
However, just as these students began to compete secretly and the deans were only stopping to chat, Su Jiu took out a small sandalwood box about half a foot in size from his ring and chuckled.
“It contains a special artifact rhyme and also carries a feeling of piercing cold—it’s a Battle King level alchemical artifact! Judging by its size, it’s very likely an accessory inside!” Seeing the size of the small box and feeling the strong aura inside, even Zi Chen, who knew what was going on beforehand, was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.
Holy crap, are you serious?
Even deans like them couldn’t help but be attracted by this level of item, and were stunned by the aura it released.
Ignoring the eager gazes around, Su Jiu casually placed it on the glass of the fourth display cabinet. With her delicate white fingers, she flipped the lid open, and immediately, a sharp aura rushed out in all directions!
The sudden aura directly permeated the entire school square. Some sensitive bloodlines even faintly heard dragon roars echoing from the box at one point.
“This item is called [Death’s Whisper], it is a necklace accessory, taken from the upper jaw tooth of an Intermediate Battle King level bone dragon. Effect: amplifies the external qi release of users at the Initial Stage Battle King and below by about fifty percent. It can be used once every three days, and during release, there is a certain probability of summoning…”
With a slight upturn of her lips, Su Jiu slightly flicked her sleeve and held the sandalwood box high. A dragon fang necklace lay flat inside.
The surface of the dragon fang was extremely round and lustrous, with blue airflow spinning around it. Upon closer inspection, one could see the phantom of a small dragon wandering around. Subtle dragon cries slowly spread through the vibration of the air, causing the souls of some weaker individuals to tremble involuntarily under this might.
She paused, glanced at the people holding their breath, and then continued with a smile, “The ghost of that bone dragon, I tried—it’s a Half-King level combat power. Think about it, if you are in the wild and can’t defeat monsters, but with this on you, you are completely able to fight to the death.”
This thing was completely useless to her, whose external qi was tens of times that of ordinary people. At its peak, it was only that much, otherwise she wouldn’t be selling it. But others didn’t think so. Even the deans who were just calm and collected suddenly widened their eyes, and then stared at Su Jiu intently.
This was not an ordinary Initial Stage Battle King level alchemical item. The dragon attribute was secondary, and the ability to boost external qi was terrifying. It was probably only possible to make such an item with various top-tier raw materials.
If an Initial Stage Battle King obtained such a necklace, they might be able to counter-kill a not-so-stable Intermediate Battle King. If this item had no level restrictions,
“Starting price—15 Intermediate Magic Crystals. Bids must not be lower than 5 Intermediate Magic Crystals. Unlike ordinary goods, you senior students and teachers are allowed to purchase them.”
The entire square fell into a dead silence amidst Su Jiu’s smiling voice. All that could be heard were each other’s heavy breaths. Almost as soon as she finished speaking, an ancient voice suddenly sounded, as if with a hint of tremor:
“20 Intermediate Magic Crystals, give this old man some face.”
Then everyone turned their heads to look. It was an old man wearing a white cloud robe. Judging by his attire, his identity was obviously not low. He was clearly a vice president of another academy.
As soon as she heard the voice, Su Jiu’s lips also began to curl upwards.
This was precisely Su Jiu’s consideration. Selling items of this level to students, but when those who were restricted from purchasing were suddenly allowed to buy, their purchasing power would definitely increase exponentially.
“25 Intermediate Magic Crystals.”
“Old Man Chen, this thing isn’t very suitable for you who live a comfortable life. Why don’t you let me have it, hahaha!” Another voice sounded, it was the old man in the fiery red clothes from before.
Since Su Jiu didn’t have restrictions, he naturally had to join in, but it was obvious that he was also a little nervous. These 25 Intermediate Magic Crystals were probably all he had.
“Dean, this thing is useless to you, an old man. Why don’t you let it go to a student—30 Intermediate Magic Crystals.” Hu Ling couldn’t care about anything else and immediately raised her arm and shouted, while inwardly cursing, Damn it, sure enough, products from con artists are always well-made!
…
The price kept rising, and the atmosphere in the square remained in excited shouts without a moment’s pause. Beneath the rapidly soaring sky-high price, more people turned their attention to the limited-purchase goods and paid for them one after another.
“E Huo” acted as the cashier, and the small figure darted in and out of the crowd. When lucky, he would even get snacks from senior students. He stuffed snacks into his mouth while collecting money, and the small figure was very busy.
Looking at the leeks who were paying and taking their goods one by one, Old Farmer Su showed a gratified smile. Although it was below market price, it was very profitable to sell it in a short period of time and turn it into convertible value.
Moreover, Bai Zhi seemed to be in dire need of these magic crystals. After receiving the money and magic crystals, she would go to the Yue Nan region to check on the situation there.
The rapidly increasing price, after nearly ten minutes of competition, finally began to conclude.
By this time, the price had been bid up to 65 Intermediate Magic Crystals by Su Jiu’s “Number One Fan Sprite Fierce Japanese Owl Rinse Jiusan Silk”—Hu Ling, who had clearly gone completely bonkers, causing even the deans to temporarily avoid her edge, as the Hu family was indeed wealthy and powerful.
65 Intermediate Magic Crystals could even hire several Battle King level thugs for a year. However, for a direct descendant like Hu Ling, personal strength was definitely more important.
Half a minute passed, and after Su Jiu’s repeated inquiries, no one was competing anymore. She handed it to Hu Ling very carefully with the smile of an old farmer caring for leeks. After Hu Ling accepted it with a twitch of her mouth, her personal auction process also ended.
“Fortunately, I didn’t leave. If Uncle Yan hadn’t given me that technique for free back then, I would have drowned in the sea.”
Su Jiu’s gaze drifted towards where the deans were gathered, chuckled, and melted into the crowd, her figure swimming like a fish.
…
On a stone bench for people to rest, several deans and vice presidents sat in a circle, looking at Zi Chen standing above the “Flea Market”. Someone sighed, “Director Zi, you’ve finally taken in a powerful disciple. I heard she’s the one who won the world championship for our school.”
Then that person paused again and looked at the old man in the fiery red robe and Vice President Yan with a hint of teasing, and said with a smile, “I heard that Old Man Huo regrets not competing for students back then?”
“What’s the use of competing? Would they choose you?”
The old man in the fiery red robe snorted and said no more, looking at the stage with some envy. At their age, there were few things they cared about, but having outstanding students was one of them.
Then, his gaze flickered to the young man with gold-rimmed glasses beside him, and he said indifferently, “Isn’t Young Yan competing? He even threw in a book he researched himself, and people don’t even look at him now.”
Hearing this, that person chuckled, and then turned his head to look at the cold ice-like Vice President Yan beside him. Seeing that he didn’t speak, he teased, “Old Yan, I know you appreciate geniuses, but people ignore you, and you even threw in a copy of ‘Ice Manipulation Art’. Is it worth it?”
The latter glanced at him, as cold as his attribute, and replied indifferently, “I’m willing.”
“Young Yan, it’s nothing more than thinking that student can pass on his Ice Manipulation Art, but without the second attribute to melt the ice, how easy is it to learn this skill? Perhaps, the person will put the skill in his storage bag and let it gather dust.”
Old Man Huo and Vice President Yan had been rivals for many years, so they naturally knew his thoughts. He then rolled his eyes dismissively and teased him.
Vice President Yan couldn’t help but sigh slightly, but his face remained as cold and frosty as ever…
“Dean Yan! Long time no see.”
Getting this answer, the person felt bored and was about to get up when a female voice suddenly sounded behind him. Although the environment was very noisy, it sounded exceptionally clear.
