Later, Gray discovered that what was even more embarrassing was that he actually lived next door to the two women. He met the two women after returning from traveling several times.
The girl in the yellow dress would snort coldly every time she met him, obviously she had a lot of resentment towards him.
Although the woman in the white dress would not be like this, the look she looked at him was obviously cold, clearly classifying him as "difficult to make friends with".
As for the attitude of the two people, after Gray got over the initial embarrassment, he didn't care anymore.
After all, he did have a reason for rejecting the two of them, and besides, he had no intention of having a further relationship with them.
A few days later in the evening, the auction was about to begin, and Gray took a carriage to the auction house.
Since he was not a noble from the Marquis of Tourt, he naturally did not enjoy special treatment. Gray sat in an ordinary seat on the first floor, waiting for the auction to begin.
After waiting for about half an hour, an old man walked onto the auction stage.
"Thank you all for participating in this auction, the auction will now officially begin."
The old man coughed lightly and then announced the start of the auction.
"Today's first auction item is Blue Tears, an earring made by Master Kanger who spent several years of hard work. The starting price is 100 gold coins. Each increase in price must not be less than ten gold coins. The bidding starts now."
"150 gold coins."
"200 gold coins."
"250 gold coins."
…
In the end, the lot was bought by a noble lady for 1,300 gold coins.
"The second auction item is a rune fan made by rune master Qiao Na. It can continuously rotate to generate cool breeze. The starting price is 200 gold coins. Each increase in price must not be less than ten gold coins. The bidding starts now."
"250 gold coins."
"300 gold coins."
"400 gold coins."
…
In the end, the rune fan was bought for 2,000 gold coins.
"The third lot..."
"The fourth lot..."
…
Gray quietly listened to the bidding at the auction venue and did not participate in the auction.
The auction held in Tourt City was of a significantly higher standard than the Ford Auction House auction he had attended.
If the Ford Auction House auction is a low-end auction, then what is going on now is a high-end auction.
Gray was not surprised. Since the blood essence of the barbarian blood beast Storm Wolf would appear in the auction, the quality of this auction would not be low.
And Gray estimated that there were probably not a few nobles from other territories like him, or children of nobles, on the first floor of the auction.
Because even with the final transaction price of several thousand gold coins, there were many bids on the first floor.
"Lot 15..."
"Lot 21."
"Lot 26."
"Lot 30."
On the auction stage, there was a bronze bottle more than ten centimeters high on the tray. The old man, the auctioneer, said.
"Ten copies of the blood of the crazy-level blood beast Ice Tiger. The starting price is 1,000 gold coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 100 gold coins. The bidding starts now."
"Is it the Ice Tiger? Forget it, his ability can only be considered average."
Gray thought for a while and finally gave up on bidding for the Ice Tiger's blood.
Ice Tiger, a mad-level blood beast in the Cold Tiger sequence, is an upgraded version of the Cold Tiger in terms of ability.
If there is no jade lizard blood, he doesn't mind buying it and taking it. In this case, after his strength reaches the mad level, the blood beast's ability will have stronger ice properties.
As for the cold tiger's ice properties that it originally possessed in its body, it has been developed to its limit. After all, the cold tiger is just a vicious blood beast.
If you don't take higher-level Ice Tiger blood, even if your strength reaches that of a Berserker, your ice properties will probably not be enhanced.
But after getting the Jade Lizard, he started to look down on it.
The Ice Tiger's ice ability can only be considered average among mad-level blood beasts. Even if you want to enhance the ice characteristics of the blood beast's ability after reaching the mad level, you should also look for the kind of ice ability that is better among the same level. Extremely powerful blood of the blood beast.
"1,200 gold coins."
"1500 gold coins."
"2,000 gold coins."
…
Gray gave up, but many people participated in the bidding.
Generally speaking, the higher the level of blood beast blood, the greater the improvement in strength will be after taking it.
Even if what you practice is not the cold tiger sequence blood method, as long as the ability of the blood method you practice is biased towards the ice type, there will be a good improvement.
As for why these people don't buy or bid for the blood of the blood beast with the same sequence as their own, it's not that they don't want to, but it's very difficult to encounter them.
Like when Gray entered the Red Leaf Forest this time, he originally wanted to hunt down the Storm Wolf and use the Blood of the Storm Wolf to assist him in his cultivation, but he didn't meet him.
The same is true for those hunting teams that go into the forest to hunt blood beasts. Under normal circumstances, what kind of blood beasts they can hunt depends entirely on luck.
As for why the Fergus family was able to buy wind wolf blood and storm wolf blood essence from the Sidney family before, it was because the Sidney family had a special hunting team and stored the inventory after long-term hunting.
In the end, the blood of the very cold ice tiger was bought for 5,300 gold coins.
The auction continues.
"The 32nd lot, ten copies of the blood of the mad-level blood beast Thorn Monkey..."
…
"The 34th lot, ten copies of the blood of the mad-level blood beast Vortex Turtle Blood Beast..."
…
"The 36th lot, ten copies of the blood of the mad-level blood beast Mad Blade Mantis..."
"The 40th lot, ten copies of the blood of barbarian-level blood beasts and barbarian bulls..."
…
In the final auction, whenever he heard that the auction items were the blood of blood beasts, Gray would listen carefully, but after listening, he gave up.
It's not that he doesn't understand the types of blood of these blood beasts. For some rare blood, the auctioneer will explain the abilities of the corresponding blood beasts. He makes his judgment after listening to it.
"Lot 42."
On the auction table tray, a light blue metal arm appeared in front of everyone. The arm was covered with rune patterns, exquisite and beautiful.
"The rune arm made by Norris Rune Master will automatically activate when in danger."
"After activation, it can withstand a hundred attacks from ferocious blood warriors and ten attacks from mad blood warriors. The starting price is 10,000 gold coins, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 gold coins. The auction begins now."
"13,000 gold coins."
"15,000 gold coins."
"17,000 gold coins."
… …
After listening to the auctioneer's introduction, the bidding sound started to ring out. Even Gray couldn't help but feel excited.
Even though it can only withstand ten attacks from the Mad Blood Warriors, at critical moments, it is the only way to save one's life.
When facing a mad warrior, don't say it ten times, even once or twice, it is still good.
Maybe just because of these two resistances, support will arrive in time and you can save your life.
This is especially true for people like Gray who can command mad-level blood beasts that are stronger than themselves.
Ten times of protection was enough for him to mobilize the mad-level blood beasts to come for support.
"It must be photographed."
Thinking of this, Gray immediately called out the price.
"40,000 gold coins."
"45,000 gold coins."
"47,000 gold coins."
…
However, his offer was quickly drowned out by other offers. Obviously everyone wanted a life-saving means.
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
"One hundred and three thousand gold coins."
…
Fortunately, when the price exceeds 100,000, the quotations become sparse.
"One hundred and fifty thousand gold coins."
Gray made the offer without any hesitation.
The annual tax revenue of a Viscount family is only about 10,000 gold coins. It takes a Viscount family at least 20 years to accumulate 100,000 gold coins. Obviously, this price is very expensive.
But money is not as valuable as life. In addition, this thing is extremely useful to him, so he will take pictures of it no matter what.
Now he was lucky to have brought an extra 500,000 gold coins, otherwise he would have missed this good thing.
"110,000 gold coins."
In the auction hall on the first floor, a man gritted his teeth and said the price.
"One hundred and fifteen thousand gold coins."
Gray continued to raise prices.
"One hundred and twenty thousand gold coins."
The man gritted his teeth tighter.
"Twenty-five thousand gold coins."
Gray didn't hesitate to raise the price.
By this time, only Gray and the man were still participating in the bidding in the auction venue.
"It's that guy!"
In a VIP room on the second floor of the auction house, a girl in a yellow dress and a woman in a white dress were sitting in one. When Gray and another man were the only ones left to bid, the girl in the yellow dress immediately noticed Gray.
"I can't tell this guy is quite rich."
The girl in the yellow skirt pouted her lips.
The offer of more than 100,000 yuan must be taken seriously even with her family background, but judging from Gray's appearance, there was almost no hesitation. It was obvious that Gray's wealth definitely exceeded this.
She rolled her eyes, then looked at the woman in the white dress flatteringly.
"Sister, it looks like this guy is determined to win the match. Do you want us to-"
She was still brooding over the fact that Gray had not allowed them to ride in the carriage.
"no."
The woman in the white dress interrupted the girl in the yellow dress.
She knew the girl in the yellow dress too well, so before the girl in the yellow dress finished speaking, she immediately understood the price the girl in the yellow dress wanted to raise her arms and wrists, causing Gray to suffer a hidden loss.
Although she did "dislike" Gray, she was unwilling to do so, because once she did so, it would almost be certain to become enemies with him. Although they were not afraid of him based on their family background, they were not willing to add enemies for nothing.
"140,000 gold coins."
"150,000 gold coins."
In the end, Gray bought the arm for 150,000 gold coins.
The auction continues.
"Lot 45."
…
"Lot 47."
…
Although the subsequent auction items were also quite good, they had not reached the point where Gray had to bid at all costs. In addition, he did not participate in the auction because he did not know how high the price of the Storm Wolf blood essence would be.
Finally, an exquisite bronze vial appeared on the auction block.
After the auctioneer glanced around, he smiled slightly and said.
"The 49th lot is the blood essence of the barbaric blood beast Storm Wolf. The starting price is 100,000 gold coins. Each increase in price must not be less than 10,000 gold coins. The bidding starts now."
