Chapter 1632: Flawed Item

"Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid," Han Li had naturally heard of this name, and had even been thinking about it for quite some time. 【Web】

This liquid was one of the main materials Qing Tian Yuanzi had asked him to collect, and it was a necessary item for refining several kinds of Body Integration stage medicinal pills. It is said that taking one drop of this spirit liquid alone can save a year of bitter cultivation.

Thus, its value can be imagined.

Moreover, this thing is not produced by stone or wood, but is refined from a rare kind of extraterrestrial fire. Its quantity is even harder to find and rarer than other spirit items of the same rank.

After Han Li read the relevant reference materials, he felt that it was the most impossible to collect among Qing Tian Yuanzi's many materials.

But now, this fire liquid actually appeared at this auction, and the starting price was low to an unbelievable degree.

You must know that with the rarity of Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid, it would be more than enough to serve as a finale auction item.

Eighteen million is not a small amount, but relative to the value of this spirit liquid, it was naturally unbelievably cheap.

Han Li's thoughts turned rapidly, and he felt that Xiao Buyi would definitely explain this strange price later.

In the auction hall, Han Li was not the only one with this thought. Many people's expressions were uncertain while others were surprised.

Sure enough, Xiao Buyi saw the reaction of the people on the stage, smiled, and then said:

"I know the starting price of Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid has surprised many fellow daoists. But there is a reason for such a low price. Although this fire liquid is also refined from extraterrestrial fire, some flaws appeared during the refining process, and compared to the real finished product, there is a slight defect. But one thing, Xiao can guarantee. The several main functions of normal Glazed Fire Liquid are all present in this liquid. It is just greatly weakened."

"A flawed item!" The originally bustling crowd became silent.

Many people furrowed their brows!

There have been examples of auctioning flawed spirit medicines or even magic treasures at auctions before.

But every item auctioned back is said to be not very easy to use and cannot be compared with the genuine product. After all, whether it is refining medicine or refining tools, the requirements for the dosage and performance of materials are extremely strict. A slight error or difference is very likely to cause the failure of the refining of medicinal pills and objects.

Many people who were originally excited were splashed with cold water and became rational.

"Even a flawed item is marked at eighteen million; originally I thought it was too low. But now it seems it is actually much higher." Still the unidentified man on the third level sneered.

"Fellow Daoist Lie, if you really have no intention of buying this fire liquid, why care about the price? But with your Flame Spirit Body, Fellow Daoist, this Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid should be just right for you, right?" Xiao Buyi stared at a certain room on the third level and asked back with a soft but firm voice.

"If it were a genuine product, Lie would naturally be determined to get it. As a flawed item, its effect on me is negligible. What use do I have for it." The man surnamed Lie replied bluntly.

But this time, Xiao Buyi smiled and did not interject, but suddenly flicked his sleeve and shook the bottle cap in his hand.

Cyan light flashed, and the bottle cap flew into the sky.

With a "puchi" sound, a crimson light pillar shot out from the bottle mouth, and a small ball of red liquid slowly flew out from the bottle along with the light pillar.

Crystalline and transparent, red light shimmering!

Xiao Buyi's gaze froze, he shook one hand, white light flashed, and a flying sword over a foot long appeared in his hand.

Cold light shimmering, the style was ancient and simple, and one look told you the grade was not low.

Xiao Buyi flicked his wrist, and the flying sword turned into a sheet of cold light and slashed toward the red liquid ball.

A shocking scene appeared.

The moment the cold light touched the liquid ball, a puff of white gas emitted a strange "chi-la" sound, and the entire flying sword dissolved into red, vanishing into thin air after just a few flashes.

This liquid ball actually had such terrifying power!

"Fellow daoists, you have all seen it clearly. Although these heavenly fire liquids have flaws, their nature of melting gold and stone remains. They are also of great use for refining medicine and tools." Xiao Buyi saw the hesitation of the people present and explained.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man opened his mouth and spat out a ball of cyan spiritual energy, enveloping the fire liquid.

After a low, muffled sound of "rumbling," the fire liquid seemed to be reborn like a fire phoenix, burning fiercely and turning into a fire ball the size of a human head.

A burst of heat radiated from the high platform and rolled toward the distance.

For a time, the entire hall was placed in a high-temperature environment, and the aliens closest to the high platform even felt as if they were in a sea of fire and lava.

Everyone in the hall had great divine abilities and naturally would not be affected by this little heat, but many people's expressions changed again!

Those present naturally could see it. Xiao Buyi had just used a ball of his pure spiritual energy to induce this wave of fire, and the strange phenomena that erupted now were all manifestations of the power of the fire liquid itself.

The flawed Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid also had such great power, which was truly beyond the expectations of most people.

The originally quiet hall was once again filled with low whispers, and many people's gazes toward the fire liquid became hot again.

Xiao Buyi knew that his goal had been achieved, so he flicked his sleeve again.

After a sheet of rosy light rolled over, the scorching flames extinguished, and the fire liquid that was revealed again flashed and disappeared into the bottle mouth.

Xiao Buyi grabbed and released through the void, and the bottle cap fell and closed again. The bottle itself fell into his palm.

"The bidding for the next Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid begins!" The middle-aged man announced without hesitation.

"Thirty million!" An astonishing price came from a corner of the hall, surprisingly pushing the starting price up by nearly half.

Many people who originally wanted to bid were startled and couldn't help but look over.

The bidder was actually a pale-faced man wearing a pitch-black robe.

It was Han Li!

Seeing that it was a stranger, many local aliens in Cloud City muttered in their hearts, but still gave up the idea of bidding.

Although this flawed heavenly fire liquid was still quite rare, a flawed item is a flawed item, and raising the price to such a high level made them feel that the gain was not worth the loss.

And Han Li sat in place without moving, seemingly calm, but there was a hint of excitement in his heart.

Although this fire liquid had flaws and its performance was greatly reduced, it was still Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid, which was likely useful to Qing Tian Yuanzi. And if he let go of this opportunity, there would basically be no hope of getting a genuine Glazed Heavenly Fire Liquid in the future, so even if it was a flawed item, he was determined to get it.

Therefore, Han Li did not stand on ceremony and raised the price so high from the beginning.

He didn't expect to easily auction this item. But at least he let most people give up the idea first.

He didn't want to raise the price of this spirit liquid to a level that even he couldn't accept amidst the bidding of a group of people.

Clearly, Han Li's method was indeed effective. After hearing this price, most people's expressions flashed with surprise, and then they all returned to indifference.

The entire hall became quiet.

"This fellow daoist bid thirty million, does anyone else want to bid? After asking three times, this bottle of heavenly fire liquid will belong to this fellow daoist." Xiao Buyi glanced at Han Li's location and said loudly.

"First time!"

"Thirty-two million!" Just as Xiao Buyi finished asking, another old voice bid.

Han Li heard this and furrowed his brows, glancing sideways.

The bidder was a yellow-robed old man sitting in the center of the hall, with scorched yellow hair, but thick brows and blue eyes.

"It's actually Elder Fu, why is he interested in this fire liquid?" Others saw the bidder and were surprised, whispering to each other.

It seems this old man is extremely famous in Cloud City.

"Forty million"

Before Han Li could decide on a price, another voice came from the third level. It was not the previous man surnamed Lie, but a pleasant female voice.

As soon as this price was spoken, the originally calm Elder Fu immediately looked hesitant, looked at the third level where the bid came from, moved his mouth, and finally shook his head and stopped speaking.

"Forty million, first time!"

"Forty million, second time!"

Xiao Buyi quickly called the price twice with a faint smile. Clearly, the high price had exceeded his expectations, and with the Saint Tribe on the third level taking action, he felt no one else would bid.

"Forty-five million"

Han Li called out the price again without changing his expression.

Hearing this voice, not only others in the hall, but even Xiao Buyi couldn't help but look at Han Li again, his expression becoming somewhat strange.

It is truly rare to see an Upper Tribe existence competing with the Saint Tribe at an auction.

"Forty-seven million!" The Saint Tribe woman on the third level seemed somewhat annoyed and bid again.

Han Li heard this price, his eyes twitched twice, but he called out the price of "fifty million" without hesitation.

With so many spirit stones, it was almost all the spirit stones he had left. If it were any more, even if he was reluctant, he would have to give it up.

But fortunately, the woman on the third level seemed to feel that it was not worth it to bid any higher. She just snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

"Good, fifty million spirit stones, this half bottle of heavenly fire liquid belongs to this fellow daoist. Please go to the side hall to settle the spirit stones immediately." Xiao Buyi finished asking three times and made the final decision.

Han Li felt relieved and stood up to walk toward the front stage.

Arriving at the stage, he took out a bag of top-grade spirit stones he had calculated long ago and handed it to the other party.

Xiao Buyi swept his divine sense into the bag, nodded with satisfaction, and handed the milky white small bottle to Han Li.

Han Li just opened the bottle cap and took a look, a hint of joy appeared on his face, he bowed slightly to Xiao Buyi, then walked down the stage unhurriedly and returned to his original position to sit down.

During this process, Han Li naturally sensed many gazes sweeping back and forth on him; needless to say, many of them were ill-intentioned.
