Whisperer asked, "Star River, are you really auctioning off your first batch of Life Secret Elixirs?"
Han Xing replied, "Yes, highest bid wins."
"Alright, name your price. We, the Divine Whisper, are determined to win this fifth-place reward!"
After speaking, Whisperer added in the chat channel, "I ask everyone to give me some face, please don't compete with me for the first batch of Life Secret Elixirs."
Normally, as the leader of one of the three major teams in District 107, Whisperer would be given face by everyone.
But now, since it involved leaderboard rewards and such an important item as the Life Secret Elixir, no one would easily give up.
At this time, the usually low-key leader of the Plane Boy Group, Papaya Star Spirit, also spoke up, "Brother Whisper, everyone wants this fifth-place reward, let's stick to Star River's rule: highest bidder wins."
His words were essentially a way to undermine Whisperer.
Whisperer gave a cold snort.
At this moment, Han Xing spoke again, "Then let's start the auction now."
"First batch, 5 bottles of Life Secret Elixir, starting bid is 1000 Spirit Cores; you can also offer other items to raise the bid, the final winner will be decided based on value."
Starting with 5 bottles, the amount of Life Secret Elixirs is equivalent to several extra lives, enough to wear down an Elite Monster.
After speaking, surviving contenders who felt they had the capability to climb the ranks began bidding furiously.
"1500 Spirit Cores, plus a Green Equipment Necklace!"
"1800 Spirit Cores, plus 64 pieces of Mithril!"
"2200 Spirit Cores..."
Meanwhile, both Whisperer and Papaya Star Spirit were frantically gathering resources within their own discussion groups.
After a round of exaggerated bidding, the final offer reached 4000 Spirit Cores, plus a large amount of Mithril and other materials.
Compared to a piece of Blue Weapon, they felt this price was still bearable, and besides the weapon, there was an Advanced Profession Scroll, so it wouldn't be a loss.
Just then, Whisperer suddenly spoke up, "5000 Spirit Cores, 107 pieces of Mithril, 13000 Refined Iron, plus a Blue Plate Armor Shirt."
After Whisperer spoke, the chat channel was filled with a collective intake of breath.
This offer scared off many potential competitors.
Whisperer offered up Blue Equipment, partly for the ranking reward, and partly because of his critical injuries, urgently needing Life Secret Elixirs to heal.
However, at this point, Papaya Star Spirit also announced his price, "5500 Spirit Cores, 132 pieces of Mithril, 14000 Refined Iron, plus a Blue Necklace."
"Gasp..."
Another wave of gasps swept through the chat channel.
Whisperer remained silent, seemingly contemplating whether it's worth further raising the price and if it could be recouped.
Just then, Han Xing suddenly chuckled and said, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to remind you, after defeating this Elite Monster, there's a good chance of obtaining valuable items, and even the Secret Medicine Formula has a high probability of dropping."
As soon as the word fell, Papaya Star Spirit, who thought he had it in the bag, suddenly felt a wave of anxiety wash over him.
The mention of the Secret Medicine Formula was enough to rekindle interest in those who had given up.
Someone cautiously asked, "Star God, do you mean your Life Secret Elixir Formula was also found on an Elite Monster?"
Han Xing smiled but didn't directly answer the question.
However, the survivors tacitly accepted this explanation in their minds.
Meanwhile, Whisperer gritted his teeth and spoke once more, "6000 Spirit Cores, 140 pieces of Mithril, 15000 Refined Iron, plus 1 Basic Castle Design Map!"
He had gone all out, even bringing out the design map he stumbled upon on a Mysterious Sky Island!
Han Xing's eyes lit up, a castle design map sounded like architectural blueprints.
No one had heard of anyone constructing territorial buildings yet.
If no higher offer was made, this first batch of 5 bottles of Life Secret Elixir would go to Whisperer.
Papaya Star Spirit was very conflicted at this moment, but he also considered whether it's worth the price for a piece of Blue Equipment.
Han Xing waited for a moment and, seeing no further bids, said, "Then, it's a deal."
Upon these words, many in the chat channel simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Xing also demonstrated his credibility, immediately initiating a trade with Whisperer right after speaking.
Trade window.
At this moment, Whisperer painfully put up a large quantity of Spirit Cores and precious Mithril.
This was practically the entire haul of the 'Divine Whisper' team over the past few days, all now thrown into this trade.
A system notification appeared.
[Trade successful, you have gained Life Secret Elixir*5, you lost Spirit Core*6000, Mithril*140, Refined Iron*15000, Basic Castle Design Map*1.]
Looking at the five green bottles of elixir on his territory, Whisperer was so overwhelmed he was nearly in tears.
His injuries had been worsening, and his personal status had turned to critical.
If not for sustaining himself with Spiritual Spring Water, Whisperer would not have lasted till this moment.
He could hardly wait to pour a bottle of Life Secret Elixir into his mouth.
The grim wound on his chest finally showed signs of improvement.
At this moment, Whisperer cried tears of joy.
"Phew... I was so close to actually dying..."
Meanwhile, Han Xing continued the auction proceedings.
Although the blue equipment slots on the leaderboard were no longer available, other rewards were still very enticing.
There were still 95 slots left, and just one Advanced Professional Reincarnation Book was enough to encourage other survivors to push themselves.
As a result, the subsequent auctions went very smoothly, with everyone enthusiastic and constantly driving up the bidding limits.
The auction lasted for nearly two hours, with Han Xing finally selling off the remaining 95 slots.
He amassed a vast amount of materials.
Just the Spirit Cores alone accounted for 73,624, with over a thousand pieces of Mithril, and materials like Refined Iron and Rare Earth totaled over 100,000.
Combined with various miscellaneous materials such as Beast Hearts, Strong Blood, Moonflower Grass, etc., his storage box was once again filled to the brim.
What he spent was merely 480 bottles of Life Secret Elixirs.
This return rate was not only tenfold but probably a hundredfold!
Moreover, over the course of two hours, many survivors stuck at the 900-point mark also broke through.
People continuously broke 1000 points, earning ranking rewards.
Half an hour later, when the 100th survivor successfully exceeded 1000 points,
Han Xing stopped the auction mode and instead stocked the Life Secret Elixirs directly.
Unlike Spiritual Spring Water, which can be traded milliliter by milliliter, Life Secret Elixirs can only be traded by whole bottles.
Han Xing set various initial prices, such as 200 Spirit Cores for 1 bottle of Life Secret Elixir, 1 piece of Mithril equals 10 Spirit Cores, a blue blueprint equals 1000 Spirit Cores, etc.
As soon as the Life Secret Elixirs were listed, it caused another frenzy.
From morning wake-up till sunset, Han Xing was madly trading with other survivors.
He remained in a state of exhilaration.
Seeing large amounts of materials flowing in, he felt an incomparable sense of satisfaction!
After all, who could resist the joy of being a hoarder?
