Degrade from Nobility to a Humble Slave novel Chapter 151

Zen was confused about the silver particles.

Curious, Zen tried to look them up in the weapon refining methods left by Evil Lan, but he got nothing about them.

Zen assumed if Evil Lan were a better weapon refiner, he would have written about it in his weapon refining methods.

In C County, Evil Lan had been regarded as a superior weapon refiner, but compared with the refiners in Imperial Capital, he was just so-so.

So many people in the auction house desired to get the heavenly essence, which got Zen further perplexed by what it was and its purpose.

Were these silver droplets really so valuable?

"23, 000 cubic crystals! I will take the heavenly essence!" An old man cried out. His hair was white, but his ruddy face gave him an energetic appearance.

"Aha, Huang! You cannot have sole ownership of these heavenly essence drops. I offer a price of 25, 000 cubic crystals!" A muffled voice came from an old man with a black face.

The old man with the ruddy face frowned and said, "Joah Yu, I shall get the heavenly essence. So don't compete with me today!"

The two men stood and glared at each other, which lent tension to the atmosphere in the auction house.

In the room, Nory said, "As to these two old men, one's surname is Huang, and the other is Yu. so one must come from the Huang Clan, and the other must be from the Yu Clan. Both clans enjoy a high reputation in Imperial Capital as they are listed among the seven prestigious noble clans. Since they are both determined to buy the heavenly essence, you can expect the final price to be unrealistically high."

Money wasn't a problem for any member of the top seven noble clans.

The two old men seemed to be venerable with high prestige in the noble clans. Thus, they could scramble for the heavenly essence at any cost if they really wanted to do so.

However, although the Huang Clan and the Yu Clan were prominent, other more powerful clans were also present at the auction.

Apart from these two old men, many people were unwilling to give up the opportunity to acquire the heavenly essence.

At that time, Zen gaped at the auction block.

"What is the heavenly essence? Why is it so valuable? Why do so many people want to get it?" Zen asked.

Nory laughed and said, "I have often considered that you were knowledgeable enough to know everything. But now, you seem somewhat ignorant as you don't know what heavenly essence is!"

Zen shook his head. Although he had read some books on weapon refining, he had never come across any mention of heavenly essence. The first time that he saw it was when the black fire in his head refined the weapon.

To show off his knowledge, Nory cleared his throat and said, "Several years ago, some people discovered heavenly essence. But do you know how weapon refiners can make mysterious weapons, spiritual weapons, and even fairy weapons? That is because when they are refining, they put some heavenly essence into the weapons. In other words, the more powerful the weapon is, the more heavenly essence it contains!"

So that was it.......?

Zen seemed to understand.

The iron essence Zen had swallowed could be related to heavenly essence.

The scales of the cyan dragon mold in his head could be brightened as soon as he swallowed the heavenly essence.

There were 5 to 6 droplets of heavenly essence in a good quality mysterious weapon. So to some extent, heavenly essence shouldn't be so valuable. Why did such a little bottle of heavenly essence cost tens of thousands of cubic crystals? What was more, the final price of the transaction seemed to be much higher!

Zen questioned.

Nory smiled and said, "Yes, it's true. Normally, all known weapons and even the low-grade ones contain heavenly essence. But no one can extract heavenly essence from any weapon. People have tried all sorts of ways including burning and breaking weapons down. And that is why, once heavenly essence appears, several people will clamor to buy it. And that's why the price goes higher and higher......."

"Since no one can extract it, how come it is here at the auction?" Zen asked, pointing at the heavenly essence in Nestor's hand.

Nory shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. Perhaps some people are lucky enough to find heavenly essence by chance!"

As Zen learned more about heavenly essence from Nory, the price of the heavenly essence at the auction soared!

The basic price had been 20, 000 cubic crystals. However, it had now risen to 80, 000!

More than 100, 000 cubic crystals was a significant spend even for a big noble clan.

However, the two old men showed no intention of stopping. Instead, they became more determined to bid for the heavenly essence. Furthermore, other people tried to bid with them now and then.
