219- Body Strengthening Pills

“Welcome everyone to the yearly auction of our Golden Cloud Chamber of Commerce’s branch in the town of Chans.”

“I announce that the Auction begins.”

The young woman looked about 20 to 22 years old, with milky white skin and good body proportions.

It looked like that she applied very little makeup, so she has a natural fair complexion and she is also natural beauty.

Most of the people sitting in the hall, had their eyes glued to that young woman. Their eyes were filled with greed and lust.

Her clothes were appealing but also dignified.

She looked at everyone in the auction hall with a smile. She was aware of the various thoughts running in the minds of the majority of people attending the auction, so instead of any fear she was very happy with the attention she was receiving from the people because it means that her charm will bring higher bids in the auction and her commission amount will certainly be more than what she would get.

The young woman introduced herself,

“Hello everyone, I am sure that most of you know my name, but for the people who are attending this auction for the first time, I would like to introduce myself.”

“My name is Liza Dohm. And I will be the host for today’s auction.”

Then she continued,

“Before I introduce the first item of our auction, I would like to announce the rules and regulations to everyone attending the auction.”

“The currency used for bidding is Gold Coins and those above. Any currency below gold coins, like silver coins and bronze coins, will not be accepted when bidding.”

“Next, if any customer bids with [Low grade energy stones], then please note that we follow the conversion rate of 1:1.1. This means, 1 Low grade energy stone is equal to 1100 gold coins.”

Most of the people attending this auction are those people who have attended this auction more than once, so they are aware of all the rules and regulations of the auction.

So, when they heard about the conversion rate of Low grade energy stones to gold coins, they were not shocked, instead, they acted as if it was a known fact.

In the huge group of people, there were some bold people who couldn’t help but laugh loudly and start commenting.

“Miss Liza, you must be joking right? Who Is so stupid to exchange Low grade energy stones for gold coins? Here people are struggling to get Low grade energy stones for cultivation, so how can they use them for buying things.”

“Yes, this brother said right. Low grade energy stones are a major resource for cultivation, I don’t think anyone will take them out to buy something.”

“Yes, if there was someone that rich, then they wouldn’t visit a small place like the town of Chans.”

“Yes, every major power in the Windy Country, holds Low grade energy stones as precious resources, so it's as rare as Pheonix feather to see someone trading Low grade energy stones for buying something.”

“Hahaha... if there is any brother willing to change their Low grade energy stones for gold coins, then you can also contact me.”

“Hahaha”

.

The words spoken by these people do hold some truth.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in the places like Windy Country is very low, so the formation of Energy stones mines is very rare.

The number of Energy stone mines found in the Windy country does not even reach double digits.

So, the availability of cultivation resources is very low, and one must know that after the Refinement stage that is from the Evolver stage, if one wants to reach higher stages of cultivation, then Low grade Energy stones is important, or else the speed of cultivation will decrease drastically or may even stop at the Peak of Refinement stage.

So, due to the lack of Low grade Energy mines, the majority of cultivators are stuck in the Refinement stage. And as the cultivation level increases, the number of cultivators with higher cultivation decreases. That is: if in a region, there are 1000 refinement stage cultivators, then in the same region, there would be less than 100 Evolver stage cultivators. And similarly, there would be less than 10 Demi-Human stage cultivators in the same region. As for a Human stage cultivator, it is a very rare thing.

Hence, in the Windy Country, the majority of people who cultivate, have cultivation in or below the Refinement stage. And the number of cultivators decreases in further stages like Evolver stage, Demi-Human stage and so on...

People who walk on the path of cultivation, are those who pursue Power, Longevity, Wealth, etc.

So, when they lack resources for cultivation, they go to extreme measures to get them.

And taking advantage of this situation, few organizations with rich resources and backgrounds started exchanging Low grade energy stones for gold coins.

It is a known fact that 1 Low grade energy stone is worth 1000 gold coins.

But in a place or country like the Windy country, where finding a Low grade energy stone is rare, the worth of 1 Low grade energy stone is more than 1000 gold coins.

So, 1 low grade energy stone can be exchanged for 1100 to 1300 gold coins, and people due to their needs, reluctantly pay such a price to get Low grade energy stones. And if they want to get it for the standard price, then they need to travel to places where the supply of Low grade energy stones is abundant.

Traveling is not a problem for many but due to various reasons like: time, the threat of robbery, etc., many don’t consider traveling far as a wise choice.

And Golden Cloud Chamber of commerce, is also a place where one can get Low grade energy stones at a conversion rate of 1:1.1, ie. 1 low grade energy stone for 1100 gold coins.

Of course, this conversion rate often fluctuates and it may even reach a ratio of 1:1.2 or more...

.

Listening to everyone’s talk, Liza Dohm’s face still maintained a smile like a professional salesperson. she said,

“Everyone please quiet down. I know that not many are willing to use Low grade energy stones as a source of transaction, but it is my duty to announce these details. So, I request that everyone maintain silence and let me do my duty.”

After that, she announced few more points of information.

Clap Clap

Then she clapped her hands and continued,

“Now, let me introduce to you the first item for our yearly auction.”

As soon as she finished speaking, few servants walked onto the stage with trays in their hands. On the trays, a few pills storing bottles were placed.

After every servant who was holding a tray in their hands, stood behind her, Liza Dohm continued,

“The first item is a set of Body Strengthening Pills.”

She picked up a pill bottle and poured out a pill from it.

In her hand, a brown pill appeared as she introduced the pill,

“I know that everyone here is knowledgeable about the Body Strengthening pill, but please let me still speak a few words about it.”

“Body Strengthening Pill, as its name suggests, is a pill used by cultivators to increase their strength and make their body stronger.”
