"The people from the three great peak families and the seven major noble families are here. I think representatives from the Alchemist Association and the top ten trading companies too. That thing definitely won't be ours!"
"But even if it's not, it's still great to witness such a grand event!"
People in the auction hall were buzzing with discussion.
"Could everyone please quiet down a little!" The young female auctioneer smiled gently. "We are about to present that rare treasure to you all!"
The auction hall instantly fell silent.
Two beautiful maids walked up carrying a tray. On the tray sat something covered by a purple cloth, with only a vague outline visible.
"What on earth is it?"
"It's killing me with suspense!"
At this moment, the young auctioneer revealed a charming smile. With a pull of her right hand, she whipped away the purple cloth. In an instant, brilliant light burst forth, and a black jade pot made of unknown material appeared before everyone. The pot was translucent and crystalline throughout, with streaks of dazzling, moving treasure light shining from its surface.
Rich waves of Soul Power spread outwards.
Seeing this crystal-clear black jade pot,
"Even our clan head isn't entirely clear on its origins or uses," the young auctioneer explained. "But one thing is certain: the pure Soul Power fluctuations emanating from it prove this is no ordinary item. The words 'Nightmare Demon' are carved on its base, so it must be related to a Nightmare Demon Spirit!"
She continued, "Furthermore, according to our clan head, cultivating Demon Spirits in its vicinity can greatly strengthen their aura. Therefore, we can confirm this is definitely a rare treasure. Our clan head hopes someone with true insight can bring out its full potential!"
"The starting price for this item is: eight million Demon Spirit Coins!"
The head of the Red Moon Family didn't know the black jade pot's true function, which was why he had set such a low price. If he knew its real uses, he probably wouldn't be selling it at all. Just the ability to strengthen a Demon Spirit's aura simply by being near it was already incredibly valuable, let alone its many other undiscovered functions!
The representatives from the various families sensed the rich Soul Power in the air and felt their hearts stir with interest toward the black jade pot.
"What exactly is this black jade pot?"
"I don't know, but one thing's for sure—it's absolutely not simple!"
"How rare! I'd love to study it; maybe it has some unique and wondrous uses."
Looking at the black jade pot before him, Nie Li's expression grew distant and contemplative. This black jade pot should be the legendary rare treasure, the
Even Nie Li only knew one of the Nightmare Demon Pot's functions: refining Demon Spirits!
The general process was to place ten different Demon Spirits inside the Nightmare Demon Pot, with a chance that a unique and more powerful Demon Spirit would be born. If you were lucky, obtaining a rare Demon Spirit was possible. If you were unlucky, it might fail, and all the Demon Spirits would be obliterated.
The probability of failure was relatively small, just as the chance of refining a rare Demon Spirit was also small. Most of the time, the Nightmare Demon Pot could refine a significantly strengthened Demon Spirit. Just this one function was enough to make countless people go crazy for it, after all, most Demon Spirit Masters could only fuse with a single Demon Spirit! They naturally wanted that one spirit to be as powerful as possible!
Using weak Demon Spirits to fuse into a powerful one—that was the Nightmare Demon Pot!
Nie Li guessed that hardly anyone currently knew the Nightmare Demon Pot's functions.
Thinking of the Nightmare Demon Pot's formidable power, Nie Li decided almost instantly: no matter the cost, he had to win it at this auction!
