Lan Jue carefully flipped through the introduction of the Tear of Neptune.
From the introduction, it seemed that the Tear of Neptune was extremely effective in removing impurities.
As long as energy was injected into the Tear of Neptune, it would naturally emit a gentle glow.
Any gem placed before it would be easily purified, leaving only the purest energy of the gem, while the rest of the impurities would be completely filtered out.
It was not that there were no gems with such an ability, but they were not as thorough as the Tear of Neptune.
But the gems with the same effect were only B-grade!
The difference between the value of a B-grade gem and an S-grade gem was like the difference between heaven and earth.
But B-grade gems could also remove impurities by more than ninety percent.
This was also the reason why the Tear of the Sea God was relatively useless.
At the bottom of the main auction item was a final note: Tear of Neptune, the ultimate gem for those who seek perfection.
After reading the introduction, Lan Jue continued to flip through the list. There were quite a lot of gems being auctioned, and there was a wide variety of them.
From D-grade gems to Dao-grade gems, there was everything.
Of course, low-grade gems were relatively large in units.
D-grade gems, for example, were at least in units of ten kilograms.
From this, one could see just how valuable the Tear of Neptune, which was worth five thousand tons of D-grade gems, was.
"Boss, your black coffee." Lin Guo-guo brought over the coffee that Lan Jue had ordered.
The black coffee was bitter but had a rich aroma. In fact, it was not that Lan Jue did not like to add milk to his coffee, but rather that his stomach could not absorb dairy products well, and he was somewhat lactose intolerant.
Therefore, he usually only drank black coffee.
The warm black coffee was very refreshing.
Lan Jue closed the list in front of him and closed his eyes to rest.
As he finished his cup of coffee, the auction was just about to begin.
The auction hall had been temporarily remodeled from the main hall of the art gallery.
As soon as he entered, Lan Jue immediately felt many powerful energy fluctuations coming from all around him.
Glancing around, he found at least 30 Level 6 Arcanists, and 10 Arcanists with Level 7 and above Arcana Talents.
There were also two ninth-level Adepts backstage.
This was a rather powerful combination of forces.
Not to mention that there were many modern security measures at the auction site.
Because it was a temporary venue, there were only wooden chairs in the auction house. They weren't exquisite, but they were still spacious.
In a short while, the entire auction house was filled with at least a thousand people.
Lan Jue and the rest sat in the middle slightly towards the front. On his left sat Xiu Xiu and Lin Guo-guo, while on his right sat Su He and Ya Xiu.
"Junior, have you thought about what you want to film?" Su He asked with a smile.
Lan Jue nodded. "There are indeed some things that I like. Let's try them out later."
The door closed, and two metahumans quietly stood in front of it.
The lights in the arena dimmed a little.
The lights on the temporary display platform in front suddenly lit up, attracting everyone's attention.
An old man in a gray suit walked out from behind. His suit was exquisite, and his silver hair was combed back. He looked very spirited.
Not only did he not look old, but he had a simple, steady air about him, like a fine antique. The more you looked at him, the more profound he seemed.
Lan Jue's eyes flickered. He could sense that this was one of the two ninth-level Adepts he'd seen earlier.
"Greetings, distinguished guests.
It's an honor to be invited to host the annual Tear of Neptune auction.
There were old friends as well as new friends present.
I'm sure you're all familiar with our auction.
The Tear of Neptune auction is the largest auction on Planet Lir every year.
It's been twenty-seven years since it was founded.
It's been around for a long time, witnessing the growth of Planet Lir.
This year's auction would also be the most complete and most valuable auction item in all of its history.
I'm sure you won't be disappointed. "
The old man's voice was amplified through the speakers. His magnetic voice left a deep impression on everyone present.
Lan Jue turned to Su He and spoke in a low voice. "Senior, are there any requirements for participating in this auction?"
"Many," Su He replied. "Identification, a sufficient security deposit, and a good reputation with the Alliance.
There's also a background check.
Yesterday, I used my teacher's name to get these seats. That's why you can participate without a background check.
Of course, my guarantor is my teacher. "
Lan Jue smiled. "So that's how it is.
If we bid but don't trade, the Bookworm will be in trouble! "
Su He laughed. "Yeah!
Teacher would kill me.
Oh, no, turn me into a stream of data. "
"There are many items up for auction today, so I won't take up any more of your time. Now, let the auction begin.
The first ten items to be auctioned were all donated to the auction by members of the community. All proceeds from the auction would go to charity on Planet Lir.
Therefore, I hope everyone will be generous enough to contribute to the cause.
Next up is item number one, Grandmaster Haining's Blue Ocean Pearl Tearful Pearl. "
A cart was slowly pushed onto the stage. It had an ancient air to it, and was covered with a dark blue cloth.
When the cloth was removed, the item was revealed.
It was a work of art made from shells, pearls, and carvings.
The most valuable was the giant blue pearl, which was a specialty of Planet Lir.
The pearl was plump, perfectly round, and without a single flaw.
The shell was carved into the shape of a young woman. She sat atop the pearl, like Goddess Chang 'e sitting atop the blue moon.
If one looked closely, they could even see that the folds of her clothes were abnormally clear.
It was truly a masterpiece.
The auctioneer gave a brief introduction, then said, "Because this is a charity auction, we have no reserve price. Now, please place your bids."
Next to Lan Jue, Xiu Xiu signaled.
Xiu Xiu raised the number 568 plate in her hand. "One hundred thousand Eastern Alliance dollars."
Her voice was clear and melodious, but it was clear enough to be heard by the auctioneer.
The auctioneer was taken aback. Eastern Alliance dollars were very valuable. Generally speaking, an average family's monthly income was only three to five hundred Eastern Alliance dollars.
One hundred thousand Eastern Alliance dollars was far beyond the value of this work of art.
Time to ask for monthly and recommended votes.
