The Genius Mage

Even the auctioneer, Mr. Mack, was shocked when he heard the shocking price.

Such a high price was completely beyond his imagination. He had estimated that 300,000 gold coins were the limit for this bottle of alchemy potion.

After all, no matter how precious a level-10 alchemy potion was, it was only a Tier 1 alchemy potion.

A Tier 1 alchemy potion was only useful to level 0-10 cultivators. Its value was definitely far less than a level 20 alchemy potion.

However, as the official auction house, the higher the price, the happier he would be.

With the sky-high price of 500,000 gold coins, just the commission was enough for the Lisi Chamber of Commerce to get 50,000 gold coins.

Moreover, the direct profit was secondary. The subsequent impact would bring more benefits to their Chamber of Commerce.

After all, in all the auctions in Spark City, only the Lisi auction had ever achieved the sky-high price of 500,000 gold coins for a bottle of Tier 1 alchemy potion.

Just this reputation alone could make many auction owners come to the Lisi auction in the future.

…

“Is this the bottle of level-10 alchemy potion?”

In a VIP room of the auction, a young man held the bottle of alchemy potion that had just been auctioned and carefully observed it in front of his eyes.

His hands were gorgeous. Each of them was slender and delicate, as white as jade.

Under the reflection of the glass bottle, his fingers looked like a dream.

This was a hand that would make a woman jealous.

The young man hid in the dark shadows. When the surrounding light shot over, it seemed like it would deliberately avoid him. Instead, it refracted all the way around, not daring to land on that man.

Because of this, the area within three meters of that man was extremely dark.

An old man dressed as a servant slightly hunched his body and respectfully said, “Master.”

“Master, I just checked. This is indeed a level-10 alchemy potion. Moreover, the materials used to refine this potion are extremely simple. Almost all of them are the most basic ordinary materials. You can buy them in any shop.

“Using such simple materials, you can refine a perfect level-10 potion. The person who refined this potion is not simple. He is not simple at all.”

The old servant’s expression was quite solemn as he said two ‘not simple’ in a row.

The young man, hidden in the dim light, looked at the old servant in surprise. He did not expect that this proud old servant of his would one day praise someone so highly.

It was not easy to evaluate an alchemist and say that he was not simple.

Because this old servant of his was an alchemist, but an extremely powerful and profound alchemist.

“What level of alchemist do you think the person who refined this potion is?”

The young man asked with interest.

This old servant of his had always been by his side. He had been in seclusion for many years. Now, his name was not well-known in the outside world, and almost no one had heard of him.

However, 100 years ago, the name of Shadowless Ghost Hand had spread throughout the entire Jones Empire, and almost everyone knew of it.

At that time, the name of Shadowless Ghost Hand could be ranked in the top ten in the field of alchemy in the Jones Empire.

Therefore, the young man was really interested in the person that Shadowless Ghost Hand admired so much.

The old servant pondered for a moment, then said with absolute certainty, “He is at least a fifth-rank alchemist. He might even be as good as the legendary sagemaster conferred by the Jones Empire’s royal family.”
