The Frost Snowfruit was entirely white, resembling a grape in appearance.
However, it was a single piece, not a cluster like grapes, and was shrouded in misty frost air, appearing quite extraordinary.
It was after clearly seeing the Frost Snowfruit that Colin finally understood that strange feeling—it was clearly a reminder from his Frost Talent!
This grape-like Frost Snowfruit should be like the ice flower beads obtained earlier through Anando's Dice in the Extreme North, a treasure that could enhance Frost Talent!
"Eighty-one thousand Magic Stones!" After the auction hammer fell, the mechanical bidding sound followed.
Colin paused for a moment and then pressed the button next to his seat.
"Eighty-five thousand Magic Stones!"
He had no reason to miss out on this fruit that could enhance his Frost Talent!
"Eighty-six thousand Magic Stones!"
Just like the previous Extreme Cold Crystal, the market value of the Frost Snowfruit wasn't just eighty thousand Magic Stones; its auction order came later than the Extreme Cold Crystal, so its market price should also be slightly higher than the one hundred thousand Magic Stones of the Extreme Cold Crystal.
Perhaps around one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty thousand Magic Stones?
But such items are usually priceless, and the transaction prices vary, the market value is just a rough estimate.
"Ninety thousand Magic Stones," Colin continued to bid without hesitation.
Since the Talent column appeared on the Golden Paper, enhancing Talent had always been an issue.
It wasn't like witchcraft or Meditation Method, which could be directly improved through practice.
The way each Talent progresses also differs, usually quite troublesome, and even some still temporarily have no way to be enhanced.
Like the True Talent—Superbrain.
But Frost Talent was an exception, at least for now, the method to improve Frost Talent was straightforward.
No need for roundabout, costly methods through other means; simply consuming similar Frost treasures could lead to enhancement...
Could it be because Frost Talent was originally obtained by consuming Ice Spring Essence, so the same Magic Plants or Element treasures could also enhance this Talent?
But regardless, just spending some affordable Magic Stones could enhance his own Talent; this deal couldn't be more worthwhile!
The auction continued, with bids rising and falling, and the price kept climbing.
"One hundred twenty thousand Magic Stones!" Colin raised his hand and pressed the bidding button, his brow unwavering.
He was determined to get this Frost Snowfruit!
Elsewhere in another private box.
A plainly-dressed wizard with white brows, Isidore, furrowed his brows slightly and pressed the black bidding button beside him.
"One hundred twenty-one thousand Magic Stones!"
Isidore held a small wooden box in his left hand, inside which lay a strange snowflake continuously emitting cold air.
'Surely worth the one hundred sixty thousand Magic Stones spent on the Extreme Cold Crystal!',
Isidore lightly sniffed the Extreme Cold Crystal, his brow slightly relaxed, a pleased expression appearing on his face.
"One hundred twenty-two thousand Magic Stones!"
At that moment, the mechanical bidding sound resonated again.
Isidore's brows pinched together, he reached out and pressed the white bidding button:
"One hundred twenty-three thousand Magic Stones!"
Extreme Cold Crystal was valuable, Frost Snowfruit was valuable too; he wanted both.
In another nearby private box, Colin heard the mechanical bidding sound, his brows involuntarily knitting together.
He paused, then reached out to press the bidding button.
"One hundred thirty thousand Magic Stones!"
However, right after a moment, the mechanical bidding sound continued.
"One hundred thirty-one thousand Magic Stones!"
Colin sighed slightly, it seemed the other bidders hadn't been deterred by the raised price by seven thousand Magic Stones as he had hoped.
He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed the bidding button again.
"One hundred forty thousand Magic Stones!"
The sudden increase of ten thousand Magic Stones in the bidding price caused a short silence in the entire auction house.
Just when the auctioneer was getting ready to strike the auction hammer to start the timer, the mechanical bidding voice suddenly rose again.
"One hundred forty-nine thousand Magic Stones!"
Isidore's brows tightened.
He truly hadn't expected that besides the Extreme Cold Crystal, another equally valuable Frost element material, the Frost Snowfruit, would appear in this auction!
Unfortunately, after acquiring the Extreme Cold Crystal, he didn't have many Magic Stones left; one hundred forty-nine thousand Magic Stones was the maximum he could offer now.
"One hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones!"
The mechanical bidding voice continued unabated.
Isidore sighed and put down his hand.
It seemed he could only watch as the Frost Snowfruit slipped through his fingers.
"One hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones once... one hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones twice… one hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones three times!"
Dang!
The golden auction hammer struck down heavily.
Inside the private box, Colin breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it was just one hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones; if it had been more, his Magic Stones might not have sufficed.
Actually, it was only because he had just sold the Extreme Cold Crystal; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to come up with one hundred fifty thousand Magic Stones now...
It was fairly lucky, after all, if he missed the Frost Snowfruit this time, he had no idea how long he would have to wait to encounter another treasure that could enhance Frost Talent.
The Frost Snowfruit, like other small auction items, would be transported to the corresponding bidder via a special device once auctioned.
So a moment later, after the next auction item was brought onto the stage, Colin had already picked up the Frost Snowfruit, contained in a brown wooden box, from the tray next to his seat in the private box.
He opened the wooden box, took out the fruit, and held its somewhat cold texture in his hand, its misty frost air pervading, refreshing one's spirits. After examining it for a while, Colin carefully stored it away.
