Unless he bid on the auction at all costs, but that was obviously impossible.

Even for his daughter, he could not completely disregard the price.

After all, everything in the world had value. Once it exceeded this value, it would not be worth it.

Moreover, he could not take the resources of the third bloodline and recklessly bid for a bottle of alchemy potion. If that were the case, as the elder of the third bloodline, he definitely would not be able to sit still.

Kaki did not see too much determination in her father’s eyes. But, for a moment, her heart was filled with disappointment.

A small place like Spark City might not even produce a level-10 alchemy potion once every hundred years. But, moreover, it was an alchemy potion that could break through realms. If she missed this opportunity, there would basically be no next time.

“Kaki, if it’s possible, I will definitely try his best to help you bid for it. Father will not give up so easily.”

Houston patted Kaki’s shoulder and comforted him.

…

Similar things happened almost simultaneously in all the big families and big forces in Spark City.

The appearance of the level 10 breakthrough-type alchemy potion undoubtedly excited the younger generation who could directly benefit from it.

Those geniuses were originally on the same starting line, but as long as someone obtained this bottle of alchemy potion, they would immediately surpass the others and take the lead. Thus, it was very likely that they would become the number one genius in the entire Spark City.

Therefore, those juniors looked for their elders at the first possible moment.

The Cameron family.

“My good grandson, don’t worry. In Spark City, no one’s financial ability can surpass our Cameron family’s. Nevertheless, Grandpa will do his best to help you obtain that bottle of level-10 alchemy potion.”

The face of the Cameron family’s big elder, Bessie Cameron, was full of red light. He was already rubbing his fists and preparing to show off his skills.

As the number one expert in Spark City, a level 37 high-level Heroic, he had the right to say this.

Strength represented status and wealth. In Spark City, there were very few people who could compete with him.

Calder, who was dealing with the family’s affairs, was silent for a long time after receiving the news. Finally, he opened the window and looked at the sky outside. A restless emotion was brewing in his heart. It had been a long time since he had been so tempted.

If Audrey could obtain that precious bottle of level-10 alchemy potion, she should at least be able to break through to a level-4 fighter with this potion.

Then, she would be able to get rid of her identity as a useless girl temporarily…

Although an 18-year-old level-4 fighter was not outstanding, it could be said to be ordinary. Therefore, she would not be a piece of trash.

In that case, Audrey might be able to return to her normal life and not be ridiculed every day.

However, after a short moment, the feeling of excitement disappeared. Calder sighed, and the light in his eyes dimmed again.

That level-10 alchemy potion could only help cultivators break through realms, but it could not help cultivators improve their talent.

After Audrey used that alchemy potion, she might be able to return to a normal person’s level temporarily. But what about in the future?

Calder was very clear about Audrey’s talent. However, even if she broke through to level-4 with the help of that level-10 alchemy potion, she probably would not grow much in the next few decades.

If she remained at Level-4 all this time, she would also be ridiculed. In fact, she might even be ridiculed even more severely.

Rather than that, it was better not to give her hope.

The cruelest thing in life was to give hope and then lose it.

That top-notch level-10 alchemy potion was only useful to geniuses. It could allow them to be one step ahead of others, but to trash, it was useless. At most, they could only receive short-term comfort.
