"Boom!"
The auction house exhibits an eerie silence. All the audience are trying to wrap their head about what they just heard. flabbergasted, they all stared at each other's faces, the astonishment on each of their faces can never be described with mere words. Turning their heads, every one of them looked at the inner tent where the voice came from. Open their mouths wide, they thought, who the hell would spend that huge amount of money on a medium rank 1 storage ring.
Even though a medium rank 1 storage ring is uncommon, that doesn't mean it is worth five gold coins.
After a few moments, the eyes' open atmosphere gradually calms down. The mature auctioneer did not know what to do. She looked at the auction area from one angle to the next.
" Can we call this auction event again?" She thought. " just too overbearing. Where is the fun? Ah! Depressing," she murmured.
All manner of whispers and murmurs had now started arising from the audience.
" it just too dampens "
" disheartening, she degrades the value of money to minuscule."
" is she really from the sky polar empire?"
" who knows"
" Since we can't see their faces or know their identities, we can't rule out the possibility."
" maybe they are from the royal families"
Gasped, the thought of the royal families sitting in the inner tent gave them goosebumps. Every citizen of the sky polar empire regards the royal families extremely high like an unreachable existence.
Witnessing their reaction, Zara was pleased. With a broad smile all over her face, she placed a finger on her right chick. " It's all thanks to Lordmaster that I can be in this position," She thought.
" will you continue the auction or not. You can save all your thoughts until the auction is concluded," Zara said with a voice.
Hearing this, all the murmurs and whispers all die down. The mature lady on the auctioning podium looked at all the crowd
" any more bid for the medium rank 1 storage ring," she said.
The auction area remains quiet, the VIP tent is not excluded.
" the medium rank 1 storage ring is going once," she looked at the VIP tent expectantly. " Going twice" quiet continues, none of the noble elders gave any signs of talking. " going thrice, sold for five gold coins," the mature lady said.
The mature lady had a radiant smile on her face " I never thought we were going to make five gold coins from the storage ring. Ah! What a good day. I will receive a lot of commission from this alone," she thought.
Lost in her thoughts, a young man walked to the podium, whispering some word into the mature lady's ear.
Our eyes open wide, she trembles a little. She looked at the young man straight in the eyes. The young man nods his head, quickly taking his leave.
" Hmm, hmm"
She clears her throat, trying to stay calm, she looks at the audience smiling.
" Am pleased to inform you that there are now two legendary items for auctioning. Get your money ready, if you missed this opportunity you may never get another."
The silent crow busted with various murmurs and whispers.
" legendary items! what can it be?"
" where did they get it"
" it's not in their menu to auction a legendary item"
" Who knows what the items are?"
" maybe it's just being placed for auctioning by some people"
Nodding their heads.
" yes, that can only be the possible means"
A man stood up among the audience
" can you tell us what the legendary items are so that we may know how to prepare ourselves?"
The mature lady stared at the man while staying quiet. After giving the crowd a couple of seconds to digest what they heard she said " These legendary items are pills."
"Pills!"
The crowd started talking in a loud voice. Seeing their reactions, the mature lady understands why they behave like that. There are no legendary pills in the sky polar empire. There are only low-level pills, the highest purity is forty-five percent. The alchemist only works for the royal family members.
" calm down, let me explain," the mature lady said.
Hearing this, the auction area immediately gets noiseless.
" mhmm"
"these legendary pills were given to us by an esteemed guest. That guest is an alchemist, she gave us only two. These pills are peak rank 1 pills."
"What!"
"Peak rank 1!"
" That is impossible, we had not seen a medium rank 1 pill not to talk of top rank 1 pill. You are now telling us ``peak?" A man said, shaking his head in disagreement.
" is the guest from the sky polar empire or not."
" It can't be from sky polar empire, we would have heard the guest name"
" if the pills are from another empire we would have heard the name of the pills for decades."
" Do you know that it is over a hundred years since we last saw top rank 1 pills?" an elder said.
Listen to all this, Zara gasped. " what! Hundred years!" She rolled her eyes, she looked at Thomas bewildered.
" lordmaster, do you know about this?"
Thomas stares at the audience who are yet to accept the fact that peak rank 1 pills are possible.
" no," Thomas shakes his head, " but I had read that it's been over two to three decades since we had top rank 1 pills."
" This is going to make a lot of trouble for us," she muttered.
"I know, but don't worry about it. It's just going to make you famous that's all" Thomas said.
" famous!" Shaking her head " I don't want to"
" What do you expect?" Thomas raised his eyebrows staring at her. " your family is on to you like a leash while I had a death trap around my head. So do you get why you need to be prominent in alchemy?"
" hmm"
Nodding her head " yes, but am not fully convinced why we can not use medium or top rank 1 pills"
" that makes you untouchable, everyone wants peak rank 1 pills including the royal family members. You may not know the royal family may have medium or top rank 1 pill in their treasury."
"Ok, I get it. Everybody will need my help or want to acquire the peak rank 1 pills"
" mhmm"
" but you need resources from them, not money. You can only give only one out of the two pills. Nobody must collect the two."
Ok, I understand. What if I was asked to create a pill for them. I mean the common pills"
" you can, I have solved the major problems why the alchemist can not produce peak rank 1 pills and I believe you create all the common pills with ninety percent purity."
" Hmm yes I can"
" no problem then."
On the podium, the mature lady waves her hand to ask them to calm down.
" Our alchemist has already confirmed it. So you have to forget about it being fake."
The crowd nods their heads. Believing what the mature lady said since they had checked the purity of the pills.
Clapping her hand, a young lady walked on to the stage with a tray in her hand. On the tray, a transparent bottle with a blue pill inside it.
Seeing the pill, all gaze was on it. The legendary pill I must get they all thought.
"Hmmm, hmm"
Clearing her throat " this is the meridian strengthening pill. All children to start cultivating at the age of ten and also it strengthens the meridian of bodybuilding realm cultivator by increasing their cultivating speed by 30 percent" the mature lady said.
" what!"
Mystify, the audience opens their mouth wide. Is this possible they thought.
The mature lady had already been expecting this kind of reaction " we don't have all day. Starting bid start from twenty gold coins, increase by one gold coin"
" twenty gold coins!"
" that too much," a man said.
" if you can not bid for this legendary pill, please keep quiet," the mature lady said.
While some are still deliberating, from one of the VIP tent, a woman voice was heard "twenty-one gold coins"
"twenty-two," an elderly man from another VIP said.
"twenty-three"
"twenty-four"
"twenty-five"
The elderly man did not bid again and it was sold for twenty-five gold coins to the woman.
The mature auctioneer smiles. Clapping her hand the young lady brought the second pill.
" This is the body condensing pill. It assists bodybuilding realm cultivators in the breakthrough from one level to another. It can only be used three times by a cultivator before it becomes useless to the cultivator. Starting bid twenty gold coins increase by one gold coins"
" what!"
"Twenty-one"
"twenty-two"
"twenty-three"
The second pill was sold for twenty-seven gold coins. The audience was astonished, selling two legendary pills for over fifty gold coins.
From a VIP tent, a man asked " where can I find this honorable alchemist"
The mature auctioneer stared at where the voice came from. She said " easy, you can find this esteemed alchemist in red sparrow merchant tent. That is their temporary store.
Besides, you don't need to bring along your money that would be useless. All you need is to bring resources that are valuable that can move them to attend to you." She smiled.
" resources? "
The mature auctioneer nods her head.
" what type," a woman asked
" Any "
