The Bell sound resoundingly inside the auction hall and the charming black-haired lady waved his hand.
Immediately after, a girl of about 18 years old carrying a tray covered with a green cloth brought it onto the auction stage.
Instantly, waves of spirit sense are released as curious spirit realm experts in the auction hall want to know what is inside the tray but the spiritual sense was repelled by the green cloth before it touches the tray as the cloth is laced with formations which Ryu has already discovered when the tray was being brought to the stage.
When a cultivator reaches the spirit realm, they awakened their spirit sense that can expand around their body to scan their surroundings.
When the spirit realm experts release their sense, grunts of displeasure rang out as many people are displeased with them but they don't dare talk as the spirit realm cultivators are the highest realms in the auction hall.
"This will be the first treasure for the auction the 'Green Fanged paired dagger ' which was produced by the best blacksmith in our golden parrot continent Master Su, it is a low spirit grade artifact and it is one of the best artifacts from Master Su" Feng Ling explained and gesture to the girl to remove the cloth covering the tray.
The girl nodded and removed the cloth which instantly exposed a black pair of daggers with scanty green color on it producing a little green mist around it with an ominous aura
Feng Ling continue and said
" This artifact is refined in the poison from the alveoli of the 'Poison Salamander' one of the deadliest poisonous animals, it's poison can even kill a spirit realm expert if care is not taken and the starting price is 5,000 middle-grade spirit stones and every increment must be 500 middle-grade spirit stones higher"
"Now the bidding start"
The moment Feng Ling finished her sentence, the silent auction hall explode in an uproar, exclamations of amazement rang out as the cultivators started bidding,
"5,000 middle-grade spirit stones"
"5,500 middle-grade spirit stones"
"6,500 middle-grade spirit stones "
"8,000 middle grade..."
The guest immediately leaped into action, voices rang out as the bidders bid while fighting a war of money, they are competing with money to get the black pair of the dagger.
Ryu was stunned seeing the bidders in a frenzy and was confused why they are in such a frenzy for just the first auctioned object.
He looked at the also frenzied fatty at his side who was looking at the dagger with shining eyes while bidding his time to bid when the battle reached its fiercest.
Ryu cleared his throat which instantly attracted the fatty and asked,
" Bryt, why are the bidders so frenzied in just the first object auctioned in the auction, I think the battle becomes fiercest when the auction is reaching its peak and the last object come into view but seeing this isn't so like what I expected before, " Ryu asked while gesturing with his finger to the frenzied bidders.
When Ryu was asking questions, the fatty doesn't even turn to Ryu but fixed his eye on the dagger when he heard his last sentence, he hurriedly turned and said
"That is because this auction is different in all ways from the auction you may have encountered before as they only auction the best treasures at the end of the year, and as it is yearly all the treasures will more or less be high grade so the first object may even be better than the last one for most monthly auction they did every month" Bryt explained thoroughly and turned back to the auction stage fixing back his eye on the dagger on the stage.
Ryu nodded in understanding and also turned back to the auction to observe.
He discovered that by this time the bidding is reaching its peak as there remain only a few bidders, some of them have quit already and it remains the rich Scions who are still bidding.
The auction has reached 21,000 middle-grade stones at this moment when a loud flowery voice rang out from a room instantly adding 4,000 middle-grade spirit stones to make it 25,000 middle-grade spirit stones.
Silence reigns in the hall for a moment when a skinny tanned skin tall guy instantly exclaimed,
" Isn't that Miss Fang of the Shen family and the daughter of the chief elder of the MYRIAD BEAST FIRMS! As expected of a rich scion, she instantly adds 4,000 middle-grade spirit stones," the skinny man said, and the remaining people inside the hall and Ryu except for the people inside the rooms have a look of realization, and the bid stop, nobody wants to buy a low-grade spirit artifact for more then 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones, though it's rare, they can be seen in some auction house once in a while.
Seeing nobody bidding again, the face of Feng Ling scrunch up in dissatisfaction, she was expecting the artifact to reach 30,000 middle-grade spirit stones, but now...
"Congratulations miss fang, for winning the first treasure our auction has to offer this time, now to the next treasure," Feng Ling said.
Though dissatisfied with she still waved her hand for the next treasure.
There is also a dissatisfied fatty beside Ryu inside the room, who was looking at the dagger being carried away, he can't bid against the chief elder of the firm as his father is only a chief, and bidding against the lady might bring dissatisfaction from the chief elder because she dotes on her to no end.
Immediately after, the 18 years old girl from earlier again brings the tray this time covered with red cloth, the cloth earlier can't be used again, it's destroyed by the poison of the dagger.
After removing the cover, the girl leaves the stage and Feng Ling starts the introduction,
"This a peak grade 5th tier slaughter formation, it can instantly kill a Heaven realm expert and seriously injured a spirit realm powerhouse but only if trapped for a while in it, and if you want to ask that can't the spirit realm forcefully tore it apart?
No! Because the material is for 6th tiers formation so the spirit realm won't be able to escape for a long time, but it has a downside, it can only be either be activated by Heaven realm experts or higher by using their qi, or by middle-grade spirit stones, and it depends on the amount on the middle-grade spirit stones.
The starting price is 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones and every bid must be 1000 spirit stones upward, now the bid starts!"
After the introduction, when the people in the outer hall hear the starting price it's like they pour cold water in them because of the price, but the people in the rooms are unperturbed and leaped into action from excitement, but there are still few people still confident in the outer hall.
Having this formation is like having a second life for them, especially, heaven realm expert and rich Scions.
"20,000" someone from the outer hall instantly said.
"21,000"
"23,000 middle-grade spirit stones"
"25,000 middle-grade spir..."
Countless voices sounded as the bidding started and excitement is spreading as the bidding war continues.
Inside Ryu's room, he was almost bored to death as the two treasures auction since doesn't interest him in the least in contrast to the fatty beside him who was practically jumping from excitement.
Ryu has many weapons and formation plates inside his save, though the formation plates are damaged, they are still of higher grade and powerful than the one on the stage, he was thinking to repair them when he has time to learn formations after getting his revenge on the sky firebird kingdom.
"If I have known formation will be quite a hot commodity in this place, I will have auctioned some among the better though low-grade ones to get spirit stones," Ryu thought regretfully and shift his attention back to the auction.
Unexpectedly the bid is over and Feng Ling is about to introduce another treasure.
Beside him is a fatty caressing a formation plate while his eyes are shining like a perverted man seeing a naked seductive woman, unexpectedly, it's the fatty that gets the formation plate.
Disgusted, Ryu exclaimed,
"Can you just stop! Why are you caressing the plate like that huh?!, It's just a 5th-tier formation, what is so good about it that you are caressing it like that?!"
Bryt widen his incredulously big dog eyes and exclaimed
"What don't tell me you don't know this too, ahh... Now I'm really starting to think you used to lived under a rock.
Don't you know formations masters are rare in our golden parrot continent, though abundant In the 3 other continents but here in our continent...I don't even think high-grade formation master exceeds 4 to 5 here and you said I should dote on my new baby...ahem... I mean new formation plate! Hmph," the fatty said and snorted while caressing the plate back and forth.
Speechless, Ryu looks back to the people in the auction hall and can see the fervent excitement and instantly realize it's true, it's as if they are seeing something really rare, not like the excitement for the dagger.
Ryu with a bitter face again instantly regret not auctioning his formation plates.
With new renewed hope, he looked at Bryt and asked.
"Hey fatty, do you think I can still auction things now that the auction is going on now?"
"No, it's already too late now, the manager though I'm his superior won't let me, as it's his line of work and I don't have any say in that, do you have something more to auction?"
Ryu nodded but said,
"Don't worry it's nothing important though, maybe next time" Ryu's renewed hope is mercilessly crushed by Bryt's reply so he doesn't even want to auction anymore and instead closes his and leaned on the soft couch.
"Okay," Bryt replied and also continue to watch the auction.
Time flies as the auction is coming to the last phase when Ryu heard Feng Ling's voice saying,
"Guests, we are reaching the last phase of the auction and the next treasures are scrolls of cultivation skills and techniques.
They are 10 scrolls, 5 for cultivation techniques and 5 also for cultivation skills they are all low blue grade, and they will be auctioned in two batches, one for Techniques and one for skills,
Ready your spirit stones as the auction will be starting now"
Immediately after, uproars of dissatisfaction ring out as the people in the outer hall are dissatisfied because it's sure they won't have the chance to get any out of the scrolls.
The tall tanned skinny guy from earlier said exclaimed with dissatisfied,
"Miss Feng, It's is as if these scrolls are specified for the people in the rooms, it's unfair, what about us"
Feng Ling looked towards the man who instantly cowered back when he saw her calm but authoritative gaze, and also all the people clamoring cowered and sat back in their sits.
Seeing them sitting back she returned to her coquettish demeanor and charming said,
"Sorry for the delay, we will first auction the skills and they go for 50,000 middle-grade spirit stones and every increment must be 5,000 upward.
Now the bidding start!"
