The crowd got even wilder, only silent when the woman clapped, "Alright, let's get the first item on the stage," two male servants soon came carrying a large vase, though it probably something inside the vase that was the item.
The woman proved his guess was right. "In here is something we have found inside the Agarsi Forest, a unique item very few could even hope to see,"
As the cover was removed, something came out. Ryker could see that it was a plant, yet it seemed to be able to move freely.
"This here is a newborn Blood-Hunting Vine. It is currently a sprout but if one could tame it and nurture this fearsome plant, it could grow into a Tier 9 Genesis Beast.
And if one did not want to have this murderous being as it is, then, it could be refined into the infamous Body Regeneration Pills,"
"Looks like good stuff already appears so soon," Ryker exclaimed.
"Are we going to bet?" Miriam asked.
"No," Ryker shook his head, "While we could nurture it, it is not worth the time and effort," Ryker told her, making her nod.
Soon, the Blood-Hunting Vine was auctioned and taken off the stage, where another item replaced it, this time, a fan.
"This is the Gust Governing Fan. With a single swipe, this fan could even unleash a hurricane, causing anyone standing in its path to be blown away.
"I will demonstrate," the woman then stood at the end of the stage before swiping the fan. Instantly, a hurricane was created and traveled the distance of the stage.
Ryker could tell even he would be troubled if he was hit by the gust. Soon, a powerful aura Ryker could immediately tell as Sophia dissipated the hurricane.
"Let us begin the auction, starting with 500 High-Grade Genesis Gold..."
-x-
Soon, 20 items had been auctioned. Ryker also decided to do a couple of bids and managed to get 2 items, a dagger, and a pill. Both will be given to his lovers as he has no use for them.
Soon, a servant carried a small box onto the stage and put it on the prepared table.
"In this box is blood belonging to a powerful Horse Beast that had been roaming in the plain of our Elkom Territory," a series of gasps was heard from the crowd.
"That's right, in here, is the blood of the mighty Earth Shaking Stallion. A single gallop could cause a crack to appear where it ran. It is a mighty Genesis Beast that possesses a great mastery of the law of Earth.
And its blood contained a tint of its mastery. Whether one practices a Cultivation Technique that requires this beast's blood or wants to increase the mastery of the Law of Earth, then, you have to bid for this item.
Let's start the bid with 600 High-Grade Genesis Gold,"
"700"
"800"
"Ryker, are we go-" "900,"
Miriam looked at Ryker in surprise.
"Wha-" "Terrablitz," Miriam's eyes changed to one of understanding. The Genesis Beast had been with them for a long time yet he had remained stagnant, only able to reach Tier 2 through a lot of resources.
They don't have the hard to throw the beast, who had been with them, with Ryker, then probably even Ina.
"I just hope none of the big shots will try to bid," Miriam says, as she watches the bidding happen.
-x-
"Looks like the one who stood in this young master way in his conquest of the Miss of Elkom Auction House had finally made a bid on the more interesting treasure," Eugin knew that Ryker had bid for the dagger and pill but considering his family have something similar, if not better, he could not bid it.
But, with the Earth Shaking Stallion's blood, it was different. After all, he used a special Cultivation Art that required him to absorb the blood of a powerful beast. The Earth Shaking Stallion seems like something that he would bid for.
"1500 High-Grade Genesis Gold," the man exclaimed, a huge smile on his face. Even if the young man was somewhat rich, it would be hard for him to afford it, unless he planned to give up on the other items in the auction.
"1600," to his surprise, the other man continues his bid, seemingly uncaring of how much money he has to throw around.
"1700," Eugin gritted his teeth, his limit will be 2000 High-Grade Genesis Gold, as there are more items that will be present in the auction his father told him to bid for.
"1800,"
"1900,"
"2000,"
Eugin slumped, defeated as he could not get the blood and denied the blood to his love rival.
"How did someone that dressed like a commoner get his hand on so many High-Grade Genesis Gold?" he asked out loud.
His entourage gave him a weird look. "Young master, the man was someone the manager of Elkom Auction House considered a business partner. It is likely the transaction they made would allow him to gain so many High-Grade Genesis Gold.
If I remember it right, didn't he say something about 20 Tier 9 Genesis Beast materials, a week? It is likely how he got the funds to procure the Earth Shaking Stallion Blood,"
"You are right. But that does mean that he would be a hard opponent. Aside from the Spirit Grade Materials which is impossible for us to gain, there are a lot of High Grade 9 Materials and Items. Those are what we come here for.
So, let us focus on getting what we come here for now," he decided to put the rivalry aside. After all, he is much better than the man in every way.
-x-
"Atchoo!"
"Are you okay," Miriam asked.
"I am fine. Just a sneeze after all," Ryker assures his lover. "I wonder, when will our item be put on stage," as soon as he said that, a vial of blood, along with the beak of a Blood Vulture was put on stage.
"This here is a vial of blood of a Tier 9 Blood Vulture. But, that is not what makes this blood so special," as the cover was opened, a silhouette of the Blood Vulture emerged from the blood.
"This Blood Vulture had reached the peak of Tier 9, even creating its pseudo-domain, with only needing a slight push before becoming a Spirit Beast. It is much more valuable than the blood of the Earth-Shaking Horse as a result.
So, let's start things with 1000 High-Grade Genesis Gold," with how the crowd goes wild and the bid starts to go higher, he smiles.
"Let's see how high it can go,"
