"There's no rule that I can't bid right?" Siphyr said with a smirk and although the man in room 1 couldn't see it, he knew Siphyr was mocking him.
However, he calmed himself and bid once more. "1,700,000!" He shouted loudly as if saying "Do you dare?" But no words from Siphyr were heard again.
"Going once.... Going twice... Sold to VIP room 1!" The woman's cheerful voice sounded and she smiled brightly at room number 3. Because of him, she was going to get a bonus for raising the price.
'I should thank the person there later after I get my bonus.' She thought inwardly and noted in her mind.
Although the person in room 1 won, he felt irritated for some reason. The man in room 3 kept raising the price when he started bidding and stopped at the right time making him get the item at a much higher price than the OEP. [A/N: Original Estimated Price.]
But he only blamed himself for falling for his tricks and calmly waited for the next item.
Meanwhile, inside VIP room number three, Liliane chuckled as she said, "You're really openly provoking him. Did he really make you mad?" She said with an amused smile, she found Siphyr hiding his anger quite cute.
"Hmph, of course not! It's just that he's trying to get what's not his. At first I didn't really care about it but after seeing the report on him and the reason why he was doing it, it made me.... Ah, forget it."
"Hahaha~" This time it was Diane who laughed. She also found it quite cute when Siphyr is angry.
But seeing his best to hide it they didn't dwell on it further unless they wanted him to get annoyed.
"By the way, Liliane. How did you know it was him inside that room?" He asked curiously. He wanted to know what trick Liliane did. This room was said to be impenetrable from the prying even from someone at the third realm.
Liliane smiled mischievously and said, "Well, one of Lily's subordinates works here in disguise. She told me enthusiastically when I asked. Oh, she's the girl on that stage over there and that's not her original appearance as she's wearing a disguise." She pointed at the woman who was the host for this auction.
Seeing that she was a host, Siphyr guessed that she had a high status in this auction house.
Finally, after a while that lasted only for a few minutes. The final item arrived on stage and was shown to everyone.
It was a sealed bottle gourd made from jade. Even though it was sealed everyone could smell the medicine fragrance from the bottle.
"This is the final item and one of the most prided items we will sell. It's made by the leader of the most famous alchemy guild, Eden, Farma Seticia!" She announced with the loudest she can and a commotion broke out.
"Farma Seticia? You mean it's made from the person who made a perfect quality pill? Then... Is that pill also peak quality?"
One of the people in the VIP rooms asked and the host shook her head, "Unfortunately we weren't able to get a perfect quality pill and even if we do, it will only be displayed on the VIP floors. However, this pill here is a high quality one and I assure you that this is better than anyone could make!" The person who asked sighed hearing her words but nodded as something like that is a treasure.
"Now then let me explain what this pill is. This pill is called 'Body Reformation Pill' , if consumed one will break down their flesh, non-vital organs, muscles, and bones. It will be a painful process but I assure you that it will be worth it as your body's strength and durability will increase by leaps and bounds!"
She explained and almost everyone swallowed their saliva in shock. This was a rare body strengthening pill, and it was also made by the best alchemist in the continent!
If they could have this, not only will their body become durable, their overall power will also increase considerably!
'I must get this pill on my hands!' All of them thought inwardly even Siphyr who had shown no interest in all the items before.
Although he could make a perfect quality pill when he trained with his master, he's level still wasn't enough to make this pill.
He needed more understanding, skills, and training. However, now was not the time to focus on pills, so he must get this at all costs.
After all, it would greatly help with his bodily cultivation.
"Anyway, the starting price will be 2,000,000 gold coins for this pill!" She announced and soon bids came at her and the ones at the first floor were forced to back out at the large amount of bids.
"2,300,000!"
"2,600,000!"
"2,700,000!"
"3,000,000! You bastards this pill belongs to me!"
"Heh~ 4,000,000!"
"..."
At Siphyr's bid that was a million more than the previous one, everyone went silent. That man just casually bid a million more. And this person was the one who played with the man in room 1 without fear too.
From this they knew, only room 1 and room 3 will be bidding against each other.
"4.... 4,100,000! I dare you to increase your bid bastard!" He cursed but there was reluctance in his words.
Siphyr grinned from ear to ear as he snickered, "Ha! You're just an illegitimate child, how are you going to explain it to your father if you waste this large amount of money? Well, you can have it." Siphyr laughed afterwards and this caused the man in room 1 to frown and his face had an expression of shock.
"H... How....? Hell, I thought he wanted this, that's why I bid for this pill. Is he just going to give up? I've already lost my personal savings from the other two items. How am I going to explain this from my father without getting a punishment?"
His face was filled with dread as he thought about the punishment. However, to his great surprise Siphyr bid at the last second before it was sold to him.
"4,110,000! Look at you, I could tell that you were worrying about getting a punishment from your father, am I right? Hahaha!" He mocked but the man in room one sighed in relief, enduring the humiliation.
"4,110,000! Going once... Going twice.... Sold to the person at VIP room 3!" She announced and the auction ended at that.
People soon left the auction house and some were guided to the back to get the items they've bidded for.
As for those in the VIP rooms, they waited for their items to be delivered.
"Now then, shall I give Lily's subordinate a great surprise?"
