The Auction started right on time and the old man Bai Wei came to the stage.
-Most of the people here know me already but I will introduce myself again for those who are here for the first time or come from afar.
He started his speech.
-My name Is Bai Wei and I'm the host of today's auction as well as the owner of this auction house.
The old man bowed slightly introducing himself.
-Now without further ado, we will proceed with the auction as there are many items before the star of this evening the Mana carrot.
The applause was deafening as everyone wanted to start the auction as soon as possible and avoiding a lengthy speech was a nice change from all the other auctions.
-Our first Item is a stage two advancement pill.
The item was brought onto the stage by a young servant girl.
-This pill allows one to break through into the second stage of cultivation no matter if it is a Qi or mana cultivation without experiencing any bottleneck.
The starting price is ten gold coins.
Once the old man finished speaking the bidding started.
-15 gold coins.
-20 gold coins
-25…
-40…
The price was going up by the moment and it ended at 190 gold coins paid by an older man from one of the local families.
-The second item we have for you tonight is this Dragon bone sword crafted by Master Gu with dragon bone as its primary material.
This blade is sharp enough to cut the wind itself and strong enough to withstand any blow from a stage two expert.
The starting price is 1000 gold coins.
The bidding started again and it was as heated as the previous one but with much more money involved.
Mia and Maya were both excited observing all these different people contending with one another for the items they wanted.
-Darling why are you not bidding?
Maya asked him when the bidding for the sword
-Because I don't want these items, when there is an item that I want or that one of you wants then I will try to get it.
He explained.
This made sense and she returned to watching the auction.
Weapons, pills, potions, rare ingredients, herbs, there were many items auctioned that evening and there were always a lot of bidders for each one of them and every one of them was from a wealthy family, a sect, a guild, or any other power that was nearby.
Paul had no idea there were sects around this place or that there were so many powerful clans and wealthy families in the surrounding area.
Since they were living here now he made an effort to remember as many of them as possible as this might be useful for him in the future.
-The next item is a set of fans crafted from Tempest deer materials and decorated with exquisite paintings of a phoenix and a dragon. its starting price is 2000 gold coins.
Old man Bai announced.
The moment he finished speaking Paul raised his sign to bid for the item.
Fans were not exactly the favorite weapon for most people so he wanted to give it a shot.
-2100 gold coins.
Paul said.
The moment he saw the beautiful items he thought that they would suit Mia and wanted to get them for her.
-2300 gold coins.
A young man in another box bid.
-2500…
A young lady who wore a sect uniform also joined.
-2800…
-3000…
-3500…
The bid got higher and higher but only a few people wanted this set of fans.
-Darling thank you for wanting to get them for me but they are getting too expensive.
Mia tried to stop Paul from bidding once the price went over 5000 gold coins.
This was an enormous amount of money to pay for two fans especially considering the ones she used now cost a few hundred gold coins.
-Don't worry I have the money and if it goes any higher than 6000 I will stop.
Paul calmed her down.
These fans were great but for the same price, he could order them from a weapon crafter so there was no need to go over 6000.
Fortunately, the other bidders stopped when he bid 5700 gold coins.
-5700 gold coins, is there anyone who would want to bid more?
The old man Wei asked.
The only one who wanted to bid further was the young lady from the sect but she was stopped by her fellow disciples.
-5700 going once.
There was no one bidding further.
-Going twice.
This was the last chance to bid but no one even tried.
-Sold to the young master Marshal for 5700 gold coins.
The old man said and dropped the hammer concluding the sale of the fans.
Many people looked at the box as they had never heard of a Marshal family so they were curious and some people even ordered their servants to investigate about the new wealthy young master.
Soon after a young woman brought the items to Paul's box and he settled the bill with six crystal coins receiving 300 gold coins back.
Without any delay, he presented the fans to Mia.
-For you honey.
He said offering the two fans to her.
Mia was moved by his gesture and gave him a big hug and a kiss on his lips which shocked him.
Seeing their affectionate behaviour Maya was not jealous in the slightest.
She was sure that if there was something she was interested in or it suited her then Paul would do his best to get it for her.
Then she would also kiss him so all she needed was a bit of patience.
Paul was never stingy when it came to his ladies and if they asked for something then he would do his best to get it for them.
The auction continued and they all enjoyed it but they didn't bid for anything else for now.
The prices of items kept going up along with their rarity or worth but it was evident that everyone was waiting for the main event and trying to save their assets to have a chance at the final auction.
