As more and more items were auctioned, the atmosphere in the auction house gradually became livelier.
After about 2 hours of non-stop auctioning, a beautiful woman brought a scroll on stage.
At first glance,this scroll looked extremely ordinary, but, the audience knew that something that could be brought out in the auction, especially this late into the game was definitely special.
The melodious voice of Amanda rang out as she said "dear guests, this scroll contains the top grade silver martial skill, the earth fist".
"It was entrusted to us by someone who obtained a fortuitous encounter and managed to obtain this skill".
"The asking price is 20,000 low grade Qi stones and each increment must be at least 1,000 Qi stones."
As soon as her voice fell, the auction house became dead silent for a moment before erupting in discussions.
"Oh my God, so expensive!"
"I've never even seen that many Qi stones before."
"Only the big shots in the private rooms will probably be able to afford it."
"Sigh...this auction has nothing to do with us poor folks."
As these discussions were going on, the bidding had already started.
"20,000 qi stones."
"22,000 qi stones."
"25,000 Qi stones."
Various voices belonging to the individuals in the private rooms rang out.
"28,000 Qi stones everyone my Jones family is interested in this martial skill. Please give us some face."
An old man's voice sounded out from one of the private rooms.
"Hmph who gives a sh*t about your Jones family."
"30,000 Qi stones".
A cold voice replied to the man from the Jones family as he also raised the price.
Finally after the price reached 41,000 Qi stones, many people gave up and it was finally won by the Jones family.
After the successful auction, another item was brought on stage.
This time, it was an axe.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this axe is a peak silver grade weapon that was obtained alongside the axe by the same individual.
The starting price of this axe is 30,000 Qi stones and the increments have to be at least 1,000 Qi stones."
As soon as Amanda's words fell, a commotion was made in the auction house.
"Oh my God a peak silver grade weapon. I've never even seen one before."
"Damn, my sword is just a mid grade bronze rank weapon. How powerful would a peak silver grade weapon be?"
"Ahh I'm so jealous. I wish I could just snatch it off the stage."
"Hehe try that and your head will fly off faster than you can even think."
As the various discussions rang out, the eyes of the people in the private rooms started sparkling.
Some people who were previously dejected that they had missed out on the martial skill were now happy that they hadn't bid on it.
If they had, they wouldn't have enough money for this axe.
Their eyes turned red as they were determined to get this axe.
The bids rose quickly and soon surpassed 50,000 Qi stones.
As soon as the people thought the bidding was over, a voice resounded in everyone's ears.
"55,000 Qi stones " .
As soon as people heard the voice, the noise quietened down.
That was the city lord.
The face of the person who had previously bid had turned ugly.
He has previously thought that no one would be able to compete with him for this axe and that it was already his.
Now, he wasn't so sure.
Even though he was from one of the major families in the city and the city lord wouldn't threaten him, it was still a bad idea to compete with the city lord for an item.
He gritted his teeth and called out one last bid.
" 60,000 Qi stones."
"65,000 qi stones."
The city lord's impassive voice sounded again without delay. It was as of he didn't care about the price of the item.
The man's face fell as he knew he had lost this battle.
He wasn't rich enough to spend that much on a single item.
Since no other bids were made, the item was won by the city lord.
