Sunset Auction (2)

The lady on stage wore a black suit, shirt and pants with a black blazer with one button done. She had her hair tied back and wore black heels. She had a seductive smile as she spoke. Leon was sure it was Faye, Willem's assistant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Please excuse us for the short delay. Now let's not waste anymore time and get right into it. For the first item we have a set of thirty body strengthening pills each of peak grade quality. You all should know that body strengthening pills help develop not only your muscles but a beasts muscles too. These peak grade pills have been made by Master Sandino and are known for having the additional effect forming spiritual blood."

Form behind the lady a table with ten bottles was pushed forward by a fiery fairy. Each bottle had three pills of a misty golden colour.

Leon wasn't as interested in the pills effect anymore. After forging weapons and learning formless aura his body had been purified by energy. It was much stronger. These pills wouldn't have too big of an effect.

In the end Leon bid only for one of the bottles and eventually won it.

"The next item, an orange soul fire tigers blood. This blood still retains most of its energy as it was stored immediately after the tiger died."

Leon was interested at first but then after seeing the bottle of blood he lost interest. It was just low grade blood of an orange level beast.

Time past nothing caught Leon's attention until the tenth item.

"The third last item, thousand year old Fire tree wood, of pristine condition, staring bid 10,000 gold coins"

"11,000 gold coins."

"12,000 gold coins."

"13,000 gold coins."

Leon raised his hand, speaking in a deeper voice he said "20,000 gold coins." He knew that was a bit higher then what most people were willing to bid.

The few VIP seats were surprised, they wondered who he was and why was his voice so young. They had already found it strange to see a new VIP and for him to be this young. They all speculated his identity.

Mr Tor was in the balcony with his master. Mr Tor said "Master I think that's him, they both have a similar voice."

The middle age man looked towards Leon. He then said "I can't see through that boy. Let's meet him after the auction and invite him to the Blacksmith association."

"Going once, twice. And finally thrice, for a 20,000 gold coins the fire tree wood is for the man in VIP room three."

The next item was brought up. It was a beautiful golden crown with five points and engravings. It gave out a strong energy of the metal element. All the VIPs were interested, Mr Tor even stood up in shock. Leon had also been a little surprised when seeing the list. The auctioneer chimes in.

"This is an elemental beast equipment naturally formed by the a king gold ore. It has been tested that any beast that wears this will at least have a ten percent increase in strength of metal types ability."

The hall was already filled with gasps and awe. Many people conversing with each other.

The lady smiled, she then said "it also had the ability to increase the rate of energy absorbed during cultivtion by five percent."

Everyone stoped talking and stared at the host wondering weather she was joking or not. The ability to increase the rate of energy absorbed was the best ability you could get in a weapon. It not only increased the cultivation speed of the Beast but also the summoner. As beast and summoner could share energy. This made it much more valuable.

Many people already started screaming out bids without waiting for the auctioneer.

"50,000 gold!"

"60,000 gold!"

"70,000 gold"

Leon was here for the next item, something this valuable was useless to someone who didn't even have a beast. He just watched as people fought for it.

Hans shouted "100,000 gold!"

The old man Darius followed "150,000 gold."

Mr Tor master said "160,000 gold."

The one Leon had suspected was a traveler stood up and said "190,000 gold. I hope my friends here will let me buy it. I, Antonio Goldman of the Goldman clan, traveled all the way from the metal continent in search for an equipment for my beast. This is perfect, so please do me this favour and let me have it."

Leon felt today was filled with surprises. He didn't know Antonio but he was familiar with the Goldman clan. It was a royal clan in the Metal continent. He didn't have a good relationship with them as most things in this world. He remembered the Goldman Clan as they had successfully captured and sealed him in his past life. It was the first time Leon felt true hate in this world.

"Those bastards not only did they seal me they sold me to the Soul Scryer clan." Leon clenched his hand and tried his hardest to hold himself back. That Goldman was at least Master summoner level. He hadn't even started cultivating. Any thoughts of a fight would be moronic. He took a few deep breaths and settled down.

The crown was eventually won for 190,000 gold to the Goldman.

The auctioneer looked satisfied with the price and smirked. "Now everyone the last item is something newly added on to the list. A ."

She took out a small case from her spatial ring. The case was a luxurious black. She opened it. pop. A red jewel shined like a star. It was in an oval shape and placed in the center of the box.

This was the item Leon had wanted most after going through the list, The fire prism soul Jem. It was a rare Gem found in mines of fire ore. It was the condensation of pure fire energy and was perfect for evolving beast. Leon knew it was his gem.

The commotion wasn't as big as it was for the crown but it was much more competitive as a town of fire cultivators, everyone wanted it.

The price was quickly raised to a million gold. Just as Leon was about to bid. A man pushed open the door to the hall and announced "200,000 gold." The man wore a fluttering gown similar to pace but it had Clan Head instead of young head.

Leon was about to bid but seeing the Clan head he got a headache. More memories awakened. He remembered most of his childhood. In The tower he had spent training under the Clan head. The clan head had raised him like a son and had been more of a parent then his own parents. He gave up on the gem and thought of a better plan.

A laughter could be heard resounding through the hall. It was the man in a VIP seat wearing a blood red blood. "Harlan you really know how to make an entrance. I'm bidding 210,000 gold."

Looking at the Clan head Leon was sure he didn't have anymore money on him. Leon could only sigh then thought "this guy should be an elder from the Bloodling clan. In my last life I had heard form the servants gossiping that the clan head had dominatingly walked in and won the bid. So this Bloodling clan elder should have spent the hundred thousand on the wood I bought so he has enough money now to continue bidding. But this should be his max."

Leon snaps his finger and a person walks in "how can I help you sir?"

"Go tell the Flamesmith Clan head that I'll give him 20,000 gold to win the bid for the jewel. Tell him I'm doing it cause I don't like the Bloodling clan and the elder is just holding a front he has bid all the money he had right now." He then gave him a spatial bag with the money.

The man left and was seen walking to the clan head he then whispered something to him and gave him the bag. The Clan head then bidded "220,000 gold."

The Bloodling Elder looked annoyed but wasn't surprised, he took solace in the fact that he lost because he didn't bring enough money from the Bloodling Clan or he could have easily bought it.

No one else bidded again and then the gem was won by the Clan head just like his past life. Leon got his items left the balcony and went to find Willem Gold who was behind the stage.
