Grand Auction (Part 2)

Please vote with power stones. If I get 200 power stones this week, I will release 5 bonus chapters.

The manager was at my door within a few minutes, panting. He looked at me, and took a few breaths to stabilize himself.

"Master, you wished to have a credit for the pills? I am here to say that the total cost of the pills will be anywhere between ten thousand and a hundred thousand spirit coins." the manager said.

"Spirit Coins? They must be a more valuable currency than the gold and silver coins. It must be what the cultivators use or whatever." I postulated as I nodded at the manager.

"Do you have a list of all the items that are going on auction? So that I can prepare accordingly." I asked.

"Terribly sorry, master, but we have no such thing. Every item will be special, and a surprise to whoever sees it." the manager shook his head.

"I understand."

The manager left the room, and I was all alone, looking down at the auction. It was just getting started as well. I had a wonderful view, and could see what was going on with exceptional clarity. A woman dressed in a red, provocating dress walked onto the stage. The moment that she entered the stage, a few people cheered. Even I could feel my blood rushing when I saw how much of her legs were exposed.

"These auction tactics, I just cannot take them." I shook my head.

"Greetings honorable guests! Welcome to the Grand Auction of the Shianxi Auction House. This is going to be the most interesting auction in a while, so I hope that you brought your wallets. Without any further ado, let us take the first item. This is a tusk of the white tiger elephant. It is a second order monster beast, and it can be used to craft even a heaven ranked weapon in the hands of the right weapon craftsman. Starting bid will be 3000 spirit coins." the woman said.

"3000 spirits coins." a voice immediately came from the front seats.

"5000 spirit coins."

"6000"

"10000 spirit coins!" a voice came from one of the rooms adjacent to my own. I glanced with surprise. This was a voice that I recognized. It was that arrogant man who pushed me around.

"10000 going once, going twice, sold! To the guest in Private Room number 9" the woman smiled. She then took out the next item. The auction was interesting. I understood a lot about how the world functioned, just looking at all the mythical items that came out of it. There were so many wonders, pills, and weapons that were interesting. But all of these did not matter much to me. I had the system for that.

"And this item is a special one. A master brought this rock here because he did not understand what it was. No attack could break it, and no divine sense could go through it. No one knows what it is. The mysterious rock, starting price of 100 spirit coins."

I waited for a minute. There was no one bidding.

Ping!

System urges Host to buy this item!

The system suddenly said. At the same time, the auctioneer was about to throw in the towel.

"It looks like no one is interested in the mysterious stone." she smiled bitterly.

"100 spirit coins!" I shouted with my hoarse voice. I changed it so that I wouldn't be in the same situation I was in before.

The crowd looked in the direction of my room, and even the auctioneer looked surprised. She then nodded and raised her hammer.

"Going once, Going twice-"

"200" the man from the Cai family interfered.

"Damn that prick. I almost had it." I ground my teeth.

"300"

"400"

"1000" I finally had it. This was something that the system recommended, and I just could not leave it be. Even if it was a lot of money, it was money that the system gave me anyways, for all intents and purposes. I was throwing all my money, betting it all on my system.

"It seems that I am not as extravagant as the guest in room 1, to spend so much money on this decorative piece. I will let you have it." the young man laughed.

"Going once, going twice, sold! To the guest in room 1!" the auctioneer shouted. My mouth twitched.

"The asshole just wanted me to lose money." I realized.

"The next item is an interesting one. This is the highest grade Qi Condensation Pill that this auction house has ever seen! With no impurities whatever, taking this one pill will almost guarantee that you will increase a level by the martial gathering. For all the young masters, this is the best item in the auction!" the auctioneer shouted. With this, the crowd burst into talks.

"They know how to market the product alright." I smiled.

"Starting bid will be 10000 spirit coins!" She shouted.

I almost coughed. 10000 spirit coins for one of the pills? I thought that I would get that for all of them combined. Or else, I would have bid on a few other interesting items. This was truly unfair.

"20000 spirit coins. I hope that everyone show some face to the Cai family and leave this pill to us." the young man said from his room.

"You messed with me, I will mess with you." I smiled.

"30000. I have no care for the Cai family. Do not think that you are the only powerful ones in this city." I said with my fake voice.

"40000. I hope that the Cai family does not use its force like this. This is an auction, not a show of strength. If it was, then you wouldn't hold a candle to us." an old voice came from another room. It was another prestigious guest.

"50000 coins!" another voice came up. With this, everyone went silent.

"Going once, going twice, sold! To the guest in room 2." the auctioneer said.
