Chapter 298: First Few Item Sales

" Welcome to the Pink Cloud Auction House. I am your auctioneer and host for the day, Yu Min," the lady in pink spoke on top of the stage.

"I hope all of you are doing good on this fine day. We have a massive catalog of items we have on sale today. For those who already know what is coming up, you must be excited."

"For those who haven't, please bear with me, everything will be revealed in due time," the lady named Yu Min said with a smile.

She turned to the side and nodded. A group of staff members walked onto the stage with item covers in pink cloth. The audience tried to figure out what it was, but it was in the shape of a box and was thus impossible to tell.

Yu Min walked up to the item and pulled away the pink cloth to reveal the box. No one could really see what it was, so they waited for the lady to start speaking.

The lady slowly reached into the box and brought out a small bottle.

"Pill?" Alex thought, but it couldn't be. The bottle was just too big for it. The crowd started murmuring and the lady decided to speak.

"The first item being auctioned today is this Spirit Wine, made by one of the greatest winemakers of the Cardinal City if not the entire Crimson Empire."

"This spirit wine is said to be able to heal minor injuries and even give you some advancement in cultivation as well."

"It can also get a True realm expert drunk in just 3 sips. If you've ever disliked the fact that you couldn't get drunk anymore, here is your chance."

"The bid will start at 80 spirit stones and the minimum bid can only be 1 spirit stone. Please start," Yu Min said.

"81 spirit stone."

"83 spirit stone."

"84 spirit stone."

People started bidding in droves. It was only the people at the lower hall that bid, and none of the people.

Alex was in his room a little surprised at how much the people were bidding for the wine.

"Is it because it can help them in cultivation and healing… or because it can get them drunk?" he asked himself and looked down at the crowd.

"Yeah totally because it can get them drunk," he thought and laughed to himself.

The bid went for a little longer until the man at one of the VIP rooms bid 3 True spirit stones and no one outbid it. It seemed the wine was nice, but not worth that much to most people.

"The spirit wine goes to the guest at room N5 for 300 spirit stones," the lady said and hit a wooden board with a gavel she had taken out at some point.

The staff came forward and took away the item as another group brought along another item. This time it was another item covered in a cloth, but it wasn't a box.

Instead, the item looked slightly circular in feature. The lady Yu Min walked forward and pulled up the cloth revealing a white egg with small black splotches on its shell.

"This is the egg of an Emerald Winged Lizard. As many of you might know, the Emerald Winged Lizard is a very rare beast to find even in the southern forest."

"It has very high chance of reaching the True Realms and very, very tiny chances of reaching the Saint realm. Since it's an egg, you can get it attached to you and very easily bond with it."

"So, we are starting the bid at 100 spirit stones with the minimum bid being at least 1 spirit stone. Begin," Yu Min said as he hit her hammer.

"Another beast huh? Those seem to be quite popular in these auction houses. Although, I can't complain. They really are quite great," Alex thought as he remembered how strong Pearl was.

However, he also knew that Pearl was an exception to all of these and probably had a guaranteed chance to enter the saint realm, just like his mother. "I just need to find a way to speed up his cultivation," Alex said.

The bid for the egg continued at a high rate. Anyone with a brain would bid for a beast that could easily reach the True realm.

In the end, the people had to stop bidding cause the bid was getting too high. Yu Min did the countdown and ended the auction for the egg.

" The final bid is 600 spirit stones. The egg will go to the guest in room D4," Yu Min announced.

Once again the staff members swapped the items.

"D4?… isn't that directly above mine?" Alex thought. He looked at the other rooms outside of his windows and could see the names.

His own room was N4. Since there was 20 lettered room each with 10 individual names to themselves, D4 was directly above N4.

'I wonder who is staying there? Some kind of sect leader or elder?' Alex wondered.

The next item on the list was announced. It was a Common Heaven-grade sword that had decent sharpness and weight to it. It could be used by any sword user without any drawbacks.

The sword was auctioned for 110 spirit stones and it went up until a man in room J7 won it for 250 spirit stones. Unfortunately for the auctioneers, this one didn't go as high as they wanted it to.

The next item being sold on the list was a cultivation method. Alex wasn't interested in it first, but when Yu Min said that it was a Cultivation Method for a true realm user, his interest was caught.

'Should I get it?' he wondered. However, he wasn't in the True realm yet and this would be like putting the carts before the horse.

'I need to reach the True realm first before I worry about Cultivation methods. Besides, this is an Earth-grade one. Maybe the Tiger sect has a higher one,' Alex thought. In the end, he decided to give up on it.

The Cultivation method was sold to a person from the hall down below for 360 spirit stones.
