Auction

As Reed turns to see this new addition, he is met with what he can only describe as the oldest man he has ever seen, but even so, this man's spine is so straight that it looks like he is the tallest person in the world while Reed is looking Lady Shira welcomes the newcomer and invites them to sit "Why Grandmaster Serren how good of you to join us." Serren immediately sat and said,"Anally, I heard that a promising young alchemist has come to auction off his potions. Might this young man be him?" Lady Shira just nodded, and Grandmaster Serren looked like a kid finding a new toy "Well then I'm waiting for that explanation." Reed didn't see any reason not to tell him because actually the process was grandmaster Serren's last gift to their people. Grandmaster Serren was a dedicated alchemist all his life. All his work was the backbone of alchemy as it is today he was and still is a genius. Reed explains the process and even goes a step further by giving actual recipes. Serren has an astonished look on his face and murmured, "So I wasn't wrong." Which told Reed that even now, Serren was already inching to this discovery.

As Serren and Reed talk alchemy, Reed thought Grandmaster Serren would be the best person to bring out the nourishing agent, and so he told him about it, but before he could give him the recipe Serren put up his hand and said "Don't I will not steal your work young man instead I would like you to write down all your recipes as well as the distillation notes and send it all to me with it I will petition the association to name you a grandmaster alchemist and have everything you give me put in as your contribution to the empire I'm shur when those old fossils use it they will agree and then some and anytime the association sells your potions and agents you will get a slice of the proceeds which will come up to a hefty sum when all is said and done so youngster what do you think."

Well, Reed needs the money cultivating is a major money sink, so Reed agrees and turns to his wristwatch, which is more than a watch. it's a computer, a tablet, and an ATM all in one. As he starts writing everything down the lights dim, it looks like it's time for the auction.

Reed continues writing down the recipes, only half listening to the auction he's not really interested in most of the items here. The best stuff can be gotten from other worlds as he writes he tries to make sure not to put in recipes that require other world ingredients how is he supposed to explain that both before and after those ingredients are found after many recipes he does a final check and is satisfied Serren seeing him finish brings his watch over to have everything transferred over then excuses himself by saying he was never here for the auction anyway and leaves. The auction, however, is going on hot. The last items winning bid was a little over 1 million as Reed looks at the next item, his face falls, and he can't be more disinterested. The item is a small round white stone it is called a dragons egg, and it has the ability to allow a second manifestation, but that manifestation is extremely weak, but it allows a qi cultivator to be able to cultivate magic and vice-versa its useless for those that already can dual cultivate but is a very hot item for others this item can sometimes be found in a monsters nest.

After the egg went for a staggering 500 billion (one of the VIPs got it), the next item was Armor now Reed was truly disinterested, but he watched politely so as not to get on anyone's bad side (his new mother and sister were oh and ahing the items you'd think Anally would have already seen everything) the auction continued until everything went black then a spot light shined in the middle of the stage were a woman was now introducing this auctions center piece the potions with a 100% guaranteed breakthrough. the audience was moved, but there were already people saying it couldn't be true. As such, the woman encourages the audience to send someone at the peak of the master rank to prove the products power.

In the end, a relatively older man got on stage and introduced himself. Most of the audience seemed to know him, so they were looking forward to the results, and without any problems, he broke through to the grandmaster rank, which made him break down crying because he finally broke through and he was so happy and after that and telling the man that the potion was on the auction house the bidding for the other 14 vials began and it was a true battle but all 14 were sold to those in the front to middle rows I saw then the other vials went up by the time it got to the king rank vial a few of the VIPs were bidding.

After all that, the true center piece was unveiled a potion with a 50% chance at a breakthrough. Now, there were dirty looks going on everywhere. Everyone wanted the potion, and there would definitely be war. As the bidding started, a man in one of the VIP rooms directly bid over what everyone on the floor could handle, but that didn't stop the others in the VIP rooms. The price was skyrocketing until a woman's voice, both majestic and beautiful, declared her price, and when she bid, everyone went silent like pin drop silent, then the auctioneer said "going once ... twice ... sold to the woman in VIP room #8."

After the final sale, Reed excused himself and went home he didn't need to stick around as the money would be wired to his account after fees and taxes, of course. However, in VIP room #8, a beautiful woman with blonde hair and a warriors' temperament studied the vial in question. Could this really help her breakthrough to the lesser emperor rank well when she gets home she will give it a try because if she can make it to the next rank she will be in charge of her own destiny.
