Worth of An Item

 Soon, the blood of the Blood Vulture reached the record, for now, a bid of 5000 High-Grade Genesis Gold.

 And that is just one item, he still has 3 more in Tier 9, followed by 4 more at the Spirit Realm. "Looks like we are going to be swimming in our riches," he could not help but cackle in delight.

 "Next, is also a vial of blood, but instead of belonging to a Blood Vulture, it belonged to a Bone-Devouring Hyena. And yes, this beast also reached the peak of Tier 9, but instead of creating a pseudo-domain, it was able to form a Pseudo-Spirit Body, so the vitality of the blood is still fresh,"

-x-

 "Contact my father and ask him if I could procure more fun-"

 "The master had already sent a servant to go to this room, young master," his entourage told him. A big smile forms on his face.

 "To think 2 beasts, both reach the peak of Tier 9 and could even step into the Spirit Realm, someone must have been blessing me,"

 -x-

 "Atchoo!"

 "Are you sure you are okay?" Miriam asked in worry. After all, it is almost impossible for cultivators, especially the stronger ones to be afflicted by diseases.

 Poisons or curses might have some effect and it all depends on its casters. For Ryker to sneeze twice, she could not help but think the worst.

 "Don't worry, besides, if I was poisoned or something like that, I would have been in a much worse spot," Ryker reminded her, making her blush as she thought of how it is impossible for the poison to only cause sneezing and no other symptoms.

 "And sold at the grand price of 6000 High-Grade Genesis Gold," the same person who bought the Blood Vulture's blood was also the one who bought the Bone Devouring Hyena's blood, that is what Ryker could see.

 "And now, for the two crown jewels of the night, for this part of the auction, I hold," the woman said.

 "Let's bring the two last items on Grade 9 to the stage," two glass exhibits were carried onto the stage.

 Being transparent, Ryker could see the plume of the Alpha Blood Vulture and the bone-plating of the Alpha Bone Devouring Hyena.

 "Truth be told, the four items, starting from the blood of the Blood Vulture, were sold by the same person. This plume also belongs to the same Blood Vulture whose blood was sold before. The same thing for the bone-plating.

 So you can tell how valuable these two items really are, can't you? After all, these two, are materials that came from pseudo-Spirit Beasts,"

 Hearing this, the auction goes wild. After all, while there are a lot of materials sold in the Grand Auction, it is rare to see something belonging to a pseudo-Spirit Beast, as it is almost as rare as the Spirit Beast itself.

 So, it is unprecedented for 4 materials to appear at the same time.

 Sophia gazed at a certain room. While the profit from Tier 9 Materials could not be compared to the Spirit Grade Materials, it still profits and would likely attract more people into her auction house.

 A pained moan reminded her of the presence of another, namely the foolish servant who spread the rumor of the young man being her boy toy. She had beaten her up, and currently using her as a rug.

 And if her mood is good, then she will go from rug to chair, until the manager is satisfied. After all, rumors are almost impossible to remove once it was spread.

 Thankfully, her other servants were more tactful and kept it to themselves and did not speak about it, except for those that were already in the know. 

 Oh, who she was kidding, she wanted to punish all of her servants but it would cause the operation of the Auction House to be stopped and she would not have that.

 She settled on punishing the servant who started it all. What is a good punishment for this foolish servant of hers?

-x-

 "Now the audience learned the plume and bone-plating come from the same pseudo-Spirit Beast, let being the auction. We will be starting with the plume, the starting price is at 1000 High-Grade Genesis Gold,"

 Despite having the same starting price as the previous items, the rate it soars is greater, reaching the auction price of the blood of Bone Devouring Hyena in 3 minutes.

 It soon stopped at the prize of 10000 High-Grade Genesis Gold, which is seriously a lot, as no one in his group had started to consume Grade 9 resources just yet.

He was looking forward to the prize of the bone-plating, maybe it could go even higher than the plume.

-x-

 "And sold at the price of 10000 High-Grade Genesis Gold," he expected the price to not be so different but to think the price for the two different materials, from different pseudo-Spirit Beast, was the same, it was a surprise.

 "Don't be shocked," a voice comes out from behind her, one he recognizes as belonging to a certain manager.

 "Manager Sophia, what are you doing here?" he asked in surprise. After all, there is no reason for her to come into his room.

 "I would like to give you the money you earned," a storage ring was put on his palm. A quick check confirmed the amount was correct, with some being taken as commission.

 "Thank you. I probably should leave," the manager raised her brow. 

 "Why should you leave just yet? After all, there is still some item that belonged to you," the servant, who was already shocked stupid by the presence of the manager of the auction house, almost fainted right there.

 After all, how could a mere Genesis Lake expert procure spirit-grade materials?

 "Yes, the tiger skin," this time, the servant did faint. After all, she had seen the tiger skin herself and knew it was something from an elderly Spirit Giant Tiger. But, even so, the Spirit Giant Tiger in question was believed to be equal to a late-stage Noble expert.

 To kill such a beast, it require a lot of planning and sacrifice, the reason why the servant fainted.

 "Send her to her room," the manager ordered the servant whom she had just beaten up. The servant in question looked like nothing had happened to her, but only because Sophia decided to use some of her healing pills on the said servant.

 She is still not done torturing the servant just yet. In fact, she wondered if the young man could be the one to torture her in her stead.

 Ryker suddenly shivered, the gaze from Sophia sending mixed signals to him.
