X Auction

Two and a half hours later.

In the streets of the city a boy was walking with two girls hugging him, winning glances of envy from some young noblemen, but hearing what happened to the thief before at the cake shop, so they stayed back, while some girls were even looking at him with bright eyes.

Even in noble families only a few were blessed by a God or has some strength because cultivation without a bless like a mortal or spirit cultivation is much more difficult so they depend on potions to break through to higher realms and without cultivators the entire continent would be besieged by beasts in a few hours.

So every noble family to absolutely not disrespect cultivators even more the Divine Cultivators.

One hundred years ago, there was a story about a king who killed a Divine Druid of his own kingdom because of a woman, and this mage's patron god Ares, was infuriated with this king and destroyed the entire kingdom and all who lived in it, only the others Divine Cultivators were spared and after this everyone was scared to kill a blessed one.

...

After walking for a bit, Layla pointed to a tall building in front of them "See, this is the Midas auction house. The largest auction house in the city and a branch of Thunder God Kingdom's richest family, the Midas Family. The Midas family was extremely ancient and had been a quite powerful force in kingdom for many centuries already. Their networks were definitely impressive and some rumors even claimed that the Midas family had close ties with Kingdom's royalty."

Then Lucy said "We still have time, so let's see if your father already arrived." A few minutes later, they saw a middle age man waiting at the entrance.

Seeing his father, Elijah shouted. "Father! I'm here" hearing his son's shout Henry turned and saw Elijah and two girls glued to him.

The two sisters gently bowed and introduced themselves. "Hello uncle, we were Layla and Lucy from the Miller Family"

Henry looked pleased to see them. "So you two are the youngest daughters of that old man, i was talking with him right now." "Dad was here!? Sorry little brother, but your sisters has to go" And they quickly ran away.

Henry looked at his son with an evil grin. "So you already met the Miller Family's Twin Little Devils?"

"..." Elijah didn't understand his father's meaning and Seeing his son didn't understand his words, he continued. "You don't need to understand, one day you know what i mean. Let's go now, the auction is beginning."

As they entered the auction house, Elijah felt an unknown sense focus on him, then a silver light lit his eyes and nullified that energy, and looking to the left, he saw an elderly man with his eyes focused on him and making a shocked expression.

...

Inside the auction house.

Elijah sat down beside his father and glanced at the beauty in the middle of the hall. With his observations, he realized that most of the people were here for her and not the items that were being auctioned.

Midas Auction House's auctioneer: Natalie Lake. Even though she's been in the city for less than a year, she was already an extremely famous beauty within Green Lake City and her mature charm attracted her a lot.

Elijah moved his gaze again. This time, he surprisingly realized that the Cooper town two biggest families, Family"s leaders: Violet Reyes and Theodore Miller were here!

...

As the auction proceeded, his father bought an enchanted hammer with the effect of paralysis and a Dimensional Parchment for him. And some other things like a special potion called Viagra that Elijah doesn't understand, and his father did not explain the use for it.

And even himself only had about seven years old, he still was able to see Natalie was a not only a beautiful face but also an expert at making the crowd increase the bids. Her charming smiles would make the price of the item go up exponentially. In addition, every time the price was raised, she would send a charming smile to the person who just called out the latest price and they would immediately forget their pain of overpaying for the item.

"Hehe, everyone, It's now that the real action starts. I believe, that you all would be interested in it." After auctioning the latest item, Natalie suddenly paused and said aloud towards the audience. With a wave of her hand, a waitress quickly brought up a jade plate and in the middle of the plate was a while jade bottle.

"This 3rd Rank Special Potion." With her delicate hand picking up the jade bottle, Natalie's charming voice calmed the auctioneers for an instant. But soon, the yells became even louder, in the entire continent, the potions refined by Alchemists were the most sought after items.

"This potion is named Body Changing Potion. It is only effective to those below the Fourth Realm. With this potion you can transform yourself with other people, all you need is mix your target's hair with the Potion and drink it. Hehe, if you want to turn into your rival and pass the night with his wife, this is perfect for you! The bottom price is three thousand gold coins and every bid must be at least of five hundred gold coins"

Her attractive mouth lightly breathed the words and numbed the minds of half the crowd.

"3000!" Right when Natalie's voice stopped, a person yelled out a price.

"3500!" Another price came right after the first bid had been called.

...

In a couple of seconds the price quickly went up and it got to 9,000!

The price went up again, but soon, the voices died out. At that time, a middle-aged woman sitting in the first row lightly said: "20,000!"

After calling out that price, the final voices in the auction died out. Some of the hopeful looked towards that cold-looking woman, but could only sit back down, disappointed. They didn't have the wealth to be in a price war with the Reyes Family.

Seeing that no one responded, Natalie was smart and lightly tapped her small hammer on the table, "Since no one has raised the price, this Potion will go to Reyes Family leader, Violet Reyes!" signalling that the this 3rd rank potion had found its new owner.

"Hehe, next, we'll be auctioning the final item!" Placing the jade bottle back within the plate, Natalie waved her hand and the light in the hall dimmed. Bending down, she took out a silver plate and in the middle of the plate was a Ancient Book.

The book was slightly glowing white and with the reflections off of the silver plate, it was cast in a mysterious light.

"Spirit Body Manual: Absolute Ice Body!"
