The sage gem (1)

After a while, she was already standing at the entrance of the grand auction house.

The building was made of luxury materials, a large garden was built at the side of the auction house, every kind of luxury materials were used to decorate the garden and the building.

This was truly a large scale auction house rather than a third-grade auction house.

Rias quickly entered the building to make sure to not miss the auction being held today.

A big board was placed in front of the building which displayed the contents of the grand auction that was being held today.

Rias was able to know about it by seeing the board.

"This is fun..." She grinned and headed towards the receptionist after entering the building.

"Hello ma'am, how may I help you?" The receptionist started with a polite greeting.

"Hello, I am here today to participate in the auction, Can i sell some pills first? I have a few good quality pills, they are all top grade and are good in quantity." Rias also politely greeted her and then stated her purpose for coming to the auction.

"Please wait a moment, I will have to check your items first, if the quantity and quality is good, we will without a doubt provide you the best amount for the itmes." The girl smiled at her.

"Sure, here are the items." Rias waved her hand and took a lot of potions and pills out of her storage rings.

"..." The receptionist lady was shocked upon seeing the top grade 4 star and 3 star pills and potions.

These were all top grade 3-4 star potions and pills, one had to know that these pills were not commonly found and were sold at a hefty price, and Rias had almost more than 30 of these potions and pills, meaning that she was a valuable customer.

The receptionist stood there, dazed by the amount of top grade pills.

Seeing her resction, Rias spoke. "Is anything wrong?" Her question was very direct and made the lady step out of her daze.

"N-no, nothing is wrong. These are top grade 4 star pills so I will have to call out for the manager." The lady slightly stuttered and then walked away from her desk.

Rias stood there, looking at the surroundings as it was not a daily thing for her to join a luxury auction.

After waiting for more than a minute, The reception lady came back with hurried footsteps along with a girl in her twenties.

The girl was wearing luxury clothes and her cultivation level was also good.

"This girl is at the Master peak-level." Rias instantly figured out her cultivation level just by looking at her.

"Hello miss, I am the manager here. I heard that you are here to sell top grade quality pills and potions so I came here quickly." The girl spoke politely to her.

"Oh, I sure am here to sell a few alchemy products. I can sell them here, right?" Rias raised her brows slightly.

"Yes, you can auction any kind of quality products in our auction house, we will decide with the comission right now if you wanna sell." The girl spoke.

"Yeah, I am willing to sell these items as long as the price is well negotiated." Rias replied with a smile on her face.

The girl then invited Rias to her office as it was not polite to keep her standing at the entrance.

Rias followed her to the office and sat on a chair to start negotiating with the manager.

"Now, we should negotiate the comission of the products." The manager spoke first.

"..." Rias nodded and gestured at her to continue speaking.

"We are willing to auction your products in the grand auction as long as we get 10 percent of the sell price." The manager was direct with her words and didn't keep Rias waiting.

"7 percent." Rias stated her opinion as 10 percent seemed a little too much to her.

"8 percent is the limit..." The manager replied her.

"Deal." Rias once again took out the items and placed them all on the table.

"We're happy to work with you, The results wont disappoint you." The manager smiled and waved at the reception lady to take away the items from the table.

Rias also decided to leave as she also had to join the auction right now.

Seeing her leave, the manager stopped her in the middle.

"Ah, may i get to know your name, young lady?" She spoke awkwardly as she had forgot to ask for her name earlier.

"You can call me Rias." Rias answered as soon as the manager asked and then left the office quietly.

"I managed to get in contact with a high level alchemist, My luck is so good..." The manager thought to herself and then again started to do the paperwork.

By this time, 2 years had already passed inside the void made by the blue energy.

Aiden was still silently cultivating in the peaceful environment.

The blue energy smiled at seeing the progress so far that was made by Aiden.

"This boy is doing really good, i wonder how much powerful he can grow into..."

Rias was already inside the grand auction at this time.

She had already bought a lot of herbs which were reauired to concoct some potions.

"Are there any higher bids for this item?" The lady on the stage, displaying the 5 star herb that was required to make a top-grade 6 star potion spoke loudly using a sound amplifying skill.

"145000" Rias rose the bid amount by 10 thousand gold coins, resulting in her win.

"The item is now sold to Miss Emma!" The lady announced loudly.

(Rias was using a fake name as it was not safe for her to reveal her true name here.)

The herb was very precious and this price was really low for a herb as rare as this but there were very few high grade alchemists found in the backward cities so there was no one who dared to bid any further. They didn't want to make a loss out of it as they were here to make profits not losses.

The vip people and the other bidders mocked Rias for her loss of common sense that there were very few high grade alchemists in the whole country, let alone a backward city like the Arcane city.

Rias didn't give a shit about those people and focused on the next item that was being displayed on the stage.

"This is the sage gem which was found in the ancient ruins of lunar city.

This gem is said to be formed by a Chaos Emperor peak level cultivator and it can be used to upgrade ones' cultivation speed permanently..."

After this, the people went crazy, they all thought that this gem was the only item they needed for their sect to be the overlord. Everyon looked at the gem with greedy eyes.

Rias was in a daze at this moment.

"This...
