The Rise Of Purple Phoenix 21 The Auction

The auction house was a huge auditorium like building. With seats available in rows. Above the seats were VIP cabins. They were shielded view from other people sitting downstairs.

So, no one saw who is in it. Lloyd reaches the cabin prepared for his clan. He sat down and look around to search for his brother.

When he returned to the inn, he didn't find Derek. Lloyd thought he left for auction.

"Where the h.e.l.l is he? Don't tell me that he totally forgot about auction" Lloyd looked around and watched the people enter. The hall got filled as more people entered.

After a while, the main door closed and in a few moments auction will start.

Before leaving, Alder gave him money to buy things he wants at the auction but all that money was with Derek. he left to enjoy his time with his girlfriend.

After a while, the lights dimmed. The spotlight focused on the stage as a lady appeared on the stage. She wore a red dress which exposed her curves.

Lloyd could hear swallowing of saliva from the youngsters sitting closer at the front.

"thank you all for coming to today's auction. I am called Cia. I will be presiding today's auction" cia said in a cute way and smiled.

"oh"

"oh"

"oh"

He could hear sounds released for the youngsters and some of them even had red veins appeared in the eyes, ready to jump on her and do with her.

Lloyd could even feel his own feelings almost go out of control seeing her.

"this vixen" Lloyd cursed her.

'she must have trained by some s.e.xual technique to charm males' Lloyd thought.

If he was a pure brat like his brother. He could have been tempted by her.

"we have collected myriad items from all over the country and even got a cultivation method recovered from a hidden tomb in the great forest by the west of the country"

The auction started myriad items appeared and when an item which got less price. She would wink cutely at the young masters of the clan to buy them. Then they would start a contest among themselves to impress her.

Lloyd was waiting for any skill book which would suit him.

"the next item is a skill book called Alter art. It is a transformation skill used to change one's body structure and become another person temporarily" cia said and showed an ancient book to the audience.

Hearing this Lloyd's got interested. If he had this skill, he could use purple phoenix art when in trouble without causing other to find out his ident.i.ty.

"the starting price is 200 royal gold and each increment should be 5 royal gold," cia said.

"205"

"220"

"250"

"300"

The price started to increase and it reached 500 royal gold before stopping.

"6 low-rank spirit stone" Lloyd shouted from his cabin.

As everyone heard it. The hall quieted down. They all looked at the VIP cabin to find who is the person bidding with spirit stones.

Spirit stone is a form of currency main used by cultivators. They could use spirit stone to help in cultivation or exchange them for other resources.

Spirit stone is divided into many types depending on the amount and purity of qi present in them.

A low-rank spirit stone could be valued more than 100 royal gold.

Middle-rank spirit stone could be valued more than 1000 low-rank spirit stones.

Before leaving he took spirit stone his father gave him to cultivate to previous Lloyd. He couldn't absorb and cultivate back then. Alder could give him spirit stone at regular intervals which got piled up.

In this country, spirit stone is low in quant.i.ty. They only processed by top clans. Even in genius in the top clan couldn't get his hands-on spirit stone. This explains how much Alder loved his son.

When spirit stone was brought in to the auction. n.o.body cared anymore. If they want to continue bidding they must produce spirit stones which they thought it was a loss for this skill.

"6 spirit stones go once"

"twice"

"sold," cia said while looking happy. She could get a bigger commission for this sale.

After it, the auction continued and his item reached him. Lloyd paid with spirit stones and kept the book.

The items which later auctioned increased in their rarity as auction progressed. The hall heated up with bids.

"now the last and final item. It is a cultivation technique called yin yang tactics. It was found in an ancient tomb in the great forest. It is based on fire and ice elementals. It was slightly damaged due to its age" cia said while showing a book which was very old and could be seen damaged in some parts
