The auctioneer came on stage moments later. She was a gorgeous girl in her early 20's wearing a red silk tight dress that paired with that delicate pale face of hers. She was filled with endless temptation. It was a clever strategy by the Mu Clan. With such a stunning girl, they could easily heat up one's mind, and cause bidders to overpay for items.

"Dear, honorable guests. In this auction, our Mu Clan Auction House has prepared lots of treasures. Many were obtained from ruins. Some were brought in by secluded Wizards and others by poachers. We hope that everyone will like them!" The girl's voice spread around, as enticing as a mermaid's song.

"The first auction item is from the Trinidad ruins! It's a spirit orb. Which was found inside a containment box, the spirit is a fire lizard with a magical cultivation rank of 1 star silver. The starting price is one hundred gold coins!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished describing the item, someone already raised their plate.

"One hundred gold coins!"

"One hundred fifty gold coins!"

"Two hundred gold coins!"

"Three hundred gold coins!"

….

"One thousand gold coins!"

After reaching one thousand no one else bet since it was still only the first item.

"One thousand gold coins going once!"

"One thousand gold coins going twice!"

"One thousand gold coins going thrice!"

"Sold! Congratulations to the gentleman with the blue blazer for successfully bidding on this spirit orb."

"One thousand gold coins?! I didn't realize they'd immediately start off with gold coins" replied William amazed

"Well normally the prices don't start so high but today is the one time of the month where they bring out their rarest items" replied Gregor

"I might not get to buy anything if already the first item was sold for so much" thought to himself William

"The next auction item is a mysterious blue bracelet! Everyone please have a look!" The auctioneer slowly took up the bracelet, "This bracelet's body is glittering and translucent, completely flawless. It's a water element spell amplifier. It amplifies the water spells casted by two ranks! It's perfect for those who cultivate the water element! This was brought back by a Gold rank Beast cultivator from the Atlantean ruins. The Atlantean ruins are the most dangerous and the wealthiest ruins around. The treasures from those ruins are all of high quality."

"This bracelet's starting price is five hundred gold coins!" The girl's voice sounded throughout the whole area.

"Finally the good stuff!"

"But the price is so expensive. They actually asked for five hundred gold coins!"

"That bracelet. Selling it for five hundred gold coins isn't that a bit exaggerated!"

Whispered the people in the bottom seats in the back rows.

However, some of the wealthy families in the front rows already began bidding.

"Five hundred gold coins!"

"Five hundred and fifty gold coins!"

...

"Six hundred gold coins!"

"Four thousand gold coins!" Yelled out one of the bidders in the VIP section. The whole hall immediately went silent.

After a long time no one called for a higher price.

"Lord Florence bids four thousand gold coins, is there anyone offering higher?" asked the beautiful auctioneer with her clear voice.

"Eight thousand gold coins!" yelled another VIP member across the room, highly raising the price.

William was shocked by the unnecessarily excessive raise of price for a simple bracelet.

"Lord Has bids eight thousand gold coins, is there anyone willing to raise?" The beautiful auctioneer asked in a loud voice.

William inhaled a cold air, a little dumbfounded. This price is already not what he can bear. That was a whole eight thousand gold coins!

"Eight thousand gold coins going once, Eight thousand gold coins going twice, Eight thousand gold coins coins going thrice, sold!" The beautiful auctioneer's hammer landed heavily.

Eight thousand gold coins, this was eight hundred thousand silver coins. Definitely a price that would make one become excited.

"The next item is a magic item a silver necklace! It contains a stone soldier that matches the magical cultivation of the wearer. It was one of the items given to us today by one of the four Wizards of knowledge..." said the beautiful auctioneer

William suddenly became interested.

"Could it be..." whispered William as he looked at Nin Li

"It's not him, he doesn't participate in these sorts of things. It must be one of the other three." replied Nin Li

The crowd immediately began to whisper

"Did she say one of the four Wizard's?"

"And she said it's only one of the items"

"How lucky are we?"

"These guys seem to be acting too excited, or maybe that old fart is actually someone important" William thought to himself awkwardly

"The starting price is three thou-" The beautiful auctioneer was interrupted before she could finish.

"Five thousand gold coins!"

"Ten thousand gold coins!"

"Twelve thousand gold coins!"

"Fifteen thousand gold coins!"

The bidding stopped there, many of the other bidders in the VIP section had reluctant faces.

" Fifteen thousand gold coins going once, fifteen thousand gold coins going twice, fifteen thousand gold coins going thrice, sold!"
