54 Auction (1/2)
\”Our next item is a spatial artifact found in the ruins in one of the oldest civilizations during an exploration. After a week of tests, we can absolutely say this spatial artifact can contain life!\” announced Cui Pang as the bunny masked woman held it up.
\”To prove it's authenticity we'll do a demonstration using this grey-eyed wolf!\”
The bunny masked woman inserted her qi into the artifact which allowed the grey-eyed wolf to enter the spatial artifact. After waiting for five minutes, she brought the wolf back out onto the stage. Everyone in the audience awed in astonishment, muttering over such a spectacular artifact. Some ever showed a trace a greed, carefully observing for any bidders.
\”We have attempted to see if we can send in a human but it only allowed beast type beings to live within the space. Inside the spatial artifact is a small paradise, around hundreds of cubic meter of liveable land with vegetation, water and air. These beasts can live within indefinitely as long as you are able to feed them periodically. Of course, if they could fit inside this small domain. In most cases, we cannot fathom the mystery on how it is constructed as this is why we chose to auction it. Do we have any bidders?\”
\”1.5 MILLION SOLS!\” exclaimed a male voice within the audience.
\”We have 1.5 million! Anyone else?\”
\”5 MILLION SOLS!\”
\”18 MILLION SOLS!\”
\”78 MILLION SOLS!\”
. . . . . . . . . . . .
\”78 MILLION SOLS!\”
\”We have 78 million sols from one of our esteemed private guests! Any bidders?\”
A wave of silence pervaded the audience, none of them had the audacity to go against someone from the private rooms or else they would find themselves meeting Grandma Meng right after the auction. There were many a time during the past, certain well-known individuals would disappear an hour after the auction, never to be heard nor seen again.
\”Sold!\” exclaimed Cui Pang nodding his head in excitement.
78 million sols was the highest bid so far after the last seventeen items that had been auction. Although spatial items were common, those that contained a small paradise was truly rare, sadly not many would want to have a spatial artifact with restrictions and of unknown origin. Just having it sold for that much was quite good enough, if it could contain any type of beings while including legendary functions, many would slaughter gruesomely just to have it.

Silver heard a few knocks coming from his door. Without thinking much, he stood up and walked towards the door to open it. A petite and young woman stood there as he held the door open as she held a small wooden chest.
\”One of our guests would like to present this to you,\” informed the young woman.
\”They wish that you accept it as a form of an apology.\”
\”En. Thank you, tell them I value the present,\” instructed Silver using his divine sense to inspect the wooden chest. Within the chest, a green spatial ring laid on a small silk pillow. The green spatial had intricate and detailed mountains inscribed onto it as it gave a faint greenish glow that could only be discernible by him.
He then grabbed the wooden chest, nodding at the young woman with a smile of acceptance and closed his door. Walking toward his chair, he sat on it and began to inspect the spatial ring more thoroughly.
To his surprise there was a strong seal within the details of the mountain. Using his qi, he broke the seal with little resistance. He felt quite satisfied with the present he had obtained after giving a second and more thorough inspection. The world within the ring became majestic and vast, spreading out for hundreds of thousands of miles of vegetation. Not only that, the ring began automatically collecting vast amounts of qi as it poured into the ring like a cascading waterfall into a large riverbed..
Before anyone could sense it, Silver created a restriction around him as the ring continuously absorbed the qi. With the seal broken, it's true abilities took flight, allowing any beings to live within. However, it needed to store vast amount of qi to truly allow the add-ons to take effect.
'Hmm, it's name is Green Peak... who knew this ring which I thought was insignificant was actually a true spatial treasure. Now I don't need to worry and just slowly refine it,' thought Silver chuckling out loud. Without further ado, he placed a small drop of his blood on it. A tiny green light devoured the blood, instantaneously becoming Silver's sole ring. Seconds after absorbing the blood, the ring lost it's glow as if it were just a normal ring.
\”Did he get it?\” asked Wang Bo staring at a young and petite woman before him.
\”Yes, he thanks you for giving him a valuable present,\” answered the young woman respectfully.
\”En. Good, good. You can go now.\”
\”Thank you, esteemed guest.\”
Wang Bo smiled delightfully, even though a spatial artifact as such was useful to him, it was rather limited after he inspected it. But, if he had the experiences and incredible perception like Silver, he would never give such an invaluable treasure away.
\”Next is our final item, concluding this month's auction! Although rare, we do bid slaves of quality and value. We have two very special humanoid beings. Although they may seem like mortal children, they are young and very rare half-beasts that are highly sought after. We would like to sell them individually but they must go as a pair based on the information given by our client.\”
Hearing the announcement, Silver felt piqued by these so called half-beasts children. Without much thought, he decided to linger a bit longer to see these so-called rare half beasts. As he stared at the stage, both masked beauties brought a cage with two small kids in it.
One appeared skinny boy and malnourished. His body was ridden with horrifying scars as if he had been beaten and tortured for years. But within his eyes, a fierce expression of resent and wrath emanated. For such a frail looking youth, he was quite menacing to the crowd.
Behind him was a female youth who showed eyes of resignation. It seemed she was a tad more nourished than the male youth, as she clung to his arms in fear. Her clothes were covered in dirt, as so did her face. It appeared that the male youth had been taking the beatings, as she had no scars and bruises.
With a glimpse, something within his heart and soul told him to buy them. It was as if a connection that could not be broken from the river of time. This time he didn't want to vocalize his voice as he grabbed a transmission jade nearby his chair, that was placed on a small table. With no time wasted, he sent his bid through it using his divine sense.
'This will definitely give me no competitors,' thought Silver calmly staring at the caged pair on the auction's stage.
\”These two are brother and sister! Their origins are unknown but they are already powerful beings at a very young age. You may be thinking what makes them special? They both have a very unique ability! A drop of the boy's blood can increase your lifespan by a hundred years. The downside is, this drop of blood will only work once. As for the female, her blood can heal your wounds faster and better than a medium tier healing pill! Their blood alone can even allow the success rate of your pill making reach an outstanding 30%.\”
