Chapter 90: Auction Starts (1/2)

Alex looked around and didn't find Cai Ping anywhere in the hall at all. 'Is she somewhere else, busy preparing the auction?' he wondered.

A girl walked up to them and took them to a VIP room from where you could see the stage, but nobody else could see you.

There was an array of seats inside spread among the almost 10 by 10 meters big room. Alex sat on a random seat near the window at the front where the view was the best. Ma Rong sat where she could only see the stage.

The girl who came with them also stayed in the room but remained standing next to the door.

There was time to spare, so Alex decided to ask his master something. He made sure he wasn't loud enough for the girl to listen.

”Master, how do I speak into someone's head?”

Ma Rong wasn't expecting such a question in an environment like this. Still, she answered. ”It's easy. Just send out your spiritual sense to someone's head and say things in your mind. They will be able to hear it in their head.”

Alex heard it in his head and decided to try. He sent out his spiritual sense towards Ma Rong and asked, ”Can you hear me?”

”Yes,” an answer came to his head. He was happy learning it had worked. Now he didn't have to worry about communicating in secret if the need ever arises.

Time passed by as more and more people came and sat at the seats in the open down below.

”Oh, he's here too.” Ma Rong seemed to be quite surprised by someone's arrival. Alex looked below the window but didn't recognize anyone. So he asked, ”Who are you talking about master?”

”The man with the black hat, 5 rooms to our left. He is the sect leader of Honor sect from Rosewood city.” Ma Rong said.

He tried to look who it was, but his spiritual sense couldn't reach so far away. 5 rooms were about 50 meters in total length, even when stretched to the maximum, he could only cover a radius of 30 meters with his spiritual sense. So, he couldn't see who his master was talking about.

”You can see that far master? What is your radius on your spiritual sense?” he couldn't help but ask.

”My radius? It's about 50 or so meters. I can do about 75 at best. I need to eat more spirit-enriching pills to be able to increase it more.” She said.

'Wow, so far,' he was amazed at how far she could send out her spiritual sense. 'But what's a spirit-enriching pill? I don't remember any pill like that in the recipes I got from the library. Nor did the records have anything about them.'

”Do you have a recipe for that pill, master?” he asked.
