"Brilliant! You guessed it right esteemed guest!"
Clap. Clap. Clap…
The auctioneer gave a few claps to the analytical person in the VIP booth after returning both crystals to the display stand…
"The name I gave at the very beginning wasn't an over exaggeration or some sort of hot air to boost your expectations, this collection indeed consists of 'Omni-Element' elemental crystals…"
"So it was true…?"
"I thought it was a myth that only existed is story books…"
Some people started wondering in disbelief, while some others...
"What is that supposed to be…?"
Still wondering about the nature of this crystals, the newbie sect members fully displayed their inexperience and slow witt in a great way!
"As for those who don't know what an 'Omni-Element' elemental crystal is, let me elaborate… an 'Omni-Element' elemental crystals is an elemental crystal that simply contains 99% of the elements of the existing elements in the same quantity a normal elemental crystal would hold, all at the same time-"
"WHAT?!"
"Isn't that too exaggerated?!"
"Unfortunately, this collection is one that's missing both the lightning and thunder elements, but other than these two, we have practically spotted most of the elements that we tried to actively search for, if there is anyone of our esteemed guests that wants to test its authenticity, you are free to come up stage to check…"
"I- I want to try it out…"
One of the newbie sect members seemed like he wanted to join in on the fun as he said is a slightly high voice…
"Please come up."
As soon as the auctioneer gestured for him to, the young sect member jumped into the stage in a hurry as he received the crystal from the auctioneer's hands as if he was holding a new toy of his as its color changed to a dark yellow one, indicating that he had the earth attribute.
"These crystals really work!"
The young man felt a bit excited before the auctioneer took the crystal from him, gesturing for him to go back to his seat, as a result the young man held his strange feeling of excitement as he went back quietly…
"Anyone else who wants to give it a try?"
While several participants seemed eager to go up and try just for the sake of curiosity, they held themselves back as they knew this wasn't a playground, there were probably a great number of powerhouses veiled under the VIP booths, so if they started acting childish they might lose the chance to attend this auction again at the best case scenario…
"I would like to give it one final test please…"
"You are free to come up to."
All the participants' eyes' full of interest suddenly concentrated at the source of the sound which felt like it came from nowhere as it turned out to be a lady wearing a veil that nobody had noticed till the point she was standing just below the stage…
"Why does she look a bit familiar…?"
"Same, even though I can't see her face, I feel like I have seen her before…"
Gracefully getting up the stage and taking a crystal directly from the display stand, the participants who thought that nothing could shock them at this point were all stunned!
"This… Isn't she that…"
After the color of the crystal vanished, the color that took over was…
"Two colors…?"
"I know! I know! She is that genius recruitee who broke the records and managed to achieve the second highest rank in the recruitment tournament 2 years ago!"
"After she displayed her overwhelming ice-shadow dual elements back then, she got especially recruited by the 'Elemental Blade Sect' and since then nobody has heard much about her…"
"It seems that the 'Elemental Blade Sect' had sent her as a final probe for the crystals, they seem to be planning to bid for the collection…"
"Yeah, now that her confirmation pretty much showed the crystal's true worth, they are probably going to be quite serious about getting it…"
The crystal was dyed in both pale black and snowy white!
"Mhm, these crystals should be authentic."
The lady suddenly vanished from her location as she left the way she came...
"Now then, I take it that after the esteemed young lady's great display that everyone is satisfied with that as proof…"
No one denied the auctioneer's words as he gestured for the warrior do to leave the stage before clapping lightly once more...
Clap. Clap.
"Great, now that everyone seems to agree, the bidding for the last auction item shall start now, the minimum bid for the Unique 'Omni-Element' crystal collection containing a total of 101 grade 1 crystals and 10 grade 2 crystals will start at..."
"Five hundred gold."
'Nice marketing.'
As one of the ways to promote their Unity auction house, the auction house's staff didn't seem to hold back at promoting the item itself in a way that grabbed the participants attention better than if they have used the simple method of announcing the item's importance from the beginning and quelling the audience's curiosity…
As such, I was quite satisfied with their methods as this was bound to increase the final bid for the collection, which meant more gold for me…
Not to mention that since the collection seemed to have grabbed the attention of the 'Elemental Blade Sect', this might become more interesting than expected…
"700! Humph, since you want to disregard my Yin Yang Sect completely, let me see if I allow you to get this collection that easily."
It seemed that Yang held a grudge from the indifferent attitude of the 'Elemental Blade Sect' as he seemed to join in just to make trouble, however…
"1500."
The calm voice coming from the booth belonging to the 'Elemental Blade Sect' seemed to regard Yang's provoke as nothing…
"1600."
Yet, it didn't seem that the 'Elemental Blade Sect' was the only one that was unfazed by competition as a top up came out right after their deterring high bid...
