14 Tools for cultivation! and unidentifiable artifacts?

The auctioneer entered the stage, his figure was well kept and in no way was he weak, most faces of the people at the auction were hidden, including mine. The people at the auction house loved to see who got what, and follow them around only to strike them down when they were at their most vulnerable point.

"Welcome to our north city auction house! Today will be a fairly interesting auction, as we will sell more then just tools for cultivation, and there will be a special surprise at the end" The announcer stated "Be sure to enjoy he show!"

The crowd cheered, it was unusual for the auction house to change up their methods, it has always been a place where you can expect the same things, only with more or less materials to buy.

The auction begun, and they brought out their first item, it was a small bracelet, made from spiritual jade.

"This jade bracelet has a miraculous effect! It can increase your cultivation speed up to three times what it was before! We are placing the starting price at ten thousand 1st grade low level spirit stones!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

"Twenty thousand!"

"Thirty thousand!"

The prices were constantly rising, and it seemed as if no one was giving up. After a small while, the prices stood still at a hundred thousand.

"Any higher bidders?" The auctioneer waited, "Going once! Going twice!"

The crowd stayed quiet.

"Sold! To the man in court C!" It was just getting on "now for our next item!"

They brought out another tool for cultivation, this one seemed stronger, as if it could do so much more!

"Here we have a rather special tool, it seems to be a kind of necklace, but we can not identify it, however we know it's value is most definitely better then the previous one! Bids start at twenty-five thousand!"

The crowd stayed quiet for a while, but one man finally spoke up.

"a hundred thousand!"

everyone was surprised, even for an unknown item thats supposedly better then the last one, its too much of a gamble to take. The man felt incredibly confident with his choice until the stone spoke up.

"kid, you've gotta buy that item, it will definitely help you in the future, I cant explain now, but when you make it back you can definitely use this! I'll only speak up if there are anymore items you can buy." The stone said

"got it!" I whispered

I stood up, prepared to win this, "two hundred and fifty thousand!"

The whole room gasped, to spend this much on an unknown tool was beyond what was expected from anyone, rich or poor. There was no way that they would risk it.

I smirked because i knew no one else would dare raise the value anymore.

"Going once, going twice..." The tension in the room was high, was I really about to get this? "sold!"

It was a miracle, I was expecting that people were about to raise the value, until I realised that they could hunt me down for it afterwards. The auction house was never safe, and thats why so many people are terrified of spending over a hundred thousand on the items. The auction went on and nothing was out of the ordinary, the stone never really spoke only sighed, as though it was embarrassed at the fact that they sold these items at an auction house.

It was finally time for the real show to begin, all the beginner's cultivation tools were sold and it was finally time to pay lots of money, increasing your cultivation speed by three in this era was nothing, top grade artifacts could increase your cultivation by a thousand times, even more depending on the remaining quality. The strongest artifact known in all existence was the azure jade dragon badge, which increased the current cultivation king's speed by two thousand and forty three times its normal rates.

These items will never be anywhere near worth that much, since north city is one of the smallest in the nation, the strongest artifact ever sold here was only fifty times the normal rates. Although it sounds like a lot, many enchanters can easily make a bracelet be five times better then a normal cultivation tool, which is found from ancient ruins, before even my times.

The first item they brought out was a set of pills, all were for those in the qi collecting to qi cultivation to rank up once immediately, this sounded like a good deal at first, however this would most definitely ruin someones foundation, due to taking pills instead of slowly building it yourself.

My foundation is rather stable, but taking pills wont be safe until I reach the martial warrior stage.

It was the same for the second, third, forth, and fifth items. It seems like a pill master brought in a bunch of their products to earn some additional money, since all of them were worth almost five hundred thousand a piece. Finally after thirty minutes, the pills stopped, and it was back on to cultivation tools.

"this cultivation tool can multiply your abilities by twenty five times its normal rates! this is an item you do NOT want to miss! as there hasn't been such a good item in a year!" He continued on " there are three of these items discovered, and one of them are unidentifiable, so they could be the next best seller in this location!"

The crowd was excited, they never knew that something this big, believing that it was the surprise that was about to appear.

"we are starting these prices at two hundred thousand each! Be careful when you leave this auction house after you have one of these babies!" the auctioneer stated.

They sold incredibly well, the first two sold at almost the same value, being placed at a million 1st rank low level spirit stones, until it was finally time for the unidentified tool.

"Now! the unidentified tool that we've all been waiting for! known for its unique seal and unknown essence, in the shape of a bracelet, the final cultivation tool of the auction!" The auctioneer gladly announced "placing this beauty at a beginning price of five hundred thousand! now bid your hearts out!"

the crowd roared and instantly started bidding, the only time you would bid on an unidentified item was if it was the finale, they never leave the worst for last, and never let you down on it. The rising numbers didn't stop.

One million!

One and a half million!

Three million!

Five million!

They finally stood still at ten million, until finally the stone spoke up once more.

"Kid! you've gotta get this artifact no matter the price! look on the map! this is what you need!" The stone said, showing me a mental image of the map.

All of a sudden in shock, I called out.

"Twenty five million!"

The crowd was shocked, they had no clue that somebody would raise the price again, by fifteen million, no less! The north city wasn't that rich and even those that had lots of money would go to the central city to attend auctions.

"Going once! going twice! sold!"

I almost screamed with joy, I won the artifact and the unidentifiable artifact before that, it's a definite win for me in this situation, and my only worries was making it back home before someone steals them.

"And now, on to the grand surprise!"

Everyone was shocked, that wasn't the grand surprise before?

"Bring them out!" he shouted

finally, ten people roped up in chains, wearing torn and ragged grey clothes, their faces smudged and scratched.

"slaves?"
