Chapter 1498 Auction
"It's alright. Also, I am not giving it to you for free. You will take care of the Five Elemental World in my place."
Ajax replied to her with a slight smile.
'Is he taking me for a little girl or what?'
Siora could tell easily that he was saying those words in order to not make her embarrassed.
Nevertheless, she didn't say anything and nodded her head and thought, 'I should find a way to leave the five elemental world as soon as possible.'
'Once I can do that, I can travel to other worlds and help him in conquering the other worlds.'
Right now, Siroa decided to shamelessly take the world energy from Ajax; however, she swore to help Ajax by helping him in conquering the worlds in the future.
According to her mother, she had to become a high-level emperor realm cultivator which means she needed at least level 7 emperor realm cultivation to sever the connection that was stopping her from leaving the five elemental world.
'I can not only fufil my dream of venturing to other worlds but I can also get to know him better.'
Siora was always curious about the other worlds.
So, she was determined to find a way to sever the connection with her mother, the lesser world tree because reaching level 7 emperor realm cultivation would definitely take a few decades.
"Please take care of the Five elemental world and keep an eye on the Dusk Mammoth in the wilderness. Support it with some natural treasures to increase its cultivation."
The Ancient Evergreen Forest of the Elves was filled with many natural treasures that could help below the king realm beings.
So, Ajax asked Siora to keep an eye on the unevolved spirit beast Ajax tamed a few days back in the five elemental world.
"Don't worry. I will make the five elemental world powerful."
Siora could tell that Ajax wanted to make all the living beings inside the Five elemental world as powerful as possible.
Therefore, she assured him that because she wanted the same.
The more powerful the cultivators become, the sooner the grade of the world core increases. The higher the grade of the world cores, the more benefits such as enlightenment, and birth of the natural treasures would be given to the inhabitants of the world.
"Good."
Ajax nodded his head with a slight smile.
Next, he spoke about a few more things, both personal and worldly matters with Siora before saying goodbye to her and the lesser world tree.
With a thought, he teleported to the three bird tribes, three fox tribes, and the mountain lions. He checked their cultivation and discussed a few things regarding the future of each tribe before leaving the five elemental world through the portal connecting to the Purple stone world.
…..
Time continued to pass and in a flash, the auction day in the trader's realm had come.
'Even though I am searching for a source of the plant essence, I don't mind finding some valuable treasures in the auction today.'
With an excited smile, Ajax entered the trader's realm from the Grey Dwarf World.
Since Ajax was able to enter the trader's realm using one of the artifacts belonging to the Grey Dwarf World, he could only enter the trader's realm from the Grey Dwarf World.
He was excited because the auction in the trader's realm was not a regular auction that could be found anywhere in the normal world.
It was an auction, only king realm cultivators could enter. Moreover, the entry ticket costs one hundred thousand trading tokens which was a lot of trading tokens for the regular king realm cultivators.
Therefore, most of the participants for the auction would be Emperor realm cultivators or the young master of the powerful families from the Greater worlds.
'Entering the trader's realm would already filter a lot of low-level and even high-level cultivators. The entry fee would scare another batch of cultivators, leaving only a few powerful cultivators.'
While thinking about his fellow participants in today's auction, Ajax entered the trader's realm.
"The auction will start soon. I have already registered your items for today's auction. Try to buy at least one item from the auction andif possible buy two items for a guaranteed upgrade in your trader's level. Now, go."
As soon as he entered the trader's realm, he met his dark elf friend who urged him to rush to the auction house.
"Okay."
Ajax took the help of the Dark elf regarding the auction. Of course, Ajax gave the lesser world tree seed to him in exchange for his help.
The Dark elf tried to reject it saying it was too precious; however, Ajax was not the type to give up so easily.
In the end, the Dark elf with the virtual name Nightelf eventually took the gift.
...
The auction house in the trader's realm was huge and heavily guarded. All the cultivators that were entering the auction house had minimum cultivation of high-level king realm cultivation whereas most of them had a low-level emperor realm cultivation.
'Even the guards are emperor realm cultivators. I wonder how powerful the master of this trader's realm was.'
The two guards at the main entrance had the cultivation of a low-level emperor realm, making Ajax surprised and curious about the cultivation of the owner of the trader's realm.
'Is he a cultivator that surpassed the Emperor realm? Or two realms higher than the emperor realm?'
While thinking about the owner of the trader's realm, Ajax walked into the auction house as the guards asked him with faces full of respect.
"Respected trader, please show your entry pass."
"Here."
Soon, Ajax showed the entry pass that he got a few days back.
"Welcome to the Trader's Auction House."
As soon as they saw the black-coloured entry pass, the guards became even more respectful as they welcomed Ajax into the auction.
A black-coloured entry pass implies that the cultivator was not only a participant but also the seller of one of the items in the auction house.
Unlike the regular auctions, only legend-grade items and valuable items were allowed to list their products in the auction. So, a seller gets much more respect than a participant who might or might not buy any auction items.
"Hm"
Ajax had already prepared for such reactions from the guards after getting the brief introduction of the auction house from his friend.
'I am a young master of a powerful family from a greater human world.'
Currently, Ajax was wearing the robes he bought using 100000 trading tokens because he didn't want to be looked down on by the other participants.
Moreover, he thought it was better to act like a young master from a powerful family rather than a cultivator from a low-level normal world.
"Young master, please follow me."
Soon, a young woman guided Ajax to a special chamber for the Black-coloured pass holders.
"Welcome to the Trader's auction house."
After settling in the special chambers, Ajax waited for a few minutes because a beautiful elf with revealing clothes welcomed all the participants of the auction, standing in the center.
"Let's not waste any time and start the auction with the first item."
The beautiful elf took out a small pill bottle that had three golden-coloured pills.
"The first time of the auction is Golden Emperor Skin Pills."
The beautiful elf placed the pill bottle on a stand and started giving an introduction about the pill bottle.
"The Golden Emperor Skin Pills. If a cultivator with a cultivation of King realm or even Emperor realm consumes these pills, a temporary golden skin appears on their body which gives a full defence even from a high-level emperor realm cultivator's attack for a time period of five minutes."
"There are a total of three of them. The initial price of the seller is one million trader's tokens with a minimum increase in the bid of hundred thousands trader's tokens. Start the bidding now."
After giving the introduction of the item, the beautiful elf announced the starting price of the three pills.
'What? Those pills give such a strong defense?'
Ajax was already expecting to see some powerful items in the auction; however, he didn't expect to see such a valuable item at the beginning of the auction itself.
Even though it was not a valuable item in the eyes of the high-level emperor realm cultivators, it was very useful for king realm cultivators because they would become undefeatable for five minutes.
'Also, the starting price is so high. I wonder whether the other participants were willing to increase the price any further.'
Even though it was a valuable item in his eyes, it was useless in the eyes of a high-level emperor realm cultivator.
"Two million trader's tokens."
"Three million trader's tokens."
.
.
"Ten million trader's tokens"
Just as Ajax was doubting the price would increase any further, the participants were crazy as they increased its price to ten million trader's tokens within no time.
"It looks like everyone participating in this auction seems very rich."
Ajax had a bitter expression when he saw everyone was bidding as though it was a spare change for them.
Earlier, he was already feeling he was rich with the one million trader's tokens he received from the universal summoner by mistake.
Now, he felt so poor that he didn't even dare to bid because he had only 700000 trader's tokens left after spending on the entry pass, clothes, and other things.
"The Golden Emperor Skin Pills goes to Nightmare Fiend for ten million trader's tokens."
