Chapter 71 Troubles In Auction

After the bid reached 1.5 million, fewer and fewer people were able to participate. In the end, a few more rounds of bidding left the bid at 2.1 million.

The Black Peak Armour was auctioned away for 2.1 million as regretful sighs rang out in the auction area. There were even more people who were clenching their teeth in frustration because no one knew whose hands the armour had landed in.

Although the majority of the crowd was rather regretful, the atmosphere in the auction area had become pretty lively, and countless burning gazes quickly turned to the stage again.

The first item was already so valuable. Looks like the quality of the goods this time was indeed going to be pretty high. The only question was whether even better things would appear later on.

Hence, the auction continued under the countless expectant gazes, unstoppable as wildfire.

Item after item continuously appeared on the auction stage. Although none of them could match the Black Peak Armour, every item was still considerably rare. Hence, the atmosphere of the auction remained extremely exciting.

At this current moment, the elder was once again taking out another item on the auction stage. It was a glass bottle in which a fiery-red liquid swam. The viscous liquid was akin to the essence of fire, flames endlessly burning around it.

"This is the Core Magma that was extracted from the depths of Dragon Depths. If it is absorbed by someone who has a fire-type martial spirit, as, it will be able to raise the quality of its martial spirit's spiritual energy"

These words shook the auction area once again, burning desire instantly rising in the eyes of countless individuals.

The previous items, including the Black Peak Armour, were ultimately external aids. This Magma Core on the other hand was able to raise the quality of spiritual energy of a martial spirit!

If absorbed, a fire based qi or mana will get a boost in the element. Such an increase in power was definitely not insubstantial.

"Never imagined that they would even have such a thing." Ezra could not help and look at Theor, the latter nodded.

The bidding price was 700,000 crystals but when the elder was about to announce, the auctioneer lady ran towards him and whispered. "This Core Magma is sold."

"What!?"

"But the bidding just started."

"Who is that bastard?"

After about a dozen minutes of cussing and disagreement, they finally heard the words they were expecting.

"Cosmic Soul Fruit, 200,000 Spirit crystals."

Ezra's lightly shut eyes opened, his gaze burning with desire as he stared at the stage where the elder was holding a jade case. A nature-coloured fruit lay within the case.

This resource had a very particular function, hence, not many were interested in it and its starting bid was naturally pretty tame.

Few were vying for this item, and the bid only managed to rise to 320,000 after a few rounds.

Ezra waited for his opportunity. When it was about time, he finally opened his mouth "448,000 spirit crystals" he has to say that loudly to show his standing a bit.

The sudden increase of 40% was not trivial at all. Several parties immediately give up, while the remaining two only gave in after raising the bid to 500,000.

Ezra indifferently gazed at the fruit and breathed a sigh, "I am literally cheating"

The elder scanned the area as his powerful voice echoed, "Are there any other bids?"

Silence covered the auction.

However, just as Ezra had relaxed, a soft chuckle was suddenly heard.

"600,000."

The abrupt arrival of this voice caused whispers to spring up in the auction area. Many were bewildered. Why had the price of a Cosmic Soul Fruit risen to such a level?

Ezra's complexion changed slightly, the expression in his eyes sinking a little as he said in a calm voice, "650,000."

"700,000." The other bidder immediately kept pace.

"800,000." Iciness flashed in Ezra Zephyr's eyes. Someone was making things difficult for him. The other bidder was clearly purposely stirring trouble and did not intend to buy it

When the werewolf prince called out his bid of 800,000, the other voice seemed to laugh softly before no longer making any noise.

Thus, the Cosmic Soul Fruit ultimately landed in Ezra's hands, but he had to pay 800,000, and he was enraged.

But there was no change in the prince's expression, but fury flashed in his eyes.

By the side, Theor stared at the VIP room in the distance and muttered, "The one that bidding is also in a VIP room. According to my information, that room is exclusively used by someone from the Uqually clan"

"Uqually clan?" Ezra frowned slightly. When had he offended the people and members of the Uqually clan? He asked himself. "This is crossing the line even for Bipasha."

Moreover, given the Uqually clan's status, he could not possibly lower himself to vie with those of the sovereignty.

Theon pondered for a while. "The one inside is definitely not the direct descendent but according to what I've heard, the only other person who frequents that VIP room is the young talent of 2nd branch family, Salom Uqually."

"Salom Uqually... hmm!" Ezra shook his head. He couldn't recall anyone with that name.

Ezra's eyes flickered in thought for a while, eventually returning to calmness. However, ice-cold light flashed in the depths of this calmness. It did not matter why Salom Uqually was targeting him. Since the act was done, the crown prince of Bloodfang Kingdom would naturally remember.

He then looked towards Theor and asked, "Go and take it from the auctioneer."

The 800,000 of his spirit crystals had been used up. He no longer had any interest left in the other offers

Theor knelt. "As you wish, Your Majesty," said Theor

Ezra did not say anything, but he made sure to remember this debt of gratitude.

The auction continued. It was not long before a spell finally made an appearance.

The starting price for the 2nd circle spell was only 80,000 spirit crystals, and the competition even less than before.

Ezra was the first to shout, "200,000!"

His bid directly silenced the place. Those originally planning on bidding instantly became quiet. This bid was akin to a roadblock, there was no reason for them to pay such a high price for a stalk of 2nd circle spell.

The silence only lasted for a moment. Just as Ezra began to believe that he had already succeeded, a faint laughter was once again heard from a particular VIP room. "300,000."

The prince's eyelids lowered slightly as the frostiness in his eyes intensified.

Salom Uqually was really a bit too much.

Theor's face also turned ice-cold. Although Salom Uqually was the youngster and 2nd branch family heir of the Uqually clan, he did not amount too much in his eyes. Thus, he immediately responded, "600,000."

Directly doubling the bid.

That VIP room was clearly silent for a moment after Theor's bid. In the end, a soft laugh emerged. "Since the respected martial master like it, I shall not compete."

The 2nd circle spell was now also in the bag, but Ezra's pretty face did not look happy at all. Salom knew that he was the one bidding but still raised the price. It was obvious that he did not think much of him.

Ezra softly muttered, "That's good."

The prince took in a deep breath, his eyes cool and calm as he looked towards that particular VIP room. "If we meet in the Spirity Bailiwick, I will make you spit out ten times the amount you made me spend today, with blood interest"
