The Fallen Consort

One by one, the Auction went by smoothly. Nobles, Organizations, Sects and even Royalties participated on bidding. The prices wasn't that overly high, yet the commotion it brought was drastic.

Yi Ling didn't found anything good so far. She wanted some of the rare herbs, but she was in a predicament. She sighed.

"Now we move on to the Low Spirit Stones, This spirit stones was among the treasures that was found in the ancient cave. This will help a cultivator on his breakthrough. Due to the scarceness of spiritual energy, This stones can be used as a mediator. Bid will start at 100,000 Gold Coins per set of 10, we have 5 sets in total" The host explained.

"150,000! I must get this one for the sect master!"

"200,000! I ain't letting this get away from me!"

"500,000!" Someone yelled from the second floor.

People were curious to see who was bidding so high. Yet they couldn't see anything. The window was covered , so its a one way viewing only from the inside.

"Is it worth that much Yu'er?" Yi Ling whispered.

"For these people, maybe. For you master, no. They are worthless compared to the Blue Rose Palace' spiritual energy." Linyu bragged.

"Ohh, is that so? Wish we have some to sell though. We're going to get rich by then." She giggled. She started to like money. It can buy any food she can eat, she drooled by the thought.

Linyu got some cloth from his pocket and wiped Yi Ling's mouth. He got used to his master's antics. In the short time that they were together, he can boldly say that his master was an odd person. Sometimes courageous, childish and/or well mannered. It feels like she had multiple personalities and well.. that might be the case too. He promised to himself to never let anything happen to his new master. He didn't want it to happen again, like his past master. He sighed.

They both had poor souls. Both sighing inside the room. Good thing that the staff had some tea at least. Yi Ling was thirsty. They were seated on Box 6 on the second floor.

By the time she finished her tea, the 5th set of low spiritual stones was sold.

"We will now be starting the bidding for the Spiritual Sword. This is the most valuable treasure we found on the ancient cave. It is a low tier spiritual rank weapon."

The audience was silent and then noise broke out. This was a sensation! Even though the sword was only on low-tier rank, it was still a very valuable weapon. Blacksmiths rarely make any spiritual weapons nowadays. Only the Higher Rank Kingdoms can. Even then, they can only produce about 1 in every 10years. That's how valuable they were! The audience was now agitated, they can't wait to get their hands on it!

"We will start bidding at 5 million gold." The host announced.

"6 Million!"

"7 Million!"

"Weak! 10 Million!"

The prices was now getting so high. Yi Ling's eyes was bulging. She can't believe it! These old geezers have so much money!

"15 Million!"

"No, I want this one for my sect master! 20 Million!

The low income groups was shocked like Yi Ling. They wish to get their hands on the sword as well, but they can't afford it. Even if they sold everything they owned. They all sighed.

"50 Million!" A voice ring out from one of the rooms on the second floor. Everyone went silent. They couldn't afford it anymore.

"Any higher bidders?" No one said anything, they all looked at the second floor. "Sold to Box 3!" The host was now grinning ear to ear.

"Now for the last item, I present to you all. A whole bottle of Spiritual Water." The host proudly presented the said item. There was no need to explain, everyone knows what a spiritual water can do. Everyone can feel the spiritual energy that it emits. This water was a legendary treasure! It was written on the books! One can never find a spiritual water for sale anymore, not even in the wild. Unless you go to the Spiritual Beasts Territories, which you'll die likely first before obtaining it! And if one did, It'll be one of the mens of the higher ranked kingdoms. They will only keep them for themselves!

" 100 Million Gold Coins! " A voice can be heard from Box 1, before the host can even say a word.

All these time, aside from Box 6 were Yi Ling and Linyu was; only Box 1 and Box 6 didn't bid anything. Now Box 1 bid a whooping amount of gold coins.

Everyone was flabbergasted. They weren't even able to react yet to the said item, now everyone was already outbidded. They all silently cried inside.

" 110 Million Gold Coins " Box 4 interjected.

" 120 Million! " Box 1 didn't want to be outbidded.

" 130 Million. " Box 4 Countered.

" 150 Million! " Box 1 was now agitated. He need this item so bad.

Box 4 was silent for a while, thinking if it was well worth it. Before he can raise it up, A beautiful voice rang out from Box 6.

" 200 Million! " Yi Ling countered. Linyu was shocked. Why is master bidding on her own item? He stared at her.

When the host heard the voice coming from Box 6, his brows furrowed. One is not allowed to raise bid on your own item, but then he remembered than Linyu and Yi Ling was both male. He must've brought a lady friend, he thought. So he let the matter pass. Poor guy, it was Linyu's servant boy who made the bid after all.

Box 1's teeth gritted. No! This treasure is mine!

" 250 Million Gold Coins! Let's see if you can top that! " He yelled back to Box 6.

Yi Ling smirked, Gotcha. " I guess its my lost, young master. You win this round. " Yi Ling's beautiful voice attracted everyone's attention. She must be really beautiful too, they thought.

"Any higher bidders? None? Sold to Box 1 for 250 Million Gold Coins!" The host then ended the auction.

"So that's why, I now learned something from master." Linyu praised Yi Ling. She was just trying to earn more money. His new master was sly as a fox, he smiled at her.

"Smart! Good thing that I didn't have to explain it to you Yu'er." Yi Ling was grinning like an idiot. Now I can eat all those food! It was all about the food in Yi Ling's mind.

Mu Xin who was watching everything, shook his head. He now found another side of her. Everything was getting interesting,he thought. Always because of her. He smiled warmly.
