As Ray observed the auction proceeding down below, he noticed an unusual tension when a certain pair participated in the auction. It seemed that most people were simply afraid of the pair and whenever they bid on an item, no one would object to them or even bid against them. Moreover, he also noticed that there was a pair sitting beside them with the same type of robes but instead of a dragon coiled around a sword, there was a soaring phoenix on them. Therefore, Ray knew that these people were from different places. As Ray continued to observe these people, he also noticed that there was some sort of animosity between them as the former looked at the people beside them with clear contempt in their eyes while the latter looked at them with various negative feelings in their eyes.

As the auction reached its end and the auction for Rock loin's spirit core started, Ray observed that the people within phoenix robes looked eager to obtain the spirit core whilst the people in dragon robes started giving them a hard time.

------------------------------------------------

As Ray watched these people with an amused smile on his face, the auction continued in a fierce battle between two different factions.

"1100 gold coins", said the men in phoenix robes, however, their voices were immediately interrupted by the men from the Heavenly dragon sword sect, as they said, "1110 gold coins". Yet, the former were not ones to be pushed aside, after all, they had pride as members of one top sect of the continent as well, thus they continued to bet, "1120 gold coins", however, they were interrupted once more, "1140 gold coins". Things went on like this as the bidding reached a whopping 1900 gold coins. Both parties were at their limit but still did not let go of the precious spirit core, hence, continued to bid to obtain the spiritual core. The people from the phoenix fire sect gritted their teeth and said, "2500 gold coins". This was near their limit and they knew that any more would hurt their gold reserves, thus they opted to go all out. Then, the people from the Heavenly dragon sword sect said,

" ke ke, what a pity, it seems you need this spirit core. However, we would not let go of a treasure ourselves", then they raised their voice as they spoke, "2700 gold coins", leading this many gasps heard after all such an increase was unexpected as the price for pseudo-intermediate tier spirit core had reached astronomically high and everyone was at their limit, yet these people dared to increase the price by 200 gold coins. Then a man spoke,

"The heavenly dragon sword sect are something. To spend so much just for a spirit core". Then, as if a damn had broken loose, many voices could be heard. "After all, they are the top sect, why would they be cheap to not spend gold coins for such treasure"

"Man, I wish I had even a percentage of their wealth, my life would have been at peace".

"Ahhh!! Why do such people participate in these auctions, they don't even let us normal people get something for ourselves"

"Yeah man, they should have a separate auction for themselves"

Immediately, many voices were heard in the auction house about people either complaining about the actions of the heavenly dragon sword sect, while some people applauded their strength while some envied their wealth. Amongst all sorts of voices, many people showed their displeasure toward the sect but these voices immediately receded as of afraid something. Soon after the voices receded, the bidding came to an end and after some futile resistance from the phoenix fire sect, the rock loin's spirit core was sold to the heavenly dragon sword sect for a total of 2800 gold coins. Then, the auction for the spiritual core of silver furred wolf started with the starting price of 1300 gold coins, after some time, it was sold to someone in VIP room number one for 3000 gold coins, after all, wind affinity was less common than earth elemental affinity while wind affinity cores also had much more uses and could be used for manifesting a lightning attribute skill to artifacts if used properly.

Then, under Ray's observant eyes, the auction ended. Ray continued to be seated on his sofa as he knew that the manager would come after some time. Ray just lackadaisically waited while he thought of those people from different sects fighting against each other for treasures. Although he wanted to help those from the phoenix fire sect as they seemed to need the rock loin's spirit core, he did nothing as it was neither his duty to help someone unknown nor was it his task to place his leg in someone else's matters. Moreover, his reason for bidding on the pseudo-intermediate tier spirit cores was to earn money, thus he was happy in getting more money as that would help his family in the real world. Helping his family was much better than helping some stranger just to occur a loss.

------------------------------------------------------

After waiting for some time, the manager arrived at the room with a smile on his face that meant that everything had gone better than he thought.

After coming into the room, the manager glanced at the woman who had been with Ray all this time, then as if understanding the manager's gaze, the two women left the room and closed the door. After that, the manager said with a smile on his face, "So.. I hope you enjoyed the auction and did not get disappointed with your treatment".

Ray, knew where the manager was going with his words but did not say anything and just looked at the man with a serious gaze as he knew that he had nothing to explain as he did nothing to those women, and neither did he care about what the manager thought. The manager understood Ray's expression and got to business immediately.

He said, "Young sir, the items brought by you caused a massive profit and even boosted the reputation of our auction house. Therefore, we are making you an official VIP member of our "Golden Pagoda Auction House", with being our VIP member, you will receive the best treatment at any of our auction houses while there will be numerous benefits as well", the man then handed Ray a bracelet and said, "this bracelet works as an identification card at our auction houses to identify you as our VIP member while it also contains a tiny artificial space that allows you to store gold coins and such"

As Ray held the bracelet, a notification sounded,

["Ding!!, Received identification spatial bracelet of "Golden Pagoda Auction House"]

Ray did not delve deeper into the bracelet's information as he had an idea of its uses. Moreover, the manager was getting to the best part that he had been waiting for.

The manager then said, "Moving onto the topic of your auction, your total earnings are 7100 gold coins, and after we deducted our percentage you are left with precisely 7029 gold coins, which are in the bracelet right now".

When the manager spoke the total Ray was left with, left him dazed as his heart started to beat rapidly while his mind went blank to an extent that he did not hear the manager's last words as well and just nodded to the manager until the manager left the room. After all, Ray knew that such a large amount of gold coins would help his family to a great extent as nearly 7000 gold coins would be equivalent to 7 million U.S dollars. As he calculated the amount after conversion, he could help but exclaim while laughing

"Hahaha, I am RICH".

After all, he got rich almost immediately within so less time, that it felt as if he had eaten on getting rich.
