Chapter 2965: Back to Business
The auction house began to fill once again as the night got close. Rean and the girls waited in a corner of Ariana’s room while Ariana spent her time looking for her star. Fortunately, through Roan’s method, she was able to find her direction.
Rean counted the time, and the auction was about to start. He would need to go back to his private room to make the offer. However, just as he was about to say something, he noticed a change in the Stellar Energy coming Ariana’s way. “Oh! That was pretty fast.”
Roan nodded with his cold expression. “That’s good enough.”
Ariana then opened her eyes, feeling the rich Stellar Energy coming from her star. It was filling her body, slowly transforming it, making it more resistant and strong. “Truly magical…”
Roan walked to Larissa and extended his hand. “Give it.”
Larissa was taken aback for a moment. Obviously, Roan was talking about the Spatial Ring with the 3000 Rank Five Spiritual Stones inside. Larissa then looked at Ariana, who got up and returned to her chair. She would need time to understand this new Body Cultivation Technique better. “Give him the Spatial Ring. Also, alert the guys. No one under my command is to touch these two youngsters. Understood?”
Larissa quickly nodded. “Yes, Lady Ariana.” Right after, she passed Roan the Spatial Ring and left. The other girls stayed to tend to Ariana, though.
“Asterix, Obelix. Look for me if you ever find a need for it,” She remarked one last time.
“We will do so,” Rean and Roan nodded. Well, they also got Karev’s promise, so it wouldn’t make much of a difference. Finally, they left the room and Ariana behind.
In the room, one of Ariana’s girls couldn’t help but ask. “Are we truly letting them go, Lady Ariana? They have all your savings…”
Ariana didn’t seem to mind it anymore. “You don’t need to understand. All you need to know is that anyone who gets in those two’s way will be in for a very, very bad time, and it includes the Queen, let alone us.”
The girls were shocked to hear that. How can two puny Core and Soul Fusion Realm youngsters pose such a threat? They didn’t understand. Nonetheless, no one thought Ariana was lying, so they made a mental note to not bother Asterix and Obelix either.
In their own Private Room, Rean looked at the Spiritual Stones inside the Spatial Ring and couldn’t help but smile brightly. “This should be enough for us to reach the Nascent Soul Realm… although just barely.”
Roan nodded. “We aren’t caring about how we cultivate, after all. We are wasting a lot of the Spiritual Stones’ energy. Nonetheless, it matters not. Let’s continue with our plans and use everything we can. I don’t want to stay on this planet for much longer.”
Rean approached the window of his room and looked down to the stage. Fubei, the Inquisitor, was already there, discussing a few things with some of the organizers of the auction. It wouldn’t take long for the auction to restart.
“We have almost four thousand Rank Five Spiritual Stones. Perhaps there will be something for us to buy later,” Rean smiled.
Roan sat on his chair and closed his eyes. He decided to cultivate while Rean paid attention to the auction. Their cultivation is shared, so it didn’t matter if Rean didn’t do anything. “Let me know when the gel appears.”
A few minutes later, Fubei was left alone on the stage while the crowd finished gathering in the seats and private rooms. “Welcome back, everyone. I’m happy to see that today, we have as many people as yesterday. As you know, today, we will accept other items as payment for the treasures being auctioned. Of course, the item owners left their requirements stated ahead of time, so you all should know what you need if you wish to trade.”
Fubei didn’t waste time. “Alright, bring over the first item.”
“Here we have a Wind Zuman Oak Staff. It is extremely good for those with Wind Affinity, especially if you are not used to fighting with weapons. It will help you channel Wind Element much faster than normal equipment,” Fubei described. “The initial bid is 250 Rank Four Spiritual Stones or 100 grams of Gold Charged Sand from the Queintin Continent.”
The auction continued without any interruptions. Some people bought the items through Spiritual Stones, and others brought the necessary items for exchange. Sometimes, more than one expert had the item asked by the treasure’s owner, so they also added Spiritual Stones to the mix until a winner was decided.
Rean watched everything with interest, enjoying his leisure moment while Roan cultivated. His mind couldn’t help but wander back to the Lisan Universe, wondering if everything turned out fine. Too bad there was no way to acquire that information in this place. Finally, his interest was picked as another item entered the stage. “Roan, our target is here.”
Roan stopped cultivating and opened his eyes. He saw a transparent bottle being brought to the stage. By the sequence of items listed in the auction’s online website, that had to be the Enchanted Moon Gel. Well, Roan could tell it was the real deal with a glance, though. “It was about time.”
Fubei once again presented the item. “Here we have a full bottle of Enchanted Moon Gel. As you know, it is extremely hard to acquire, and very little can be found all over the planet. It is especially useful in alchemy. The item owner asked for 2000 Rank Five Spiritual Stones or a Sun Urpin Cultivation Technique.”
When they arrived at the auction, the twins only had around a thousand Spiritual Stones and a little less after cultivating. Now, however, they had almost 4000 of them. Still, many people seemed interested in the item, so the bidding war started straight away. “Hum… should we still trade the technique, or should we buy it directly?”
“Trade it,” Roan didn’t need to think twice. “The stones are a lot more useful to us at the moment.”
Rean nodded and pressed the terminal. Immediately, the offer appeared on the stage.
