Chapter 1515: Mid-level Auction House
Chapter 1515: Mid-level Auction House
"Since you are here, why don't we enter the auction house at this level which is about to start?"
Zaglanath asked whether Ajax was interested in entering the auction house.
The trader's realm is classified into three levels: Low-level, Mid-level and High-level.
At each level, there is an auction house and these auction houses host an auction every month on the same day.
As for the time, the auction houses host their auctions at random times depending on their convenience.
Today, the auction houses of the low-level and the mid-level trader's realm had already ended and the auction in the mid-level trader's realm was about to start.
And the reason why Zaglanath entered the trader's realm was to attend the auction house in the mid-level since he was a mid-level trader.
"Yes."
Since the most valuable items in the trader's realm could be found in the auction house, Ajax decided to enter it.
"Is there something you are interested in today's auction?"
As they walked toward the auction house, Ajax asked Zaglanath whether he had something he wished to buy from the auction house.
Officially, the auction houses don't divulge the information of their items before the auction; however, the information of some of the items would be leaked.
It was most likely the auction houses who leak the information and they intentionally exaggerate the information about those items.
Since they were not revealing the information officially, even if they add a few lies to those items, no one would blame them. It was a business that the auction houses adopted to increase the number of participants in their auction houses.
"There is nothing I want; however, I have to buy a few items to increase my rank to enter the high-level trader's realm."
Zaglanath replied without thinking much as they continued to walk.
'Oh'
Ajax nodded his head and didn't ask any more questions as he started thinking about his future.
'Since the plant essence is so valuable, I think I have to put a hold on my mission to gather the plant essence until I become an Emperor realm cultivator.'
Along the way, Ajax started making a plan where he could afford the plant essence.
As for now, if someone sells the 1000 units of plant essence to him, Leo could not buy it with his funds and even if he sells all his normal world cores, Ajax was not sure whether he could buy the 1000 units of the plant essence.
'If I trade all six normal world cores and 100 million trader tokens for 1000 units of the plant essence, then I have to put a hold on my cultivation, which will, in turn, stagnate my speed of retrieving the world cores.'
Ajax ran all types of simulations regarding his plans and in the end, he decided, 'First thing first, I should become an Emperor realm cultivator first.'
That's right!
After thinking about it for a while, Ajax felt that focusing on his cultivation and increasing his battle prowess was the fastest way to increase his speed of retrieving the world cores.
Once Ajax becomes an Emperor realm cultivator, as long as he puts some effort into it, he could conquer a normal demon world without any problem.
'If I can conquer a normal demon world and retrieve its world core, then I can get a greater world core every ten days just from my invasion. If Alder and the remaining 10 devour eagle kings do their usual invasion, I will get another 50-60 smaller world cores without any problem.'
Just imagining those things made Ajax very excited as he became very determined and said, 'As long as I get more world cores, I can easily get the plant essence.'
Recently, Ajax learned that there were two rarest items in the trader's realm. One is the plant essence and the other one is a world core.
Even though there was already a seller for the world cores, which was the world-conquering sect, they only released one smaller world core and a normal world core every month and it's been a while since they put the cores in the auction house.
'I just need to wait for one and half months to gather enough smaller world cores to merge them into a greater world core and at the same time, I can also trade some of the smaller world cores to the deals I signed today.'
Ajax didn't forget about the contracts he signed today and even after adding the world cores he needed to give to the Blood Vampire King and others, it would take less than two months for him to become a high-level king realm cultivator.
'After that, I need another two months to accumulate enough smaller world cores to merge them into a Greater world core which I can use to break through to the Emperor realm.'
Even though he had already met the conditions to break through to the high-level king realm, he didn't know the breakthrough conditions for the Emperor realm.
Nevertheless, if he had a Greater world core in hand and the moment he meets the breakthrough conditions, Ajax could use it to become an Emperor realm cultivator.
'At that time, I will go and conquer the Normal level worlds.'
Overall, Ajax had to wait for around three months which was equivalent to the time required for the system to finish its upgrade.
'By the time, the system finishes its upgrade, I will be an Emperor realm cultivator. I wonder what type of missions it will give me at the time.'
The difficulty of the system increases with this cultivation. Moreover, if the system is upgraded, then it would unlock some good rewards.
Amidst his thoughts and plans, Zaglanath and Ajax had already entered the auction house as Zaglanaht paid for Ajax's entry ticket.
The auction house looked similar to the auction house in the low-level trader's realm auction house; however, this auction house had soft seats and a little bit of good infrastructure compared to that.
"Let's sit here."
Soon, they found their seats and started waiting for the auction to start.
Unlike before, Ajax was not given a special chamber because he was not a special cultivator this time.
To qualify as a special cultivator, one had to sell something through the auction or they should belong to the high-level trader's realm.
Therefore, Ajax and Zaglanath could only sit in the normal seats as the special chambers were already filled with the special cultivators.
"Young master, if you like any item, tell me, I will buy it for you."
As they were waiting for the auction to start, Zaglanath informed Ajax that he would buy an item for him.
"Okay."
Since the other party was willing to buy an item for him, Ajax didn't want to reject it as he felt Zaglanath might feel bad about it.
Moreover, Ajax also knew that Zaglanath was a powerful expert and worked for his master, Bloodline Emperor Mostror. So, he thought Zaglanath should be rich.
"By the way, is there any difference between the three auction houses of the three levels of the trader's realm? Of course, other than the grade of the items."
After nodding at Zaglanath, Ajax asked a question.
It was natural for the mid-level auction house to sell the items more valuable than the items sold by the low-level auction house and for the high-level auction house, it would sell even more valuable items than the other two auction houses.
However, Ajax was curious whether there were any other differences between these three auction houses.
"There is one difference."
Zaglanath thought for a moment as he explained, "In the low-level auction house, twenty items would be sold whereas in the mid-level auction house, only 10 items would be sold."
"Oh. Only half the number of the items sold by the low-level auction houses in a single auction."
Ajax was not surprised because as the quality of the items increases the number of the items sold would deceased.
"What about the high-level auction house? How many items will it sell in a single auction?"
Ajax curious asked about the high-level auction house.
Since it was a high-level auction house and sold the top-notch items in it, Ajax wanted to know about it.
"Only three items per every auction and each one of them would be bid crazily that you don't even dare to bid in it."
Zagalanath answered as he saw a beautiful succubus on the stage.
"Everyone, welcome to the mid-level auction house. Let's not waste any time and start the auction."
Soon, the succubus started the auction with the first item.
"The first item of the auction is a level 1 Emperor realm elemental spirit slave."
While saying that, the beautiful succubus pulled the cloth that was covering a huge cage on the stage.
'What?'
'An emperor realm elemental slave?'
'I need to get this at any cost.'
Seeing that elemental spirit in the cage, all the participants became excited, especially a cultivator from the special chamber, he was very excited.
'I wonder how much this slave will be sold for? I need funds for the last time. I hope it can give good returns.'
He was none other than the Golden Demon Emperor and the seller of the elemental spirit slave. He requested the auction house manager to put his item as the first item and since an elemental spirit slave was a valuable item, the manager agreed without any hesitation.
'What? An elemental spirit slave?'
On the other hand, Ajax was shocked and said, "Zaglanath, I have decided. I will buy him."
'...'
However, Zaglanath's face had mixed emotions when he heard Ajax's words and scolded himself, 'I should have controlled my mouth.'
