"Honored guests, we shall now auction away the first item. What this hidden item is, I will reveal it to you now ``. With that, the old man extended his arm to grab the cloth and abruptly tore it away to reveal a small vial bottle. Inside the small vial, a silver liquid glowed, lighting the entire stage with its light.

"The very first item is the Radiant Soul Healer. For the honored guests who are unfamiliar with this item, it is hard to come by medicine that has the healing effect of a hundred high-quality healing potions combined. As its name suggests, it could not only heal physical wounds but it could also heal any soul damages to a certain point"

"The starting price of the miraculous once in a lifetime item has the starting price of 50,000 gold coins! Minimum 5000 increase per new bid, you may begin bidding!"

"55,000 gold coins!"

"60,000 gold coins!"

"70,000!"

"75,000 coins!"

...

Just as the host finished speaking, the people in the audience immediately started to fight over the Radiant Soul Healer. This potion was indeed superior in every way compared to the healing potion Michael brews. This potion required extremely rare herbs to brew. He could make more gold coins by selling normal healing potions than searching for these rare herbs which was a waste of time in his opinion. Of course, he could always buy the herbs from the system store except the system's price for each herb was ridiculously high.

As Michael sat and watched the people around him fight for the medicine, there was a faint smile on his face. He realized this auction is going to make him richer than he was initially expecting. After a fierce battle, the bottle of Radiant Healing Potion was sold to the highest bidder for a price of 95,000 gold coins.

The whole audience became silent for a few moments after the first item. Everyone stared at the auction stage, waiting for Goron to bring out the next auction item.

Surprisingly the old man didn't give another long-winded speech or any description about the item; instead, he just pulled away the cloth revealing a glowing longsword. The longsword was constantly producing a buzzing sound, and it was trembling from within to escape the glass box.

Many people could identify that it was a Rare Weapon with a single glance.

ANy weapon that was above uncommon class was extremely scarce and expensive in the Elon continent because, in the Elon Continent, there were only a handful of Blacksmiths who reached 3-star or star levels above it. That handful of Blacksmiths rarely sold anything they made in auctions like these since they all tend to sell the weapons to only a certain people they wish to.

Therefore it was very difficult for a rogue cultivator or one who doesn't have a powerful background to obtain a Rare Weapon. The last time Michael saw these weapons in action was at Nether Realm. They were quite powerful yet he wasn't interested in them as the people sitting downstairs.

"This is a Rare Weapon, and the starting price is 100,000 gold coins. Each new bid must be increased by 10,000 coins. Do I have 110,000?"

"Don't tell me that this is the Fusion Stage Magical Beast...."

"Fusion Stage Magical Beasts actually look like this? It's clearly dead but how could it still radiate Arch energy?"

"Today is the day that I finally got to see a Fusion Stage Magical Beast"

"It really is a Fusion Stage Magical Beast's carcass. It seems like a Blackwing Saurus"

...

"Human, we must get this corpse no matter what" He heard Gaya's voice through the earbud. She sounded extremely excited.

"Definitely someone from your end will get this, just make sure you know who" he could tell she was suppressing her voice so no one near her would hear her. It was no secret to Michael that if a cultivator and a magical beast of the same stage fought, most of the time, odds were at the side of the magical beast because the magical beast has a tougher body, more resistance to spell damage, and innate abilities.

Magical Beasts were also very different from humans as they would usually stick to their own areas instead of strolling out and about. If they did come across any humans, those humans would surely die. He knew how powerful a Fusion stage cultivator could be after traveling with Lailah. If it wasn't for the system leaving a mark in her soul that prevented her from hurting him, he would have shred to pieces in a blink of an eye when she attacked him. She was the most powerful cultivator he had ever met since he came to this world. A few veena notes from her could kill a hundred Core formation warriors in a few mere moments. So he was able to imagine what damage a Fusion stage beast could do.

After the Fusion Stage Magical Beast was revealed, the originally quiet auction house instantly buzzed to life. Everyone's gazes gathered on the Fusion Stage Magical Beast's body lying on the stage. The sounds of intense discussion and gasps of amazement overlapped ceaselessly. Among the people present, quite a few had lived for dozens of years, yet had never seen a Fusion Stage Magical Beast before now.

"Ladies and gentlemen"

Suddenly, the old man's voice spread throughout the entire auction house. After these words, the loud and chaotic auction house gradually calmed down.

The old man standing on the stage smiled as he looked at the hundreds of thousands of people attending the auction and loudly declared,

"Ladies and gentlemen, this magical beast in front of me is indeed the Fusion Stage Magical Beast Blackwingsaurus. Although it has already lost its monster core, it is still a treasure. I'm sure that everyone sitting here knows that eating a Fusion Stage Magical Beast's meat for a long period of time will not only strengthen your body but will also improve your cultivation speed. A talented Blacksmith could forge powerful weapons and items using the skin and bones of the magical beast. Don't forget that consuming a potion or pill made using the parts of this beast would significantly decrease the chances of meeting bottlenecks in your cultivation journey. However, what I'm going to tell you next is what makes this magical beast truly special"

Including Michael, everyone was on the edge of their seats expecting the old man's next words. Many people in this world had reached the end of their lives trying to break the bottlenecks between two cultivation stages. The chances of meeting bottlenecks after breaking through to the Core Formation stage were higher than any other stage. Because of this, many were stuck on the Core Formation stage, trying desperately to break the bottleneck to reach the next stage. Although the chances of stumbling upon a bottleneck at the Core Formation stage were higher, it doesn't mean there are no bottlenecks in the stages after Core Formation.

"The skin of this Blackwingsaurus can withstand a tremendous amount of damage. Even our warriors and mages of the Core Strengthening stage couldn't cut through the skin, and they attacked with Rare class spells and weapons"

After hearing the host's last sentence, the originally calm auction house once again burst into a clamor. Everyone was staring intently at the Fusion Stage Magical Beast on the stage, filled with feelings of desire and greed.

At this time, everyone imagined one thing, an armor made of Blackwing Saurus skin that could make them nearly invincible before a freakin Core Strengthening stage cultivator.
