The very next moment, the host's voice resonated through the air once more, "Right now, the Blackwing Saurus will be auctioned. The starting bid is 300,000 gold coins. Every time a new bet is proposed, it must be at least 10,000 gold coins higher than the previous bid"

"I bid 310,000 gold coins..."

As soon as the host finished his declaration, a bid was immediately heard from one of the VIP rooms.

"320,000 gold coins..." A voice from another VIP room declared.

"330"

"350,000 coins..."

"400,000"

One after another, frighteningly high bids rang out from the VIP rooms in the auction house. Currently, none of the people sitting in the general area of the auction house could interject.

If one wanted to purchase the Blackwing Saurus, they not only had to have enough money, they also had to have a certain amount of strength. Otherwise, as soon as they left the auction house, the Blackwing Saurus would get stolen from them.

That's why the people fighting over the Blackwing Saurus right now had to have reached a certain level of power, and were not at all concerned about it being stolen from them.

"Half a million coins"

The fight over the Blackwing Saurus was extremely intense. In just the blink of an eye, the price had already risen to the astronomical value of half-million gold coins. Moreover, it was still rising, without showing any signs of stopping.

"600,000 gold coins. This Blackwing Saurus will be our Foxlow's. If anyone dares to fight us for it, they'll make the entire Foxlow clan their enemy" A deep voice echoed from one of the VIP rooms. Its tone was extremely arrogant, and it was evident that the person was determined to win.

"Foxlow clan, as in Kingdom Dradel's Foxlow clan?"

"It's actually the Foxlow clan. They're Kingdom Dradel's number one clan and are extremely powerful. Even the Kingdom Dradel's lord is extremely courteous to the Foxlow clan. I didn't think that they'd come to attend this event."

Hearing the words ``Foxlow clan", the auction house immediately buzzed with conversation. Although the Foxlow clan was not a superpower of Kingdom Dradel, their relationship with the King of Dradel and the important noble families of Dradel gave them enough power to become an influential house there.

"Haha, Foxlow clan's people, you can't say that. This place is an auction house. No matter what, it will go to the highest bidder. Our House Fisher will bid 1 million gold coins. This Blackwing Saurus will be ours for sure." A slightly aged voice rang out from the opposite VIP room in response to the Foxlow clan member.

"Isn't the House Fisher a power from Royal Land? "

"The House Fisher is extremely low-profile. Even the Royal family of Royal Land avoids clashes with House Fisher."

"Yea, I remember a few years back, one of the rich, spoiled princes offended a young miss of the House Fisher, and the prince was mercilessly beaten by the miss's bodyguards. Everyone thought the Royal family would be outraged at House Fisher but instead, the Royal family issued an apology notice to House Fisher"

"No shit, it's said that the House Fisher is actually the strongest family in Royal Land. However, because they're extremely low-key, they normally don't show themselves, to the point where some people have never even heard of them"

"You're absolutely correct. I wasn't aware of them until I went to MorningStar and met Alex Fisher"

"House Fisher...isn't Celina's boyfriend's name Alex Fisher?"? Michael thought after the little quarrel among the VIPs.

After the House Fisher had spoken, the only sounds heard were of a few people discussing among themselves. For a while, nobody else bid. Even the previously determined Foxlow clan had suddenly fallen mute in a period of hesitation.

Immediately the Foxlow clan offered the high price of 1.9million gold coins, making many gasps for air in shock.

An Epic spell was extremely rare in Elon Continent and any single Epic spell could make a cultivator dangerously powerful even if the cultivator wasn't at higher stages of cultivation. Even the superpowers in Elon didnt have more than a couple of Epic spells under their belt and adding one more than their rival would always give them the edge. Hence, the superpowers went all in for the spell.

Before the auction house could resume its price war, another voice called out, "The House Oswen bids 2million"

The House Oswen had one-upped the pressure on the Foxlow clan.

"Bang!" Then suddenly, another sound came out from the Foxlow clan box.

Michael saw there are a total of 5 middle-aged men and an elder sitting in the Foxlow clan VIP box. One of the middle-aged men dressed in a white robe heavily slammed his fist on the wooden table in front of him, creating an indent in it.

"House Oswen, you dare to compete with us, the Foxlow clan? Fine, we'll make you regret it." The white-robed middle-aged man said through clenched teeth, a dark expression on his face.

The other people had unsightly expressions on their faces.

"If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid that the Epic spell price will clamber up to a point that even we cannot reach," The elder said with a downcast expression.

"What other choice do we have? This fucking spell has attracted quite a few people. Now, all the powers still fighting over it aren't any weaker than our clan." The white-robed middle-aged man said in exasperation.

"2.1million"

At this moment, another voice declared a price. Seeing the price climb higher and higher, the expressions of the few people from the Foxlow clan became more and more unsightly.

The middle-aged man's eyes flashed fiercely, and he shouted, "Foxlow clan bids 2.2million"

"Jesus Christ! I should start planning to rob these people," Michael thought, raising his brows.

[Only if the host has adventured out more, you could have found a subordinate with a forger trait. Then, you would have been able to forge a spell to make a shit load of gold coins] the system scolded Michael. Its voice was not at all friendly, in fact, it sounded extremely annoyed.

The VIPs continued to fight for the Epic spell until House Oswen won the spell for a whopping 2.5 million gold coins. Although Michael was jealous of their wealth, he was also happy thinking that his herbs had the chance to sell for more than he had been expecting.

After the Blackwing Saurus and the Epic spell, everyone was at the edge of their seats waiting for the next item. Many couldn't sit still without craning their heads to scan the stage.

"Something's wrong" Michael could see the genuine smile on the old man's face disappear as it was being replaced by a fake one. Almost as if he was trying to smile and look calm. The old man walked to the stand which was not as big as the Blackwing Saurus's.

"Oh come on"

"Show us the item!"

"Yeah, show us!"

The people downstairs began to shout at the old man's sloth-like movements. Finally, with a small sigh, the old man removed the cloth to reveal nothing but a round pebble.

"What the fuck?"
