There was nothing strange in the Ganges Auction House. It was just a normal and peaceful day for
everybody.
Austin kept on staring at the giant crystal screen on the wall of his room as he sipped his tea from an
antique cup. The crystal screen showed the auction inside the hall on real time.
In fact, Austin wasn't alone in this room. The maid who received Austin tried her best to flirt with him.
This woman kept stroking her long, black hair in front of him. Once in a while, she walked back and
forth in front of him, wriggling her round hips and swinging her waist all the way, just to attract his
attention.
Austin, as a mighty, young man, had gotten into her charming aura. He was attracted to the maid but
tried so hard to keep it on himself and pretended that he didn't see anything at all. Austin kept in mind
what he was doing here all the time.
He quietly sat there and gently sipped on his tea cup. Austin looked like a decent gentleman in the
maid's eyes who did everything to catch his attention. At last, she gave up because she thought that
they were not on the same page. Disappointment could be seen in her angelic face. After a while, the
maid curled her lips and just sat in the corner.
Then the auction began. It didn't have a strong start and nothing made Austin excited.
Only those people in the hall offered prices while those who sat in the VIP rooms seldom showed their
offers.
"Ding!"
A sudden rang from the crystal platform was heard. It caught Austin's attention despite his deep
thoughts.
The white headed auctioneer took a small silver plate from one of the maids standing behind him. The
gentleman quickly opened his mouth and flashed a wide smile on the audience.
As the silver plate were shown at the auction, Austin found that there were two small and transparent
jade bottles on it. There was a pale cerulean elixir that was rolling around inside each bottle.
The elixirs attracted the attention of the crowd when the auctioneer took the plate by his hands. Elixirs
were equally important as cultivation methods in the world of cultivators.
Besides, some of the elixirs could directly improve the cultivation bases. With this, a lot of cultivators in
the auction were determined to get them.
"Everyone, kindly listen. This is called Energy-advancing Elixir, and I believe that most people have
heard of it before.
This elixir is especially made for the cultivator of Earth Realm which can help the cultivators at
preliminary stage of Earth Realm to step into the medium stage and the cultivators at medium stage to
jump into the premium stage. We all know there are lots of cultivators who are having a hard time to
take another step. But with these two elixirs, you don't have to worry anymore.
Aside from that, it is one of the high grade elixirs that have carved lines. Even though there is only one
line on it, its effect is much better than those that don't have. Once you swallow it, your probability of
breakthrough will improve by seventy percent!"
The white headed auctioneer introduced as he pointed at the elixirs inside the bottles.
Even just before he finished his introduction, the entire hall was stunned. The people began speaking
into each other's ears as they pointed at the powerful plate.
All the cultivator of Earth Realm fixed their eyes on the plate. They seemed so willing to get the plate by
spending their money on it.
It was a big temptation for cultivators of Earth Realm, because it could help them to destroy the barriers
of breaking through.
Everyone knew that the hardness of breaking through to a cultivator depended on their level. The
higher level a cultivator was, the harder for him or her to break through and get into the next level.
In conclusion, it was much harder for Earth Realm cultivators to go into the next level in comparison
with Energy Gathering Realm cultivators.
It was proven a lot of times by every cultivator who had successfully stepped into the Earth Realm.
The longer the time for people allotted for cultivation, the harder would be to break through the barrier
and step into the next stage.
Back to the auction house, now that the Energy-advancing Elixir could largely improve the chance of
breaking through, a lot of cultivators were ready to pay a lot. Normally, when a cultivator decided to
break through, they must have made some achievements in their lives. But if they were able to get
such a great elixir, their chance would be one hundred percent. It was no wonder why the eyes of the
cultivators were lit up right away when they heard it.
Even the well-off cultivators in VIP rooms took an interest to the Energy-advancing Elixir when the
auctioneer vividly introduced it.
After all, Earth Realm cultivators were the dominating group among the sects in Violet Orchid Empire.
The power of a sect was decided by how many Earth Realm cultivators they had and the skills these
cultivators possessed.
Aside from this, the Earth Realm cultivators were the actual supreme existence because they decided
whether their sect could survive. Thus, the fighting capacity of the Earth Realm cultivators played a
crucial part in the development of the sects.
It was no doubt that the Energy-advancing Elixir was one of the most popular and rarest material for
cultivators.
However, things did not turn out the way one wanted it. This elixir was so precious because there were
only a few refiners in this empire who could make it. Anyone who could get it would be one of the
luckiest cultivators in the industry.
According to other people, the highest level of refiners found in Violet Orchid Empire was only the third.
Luckily, this Energy-advancing Elixir was exactly a third level one.
This was the reason why lots of sects were willing to purchase it regardless of an expensive price. Not
everyone was fortunate to get one because the supply could hardly keep pace with the demand.
"Good day everyone! Ladies and gentlemen, these two Energy-advancing Elixirs were made by the
second most famous refiner of our empire, Master Yan. I believe that all of you must have heard of him
and know how his capacity is!
I would just let this speak for itself. I need not say any words. It can be guaranteed that the elixirs would
be a big help for all aspiring cultivators!" the auctioneer cheerfully added.
The auctioneer paused for a while. Then he waved his right hand and smiled at the audience. He said
in a loud and energetic voice, "I officially start the auction for this. The upset price of each Energy-
advancing Elixir is three hundred and thirty thousand vital energy crystals. Overall, it will be six hundred
and sixty thousand!"
"Seven hundred thousand!"
Hardly had the auctioneer finished his words, someone had shouted his price loudly in the hall.
"One million!"
Another cultivator shouted right after the first one.
A lot in the crowd were shocked as gasps were heard all over the place. The second cultivator quickly
added thirty thousand vital energy crystals without any hesitation. It seemed that he was determined to
get it, and his wealth obviously gave him more power than others.
And needless to say, he was sitting in one of the VIP rooms.
