First Opportunity
Inside the VIP room, Li Chen was still enjoying his tea as he has no intention to bid for the pill
In this world, pills, herbs and other elixirs are divided into 9 grades with the 1st grade being the weakest and the 9th grade being the strongest.
"I see. System please notify me if the sword is up for auction system as I am tired." Li Chen said to the system as he sat in a lotus position with his eyes closed.

People started bidding for the 3rd grade pill
"1100"
"1300"
"1400"
"1500"

"Going once, going twice, Sold to the gentlemen for 2500 gold. Congratulations" The auctioneer said as she signaled for the second item to come in and people could see a girl who brought in a book.

As the auction goes on, items were being sold left and right as people continue to bid
Even Zhang Fei and Zhang Kai obtained some items as well, but most of the items are sold to the vips.
As including Li Chen, there are a total of 10 vip rooms inside this auction hall.
As the auction progresses people started to be more and more enthusiastic as the later items become better and more expensive.

"Throughout this auction, I have gained some precious herbs that will help my growth. However, it seems like there isn't anything else I could get unless I use some of the techniques that master has given me." Zhang Kai thought inwardly as the last item sold was over 15000 gold.
The auctioneer continue the auction as this time a person holding an oddly shaped black colored sword. It's hilt and guard were also made by the same black material. Other than its odd look, the sword doesn't seem to be anything special.
Even the auctioneer herself was surprised to see an ordinary looking sword be auctioned this late into the night.
As Zhang Kai was ignoring the sword, his master Jin Ling's voice appeared in his head.
"Get that sword no matter the cost Little Kai. I could sense the presence of an extremely strong person inside it. Even if you don't have the resource, I still have a low tier Heaven grade technique that is worth a million gold so bid as you like little Kai" Jin Ling said as she said eagerly to Zhang Kai.
Zhang Kai was surprised to hear the words of his teacher, and he was interested to see just what can make his master to have such reaction.

Inside one of the VIP rooms Li Chen was currently sitting in a lotus type with his eyes close when the system interrupted him.
Ding*
[The protagonist Zhang Kai's opportunity has appeared]
Opening his eyes, Li Chen saw a girl holding a crescent moon shaped sword on the stage and he heard the auctioneer said,
"This sword is an ancient relic estimated to be from the era before the Great War. However, even with our auction hall's best appraiser, we could not determine the grade of this sword at all.
People started to mutter as they are confused whether to bid for the sword or not.
Some people are excited hearing the words "Great War" while others thought that it was only an exaggeration by the auction hall to sell something useless.
The auctioneer interrupted everyone's thoughts and said "The Starting BID for this sword will be 100 thousand gold and the increment will be no less than 10 thousand gold."
When everyone inside the room heard that, people were surprised to hear such high price for an unidentified object.
———
Inside another VIP room, a girl and a boy who looked 50% similar was also seeing the moon shaped sword in the stage. They both have blonde hair and yellow eyes, and with the expensive clothes that they are wearing, they radiated the aura of royalty.
And it should be known that ever since the start of the auction, this VIP room has bought more than 50% of the items auctioned today.
"Brother, isn't this sword interesting?" The girl said.
"Bah.. other than its shape I don't think that sword is anything special, so I won't bid for this sword. Remember sister, we are here for 'that' item." The older looking boy said to the younger looking girl beside him.
"Of course brother. 'That' item will be ours." The girl said as both brother and sister started to laugh.
