That evening, Wei Lan was waiting for Paul in his bedroom.
She was wearing a set of seductive lingerie under a half-transparent bathrobe.
Seeing her like that immediately made him aroused so without wasting a second they began to cultivate.
Paul even thought about releasing the order that kept her from being under the influence of the effect of her physique, but decided against that as they had to be able to control themselves and stop the moment her cultivation fell below the second stage.
During this session, Lan wanted to be on top, to which Paul happily obliged and soon her levels began to drop again, while his levels began to rise.
It didn't take long for them to reach the point where her cultivation went below the Bone refinement stage at which point they had to stop the fun.
Wei Lan was not happy about it, side effects or not she enjoyed the pleasure and wanted more.
-Calm down, after you master the technique, there will be many more enjoyable nights in the future.
Paul said while she was lying in his arms.
Whether they continued to cultivate or not, she had no intention of sleeping alone that night.
Paul cultivated in the morning, and he again leveled up by quite a bit, reaching level 63.
This time he didn't get as many levels but it was still Quite a jump.
Wei Lan on the other hand was now at level 98 and Paul's theory was proven to be correct.
Now all she had to do was to get back to the second stage and master the technique.
Before they knew it, it was time to leave for the auction house already.
Paul wore his black and silver outfit, which looked even better now that he had long hair.
Fei Fei, to his surprise, instead of her usual red dress, wore an emerald green dress which emphasized her seductive figure.
-Have fun, you two.
Anna said when they were leaving.
The carriage was waiting for them outside the gate as usual and soon they were on their way.
The auction hall was surrounded by a crowd, but the people made way for their carriage
Paul and Fei Fei got to the entrance and after presenting the invitations they were led to their private room.
During this short period, every man was looking at Fei Fei almost drooling, while many women were charmed by Paul.
Of course, the jealous gazes were as present as the admiring ones.
The women were jealous of Fei Fei's beauty and her handsome companion, while the men were jealous of Paul's ability to charm almost every woman around with nothing more than his presence alone.
They both felt the gazes from the surrounding people but didn't care about them and even if they cared, there was nothing they could do about them so it was better to ignore them.
In the room, they were served some tea and snacks, while they waited for all the guests to arrive.
Both of them were looking at the item list and discussing whether to try and bid for other items as well.
-It might be hard to bid for more items, I don't have that much money on me and I don't know how much I will get for the carrots.
He said.
Many items would be very useful to them, but there was a limit to their budget.
-Don't worry about that, I also have my funds so there should not be a problem unless we go for the top items that we don't want or even need.
Fei Fei said.
-I know that you do not want to depend on us for anything, but it might be a good idea to get it through that thick skull of yours, that we also want to help you as much as you want to help us.
She added, stopping his response.
Paul knew that she was right and the only thing that prevented him from accepting their help was his stubbornness.
-Alright, we will do it your way.
He yielded.
In the end, he would most likely have to depend on her help to get what they wanted, so there was no reason to argue about it.
Especially since this was not a small town but a province capital, there was no way that he could compete with the wealthy and powerful clans here with his meager wealth.
-Paul, how much did the appraiser estimate you would get for the carrots?
Fei Fei asked suddenly.
-She said that the minimum would be a hundred million, why?
Paul said not understanding what she was getting at.
-Do you see the two older men who just entered?
He saw the men, accompanied by two young ladies.
-The one in the blue robe is a sect master of an alchemy sect while the other one is an elder from the alchemy guild.
I have met them before, but I have no idea how they got here since they are from the imperial capital.
She explained.
-If these two are here, then you might get much more than a hundred million for your items.
-You mean to say that they are both wealthy and most likely won't pass the chance to get the mana carrots.
-Exactly, but stating that they are wealthy is an understatement, to say the least.
Paul understood that high-level alchemists were always wealthy the same as healers.
It was one of the reasons that he wanted to become one.
Fei Fei was surprised at how many people from the imperial capital had arrived for this auction and even more surprising was the fact that she knew many of them, if not personally, then at least from the rumors about them.
The Auction house was filling up slowly and soon the host came to the stage to deliver the greetings speech and also to explain the rules.
After that, the bidding began.
The first Item to be auctioned off was a cultivation technique meant for the mages.
Its unique trait was that it was not limited to any affinity and worked the same for everyone.
Even as it was only the first item and it was of no use to many people, the bidding was fierce.
It started from two thousand gold coins and ended at over sixty thousand.
Paul knew that the items here would be unique and their prices would be high, but this almost blew his mind.
The technique was definitely unique, but considering that all it took to get a technique you needed, was to go to the scroll shop and pay at most a few thousand gold coins.
This price was insane.
Seeing his shocked expression Fei Fei was amused.
-Have you forgotten that such events are not only for buying precious items but also for demonstrating one's wealth?
