The entire auction house could accommodate nearly a thousand people. Around a quarter past noon, the auction began as scheduled, amidst the eager anticipation of the audience. Zhou Qingchuan appeared on the auction stage. Today he wore a golden-colored robe befitting the Chief Auctioneer, and his light purple hair was neatly tied behind his ears. His appearance was naturally handsome, and today he looked even more distinguished. Many female guests in the audience screamed in excitement; it was apparent that they were not merely there for the auction but were admirers of Zhou Qingchuan. The auction house steward’s charm was truly no small feat. "Little Wildcat, who are you looking at? That lad isn’t as handsome as this King," Ye Huli squinted his eyes, his face filled with jealousy. Yun Sheng curled her lips. The lad was indeed vain, but she had to admit he was a tad more handsome than Zhou Qingchuan. "Ladies and gentlemen! I believe everyone has been waiting for today’s auction for quite some time now. We will now present the first item for auction," Zhou Qingchuan’s smile was beaming. The first item was a special Fire Attribute Magic Artifact. "This is a Fireworks created by a civilian Magic Craftsman. Its offensive power isn’t great; don’t expect it to help you defeat an Earth Bear. But I can guarantee, with my hand on my chest, that it’s enough to win the heart of a beautiful and gentle lady. Now, let’s have the Magic Craftsman who created this Firework show us a demonstration," Zhou Qingchuan was very articulate. He spoke about the Fire Attribute Magic Artifact with a teasing tone. A Magic Craftsman stepped up and after chanting a few lines, tossed the Firework into the air. With a loud bang, a Fireball streaked across the sky, which upon contact with air, quickly exploded and revealed the words "I like you" amidst the flames. This is probably the magical modern version of fireworks. For Mages like Yun Sheng, such a Firework was nothing special. However, for those who are not Mages, this kind of Firework is undoubtedly very spectacular. For lovers in the throes of first love, the significance of these Fireworks was extraordinary. A dozen Fireworks started at a base price of 100 gold coins, and in the end, they were sold for a price of 500 gold coins. The second item up for auction was a set of Combat Skills. A set of Combat Skills suitable for Martial Venerates, named Golden Gang Immortal. "Ladies and gentlemen, this Golden Gang Unbreakable Qi is a set of defensive Combat Skills of the highest quality. As long as you possess this set of skills, no matter where you are, you will be invincible," Zhou Qingchuan spoke with innuendo, and this time, the men in the audience erupted into laughter. The female guests all spat disdainfully, their faces blushing with shyness. As expected, there’s no merchant without a cunning plan. Probably this so-called Golden Gang Immortal is just the modern equivalent of endless stamina. Subsequently, several auction items were sold like flowing water, each for more than five times their base price. It was clear that Zhou Qingchuan indeed had a talent for auctioneering. He always managed to keenly capture every customer’s desires, driving the prices to their peak. Right now, Yun Sheng was eager to see how much her bottle of Moon God’s Praise would fetch under Zhou Qingchuan’s glib presentation. "Next up for auction is a unique Magic Potion that has never appeared on the continent before, with an exceptionally beautiful name—Moon God’s Praise," Zhou Qingchuan deliberately paused for a moment, "I believe most people present have already seen the description of Moon God’s Praise in the promotional brochure." "I have been an auctioneer for five years, and I’ve never seen any potion that could elevate a Magic Waste directly to the status of a Magician. To my knowledge, neither the Medicine Emperor Pavilion with its finished medicines nor the Magic Temple can achieve this," Zhou Qingchuan stated, by then noting that at least dozens of people in the audience had lit up with interest. "Next, let’s see the thirteenth auction item, the blessing for Magicians, the newly risen Little Ci’en Hall Refining’s Moon God Salute Water," Zhou Qingchuan ordered the Moon God Salute Water to be brought forward. Little Ci’en Hall? Which medical hall is that? It seems like there is no well-known medical hall called Little Ci’en Hall on the continent. Nearly everyone in the auction house was guessing the origin of Little Ci’en Hall. Unfortunately, most of their gazes revealed nothing but blankness, as they had never heard of this name before. The medicine’s color was as brilliant as the morning glow, and it churned ceaselessly like magma in the transparent crystal bottle, reminiscent of Yunhai just before sunrise. This was a beautiful magic potion, pleasing to the eye and also promising desired effects. It seemed to tell everyone that by drinking this potion, one’s body would also surge with magic elements as fervent as molten lava. "The starting bid for Moon God’s Praise is ten thousand Imperial gold coins, with an increment of a thousand each time. Let the auction begin!" Zhou Qingchuan described the function of the Moon God’s Praise in just a few short sentences. Even Yun Sheng himself couldn’t guarantee to describe the effects of Moon God’s Praise as aptly. "Ten thousand gold coins," as soon as Moon God’s Praise was mentioned, Chen Luohe was almost immediately opening the bidding. "Eleven thousand gold coins," at this moment, a girl who looked like a magic student sitting in the commoner’s section suddenly raised her bid. She was accompanied by two fellow companions. Her location was very close to Chen Lianlian and others, and as soon as she spoke, she drew the attention of everyone around her. Upon closer inspection, Chen Lianlian noticed that the girl student had a striking appearance. Her hair was frost white, her features were delicate like an elf, ethereal and extraordinary, looking no more than eleven or twelve years old, yet her figure was already quite developed, especially at the bust, which was full and bulging. Ye Beilian glanced over and couldn’t help but take a few more looks. After these few glances, the nearby Chen Lianlian became unhappy. For most magic academies, Yun Sheng’s bottle of Moon God’s Praise was a temptation. This female student was just like that. It was also her first time hearing that there was such a magic potion on the continent; they were traveling and cultivating here, and just happened to see the promotional brochure. The appearance of Moon God’s Praise caught them by surprise, so they came to the auction to participate in the bidding. "Thirteen thousand gold coins," people turned their heads to look. Upon seeing this, someone exclaimed that it was a Temple Mage from Luoxia City. Just as Zhou Qingchuan had mentioned earlier, when a magic potion that even the magic academies could not develop, it undeniably caused embarrassment for the leaders of Continent Magic such as the Magic Temple. Therefore, the Magic Temple also dispatched someone specifically for this auction. "Twenty thousand gold coins," Chen Luohe was determined to win Moon God’s Praise, and was prepared to go to great lengths to purchase this batch of potions. The female magic student didn’t even frown as she immediately responded, "Twenty-five thousand gold coins." "Thirty thousand gold coins." Suddenly, Ye Beiming from the side spoke up. Upon hearing this, Yun Sheng almost spat blood, wondering what this boy was up to by stirring things up unnecessarily. Seeing Yun Sheng in the audience seats and Ye Beiming standing next to him, Zhou Qingchuan’s expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
