?(A/N: In some of the previous chapters, I accidentally converted the essence stones at a ratio of 1:1000 instead of 1:100. I have already corrected the mistakes that I found. Sorry for the inconvenience.)

===============

There were a total of fifty private bidding rooms in the auction house. To secure a private bidding room, one needed to possess at least five hundred thousand high-level essence stones. Due to this stringent requirement, only thirty-three private bidding rooms were occupied when the auction started.

Evan and Cedar were inside room number Twenty-Five and were looking at the Vampire who just appeared on the stage.

Not far away from their private bidding room, in room number one, Thomas was also looking at the auction venue through the glass wall with no expression on his face.

As he looked at the venue, the door of his room opened, and a woman with two wings on her back entered.

"Master Thomas, the two elves you mentioned are currently in room number 25," She said upon entering the room. She was the same employee who led Evan and Cedar into the private bidding room.

Hearing the winged woman, Thomas did not look at her and just waved his hand, telling her to leave.

Once the woman left, Thomas took a deep breath and his red eyes flashed.

After the incident at the inn, he had inquired the three vampires about Cedar whom they had seen coming out of the Dark Forest.

The three vampires were confused when Thomas suddenly asked them about Cedar, but they told him how he left the Dark Forest with a person who looked like a half-elf.

When Thomas heard Cedar left the forest with a half-elf, he immediately connected the dots and came to the conclusion that the beginner-level brown-coloured elf who gave him the dangerous feeling was actually the half-elf who left the forest with Cedar, and he was using an artefact to change his appearance.

As for the reason why he felt a lethal threat from his blood, Thomas could only think that because of being a mixed blood, Evan's blood went through a mutation and turned into something that is dangerous for people.

After concluding that Evan possesses special blood, Thomas asked people to keep an eye on him.

Although he wasn't 100% certain, Thomas was at least 99% sure that Evan's blood was very special, and if he somehow successfully absorbed that blood using his Blood Feed Racial Skill, his potential would definitely increase, and he would be able to progress even faster.

'After absorbing his blood, I might be able to catch up with Amber...' Thomas thought inwardly and his eyes glowed. 'Although I can't start any trouble in the Star City, it won't be difficult to capture him once he left the city.'

While Thomas was lost in his thoughts, the auction finally started.

"Welcome to our Auction, ladies and gentlemen. I, Lucius Crimson, will be your auctioneer for today!"

The handsome vampire who appeared on the stage said with a smile on his face.

Evan looked at Lucius from the glass wall and couldn't confirm his Rank. 𝙛𝓻𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝒎

"He is a Beginner Level Rank Three Core Evolver," Cedar said in a low voice, shocked that even the auctioneer was a Rank Three Core Evolver.

"Rank Three..." Evan was also stunned when he heard Cedar and looked at the handsome vampire with a frown on his face.

In fact, it was not only Evan and Cedar; even the other people who came for the auction were stunned as well.

Lucian was the vice manager of the Blood Moon Auction House and he had quite some reputation in the Star City, so people were surprised that he was acting as auctioneer today.

But soon people thought about the Enlightenment Stone that was the focus point of the auction and all of them understood why he was here.

Lucian didn't care about the murmuring of the people and said in a loud voice that spread throughout the auction venue.

"Just like always, today, we once again have many treasures, artefacts, pills, and other things that we are going to auction off," Lucian said and paused for a moment.

He looked at the people who were staring at him intently and smiled. "And of course, as all of you already know, we also have the rare Enlightenment Stone that all of you want so without further delay, let's start the auction."

Lucian looked behind him and a beautiful beast woman with fox ears brought something covered with a red cloth.

The fox woman stopped near Lucian and he removed the red cloth, revealing a light blue sword that was emitting a chilly aura.

"This is a beginner-level Rank Two Sword, Glacial Edge," Lucian said as he picked up the sword. He imbued his world essence into the sword, causing it to glow with a light blue colour.

"This sword is made from the bones of a Rank Two Frost Echidna and Hurricane Starium."

Using the sword, Lucian lightly slashed upwards, and an icy hurricane that could easily freeze a normal beginner and mid-

level Rank One Core Evolver erupted from the sword.

The icy vortex surged towards the ceiling of the auction house and just when the icy hurricane was about to reach the ceiling of the auction house, a golden formation glowed and the icy hurricane disappeared.

People who witnessed the power of the casual slash of the Glacial Edge sword were stunned, and their eyes lit up with excitement.

Seeing the fiery gaze of the audience, Lucian grinned.

"Let's start the auction. The starting bid for the Glacial Edge will be 15 million low-level essence stones, and the increment will be 500 thousand low-level essence stones each!"

"16 million essence stones,"

"16.5 million essence stones,"

"20 million essence stones,"

The moment, Lucian finished speaking, people started to bid crazily.

Evan: "..."

Evan looked at the people who were bidding crazily and decided to keep his mouth shut.

'Only stupid people need a sword, my fists are hundreds of times better than the swords...' Evan comforted himself and nodded his head.

"That sword is impressive, but even a Rank Two Core Evolver will find it hard to use it," Evan suddenly heard Cedar's voice and saw him shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" Evan asked with a look of confusion on his face. In his opinion, the sword was actually quite good.

Although he was in the private bidding room, Evan could still tell that the casual slash Lucian had demonstrated earlier was powerful enough to turn any normal Rank One Core Evolver into an ice statue.

When Cedar heard Evan, he looked at smiling Lucian and said with a sneer on his face.

"That sword requires a very high amount of world essence to release such an attack that he demonstrated earlier; even a beginner-level Rank Two Core Evolver can only unleash two or three attacks of that level from the sword before running out of world essence."

"Just two or three attacks..." Evan was stunned when he heard Cedar and finally understood why he said that the sword was not easy to use.

'If even a beginner-level rank two core evolver can only use that sword two or three times then doesn't it mean I can only use it for one time before running out of the World Essence...' Evan said inwardly and looked at the people who were bidding crazily with a strange look on his face.

"33 million essence stones,"

"40 million essence stones,"

The price of the sword continued to increase, and in the end, it was purchased by someone from private bidding room number 12.

"Forty-five million low-level essence stones..." Evan muttered with a dazed look on his face and did not know what to say. In the past two days, he had spent around two hundred thousand mid-level Essence Stones, equivalent to twenty million low-

level essence stones, purchasing hundreds of different kinds of herbs, monster cores, and different kinds of high-quality materials. freewebno(v)el.com

But the person who bought the sword spent 45 million on a single thing.

Other than being shocked, Evan was also a little excited.

'Since all of these people are spending money crazily then the things that I put for the auction might also be able to fetch a sky-high price..' Evan said to himself and thought about the space stone that he had seen yesterday.

'If things go as I planned, then I should be able to buy the space stone even though its price is 50K high-level essence stones.'
