?"The starting bid for the Enlightenment Stone will be 10 million high-level essence stones and the increment will be 500 thousand essence stones each!"

When Evan heard the starting price for the Enlightenment Stone, he didn't show any surprise.

Knowing that the Enlightenment Stone can be helpful even for Rank Four and Rank Five Core Evolvers, he already expected that its price would be astronomical.

"11 Million,"

"13 Million,"

"13.5 Million,"

Most of the people who were in the private rooms participated in the auction because of the Enlightenment Stone, so the moment it appeared, all of them started to bid without caring about the price.

Inside the room no.2, there was a male humanoid figure that looked as if he was made from metal. The figure was two meters tall and was bulky in build.

He was the famous artefact refiner of the Star City, Master Arden, the person who put the rank three airship for the auction. He was a Beigginer Level Rank Four core evolver and was very respected in the Start City.

When the auction for the Enlightenment Stone started, his silver eyes flashed with excitement.

"If I can get the Enlightenment Stone, then I might be able to become a Peak Rank Three artefact refiner in just two or three years..." Arden muttered and pressed the red button in front of him.

"20 Million,"

As an artefact refiner, the only thing Arden didn't lack was essence stones. He had brought most of his savings in the auction and was sure that, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to acquire the Enlightenment Stone.

When Arden suddenly increased the price by more than five million, the auction house fell silent, but not long after, a cold female voice resounded.

"25 Million,"

When Arden heard the voice, he looked at the room next to him and snorted coldly.

"So that chicken is also here..." He muttered and once again increased the price.

"28 Million,"

Inside the room no.3, a woman with long red hair and golden eyes frowned. A silvery aura that looked like flame burned around her and similar to Arden, she was also a Beigginer Level Rank Four core evolver. The woman's name was Solara and she was a Phoenix.

Unlike Arden who was an artefact refiner, Solara was an alchemist and she was also quite famous in the Star City.

"30 Million," Solara didn't care about Arden and increased the price once again.

The people in the private bidding rooms were silent for some time when Arden and Solara were bidding, but it didn't last long and other people also started to bid.

"31.5 Million,"

"32 Million,"

"34.5 Million,"

Evan's mouth couldn't help but twitch when the price reached 35 Million in just a few minutes. He looked at Cedar and noticed he had a serious expression on his face.

"50 Million,"

At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and the auction house once again became silent.

People looked in the direction of room number one with shocked looks on their faces and wondered who was inside it who suddenly increased the bid by 15 million in one go.

Thomas didn't care about the way people were looking towards his private room and remained indifferent.

When the news of the Enlightenment Stone came out, his father contacted him and asked him to buy it.

Thomas was confused as to why his father wanted to buy Enlightenment Stone because they already had two law formations in their home.

But since his father asked him to buy that stone, he naturally had to do his best to get that thing.

"Fifty Million High-Level Essence Stones..." Evan muttered in a dazed voice and didn't know what to say.

Even the people who were present in the other private rooms were stunned. 50 Million was not a small amount even for Arden and Solara.

Arden gritted his teeth and once again bid, "51 Million."

Although he knew he would have to work day and night for a few months if he spent so many high-level essence stones, he was still determined to get the Enlightenment Stone. 𝒇𝒓𝓮𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝒐𝓿𝓮𝓵.𝒄𝒐𝙢

"51.5 Million," Solara was the same as him and she also did not want to give up on the Enlightenment Stone.

'If I can get the Enlightenment Stone then I might be able to become a Rank Four Alchemist...' Solara thought inwardly and took a deep breath.

Thomas frowned when the bid increased once again. He hadn't expected people to continue bidding after it reached 50 Million. (f)reeweb(n)ovel.com

"55 Million," He stayed silent for some time and said after a moment. Despite his father's noble status as a duke and the extensive territory under his control, 55 million high-level essence stones were still a considerable amount even for him.

Evan shook his head when the bid reached 55 million and looked at Cedar, who was deep in thought. "Should we leave? I don't think there is any point for us to stay here anymore."

Cedar didn't answer immediately and looked at the Enlightenment Stone that was on the stage.

"56 Million,"

While Cedar was looking at the stone, Arden once again increased the bid.

"Damn this artefact refiner..." Thomas cursed when Arden increased the bid to 56 Million.

He looked inside his storage ring and after confirming the total amount of essence stones he had, Thomas took a deep breath.

"60 Million," He said loudly, hoping to end the auction by increasing the bid by another 4 Million high-level essence stones.

Most of the people who were inside the private rooms were regretting that they didn't try to bid for the Rank Three airship. All of them wanted to try their luck on the Enlightenment Stone, but the current price was out of their reach.

"The person in room no.25 must have known that he wouldn't be able to get the Enlightenment Stone so he wisely chose to bid for the airship..." A man who was also in one of the private rooms said.

Generally, a mid-level rank three airship sells for 5 to 7 million high-tier essence stones at the auction because they are not easy for Artifact Refiners to create.

Even Arden rarely makes Rank Three airships because it consumes too much time and the chances of failure while making a Rank Three airship are very high.

The reason Cedar was able to get the airship for three million essence stones was because most of the people were thinking about buying the Enlightenment Stone and didn't bid for it.

"60.5 Million..." In room no.3, Solara gritted her teeth and increased the price after looking at a pill that was inside her storage ring.

"If I exchange this Peak Rank Three pill, I should be able to get around 12 million high-level essence stones..." Solara said in an annoyed voice because she never thought she would have to use her peak Rank Three pill.

Thomas was stunned when someone once again increased the price and his eyes gleamed with slight BloodLust. He wanted nothing more than to kill the person who increased the bid, but knew that he couldn't do anything even if he wanted.

He took some deep breaths to calm down and looked at the Enlightenment Stone that was on the stage with a hesitant look on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and pressed the red button again.

"65 Million,"

Both Arden and Solara were stunned when Thomas increased the price by four million once again and their faces fell.

They looked at the Enlightenment Stone that was on the stage for a few seconds, and in the end, shook their heads.

"65 Million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?" Lucian asked in a loud voice. Even he couldn't hide his excitement when he said 65 million.

When the auction started, he estimated that the Enlightenment Stone would sell for about 50 million, but he never thought that its price would reach 65 million.

Even after a few seconds of Thomas's bid, no one increased the price. When Lucien saw that no one was raising the price, he shook his head.

"65 Million going once, going twice and so_"

"100 Million,"

Just when Lucian was about to close the bid, a slightly excited voice, as if waiting for this exact moment sounded.

Thomas was already on cloud nine when Lucian started to close the bid, but when he heard the excited voice, he nearly spat out blood in anger.

Even though he wasn't in the same room as the person who increased the price, just from his excited voice, Thomas could tell that the person deliberately waited until the last moment to increase the price, so that he could shatter his hopes.

Lucian, who was ready to end the auction was stunned when someone directly increased the bid to 100 million.

He was so shocked that even though he was a Rank Three Core Evolver, he still felt his mind go blank for a moment. But it did not take him long to come back to his senses, and a look of excitement appeared on his face.

"100 Million. Is there anyone willing to bid higher?"

Before the people could even register his words, Lucian clapped his hands and started to close the bid as if he was afraid that the person who bid would retract his offer.

"100 Million going once, going twice, sold to the bidder no. 25, congratulations!"

The moment Lucian closed the bid, people finally came back to their senses, and a loud chaos erupted in the silent auction house and the people looked towards room no. 25 with their mouths wide open.

Inside the room, Evan also looked at Cedar with a stunned expression on his face, still trying to process the event that had just unfolded.

While people looked in his direction with shocked expressions, Cedar remained silent and looked at the Enlightenment Stone on the stage with a smug expression on his face.
