Rise of the White Dragon

In VIP room number 69.

Luan, Lenore, and Nora waited for the auction to officially start.

At the moment, there were still people arriving.

The place was getting more and more crowded.

The number of people was bigger than a football stadium at the World Cup finals.

The atmosphere was a little tense, but also very lively.

Many were full of expectations. Since the number of items that would be auctioned was at least 500 items.

Although they knew that many items would be picked up by the people in the VIP room, that doesn't mean that all items would be bought by the rich.

The commotion continued as more people arrived.

Minutes later, there were at least 100,000 people.

There were a lot of people at the auction.

It is true that there were more people in the city, however, not all of them came specifically to bid on the auction, but rather, to take advantage of the overcrowding of people full of money to try their luck and manage to do business abroad.

"Luan? What you-"

Nora didn't even finish talking, as Luan brought even more food.

Lenore puts her hand to her forehead and sighs.

"Oh? Won't you?" Luan raised an eyebrow in response as he placed a table full of delicious foods on the table.

The auction hadn't even started yet, and even though he wasn't hungry, Luan liked to eat.

One of the perks of being cultivated, no matter how much he ate, it was hard to feel full and he didn't even have to worry about gaining weight.

Luan took a roll of ham, cheese, and ground beef and took a generous bite. Soon the mouthwatering taste spreads and he closes his eyes in pleasure.

'Yes, eating is one of the wonders of life~' Luan said in his mind.

They are seeing Luan eat and show such a satisfying expression. Nora and Lenore can't help but dry-swallow their saliva.

Not resisting any longer, Lenore was the first to go to get a ham and cheese roll with ground beef.

Nora soon approaches and starts eating too.

'You still have time until the auction starts, yes?' She told herself in her mind.

As the three ate, the auction was about to begin officially.

The master of ceremonies entered.

She was a very charming woman in a sexy blue dress that was somewhat revealing. She was tall, almost 180 cm, and high heels that highlighted her curves more than excellent, her smile was prettier than a blooming flower, and her long pale green hair was loose but she couldn't hide a pair of pointy ears.

Her green eyes sparkled and the green eye makeup and green eyelashes, it highlighted her beautiful eyes even more.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen!" She suddenly said with a charming smile, in her seductive voice: "Welcome everyone to the opening of the auction: The One. I will humbly be the master of ceremonies today, my name is Paolla, I hope you all have fun and are able to find something you are looking for~!"

At first, some thought she was an elf, but they soon discovered that in fact, this beautiful woman who had a beautiful voice and was very hot was actually half elf and half succubus.

Her charm was not limited to just males, even many females were affected. Maybe that's why she was chosen to be the master of ceremonies at such a huge auction.

Soon two women with pointy ears, most likely elves or half elves, came in pushing a silver cart with a large white scarf on top.

After placing the affection on the master of ceremonies' left side, the two women bow in reverence and leave.

Still smiling, Paolla, the master of ceremonies, said as she pulled back the white cloth covering the cart, "The first item to be auctioned is this rank 5 healing potion. There are a total of five vials."

Something not very common, but it was almost an extra life depending on the situation, because of that, the demand was great.

"The starting bid starts at a thousand." As soon as her voice dropped, the panel showing each person's numbers started to pop up as the value started to rise.

The panel was large and circular in shape, for everyone inside the great hall to see.

In a short time, the price reached 2.4 thousand.

"Nobody else?" She counted five times before closing and bringing up the next item.

The process was quick and simple. There was no fuss or unnecessary fights like in ordinary auctions.

The auction system only showed each person's number but did not say who it was.

The person who got the item didn't even know if it was from one of the twenty VIP lounges.

Soon the second item arrived.

It was a useful Qi pill for cultivators from the Fourth Order to the Fifth Order.

Item after item was arriving.

100 items appeared, but none caught the eye of Luan and the mother-daughter pair.

When she got to the 140th item, Nora finally showed a reaction.

"This vial contains exactly 700 ml of the blood essence of the Sixth Order Golden King Cobra. The initial bid amount starts at 500K." Paolla's seductive voice hasn't even finished leaving, and they've already started bidding.

"1 million." That was Nora's first bid.

People who saw the price double were amazed.

Not everyone had 1 million available. It was too much!

The bidding stopped. After all, more than that is beyond what they were willing to pay.

Nora hit precisely the maximum number of people who were also interested and because of that, the bidding stopped.

"Good." Luan looked at her and smiled.

Even at the tower store, it would cost around 1.1 million. 100 thousand more expensive.

People who could bid 1 million either have access to the tower store or know someone who does. That's why they weren't willing to raise the price.

Besides, it's just the beginning. Something similar or even superior to the blood essence of the Sixth Order Golden King Cobra could appear.

"Very well, mother." Lenore said with a small smile.

"Hehee~" Nora smiled at their compliment.

She was very familiar with the prices of the tower shop. Despite no longer having access, she still had her means. And when it came to blood essence... Well, she pretty much listed all the prices from Order 5 to Order 6.

"Highest bid goes to number 69!" Paolla said in her excited voice.

That had been the highest bidder item so far.
