Eternal Thief

The bid for the Bone Strengthening Pill reached 346,300 when it finally stopped.

Lilly finally spoke as she looked at the crowd, “As everyone can see, the guest on seat no.18-41,322 bid 346,300 high-Grade 2 Qi stones.

“346,300 high-Grade 2 Qi stones going once…

“346,300 high-Grade 2 Qi stones going twice…

“And… it’s the last chance to acquire this amazing pill for your juniors…” She smiled slyly.

“Fuck, this vixen!” An ugly demon sitting on seat no 41,322 on the 18th VIP level cursed when he saw Lilly was deliberately counting slowly to raise the bid even more.

However, to this relief, no one seemed to be willing to pay more for one pill.

“346,300 high-Grade 2 Qi stones going thrice, and SOLD! Congratulation to the VIP for winning this amazing pill.” Lilly flashed a radiant smile.

“The Auction Attendant will come to you soon. Please wait patiently. Now let’s start the bid for the second Perfect Rank Bone Strengthening Pill. It is also started on 10,000 High Grade-2 Qi Stone and each bid minimum increase is 100 High Grade-2. The bid is open, everyone!” Lilly announced.

Another bidding war break out for the second Bone Strengthening Pill.

Inside one of the rooms on the VVIP level, all kinds of Qi fruits and wine were served on a jade table, while one could see the auction on the stage clearly in a mirror projection.

Furthermore, this room was quite spacious, not like the other VVIP rooms.

But the shocking thing about this room was that not only Ewan was present, but the masked Grand Demon Duke was also sitting on a throne-like seat.

Besides the Grand Demon Duke were two masked demons sitting on each side.

While nine more demons wearing unique uniforms were sitting calmly not far away. But they were all sitting separately in pairs of three on three different sides.

“These pills will give a slight advantage to the trial participants.” A young red demon with a fierce look on his face spoke. He wore a navy-blue attire with white stripes on his arms and a black mountain insignia on his chest.

“No much, although those pills might raise bone strength, they will not increase the core strength nor their will.” The middle-aged demon in the same attire shook her head slightly.

“Instructor Kain is as wise as always.” Another middle-aged demon chuckled, but there was a hint of scorn in his voice. He wore black attire with three silver swords insignia on his chest.

“Heh, Instructor Axton, your viewpoint, on the other hand, hasn’t changed much.” A handsome demon scoffed. He wore a gray attire with a black tree insignia on his chest.

These three weren’t on the same side and belonged to different powers.

Those six young demons sitting beside these three also looked at each other with provoking gazes.

Ewan, despite being the president of the Life Demon Association in the eight provinces, didn’t speak between these demons because the status of all the demons sitting in his room was too high for even him!

“Instructor Alden, you’re as glib as ever.” Instructor Axton’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Esteem Instructors, are you interested in bidding on any items in the auction?” The masked demoness asked curiously.

Ewan silently praised her for changing the topic or he could sense that things were going south.

“Hehe, Your Highness, if anything caught this old man’s fancy, no one will be able to snatch it for me. But I’m afraid the chances of it happening is almost zero in this kind of auction.” Instructor Alden chuckled.

He didn’t even glance at Ewan while insulting his auction.

“Big words, Instructor Alden.” Instructor Axton sneered with disdain as he looked at the two young demons sitting beside him. He said confidently, “If you two like anything, just tell me, and I’ll buy it for you. Let’s see who dared to compete against me.”

“Thank you, Instructor!” Both demons quickly thanked him with a hint of excitement.

“Look who talking big words now. Hmph, if you like anything, just bid without any hesitation.” Instruction Alden was clearly provoked.

Instructor Kain, on the other hand, merely nodded with a hint of coldness, which mean he was also giving the chance to the young demons on his side to bid for anything.

The Grand Demon Duke’s eyes were completely closed at this moment as if he was in a deep sleep and didn’t hear anything.

The masked demon, on the other hand, was looking at the projection screen with great expectation, ‘If you appeared, you can never get away!’

The mask demoness, on the other hand, impassively looked at the screen, ‘Let’s see who had the last laugh, little brother.’

On the outside, the second Bone Strengthening Pill sold for 341,000 Qi stones this time, and the bidder was also a VIP.

As for the last one, it sold for 358,000 Qi stones to another VIP.

Ace couldn’t help but smile when he saw those three pills selling at such a high price. ‘I have tons of such pills I got from the Life Treasure Pagoda, and those three women consume them like water, especially that fox. Maybe that’s why they managed to increase their cultivation so much in a year.

‘Besides, the pills Noa gave me had an ever higher purity rate than these perfect rank pills. My decision to give her free rein over the raw materials was a right one.’

Ace was content when he saw just how valuable those pills with high purity rates were and, despite having a huge amount of such pills, the association was stingy with them.

He never cared about the purity rate or what kind of pills he was consuming, since all he needed was EXP and SP.

Now that he had thief house members, he knew how important those pills were for normal cultivators and powers to nurture their experts.

Lilly revealed the second item at this moment, drawing everyone’s attention. They were another crystal box, but this time there was only one red pill.

Lilly introduced, “Although this is not a perfect pill, it is even more precious than a perfect pill. It is the peak rank Low-Grade-3 Bloodline Pill which can help any demon below Demon King rank to strengthen their bloodline up to 5% percent, which means a faint chance of awakening an innate ability!”

The entire arena riled up when they heard the introduction of the Bloodline Pill.

Lilly smiled charmingly when she saw the crowd starting at the Bloodline Pill like hungry wolves.

She spoke, “The starting bid for this Bloodline Pill is… 50,000 High-Grade-2 Qi Stones and each bid has to increase by 500. The bid is open!”

Instantly, the moment Bloodline Pill’s bid was opened, its price shot up like a volcano and reached 500,000.

Even though some VVIPs joined the bid, no one thought there would be this kind of pill will be the second item of this auction.

Aliya, who was still fuming over how Ace ditched her, was also tempted by this pill. She was also a demon with a low bloodline, and this pill can help her increase her talent slightly.

Furthermore, she was extremely wealthy with 70 million Qi stones she saved from the VIP passes, and then Ace gave her a storage ring filled with Qi stones before he left.

When she saw the amount, even she felt she was dreaming, there were five hundred million high-grade-2 Qi stones, a hundred million peak grade-2 Qi stones, and ten million low-grade-3 Qi stones.

Her wealth wasn’t lowered than any VVIP or above them even.

‘Hmph, at least he knows how to repay debts,’ Aliya scoffed with a hint of satisfaction.

Like a wealthy lady, she also placed the bid as she controlled the bidding array and raised it two million directly!

The entire arena was started when the bid reached a such height, and the bidder was not from the VVIP rooms but the VIP stands.

Those in the open stands gave up since the bloodline pill wasn’t worth this much.

Even those in the VIP stands shake their heads in regret.

Lilly spoke with a smile, “The guest in seat no.18-87,900 bid the three million Qi stones!

“Three million going once…

“Three million going twice…

“Last chance to get a pill to raise the bloodline density?” She looked toward the VVIP rooms, “And three million going…”

At this moment, the number changed from 3 million to 3.01 million, and this bid came from a VVIP room.

Killing intent flashed past Aliya’s eyes as she looked at Lilly’s crafty smile.

‘She better pray I don’t get hold of her secrets!’ She raised the bid directly to 4 million without batting an eye.

This time, those in the same stand as Aliya finally looked at her with shock. They had the same thoughts; who was this wealthy lady?

Inside VVIP room no.3,764, a young demon with a handsome appearance had a frown on his face when he looked at the bid on the screen.

“Which degenerate is bidding against this young master from those lowly tribes?!”
