SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

"25,000 mana stones by Young Master Lin. Going Once!" Jia, the auctioning lady who stood on the auction stage, spoke loudly with a cheerful smile.

Below the stage, the bald guy Lin turned towards Princess Eila with a proud face. "Princess, that spirit ring is for you. I hope our two sects will cooperate inside the inheritance ground." Lin spoke like a gentleman.

"Young master Lin, you don't need to do this. My Ice Castle is always ready to make friends." Eila spoke modestly.

"No, princess, I insist that you should accept this ring." Lin spoke like a struggling kid.

But just as he spoke, the glass orb glowed from the corner of the second row.

"-Oh, it seems like another distinguished guest wants to own the spirit ring and he bid 30,000 mana stones!" Just as Jia spoke, the image of the new bidder appeared on the tall aurora glass, attracting everyone's gaze.

Bald Lin hurriedly turned towards the person who made the bid. A slender guy with a Heavenly Monsoon sect badge on his chest waved his hand towards Lin with a wide mocking smile. The Heavenly Monsoon sect is also among the top four sects of the blue planet, and the slender guy is definitely trying to mock Lin.

Bald Lin gritted his teeth in frustration. He already gave his word to Eila, and all the girls in Ice Castle were staring at him with judging looks.

Looking at the rising price, any thoughts Kent had on buying the spirit ring were immediately thrown out of his mind.

Although the spirit ring was indeed tempting, anything more than 20,000 mana stones for it was a bit too much.

After giving a murderous look to the slender guy of the Heavenly Monsoon sect, Bald Lin touched the glass orb and bid 35,000 for the spirit ring.

A deep silence lasted for a minute. Understanding the situation, Jia declared the winner.

"Number 28, Young Master Lin, 35,000 Going once! Going twice! Going thrice! And sold!"

In the end, bald Lin received the spirit ring from the servant lady after paying the mana stones. Soon, it ended up in the hands of Princess Eila. The Bald Lin appeared depressed after that exchange.

"What an exciting first item. Now onto the next item. Right before you guys is a…"

For the next half an hour or so, different items came and went as everyone fervently bid for them.

To be honest, although all of the items were somewhat interesting, none of them were something that Kent particularly needed, so he wasn't tempted to buy anything.

Just as he felt bored, the old wizard on stage revealed a golden inscription yantra that caught the eyes of everyone. 'Heavenly protecting Yantra' the name and image of the Yantra displayed on the aurora glass.

These powerful Yantras were the reason why everyone came to this auction. One powerful yantra can save a life in critical situation. It is a must-carry item for every disciple who is going to enter the inheritance ground.

Peak Master Porus also leaned forward to read the description of the yantra on the aurora glass. Loud murmuring followed as the yantra attracted everyone's attention.

"Respected guests, this is the best yantra our wizard association is auctioning today. It can protect you from the attacks of supreme magus combined with evolved beast attack. The yantra is named 'Heavenly Protecting yantra' because it has multiple uses. Using this, you can escape, defend, or attack your enemy. In other words, it's a lifesaver for you.

Any disciple who owns this yantra will have an extra life line inside the inheritance ground."

As auction lady Jia finished her words, loud whispering followed. Many sect elders decided to buy this yantra for their disciples. The powerful families who sat in the first row also got ready to bid.

"I hope everyone understands the importance of this yantra. The initial bid price is 1 mana stone." Jia spoke with a sly smile.

Just as she finished, multiple bidders raised their hands.

-Number 21, 30,000 mana stones! Number 6: 40,000 mana stones!

Just a few seconds later, the price crossed 60,000 mana stones, pouring water over Peak Master Porus's wish to buy the Yantra for Kent. Realizing his purchase potential, Porus smiled to himself.

-Young Master Lin, 70,000! Ice Castle lady, 90,000! The price rose at great speed.

-Number 1, Master Lan, Hundred Thousand Mana Stones.

The commotion paused for a second after the price hit a hundred thousand mana stones. After hearing the name of Master Lan, many families stopped bidding. But the price didn't stop there for a longer time.

-Number 27, Ice Castle Princess, 110,000 mana stones! Number 19, Heavenly Monsoon sect, 120,000!

-Number 1, Master Lan, 130,000!

At 1,30,000 mana stones, the price stagnated for the heavenly yantra. The three sect disciples were hesitating to bet further. There are still many big items to come, and they also need to save money for purchasing other necessary items for them and also for their close ones.

Princess Eila gritted her teeth and placed her hand on the glass orb. 'Hundred and forty thousand!' she announced in a serious tone.

'Hundred and fifty thousand' the elder man named Master Lan, who sat in the first seat, spoke instantly.

The aurora glass is displaying the image of Master Lan, who wore research glasses. Beside him, an eighteen-year-old chubby girl sat with a smug face.

Finally, the fight came down between Princess Eila and Master Lan. Eila is the head of the Ice Castle now and for the future of Ice Castle, she must survive. That's why she is not hesitating to spend a great deal of wealth on that lifesaving yantra.

As her sect girls encouraged, Princess Eila again touched the glass orb. 'Hundred and fifty-five thousand!'

Just as Eila spoke, her image was displayed on the aurora glass, attracting everyone's attention with her beauty.

Immediately, the chubby girl beside Master Lan put on a sad face and stared at Master Lan with a pitiful look. "Father, what are you hesitating for? I want that thing no matter what."

She spoke like a two-year-old who wants ice cream. But only Elder Lan knows the pain of spending wealth.

The chubby lady is the only heir of the wealthy Lan family whose family members work in wizard association. Even though the chubby lady's magical powers are top-notch, her mind is still like that of a teenager.

Finally, with a hesitating look, Master Lan touched the glass orb and said, 'Hundred and sixty thousand!'

But as he spoke, a glass orb glowed on seat number 33. Rising his hand, the young man said, 'Two hundred thousand!'

Princess Eila almost jumped from her seat as she heard that bidding sound from the young man who sat behind her.

On top of the aurora glass, an image of Kent is displayed, who is leisurely sipping the wine from the wooden glass. As princess Eila stared at him with wide open eyes, Kent winked at her with a cynical smile.
