Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

As soon as Vincent left, Tara faintly smiled as she looked in the mirror beside the bed.

'That healing potion is weird… A mid-grade potion in the appearance of a diluted low-grade potion? Why is that?' Tara pondered for a moment. She then started to undress so she can see her wounds better.

Then, the sound of her robe falling on the floor was heard. She stood fully naked in front of the mirror as she caressed her wounded abdomen.

She was previously pierced by a blade in this spot. However, there was no bloody injury on it right now and what replaced it is a scabbed wound!

Before she took a bath, the wound was still open and she was still slightly bleeding from it. She expected that it would take her two to three days to get fully healed and readied herself to wear a bandage.

As she thought of this, she found another incredible thing that happened to her body.

"What? That potion doesn't just possess a strong healing effect, it slightly recovered my Celestial Powers as well! This is amazing..." Tara muttered in shock.

She didn't focus too much on it a while ago, but it seems that Vincent's healing potion was really special. Normally, such healing potions can only affect the physical body… Their Mana or even their Soul's Aura requires a different type of potion to get healed.

It is similar to her Celestial Power. A potion for physical health shouldn't be capable of healing her Celestial Powers! If there is indeed something like that, it would definitely be coveted by every Celestial Being in this world!

Nevertheless, she didn't immediately mention this to Vincent. This is a very sensitive topic after all. Aside from that, it can also be a coincidence.

Perhaps, because of her battle against the other Celestial Being, her body started adapting to this world again and she slowly recovered a little bit of her Celestial Powers unknowingly.

With that in mind, Tara flicked her fingers as a mechanical sound was suddenly heard within her room.

Instead of sleeping normally, she actually transformed her Celestial Armor into her Sleeping Chamber again. This way, she can continue recovering her Celestial Power even while sleeping.

Vincent woke up early feeling refreshed.

Though he hasn't advanced to a 3-Star Knight yet, he felt that he made a breakthrough with his visualization method.

It's getting a lot easier for him to visualize the image of the goddess in the painting.

He then left the inn early and didn't disturb Tara.

"Vincent, the Grand Auction will start in a couple of hours. We won't be accepting any Appraisal tasks for today and everyone will help in this event. We need to make sure this Auction will be successful." Therese said as she saw Vincent arriving.

He actually went to her office after noticing that there is no other people in the Appraisal Hall. Though there are still items that needed some second or third appraisal, it seems that they can be done after the auction.

"I understand… Is it alright to watch the Auction? I haven't been in one so I wanted to see it for the first time." He requested.

"Of course, I'd like you to accompany me later on… We received a message that Bone City's number one Appraiser will be joining the auction. The two of us will be welcoming him."

"Number one Appraiser? How is that even being ranked?" Vincent asked in surprise.

"It's through competition of course. However, that man wasn't just a renowned Appraiser but an Adept Mage as well. He should be considered as strong as that Soulless Cleaver from yesterday." Therese explained.

Vincent was awed by that, after all, Joran was definitely strong considering he has three Celestial Beings… Does it mean that the number one appraiser also has Celestials?

'Ahhh, no… She only meant that they're both Adept Mage.' Vincent thought as he recalled how the man was hiding the fact that he has three Celestial Beings following him.

Time quickly passed as the Grand Auction was finally about to start.

During this time, Vincent was introduced to some of the major powers within the city.

There is Alain Shi, the young master of the Shi Family who is very influential within the city. Their family has a Trading Business and several taverns in various cities. The one that was burned yesterday was actually the property of their family.

'Shi Family… Are they connected to that underground path?' Vincent mused as he recalled that the Tavern they own was targeted because of that secret entrance.

Manager Therese then introduced Madam Fey to Vincent. She manages the Whisper Pavilion and she's not accompanied by normal guards as escorts but there are two courtesans behind her.

Vincent can easily tell that the pavilion is somehow similar to a brothel.

As expected of a business that focuses on its appearance, the three ladies from the Pavilion immediately caught everyone's attention. Their beauty including their alluring scent wafted throughout the hallway.

There is also Count Miller Marshall who was together with his sons but they were all inside a VIP room and no one could see them.

Finally, Vincent was introduced to Luc Diederich, a 30-year-old man who has achieved the level of an Adept and was considered the top Appraiser in the city he came from.

He came to the Auction House alone and wearing a white Appraiser Robe… Not many people know him but because of the Appraiser Robe he's wearing, many people could tell that he's an important person.

Soon, the auction started hosted by an old man who seems to be in his sixties.

Nevertheless, the Mana Fluctuation he's emitting was definitely at the level of Master Magician considering the cold aura around him. He must be a Master Magician who focused on developing his Ice Element.

The items that Vincent had the chance to appraise were sold quite quickly as the main attraction of the event gets closer.

The Necklace of Silence was sold for 40,000 gold coins or 400 mana crystals. The Valor Vambrace was sold for the same amount while the Lesser Illusion Blade was sold for 120,000 gold coins considering it's an Epic Weapon and not just an accessory.

After several minutes, there are only two items left to be auctioned off.

One of them is the Shadow Urn. It is the Pseudo-Legendary he previously appraised together with the Necklace of Silence.

As for the main event, it is the item he failed to appraise yesterday.
