SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Just as everyone was wondering about what's happening with the servant lady, the painting separated from the real world and shrank back into the hands of the old man.

With a wide smile, the old man muttered a spell and released the servant lady who was stuck inside the painting.

"I hope, you all understand the use of this 'ethereal canvas of entrapment.' It can trap any organism under the Grand Master Magus stage permanently. As per mortal sovereigns, it can hold them inside for seven days. In the case of Supreme Magus, it can mostly last for an hour.

But this artifact loses its effect with usage. You need the help of a person who can do space engravings for regular maintenance. I hope I explained everything about this precious painting. Let's move onto the bidding process."

The old man walked back, letting Jia handle the rest of the bidding process.

Enough said, the starting price for the painting is five hundred thousand mana stones. Let the bids begin.

A loud gasp fell among the guests after hearing the half-million price for the painting. Many people thought the price wouldn't rise much. But the real bidders have shown up now!

Instantly, a wave of commands came from the top floors.

-Room Number 45 bids 550,000 mana stones, going once. Ah! Number 81 bids 600,000!

-Room Number 165 bids 1,000,000! Oh, number 199 is raising the price even further; 1,100,000 is the current bid!

"This…"

Seeing the crazy waves of bids, the guests looked at the VIP rooms on top. The real big families who occupied the top secret rooms began showing their stature. They all specifically came for these rare items.

The painting is definitely a good help inside the inheritance ground. For example, if someone encounters a treasure cave or inheritance building, they can stop all others from entering by using this painting. That's why the hidden big shots were not hesitating to spend millions on this one item.

-Room Number 128 bids 1,690,000! Anyone else? Oh, it seems like another distinguished guest wants to take a piece of the cake, 1,900,000!

Although the painting was indeed tempting to all others, very few of them could spend millions on one single treasure.

-Number 33, Young Master Kent bids 2 million!

Suddenly, the bids paused for a minute as the price touched $2 million. The Ice Castle girls and many disciples in the second row were eyeing Kent enviously.

Even though many people already understood that Kent is a wealthy brat, They never expected him to bid millions and compete with hidden big shots. Even peak master Porus began wondering about the family background of Kent.

After a small pause, a lady in room number 199 bid 2.1 million. Fatty taped on the glass orb and shouted, 2.2 million!

-Room number 199 bid 2.3 million! Number 34, 2.4 million!

The lady in room number 199 stopped bidding further. A deep silence filled the tower, and Lady Jia continued to call upon the guests to bid.

In the end, the painting ended up in Kent's hands for $2.4 million.

With a wide smile, Kent paid the superior mana stones and stored the painting carefully.

Next up, for our next item, I present you this.

Suddenly, a plain mirror was presented. It appeared very normal, like a house mirror.

"Guests, I'll have to be honest with you here. This item is a must-have for the disciples who were visiting the inheritance ground. This is an illusion-revealing mirror. It can even detect the previously sold Ethereal Canvas. This item actually belongs to the serpent magi of the wizard association. Illusions are the biggest threat on inheritance grounds.

So, having this item ensures your safety."

Fatty almost felt like slapping the old man after hearing the explanation. If the old man had auctioned the mirror in the first place, no one could have spent millions on that painting. It's like selling the powerful poison first and giving the antidote later for an extra price.

Listening to the description of the item, many people gave pitiful glances at Kent.

The bid starts at half a million. Let the bids begin.

Following Jia's call, the lady in room number 199 directly bid 2 Million! As she failed to get the painting, she wants to buy this mirror to get back to Kent.

-Number 123 bid with 2.2 million! Oh, number 143 is now bidding 2.5 million. Will there be a higher bid today?

"What a bunch of suckers!"

Looking at the people above in secret rooms, Fatty cursed angrily.

Suddenly, the glass orb on Kent's chair lit up.

-Number 33, Three Million! Young Master Kent, 3 million! Going Once! Do we have any higher bids?

A loud gasp fell among the crowd after seeing the Kent image again on the tall aurora glass.

"God! How much wealth did he have?"

"Will he left anything for others?"

"Someone teach a lesson to this fellow!" The Ice Castle sect girls began cursing Kent in frustration.

The bid amount stuck at $3 million, as no one dared to bid past $3 million. The lady in room number 199 also gave up on bidding as she kept all her hopes on the last remaining item.

"Number 33, Young Master Kent, 3 million! Going once! Twice! Thrice! Sold!

"Here's your item." Holding onto a golden tray, the servant lady politely bowed in Kent's direction.

"Thank you"

Smiling kindly towards the servant lady, Kent took the mirror that was on the tray and placed the superior mana stones.

"Young master, If you will excuse me, I will be leaving now. If you require my services once again, please feel free to contact me." The servant lady spoke with a deep look, as she was obviously hinting at something.

Nodding his head, Kent turned his gaze onto the stage, where the old man placed the rusty key in the center.

"Many of you might already know about this key. Its name is 'Abyssal Key.'

Loud gasps followed, and many people rose from their seats after hearing the name. The lady in room number 199 clenched her fists in determination. All the sect disciples of the Celestial Sun Fire Sect and Heavenly Monsoon Sect began gathering their wealth to bid for the item.
