Chapter 65
"The first item we have is a favorite of the restaurants, it"s the c.o.c.katrice!" The very first item that was brought out was the reason Ed came to this auction . "Well, this is sudden…" If anyone could see under Ed"s mask they would see a wry smile .
"The c.o.c.katrice is a King Establishment monster, however hunting it is very difficult . It lives in packs and can petrify you if you"re not careful . Its meat is regarded as a delicacy by all food lovers . " The host was explaining everything about the c.o.c.katrice . "I hope not all items go through the same procedure . " Ed thought .
"The starting price is 2000 gold coins, you can start bidding now!" Many people started bidding frantically to get the monster, however, Ed remained calm . There was no way an item almost specific to the auction, would be the only one . There was bound to be more c.o.c.katrice bodies that would be sold separately .
"The first c.o.c.katrice body has been sold for 5000 gold coins!" Indeed the host confirmed Ed"s theory right now . More and more bodies were brought out . Ed theorized there would be at least a dozen of them . The ones after the first were only sold for 3000 gold coins . It was still quite high for a King Establishment monster .
Ed finally started to bid on the 6th c.o.c.katrice that was brought out . There was another man who kept challenging him for it, but Ed finally shut him off after doubling the price . He got the body for 4000 gold coins . It was more than some others, but Ed was satisfied after beating the other man . There were ten c.o.c.katrice bodies in total that were sold . Ed wondered how the shop he ate at had gotten the c.o.c.katrice if only ten would be sold every time . "I guess some people resell them at a higher price . "
"Now for the next item!" The host moved on and brought out one monster after the other . Soon enough, Ed"s monsters started appearing . Apparently, they were showing them according to their cultivation level . The first monster was sold for 6000 gold coins . "Quite high" . The price was more than what he got from the guild . "As expected from an auction" Ed thought .
Soon enough, all of the monsters he got were sold . The highest leveled monster was sold for 20 . 000 gold coins . This alone covered the expenses of Ed and more . In total, Ed made 115 . 000 gold coins . He was very satisfied with this result . Ed could now simply walk out and he would have finished his business in the auction, but he decided to continue partic.i.p.ating . There might be an item that would benefit him greatly .

Ed could now simply walk out and he would have finished his business in the auction, but he decided to continue partic.i.p.ating . There might be an item that would benefit him greatly .
More and more monsters were brought out . Heavenly establishment monsters were sold for up to 100 . 000 gold coins . It was obvious that the stronger the cultivator, the stronger the monsters he could hunt, so strength really did rule . Even in making money .
"Now everyone may I have your attention . Today we have a special item . It"s the body of a transcendent Establishment monster . These types of carca.s.ses don"t appear so easily, it took almost 50 men to bring it down . " Behind the host, some helpers brought out the body .
It looked as if it was at least 30 meters long . It was a snake that had some wings on it . "Could it be a Quetzalcoatl?!" Ed was surprised by the monster . It appeared in legends back in Earth but he never expected to see it directly . "As expected from a cultivation world!" Even Ed was excited at this .
"The starting price is 500 . 000 gold coins!" The price was high but not too high . However, Ed expected that it would probably go for more than 1 million, and it did . It was now 1 . 5 million and still increasing . This was the result of two old men who seemed like they were royalty of some sorts . In the end, the oldest looking one bought it at 2 . 5 million gold coins . Such a price was beyond anyone"s imagination . "I wonder how he"ll pay for it" Ed thought .

"Now let move to the second phase!" The host didn"t seem to delay anything and moved on after finishing with the transcendent monster . "First off we have an a.s.sortment of precious metals . From Mythril to Adamant.i.te . These metals will not be sold separately and the price starts at 20 . 000 gold coins . " The metals shown were all eye-catching .
"System, shouldn"t they be worth more since they"re so precious?" Ed found it weird that all these metals would be sold together at such a low price . Making weapons from these metals would definitely produce rare weapons, so the price should also be high .
[Most of the people in the auction are royalty or cultivators . They already have their own weapons . Plus it would be wasteful to buy the metals since they would still have to forge them, so the price of the Blacksmith would have to be added . ]
"I see" Ed took this chance to buy the metals . He was planning to craft some weapons for his monsters, and now he found the materials .

"I see" Ed took this chance to buy the metals . He was planning to craft some weapons for his monsters, and now he found the materials .
The system was right . Almost no one had bid for the metals . Even when people did, they quickly gave up when they saw Ed pushing, so he got it for 35 . 000 gold coins .
"Now we"ll move for the weapons!" Weapons of all sorts were brought up . Axes, spears, sword…Even bows were brought up . Ed didn"t care about these weapons . He scanned them and found that most of them were of rare quality, with the exception of an Epic quality sword . The weapons were sold one by one, and when it was the sword"s turn, Ed noticed that Norris finally bid on something . "I see, so he came for a new weapon . " Ed guessed it was probably for the upcoming tournament .
"Let"s mess with him" Ed also bid for the weapon . He didn"t want it or need it, but he simply wanted to bug the obnoxious Norris . He even went as far as to activate the Sharingan, so he could have a good look at him . This way he could notice even the slightest chance in his QI, making him able to predict when he would stop bidding . In the end, Norris bought the sword for 75 . 000 gold coins, when its price should not have exceeded 30 . 000 . He looked like he held a grudge now against Ed"s disguise .
"Now then everyone, the first day of the auction is done . We ask for you to join us tomorrow as we have even more exciting items!" And so, the first day of the auction had finished .The first item we have is a favorite of the restaurants, its the c.o.c.katrice!
