Tristan received the millennium ice and immediately touched it. He felt his hand almost immediately get frost bite, but he didn"t think too much about it when he saw the system.[Millennium Ice Essence]
[Absorb? Y/N]
Without any hesitation, Tristan absorbed the millennium ice essence. His body felt like it was become ice itself. His cells were crystallizing, but then the dragon bone aura he absorbed briefly emanated for a nano second and the millennium ice continued fusing with his body harmoniously.
Finally his system sounded out.

Tristan was put into deep thought. He wasn"t sure what the First Plate was. But he guessed that it had something to do with the quality of his evolution.
Meanwhile, other VIP boxes as well as guards were all in shock. For just a moment, a horrifying aura had emanated from within VIP Box 11, but disappeared the next moment. Any thoughts that people initially had of doing something underhanded was quelled at that very moment. People realized that White Star probably had an extremely powerful guardian of some kind who warned others to back off.
On the other hand Heavy Matter, who knew White Star"s ident.i.ty sighed. He only further resolved to not let anyone else know about it at any cost.
The auctioneer then continued. "The next set of items are also from Vast Expanse, but more clearly, from one individual"s personal collection of items. We now bring forth the White Star collection items."
Liu Daobai and other groups were interested as well. They wanted to see what exactly this White Star was auctioning that made the Vast Expanse a.s.sign an entire collection for him.
"First item is a very elusive fruit that grows only once every hundred years and has a remarkable property. Golden Fruit! Just eating one alone will help a person create a Golden Body Physique! Today we will be selling only 10 of these, that is probably a haul of a thousand years!"
Immediately the auction house was put into an uproar. Liu Daobai coughed out in shock. "Ten... Ten... golden fruits?"
When Tristan heard the description, he too shook his head. When he had joined the Blue Beetle mercenary group, he wasn"t aware what the golden fruit was and those four idiots had been talking about the fruit as a sure vegetable they would gather.
Immediately all the powers, including Vast Expanse elders rushed to purchase the fruits. This was a perfect item to give to young geniuses.
Each of the fruit sold for 80 - 100 million dollars. Tristan made about a billion dollars with ease just from selling 10 golden fruits which were useless to him.
Then the auctioneer yelled. "We now have a second product. This is also a fruit with a property that might potentially be even more remarkable than the golden fruits. We have been told that the fruit"s colloquial name is "Frightening Tomato" and it seems to be a new species that has grown in the corrosive remains of an extremely powerful creature.
This fruit has a remarkable property of creating a physique with resistance to corrosive properties. It creates a physique with 35% corrosion resistance in one go. This is a one time use fruit and we have only five on auction."
"85 million!"
"105 million!"
"200 million!"
The bids for the first tomato just kept getting higher and higher. Finally it was sold for 200 million dollars.
When the second fruit was about to be auctioned VIP box 1 suddenly announced. "Mr. White Star, I would like to conduct a private trade with you for this fruit. A treasure exchange if you may?"
The auctioneer was stunned and looked around. VIP box 1 was actually one of the foundations of the Auction and he had no way to refuse. He quietly stood on stunned.
Soon VIP Box 11 spoke out. "I would much prefer that over money, however, I would like to look at the object you wish to trade personally, since it isn"t appraised by the auction."
The voice from Box 1 spoke out. "Very Well. Allow me." Soon a black shadow came out of Box 1. No one could see what was in the shadow for it was darkness itself. The Shadow calmly entered the box that belonged to White Star.
"It is a pleasure to meet a young talent like yourself, White Star. Even if you are hiding behind a mask. You can call me Forever Shadow, I am one of the pillars of the government. Here is the object I wish to trade with you."
Tristan picked up the object, it was an a ball made of a mysterious material, but Tristan could make out that it was simply a container for what really was within.
[Destiny"s Truth]
[I am the past, I am the future and I am the present. My name is Destiny]
Tristan immediately looked at Forever Shadow. He was quiet for a good minute. "The two objects cannot even compare. Not to mention that I have no use for this, this fruit is nothing compared to this item."
Forever Shadow laughed. "In fact I am not giving you a gift. I am asking you a favor. I hope that you can deliver it to it"s true owner."
"How do you even know I would come across the true owner?"
Forever Shadow laughed. "The mana told me. Hold onto it tight."
Then Forever Shadow returned to his own Box and the red fruit in the auditorium automatically flew to him as well. From within his box he spoke again. "Continue."
The auctioneer gulped, before the third fruit was introduced. This time VIP Box 8 spoke up again and went to meet Tristan.
