"Welcome beautiful ladies and handsome gentlemen.

A big of round of applause for the auspicious occasion of the 1816th Grand Auction of the Year.

I am Ellie and this year I will be the one responsible for the first phase of Auction..."

A very pretty woman standing on the stage giving a long speech, a speech of at least 10 minutes before the start of the auction.

"Second bro, how long will she take?" A guy with a brown hood asked another person with the same colored hood.

If noticed closely anyone can see the first guy who asked the question was continuously fidgeting.

Of couse these were Yan Qingchang and Yan Zhongyue.

"Can you stop being this nervous?" Yan Zhongyue replied to Yan Qingchang in a helpless tone.

"I... am not ner--" Yan Qingchang was about to reply when Yan Zhongyue's glare stopped him.

"Y-Yeah, I am nervous I guess.. But t-this is the biggest gathering I...I ever saw in my whole life. You can not blame me for that!!

To be honest I am speechless how come you are fine with this pressure?! You are not my generous, dashing, intellig-" He was about to go on and praise Kylo when he was interrupted by his twin.

"There is nothing to be nervous. We are on ground floor. No one would be bothering with little characters like us on the ground floor.

In fact there is not a single person here who knows us and they will never know us." Yan Zhongyue said in a calm voice before he continued.

"Anyways, stay calm! Nothing will happen, so stay calm okay?"

"Alright, you just jinxed it!" And the other twin gave up.

"Master why did you choose black?" Anastasia asked Kylo who was sitting beside him on a sofa they were sitting in a private room.

"Hmm? Just because..." Kylo replied while shrugging his shoulders.

"Well does not really matter. Black is the best!!" Anastasia clapped her hands once and said in a cheerful voice.

"Why?" Kylo asked with a look of interest on his face.

"Well, black is the best color because no other color can change its color.

Black does not allow other color to show its beauty.

You see, I want to be like black color so that nobody can change me."

Kylo raised his eyebrows when he heard this but did not interrupt. She continued

"Black is modest yet arrogant, it is the most aristocratic color of all.

You can be quiet and it contains the whole thing.

Black is lazy and easy yet mysterious, black just says 'I don't bother you- don't bother me'." Anastasia said with a sigh.

(Author Note:- This entire thing is a mixture of many quotes said by many famous people.)

Kylo could not see it but when she said this, but her mysterious blue eyes were shining brightly with a tinge of golden color.

When she said this all the time she was looking at Kylo. Kylo frowned because he could not understand it.

Just when he was about to ask more he hears Ellie's voice from the stage.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, the wait is finally over.

Here we bring you the first auction item of the day." The lady completed her speech when two people, one good looking man and another pretty lady bought a sword on a trolley.

(Author Note:- Don't skip here. I know many of you guys skip few auction scenes, since I am also one of them...

Did I just say my secret? *cough* *cough* nvm.)

They placed the trolley in front of the host and left. The lady continued "This is the Karkrep series sword number seventy six.

As other Karkrep series this one is also made

of mentocy, and even though it is rusty since ages has passed but one should not forget this is a 'Holy' level weapon.

No further explanations should be needed about the weapon. The starting bid is 1000 dark blue crystals with 50 minimum bid.

Now without any further wait, lets begin."

Crystals were the stones that contained the energy the fighters required to cultivate. Fighters can just purify the energy in the air to purify and cultivate it but having specefic crystals just makes it easier for them.

It not only saves the time but depending on the crystals it can also increase their cultivation base depending on the purity of the crystals.

Yes the color denotes the purity. The purer the crystals the better it is to cultivate them. It can not just increase their cultivation base but also increase the thickness of energy they have inside them.

The thickness of the energy makes a lot of difference between cultivators of the same level.

For example if an attack consumes 10% of the energy of a cultivator who has 1mm thickness of energy inside his body, it will consume 7% of the energy of the other cultivator of the same realm with 2mm thickness of energy inside the body.

That is why crystals are used as currency in most of the worlds in the universe.

(Author Note:- Crystal currency for different types of energy and the conversion rate updated in auxiliary volume.)

"Hey second bro, should we bid for it?" asked Yan Qingchang while looking at the rusty weapon.

"1200 purple crystals." someone made a bid.

"That is not in our list." replied the other twin cooly.

"1200 purple crystals bid from the gentleman of A25 seat." said Ellie in a loud voice.

"But, but that is one of the Karkrep Series!!!" exclaimed the nervous twin.

"1450 purple crystals." two more people made a bid when the brothers were having conversation.

Yan Zhongyue looked at him and said "What about money?"

And Yan Qingchang instantly shut down.

But his eyes glittered towards the people making bids.

***

"That poor bidder." commented Anastasia after seeing Yan Qingchang's glittering eyes.

Yan Qingchang was glaring at the bidder who won the sword with 1800 purple crystals.

"*haa* don't use your eyes on stupid stuffs like this." Kylo said with a helpless smile on his face.

She put her hands on her face, particularly on her eyes and just smiled under the hood.

Slowly she crawled towards Kylo. She kissed his cheeks over the hokd while her hands slowly started rubbing his inner thighs.

Kylo looked towards her and smiled. He took out a rune with a complicated formation on it and poured his devil Qi to activate it.

A small dome was created which covered both of them. This rune would only be active for one hour. Outsiders would not be able to see or sense anything inside the dome for an hour.
