Death... and me - Chapter 2957: About to Start

2957 About to Start

Rean and Roan ended their conversation with Foliana there. “Alright, thank you for all your help, Lady Foliana. Are you sure you don’t want a compensation? I got quite a few Spiritual Stones in the ceremony, you know?”

Foliana shook her head. “There is no need. Know your past to understand the future. That is truly a great phrase. I will hold to it instead. If you have more questions in the future, let me know. I will answer as much as I can, especially if it involves events from the past.”

Following that, Foliana was escorted back to the palace by the Royal Family’s experts. As for Rean and Roan, they decided to go straight to the Auction House. The auction was going to start during nighttime, but the private rooms aren’t infinite. They best go earlier and secure a room for themselves so they can participate without anyone knowing.

The auction could be said to be the greatest event of the festival, surpassing even the contest from the previous day. Because of that, the auction house itself was almost as big as the palace at the center of the city. Not only that, there were screens spread all over the outside for everyone to see. There were even terminals outside that allowed one to use their ID to make a bid for the items. Of course, if you didn’t buy a seat inside the Auction House itself, you most likely won’t be buying or can’t buy anything.

The twins arrived at the Auction House, and there were already thousands of experts with various cultivations coming and going. They passed by them and went to one of the hundreds of counters where the auction workers did their job. As one can expect, quite a few eyes were on them. They got quite famous after yesterday’s contest, after all. It’s just that the twins completely ignored everyone.

One might think that with the technology available, it should have been better to have all registrations go through the network. However, the auction was a tradition to this point, so although you could indeed register and buy a seat for the two days, the counters were also available for anyone willing to use them.

“Rank Five Spiritual Stones are indeed much better,” Rean couldn’t help but comment.

“And so will be higher level ones,” Roan added. “Well, perhaps we are just wasting them as well. After all, once I concoct the Void Shattering Pill, all this cultivation will have been for nothing.”

“You never know what could happen between now and that moment,” Rean shook his head. “Better safe than sorry.”

“That, I can agree,” Roan spoke and closed his eyes.

They continued to cultivate for the next hours. Finally, they opened their eyes again, the dust of almost a hundred Rank Five Spiritual Stones spread around the room. Both Rean and Roan were now a step away from the Late Stage of the Core and Soul Fusion Realm. They could have taken the next step, but the burst of Spiritual Energy might have caught unnecessary attention, so they stopped there.

Rean got up and stood in front of the window. One couldn’t see from outside, only the other way around. “Quite a nice event. There should be at least a hundred thousand experts on the seats down there. I can only imagine outside, which they say to away have many times more who could pay to be inside.”

Roan couldn’t care less. “Right… Anyway, it is about to start.”
