The bidders on the second floor chambers exchanged knowing glances, their eyes filled with determination. Each of them had their reasons for desiring the Million Souls Grimoire, and they were prepared to go to great lengths to acquire it.

A bold bid erupted from the ground floor, It was a purple robed man who raised his paddle high. "Fifty thousand elemental crystals!" he declared confidently, his voice filled with determination.

However, his bid was swiftly met with a counteroffer from a formidable bidder in one of the second-floor chambers. A swift and formidable voice boomed through the hall, "Seventy thousand elemental crystals!"

The dynamic shifted as bidders from the ground floor, mounting the challenge, responded with higher and higher bids.

As the bidding war raged on, the attention shifted to two figures engaged in a fierce back-and-forth on the second floor. A man in a black robe and a lady in an elegant gown seemed unwilling to back down, their eyes locked in a battle of determination.

The auctioneer, delighting in the intensity of the moment, announced each bid with fervor. The onlookers watched as the figures on the second floor continued to challenge each other, raising the bid incrementally.

As the hall reached a crescendo of excitement, a gasp of astonishment rippled through the audience when the lady in the elegant gown made a daring move. Her voice commanding, she declared, "Three hundred elemental thousand crystals!"

The auction hall fell into a stunned silence, all eyes fixated on the courageous bidder on the second floor. The audience marveled at her audacity and wondered about the depths of her conviction.

Yet, before the victory could be claimed, a low and commanding voice resounded from one of the private chambers on the third floor. The bidder, concealed in shadows, made a resolute proclamation. "Four hundred thousand elemental crystals!"

The crowd erupted into a cacophony of gasps, whispers, and exclamations of astonishment. The competition had reached unprecedented heights, leaving the attendees in awe of the unprecedented wealth and determination displayed by the mysterious figure on the third floor.

The auctioneer, her excitement matching that of the audience, briefly paused to absorb the gravity of the bid. With a voice trembling slightly with disbelief, she declared, "Four hundred thousand elemental crystals... going once!"

The bidders hesitated, completely absorbed in their calculations and contemplating their next move. The hall quivered with anticipation, as the air grew electric with the weight of the moment.

After a pause that seemed to stretch into infinity, the auctioneer resumed her announcement. "Four hundred thousand elemental crystals... going twice!"

The tension in the room was palpable as the auctioneer’s voice echoed through the hall. All eyes were glued to the figures on the second and third floors, waiting to see who would make the next move. The bidders deliberated, their minds racing with calculations and considerations.

The auctioneer glanced from one bidder to another, her heart pounding with anticipation. She could sense the sheer determination emanating from each participant, their competitive spirits ignited by the escalating bids. Yet, amidst the excitement, a silence settled, the kind that can only come before a momentous announcement.

Taking a deep breath to steady her voice, the auctioneer prepared to finalize the bid and announce the outcome of the first round. "Four hundred thousand crystals... going three times."

As her words hung in the air, the bidders held their breath. Time seemed to stand still as the auctioneer gazed across the room, her eyes flickering from one bidder to another. The audience leaned forward in their seats, their anticipation reaching a fever pitch.

Then, with a flutter of the auctioneer’s hand, a hush fell over the room. The moment had finally arrived. "Sold!" she exclaimed, her voice resonating triumphantly. "To the estimated guest on the third floor, for four hundred thousand crystals!"

The auctioneer’s voice resonated again through the hall, her words laced with appreciation and joy. "Ladies and gentlemen, the first round of the auction is now concluded."

The hall erupted into a cacophony of applause, murmurs, and anxious whispers. The attendees exchanged glances, some awe-struck, others calculating their next move. The atmosphere was thick with tension and excitement as the bidders contemplated their strategies for the upcoming second round.

With a steady gaze, the auctioneer extended a final decree. "We will reconvene for the second round of the auction in three hours. Please use this time wisely to consider your bids and intentions. Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation thus far."

The audience began to disperse, some deep in conversation, others lost in thought. The bidders on the second floor retreated to their respective chambers,They knew that the stakes had been raised, and they must now strategize for the next round of this exhilarating battle.

The auction hall, once filled with the fervor of competing bids, now settled into an expectant hush.

Kai chuckled softly, his voice cutting through the silence. "Four hundred? That’s indeed a considerable amount."

Liang joined in his laughter, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "It’s actually worth it. This thing could be considered an ace card for any faction."

Curiosity got the best of Kai as he looked around the hall. "Who do you think are the people on the third floor?"

Liang pondered for a moment, weighing his words carefully. "Most likely faction leaders and half-step Void Return Realm experts."

Kai’s eyes narrowed, his interest piqued. "Why so? Can’t they be just ordinary people?"

A smile spread across Liang’s face as he explained. "If you looked at the first floor, you would notice that each person there is a Half-step or Early Seventh-order Realm expert. And as for the second floor, I reckon it contains either those with large amounts of crystals or experts above the Early Seventh-order Realm."

Kai took a moment to digest the information before speaking again. "That means the next rounds would mainly be between those on the second and third floors."

Liang nodded, his gaze shifting from the crowd to the stage. "Most likely."

Kai couldn’t help but chuckle. "Even if we didn’t bid for anything, just watching the auction is worth it."

Liang raised an eyebrow, a playful glimmer in his eyes. "It’s not necessary, we could also bid for a thing or two."

Kai coughed, trying to hide his concern. "Have you forgotten about our primary purpose for coming here?"

A nonchalant smile appeared on Liang’s lips as he replied. "You don’t need to worry, I have already considered everything." His gaze then shifted to a chamber not far from them, where a crimson-robed woman resided. A flicker of contemplation passed through his eyes before being replaced by anticipation.

As the three-hour intermission began, the auctioneer gracefully ascended the stage. With a confident smile, she addressed the audience, her voice filled with excitement. "Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for the second round of this extraordinary auction. Let the bidding war continue!"
