《Death… And Me》Death... And Me

Rean stayed standing in the private room while Frandin sat down on the chair in front of the window. Just as Paciu mentioned, it wasn't possible to see nor use Spiritual Sense to check the people inside. However, there was also an attendant present, ready to listen to all of Frandin's orders. That being said, Frandin had to continue to pretend to be the one in command.
The people kept coming into the auction house in waves. The auction house always released a list of the items that would appear there two days prior, so they all knew what they wanted. Without a doubt, Rean's weapons were one of the reasons. Still, there were many other interesting things for auction this time. After all, this city was still a gathering point of cultivators who wanted to train in the nearby Demon Beast Region.
Eventually, all the seats were filled with people. The stage then lit up as the host of the event came forward to introduce himself.
"Welcome to our auction house. My name is Turi. As always, we are now starting our weekly event. However, I have something to announce before that. It was featured in the auction list that we would have five Middle-Level Weapons available. Fortunately, we received another huge delivery just a few hours ago, so we have more than just that."
"The person who wishes to sell it seems to be in a hurry for money. Otherwise, we would have put only a few of them for auction every week. Rejoice, everyone. It'll be hard for you to snag such high-quality weapons for such a low price in the times to come."
*Woooooo!*
The audience immediately went into an uproar. Sure enough, many of them came for the Earth Middle-Level Weapons since they were hard to find.

"Alright. That's the only change to the auction this time. Let's not waste any more time. Let's check the first item, shall we?"
A female employee then came up to the stage while carrying a pillow with a gem on it.
"This is a Fiery Magma Gem. As you know, Fire Element Affinity is quite rare, and so are the items that can be used while cultivating those elements. This Fiery Magma Gem has a high concentration of Fire Element and Yang Energy. Anyway, those who have Fire Element Affinity should already know how useful they are. The initial price for this gem is 200 Rank One Spirit Stones. The minimal bid increase is 20 Rank One Spirit Stones."
Rean couldn't help but ask Frandin by the side with a Spiritual Sense Message.
'Is it true that Fire Affinity is rare?'
Frandin nodded.
'Yes. I won't say that you can't find them, but it's quite hard for them to be born. As you know, we have the five main elements—Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and Lightning. Even so, for every one hundred newborns, you would be lucky to find 3 or 4 Fire Element Affinity kids. Was it different in your world?'
'Yes. The rate of Elemental Affinity was quite balanced back there. Well, there's no doubt that the environment of this planet made it turn out like this.'
Frandin couldn't help but become curious about Rean's world once again.
'Sister Orb, do you want that gem to balance the Yang Energy?'
[No need. As I mentioned before, we have more Yin Energy users than Yang Energy ones. That being said, I need extra Yin Energy to balance things out. Besides, that Fiery Magma Gem is several times worse than the petal in the Shaz Treasures Hall. You can see that when you think about their price difference as well.]

'Alright, then.'
The auction continued on the stage as the few Fire Element Affinity cultivators present voiced their bids.
"300!"
"320!"
"360!"
"400!"
In the end, the gem was sold for 440 Rank One Spirit Stones.
"The next item is the horn of a Deep Blue Demon Shark. It was acquired from a Peak Stage Three variant. As you know, it can be used for weapon and armor crafting. There are a few uses for it in alchemy as well. The initial price is 330 Rank One Spirit Stones."
And just like that, the action continued without any issues. Some of the items had fierce bidding battles over them. Others were so peculiar that they didn't even have a bidder in the end. Eventually, the objects began to be auctioned for Rank Two Spirit Stones were brought out. Obviously, Rean's weapons were in that category.
"Hmm?"
The next one attracted Rean's attention.
"This is a Frigid Clear Vine. As you can see, it is still alive and ready for use. The initial price is 100 Rank Two Spirit Stones. The minimal bidding increase is 20 Spirit Stones."
Rean immediately asked Frandin.
'What is that thing? The host didn't explain it at all.'
Frandin looked at Rean for a second before saying.
'You really didn't come from here. Otherwise, you would definitely know what that is.'
'Anyway, people use the Frigid Clear Vine to create what we call a Frigid Clear Pill. The Fire Element is uncommon in our world. On the other hand, Water Element Affinity is the opposite. From every 100 newborns, you will most likely have 40 to 50 of them being Water Element Affinity ones. Naturally, Water Element related items are the most used.'
'In the Frigid Clear Pill's case, it is used to increase one's Affinity Level with the Water Element. It's quite a good item.'
Rean was shocked to hear that.
'What?! You have pills that can increase one's Elemental Affinity Level?'
One must remember that the Affinity Test had many levels. Rean and Roan, obviously, were able to achieve the highest Dark and Light Element levels. At the very least, it was the highest that the test could show. However, others were not the same. They had to train hard to slowly increase it. For example, Calina's Yin Energy Cultivation Technique would improve one's affinity to Yin Elements over time, like water. However, a very long time was needed. This was the first time Rean heard about something that could improve it straight away.
Immediately, Rean sent a message to Roan explaining everything. After all, pills were his department.
'This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. At the very least, I didn't see such a thing in the Sunkan Planet. Anyway, buy it for me.'
Sure enough, Roan was very interested in that thing.
