After the puppy was sold, the next item to be brought on the stage was seeds of a tree called Xaradina. As it was related to gardening Elena's group needed to buy it. But she was not going to bid on it as this was something she was going to spend her money on. So instead of Elena, Monika started bidding for these seeds.

But Monika was way too excited by Elena's display of being a profligate young master and she ended up bidding way more than the actual price of these seeds. But that was fine as a doting grandfather like Hermes should not mind this type of extra spending. The next items which were brought on the stage were not something that excited the girls or Elena, so she did not bid on any of them.

In the meantime, another item was brought to the stage that Hermes might like. It was a fruit cutting scissors with gorgeous decoration on it. This time Dalia did not allow Monika to bid on it and she did the bidding herself. With her perfect timing of bidding and a little bit of clever maneuvering, she was able to get the scissor for a very good price.

Obviously Monika was not very about not getting to play the role of a spendthrift just like Elena and she started to pout and she only calmed down when Elena gave her a hug. Seeing Monika being so happy with a hug Dalia mocked her by saying that Monika was still just a little kid.

...

For the next few items again Elena did not show any interest but then another item was brought which made Dalia's eyes lit up. As a genius alchemist, she had been doing some research on the alchemical material which could be found in this world and she was able to come up with a new recipe. But one of the materials needed to create that recipe was very rare so she was still not sure if her theory was correct or not.

But probably because today Dalia's luck was very good, that same material that she needed was brought to the stage. It was the roots of a tree called Parasoya and this root had a weird property that could make various unstable elements of a chemical to become stable. The new potion that Dalia designed could give a boost to a person's stats, especially the strength and vitality ones.

All the other materials used for this drug had a very bad compatibility and they tended to explode when mixed together. So, Dalia needed to use the roots of the Parasoya tree to calm the mixture down in order to create her planned potion. But these roots were way too expensive for Dalia to afford them at the current moment.

But she really did not need to worry as the young mistress of the Draxtear clan, Elena Riz Draxtear was with her. As long as she was here her cute little sister did not need to worry about not having enough material for her alchemical experiments.

As soon the bidding process for the roots of the Parasoya tree started, a very lazy but arrogant voice sounded again. This was a voice that many people participating in this auction had gotten used to and the participants who were planning to buy this root for themselves blamed their bad luck and greeted their teeth in defeat. The starting price for this root was 20 yellow gems and the famous voice that made the first bidding said -

"500 Yellow Gems."

That was way over the real price of these roots. Even if many alchemists fought for this useful ingredient, they would at most pay 100 yellow gems. Anything higher was not worth it. But this spendthrift lady was throwing out 500 from the get go. Did she have a tree that gave birth to yellow gems or something.

But just making them jealous of her economical power was not enough and this lady even had the nerve to laugh in a mocking manner when the hosts declared her victory. Okay, it was her VIP Room so she could laugh there as much as she wanted, but why did she need to keep the microphone on and let the whole auction house hear her "Fufufu".

One lanky looking elf greeted his teeth in anger and decided to investigate this prodigal lady. She must be someone famous if she had so much money to waste. He really needed the roots of the Parasoya tree to complete the creation of a poison he was making and it would be even better if he could get his hands on the wealth this lady had. He would not mind making her his concubine for the money even if she was not very good looking. So with that plan in mind, he told the servant serving him in his VIP room and asked her to investigate that lady after he was done playing with her body.

...

Currently, both Dalia and Monika were hugging Elena for giving them such amazing gifts while Lucy was looking at Elena with stars in her eyes. Only Eldriana was not clinging to her for the time being. Elena obviously wanted to give Eldriana a gift too, but the type of things that she liked was very limited and nothing like that had unfortunately showed up so far in this auction.

After that three more farming related items were put up for sale and Dalia was able to get all of them at a fair price. Even Elena was impressed by her performance and praised her. Eldriana asked her how she was so good at this type of thing and a bashful Dalia replied that, as an alchemist she had dealings with many merchants and she had also participated in many auctions in search of rare materials. So with enough time, she somehow became very skilled at predicting what price an item would be sold for and also became proficient in bringing the price down.

Very soon it was time for the last three items to be displayed. According to the hosts, these items were all at least at the rank as the first item if not better, so the excitement of every participant was at an all time high. Most of the people present in the auction house did not have the economic capability to participate in the bidding for those last three items, but that did not decrease their excitement of witnessing very expensive items.

Elena also paid attention to the stage to see if there was something capable of catching her eye. She really wanted to find something for Eldriana or only not giving her a gift would leave a bad taste in her mouth. The first item was brought out and it was a legendary sword which could unleash the powers of both fire and ice. Many rich participants went mad to get their hands on this item and the final bid went as high as 1500 red gems.

The second item was a class skill book with a legendary level spell engraved inside it. This was a skill for the mage job class and by learning it a person's combat ability could increase by a good margin. But this skill had a tough prerequisite for learning which was not very easy to fulfill and so the demand for this skill book was not as high as the previous item. But still it got a high price of 950 red gems.

Then finally the last item was brought out. It was a necklace made of pearls and looked very beautiful but almost no one paid any attention to its appearance. That was because as soon as this necklace appeared on the stage, all the elves felt that the natural energy of the world had become more active and they also felt an instinctive urge to get this thing.

"This is a rare item that could increase a person's compatibility with the nature and they may be able to harness the powers of the world if they have the talent for that. It is an incredibly powerful item and the owner of this item is willing to only sell it for a purple gem. If you do not have a purple gem, he is not going to sell it to you no matter how many red gems you give him."

Purple gems were special and had many other uses other than just being a form of money and it was extremely rare to find. Even among the rich people present in this auction house, it was very rare. But luckily for a man, he had somehow managed to get his hands on a purple gem and he tried to use that to exchange for the necklace. But unfortunately for him Elena had taken a liking to this item as it was exactly what Eldriana needed for the current situation.

"Three Purple Gems."

That was the price Elena gave and no one was able to bid anything higher than that. So Elena was the winner of the final item of this auction, making many people to take an interest in her.
