“Hold it and sit down with your legs crossed,” Jungkook said.
Lisa followed Jungkook’s instructions and sat down. Jungkook used his own strength to utilize the integrative power in the Pearl Milkstone.
Lisa felt a warm current flow from the Pearl Milkstone into her palms before spreading to every cell in her body.
It was as if she was sitting in a hot spring. Her entire body felt warm and comfortable.
A moment later, the warmth gradually disappeared, and the Pearl Milkstone in her arms became just an ornamental gem.
“How do you feel?” Jungkook asked.
“Comfortable.” Lisa did not feel any changes in her body but she enjoyed the process thoroughly.
She had consumed all of Pearl Milkstone’s integrative power, but it still looked the same as before. In any case, the auction-goers would not know its real use even if they bought it. Instead of letting other people waste such a good item, there was nothing wrong with her using it.
Lisa felt an indescribable sense of comfort. She picked out a box of gems and asked Vermilion Bird to summon someone from Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. She ordered that person to purchase the box of gems she had chosen on the day of the auction.
Lisa, who felt that she had profited immensely, left the storeroom in high spirits. There were still five days before the auction, and she still had to make arrangements for the situation in the Forsaken Land.
If it were any other time, Lisa would have been too lazy to care about it. However, the people who were going to Sun Never Sets were coming to advertise for her free of charge. She had to guarantee that no accidents would happen during their journey to the Forsaken Land.
Since they were in the eastern region of the Forsaken Land, everyone who were planning to participate in the auction would enter from the Longxuan Empire’s border. The route from the border to Sun Never Sets was a straight line. To ensure that the auction would continue as per normal, Lisa gathered all the advanced-ranked demons in Sun Never Sets and told them to take care of the other demons on both sides of the road.
As the dark elements in Sun Never Sets gradually increased, countless demons had begun to move into the city. However, there were still some demons who had their own territory and were unwilling to move. Lisa did not mind it, but if they dared to eat humans on the streets, then she would not be polite to them.
Lisa assigned 300 advanced-ranked demons to negotiate with the other demons along the way.
Those demons with territories were led by advanced-ranked demons. As long as they could negotiate with those demons, they would not have to worry about any accidents.
However, it was the first time that Jia He and the rest had done something so civil. In the past, the demons relied on their own strength to conquer and rule. If other demons wanted to seize their territory and cause trouble, they would gather their men to attack them and make them piss their pants.
However, Lisa had asked them to negotiate with them, and the demons were not used to that.
However, no matter how unaccustomed they were to it, they still had to follow their lord’s orders.
As a result, the advanced-ranked demons in the city began to move out. They brought a few intermediate-ranked demons with them to negotiate with their neighbors.
As for the negotiation process …
Lisa did not care how they did it—she just wanted results.
It did not matter if it was through a civil discussion or a bloody duel, as long as it was settled, it was fine to her.
Two days before the auction, the advanced-ranked demons finally dealt with their fellow demon neighbours as they waited for the auction to start.
As the start of the auction got closer, a large number of people had already entered the Forsaken Land. Some of them were from the various aristocratic families in the continent, and most of them were wealthy, very wealthy. There were also some hidden experts who had snuck into the Forsaken Land. However, to all of them, entering the Forsaken Land was a huge challenge.
No one knew what kind of dangers awaited them in a place where demons ran rampant. Aristocratic families gathered a group of powerful elites to go with them. Wealthy tycoons spent a fortune to hire a large number of mercenaries to escort them. As for those who were already powerful and were contracted to magical beasts, they dared to go alone.
With such a large flow of people, the generals at the border of the Longxuan Empire were so busy that they had to check permits day and night.
During the inspection, the people who were prepared to go to the auction house formed a temporary alliance.
The Forsaken Land was already dangerous enough, and no one could guarantee that they could safely travel across the Forsaken Land. So, instead of fighting on their own, it was better for them to gather their force together to guard against the possible hordes of demons.
Therefore, at the border of the Forsaken Land, all sorts of alliances were created constanty. If they met someone they knew, with just a few casual words, they would naturally form an alliance. If they did not know that person, then they would have to rely on their shameless mouth and thick skin.
The originally independent forces banded together to enter the Forsaken Land.
Of course, their collaboration was limited to the journey to Sun Never Sets. Once they arrived at their destination, their relationship would immediately turn hostile.
They did not take such a huge risk to enter Sun Never Sets to benefit others. They had their own motives too.
People with different intentions had no choice but to group together for the time being. With uneasiness in their heart, they entered the savage Forsaken Land.
The first day …
The road was a little rundown, but they did not encounter any dangers. It seemed like the border of the Forsaken Land was not as scary as it might seem.
The next day …
Was it really the Forsaken Land? Where were the demons? They did not even see a shadow of a ghost.
On the third day …
“Brother Li, do you want to drink in my carriage?”
“Oh, Brother Wang. Coincidentally, I have some dishes that pair excellently with wine here. I’ll be right there.”
“Family Head Liu, are you interested in playing a game of chess with me?”
“Very well, very well …”
Those who had constantly heard of the horror stories coming from the Forsaken Land suddenly felt that the Forsaken Land was not as terrifying as the rumors claimed it to be. They had not seen a single demon in three days, and only ruins filled their sight. They began to wonder if the rumors about the Forsaken Land were greatly exaggerated.
After they relaxed their vigilance and nervousness, the group of young masters had nothing better to do, so they began to play around in their respective carriages.
They would drink and play chess in their carriage in the morning.
Reciting poems with arms around each other’s shoulders at night.
It did not matter which country they were from. Everyone had nothing better to do than to drink and enjoy themselves.
Even the guards who had always been on high alert were gladdened by the overly comfortable journey. They were no longer as vigilant as they were before. Instead, they would steal a few drinks and brag to their brothers.
They had a strange feeling that they were not there to bid for treasures. Instead, they were there to sightsee.
Those who were there knew their stuff did not pay much attention to the items in those small shops. However, as they looked at the displayed products, they realized that something was amiss.
Palm-sized diamonds were placed at the entrance like ordinary stones. Magic Stones that were as tall as a person were carved into beautiful ornaments. Glorious Snow Stones were polished into round beads that hung on curtains. When the group of merchants with keen eyesight noticed how the city treated these valuable gems as decorations, their hearts bled.
Any random gem there could fetch thousands of gold coins, and yet they were random spread all over the place.
When they noticed that various-colored gems were used as stools by the people from Sun Never Sets, their hearts almost broke.
If it were not for the guards who were leading the way, they would have pounced on the shop owners and asked them not to waste those precious stones. If they wanted to waste them, let him have it instead. After all, those gems were all gold coins!
The merchants, who knew their stuff, discreetly wiped their tears and the mouths of the powerful families twitched.
They saw a potion shop by the side of the street, and it was filled with all sorts of merchandise from low-level potions to high-level potions. They had also discovered some rare potions that could not be found on the market. Any random bottle of those potions could allow their family’s juniors to advance by a notch, and yet it was sold so openly. They wanted to rush over and buy all the potions in the shop.
Along the way, everyone had reached a consensus.
Treasures were everywhere in Sun Never Sets. And once the guards left, they would get their subordinates to purchase those products as soon as possible. After all, those products were super rare.
They did not encounter any dangers on their way to the Forsaken Land and they had already discovered that there were so many treasures the moment they entered the city. The group of guests could no longer remain calm. They could not wait for the guards to lead them to their destination and then leave so that they could go shopping like crazy.
If they missed it, they would not get another chance!
Finally, the guards led them to a few inns. The accommodations for the guards and mercenaries could not possibly be too high-end, so ordinary inns were more or less sufficient. Even without the large number of subsidiaries, there were only about a hundred of them. After all, they were only one of the groups of guests that was entering the city, and there was still a large group of guests that had yet to arrive.
“This is the accommodation the city lord has arranged for everyone to stay. You may choose your rooms at your leisure. I shall take my leave.” The guard was smart enough to leave.
The group of big shots stood in front of the luxurious inn and looked up at the sky.
Extravagant! How extravagant!
The entire inn was magnificently built. Even the floor was made of high-quality gold. Those who with keen eyes estimated that the cost of the building was no less than a million gold coins.
Even the wealthy tycoons could only concede defeat when faced with such a luxurious inn.
What did it mean to be rich? This building was what it meant to be rich!
How could the people of Sun Never Sets be so extravagant with their use of money when it was given to them by the royal family?
What they did not know was that the Forsaken Land lacked everything except for the mineral products. Lisa had casually tossed those materials to the architect for their own use. Other than the labor costs, the materials themselves did not cost a single cent.
“Everyone, we have 365 guest rooms here. The interior of each room is different, and the prices of each room are also different. If you have any requests, I can arrange them for you.” Uncle Nine, who was wearing gorgeous clothes, stood in front of everyone with a smile.
Lisa had arranged for Uncle Nine to supervise the inn. On the surface, he was the boss of all the inns in Sun Never Sets, but in reality, he was just an innkeeper.
“What’s the difference between the rooms?” The group of guests was confused. They had only heard about the differences between the upper class and lower class room. This was the first time they had heard about the room being differentiated because of their interior design.
Uncle Nine followed Lisa’s instructions and said, “There are all sorts of differences. We have a battle aura room built with Aura Stones, a magical room built with Magical Stones, and a luxurious room covered with gems. The effects of each room are different, and many of them can bring unexpected effects to the customers.”
Lisa was a prodigy from the modern era. She had used her knowledge from her previous world to open an inn.
She had copied the style of the luxury hotels in modern society to Sun Never Sets. She had differentiated the rooms based on the different styles available and their effects.
Of course, she did not think that the Sun Never Sets was a place for young lovers to stay. Instead, it was more likely for wealthy merchants and experts to come there. Therefore, she used stones for battle aura and magical training in the rooms.
One must know that the price of a single one of these stones was enough to make many wealthy families shrink back in fear. However, it was super beneficial to them. Even though it would not increase one’s strength immensely, it would be beneficial if one could continue to train with the corresponding stone.
However, no one would be so extravagant to use those stones to build a room. Most of them would be carved into a pendant or something, but the effect of doing that would be much inferior.
When Uncle Nine told them that there were such heaven-defying rooms in the inn, the group of martial arts fanatics immediately drooled.
Were there really such great rooms?
How was Lisa so rich?
Even if they wanted a stone the size of a palm, they would feel a pinch in their wallets. But that bastard had daringly used those stones to build a room! That was too extravagant!
Uncle Nine smiled as he looked at the drooling expressions on everyone’s faces. He secretly gave Lisa a thumbs up for her strange arrangement.
They knew the value of those stones in the outside world, but they were nothing in the Forsaken Land. Even though they were not as common as obsidian, it was not a problem to build rooms with them.
“Well, give me five Battle Aura Rooms!” A middle-aged man from a certain family in the Blue Moon Dynasty gulped and quickly raised his hand to book five.
“Give me six Magical Rooms!”
“Me too! Two rooms each!”
“Me too! Me too!”
The group of big shots who wanted to strengthen their family members could not withstand the temptation. All of them tried their best to get a good room, but the merchants were not as enthusiastic.
“There are also differences between the Battle Aura Room and the Magic Room. The rooms are divided into three categories: upper, middle, and lower. The number of those stones used in the rooms of different categories differs. Everything in the upper rooms is built with the stones, including the beds.” Uncle Nine chuckled as he continued to entice the crowd.
“The beds are all made from the stones?” Those from the aristocratic families could no longer remain calm. If they could sleep on a bed made from the stones, wouldn’t that mean that they could train while they sleep?
They had to snatch it! They had to snatch it all!
It was as if the group of them had been injected with chicken blood as they started to scramble for the rooms.
Unfortunately, they were so excited that they forgot to ask for the price. When they got the room and looked at the quoted price, they almost vomited blood.
The prices of the Battle Aura Room and the Magic Room were astronomical. The upper-grade rooms cost more than a thousand gold coins a day.
On one hand, it was an excellent training environment. On the other hand, it was frighteningly expensive for a room. The aristocratic families were upset, but they knew that such opportunities were rare. If they missed this opportunity, it would be gone. Therefore, they gritted their teeth and paid for it.
When they paid, their hearts bled. But when they entered the room, their blood boiled as they screamed out that the money had not been wasted!
If it were not for the fact that they were afraid that their Family Head would whip them for spending so much, they would want to stay there for the rest of their lives so that they could increase their cultivation speed.
The merchants did not have a high requirement for their rooms, but Uncle Nine did not forget to recommend some of the grander shops to them. They had seen how extravagant the shops along the road were, and they wanted to know how many treasures there were in the city that they could invest in. Therefore, they listened to the recommendation carefully.
That one group of guests had already paid more than a hundred thousand gold coins for their rooms, and that was only for a day. Furthermore, most of the rooms in the inn were still empty.
Uncle Nine did not even need to think to know that he could earn at least four to five hundred thousand gold coins a day if the inn was fully booked.
What an ingenious plan! City Lord was a genius!
She did not even blink when she drained all of their money!
While the aristocratic families cultivated in their rooms, they ordered their subordinates to go to the shops in the city to shop for potions. The wealthy merchants also gathered all their servants and rushed toward the shops on the streets and alleys of Sun Never Sets to engage in a bloodbath.
In just half a day, that group of guests had spent about a million gold coins.
The auction in Sun Never Sets had yet to officially begin, but people had already been enraptured by the attraction in the city.
Lisa was grinning from ear to ear as she took the gold coins from her subordinates.
She loved gold coins!
The five beasts sat by her side and sighed when they saw her crafty smile.
Sun Never Sets’ business model was basically all handled by Lisa, with Eunwoo smoothing out the rough edges. As a result, the guests were in a situation where they could not even pay with their lives.
Eunwoo had a good head for management. He knew that Sun Never Sets would have no economic problems in the future. A revenue of one million gold coins a day would be the lowest they would earn.
In the future, Lisa could sit in her mansion and count the gold coins for fun.
The Forsaken Land had abundant resources; the other cities understood that principle very well. However, it was different for Sun Never Sets.
The other cities were directly under the leadership of the various countries. Even though the city lord had a certain degree of autonomy, they had accepted the state’s support when they built their city. For the sake of their families’ interests and the country’s interests, they had no choice but to shift the majority of their resources to their families and the respective country’s upper echelons. Therefore, there was a huge restriction on the distribution of resources.
Only a weirdo like Lisa, who had a falling out with the Emperor, could distribute resources without any reservations. As for the family?
The Vermilion Bird Family had already relocated to Sun Never Sets, so there was nothing for her to worry about. Besides, Shen Feng had no objection to Lisa’s decision. Sun Never Sets belonged to Lisa and the Vermilion Bird Family belonged to Lisa. There was absolutely no conflict between the two entities.
Therefore, the accumulation of wealth was built in a harmonious environment. Since Lisa did not have any external interferences, the amount of profit she would receive was naturally shocking.
“Lili, you have a brilliant mind for business.” Eunwoo pinched his chin with his fingers. Lisa was not at all inferior to him when it came to the aspect of earning money.
Eunwoo understood the essence of business, but Lisa had many strange, money-making ideas that were both novel and innovative.
“You can call me a genius.” Lisa was in a good mood. She had built Sun Never Sets for three reasons, namely: to breed demons to undo her seal, to strengthen herself, and lastly, to make money!
A clever housewife could not cook without rice; an empire could not be built with two cents.
Powerful strength could only be built on with a strong economic foundation.
“Genius? I think you’re a weirdo.” Taehyung shot a glance at Lisa. But he had to hand it to her. Two days before the city was opened, she had dragged a group of shrewd businessmen to open a few shops. The potions stocked in those shops were made by her on the spot, and as for the gems, she casually stuffed those useless gems that were piling up in the warehouse into them.
“I thought you were praising me.” Lisa snorted. However, she was in a good mood today, so she would not argue with that idiot.
“I’ve already sent someone to keep an eye on this group of guests. For now, I don’t see anything wrong with them.” Returning to the topic, Yoongi took out his subordinate’s report and analyzed it.
Even though Sun Never Sets was open to the public, not everyone coming in had good intentions.
There was this saying: a tall tree attracts the wind. And since it was the first time that the Longxuan Empire had secured a territory in the Forsaken Land, there would naturally be many scouts from various countries and organizations coming to scout the situation at the auction and the city. Even though they were not stirring trouble in Sun Never Sets, they would still have to report the happenings in Sun Never Sets to their superiors.
Yoongi was responsible for observing the guests. Even if they were unsure of the intentions those guests had, they at least had to know what they were doing at all times so that they would not be caught off guard when they suddenly showed their true colors.
“Just keep an eye on them. I’m sure they do not dare to cause trouble yet. At the very least, anyone who dares to cause trouble in Sun Never Sets during the auction will be courting death.” Lisa sneered. The Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was the main attraction of the auction; it attracted masses of experts and representatives of aristocratic families to travel to the Forsaken Land. Many of them were there for the weapon, and if anyone dared to cause trouble, those aristocratic families and experts would personally strangle the troublemakers to death.
“Yes,” Yoongi answered.
Their main objective was to carry out the auction perfectly.
Over the next two days, more and more guests from afar entered the city. Like the first batch of guests, they visited the entire city in shock and continued to help Lisa with her money-making business.
There was also some bits of chaos.
When such large groups of people entered Sun Never Sets, there would naturally be some occasional conflicts between them, not to mention arguing with the locals.
There were many instances where the two parties were both from aristocratic families. Obviously, they had all lived like princes and princesses for their entire lives. So, when one of them had a problem with the other, they would get close to each other’s faces and argue mindlessly for the sake of their reputation and honor of their family. Fortunately, they had restrained themselves and did not fight.
Usually, the reason behind those mindless arguments was items. When two such parties found one item that they liked and one side would not concede no matter what, it would always escalate to fighting with words.
Even though Lisa had managed to open a few shops with the limited amount of time she had, there were a lot of such scenes where many people would be fighting over a bottle of potion and a good piece of ore.
On the other hand, it proved that Lisa had made the right decision and that her method of earning money was wise.
Finally, amid the excitement, the Phantom Auction House’s auction officially began.
There were more than 1700 participants in the auction, all coming from 300 different forces.
Due to the large number of participants, Lisa stipulated that only two people from every force could enter the auction house to participate in the auction. Ultimately, the number of participants allowed to enter was limited to about 500 people.
However, even though there were only about 500 people, the Phantom Auction House was packed to the brim.
After Yoongi’s investigation, at least 30 of those 500 people were spies.
However, it did not matter. Freud had already led three hundred advanced-ranked demons to stand guard outside the Phantom Auction House. Anyone who dared to cause trouble at the auction would be eaten alive in minutes.
The auction-attendees were completely unaware that they had been surrounded by a large group of savage demons.
Everyone took their seats and waited for the auction to begin.
Before they came to Sun Never Sets, they had already read through the catalogue for the auction, so they already knew about the items that would be auctioned.
The auctioneer of the auction was a disguised Eunwoo. He stood on the stage as he looked at the restless crowd with a smile.
Lisa was sure that with the sly fox, Eunwoo, as the ringleader, their wallets would soon be drained of money.
The kid’s eloquence was not inferior to hers. Moreover, he knew the value of those items better than her.
The auction items were carried to the stage in an orderly fashion. The first few items to be auctioned off were precious gems and luxury items.
Even though those items were hard to come by, they did not hold any significant value to the attendees. So, most of the buyers of those gems were wealthy merchants, the aristocratic families and experts did not even look at them.
Their objective was clear. They wanted potions that could help improve their battle aura or magic, potions that could improve one’s physique, and weapons that could turn the tides of a fight.
The two chests of jewels were more or less sold out, and the only thing left was the Pearl Milkstone that Lisa had used.
Pearl Milkstone was a rare gem, let alone such a huge one. Even the aristocratic families could not sit still at the sight of it.
They did not lack jewels, but a Pearl Milkstone that size could bring glory to their family. They would consider it a flamboyant piece of decoration if they bought it.
“Legend has it that merfolks who live in the deep sea only shed tears twice in their lives. After they are born and before they die, their tears will condense into Pearl Milkstones. I believe everyone has heard about it. However, I believe no one has ever seen such a huge Pearl Milkstone before, so I will not say anything else. Those who know their stuff would know that one this size would never be found on the market ever again. The starting bid is 100,000 gold coins,” Eunwoo lazily said. The starting price for Pearl Milkstones was not high, but he was sure that the final bid would not be lower than a million gold coins.
“I’ll pay 200,000!” A certain wealthy merchant who had just bought a pile of jewels raised his hand.
“300,000.” Another merchant snorted as he shot a glance at the wealthy merchant.
There were jewels everywhere, but who would let go of something that was truly rare?
The bid for the Pearl Milkstone continued to rise, and it soon exceeded a million gold coins. Even some aristocratic families were fighting to purchase it.
There was probably only one such Pearl Milkstone in the world. Anyone would want to grab it and use it as a symbol to show off their wealth.
“1,700,000 gold coins!” One of the Blue Moon Dynasty’s royalty suddenly offered an astonishing bid.
1,700,000 gold coins was a sky-high price for a gem!
“1,700,000 …” Every single person attending the auction gulped. All of them were wealthy, but no one would spend that much money to buy basically an ornament.
The royal family of the Blue Moon Dynasty had always regarded themselves as high-class aristocrats, so they would always pay extra attention to their reputation. However, paying such a price was a little outrageous.
The royalty, who had just offered a shocking bid, looked at everyone with a smug gaze. His family was wealthy, so they could bid as much as they liked. Sometimes, the price they paid was not for the items, but for their reputation!
The auction-attendees, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, were immediately intimidated by his wealth.
Lisa hid behind the scenes as she looked at the Pearl Milkstone that had been sold for an astronomical price. She had a crafty smile on her face. If the integrative power of the Pearl Milkstone was still inside, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was worth 7,100,000 gold coins, let alone 1,700,000 gold coins. But she had already consumed all the integrative power in the Pearl Milkstone. Furthermore, that wealthy man did not look like he was buying it for a specific purpose. It seemed like the bid he offered was merely to buy an accessory.
Lisa was currently feeling very proud of herself. How could she not be proud when she had managed to sell something that she had already used?
Buying the case but returning the pearls, there were actually people still doing it.
Just as everyone thought that the Pearl Milkstone would be sold for 1.7 million gold coins, a slender figure suddenly stood up from the crowd.
“2 million.” The handsome young man smiled as he one-upped the bid that no one had expected to lose.
“2 million gold coins! Has he gone crazy?” The auction-attendees finally saw the true meaning of being wealthy. For a single gem, he was willing to spend 2 million gold coins. At that point, should he even be referred to as a wealthy person anymore? He should be referred to as the God of Wealth!
The royalty from the Blue Moon Dynasty was also stunned. He thought that his bid would easily win the gem, but he did not expect someone to be even more careless with money than him.
At that moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on the young man who just made the last bid. He wore a long green robe and there was a modest smile on his handsome face. No matter how one looked at him, one would assume that he was just a young master of a household with a considerable background. However, how could someone like him spend so much money for something that was essentially useless?
The royalty from the Blue Moon Dynasty was unhappy. Everyone should be looking at him with envy, not at that gigolo. How dare that gigolo steal his limelight?
As someone with immense amount of pride, he could never tolerate that!
“2.1 million!” The royalty immediately increased the bid.
The young master smiled and said, “2.2 million gold coins.”
“2.3 million!”
“2.4 million.”
“2.5!”
“…”
As the two immensely wealthy men started a bidding war, everyone wondered if they were spectating a battle of how high one could count between two idiots. By how the bid for the Pearl Milkstone was going, it would soon exceed the total price of all the previous gems auctioned before it.
Just so they could hold on to their flimsy pride, they dared to carelessly waste their money.
The bid of the Pearl Milkstone continued to rise to an astronomical amount due to the competition between the two unrelenting men. As the bidding war continued, Eunwoo smiled like a crafty fox on stage. As for Lisa, she really wanted to go outside and cheer the two men into giving her more money.
She dearly wished that they could raise the bid of the Pearl Milkstone even further. Although she would not receive the full amount of the bid since it was not hers, the Phantom Auction House would still take a percentage of the final bid. Just the thought of getting so much money by doing essentially nothing, she was on cloud-nine.
The higher the final bid, the more money she would get.
Therefore…
Let the storm blow harder. She could endure it!
The two nouveau riche continued bickering back and forth. Finally, they managed to raise the bid of the Pearl Milkstone to more than 3 million gold coins. At that moment, the people in the auction house had already calmed down. The repeated shocks had numbed them.
They looked at the two people who continued to use their money to slap the other in the face calmly. If it was not for the Pearl Milkstone on stage, they would not have forgotten what they were fighting for.
The royalty from the Blue Moon Dynasty panted as he waited for the handsome young man to increase the bid. He was about to die from anger. Someone had managed to force him to raise the bid of a single gem to more than 3 million gold coins. Even if he had the brain of a pig, he knew that he would suffer a huge loss if he were to purchase the gem at that price. However, if he were to let go of it now, wouldn’t that mean that he would have to admit defeat in front of everyone? Plus, almost everyone attending the auction was an influential figure from every part of the continent.
He was a noble, and yet he could not win against an unknown young man!
At that moment, he was no longer fighting for the Pearl Milkstone, but for his reputation.
3 million gold coins was not a small sum for anyone, even for him. And it looked like the bidding war would not stop anytime soon.
As the bid continued to rise, he soon felt that it was a little strenuous for him to continue. He was not attending the auction for the Pearl Milkstone. He had only wanted to put on a pompous act on a whim. He truly did not expect that he would encounter someone even more pompous than him.
If he were to continue with the bid, he would not be able to bid for any of the other items that he actually really wanted, even if he managed to purchase the Pearl Milkstone.
The situation on the side of the royalty from the Blue Moon Dynasty was not good, and neither was it for the young master.
The Pearl Milkstone was only a useless gem in the eyes of the world. He already had a plan before he came here. In his mind, the bid of 1 million gold coins would easily be enough to win the bid. However, he did not expect that a fool would appear and forcefully increase the bid for seemingly no reason.
The handsome young man was, in fact, the black-robed man who stood by Ouyang Huanyu’s side. His main objective for attending the auction was the Pearl Milkstone, and he had brought about five million gold coins with him, just in case he saw something else he wanted to buy. His original intention was to just spend a little bit more than 1 million gold coins on it. However, looking at how the current situation was going, he would soon be unable to continue bidding.
If the bid exceeded 5 million gold coins, he would not be able to fork out anymore gold coins. If that was the case…
A sinister glint flashed across the young man’s eyes.
Truthfully, he really hoped that the idiot would bid more than 5 million gold coins so that he could kill him with a legitimate reason and get the Pearl Milkstone without spending a single cent.
If Ouyang Huanyu and Jun Mo had not asked him to keep a low-profile, he would have stopped after that idiot outbid him the second time.
He never liked fighting in such a non-aggressive way anyways.
The young man mumbled to himself. When he saw that the bid for the Pearl Milkstone had exceeded 4 million gold coins and that it was about to increase to 5 million gold coins, the killing intent in his eyes thickened.
The entire auction house fell into silence when the young man offered a bid of 5 million gold coins.
Such a large increase frightened the crowd. All of them looked at the Blue Moon royal to see if he would continue to increase the bid.
As long as he raised the price, the young man would sentence him to death.
The nobleman’s face was flushed. He panted as he glared at the young man. Even though he knew that the bid was outrageously high, he could not admit defeat for the sake of his reputation. At that moment, everyone’s gaze was focused on him. Should he continue to increase the bid or should he give up?
The royal gritted his teeth. Just as he was about to increase the bid, the young man’s eyes revealed his killing intent.
“Young master, that useless gem is not our objective. Stop it.” However, a retainer who had stood by the royal’s side spoke up at the right time, stopping the royal’s subsequent actions.
He could not bear to see his young master continue with his nonsense, so he finally persuaded him otherwise.
The royal had always been finding a reason to stop. So now that a reason to give up had come up, he calmed down. He gritted his teeth and sent a deathly glare at the young man. Although he was unwilling to admit defeat, he could only return to his seat and remain silent.
On the stage, Eunwoo had already estimated that a bid of 5 million gold coins was the uppermost limit for a Pearl Milkstone of this size. But he pretended to ask three more times before he finalized the deal.
The young man, who obtained the Pearl Milkstone, felt as if he wanted to vomit blood.
It was as if that royal bastard was born to oppose him. He had pushed him to his limit and then stopped. If that idiot dared to add another gold coin, he would have an excuse to kill him.
Even though he now had the Pearl Milkstone, the price…
The young man wanted to die. He could have spent 1 million gold coins to get the gem, but he was forced to spit out 5 million gold coins!
No one would feel comfortable in that situation.
However, he could not do anything to that royal bastard in front of everyone. He could only shallow the frustration in his heart and follow the auction assistant backstage with a darkened expression.
5 million…
What a fraud!
When someone suffered a tragedy, others would rejoice.
Lisa almost laughed out loud when he saw the final bid. That Pearl Milkstone could be sold for 5 million gold coins? She never expected it to sell for that high of a price. She wondered what the young man and that royal were thinking.
Lisa was truly a scoundrel. If they knew the real use of the Pearl Milkstone and realized that she had eaten all the benefits, would they vomit blood and die of frustration?
However, on second thought, there were only a few people who knew about the interesting secret of Pearl Milkstones. Even her grandfather, Shen Feng, did not know about it. Only Jungkook would know about such a hidden secret.
With that thought in mind, Lisa became much calmer.
The gem portion of the auction had come to an end. The break after the shocking bid of 5 million gold coins allowed everyone to slowly recover from their shock as they waited for the next portion of the auction to start.
After the young man paid for the Pearl Milkstone, he left the auction house with a darkened expression.
No matter how cutthroat the previous portion of the auction was, the next portion of the auction was filled with what most of them had come for.
Next up to be auctioned were precious magic books, long-lost daggers, and crystals from the Moon God Continent …
Only then did the real auction begin.
It was the start of the intense bidding war between the aristocratic families.
Batch after batch of items continued to be auctioned off at a high pace. Even eighth-grade and above magical cores were auctioned off. Not to mention the aristocratic families, even some experts could not help but take action.
For a moment, the entire venue was flooded with shouts of bids.
It was so lively.
Lisa crouched backstage as she counted the gold coins. Other than Eunwoo, the other four beasts were gathered around her.
It was only after those items were brought onto the stage that Eunwoo’s fighting prowess was revealed.
Turning tens of thousands of gold coins into hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins into millions of gold coins were not an issue at all for him.
Lisa could only concede defeat and worship that swindling mouth of his.
However, nothing could surpass the profit the Pearl Milkstone had brought into her pockets.
She definitely did not make just a small sum off that high of a price.
After most of the items were auctioned off, the next item was the advanced potions that Lisa had personally concocted.
Even normal potions were not always available in the market, let alone advanced potions. And since Great Herbalist potions were basically non-existent in the market, advanced potions were the next best option. However, most Advanced Herbalists were either recruited by aristocratic families or directly taken back to the palace by the rulers of various countries to be reared. There were very few who would stay on the market.
But now, there were three different kinds of advanced potions being auctioned off on the stage right in front of them.
The first kind was a potion that could refine its consumer’s battle aura into a purer form. For those who trained in battle aura, it was a life-changing potion. With where they were at now, it was difficult for them to increase their battle aura anymore. However, if they could refine their battle aura into a purer form, the effect it would bring was simply unimaginable.
It was just like how they saw gold. The higher the purity, the more valuable it was.
Many aristocratic families were there because of the Battle Aura Potions. Who would not want to prepare a potion that could improve the purity of battle aura for their younger generation? The younger they were, the better the effect would be if they drank it.
And since there were potions that could improve battle aura, there would naturally be one for magic as well.
Both potions were rare, and not anyone could just produce them, not even an Advanced Herbalist.
Lisa had learned how to create it because of Ye Qing. No one else had the privilege to have a Great Herbalist teacher to guide them.
The last potion was the most eye-catching.
The last potion was called a Body Tempering Potion. Regardless of whether one trained in battle aura or magic, the potion could improve one’s physique, improving one’s foundation for training.
This kind of potion was essential for a martial artist who wished to top the world.
However, that kind of potion was even rarer than a Battle Aura Potion. Most of the aristocratic families in the Brilliance Continent had only heard of them.
When they heard that the three rare potions would be auctioned at Sun Never Sets’ auction, many aristocratic families from the four countries came to the auction in high spirits for the sake of their families’ benefits and future.
At that moment, they were just waiting for the auction to begin. All of them were eager to get into action and prepare for a big fight.
How could someone as smart as Eunwoo not sense their eagerness?
He pretended to be calm as he looked at everyone and said with a smile, “The potion portion of the auction will start with a hundred bottles of Battle Aura Potion.”
A hundred bottles of Battle Aura Potion sounded like a lot, but there were hundreds of people in the auction house, and at least half of them trained in battle aura. Even if everyone had one bottle, it would not be enough. After all, it was not only the aristocratic families who wanted to improve the purity of their battle aura. No one would mind if their strength increased, right?
There were too many monks but too few meat, so all the families were prepared for a bloody fight.
“The starting bid for each potion is five thousand gold coins, and the minimum increment is one thousand gold coins,” Eunwoo said with a smile.
For an advanced potion, five thousand gold coins was not a high price. Eunwoo’s starting bid was low, but he was not worried that it would not fetch a high price.
As expected, someone stood up as soon as he said that.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties stood up.
“10,000 gold coins!” He raised the price from a thousand to ten thousand.
The value of an advanced potion was already very high. And coupled with the special properties of the Battle Aura Potion, its value was even higher.
“13,000!” It was evident that the 10,000 gold coins did not dampen their fighting spirit, as someone immediately increased the bid.
“15,000!”
“20,000!”
The price of the Battle Aura Potions soon skyrocketed through the roof. It was basically a new lease in life so no one was willing to give it up just because of the price. When would they ever have the opportunity to buy one again if they gave up now?
Furthermore, there were only a hundred bottles of Battle Aura Potion. One bottle would be gone once they sold it. Who knew where they would find even a single bottle of Battle Aura Potion in the future? Therefore, they decided to obtain these potions in front of them by hook or by crook!
However, for some of them, namely those from weaker aristocratic families, there was a need to be mindful of their own actions. Even though they were labeled as aristocratic families, they couldn’t even be compared to the soles of those more powerful families; it was to the extent where they would rarely label themselves as an aristocratic family in the presence of a truly powerful aristocratic family. They were more commonly labeled as ordinary families by those from powerful aristocratic families.
An ordinary aristocratic family would die without a complete corpse if they were to forcefully snatch something a powerful family really wanted.
Not to mention their family’s wealth was not comparable to the other party’s wealth, the other party’s family’s influence was enough to toy with them a hundred times over. Therefore, the competition for potions was basically divided into two battlefields. One was a bloodbath between the aristocratic families and the other was a competition between the ordinary families.
For the first ten potions, the powerful aristocratic families did not even offer a single bid. Although they were planning to split the majority of the potions amongst themselves, they still had to take care of those ordinary families. Therefore, the elders of the aristocratic families ordered them to not bid for the first ten bottles of the potion. It was to give the ordinary aristocratic families some face and to give them some soup while they ate the meat. This way, it also showed the magnanimity of the aristocratic families.
The ordinary aristocratic families were also aware that they only had a limited amount of potions they could bid for. When the real aristocratic families took action, the auction would be out of their hands then.
Even so, there were still more than a hundred people from ordinary aristocratic families attending. It would be difficult to split ten bottles of potions between them.
The bidding war was getting more and more intense. The first bottle of Battle Aura Potion had already reached a bid of 80,000 gold coins, and it was still rising.
Lisa was crouching backstage as she estimated that the first bottle would be sold for about 150,000 gold coins. Ordinary families did not have that much money in the first place, and they had already spent most of their money in the previous portion of the auction. Even though the potion was life-changing, its effect was still auxiliary in nature. If there was a potion that could directly promote a junior profession to an advanced one, then not to mention 150,000 gold coins, even 15 million gold coins wouldn’t be enough to purchase it.
As expected, the first bottle of Battle Aura Potion was sold for 163,000 gold coins, which was slightly more than Lisa had expected.
The other nine bottles of potions were soon divided amongst themselves. None of the final bids were lower than 150,000 gold coins, with the highest bid around 200,000 gold coins.
The first ten bottles of Battle Aura Potion had been swept clean and now, the spotlight shifted away from the ordinary families to the aristocratic families. It was time for the duel between super families.
There were about twenty people who could be considered as part of the upper echelons of aristocratic families. The twenty of them would have to compete for the remaining ninety bottles of Battle Aura Potion.
Surprisingly, the eleventh bottle of battle aura potion was only sold for 30,000 gold coins!
It was lower than what everyone had expected. All the aristocratic families seemed to have reached a mutual understanding that no one should raise the bid more than the preset limit.
The twelfth bottle was also sold for thirty thousand gold coins.
The thirteenth bottle …
Those aristocratic families obviously had a tacit understanding between each other. With this plan, everyone had a share of the pie.
After selling the next ten bottles of Battle Aura Potions, her total income was only 300,000 gold coins. Looking at her measly profits, Lisa could only scratch the wall in frustration.
Despicable! Too despicable!
The strengths of those aristocratic families were about equal. It was hard to find anyone who could suppress the other families with just individual strength, so they thought of this plan to satisfy everyone.
At the bare minimum, each of them could get four to five bottles. With this method, no family could have any significant advantages over the other. Most importantly, they would not have to fall out with each other by outbidding each other.
How could Lisa not guess their intentions?
It was a truly good idea to save money.
If it was any other item, Lisa would at most despise them for their devious plan. After all, she would only get a portion of the final bid.
However, she had personally concocted those potions so all the income those potion generated all belonged to her. Their harmonious and friendly distribution of potions was clearly harming her interests.
Unacceptable! Absolutely intolerable!
Lisa gritted her teeth when suddenly a brilliant idea surfaced in her mind.
Not wasting another second, she immediately drank a bottle of stealth potion. An advanced stealth potion could turn one invisible for ten seconds, even a Second-Class expert might not be able to detect her. She then disappeared from the four beasts’ vision under their astonished gazes.
On the stage, Eunwoo’s lips twitched. Those old foxes were sure crafty.
Just as he pondered about how he could ruin their plan, a familiar voice entered his ears.
A devious glint flashed past Eunwoo’s eyes before it immediately disappeared. The spectators did not notice anything unusual as they waited for the next potion to be auctioned.
At that moment, Lisa had already snuck back and appeared in front of the four beasts.
The four beasts looked horrified yet slightly excited. Even though they knew that there were many strange potions in the world, they had never truly saw how terrifying it could be.
On stage, Eunwoo looked at the group of sly old foxes with a smile.
“The next eighty bottles of Battle Aura Potion will be auctioned in four batches. Each batch will contain twenty bottles of said potion. The starting bid for each batch will be 100,000 gold coins.” Eunwoo said Lisa’s instructions word for word, with a smile on his face.
When he said that, the sly old foxes could no longer languidly sit on their seats.
Four batches? Twenty bottles per batch?
Did that mean that only four of them could get the potions?
The group of big shots were thoroughly depressed.
Who would have expected that the auction house to have thought of such a move? However, they had no way to complain as the other party had never mentioned that they would auction the potions by the bottle. If that really was the case, the auction would probably continue until nightfall.
Even so, the situation did not look good.
Currently, ten bottles of Battle Aura Potion were evenly split amongst ten of the twenty aristocratic families.
But now, only four of them had the chance to purchase Battle Aura Potions. What about the rest?
The families who had managed to get their hands on a single bottle of potion were also unhappy with the arrangement. With their exalted status, they would never settle for just a single bottle. They were already dissatisfied by the initial arrangement of getting 4 to 5 bottles each, but they could only accept it as they were all equally matched.
Anyway, it was impossible for them to return with only one bottle.
The originally harmonious aristocratic families were immediately thrown into chaos by the sudden change.
Their gazes were not as friendly as before.
On the other hand, the ordinary families were secretly relieved. Fortunately, the auction house was kind enough to not announce the sudden change right from the beginning. Otherwise, they would not even have been able to get the first ten bottles.
Some were happy while others were sad. The aristocratic families were initially harmonious and friendly, but Lisa’s dirty plan had pushed them to the battlefield. It was impossible for them to continue to live in harmony.
Except for the five beasts, no one else knew that the sudden change of the rules that drove everyone crazy was due to someone’s retaliation after she noticed that her wallets had been tampered with.
When they saw Lisa’s crafty smile, the four beasts at the backstage hurriedly gulped.
That girl was too savage!
A simple sentence from her easily shattered the alliance between the families, turning the originally allied families into eternal enemies!
Savage and cruel!
Lisa managed to sow discord between them. What’s more, the families would never know who caused the tragedy.
It was a spectacular scene when more than twenty aristocratic families fought for four batches of potions.
When the first batch of Battle Aura Potions was brought on stage, the battle between the aristocratic families had officially begun.
There were only four chances, and no one was willing to let any of them go so easily. Everyone was afraid that they would miss the opportunity.
Therefore, the first person to bid increased the bid to 500,000 gold coins!
“600,000!”
“700,000!”
What was an aristocratic family?
Every increment was 100,000 gold coins!
The bids made the hearts of normal aristocratic families tremble.
As expected, the battles between the big shots were not something small shrimps like them could participate in.
In less than a minute, the bid for the first batch of potions exceeded 1 million gold coins.
However, if the price was divided by the number of potions in the batch, the average price of a bottle was only 50,000 gold coins. It was still far from the price that Lisa wanted.
Of course 1 million gold coins was far from the bottom line of those aristocratic families.
More and more people started to bid, and the bid continued to soar.
2 million…
3 million gold coins…
4 million…
The price of each bottle of potion finally exceeded the highest final bid of the previous bottles. However, those aristocratic families would not relent.
20 bottles of Battle Aura Potion could very well nurture twenty advanced professionals for their families. A mere million gold coins was nothing compared to twenty advanced professionals.
The battle between the aristocratic families was so brutal that it would make one’s hair stand.
In the end, the first batch of Battle Aura Potion was purchased by a powerful family from the Blue Moon Dynasty for 7 million gold coins.
The people from the Blue Moon Dynasty were truly all wealthy!
The average price of 350,000 gold coins per bottle made Lisa roll around happily backstage. She almost pounced on the old man’s bald head for a bite to thank him for giving her such a big red packet.
She only needed three days to produce a hundred bottles of Battle Aura Potions. So, to produce twenty bottles of Battle Aura Potions, she only needed half a day.
Lisa wanted to laugh out loud when she realized that she could get 7 million gold coins with half a day’s work. Shen Feng had made the right decision. A Herbalist was indeed a profitable profession!
All of the other professions were trash!
Lisa happily hopped around backstage. She had only sold forty bottles of Battle Aura Potion, but the profit had already almost exceeded 10 million gold coins. It was too easy for her to earn money.
It was a joyous occasion backstage, but in the main hall of the auction house, it was a battlefield.
Once the second batch of Battle Aura Potions appeared, another fight ensued.
The final bid was also 7 million gold coins.
It seemed like 7 million gold coins was the bottom line of those aristocratic families. After all, it was only a supplementary item. Whether they could nurture their younger generation would depend on their luck and character. If they were to spend too much, they would not be able to bear the financial crisis that would follow soon after.
It was not easy for an aristocratic family to fork out tens of millions of gold coins. Even though they had a lot of assets, they also had a lot of family members to take care of. The benefits that were allocated to everyone in their family had to be deducted from the family’s funds.
The final bid for the third batch was higher, but not by much. It was only 7.5 million gold coins.
When the last batch of Battle Aura Potions appeared, the atmosphere in the entire auction house changed.
Everyone wanted to make a last-ditch effort. They had made concessions the previous few times because they wanted their strongest opponent to leave the stage as soon as possible. The last batch was the key to the competition.
Each increment went from 100,000 to 1 million gold coins.
Their shouts were frightening.
In the end, the final bid for the fourth batch of potions exceeded 8 million gold coins, and in the end, it reached 8.7 million gold coins.
Eunwoo made his decision and ended the auction for the Battle Aura Potions. The families who managed to get their hands on the potion beamed with smiles. As for those who failed …
They were good at drawing circles in corners and cursing the rich!
Lisa made a lot of money today. The world looked extra beautiful to her today.
A hundred bottles of Battle Aura Potions had earned her 30 million gold coins!
It was a wonderful feeling to make money.
However, before the families in the main hall could relax, Eunwoo already brought out the Magic Potions.
As usual, the first twenty bottles were auctioned off by the bottle while the last eighty bottles were auctioned off by batches.
Come on, my dear friends!
The auction hall that had just quieted down once again erupted in noise.
At this point, the aristocratic families would not let a single bottle go, so they attacked from the very beginning.
Ordinary aristocratic families could only look on helplessly as they lamented that their ancestors were not as capable as the other party’s ancestors.
The experts, who had wanted to grab a bottle of the potion, also sat quietly in their seats when they saw the aristocratic families fighting like wolves and tigers.
Even though experts had strength and reputation, their strength and wealth was built up from an individual’s effort. How could an individual be compared to a super aristocratic family that had settled down for hundreds of years?
Reputation, connections, and prestige had all become fleeting clouds.
It was only one word, ‘poor’!
The total bid of the Magic Potions was about the same as the Battle Aura Potions. Lisa managed to get another 30 million gold coins.
As for the Body Tempering Potion, it was the highlight of the show. Just by the sight of it, it was causing those aristocratic families to go crazy.
A hundred bottles of Body Tempering Potion, 50 million gold coins …
Within a few hours, Lisa had earned more than 100 million gold coins.
That feeling was…
Amazing!
With that amount of money, she would be able to arm everyone in Sun Never Sets from head to toe. She would be able to build a super city that everyone would worship!
Lisa was very skilled in making money, while the aristocratic families were very skilled in being exploited. However, the aristocratic families, who had been duped, were smiling from ear to ear.
The five beasts looked at those unfortunate families in silence. They were too embarrassed to tell them that the three potions that Lisa had concocted were usually drunk like water by them. According to the bidding price, each of them had drunk at least twenty to thirty million gold coins worth of advanced potions.
All of a sudden, the five of them felt that it was great to have an Advanced Herbalist as their friend!
I don’t have to pay for the potion?! Can I kiss you?
After conning the aristocratic families, the auction house’s main highlight of the day, the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon, was coming up next.
The few million gold coins that the aristocratic families had spent were not even comparable to the worth of the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. They would not be able to get their hands on it without at least 80 to 90 million gold coins.
Everyone knew how precious the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was. It was a peerless weapon that only appeared once in a century, and it had always fetched a price of hundreds of millions.
Soon, everyone rubbed their palms and got ready for a fight.
In any case, since they were already in Sun Never Sets, they had no intention to bring any money back!
The final round!
Come on!
The aristocratic families did not dare to spend too much money because they had to leave some funds for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. After all, the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was their ultimate goal in their journey to Sun Never Sets.
On the bright red stage, an exquisite staff that was half the height of an average human was placed horizontally on a rack. The entire staff was covered with a layer of faint light, with a fist-sized surmounting magical core at the top of the staff.
Every single one of the magical cores used in the making of the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was at least a tenth-grade magical core or higher. These magical cores were not something that an ordinary high-grade magical core could compare to, as all the cores that were used were from mythical beasts, so its value was self-evident.
Any of the tenth-grade magical cores on the staff was worth tens of millions of gold coins, let alone an entire staff that was filled with them.
Everyone was excited. Their elegance was completely thrown out the window, releasing their internal savagery. They rubbed their palms as they prepared for another bloodshed.
To raise the price of the previous items, Eunwoo still had to expend some effort to encourage the audience to bid, but for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon, he did not even need to say anything to make them willing to go bankrupt. There was no need for him to continue with his praises.
The starting bid for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was 10 million gold coins. From the starting bid, one could infer that the item’s final bid would shock everyone.
Even the experts who were hiding their pockets were eager to try their luck. They did not fight with the aristocratic families for the potions because they wanted to save all their money to purchase the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. They did not care if they needed to go bankrupt, they would even use their connections if need be, all for the sake of the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon.
Everyone in the main hall was bursting with excitement, but other than Yoongi who paid a little attention to happenings in the main hall, the other beasts were completely uninterested.
The Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was of little value to them, as only Eunwoo and Seokjin could use it. As a priest, Seokjin did not have much requirement for his staff as a magus did, so he was just slightly interested in the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon. As for Eunwoo, even though the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was powerful, as a money-grubber, he would not allow himself to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions on a single staff.
From that, it could be seen that this scrupulous merchant had some sense of propriety.
The auction for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon went into full swing. No matter how passionate the experts and the aristocratic families were in the main hall, none of them paid any attention to it.
Lisa immediately transferred most of her money into the interspatial ring that she had prepared beforehand. When she saw that the hundred-square-meter interspatial ring was filled with gold coins, she felt happy inside.
Of course most of the money would go to the clients who tasked her auction house to auction their items.
Even then, the total commission they earned from the auction was enough to elevate the city to new heights.
But, Lisa wasn’t someone who would be blinded by greed. She had already decided to share the total commission they earned with each of the five beasts. After all, the Phantom Auction House was not just hers, but it was also theirs. She was not that stingy.
The Hundred Year Spirit Weapon was eventually bought by a powerful family from the Seventh Kingdom for 130 million gold coins. It was not a small sum—even after considering what the Phantom Auction House had earned today.
The auction for the Hundred Year Spirit Weapon had now ended, which meant that the auction had come to a close.
Those who managed to bid for the items were satisfied, while those who returned empty-handed had long faces.
In any case, now they all know how mysterious the background of Sun Never Sets was. This was because after the auction ended, Eunwoo deliberately spread the news that the Advanced Herbalist who made the Battle Aura Potion, Magic Potion, and Body Tempering Potion was from Sun Never Sets.
With that giant bomb being dropped on their heads, naturally, those who wished to gain the favor of the Herbalist would try their best to not sever their relationship with Sun Never Sets.
