Chapter 109: The Auction - Massive Profit.

Today, the news of the Thousand Wealth Chamber auction had spread throughout the city.

Apart from that, the popularity of the Spirit Link had risen sharply throughout the city.

Every nook and cranny of Purple Stone City was talking of the Spirit Link artifact that could allow them to communicate with each other.

With the popularity of the Spirit Link, everyone knew of the new chamber, the Thousand Wealth Chamber, which had only appeared in the city in less than seven days.

Thus, everyone was looking forward to their first-ever auction that would be hosted in the biggest building in the central district.

An hour before the auction, a crowd had gathered before the auction building.

"Can you guess what the new chamber is going to auction?"

"How would I know?"

"Right. Everything was so secret that only the powerful clans were invited."

"It is not only the powerful clans. I heard anyone that could afford the Standard Grade Spirit Link received the invitation."

"That’s insane. One thousand middle-grade spirit stones. Apart from the influential clans, who could afford that?"

"You’re wrong. I heard some people banded together to buy one."

"Really?! Why would they do that?"

"Are you stupid or what? With such an artifact that could allow one hundred people to communicate both inside the city, why wouldn’t they do that?"

"Agreed. With such an artifact, they could easily communicate with others at any moment."

"Besides, it’s not like they could hear each other’s conversation. So there is no problem for them to band together and buy one."

Just as the crowd was busy discussing the auction, the invited clans arrived one after the other.

"Oh, look. The Golden Goose Merchant."

"Look, that’s the Mad Lion Mercenary leader."

Every time some of the influential leaders or clan masters arrived, the crowd would talk about them for a moment before they moved to the next person.

"What! The City Lord also came?"

A luxurious carriage stopped in front of the auction venue and the City Lord came out. He smiled at the crowd and entered the venue.

Looking at the amicable City Lord, they started another round of gossip.

For most of them, this was the first time they’d seen the City Lord. Many did not even know their city still had a City Lord.

To them, the powerful clans were the real rulers of the city.

After the City Lord, the Long clan arrived, and another wave of discussion erupted from the crowd.

Followed by the Qing clan’s arrival.

When it was time for the auction, the door was closed and the crowd outside was burning with curiosity.

Inside the auction venue, all the powerful leaders sat calmly as they waited for the start of the auction.

Creak!

From the side, the door was opened and a woman walked to the podium.

Almost everyone in the auction knew the woman. She was the one who always sat behind the small counter.

"Hello, everyone. I’ll be your auctioneer for today," she began slowly.

"This is an exclusive auction and we’re only auctioning six items."

When the audience heard this, they creased their brows in confusion but no one spoke.

Just then, a female attendant pushed a cart into the auction room covered in black cloth.

"I believe all of you have already tested our Standard Grade Spirit Link."

The crowd nodded.

"What if I told you there is a better version of it—one that is not limited to Purple Stone City and the zone around it?"

"With this version, you can speak with anyone in the Southern Region."

What!

Various gasps escaped from the leaders. This was the first time they heard such an absurd claim.

"Miss, are you sure you know what you’re saying?" a sturdy middle-aged man asked.

"I don’t believe it. Even the Standard Grade Spirit Link was already beyond imagination. Do you even know how big the Southern Region is?" another voice said with a sneer.

The woman on the podium did not have any change in her expression. "We’re the Thousand Wealth Chamber. Just because you’ve never seen it does not mean it doesn’t exist."

As she finished speaking, the female attendant revealed the Gold Grade Spirit Link.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the Gold Grade Spirit Link."

Looking at the beautiful design of the Gold Grade Spirit Link, everyone in the room gasped in shock.

"So beautiful!" a young miss uttered, her eyes shining in amazement.

Unlike the Common Grade and Standard Grade Spirit Link, the Gold Grade was different.

Painted in blue and red with a lotus flower made it appealing.

Those that had been clamouring that it was impossible for such an artifact to exist held their breath as their eyes were fixated on the Gold Grade Spirit Link.

"Unlike its predecessor, the Gold Grade Spirit is not limited to a particular number of contacts. It is unlimited. You can add as many contacts as you like."

"Apart from that, you don’t need the main transmission hub. The Gold Grade Spirit Link will magically locate its contact and connect with it."

"As for those worrying that our claim might be false, our chamber dares you to prove us wrong. If you succeed, you will receive ten million middle-grade Spirit Stones."

"But if you’re wrong, you will be banned for life from our chamber."

"Huh!"

Everyone sucked in a cold breath. Ten million middle-grade spirit stones. That was insane.

Even though most of them were powerful clans in the city, such amounts were not something they could fork out without going bankrupt.

From this, they could deduce the chamber’s claim might not be wrong. Besides, the Common Grade and Standard Grade were evident that it was possible.

As for accusing the chamber in order to gain the ten million middle-grade spirit stones, that would be suicide.

With their strength, who would dare plot against them?

Standing on the podium, the woman looked at the quiet audience and a light smile crept up her lips.

What is a Gold Grade Spirit Link? Every worker of the chamber used the Platinum Grade Spirit Link.

Compared to it, a Gold Grade Spirit Link is nothing.

However, all these thoughts did not appear on her face. She flashed her best smile and continued.

"Now, I believe everyone knows how important this artifact is. Unfortunately, this is a limited product."

"Because you’ve bought the Standard Grade Spirit Link, our chamber has decided to reduce the price."

Everyone had their expressions brightened up. As long as it was not too expensive, they would get their hands on it.

"A Gold Grade Spirit Link costs one million middle-grade spirit stones but it has been reduced to five hundred thousand. However, that is not the best part."

Her words captured their attention as they focused on her.

"For one million middle-grade spirit stones, you will get three Gold Grade Spirit Links."

"Is that not great? All thanks to our Young Master’s generosity," she added.

"Really!"

"We will get three for one million middle-grade spirit stones?"

The audience could not believe their eyes. Such rare artifacts, even if it was worth the million middle-grade Spirit Link,

No one would complain.

"Yes," she nodded. "We only have three batches and I don’t know when we’re going to have another stock. So, don’t miss this chance."

Her words fueled the audience’s competitive spirit.

The clan leaders looked at each other with a determined expression.

"Husband, you must get our hands on it," Madam Qing whispered to her husband.

"Of course, we must get our hands on it," her husband responded firmly.

They could not afford to miss such a rare chance.

The City Lord looked at the various clan leaders and sneered. One of them belongs to me.

’With this, my plan to clean this city will move swiftly.’

The Long clan young miss looked at her father. "Father, we must not miss this chance."

"Don’t worry. We won’t miss it," the Long clan master responded firmly.

"Now let the bidding begin. Each bid must increase by one thousand middle-grade spirit stones."

"Start!"

"1,500,000!" the Long clan master shouted.

"Humph! 1,600,000!" another voice shouted.

"1,700,000!"

"1,800,000!"

"2,000,000!" the Qing clan master shouted.

Everyone looked at the Qing clan master in shock for a moment. Before everyone recovered from the huge number, the City Lord spoke.

"3,000,000!"

"Huh!"

Various gasps echoed in the room and everyone looked at the City Lord in amazement.

So, the City Lord is this wealthy, the clan leaders thought and they exchanged subtle glances.

However, the City Lord did not care about their schemes. He was determined to get his hands on this Spirit Link—no one would stop him.

"Going once!"

"Going twice!"

"Sold. Congratulations to the City Lord," the auctioneer smiled brightly.

From the backstage, a female attendant brought a box made of glass and inside were the three Gold Grade Spirit Links.

Receiving the glass box, the City Lord could not hide his happiness. With this, his plan would succeed.

With the City Lord stealing the first batch of the Gold Grade Spirit Link, the second round was more fierce than the first round.

And the Qing clan managed to secure it at 4,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

"This is the last batch. I hope you won’t miss this rare chance," the auctioneer reminded with a mesmerizing smile playing on her lips.

The Long clan master was furious. He always believed his clan was one of the richest clans in the city but today he realized how wrong he was.

’I cannot miss this. I must get my hands on the last by all means,’ he thought, clenching his fist.

Beside him, his daughter was also nervous.

How could their clan be lesser than the Qing clan?

When the bidding for the last Gold Spirit Link started, it was like a battlefield.

"4,500,000!"

"...."

"5,000,000!" the Long clan shouted.

"5,500,000!" the Mad Lion mercenary leader shouted, fiercely glaring at the Long Clan master.

"Y-You... can you even afford such a huge amount?" the Long clan was furious and pointed at him.

"That’s none of your business," he retorted.

The auctioneer was smiling from ear to ear but did not forget her job.

"Going once!"

"Going twice!"

All the clan masters and various leaders looked at the Long clan master, waiting for his bid, only to see him barge out of the auction room.

Seeing this, the auctioneer shouted,

"Sold!"

Meanwhile, on the upper floor, Mo Jian watched everything play according to his prediction.

"Young Master, you’re too good..." Zhao Tian grinned.

The amount they made in the past seven days was over three months’ sales in the Western Region.

Who would have expected their neighboring region was this rich?

"What do you expect?" Mo Jian responded with a light smile playing on his lips.

Just then, a notification echoed in his mind.
