Mrs. and Mr. Smith
Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: Valepeak Mountain!_1 Chapter 1306: Chapter 1306: Valepeak Mountain!_1 Clay Freeman patted his chest with a righteous expression.

Alfred Freeman beside him burst his bubble, “You're just looking for an excuse to flirt with girls, right? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.”

Clay's face reddened, and he coughed twice before saying, “Nonsense, I'm clearly trying to help Mr. Smith here. Don't try to sow discord between us!”

Ethan Smith watched the scene, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Though these two were indeed wastrels, they were simple-hearted and endearing characters.

Ethan didn't say any more, as the auction had already started, and one treasure after another was brought onto the stage.

The first item was a Refined Armor, made of Geneiron and extremely solid, but it held little meaning for Ethan Smith.

The Refined Armor ultimately sold for 300,000 magic coins.

The second item was a Mythical Lunar Fruit, a true treasure and essential ingredient for many herbs, which sold for 250,000 magic coins.

The third and fourth items were unusual treasures, with most of their prices fluctuating around 500,000 magic coins.

As more and more treasures were brought on stage, Ethan's interest was piqued, but he ultimately held back.

The reason was that he needed to save enough bullets to buy the Life Aura, which might appear at any moment.

One after another, treasures were put up, and the Freeman brothers had already bid on a total of six items.

The prices of these six treasures were all extremely high, and the siblings didn't even know the functions of the items they bought. Their only goal was to demonstrate their wealth to facilitate Clay's courting endeavors.

In just an hour, the duo had spent tens of millions of magic coins.

Such wealth left Ethan Smith in awe.

It was worth noting that after robbing the gambling rock shop, he only had around ten million magic coins.

“Ugh, it's so annoying how much money some people have,” sighed Ethan Smith.

At this moment, the auctioneer brought out a transparent glass box.

In the box was a small flame with a dark and cold white color, which seemed weak but very strange.

“This is the Valepeak Buddha Flame; I believe many seniors are here for it,” said the auctioneer with a smile.

The moment the Valepeak Buddha Flame appeared, several treasures hanging in the corners seemed to be also prepared to make a move, which reflected the auction house's emphasis on the item.

“The Valepeak Buddha Flame comes from Valepeak Mountain. It is said that it is derived from a certain great figure within the mountain,” the auctioneer introduced.

The atmosphere in the room grew hotter; many people stared at the flame with heated eyes.

Ethan Smith was one of them. His love of flames was innate, perhaps due to his own spiritual fire or his identity as an alchemist.

“I wonder how much this will cost,” Ethan Smith pondered as he touched the black card in his hand.

Since this item was highly valued, the price would certainly not be cheap.

“What, you like it?” Clay Freeman poked Ethan Smith's arm.

Ethan Smith nodded, “Yeah, I'm a bit interested.”

“This thing is quite expensive, you know,” Clay muttered.

Curious, Ethan asked, “Do you know much about this item, Clay?”

“Of course! In all my life, there's no such thing as an unknown treasure!” claimed Clay Freeman arrogantly.

Ethan Smith followed up, “So, what's its function?”

Conceitedly, Clay replied, “The auctioneer is right; the Valepeak Buddha Flame is indeed from Valepeak Mountain. And you should know what Valepeak Mountain means, right?”

Ethan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

Clay exclaimed, “You don't know about Valepeak Mountain?”

“I really don't,” Ethan Smith said with a wry smile.

Clay accepted the response and continued, “Valepeak Mountain is one of the most famous places in the Rayleigh Province. It is said that there are many great figures who have fallen there, their corpses resting within the mountain. Some of these figures are Saints and even Tribulation Stage cultivators.”

Ethan Smith was shocked, “Such a place… hasn't anyone gone to explore it?”

“Of course there are, and many at that, but since ancient times no one who has gone in has ever come out,” Clay continued.

“Even Saints who enter end up dead,” Alfred Freeman chimed from the side.

Ethan couldn't help but shudder.

If not even Saints could survive, what lay hidden within Valepeak Mountain?

“That's why every item from Valepeak Mountain is extraordinary,” Clay Freeman said with a grin.

“As for the Valepeak Buddha Flame, some say it's transformed from the Corpse Qi of the great figures, while others say it's a natural flame that originates from within Valepeak Mountain. In any case, it's a rare item. If one can swallow it, their power will surely increase.”

Ethan Smith was already interested in the Valepeak Buddha Flame, and after hearing Clay's introduction, he grew even more eager.

He looked around and saw that many others also had their eyes on the flame.

“It seems many people are here for the Valepeak Buddha Flame,” Ethan mused softly.
