“Alright, I got it.”
Wei Zihan nodded and was about to get up when Victor spoke again.
“Don’t tell Tie Zhan and the others about this for the time being.”
“Why?”
“The competition isn’t over yet. If we tell them now, it will only upset their hearts. If that happens, we won’t stand a chance at all.”
“Okay…”
Wei Zihan naturally trusted Victor unconditionally.
From the moment the two met, to the moment Victor fought 20 half-step nascent soul cultivators without losing, Wei Zihan had already been labeled as Victor. The two of them were destined to be in the same boat.
Therefore! Wei Zihan also believed that Victor would definitely not harm her.
After returning to his room, Victor called out to Lian Hua and asked a few questions.
“The current situation is very complicated. Do you have any solutions?”
“Tell me.”
“Wei Zihan is only a step away from the city lord position, but those few forces have made a move. They basically mean that once Wei Heng dies, they will take action.”
“This… Even if you ask me, I can’t do anything against three third-rate sects and a second-rate force…”
Although Lian Hua was just a prostitute, her train of thought was very clear. In the face of absolute power, any means would be useless.
If there were still powerful nascent soul realm cultivators in White Dragon City after Wei Heng’s death, things would have been very easy.
However, that was the problem.
After Wei Heng’s death, there would be no well-known nascent soul realm cultivators in White Dragon City, and Victor would not stay here and risk his life for Wei Zihan. He would essentially be caught in a dead-end!
“Forget it. There’s no point in thinking about it anymore. I believe that Wei Heng has a plan. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be doing these meaningless things.”
The four major forces would definitely make a move. Ever since the beginning, Wei Heng understood this point. Based on this, Wei Heng still did not directly appoint a city lord, which proved that he had a corresponding solution and did not need Victor to worry about it.
As the saying went, the observers were more anxious than the person involved. Now, the only thing Victor needed to do was to deal with was the auction. That was all.
After leaving the city lord’s mansion, Victor chose to hold the auction at the most prosperous White Dragon Chamber of Commerce in White Dragon City. The reason was very simple.
Their starting capital was limited. In terms of renovations, they could not spend too many spirit stones. They could only choose from the existing chambers of commerce.
Moreover, the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce was the only chamber of commerce that did not request a share of the profits, which surprised Victor.
However, according to the other party, this was a win-win situation, so Victor did not think too much about it.
After a night of rest, Wei Zihan and the others woke up early the next morning and began to prepare for the auction.
To Victor’s surprise, there were more people than he had expected.
The auction that could accommodate 3,000 people was actually full, and half of the people did not have seats!
Victor had no choice but to use an even bigger auction venue, which could only accommodate nearly 5,000 people.
Just as Victor was curious as to why so many people were attracted. However, when he received the auction list, he was suddenly enlightened.
Not to mention the treasures of the people who came to auction, just Wei Heng alone had taken out three supreme treasures to auction!
“Treasured artifact, Stellar Transposition Disk, treasured artifact, Seven-ringed Saber, treasured artifact material, Viper Horn, tsk tsk tsk, it’s quite an amount here…”
Victor had only heard that the city lord of White Dragon City was very rich, but he did not know exactly how rich he was until now.
One had to know that there were five rankings for magical artifacts, from low to high. They were spirit artifacts, famous artifacts, treasured artifacts, saint artifacts, and immortal artifacts.
Saint artifacts and above were all precious artifacts that only first-rate sects were qualified to possess.
For ordinary sects, a single treasured artifact was enough to be used as a sect-guarding magical artifact!
And this time, Wei Heng had taken out two of them at once, which was enough to prove the establishment of White Dragon City!
As for the treasured artifact materials, they were even more precious!
In the hands of a weaponsmith master, a treasured artifact material could be turned into a saint artifact. No wonder so many people were attracted to it.
Very soon, the auction began. Because Wei Heng had given full authority to Wei Zihan and the others, Victor was the one in charge of the auction.
“I’m very happy that everyone has given me the honor to come to White Dragon City to participate in the auction. Of course, I know what everyone is waiting for. Without further ado, let’s start this auction as soon as possible.”
Victor chuckled and turned around. The first treasure had already been brought up.
“Today’s first treasure is the real deal. It’s a low-grade earth-grade cultivation technique. Wind-like Movement. The starting price is 1.5 million spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000 spirit stones. Now, the auction begins!”
Victor shouted loudly, and the entire venue began to raise the price in a commotion. Seeing this scene, the corners of Victor’s mouth curled up into a smile.
This auction had attracted many sects and clans, and even the Southern Plains’s Mu family and Western Plains’s Imperial Dynasty had sent people to participate in this auction. Therefore, Victor was very optimistic about the profits of this auction.
After all, just those three treasures alone were enough to fetch an astronomical price!
Very quickly, the bid on the stage had soared to 3.4 million. This price was still within Victor’s acceptable range.
After all, although this was an earth-grade cultivation technique, it was only a movement technique after all. It was not particularly practical. In addition, the cultivation conditions were extremely harsh. Thus, Victor’s prediction was that the price would probably not be more than 4 million.
Though, this 4 million could not be underestimated!
If the transaction was successful, just this treasure alone would allow Victor to recoup one-fifth of the profit, 20,000 spirit stones!
That was why Victor had chosen to hold the auction. It was simply to make a huge profit!
However, the bidding continued for a whole quarter of an hour, and the price soared to 4,300,000!
Of course, this was also the price limit of this so-called treasure. It was auctioned off by the local sects of the Central Plains.
“Congratulations to the Willow Sect of the Central Plains for successfully obtaining the earth-grade cultivation technique at the price of 4,300,000. Wind-like Movement!
“After the auction ends, the treasure will naturally be delivered to your hands.”
Victor’s smile grew even wider. Under everyone’s anticipation, the next treasure appeared.
“Today’s second treasure is also a huge deal. The famous artifact, the Swimming Dragon Sword, cuts through iron like mud. Among the famous artifacts, it is also considered a top existence. The starting price is three million spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 200,000 spirit stones!”
As Victor was introducing the treasure, he noticed that this treasure was actually sent by the Fire Sect.
“Interesting. The Fire Sect is here too. Where are they?”
Victor’s eyes darted rapidly. Finally, he found the figure of a Fire Sect member in a corner.
