"Are you free today?"

"What's up? And why didn't you just call?"

At Jiang Yuan's house, Jiang Yuan curiously looked at the hurried Mu Qianshan.

"Because I couldn't get through to your phone."

Mu Qianshan complained to Jiang Yuan as he casually picked up a cup of water and gulped it down.

"Uh."

Jiang Yuan felt a bit awkward, his phone was on silent because he was working on making cards.

"Alright, let's get to the point."

"If you're free today, come with me to the auction."

Mu Qianshan didn't mind and asked Jiang Yuan after finishing his water.

"Auction?"

"Yes."

Mu Qianshan nodded and started to explain to Jiang Yuan.

"This auction is organized by the military. They are mainly auctioning white, blue, and purple quality cards that were obtained from a Monster Race Grotto Heaven in the southern part of the city."

Jiang Yuan understood. Last year, when the Grotto Heaven in the south city opened, the military immediately deployed their forces there.

With the army and various civilian teams, they quickly stabilized the Grotto Heaven.

However, due to the Sea Monsters from the East Sea, they only managed to stabilize it and not much else.

Only this year, when the Sea Monsters' offensive slowed down, they managed to penetrate into the Monster Race world in the Grotto Heaven and established a base there.

It seems that the cards being auctioned this time should be the spoils from this venture into the Monster Race world.

"But with the amount of money I have, what can I possibly buy?"

After hearing what Mu Qianshan said, Jiang Yuan felt a bit helpless and spread his hands.

Though recently he made some money selling [Linglong Tower].

But that amount is nothing at an auction.

To put it bluntly, it might not even meet the entry qualifications.

"That's why I said you should come with me. What's mine is yours, right?"

Mu Qianshan rolled his eyes at Jiang Yuan and left without waiting for a response.

"Let's stop talking about it and just go."

"The auction starts in half an hour, don't dawdle."

"Alright."

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan also smiled, grabbed his stuff, and followed Mu Qianshan out.

The auction place was a bit far from where Jiang Yuan lived, but Mu Qianshan had already prepared the transportation.

Just a normal limited edition sports car.

"By the way, when is Nezha going to visit my place again? My little brother asks me every day when Nezha will become his teacher."

After getting into the car, Mu Qianshan asked Jiang Yuan.

That day, in front of Mu Qianle, Nezha showed off his impressive skills and Mu Qianle's admiration shifted from Mu Qianshan to Nezha.

No choice, Nezha's shooting is both cool and effective.

After the mission that day, Mu Qianle immediately said that both of them were welcome.

Unfortunately, only Bu Qiuyao came the next day.

Nezha didn't find it interesting, so he had no intention of becoming their combat skills teacher.

Now Mu Qianle kept pestering Mu Qianshan, asking tirelessly when Nezha would come to teach him.

After all, Nezha is a friend of Mu Qianshan.

"Ha, Nezha probably isn't interested in that for now."

Jiang Yuan laughed. Nezha is not the kind of guy who has much patience.

Especially when it comes to teaching others.

"Well, that's too bad." Mu Qianshan shrugged and didn't say much more.

This kind of thing can't be forced.

The two quickly arrived at the auction venue.

The identity of the eldest young master of the Mu Family was quite useful; the two of them directly entered a private box.

"See if there's anything of interest."

As soon as they entered the box, Mu Qianshan handed a tablet from the table to Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan picked it up and glanced over it; it displayed information about various auction items.

There were a total of one hundred items; twenty were of white quality, seventy were of blue quality, and the remaining ten were of purple quality.

After browsing for a while, Jiang Yuan roughly had some ideas.

"What does 'the auction rules for the purple quality items are tentative' mean?"

"I'm not quite sure."

Mu Qianshan shook his head: "It's said that the military has encountered some issues, otherwise, they wouldn't organize this auction. Perhaps the auction rules for these purple quality cards are related to that."

Although Mu Qianshan wasn't clear about the specifics, he had heard the elders in his family mention it casually once or twice.

It was said that this auction was to resolve a long-standing problem troubling the military.

However, Mu Qianshan couldn't think of what problem was so big that it would lead the military to auction off these spoils of war.

"Let's wait for them to explain it clearly; there's no rush."

"That works, but did you see any items that caught your eye?"

"There are three."

Jiang Yuan did not hesitate and pointed them out to Mu Qianshan.

"That will be a bit challenging."

Mu Qianshan stroked his chin; the two cards of blue quality were manageable, but the one of purple quality was indeed a bit challenging.

"Just do your best."

Jiang Yuan smiled; he wasn't too concerned.

He knew Mu Qianshan was referring to the card of purple quality.

However, the problem was that this purple-quality card wasn't something he could use right now.

Both using and card making were out of the question for him at this point.

Moreover, Jiang Yuan was interested in it because it was part of a card he wanted to make later.

If he couldn't get it this time, he could look for it later.

Besides that purple quality card, there was another purple quality card he was quite interested in.

But the main issue was that his current strength couldn't handle using a purple quality card.

His physical strength at the mid-stage of the Xingji period couldn't support materializing a purple quality card.

After sitting down on the sofa, the auction quickly started.

It was hosted by someone from the military, and with no fuss nor needless words, they began immediately with the first item.

"White quality Skill Card, Heterochromia Fox Demon's Talent Skill Card, Spiritual Shock, starting bid: two Low Grade Star Spirit Stones."

After the young host introduced the item, bidding voices emerged from the crowd below.

Although Spiritual Shock was a rare attack card targeting spiritual power, it was, after all, only a white quality card.

Eventually, the bidding for this card rose to nine Low Grade Star Spirit Stones and then stopped.

"This cheap?"

Jiang Yuan was astonished at the price.

This seemed like the normal price, right?

He thought he'd need to bring a lot of money.

Turns out he was misguided by fantasy novels of his previous life!

It seems he wasn't completely penniless after all.

"After all, this is an auction targeting the first four major realms; naturally, there won't be any high-end cards."

Mu Qianshan explained, then quickly pressed the bid button.

The second item auctioned was also a Skill Card, and it quite suited his needs.

White quality Skill Card "Golden Sword Qi"!
