After the Sword Saint confirmed that he couldn't vomit, he went completely crazy. He rushed towards the members of the Supervisory Group, ready to snatch the Golden Apex Potion from them. Unfortunately, after he took a few steps, two large hands made of rocks appeared under his feet, binding his feet in place.
"You have two minutes and twenty-two seconds left."
Lin Yun calmly looked at this Sword Saint and started counting down.
Seeing his skin slowly turning black, the Sword Saint thoroughly collapsed.
"It has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me. The Great Elder sent me here. As long as I complete the mission to frame the Gilded Rose, I'll get a huge amount of resources …
"Save me, save me, I'll tell you everything, I don't want to die, I'm still young, I still have a chance to advance to the Heaven Rank, I don't want to die here, give me a Golden Top Potion, give it to me, I'll pay, I'll pay double …"
The Sword Saint directly admitted that he came to frame the Gilded Rose, and the surroundings went into an uproar. This was all done in front of everyone. There were two Artisans, six Heaven Rank powerhouses, and seven Master Alchemists. Moreover, the one who did it wasn't a member of the Gilded Rose. Everyone could see what was going on.
"There's still forty seconds left."
Lin Yun kept counting down while the Sword Saint went crazy.
"Hughes Family, I come from the Hughes Family, my name is Bush. The Great Elder gave me Doehring's three-hour curse, and this corpse is an Expert Swordsman I casually caught outside. I don't know him.
"Right, there's him, there's also that guy, William. After poisoning that guy, he immediately gathered the members of the supervisory group to do an examination.
"Save me, save me, I don't want to die, I'll tell you everything, give me a Golden Top Potion …"
Halfway through his words, the unrecognizable Sword Saint started vomiting blood and his life fluctuations rapidly weakened.
As for one of the members of the Supervisory Group, his face instantly turned pale. Then, a ruthless look appeared on his face as he unleashed a Gale Blade at the Crazy Sword Saint. Unfortunately, when the Gale Blade arrived before the Crazy Sword Saint, it suddenly collapsed.
Lin Yun spat out a rune and thoroughly sealed his mana.
The continuous changes left everyone dumbfounded. Meanwhile, the Berserk Sword Saint's blood was flowing out of his mouth like a stream.
His skin had also turned completely black. The black color was very evenly distributed. Some places were darker, while others were lighter. It was like a black ring. There were only a few seconds left …
At this time, the people from the Monitoring Team seemed to remember something. This was an important witness. If the witness died, their Monitoring Team's mistake would not be cleared. Most importantly, this framing seemed to involve people from the Monitoring Team. This was a huge scandal …
A member of the Supervisory Group hurriedly took out a bottle of Golden Apex Potion and poured it into the Mad Sword Saint's mouth. In less than five seconds, the Mad Sword Saint stopped vomiting blood, and in ten seconds, his dark skin returned to its normal color. However, he looked very weak, as if he was on his last breath.
After another five seconds, the Mad Sword Saint's weakened body rapidly recovered. At least his complexion was no different from a normal person. Even the pustules on his face had disappeared, and his cheeks had returned to their original appearance.
After revealing his face, the people in the surroundings immediately recognized him.
"Oh, damn, it's really that dirty thief, Bush. That guy still owes me thirty purple golds. I didn't expect him to appear here."
"That guy is a notorious scoundrel. Robbery, deceit, swindling, there's nothing he hasn't done. I didn't expect him to actually dare to do this. He is really courageous. Those Hughes Family b * stards thought that they were hugging the thick thighs of the Rodney Family, they were really arrogant these past few years …"
Although Bush had returned to normal, he was now lying on the ground. His eyes were still filled with fear as he watched himself die bit by bit. For a scoundrel like him who would do anything, there was nothing more terrifying than this …
There was no need to say anything now. The facts had already proven that the guy who said that the Gilded Rose's Golden Apex Potion was highly toxic was actually willing to say anything in order to obtain a bottle of Golden Apex Potion.
As long as they weren't idiots, everyone knew what was going on. He was on the verge of death, yet he trusted the Golden Apex Potion the most.
The people of the monitoring group took Bush away, and the sealed Golden Top Potion was naturally returned to the Gilded Rose. Even the potion they used was honestly paid for with purple golds.
Lin Yun didn't care about this, because the facts had already proven how powerful the Gilded Rose's Golden Apex Potion was. The scoundrel who framed the Golden Apex Potion would always choose the Golden Apex Potion when he was on the verge of death, because he knew that the Golden Apex Potion could save his life.
Moreover, a guy on the verge of death completely recovered after taking the Golden Apex Potion for fifteen seconds. He didn't feel weak for a long time after being detoxified. No one was blind, they could naturally see it clearly.
There was no need to say anything more about the Gilded Rose's potion. The 30% increase in sales on the same day was enough to explain the problem. Moreover, all the Golden Apex Potions in stock were sold out on the same day. After all, a Golden Apex Potion was sold for 200,000 purple golds. This wasn't the golds of the Andalusia Kingdom. The purchasing power of each purple gold was at least nine times that of the Andalusia Kingdom's golds!
Lin Yun didn't care about this matter. But the next day, three announcements and research results appeared in the Starry Sky College's internal journal.
One was issued in the name of the Starry Sky College's supervisory group. It contained a detailed analysis and explanation of the Golden Apex Potion. Unfortunately, the supervisory group had a scandal, and many people were doubting the authenticity of this report.
The second one was issued by the Starry Sky College's Vice Dean Zeiss. He expressed his apologies to the Gilded Rose for the problems that occurred with the Starry Sky College's supervisory group. Moreover, he announced in the name of the Starry Sky College that the Hughes Family would never be welcomed by the Starry Sky College. Any Starry Sky College's territory or stores wouldn't welcome the Hughes Family.
With this stern announcement, the Hughes Family wouldn't be able to mingle in the Odin Kingdom. Especially for alchemy items. Apart from the black market, they wouldn't be able to go anywhere else.
As for the third research report, everyone was somewhat surprised, but they were very convinced. Because the owner of the third report was Gurrig Hauss, an Artisan of the Hauss Family specializing in the research of plants and potioneering.
He used a very impressive tone to describe the effects of the Gold Top potion. All the low-level poisons that had been experimented on could be removed. Furthermore, all the poison samples that had appeared at this stage that the Hauss family had in reserve had all been experimented on, and they could still be removed.
Moreover, the Golden Apex Potion could also increase the user's poison resistance. Within seven days of taking the Golden Apex Potion, the user would be immune to poison, and after seven days, their poison resistance would also clearly increase.
Of the three reports, only Gurrig's report was convincing to everyone, because that guy's world was pure alchemy. Everyone felt that this guy had an eccentric temper, and anyone who said that Gurrig had been bribed would definitely be drowned in their spit.
"Idiot, Gurrig, that eccentric guy, has been bribed? Is there something wrong with your brain? "
The Rodney Family's Great Elder spat in the face of the person reporting. He almost stepped on the face of the person who said that Gurrig had been bribed by the Gilded Rose.
Even if they were enemies, the Great Elder wouldn't believe that a guy like Gurrig, who hadn't changed in nearly a millennium, could be bribed. That could only mean one thing, the results of the report were true.
By the time this news was reported to Wilder, his face was so dark that it seemed like black ink would drip out of it.
"Idiots, idiots of the Hughes Family, this is what they did. How did they guarantee it? They actually admitted to framing the Gilded Rose in front of everyone. Are the Hughes Family a group of brainless maggots?
"Give up on the Hughes Family and completely cut ties with them. We can't let these idiots affect our Family. Let's put aside the matter of the Gilded Rose for now, Neverwinter City's Starry Sky Auction is about to start.
"The decennial auction is an opportunity for us to display our Family's power, and it's also an opportunity to attack the Gilded Rose. Have you prepared the things to send to the auction?"
The Great Elder nodded and glanced at Wilder with a bit of fear.
"We have already chosen it. The Magic Tool component made by the Black Dragon of Destruction was sent to the auction. That thing doesn't have any value, but if used for research, it would definitely be a very brilliant thing. Those alchemists love that kind of thing the most.
"Our Family has already researched that thing, it's just a kind of pure raw material. Unfortunately, it has already been forged, and it's only a part of a Magic Tool. It's an unimportant part and can only be used for research …"
Wilder nodded.
"Get the auction list as soon as possible."
After giving his instructions, Wilder turned and left. The Great Elder looked at Wilder's back and faintly sighed.
'Wilder's temperament is becoming more and more arrogant and overbearing. I really don't know if this is good. If he leads our Rodney Family, it will only make the Rodney Family stronger. Strength isn't enough to make the Family prosperous.
'Moreover, if we keep going against the Gilded Rose, there won't be any good results. The Starry Sky College's Vice Dean personally wrote a report, and even that eccentric guy from the Hauss Family. The Gilded Rose might not be defeated as easily as we think.
'Their alchemy skills, at least in the field of potioneering, have already surpassed us. No, it's not just surpassed, it's surpassed by a lot. That damned Gurrig actually wrote a research report for someone else, this matter might be troublesome …'
'This matter naturally isn't that complicated. It's just that the Golden Top Potion researched by Gurrig had an unprecedented plant as a material. In order to get that new plant, but since he couldn't get it, he could only take advantage of this opportunity to sell the Gilded Rose a favor.
The Golden Top Grass cultivated by Lin Yun all grew in the Demiplane. There was no such plant in Noscent. Even if Gurrig's knowledge of plants was high, he couldn't analyze the potion and find out anything.
The matter of being framed quickly passed, and the Gilded Rose's business became even more flourishing. The Rodney Family racked their brains to give the Gilded Rose an advertisement that couldn't be bought with money.
The Gilded Rose was developing smoothly. The first eight of the thirty-eight branches had already opened and their business was very good. Lin Yun's comprehension of Laws rapidly increased and he could continue researching truth runes.
After a few days, the Starry Sky College sent an invitation.
Looking at the invitation in his hand, Lin Yun casually put it away.
The Starry Sky College and a few major forces jointly organized the Starry Sky Auction. It was held once every ten years and would auction many good things that normally wouldn't appear in the outside world. Moreover, there were many things that no one knew the names of, as well as many special items that couldn't be determined. They would all appear in the Starry Sky Auction.
Besides inviting him to participate, this invitation was also an invitation to sell the items to be auctioned.
When Lin Yun accepted the invitation, he casually took out a piece of work that he had used to practice his research on truth runes. That piece of work was novel and powerful enough. Apart from Lin Yun, no one could replicate it, nor could they dismantle it to study it. It didn't matter if it was sold. Moreover, Lin Yun said that he had obtained it by accident, he didn't say that he had refined it himself.
Soon, Neverwinter City became noisy. People from all over the Odin Kingdom came to participate in the Starry Sky Auction. There were even people from other kingdoms.
The day before the auction, the Starry Sky College sent Lin Yun illustrations of the items to be auctioned. Everything that would appear in the auction was in the illustrations.
Soon, Lin Yun found a few things he needed, and there were two things that made Lin Yun frown. He couldn't determine what they were just by looking at the illustrations.
On the day of the auction, people from Starry Sky Academy came to guide them to the venue. It was a huge building in Starry Sky Academy. From the outside, it looked like a circular building that was more than 50 meters high. Each floor was very high, and the inside was like a huge opera house. In addition to the large number of seats on the first floor, the second and third floor were surrounded by a circle of individual private rooms, overlooking the audience below.
When Lin Yun led his group to the entrance of the building, the Rodney Family happened to come over from the side.
"Patriarch, that is Mafa Merlin, and the one following him is the manager of the Gilded Rose, Faleau."
The Great Elder whispered in Wilder's ear. In an instant, Wilder's expression became very unsightly. His eyes involuntarily turned black, his pupils turned blood red, and half of his cheeks showed signs of turning into metal.
After a few seconds, Wilder calmed down and fiercely glared at Lin Yun 'back.
'Andalusia country bumpkin, just wait, you'll die an ugly death when I get what I need. No one who offends me can live, there are no exceptions. Just wait to die, damned guy!
'Only those with equal strength can compete. What qualifications does the Gilded Rose have to compete with the Rodney Family? They are just ants on the side of the road, I can crush them with one foot.
'The ancestor has already confirmed that this lucky guy only caught the attention of the Astrologer because of his research on truth runes. He has nothing to do with the Astrologer. Since that's the case, the game is over.
'Damned country bumpkin, cherish your remaining life. The huge wealth of the Gilded Rose belongs to me, Wilder!'
Recalling the information he had just obtained, a cruel smile appeared on Wilder's face as he calmly walked into the auction house.
Lin Yun entered the auction house and discovered that the interior of the building was very big, it was at least three kilometers wide. Apart from the 2nd and 3rd floor's individual rooms, the seating arrangements were very loose. Most importantly, there was a Heaven Rank Magic Sealing Barrier. Anyone who entered would be unable to use their power. Even a Swordsman's Aura would be firmly suppressed within their body, reducing their strength by at least 90%.
But this kind of suppression was very humane. Their power couldn't be released, but when they encountered danger, they could use their strongest power to defend themselves. Moreover, there were many guards that had been specially identified by the array, and they all maintained their strength. Every guard had been carefully selected and was completely reliable.
After all, this Starry Sky Auction wasn't just hosted by the Starry Sky College, there were also a few large-scale forces, forces even more powerful than the Rodney Family. They absolutely wouldn't allow any problems to happen, and no one dared to cause trouble in the Starry Sky Auction.
Within half an hour, everyone that should have come had arrived. Those that hadn't entered were also shut outside, and the entrance to the auction venue was also closed.
The one in charge of the auction was an unknown Heaven Rank powerhouse with the power of the 3rd Rank of the Heaven realm. More importantly, that guy was an Artisan and was famous for his erudition. There were very few things he didn't recognize.
"I believe many people here know me. My name is Howard, and I'm very happy to be hosting the Starry Sky Auction once again. I won't waste any words, the first auction item is a piece of Elemental Amber. The largest diameter is 33 centimeters and the smallest diameter is 29 centimeters. Its shape is very regular and its purity can definitely be considered top-notch. It can store a 9th Tier Extraordinary Spell and its power can at most reach the limits of a 1st Rank Heaven Mage. The starting price is 30,000 purple golds …"
The item used to warm up the auction was a huge piece of Elemental Amber. This startled Lin Yun. After all, the last item of the auction was the best. The closer to the end, the better. The first item to warm up the auction couldn't be considered good, but it couldn't be bad either.
The value of Elemental Amber wasn't too high for Heaven Rank powerhouses, but such a huge piece of Elemental Amber with very high purity was something that couldn't be seen even once in a few hundred years. It was the most suitable item to warm up the auction.
