The huge open-pit mine Lin Yun controlled in the Abyss could produce as much as Noscent could produce in a year.
Even if someone could break the technology of the mana reactor, they would only be able to watch helplessly. However, it would be a joke to crack the technology. After the mana reactor was dismantled, all of its structures would be destroyed.
Lin Yun knew about this, but the others didn't. They only saw the mana reactor in contact with it. It was like a naked beauty swaggering there, making it impossible for them not to have bad thoughts about it.
Most people wanted to buy it for research, but there were also a few people who wanted to directly use the Mana Reactor.
For example, Wilder, who had a fanatical expression and red eyes.
"Great Elder, how many purple golds do we have? This thing will definitely be sold for a sky-high price. Fortunately, the Starry Sky Auction didn't list this thing as the finale, or else we definitely wouldn't have enough purple golds to buy this Mana Reactor.
"We have to get it, no matter how many purple golds we have, we have to get it. It can be used as a special Magic Tool and can be installed anywhere on the puppet.
"Then, I can install this Mana Reactor on my Steel Body. With this Mana Reactor, I can install a few powerful weapons on my Steel Body. It will definitely double my strength!"
Wilder's eyes were glowing red. Half of his body had already transformed into a body of steel. His left hand lifted the robe on his right arm, revealing a steel body that resembled an alchemy puppet. Following Wilder's movements, the steel began to transform, rapidly transforming into a frame that was connected to his arm. Once he obtained the magic reactor, he would immediately install it.
The moment the auction started, someone immediately raised the price to 4 million, trying to make others give up. But in less than a second, someone immediately raised the price to 4.3 million.
In less than five seconds, the price of the Mana Reactor had risen to five million.
Lin Yun calmly watched, but his attention was on Wilder. Especially when he saw that the right half of Wilder's body had turned into Steel Body, he immediately understood what Wilder wanted to do.
This Mana Reactor really suited Wilder very well. If his Body of Steel was equipped with a Mana Reactor, his strength would increase by at least threefold if he could match it well.
Thus, he was determined to obtain this Mana Reactor.
Lin Yun looked at the other bidders and saw that there were at least two hundred and eighty people bidding.
"10,000,000."
In an instant, Lin Yun raised the price to 10,000,000 purple golds. The price of 10,000,000 purple golds made a small number of people give up, but there were still close to two hundred people who seemed to have a price far higher than 10,000,000 purple golds.
As Lin Yun raised the price, Wilder couldn't sit still. His eyes were red as he fiercely glared at Lin Yun before looking at the bidders with an unfriendly expression.
'Damnit, these fools, don't they know that since that Artisan dared to sell it, they can rest assured that no one will be able to research the technology inside? They're only selling a Mana Reactor, they definitely won't be able to research anything too valuable.
'Even so, these fools are still hoping for a fluke. And that Mafa Merlin, damnit, he definitely wants to buy it to research. That guy is also an Artisan, how could he not know about the Artisan's secret methods? Even if he cracked it, he definitely wouldn't be able to research anything.
'That damned guy will definitely compete with me to the end, and with the other fools, the price of this thing will definitely be very high …'
Wilder gnashed his teeth and looked around, glaring at the others. He was certain that only a few people were prepared to use it for himself, and they definitely wouldn't be able to compete to the end.
After taking a deep breath, Wilder clenched his teeth and shouted his bid.
"30,000,000!"
The price of 30,000,000 had already exceeded the price in the minds of most people. In an instant, only a dozen or so people were still bidding, but each time they increased the price, it was only 200,000-300,000.
Lin Yun expressionlessly looked at Wilder's unrelenting expression, as if he wanted to kill him. Lin Yun sneered at Wilder.
"40,000,000."
A scarlet radiance flickered in Wilder's pitch-black eye as he unhesitatingly made another bid.
"50,000,000."
Lin Yun seemed to hesitate, and Faleau also had a strange expression on his face. Seeing this scene, Wilder suddenly smiled.
"Mafa Merlin, this is the Odin Kingdom. If you don't have purple golds, you should just f * ck off to a remote place like the Kingdom of Andalusia to retire."
Lin Yun stopped bidding, and Faleau also pulled Lin Yun back, apparently saying something. Lin Yun kept shaking his head. Seeing this, a victorious smile appeared on Wilder's face. As for the other three people who were still increasing the price by a few hundred thousand, they could simply be ignored.
The significance of this mana reactor was far less important to everyone here than it was to Wilder. After transforming into a Steel Body, not only would it be able to freely cast the Rodney Family's steel spells, but it would also have some abilities that only puppets could have, such as a weapon system.
The reason Wilder didn't use it was because the power of the weapon system wasn't as great as his steel spells.
After half a minute, the price rose to 55,800,000, and this was a price that two of the parties had jointly agreed on. As for Wilder, after raising the price to 60,000,000, all the other competitors withdrew from the competition.
60,000,000 for a mana reactor, this was no longer something a rational person would do.
The auctioneer had already started counting down, and when he reached 60,000,000 for the second time, Lin Yun stood up.
"89,500,000!"
Lin Yun raised his hand, as if he was staking everything on one throw. Faleau stood behind Lin Yun with some worry.
Wilder's expression slightly changed, but he instantly smiled.
'Idiot, you think you can scare me by increasing the price by 30,000,000 in one go?' 'This price is probably all the purple golds he can use. Looking at Faleau's expression, it's definitely the case.'
"Mafa Merlin, you don't have any purple golds? So stingy, there's still a small amount left.
90,000,000! "
After Wilder called out the final price, Lin Yun slowly sat back down and closed his eyes, perfectly satisfied.
A mana reactor he had made for practice had actually been sold for a sky-high price of 90,000,000, more than thirty times the starting price. It was definitely the item with the highest premium in this auction.
After tricking Wilder, Lin Yun no longer bid, and Wilder naturally obtained the mana reactor. Faleau, who had been worried behind Lin Yun, finally relaxed.
When he looked at Wilder, he couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy.
'What a pitiful fellow. This guy actually spent 90,000,000 to buy a piece of Lord Merlin's practice. Is he planning on using the mana reactor?
'If this idiot uses Lord Merlin's mana reactor to deal with Merlin in the future, then there will be a good show to watch. No, the outcome is already decided.
'This idiot will definitely be blown to death by the mana reactor …'
Faleau sat behind Lin Yun and lowered his head in silence, afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter.
Taking an alchemist's work and using it to deal with the alchemist wasn't something that hadn't happened before. There had been such a vicious incident a long time ago.
An Artisan died under his own work. This matter thoroughly ignited a revolution in alchemy. Although adding a backdoor to a work would still cause one's reputation to plummet if it was discovered.
But now, all alchemists would add a program to their Magic Tools or puppets, and that was that they absolutely couldn't redeem the creator.
When an alchemist was harmed, the alchemist would directly take control of the Magic Tool or puppet. This was something that everyone knew.
Some time ago, a Master Alchemist had been ambushed, and it just so happened that the Magic Tool the other party was holding had been made by that Master Alchemist. And then, there was no then …
The auction was still going on. Lin Yun didn't make a move in the later auctions, because the last few items were mostly True Spirit Magic Tools. The Gilded Rose simply didn't need those finished products. The Magic Tools they used were all custom-made.
In the following auctions, Lin Yun would only bid for some top quality materials or rare items, but he would directly give up if the bidding price was too high.
The three-day auction soon came to an end, and everyone began to take their positions. Wilder was in high spirits, and he directly bound the magic reactor to his right arm. Combined with Body of Steel, the power he could exert now had at least doubled.
Even when walking out of the auction venue, Wilder didn't hide the half of his body that had turned into Steel Body. He specially revealed the mana reactor, which made many people sigh in admiration. Others would only take it back to research, or install it on some large-scale alchemy tool or puppet.
But not a single one of them could directly use a mana reactor to increase their strength like Wilder.
Although he spent 90,000,000 purple golds, no one felt that Wilder's money wasn't worth it.
Looking at the expressions of the people in the surroundings, some people who had a good relationship with the Rodney Family came up to greet him and specifically praised Wilder's vision.
"Patriarch Wilder really has a good vision. With this mana reactor, your strength will increase a few times. This isn't something that can be bought with 90,000,000 purple golds.
"Unlike us, we were only thinking about how to go back and research it. We didn't expect Patriarch Wilder to already be ahead of us, truly amazing …"
Many forces that had a good relationship with the Rodney Family or were attached to the Rodney Family came up to flatter Wilder, making the smile on Wilder's face never disappear.
Wilder was surrounded by a group of people not far from the auction hall. At this time, Lin Yun also came out of the auction house.
He hadn't even taken two steps when Zeith hurriedly rushed over from behind.
"Sir Mafa, please wait a moment."
"Oh, Sir Zeith, what's the matter?"
Zeith had an awkward expression on his face. He hesitated for a bit before slowly opening his mouth.
"Sir Mafa, congratulations. Your mana reactor sold for a sky-high price of 90,000,000 purple golds. I always thought that with that kind of structure and the idea of forming an external energy supply system, even if I had the theory, it would take at least a few hundred years to produce results.
"I really didn't expect Sir Mafa to produce the finished product so quickly, it's really amazing …
"Well, it's reasonable to say that I shouldn't ask this question. After all, you already copied the mysteries of the truth runes and gave them to the Starry Sky College. But I'm really curious. I've been thinking about it ever since I saw that mana reactor, but I still haven't found a suitable method.
"This …"
Zeith had an awkward expression on his face. He didn't know what to say. This question could be considered prying into someone else's research secrets. This was a taboo among alchemists.
Even if he had researched and imitated it and cracked the technology, it was his own ability, but asking directly was a bit shameless.
"Sir Mafa, don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to pry into your technology. How about this, I'll tell you my thoughts and see if I'm in the right direction …"
Lin Yun smiled before Zeith could finish his words.
"What's wrong with that? That mana reactor is an experimental product that can't be mass-produced.
"And strictly speaking, it can also be considered a failure because it used Magic Liquid Tin and Eternal Dark Gold, and a lot of them were needed. Without those two things, that mana reactor simply can't be manufactured.
"Making one used up all the Magic Liquid Tin I had, and more than half of my stock of Eternal Dark Gold was used …"
Zeith wasn't disappointed when he heard this. Instead, he looked pleasantly surprised.
"A genius idea. Using the powerful stability of Eternal Dark Gold and the stable conductive structure of Magic Liquid Tin, the manufacturing difficulty was reduced by more than half.
Although the cost is very high, at least the theory has been verified. This is a great achievement … "
Zeith was an Artisan, as well as a research maniac. He didn't care if it could be turned into profit, he only cared about whether the theory could be verified or not. This was the most important thing.
After chatting with Zeith for a while, Lin Yun took Faleau back to the Gilded Rose. The Moonlight Gem and the Chapter of Beginning had to be dealt with, this was the most important matter.
After the auction, a lot of information started leaking. For example, the Chapter of Beginning that Lin Yun bought belonged to the Rodney Family, but the mana reactor that the Rodney Family bought belonged to the Gilded Rose.
Some people even said that the mana reactor was only an experimental product made in a laboratory to verify the theory, and that the creator was the master of the Gilded Rose, Mafa Merlin.
As the news rapidly spread, Lin Yun had already returned to the Gilded Rose and entered the Demiplane.
He used the alchemy device to cut open that huge Moonlight Essence bit by bit. The Moonlight Essence could be used as the best raw material. As for the thirty-three-centimeter-diameter spherical Moonlight Gem, it was taken out by Lin Yun.
After taking out the Moonlight Gem, Lin Yun instantly appeared in the sky of the Demiplane and roused the power of the Demiplane to slowly pull that Moonlight Gem.
As the power of the Demiplane and the Moonlight Gem reached an agreement, the Moonlight Gem rose up on its own and its radiance rapidly spread before turning into a huge white full moon hanging in the sky.
At this time, it happened to be nighttime in the Demiplane. That gentle moonlight started sprinkling over the entire Demiplane, making the originally dark Demiplane shine with a faint light.
In an instant, Lin Yun felt that the originally slow evolution of the Light and Darkness Laws in the Demiplane had greatly increased.
The originally scattered fragments of the Darkness Law had become even more numerous. It wouldn't take long for the embryonic form of the Darkness Law to take shape.
A moon at night and a sun during the day, this was what a complete world should have.
A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Yun's mouth. Just as he had guessed, such a huge Moonlight Gem could truly be used as a primer to make a moon appear in the Demiplane.
As time passed, the moon in the Demiplane would definitely be the first to evolve, and it would be a true moon, unlike the sun, which had been replaced by God Fire Ember.
Now that the evolution of the moon was complete, all that was left was the Demiplane's natural evolution. Lin Yun once again took out the Beginning Chapter and that unimaginably pure darkness power filled the surface of the Beginning Chapter.
He then took out the Book of Death and the Beginning Chapter resonated with the Book of Death. Without Lin Yun's control, the Beginning Chapter took the initiative to merge with the Book of Death.
The Beginning Chapter couldn't display its full power without relying on the Book of Death, and the Book of Death wouldn't be able to use darkness power without the Beginning Chapter.
As the Beginning Chapter merged with the Book of Death, the Book of Death automatically flipped open. Apart from the Sage Chapter, the Truth Chapter, the Element Chapter, and the All-Encompassing Chapter, another page appeared behind them, the Beginning Chapter.
That page of the Chapter of Beginnings was pure darkness. There seemed to be countless possibilities inside, but it also seemed like there was only pure darkness. When the darkness reached its purest point, there wasn't even any Dark Force. Everything was like nothingness, complete nothingness, nothing existed there.
Lin Yun sensed the power of the Beginning Chapter and roused the Book of Death. In an instant, the surroundings were shrouded in darkness. Nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard, and nothing could be felt. There was only pure darkness.
The sound of his heartbeat became thunderous, and the sound of his blood flowing became like a surging flood. Every breath sounded like a storm at the end of the world.
