For over a millennium, the Black Tower had always believed that the excavation of the Sun King Ruins was a perfect success. There were no casualties during the entire excavation, and all the valuable items were packed up and transported back to the Black Tower.
But a millennium later, a young mage gave the Black Tower a resounding slap in the face.
At that time, people learned that the Black Tower's excavation of the Sun King Ruins wasn't a success, nor was it perfect. They had made a mistake that would make them regret it for over a millennium.
Naturally, these words couldn't be said to Hören.
Thus, Lin Yun could only hold back his laughter, and it was very difficult for him to hold it back.
The transaction for the 2nd Meditation Law Set was reached while the two of them were holding back their laughter.
Two of the three Meditation Law Sets had already been traded, and the remaining one immediately made everyone's eyes red. The dozen Archmages stood there, looking at each other with unconcealable anger. At this time, everyone's thoughts were more or less the same. 'The Black Tower bought one, the Cloud Tower bought one, so the remaining one should be mine, right?'
The problem was that there were too many of them …
And the worst part was that Lin Yun said something else.
"I want to exchange the remaining Meditation Law Set for some mana crystals …"
"…" After hearing Lin Yun's words, Jouyi and Harren, who had already reached the shore, couldn't help showing expressions of sympathy and rejoicing. Fortunately, they had gritted their teeth and obtained a Meditation Law Set. Otherwise, they might have had to fight against a dozen red-eyed Archmages, and they would have to use mana crystals as currency.
This was the rhythm of extorting people to death ah …
Previously, Joy's South Nolun and Hören's Sun King Ruins had been transactions that had been mutually beneficial, and it had been worth it. After all, there was no competition.
But now, they were trading in mana crystals …
The transactions between mages had always been based on mana crystals. These Archmages had been famous for decades, and most of them had formidable forces behind them. Which one of them didn't have a large number of mana crystals? This way, it wouldn't be a one-on-one transaction like before, it would be like an auction. A dozen Archmages could participate, and it would definitely be a bloodbath.
Eljin was the first to step forward. "Sixteen spirit mana crystals."
Only mana crystals above level 30 were qualified to be called spirit mana crystals.
The mana of spirit mana crystals was very pure and could be directly absorbed by ordinary mages. If used as a mana source, it could be used in all fields of alchemy. But spirit mana crystals had always been very rare. Magic beasts above level 30 were already at the Archmage realm. Even Archmages of the Magic Hand would have to take a huge risk to hunt them.
Sixteen spirit mana crystals were already all of Eljin's savings. It could be said that he had spent all of his fortune on that Meditation Law Set.
"Eighteen."
"Twenty."
"Twenty-five."
"Twenty-seven."
"Thirty."
…
Eljin didn't even have time to put his hand down after saying "sixteen" before he was drowned out by a succession of bids. At that time, only a dozen Archmages kept calling out high prices. By the time Eljin recovered, the bid for that Meditation Law Set had already reached thirty spirit mana crystals.
"…" Eljin wanted to spit blood on the spot.
'Damnit, those are spirit mana crystals …
One is worth at least 5,000,000 golds, and these thirty spirit mana crystals are worth over a hundred million golds. In the Kingdom of Andalusia, that's enough to buy a small city. This is too crazy! You usually act like you're in a pinch, hesitating for a long time just to buy a few potions, how come you aren't hesitating today? 'Over a hundred million golds are being thrown out without even blinking. Damnit, how can you be so generous?'
This price was truly frightening. Eljin wasn't the only one who couldn't bear it, the other Archmages also couldn't bear it. Soon, a few Archmages were defeated, inwardly cursing those heartless rich b * stards while regretfully looking at that Meditation Law Set.
After a few rounds of bidding, the price of the Meditation Law Set had already reached 45 spirit mana crystals. At this time, only three of the dozen Archmages were left.
The fiercest among them was undoubtedly Howl Island's master, Mogg.
That 5th Rank Archmage had five personal planes, and Howl Island was located in the rich Endless Sea. His financial power could be said to be close to that of the two major mage forces. He had missed two Meditation Law Sets before, and now that he found out that there was only one left, how could he not go all-out?
Soon, Mogg's fierce bid defeated that of the Fein Family's Elder. Although that 7th Rank Archmage had the backing of the entire Fein Family, he was still a bit lacking when compared to Mogg's financial power.
The last Archmage still competing with Mogg was actually Nolan from the Mercury Tower.
He was the only one among the many Archmages that Lin Yun couldn't clearly see through. He looked like an ordinary 9th Rank Archmage like Kave, but Lin Yun felt that the master of the Mercury Tower, Karon's teacher, wasn't as simple as he looked.
In fact, Mogg also felt the same way.
Nolan's behavior was really too strange.
He would only bid one more than him every time, but no matter how many he bid, Nolan would unhesitantly increase his bid by one.
This was very disgusting …
After defeating that Fein Family's Elder, Mogg straightforwardly clenched his teeth and directly bid, "Fifty."
But it was a tragedy …
Nolan didn't even think about it and directly replied, "Fifty-one."
"Damn …" Mogg almost had a heart attack. At this time, Mogg really wanted to ask, 'Are you deliberately trying to set yourself against me?'
Unfortunately, Mogg didn't have the guts …
The strength he displayed was already that of a 9th Rank Archmage, and as one of the three Artisans of the kingdom, his status was already comparable to that of Joy and Hören.
Nothing could be done about it, Mogg could only brace himself.
"Fifty-two."
"Fifty-three."
"Fifty-four."
"Fifty-five."
Mogg inwardly cursed while gnashing his teeth. In the end, Mogg even thought that the two of them would only bid one pill each and keep bidding for a few hundred or a few thousand.
Fortunately, that didn't happen.
When Mogg shouted, "Sixty," Nolan, who had been relentlessly chasing him, finally turned silent for the first time.
"Okay, I give up …"
"Sixty-two … Hold on, you give up?" When Mogg saw Nolan open his mouth, he subconsciously wanted to shout, "Sixty-two," but when he opened his mouth, he suddenly realized that Nolan seemed to have said … 'I give up?'
"Yes, I give up …" Nolan nodded, still smiling. He didn't look disappointed because of his failure.
But after saying that, he turned to look at Lin Yun from afar.
'Sure enough …' Lin Yun sighed when Nolan glanced at him. 'That old guy really brought his own rations …'
Normally, Lin Yun should be thanking Nolan for helping him raise the price to sixty spirit mana crystals.
But as Lin Yun thought about it, he felt very unbalanced.
'Damn, that old guy didn't spend a single mana crystal, yet he made me owe him a favor!
How could I feel unbalanced? '
But no matter what, Mogg used sixty spirit mana crystals to clinch the final Meditation Law Set.
That price wasn't something an ordinary person could imagine. Sixty grams of spirit mana crystals meant a huge fortune of three hundred million golds. If it was put on the market at once, it would be enough to shake the entire kingdom's financial system. If it was used to buy magic equipment, it would be enough to buy at least ten True Spirit Magic Tools. If he wanted to get rid of an enemy, he could ask a team of Archmages to help him.
This was an irresistible price.
Mogg's expression was incomparably careful as he held those pieces of paper, as if he was holding a rare treasure, afraid of making even the slightest crease. That was a whole 60 spirit mana crystals! Even the wealthy Howling Island would have to fork out a third of their wealth for such a large sum.
Naturally, Mogg definitely wouldn't carry sixty spirit mana crystals on him.
Moreover, even Howling Island couldn't take out sixty spirit mana crystals at once. At most, they would gather forty to fifty, and the rest would have to be exchanged for other magic materials.
Fortunately, Lin Yun wasn't picky when it came to magic materials.
With the huge alchemy machine that was the Gilded Rose, no matter how many magic materials he had, he would be able to consume them.
As the final Meditation Law Set fell into Mogg's hands, the commotion brought by Lin Yun finally came to an end. Afterwards, the gathering returned to its usual rhythm. More than half of the Archmages brought their latest research insights, hoping to exchange them for the magic knowledge they needed.
Unfortunately, the previous three Meditation Law Sets had been too sensational, and the magic knowledge that appeared afterwards was accidentally implicated. Many of the research insights that should have been sought after were given the cold shoulder. Nothing could be done about it, many Archmages were still thinking about those three Meditation Law Sets, how could they have the time to care about other magic knowledge?
Thus, Lin Yun, Joy, Hören, Osul, and the others picked up a lot of benefits.
Especially the set of data that Osul bought. That was something that all the Master Alchemists of the Mercury Tower had spent a few years to calculate, but Osul ended up exchanging for it at an extremely low price.
Naturally, compared to Lin Yun 'three Meditation Law Sets, this was only a small interlude.
Three days later, the Magic Hand's gathering ended. Lin Yun once again boarded his carriage and left Oddrock City, which had brought him a huge amount of wealth.
With sixty spirit mana crystals in hand, Lin Yun had the confidence to carry out many of his plans.
For example, the Doom Staff that was destined to become the strongest True Spirit Magic Tool!
