Achilles was so infuriated that his eyelids kept twitching. He said, "Alright, then let's meet at the academy's arena three days later at this time."
Seeing Achilles leave dejectedly, Tynon felt extremely exhilarated.
Elsewhere, Fang Xingjian was also standing at the entrance and watching this farce. His female disciple Lilia said, "Master, that Achilles seemed to have sent a gift over earlier."
Ever since Fang Xingjian had completed 1% of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, the archbishop had announced that he would be discussing with the Church's upper echelon about the second phase of their collaboration with Fang Xingjian.
There might be more sword techniques for Fang Xingjian to evaluate.
He did not know how much money Fang Xingjian had earned from the first phase, nor did he know the exact amount of funds for the next phase. After all, these were all confidential matters.
However, it was obvious that the amount of money would only increase. Therefore, more and more people would come to him to establish connections.
What a joke. How much money did the Martial Techniques Grading Plan cost? And since Fang Xingjian had managed to snatch it by himself and even Hildebrand had not been able to win against him, there would naturally be no one else who would want to snatch it.
However, if they were to bootlick Fang Xingjian, even if Fang Xingjian were to leave a small portion of it for them to do, it would still be a huge sum of money.
Fang Xingjian nodded. "Achilles isn't a match for him. That Tynon is a little interesting." He smiled and walked toward the door.
"Send someone over to ask if he's willing to come over for a chat."
...
'Fang Xingjian is inviting me over?' Hearing that, Tynon's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself, 'This guy has seen through the wonders of the Gates of the Netherworld and wants to befriend me? Or is he looking into the profoundness of the Gates of the Netherworld? '
However, no matter what, Tynon did not plan on giving Fang Xingjian face. He said directly, "Tell him that I have some matters to attend to. Let's meet up next time."
The attendant replied and retreated. A short moment later, Hildebrand pushed open the door and entered the private room, saying, "Tynon, it's been a year since we last met. To think that your martial arts have improved tremendously."
Tynon stood up, looked at Hildebrand with an amused expression, and said, "Hildebrand, why have you come to my private room?" He turned his head to look at the window at the front of the private room. He could see that the stage was being prepared, and countless ordinary guests were starting to enter.
As for the other private rooms in the surroundings, they were all occupied by influential people in the Great Western City. Other than the auction house itself, no one knew the identities of the people in the private rooms.
The entire private room had an area of more than 100 square meters, and the walls and roof were coated with multiple layers of metal.
With such a great distance and the metallic coating, even a Conferred Knight would find it hard to use his Heaven's Perception to detect who was sitting inside. It provided the best privacy for the customers in the private room.
Hildebrand smiled and sat down next to Tynon. "It's been a long time since we last met. Do you not welcome me?"
Tynon found it funny. One year ago, even though he was ranked fifth, when had Hildebrand ever looked him in the eye?
But now, he had seriously injured Achilles with a single move, and the other party had become intimate with him. This was the charm of strength.
"Young Master Hildebrand, how could I possibly not welcome you?" Tynon said with a shrug.
Hildebrand looked at Tynon curiously and said, "You've improved tremendously over the past year. Did you have some fortuitous encounters?"
Tynon said calmly, "I entered a few ancient relics and learned some small tricks." Of course, it was impossible for him to reveal the secret of the Gates of the Netherworld.
Hildebrand smiled and did not continue to ask. Instead, he continued to get close to Tynon. Not long later, an attendant walked over and whispered a few words into Hildebrand's ear.
Hildebrand said, "I'll go accompany Xingjian. Feel free to do as you please. All the expenses here today will be on me."
Tynon waved his hand to indicate that he understood. His eyes were already fixated on the contents of the auction. The auction had officially begun.
The auctioneer revealed the first auction item. It was an almost transparent stone that was emitting hints of electricity.
The auctioneer introduced, "This geomagnetic essence is an exquisite item obtained from the Sand Country. It comes from the Sand Country's Geocentric Shrine and is a top-grade item that can raise one's body's toughness. The starting bid is 10,000 gold, and each increment must not be less than 1,000 gold. "
Tynon looked greedily at the geomagnetic essence on the stage. He had just reached level 29 not long ago and was lacking such an item that could strengthen one's foundations. Therefore, he said to the attendant, "50,000 gold."
Therefore, the attendant raised his placard outside.
"50,000 gold!" The auctioneer shouted in an exaggerated manner, "The guest in room number 3 has made a bid of 50,000 gold. Are there any other bidders? This is the geomagnetic essence that has been nurtured by the Sand Country's Geocentric Shrine for ten thousand years! It can raise one's body's toughness unrivalled. "
...
In room number 2, Hoppes, who was a disciple of the Divine level expert Astral Ancestor, was dressed in a sapphire blue long robe. He appeared very elegant, and there was a gorgeously dressed young lady seated next to him.
The young lady's name was Miley, and she was the daughter of the Great Western Region's Regional Chief. After hearing Tynon's bid, she smiled and said, "The guy in room number 3 seems to be in a hurry."
Hoppes broke into a brilliant smile. "It's true that most Conferred Knights need geomagnetic essence. I'll make a bid of 60,000 gold. "
Over the past few months, Hoppes had gradually walked out from Fang Xingjian's shadow and no longer treated Fang Xingjian as his target. In fact, after removing Fang Xingjian, he was considered a top-notch character amongst the younger generation.
The Regional Chief's daughter, Miley, was a rare beauty and was also the Great Western Region's Regional Chief's most doted daughter.
Although Hoppes was a disciple of a Divine level expert, he was not the only young person in the Myriad Stars Palace. He also needed external help, and as the second most powerful person in the entire Great Western Region after the Governor, the Great Western Region's Regional Chief was clearly a very good candidate.
Therefore, during this period of time, Hoppes relied on his handsome appearance and outstanding martial arts talent to get along well with Miley.
The auctioneer shouted, "60,000 gold! Room number 2 has made a bid of 20,000 gold. Are there any other bidders?"
...
Hildebrand returned to his room number 9, looked at the bids outside, and smiled. "Both Hoppes and Tynon are very capable." As the organizer of the auction, he was naturally happy about this.
"Congratulations, Elder Brother. You're going to earn a huge sum of money again," Peter said. "But that Fang Xingjian is really arrogant. He keeps putting on a cold expression, as if everyone owes him a huge debt."
Thinking of how Fang Xingjian had shown no reaction when he had gone to express his goodwill earlier, Hildebrand frowned slightly and said, "Right now, he's in the limelight. It's better not to offend him head-on. "Have you found out anything about the volcano?"
Peter said, "We didn't manage to find any witnesses. When the volcano erupted, the villagers had all evacuated. "Elder Brother, do you really doubt that Fang Xingjian can suppress a volcano single-handedly?"
"It's best to be careful. Fang Xingjian can complete the cultivation of over 1,000 sets of sword techniques within a few days. Do you think that he's only as strong as he appears to be?" Hildebrand said, "We still have to think of a way to find out more." Thinking of this, he turned his gaze toward room number 3, where Tynon was.
