Sirius's bid silenced the entire auction hall.
"Is he insane? He's spending 5,000 Gold to buy a single entry? "The players in the auction hall were stunned by Sirius's generosity.
Five thousand Gold!
One could purchase a relatively good piece of Epic Equipment with that much money …
A Melancholy Smile also grew excited. She had never thought that the Holy City's entry slots would sell for such a high price. Although she wouldn't get a single cent from the auction, the Ling YI Society would earn more money. With this, she would have enough money to develop the Guild, construct Stone Forest Town, and purchase a large amount of Diamond Wood.
However, this time, no power competed with Sirius. Following which, A Melancholy Smile began the third auction.
"Five thousand Gold!" Sirius shouted for the third time.
"Has the Battle Wolves Guild lost its mind?" Nine Dragons Emperor frowned. "Does it really think we won't compete with them?"
This time, the other superpowers had no intention of holding back.
"Five thousand one hundred Gold!"
"Five thousand three hundred Gold!"
"Five thousand five hundred Gold!"
Feng Qianyu, Nine Dragons Emperor, and the others all bid high prices. In the end, however, Sirius won the bid for 6,500 Gold.
Once the three entry slots were gone, the various superpowers grew anxious. They all began to bid frantically.
In the end, of the remaining seven entry slots, the cheapest went for 6,100 Gold, while the final slot went for 7,000 Gold. The players in the auction hall were stunned.
The various first-rate Guilds' eyes were bloodshot.
"Ten entry slots have sold for 62400 Gold. If the Sky Burial Society finds out about this, I wonder if Singular Burial will go crazy?" Galaxy Past smiled bitterly as he watched the first phase of the Candlelight Auction come to an end. "It won't be long before the Ling YI Society becomes Starmoon Kingdom's overlord. It seems that the Star Alliance will have to shift its focus to other kingdoms."
A Guild's strength wasn't just reflected in the number of experts and elites it had. Wealth was also a part of its strength.
Although the Ling YI Society was publicly acknowledged as the number one Guild in the Starmoon Kingdom, the Guild's overall elite strength was still inferior to that of a first-rate Guild. The Guild only had a few powerful war tools and peak experts. In terms of management and intimidation, the Ling YI Society was far inferior. It was especially true for the areas the Guild covered.
Hence, whether it was the Sky Burial Society or other second-rate Guilds, even the Star Alliance had considered splitting the Starmoon Kingdom after Blackwater's withdrawal and replacing the Ling YI Society as Starmoon's overlord.
Meanwhile, due to this reason, the Dark Guilds were fearless. From time to time, they would kill members of the Ling YI Society and players heading to Stone Forest Town.
The reason was that Ling YI Society was understaffed. They had always been on the path of elites.
However, things were different now. With such a large sum of money, it wouldn't be long before the Guild's elite member count reached the standard of a first-rate Guild. At that time, the Guild would no longer have any weaknesses.
If other Guilds wanted to oppose the Ling YI Society in the Starmoon Kingdom, they'd have to think twice. After all, with so much money, there was no need to worry about a war of attrition.
After the first phase of the auction ended, the second phase began. Nobody complained about the processing fee Ling Yi charged. Instead, they began to take out their treasures to exchange for the items they had collected.
As the processing fee was 10 Magic Crystals or 3 Gold Coins, none of the players had much to offer. However, every item they offered was worth at least 10 Gold, and the quality of the items they offered was guaranteed. Hence, they were able to easily find the items they wanted. Even the various major powers on the second floor managed to find plenty of items they needed.
This situation made everyone realize that this auction was of a very high standard. It could definitely compete with the auctions held by superpowers.
Meanwhile, Shifeng continuously browsed through the exchange catalog, hoping to find Long Xue Grass.
Many major powers had come to participate in this auction. There were also plenty of independent experts from several neighboring countries. Compared to Candlelight, the chances of purchasing Long Xue Grass with Coins were much higher.
After all, to obtain Long Xue Grass, one needed both luck and strength. However, players with sufficient strength wouldn't necessarily sell Long Xue Grass. They would rather use this super-rare herb to exchange for items that could improve their strength. Doing so would be beneficial to their development in the future.
"What?! This is luck!" As Shifeng browsed through the catalog, he suddenly discovered an item that he was very familiar with.
The Hero's Chapter!
Although it was only a tattered parchment and was useless to ordinary players, it was a treasure that the various large Guilds coveted.
Moreover, the Hero's Chapter wasn't limited to just one page. According to rumors, if one could collect the complete Hero's Chapter, it would be even more valuable than a Legendary item. In fact, even a single page was worth more than an Epic item.
In the past, some independent players had auctioned off the Hero's Chapter.
In the past, a single page had sold for 15,000 Gold.
Meanwhile, the Hero's Chapter had only one purpose: to recruit Heroes to defend a town or city. It was similar to how every NPC city had a Guardian NPC.
In the past, he had obtained a page and hired a Hero to defend Shadow's main city.
Shifeng had never imagined that he would see the Hero's Chapter again at the Candlelight Auction.
"The exchange items sure are ruthless." Shifeng was slightly astonished when he saw the other party's items.
A Level 45 top-tier Dark-Gold greatsword and Level 40 top-tier Dark-Gold plate armor gloves and shoes.
Currently, aside from Epic and Growth-type Weapons, Level 45 Dark-Gold Weapons were the best weapons available at this stage of the game. Moreover, as the various large Guilds' players had yet to reach Level 45, it was already difficult to obtain Level 45 weapons, not to mention top-tier Dark-Gold Weapons.
On the market, a top-tier Dark-Gold Weapon could easily sell for over 1,000 Gold.
Meanwhile, two pieces of Level 40 Dark-Gold Equipment could easily sell for over 400 Gold.
For a moment, Shifeng even wondered if the other party knew anything about the Hero's Chapter's value.
The Hero's Chapter's introduction was very simple. It was to hire a past Hero to defend a town or city. The Hero's Chapter was a Tier 3 Hero that was ten levels higher than the player.
Based on the description, the Chapter's Chapter was equivalent to a Tier 3 Summoning Scroll. Only, the Summoning Scroll did not have a time limit. However, the Summoning Scroll could only be used to defend a town or city. It could not be used to grind monsters or raid Dungeons. Hence, the Chapter's value was very limited. If it were a Tier 3 Summoning Scroll, it could fetch a higher price. After all, Tier 3 Summoning Scrolls could be used to deal with Bosses.
However, the Hero's Chapter's Tier 3 Summoning Scroll was amazing in that it could grow. The Hero's Chapter's introduction only stated the Hero's initial Attributes. Moreover, the Hero's growth was much easier than that of a Personal Guard's. The weakest Hero could reach Level 180 at Tier 4, while the more powerful ones could reach Level 200 at Tier 5. Hence, the Hero's auction price was so high.
"Forget it. Let's have A Melancholy Smile trade for the Hero." Shifeng immediately contacted A Melancholy Smile.
Following which, Shifeng found the Long Xue Grass. Similarly, the other party had offered a high price for a piece of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment. However, the price did not matter to Shifeng. After all, Ling Yi's Guild Warehouse had plenty of Level 45 Dark-Gold Equipment. She had obtained all of them from grinding for Strengthening Devices.
Time passed quickly, and the auction's second phase finally came to an end.
Although each player could only offer a small number of items, the number of items they could offer was very high. In the end, Shifeng had earned over 2,000 Gold and 150,000 Magic Crystals.
Only, despite earning quite a lot of Magic Crystals and borrowing from Feng Qianyu, they had only earned a few Magic Crystals.
Meanwhile, after the auction ended, news of the Candlelight Auction's results reached the ears of the various major powers.
"Damn it! How did this happen?!" Singular Burial, who was currently in the distant Star-Moon City, instantly aged considerably when he read the report. He had never imagined that the Candlelight Auction would be so successful. His Auction in Star-Moon City was a joke. The Ling YI Society had made a killing this time. This would be detrimental to the Sky Burial Society's future development. Following which, Singular Burial contacted Flame Blood. "Flame, how are things on your side?"
"Guild Leader, I've done my best to trick those small Guilds and adventurer teams. Although we've discovered some clues, Abandoned Wave is making good progress. I believe that it won't be long before the entire Starmoon Kingdom belongs to the Sky Burial Society," Flame Blood said excitedly.
"Tell Abandoned Wave that the Ling YI Society has already amassed a large sum of money. If he does not act quickly, the Ling YI Society will be even more difficult to deal with in the future," Singular Burial said in a serious tone. "Also, think of a way to speed up Abandoned Wave's progress. It doesn't matter even if we end up getting exposed."
"I understand." Flame Blood could not help his surprise when he heard Singular Burial's words. He had never thought that he would have to take the risk of being exposed just to hasten Abandoned Wave's progress. One could just imagine how rapidly the Ling Yi Society was developing.
Meanwhile, the Shifeng had also arrived at White River City's City Hall.
"Sir, how may I be of service?" the beautiful receptionist asked with a smile as she approached Shi Feng.
