Chapter 51: Long Island Auction

  The efficiency of the dragon tribe is really unspeakable, and the next morning, Xianya, who was jumping around, stood in front of me. As soon as she saw me, she rushed over and cried in my arms, and even I, a poor Taoist who had been practicing for hundreds of years, was moved to tears. After a while, she finally stopped crying.

  "Silly girl, how can you be so silly! Your small body can't block that kind of military heavy crossbow at all, it will only get us all killed! Don't be so silly next time!" I advised her to say.

  "No!" Xianya said with a resolute expression: "Even if I die, I'll be ahead of you!"

  "Stupid girl!" I quickly hid her head in my arms, not letting her see the tears falling from the corners of my eyes. My heart was both moved and relieved. Hurriedly changing the subject, I said: "Now that you have the help of 'Dragon Spirit Grass', you will definitely become the 13th Law God in the history of the mainland, you must work hard!"

  "Ah..." Xianya replied with a sob: "It's all because of you, brother, being good to me. I'm just an orphan who begged for food, and it was you who gave me everything I have now. No matter what I become in the future, everything I have will be yours, brother!"

  "Alright! Good, don't mention that, do you have any bad feelings now?"

  "No! I feel extremely good, as if there is infinite power in my body." Xianya said excitedly: "Not only has my strength increased a lot, but my magic power also seems to be endless."

  "That's for sure, to know that this 'Dragon Spirit Grass' is the manifestation of a wise dragon's life force! I'll go back and teach you some advanced magic spells, I reckon your current magical power is at least mid-level!"

  "But now I have a few spells in my mind that I've never learned before, but I just know them, and I feel like I can cast them! What's going on?"

  "You may have inherited the wisdom of the giant dragon!" The poor Taoist hesitated and said: "Don't rush, let's ask the great elder Sika Weite first!"

  I live in a small mountain cave, there's nothing inside, if it weren't for the quilt that can be used as a bed, I wouldn't know how to spend the night. It seems that after returning, some outdoor items need to be prepared in the space ring. After going out, I found the guardian dragon at the door and explained my intention. They took me to find the great elder Skawite.

  The cave where the Great Elder Silkawheat lived was particularly huge and very deep, dry and odorless. His bed was even more sinful than Kristina's, with at least a few hundred tons of gold and a large number of magical items that shone brightly without exception, dazzling me to the point where I could hardly open my eyes. I was extremely surprised by his tired appearance.

  "This is just a small trick for you, isn't it?" The poor Taoist asked: "How does it seem like you've fought with the gods?"

  "The problem is not with casting the spell, but going to the Dragon's Grave to get the 'Dragon Spirit Grass' is no easy task! The dead spirits' resentment there is extremely strong, I have to constantly maintain a magical shield to avoid getting hurt, and I still need to find three of them. Heaven knows, if I wasn't lucky, I might not have made it out alive! I hope you didn't make me go through all that trouble for nothing, or else... Hehe, I won't let you off the hook!"

  "Heh heh! Trouble you! I said with a smile: "You will definitely not be disappointed!"

  "What brings you here? I need some rest!"

  "How about Xianya's situation and her future development? Can you give some advice?"

  Sikawiete narrowed his eyes and didn't speak, only using his big paws to continuously stroke the treasure pile back and forth.

  The poor Taoist cursed in his heart, "You suns, these crawling worms, how greedy are you? No wonder there are so many treasures! There's no way out, when a man is under another's roof, how can he not bow his head? He took out the magic sword and threw it onto his treasure pile.

  "She currently has magical powers comparable to those of a high-level wizard among humans, and her strength is absolutely no less than that of an ordinary bronze warrior. She just doesn't have any aura. She also inherited some of the dragon's most skilled spells before its death, but only she knows what they are."

  "What about her development afterwards?"

  Skittles became even more profound.

  Helpless, I can only serve with sugar-coated cannonballs! Watching the tens of thousands of dollars worth of magic swords being smashed away, I felt a pang in my heart, thinking to myself, you bunch of crawling insects, just wait and see how I'll make it back!

  "She should major in Light Magic later on, because White Dragon excels at magic, and she might even be able to cast 14th-level forbidden spells who knows. As for martial skills? I think it's best not to give up, just practice a bit, after all casting large-scale magic is also very physically exhausting!" Skawhite said before falling asleep directly.

  What a refreshingly obvious move to get rid of someone!

  After leaving his cave, I smiled at Xianya and said: "Let's go find Kristina, I have an idea, want to communicate with her!"

  "Brother, are you going to cheat her out of money?"

  "What's wrong with me?" The poor Taoist said with a bitter tone

  "But you just smiled so slyly!"

  Damn it! Depressing! I'm really a failure at being human!

  When I saw Christina she was sleeping in an empty cave. I shouted: "Whose gold coins are these?"

  "Mine!" Kristina woke up immediately and found it was me, scolding: "Despicable Long Wu, I'm exhausted from not sleeping for so long, and you're still teasing me?"

  "I came to make a fortune with you, since you're tired, I won't bother you!"

  "Not tired, I'm not tired at all, quickly tell me how to get rich?"

  "Do you have similar market gatherings?"

  "No!"

  "Alright! If I sell 'Water Spirit Dan', will anyone buy it?"

  "I'll buy it!"

  "What I want is an auction, you go find buyers, ask them to bid, the highest bidder wins, and you get a 10% commission."

  "Five stars!"

  "Two successes!"

  "Fourfold!"

  "Three Success!"

  "Deal!"

  Christina's enthusiasm has paid off, and by noon, more than 200 giant dragons from the water system have gathered in the square.

  "Greetings, noble dragons! Today, I've borrowed this esteemed platform to auction off the legendary 'Water Spirit Dan'. This elixir is said to have been left behind by the gods and can increase your dragon clan's accumulated strength by approximately 200 years. If you don't believe me, please ask Miss Kriss Tina, she's a user of this elixir, and you can even try it before paying!"

  "I can attest that it's really effective, you all know how fast my strength has increased!" Christina said.

  "If it doesn't work, then you don't have to pay for it, right?" said an elder of the Water Dragon clan.

  "Yes!"

  "Are there side effects? Don't be a crazy medicine!"

  "My demonic pet has been with me for many years, and I haven't seen anything wrong with it! Moreover, you can feel the pure water-element magic inside, which is definitely not something that a crazy potion could have!"

  "Really? Alright! If it really works, I can guarantee you'll get the money!" The elder said: "How many gold coins should we start with?"

  "No gold coins!" I can already imagine the consequences of so many gold coins being transported to the mainland, it's just inflation, I don't want another economic crisis or something. "I want magical equipment, whoever gives me more and better ones, I'll trade with them! And also, I only have this one, if you want it, hurry up!"

  After a fierce bidding, I finally chose a set of armor consisting of a helmet, chest plate, cloak, gloves, boots and battle skirt, as well as the Frost Sword. Judging from the patterns and emblems on it, this was worn by a famous sword god in history, and was the masterpiece of a dwarf master after decades of hard work. The entire set is made of Frost Iron, which is mined from the top of Snow Mountain, with a quantity much less than gold and a price several times that of gold. The helmet, chest plate and sword are all embedded with eighth-level water-elemental magic cores, while the others are seventh-level, accompanied by Frost Shield, Frost Armor, Ice Cone Technique and Frost Field, among other powerful ice-elemental spells. Even for dwarves, it's rare to see a set of armor like this made in just over a hundred years, and I estimate that selling it would easily fetch several million.

  In the following days, I sold earth, fire and other spiritual pills, each one. They were all more profitable than the first time, after all, I was afraid of being cheated the first time! In a few days, I got dozens of weapons and armor, as well as dozens of magical accessories. The dragon clan really is a wealthy fool!
