Wanhua Building.

"Sir, are you also here to purchase entrance posts for the auction?"

Seeing Young Master Jiang entering with Lv Yi, a maid immediately approached.

The maid wore a yellow dress, possessing the grace of youth, with an enchanting figure and outstanding demeanor.

"Auction, what auction?" Young Master Jiang asked in surprise.

Upon hearing this, the maid quickly understood and replied, "Young master, in three days, it will be the summer auction of this year's Wanhua Building. These days, guests have been coming to purchase posts for the auction, so I thought you might also be here to buy an entrance post."

Upon hearing this, Young Master Jiang became intrigued.

He was currently lacking resources.

He was extremely lacking in resources.

At the Third Grade level, he needed many Source Energy Points to improve his skill in order to grasp more keys to unlock the door of Heaven and Earth Spirit Mechanism.

Additionally, with each Blood Exchange, a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures was required to replenish the body's consumption.

Thus, this level required the consumption of a tremendous amount of resources.

Recently, he had scavenged a batch of treasures in Water Moon Sword Palace, among which many items were not useful to him.

Previously, he had considered finding a chamber of commerce to sell them and exchange for monetary resources.

After all, his current consumption, even with Wang Qintan's financial capability, couldn't help much.

The thousand gold only could relieve urgent needs.

More consumption in the future had to rely on himself.

After becoming a Grandmaster, the demand for martial arts resources grew even stronger.

As his skill improved, the Break Limit brought greater enhancement but also increased demand.

Even with the current situation, he dared only to say he could protect himself after becoming a Grandmaster.

Once the situation changes, the wheel of history, the vortex of the era, he didn't know to what extent it would evolve.

Cross Immortal Gate now already has two Second Grade Grandmasters, and the sect forces in Guangning Prefecture represented by Cross Immortal Gate swelled instantly.

Now, it's consecutive years of drought.

Once the autumn harvest lacks grain, the drought breaks out.

The entire Guangning Prefecture might instantly explode like a spark falling into a pot of boiling oil.

Abnormal weather, consecutive droughts, and the previous Three Elements Daoist Temple incident he personally experienced in Dongling City.

All made him see an invisible hand guiding the change of the worldly situation.

If the situation worsens, it will surely lead to cataclysmic turmoil.

Being in today's Great Xia, witnessing various situations and seeing many records of uprisings and unrest in documents.

He had to stay alert in peace and planned ahead.

Now, all he could do was to improve himself as much as possible.

The stronger he becomes before the overwhelming trend arrives, the more composed he can face it, and he can protect those around him.

Whether it's his older brother, sister-in-law's family, Wang Jin, Lin Qingyi, Wang Qintan, Shen Congyun...

Those who have been kind to him, he didn't want them to encounter misfortune.

The event of Aunt Sun's death last year still constantly reminded him.

"How much is the auction post?" Young Master Jiang asked.

Anticipating the question, the maid smiled warmly and replied, "Young master, ten gold!"

Her first mention of the auction entrance post was clearly aimed to sell it.

For them, each post sold meant a one percent commission.

One percent is a substantial sum for ordinary people.

Ten gold equals ten thousand taels of silver.

One percent of ten thousand taels of silver equals a commission of one hundred taels of silver.

"That's really expensive!" Young Master Jiang commented begrudgingly upon hearing her.

"Yes, indeed!" The maid nodded: "But if the young master's wealth is substantial, it will be a worthwhile experience! Many rare things appear only at the auction!"

"If there are items, can they be consigned for auction?" Young Master Jiang asked.

"Of course, they can!" The maid smiled warmly and added, "However, the items must be of significant value, requiring the services of our building's appraisers, and a purchase of the auction entrance post first!"

"Does the young master still need it?" the maid asked again.

"One please!" Young Master Jiang said.

"Okay, young master!" The maid immediately beamed and nodded repeatedly, continuing, "Please follow me."

Soon after.

In the VIP room.

Young Master Jiang sipped some wine, quietly awaiting the maid's return.

A moment later.

The VIP room's door was pushed open.

The maid led the way, followed by a gray-haired elder, with no third person accompanying them.

"Elder Qian, this is Young Master Jiang!" The maid introduced upon entering the VIP room.

"Young Master Jiang, my surname is Qian, and I'm the treasure appraiser here. I heard you have items to consign for auction. Could you let me inspect them first? If the quality is satisfactory, I can set a suitable reserve price!" the gray-haired elder said.

Hearing this, Young Master Jiang nodded.

He waved his hand.

A flash of white light passed, and several items appeared on the tea table.

Seeing this scene, the elder's eyes flashed with surprise.

As one of the appraisers at Wanhua Building, he was well-versed and aware of what kind of technique Young Master Jiang employed.

Clearly, it was a magical artifact capable of holding Nasumi within a mustard seed.

He paid greater heed to Young Master Jiang's earlier words.

Then his gaze fell on several items on the table.

A piece of Blood Jade, two books, two treasure swords, and a piece of white bone.

At the first sight of the Blood Jade, his expression immediately turned serious.

Beside him, the maid took out a silver post and handed it to Young Master Jiang.

"Young Master Jiang, please keep it safe! With this post, you may come to the sixth floor of Wanhua Building to attend the auction, which will officially start at 13:30 pm three days later."
