Chapter 450: Chapter 370, Mansion Skill
The market for longswords seemed decidedly better.
No sooner had I finished speaking, bidding began below.
“I’ll take it for five thousand.”
“Five thousand one.”
The price climbed all the way to five thousand five hundred, then silence fell.
During the purchase, they were gauging the market price; even with fluctuations, they wouldn’t let the price become absurdly high.
Wu Heng thought for a moment, then spoke up, “I’ll offer five thousand six hundred.”
No one else spoke.
The seller came over, brought out the twenty longswords, and Wu Heng paid the corresponding price.
Next.
The trading event continued.
One by one, individuals took to the stage.
Some sold elixirs they had crafted, others offered real estate from various locales.

It seemed anything could be sold, and there were also those who went onstage to buy.
The trading event lasted for over an hour.
As Wu Heng had an attendant bring him a cup of fruit tea, another figure took to the stage.
“I have a special item here that can restore one’s senses; the side effect is an intense sensation of pain from being struck. I don’t want money, I want to trade for ingredients that can improve oneself or for special tools.”
The voice was a woman’s, low and serious.
“I have an antibody elixir here. With long-term use, it can strengthen the body’s resistance to various negative effects,” said someone.
To put it simply, it meant the body had gotten used to various toxins through repeated medication.
“No good!” the woman on the stage objected.
“I have blood crystal lotus roots, which can make your qi and blood more abundant.”
“That’s acceptable, but not of equal value to my special item,” the woman said again.
One after another, they spoke up, announcing their offers.
Wu Heng glanced at the figure on stage and said directly, “I have an elixir that can raise your level by one, or possibly even more.”
The woman looked at him, “What is this elixir called?”
“Strength Enhancement Elixir,” he replied.
“Never heard of it,” the woman spoke again.
The rest of the crowd also turned their heads to look his way.
One voiced their doubt, “Is there such an elixir?”
“Never heard of it.”
“In the Alchemy Association’s records of producible elixirs, there isn’t one like that.”
“Although this is a free trading event, one cannot just make false claims about products,” someone else reminded.
It seemed that no one there believed such an elixir existed.
Of course, what Wu Heng said was also a bit of a stretch.
The Corpse Core Elixir could improve attributes, not directly raise one’s level.
Wu Heng then said directly, “Two bottles of the elixir in exchange for your special item, and Snake Badge Consortium can certify it.”
Whoosh~!
The room instantly buzzed with noise.
The Consortium’s certification?
Is there really such an elixir?
If this elixir existed, wouldn’t it mean one could simply drink an elixir and become a hero?
The woman remained on stage, looking down at the crowd, then said, “Five bottles.”
Wu Heng shook his head, “The ingredients for the elixir are extremely precious and can’t be produced more than once in several years, so two bottles is the most I can give.”
The woman hesitated, then spoke up, “Okay, bring out the elixir, and we’ll go verify its effects over there.”
“I don’t have it on me,” he confessed.
“Are you playing me?” the woman’s voice turned stern.
“Truly, I don’t have it on me. We can complete the transaction at the Snake Badge Consortium when ready,” Wu Heng insisted.
She continued to stand there, brooding for a while, before eventually nodding in agreement, “Fine. Where are you located?”
“Yeko, Netalee City.”
“Alright. I’ll post a commission; you can deliver the elixir then. I hope you’re not deceiving me.”
“I’m quite busy as well.”
She looked at him once more, gathered her belongings, and stepped down from the wooden platform.
This item, it seems, was left untraded.
After a few more exchanges of goods,
Wu Heng also took the stage.
He proclaimed, “I’m looking for defensive items, items with Fog Skill effect, and various special items.”
“Friend, I have an item, a token that can release fog. I’ll sell it to you for eight hundred silver,” one person spoke up.
Another person quickly followed, saying, “The Fog Skill ring, 650 silver.”
“The effect of the ring isn’t as good as that of the token.”
“That token of yours has to be thrown out, it’s basically useless.”
Wu Heng, watching the two quarrelling, spoke up directly: “The Fog Skill ring, I’ll take it.”
The person holding the ring immediately showed a smile and said, “Your decision is the correct one.”
Handing over the ring, Wu Heng glanced at its attributes.
[Cloud Mist Ring]
(Description: A ring etched with the ‘Fog Skill’.)
No problem.
Wu Heng put the ring away and paid the corresponding amount of money directly.
With the first deal completed,
Gradually, more people came up to him.
“These won’t do, they’re worn boots.”
“This shield is good, how much?”
“The armor is also decent, how many sets do you have?”
The entire trade meet suddenly took on a different form.
Wu Heng stood in the middle, while others brought their goods to him, selling their items.
After some bargaining, Wu Heng also acquired quite a few things.
He splurged just this once.
Upon seeing that there wasn’t much of what he needed left, he jumped down from the podium.
He returned to his seat.
Meanwhile, the others continued to step up in turn, showcasing their wares.
Just now, he had purchased a total of five sets of defensive armor and three shields.
After returning to his seat, he continued to watch others sell their items.
…
Until late into the night.
Some staff members informed everyone that the auction was about to begin.
Only then did everyone end the trading session and head outside.
Wu Heng didn’t need to know the way; he followed the crowd to the auction hall.
The entire hall was even more spacious.
At the very front was an auction stage, and below were rows of chairs facing the stands.
When Wu Heng entered the room, the front was already filled with people.
He found a seat in the back with ‘Kerim’ and sat down directly.
Eventually, the whole hall filled up.
About half an hour after sitting down, a clear bell echoed in the hall, jolting everyone for a moment as they suddenly felt much more awake.
The noisy scene instantly quieted down, and countless gazes focused on the stage in front.
A slim man in a suit came out smiling and bowed slightly in the middle of the stage.
“Thank you, esteemed guests, for coming. The auction is about to begin. The rules are as usual; the highest bidder wins,” said the host succinctly, without even introducing himself.
After speaking, he gestured slightly, and a young woman came out carrying a tray.
On it was a document.
The man went straight to the point: “The five-year mining rights to Nistad Iron Mine, starting at 500 gold coins, with each bid increment not to be less than 10 gold.”
As soon as his words fell,
Bidding began below at once.
“510 gold.”
“520 gold!”
Wu Heng’s eyes widened as he watched the people eagerly bidding.
During the trading session earlier, he was wondering why it seemed like just a bunch of magical artifacts, hardly what one would expect from the top elites.
It felt more like a local merchants’ meeting.
But now, it seemed the main event was here.
The mining rights were eventually sold for 780 gold.
Next up were fishing grounds, pastures, iron mines, and gold mines, with prices ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of gold, all quite extravagant.
…
The man cleared his throat.
He continued, “Next, we have a top-tier skill book called ‘Modern Ken Mansion Skill.’ You can create a different dimensional residence to serve as your own home, even use it to store items or soldiers.”
Wu Heng, who had been slightly dozy, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
A different dimension space?
Could be used to store items, or even soldiers?
The man was still speaking, “While the spell is indeed powerful, the difficulty of learning it is just as great. Mages below level 18 might find it difficult to comprehend and learn the content. Everyone should bid cautiously.”
