The Amplification Jewelry placed on the table emitted a faint glow, complementing a pile of sparkling Azure Jade, exuding an irresistible allure.
Bu felt a bit dizzy; he knew these items were not easy to obtain. Once he reached out, it would mean entangling himself with this Rich Father and Daughter for the long haul. However, adhering to the twisted logic that one should seize opportunities when they arise, he thought that when it was time to act, he shouldn't hold back.
"Since you've asked me to take them, why should I be polite? It's not like accepting these items means I have to get involved with this wealthy lady. Besides, I've changed my appearance now; even if I encounter this Rich Father and Daughter again, they won't recognize me."
With this thought in mind, Bu quickly let go of his hesitation and cheerfully extended his hand, stuffing the items into his Storage Bracelet under the pained gaze of Fu Dafu.
"Does Nephew like these items?" Seeing Bu gather everything from the table, Fu Dafu cast a somewhat resentful glance at his daughter before turning to Bu with a sigh.
"Hehe, I like them very much. Gifts from my uncle are like a feather; I wouldn't refuse them, especially such generous gifts." Having taken advantage of their generosity, Bu's words flowed sweetly as he beamed with joy.
"That's good to hear." Fu Dafu twitched his mouth slightly and continued, "If you have time in the future, Nephew, do come visit your uncle more often. You and Die are of similar ages; it would be wonderful for you two to spend time together. I mean, Die doesn't have many playmates, and having you around would help alleviate her boredom."
"Mm." Before Bu could respond, Fudie shyly agreed.
"Damn it." Seeing this father-daughter duo start their nonsensical chatter again, Bu couldn't help but feel exasperated.
"This is a pair of high-grade Transmitter, capable of transmitting sound over a distance of ten thousand miles. Nephew, this Transmitter is quite valuable; here, take it." Fu Dafu, recalling something, took out a pair of crescent-shaped orange Transmitter from his Storage Ring.
Upon hearing "high-grade Transmitter", Bu completely ignored the rest of the conversation and instinctively reached out to take them. To his surprise, just as Fu Dafu handed one over, he pulled one back and only gave him one.
"Huh?" Receiving one Transmitter, Bu was puzzled by Fu Dafu's actions.
"Hehe, Nephew, you're being too greedy. You don't need both; I'll give you one and one for Die as well. This way, it will be convenient for us to stay in touch. Most importantly, you young people surely have plenty of topics to discuss; keeping in contact is a good thing." With a smile in his eyes, Fu Dafu handed the other Transmitter to the delighted Fudie.
"Brother Bu, we can keep in touch often from now on." Fudie waved the Transmitter, her arm's flesh jiggling in waves as Bu felt a chill run down his spine.
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?" Bu felt helpless; having gained so much yet carrying an additional burden made him feel both excited and bitter.
"Well, actually this Wealthy Family lady isn't too bad aside from being a bit lecherous and needy. If I have time in the future, chatting with her could be considered a small repayment." After putting away the Transmitter, Bu silently made up his mind.
After bidding farewell to the Rich Father and Daughter, under Fudie's reluctant gaze filled with affection, Bu slipped away quickly as if he had oil on his feet. He feared that if he stayed even a moment longer, the wealthy fat man would find some excuse to meddle further.
Exiting the inn's door, Bu headed straight towards the direction of Holy Light Academy. Since he needed to pass through a market along the way, he didn't bother hiding anything too much.
As he passed by the Blue Castle Auction House, he paused for a moment, hesitated, and then decided to enter, arriving at the reception area of the auction house.
"Hello, welcome to Blue Castle. How may I assist you today?" Just as he stepped toward the reception desk, a sweet voice greeted him. He looked up to see a beautiful receptionist approaching with a bright smile.
The woman had fair skin and her hair was elegantly styled in an updo. She had a tall figure, with her chest and waist held straight, dressed in a striking red outfit that perfectly showcased her curvy silhouette. Her long neck, combined with her graceful posture and sweet smile, added an air of nobility to her presence.
"She asked what service I need?" Seeing the glimmer in the receptionist's eyes, he felt a stir in his heart and inwardly cursed her as a seductress while unabashedly taking in her appearance.
"I need to arrange for an item to be auctioned!" He casually glanced at the crowd in the hall and smiled at the receptionist.
"Alright, please follow me." The receptionist smiled gently and led the way, with him following closely behind until they reached a counter.
The Blue Castle Auction House not only accepts consignments from clients but also offers a user-friendly service known as "pre-auction requests." This means that clients can specify what items they are looking for, and the auction house staff will record their requests. When an item that matches their criteria comes up for auction, they will be notified immediately via a transmitter. Of course, whether they can secure the item depends on their wealth.
"Sister Mina, this guest needs to arrange for an item to be auctioned." At the counter, the receptionist handed him over to another short-haired woman before smiling and turning away.
He took a moment to assess the short-haired woman at the counter; she was also quite attractive, with two dimples that made her smile appear charming.
"May I ask what item you would like to arrange for auction? I will record it for you." The short-haired woman wore a professional yet warm smile, revealing four pearly white teeth as she spoke.
He nodded slightly and replied softly, "I need two legendary-level spears or above."
"Okay. Do you have any specific requirements?" The short-haired woman noted down his request on an alchemical display device at the counter and continued to inquire.
"No," he shook his head.
"Understood. I have recorded your request for the items. Since these are valuable items rated three stars or above, there will be a fee of 200,000 Silver Kall as our service charge. Are you sure you would like to proceed with this transaction?" The short-haired woman spoke clearly while smiling at him.
"Proceed." He took out a Purple Gold Card from his storage bracelet and handed it over, responding succinctly.
Ten minutes later, he exited the reception area of the Blue Castle Auction House under the courteous send-off of the initial receptionist.
Two long guns were set for auction, which was a move made out of necessity. His Taiyuan Spear had been completely destroyed by Bernie's Soul-vanishing Fan Destruction, leaving him without a suitable weapon. The upcoming Holy Light Trial in a few days would not be easy.
Although he was nearly unmatched among the new generation of young students with his current strength, he knew that even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit; he did not want to suffer an unexpected defeat.
Currently, he was focusing on the Crescent Moon Execution, and it was essential to have a spear as a weapon. Moreover, his Avatar, Crimson Lotus, also required a spear. He couldn't rely on a sword every time to execute the Ethereal Thirteen Swords and engage in harassment tactics.
After all, Ethereal Thirteen Swords belonged to Forbidden Techniques. While it was incredibly lethal, the first seven swords were significantly less powerful compared to Crescent Moon Execution when fighting against skilled opponents. Using the Eighth Sword through the Thirteenth Sword would consume an alarming amount of life potential, harming both the enemy and himself, which was not what he desired.
"If there’s no good news from the auction house in two days, I’ll have to check some large weapon specialty stores, like Thorned Heart. I wonder if that lady from Thorned Heart I met at Blue Castle Auction House has gotten married yet."
His thoughts jumped quickly from one topic to another, and he soon found himself at the main entrance of Holy Light Academy.
"Stop right there! Before the Holy Light Trial begins, outsiders are strictly prohibited from entering within one hundred feet of Holy Light Academy. Those who violate this will bear the consequences!"
Suddenly, a loud shout came from a distance, resonating with authority like thunder.
He paused and looked up to see a team dressed in purple approaching from thirty feet away.
