From the beginning of the auction, Mo Jian had watched everything from the hidden chamber at the top.
To be frank, he was quite shocked by the massive wealth of the top clans and leaders.
To crown it all, he never expected the Golden Core Expert to be this crazy. Although he was filthy rich, he could not compare to these experts.
Suddenly, he heard the system chi in his mind.
[Congratulations! You complete a hidden mission.]
[A milestone: You’ve spread your influence throughout the Southern Region, and you’ve broken the record. Earning more than ten million middle grade spirit stones.]
[Reward: Runic Engineering: Volu 1]
His heart skipped a beat upon seeing the reward. Is this what I thought it was?
Excitent surged through his body, making his face brighten with joy.
His hand trembled with happiness, overwheld by the thrill of his sudden fortune and the adrenaline rushing through his veins.
Runic Engineering: Volu 1 cost one million influence points in the system. This had been his goal, and he had been saving his Influence Points for it.
But who would have expected this auction to bring him such a nice surprise.
With trembling hands, he clicked the reward to read the details.
[Runic Engineering: Volu 1]
[Description: A practical to for artifact refiners and chanist blending runes and modern engineering principles.]
After a minute, he cald down the surging adrenaline and took a deep breath.
’With this, I can finally create all the inventions I have in mind.’ He grinned foolishly.
Compared to the massive wealth he earned from the auction, this was much better.
Knock!
Suddenly, a light knock ca from the door, jolting him back to the land of the living. He adjusted his dress and responded.
"Co in."
Creak!
The door was pushed open and Sun Na entered. She paid her respect with a deep bow. "Young Master, the Frost Moon Sect Master is here."
"Let her in and don’t allow anyone to disturb us."
"Yes, Young Master."
She departed and the Frost Moon Sect Master walked in. Her sharp gaze scanned the room, but her expression remained icy.
A kid?! How could their young master be so young? She thought but did not let the expression show on her face.
While the Frost Moon Sect Master was checking Mo Jian out, Mo Jian was also doing the sa.
’What a cold beauty?’ He thought but maintained his calm.
He did not stand from his seat and said calmly,
"Sect Master, please take a seat." He pointed at the couch opposite him.
Taking her seat, the temperature inside the room fell and a deadly frost appeared in the atmosphere.
Mo Jian felt the sudden drop in temperature but continued to smile while looking at the Sect Master.
’Oh! You want to prove yourself. Ah! This is going to be interesting.’ She grinned inwardly and increased her aura.
She only wanted to prove her strength slightly and retract her aura, but Mo Jian’s calm and indifferent look raised her competitive spirit.
For a Golden Core Expert, how could a re Core Refining warrior challenge them? Thus, she wanted to teach him a small lesson.
Compared to her, Mo Jian wanted to know how far she was willing to go. To him, this was nothing but a little fun.
Mo Jian had his calm and indifferent expression while the Frost Moon Sect Master wore her signature look: cold like ice.
Inside the room, frost appeared on everything, and Mo Jian was also covered with it.
’What is this? Why didn’t he give up?’ she thought with confusion. There was no enmity between them, why would he go to such lengths for sothing as childish as this?
Just as she prepared to retract her aura, she noticed the temperature inside the room was rising at a visible speed.
’What! What is happening?’ Her face contorted into confusion.
This was the first ti sothing like this had ever happened. She glared at Mo Jian, ’Although I don’t know what trick you’re playing, but now I’m going to show the power of frost.’
Instantly, the temperature dropped sharply for a mont, only for it to rise up once again. This ti, it was more domineering.
’Ah! This can’t be happening!’ She scread in her mind, unable to hide her cold façade, her face marred with shock.
Before her, all the frost in the atmosphere lted away.
She looked at Mo Jian, trying to see if he was doing anything to counter her frost aura, only to see him staring at her with a provoking smile.
"Are you provoking ?" she asked, her voice deadly chilling.
"What if I am? What can you do?" Mo Jian taunted.
"Good. It has been many decades since a re Core Refining warrior dared to talk back to in such a manner."
Suddenly, her aura erupted, and powerful pressure fell on Mo Jian.
"Huh!" A gasp escaped from his lips and without hesitating—
He tapped his feet twice, sending his spiritual energy into the hidden runes.
The hidden runes ca to life and locked on their target. Seated arrogantly on her seat, she looked at Mo Jian.
"Do you still want to play this ga?" she smirked.
"W-Why... not." The pressure was crushing but Mo Jian endured.
’T-This courage... Is this recklessness or blind courage? Perhaps, he has sothing to depend on.’
’Hmm? What could that be?’
Before she could finish her thought, she lost control of her Qi and the pressure on Mo Jian vanished into thin air.
"What happened?" she exclaid. She tried to channel her Qi only to discover she couldn’t sense her Qi any longer.
"What did you do?" she asked, staring at Mo Jian with shock and fear.
If she were to lose her Qi, she would lose her power and beco a re mortal. How could she accept that?
Mo Jian did not respond imdiately. A smirk played on his lips as he released his aura.
"Ah!"
The Frost Moon Sect Master fell from the couch. She groaned, pain evident on her face. Her previous coldness was long gone.
Under the heavy pressure, she was trembling, and she was quickly covered in perspiration.
This was the first ti she was humiliated like this. She was ashad and she couldn’t raise her head.
She, the fearless Frost Moon Sect Master, was forced to kneel. Even though she felt ashad, fear crept into her.
She knew the power behind the Thousand Wealth Chamber was powerful, but she never expected them to be this powerful.
She was reduced to nothing without her knowing. How fearso was that?
"This is getting boring..." Mo Jian shook his head and retracted his pressure.
"Sect Master, enough of this childish ga. Let’s talk business."
His ssage had been passed; he did not believe she would be so stupid again to test his limit.
