System Of Endless Cultivation

The chubby middle-aged man was the manager of this auction house. His name was Herman Bolt.

As Herman entered the room, he greeted Lin Ning'er with a broad smile and cheerful laughter. "Miss Lin, it's good to see you again!"

Lin Ning'er smiled and replied politely, "It's good to see you too, Manager Herman."

Herman sat down comfortably in front of them. Then he gave Eryx a casual look before taking a sip of tea. Following that, he got straight to business, saying, "So, what pills have you brought for us today?"

It was clear these two have done business several times before. Eryx watched silently as Lin Ning'er placed five pill bottles on the table without wasting time. Each bottle looked neat and sealed.

Then she introduced the pills inside one by one.

"There are ten Core Formation Pills, ten Heavenly Gold Pills, ten Spirit Enhancement Pills, ten Golden Elixir Pills, and ten Bone Mending Pills in each of them. You can take a look."

Manager Herman's eyes sparkled with interest as Lin Ning'er introduced these pills. He carefully picked up the bottles and took out a few pills to inspect them. The more he looked at them, the more excited his expression became. It seems he was very satisfied with these pills.

After examining all the pills, Herman nodded in satisfaction and said with a wide grin: "I must say, these are very high-quality pills. Especially the Heavenly Gold Pills and Bone Mending Pills. They are quite rare and will definitely catch the attention of some big customers."

He chuckled again and promised, "Don't worry, Miss Lin. We will auction these pills for a very good price. You can expect a great return."

Lin Ning'er nodded calmly. She had faith in Manager Herman's ability to get the best price for her pills.

Then, as if he thought of something, Herman looked up and asked, "Would you like to attend the auction? The items this time are good treasures. Some of them might attract your attention as well."

However, Lin Ning'er shook her head and replied, "No, I have more important matters to attend to. I'll leave the auction to you."

Herman didn't insist. He nodded, stood up, and said, "Very well. I'll take care of everything for you. You just need to come back in a few hours and get your money."

Lin Ning'er smiled lightly and stood up as well. After a quick goodbye, she left the room, followed closely by Eryx.

Throughout their conversation, neither Lin Ning'er introduced Eryx nor Herman asked for his identity. He only played the role of a sidekick, which made him laugh bitterly.

As they exited the auction house, Lin Ning'er explained, "Although the White Gold Auction House is one the best auction houses here, this city itself is not big enough to attract big customers. Due to this reason, the auction house normally doesn't auction rare and important items here. Participating in such an auction will be nothing but a waste of our time. While the auction is still going on, I can take you around the city. Let's go!"

A smile appeared on Eryx's face. He understood that if not for him, Lin Ning'er wouldn't have minded participating in the auction.

Anyway, it was good to explore and get to know about this city more. After all, he believed he would be coming here often.

As they walked around, Lin Ning'er introduced three major forces. They were Red Dragon Tower, Blue Dragon Tower, and Green Dragon Tower. According to Lin Ning'er, these three forces could be found in almost every city throughout the empire. She also said that she had heard the rumor that these forces existed even outside the empire, but she was not sure because she had never left the empire.

Lin Ning'er told Eryx that Red Dragon Tower is famous for its strength and dominance in combat. They have countless powerful warriors as their members. Red Dragon Tower can even be said to be a force housing an army so big that it can easily dominate any empire it wants. They also sell high-grade weapons and combat techniques, making them one of the most feared forces in the empire. No one dares to offend them, not even the Royal Family.

Blue Dragon Tower, on the other hand, is well-known for their deep knowledge of cultivation techniques and ancient texts. It is said that they have gathered almost all the cultivation methods and texts from ancient times till now, even those that were said to be lost. Of course, to access those cultivation methods and text, one must first join the Blue Dragon Tower. There are strict requirements, and each requirement must be fulfilled. Even so, accessing those ancient cultivation methods consumes contribution points that can only be obtained after doing something for the tower.

Lastly, Lin Ning'er mentioned that Green Dragon Tower focuses on information and assassination. They control a vast network of spies and informants throughout the empire, gathering intelligence on nearly everything that happens. If someone wants information about something, Green Dragon Tower is the place to go. They are mysterious and tend to keep a low profile, but their influence is immense. Also, they can assassinate anyone as long as someone can pay the price.

Although Eryx used to live in the Devlin Family and heard of these forces, he had no information about them.

Only now did he realize how fearsome these three forces actually are.

After walking around the city for more than two hours, Lin Ning'er led Eryx to a large restaurant. The restaurant had two floors, and from the outside, it looked quite fancy.

As they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by a waiter who guided them upstairs to the second floor. Lin Ning'er picked a table right by the window, which also gave them a clear view of the bustling streets below.

After they sat down, they chose a few dishes from the menu and ordered the food.

The waiter quickly brought a variety of delicious dishes to their table. There were plates of steaming hot rice, savory meat cooked with herbs, vegetables stir-fried to perfection, and bowls of rich soup. The instant the food was served, their aroma filled the air, making Eryx's stomach growl.

Both Eryx and Lin Ning'er looked at each other before they started eating. Just looking at their face, anyone could say they were enjoying the flavorful meal.

As they were eating, Eryx's ears twitched as he picked up a conversation from a nearby table. Two men were talking in low voices, but Eryx could hear them clearly.

"Do you know? Someone found a broken map of Medicine Valley."

"What? A map of Medicine Valley? Even if it's broken, that person must have struck it rich!"

"Exactly! Medicine Valley was said to be a powerful force thousands of years ago before the sky shattered. But one day, it vanished without any warning. It has been lost for so long, but now someone has discovered a piece of a map."

"What happened to the map?"

"I heard that the person who found it put the map up for auction!"

"What? Auction? Doesn't it mean whoever can win the bid will have a chance to restore the map? If the map is successfully restored, they could visit the site of Medicine Valley and obtain countless treasures and resources!"

"That's what I was thinking. Maybe the person who found the map lacks strength. Having no choice, he chose to auction the map. This way, he could at least earn a large sum of Spirit Stones."

When Eryx heard their conversation, his interest was piqued. He didn't know anything about Medicine Valley, but from what he overheard, it seemed like a very strong force from thousands of years ago.

As for how he concluded this force used to be a strong force, it is because a map leading to it, even if it was broken, could hold great value, to the point where a person has to put the map for auction due to lack of strength. Obviously, that broken piece of map must be of great value.

Eryx could not help but wonder what kind of force this Medicine Valley used to be.

It was not just Eryx, even Lin Ning'er heard their conversation. Her eyes lit up. She thought of something and turned to Eryx, saying, "I have something to do. Wait for me here. I'll come back soon!"

Saying that, she left in a hurry even before Eryx could say anything.

Eryx looked at her disappearing figure, his mouth open as he was about to say something. Shaking his head, he focused on the food in front of him and started eating.

Anyway, the map had nothing to do with him.

As for why Lin Ning'er left in a hurry, Eryx could guess a thing or two, but he could not be sure since he was left behind.

Now that Lin Ning'er had gone; while eating, Eryx took out all the failed pills and converted them into Energy Points.

The energy points in his arsenal increased from 480 to 1140, increasing by a total of 660 points.
