Standing on the cracked soil at the bottom of the water, Jiang Chuan carefully sensed the exact location of Mei Yan.

It's located underground right in the center of the reservoir.

Looking around, I made sure no one was there.

Jiang Chuan raised his right hand, and flames instantly ignited.

Then he suddenly swung it towards the center of the reservoir.

"BOOM!"

With a loud bang, the cracked bottom of the reservoir was blasted open, revealing a large, charred hole.

Immediately afterwards, the surging heat wave seemed to break free of its shackles, transforming into a pillar of flame that shot straight into the sky!

The breathtaking scene could be seen even from a kilometer or two away, and the townspeople came out of their homes to watch the pillar of flames from afar.

As a spiritual seed born from earth fire, Rose Flame is gentle in nature and usually does not refuse the subjugation and refinement of fire-type mages.

Just like now.

Jiang Chuan had barely stretched out his hand when the pillar of flame shrank into a ball of rose-red flame, which swayed and flew into his palm.

You can clearly feel the joy in Mei Yan's spirituality.

It seems to really like itself?

Compared to the spirit seeds she created, Mei Yan's spirituality was almost the same, but it just felt more real.

Perhaps this is the true feeling of something that takes millions of years of natural forging to create.

Jiang Chuan subconsciously pinched Mei Yan. His fingers passed through the flames, and instead of burning hot, they felt a warm sensation.

Jiang Chuan added Mei Yan to the composite column and left the reservoir.

On the way back to the guesthouse, we saw many residents.

"Young man, do you know what happened at the reservoir?" an old man asked, stopping Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan wanted to say he didn't know, but looking at the old man's withered and sallow face, he blurted out, "There are sorcerers there investigating the cause of the drought in Xishui Town. The drought should end soon."

"Are you telling the truth? That's wonderful! The crops in the fields will finally stop dying from drought, great, great!" The old man beamed with joy upon hearing this.

Jiang Chuan smiled and then returned to the inn.

I haven't bought my high-speed train ticket to Shanghai yet, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to set off.

That evening, Jiang Chuan was meditating.

The concentration of water elements in the surrounding area has increased significantly, and cold, humid air is blowing in from outside the window.

Jiang Chuan opened his eyes and looked out the dark window.

It is going to rain.

Just as I was thinking this, a bolt of lightning struck down on the distant horizon.

A few seconds later, thunder roared.

A light rain began to fall.

This long-awaited heavy rain has nourished the parched land, and it is believed that before long, Xishui Town will return to its former state of being a lush and humid water town in southern China.

..............................

..............................

Magic City.

My first day in Shanghai was marked by dark clouds and torrential rain.

Jiang Chuan is clearly a fire mage, yet he always seems to encounter a downpour wherever he goes.

Who could possibly hold back like that?

Jiang Chuan reluctantly withdrew his gaze from the dark clouds and hailed a taxi to a hotel next to Mingzhu Academy.

You might ask why not go directly to Mingzhu Academy.

Answer: Today is the weekend; those applying for special admissions must come on a weekday.

Having finally arrived in this international metropolis of Shanghai, Jiang Chuan waited for the rain to stop and immediately left the hotel to experience the differences between this magical metropolis and the technological world.

As I wandered around, I came to a building.

It bears the five large characters "Jizhen Auction House".

Jiang Chuan then used the remaining four servant-level essences to create fire-type spirit seeds.

It's perfect for putting it up for auction and making money.

"Hello, how do I submit my items for auction?" Jiang Chuan asked the auction house staff.

The staff member was initially surprised by Jiang Chuan's young face, but then gave a professional smile: "Sir, if you want to take your items to the auction house, you need to register first. Our appraisers will then assess the value of your items. As long as they pass the appraiser's evaluation, your items can appear at the auction."

"How much commission do you charge?" Jiang Chuan nodded and continued to ask.

"The commission rate is determined based on the value of the item. What item would you like to auction?"

"A spirit seed," Jiang Chuan said.

"Ah!" the waiter exclaimed.

Items worth tens of millions like these are usually actively sought out by auction houses, I never expected to encounter one in the lobby myself.

She quickly replied, "If it's a spirit seed, the commission shouldn't exceed 2%, but the exact percentage will depend on the appraiser's valuation."

Jiang Chuan then registered for the auction under the guidance of the staff.

The appraiser was a middle-aged monk in his forties. Upon seeing Jiang Chuan for the first time, he invited him to sit down and have a detailed discussion.

Jiang Chuan took out the stone box containing the fire-type spirit seed.

The temperature in the room instantly rose several degrees.

Jiang Chuan didn't feel hot at all, but the appraiser opposite him was sweating profusely, yet he still leaned closer to appraise the item.

After a long while, the appraiser raised his face, which was covered in sweat:

"Young man, I estimate the value of your fire-type spirit seed at twenty million. Auction prices usually fluctuate by one to two million. If you choose to have it auctioned through our auction house, our commission is only 1% of the final bid. What do you think?"

This spirit seed only provides a twofold bonus; it's a very common fire-type spirit seed, and a valuation of 20 million is quite reasonable.

A 1% commission is considered a low price.

Jiang Chuan nodded in agreement.

The fire-type spirit seed was scheduled to be auctioned at the next auction, and Jiang Chuan arrived at the venue early to wait.

Buyers entered the market one after another.

The auction has begun.

First up are the opening lots.

The blade is ice-crystal white, and the hilt is a deep blue.

This is a spirit-level demon-slaying tool called Ice Blade Slash. When activated, it can instantly kill servant-level demons, severely injure warrior-level demons, and also has ice magic effects.

Jiang Chuan had the idea of ​​bidding on the Ice Blade Slash.

The advantages of the Demon-Slaying Tool are extremely obvious. It is hidden in the soul and can be quickly activated with just a thought. In the early and mid-level stages, it has very impressive attack power.

In a duel between mages, the side with the demon-slaying tools has the upper hand and is more likely to win by surprise.

While Jiang Chuan hesitated, Ice Blade Slash's bid had already reached 30 million.

Jiang Chuan immediately dismissed the idea.

With that money, you might as well go and buy a discarded demon-slaying tool.

Ultimately, the Ice Blade was acquired for 37 million.

Then came the second item up for auction.

The emcee presented an antique-style red wooden box, carved with gold dragons and silver phoenixes, which looked quite elegant.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the auctioneer introduced:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item for auction is this ring in my hand."

The auctioneer took a gray-black ring from the wooden box and continued his introduction:

"This ring is called the Summoning Ring. It was crafted using lost spatial and summoning techniques. It can convert any type of magical energy into summoning magical energy. After wearing the Summoning Ring, you can use basic summoning magic without awakening your summoning ability."

"However, due to the ring's level, the summoned beast's level cannot exceed the servant level. This summoning ring has extremely high research value, and the starting bid is ten million..."
