I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

"Ten...ten sets?!"

"Are you kidding me! He's saying he wants ten sets of this level of rare equipment?!"

"Does he think these are cabbages from a field? That he can have as many as he wants?"

After a brief silence, the auction hall erupted into chaos.

Doubt, shock, incomprehension, fervor... all sorts of emotions intertwined, and the clamor almost lifted the roof off.

The appearance of a rare set is enough to cause a sensation.

But now, Lin Hai is saying that they can produce ten sets!

This is completely beyond everyone's comprehension!

"Silence! Please be quiet!" Lin Hai raised his gavel again, banged it on the table, and shouted, "I, Lin Hai, guarantee with the reputation of Qianjin Pavilion that every word I just said is absolutely true!"

His voice was full of confidence, and the noisy venue gradually quieted down.

But everyone's eyes were still filled with doubt.

"This is impossible!" Iron Blood Banner was the first to stand up, pointing at Lin Hai on the stage and loudly questioning, "Everyone here knows how low the drop rate of rare equipment blueprints is, let alone a complete set of three! How could you possibly have gotten them?!"

His words echoed the sentiments of everyone.

Yes, that's the crux of the matter.

Equipment can be farmed, but blueprints, especially set blueprints, are extremely rare and hard to come by.

"Could it be..." Feng Yun Jiutian sat in the corner, his eyes flickering, a guess suddenly popping into his head, "They didn't get the blueprints, but found a dungeon that can reliably produce this set of equipment?"

The moment the thought crossed his mind, his heart skipped a beat.

Then, he suddenly remembered the system announcement that had resounded throughout District 21 a few days ago!

[Server-wide Announcement: Congratulations to the five-person team "Seeing Through the Fog" for successfully clearing the level 30 hidden dungeon "The Lost Foundry"!]

Hidden dungeon!

The Lost Foundry!

Soul Forger Set!

In an instant, all the clues connected in Feng Yun Jiu Tian's mind!

That's it!

This [Soulforger Set] is practically a specialty of that hidden dungeon!

Having figured this out, Feng Yun Jiutian looked down at the third floor, his eyes becoming greedy and burning.

Not only do they possess the entrance and strategy guide to the hidden dungeons, but they also monopolize the top-tier loot from those dungeons!

The value of this secret is beyond measure in gold coins!

Not only Fengyun Jiutian, but many guild leaders and elite players present also thought of this.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall changed.

If before they thought Li Wu was just a powerful and incredibly lucky solo player,

So now, in their eyes, Li Wu has become a big shot who controls top-level resources.

"It seems some clever people have already guessed the answer." Lin Hai chuckled inwardly as he observed the changing expressions on the faces of the crowd below the stage.

That's exactly the effect he wanted.

He wanted everyone to know that Qianjin Pavilion didn't sell equipment, but resources! Top-tier resources that only they could control!

"Everyone, I think you all already know the answer," Lin Hai said loudly, no longer keeping them in suspense. "As for the source of this set, I'm sorry, I cannot reveal it. I can only tell you that our Qianjin Pavilion has the capability and strength to reliably provide you with this [Soul Forger Set]!"

"Now, let's begin the auction!"

"The priority purchase rights for ten sets of the [Soulforger Set] will be auctioned off in three groups!"

"Group 1, sets 1 through 4, four spots in total! To be auctioned as a package! Starting bid: twenty gold coins! Minimum bid increment: five gold coins!"

As soon as Lin Hai finished speaking, the Iron Blood Battle Flag raised its sign without hesitation.

"Forty gold coins!"

He practically yelled it out.

In the auction just now, he lost all face and was so overshadowed by the sword pointing at the rose that he couldn't lift his head.

Now, he absolutely cannot miss this opportunity!

This is not just about equipment, but also about proving the strength of his Iron Blood Alliance to everyone!

"Heh, Ironblood Guild Master is still so impatient." Fengyun Jiutian's sinister voice rang out again, and he also raised his sign, "Sixty gold coins."

"Fengyun Jiutian, you're here again, you bastard?" Iron Blood Banner glared at him.

"Such a good thing, everyone should have a share." Feng Yun Jiu Tian said with a forced smile.

"One hundred gold coins!" Iron Blood Banner added forty gold coins directly, clearly trying to crush the opponent with price.

"One hundred and ten gold coins," Feng Yun Jiu Tian followed at a leisurely pace.

"One hundred and fifty gold coins!"

"One hundred and sixty gold coins."

Prices soared as the two super guilds engaged in a fierce bidding war.

The small and medium-sized guilds and NPC merchants present all became spectators.

They could only watch helplessly as the number of gold coins continued to soar, without even having the right to participate.

This is the foundation of a super guild!

On the third-floor observation deck, Steel Shield and his group were completely dumbfounded.

"They're insane...they've all gone mad..." the Beast Friend muttered to himself. "A rare set of armor, that should be worth at least dozens of gold coins, right? How much money would that add up to?"

"That's the value of a monopoly." Hua Zitong's eyes were calm. She had experienced even more outrageous scenes and was not surprised by this. "When a top-tier resource is controlled by one person, the price is determined by that person."

Li Wu didn't speak, but just quietly watched the scene downstairs.

He knew that from this day forward, Qianjin Pavilion had finally established a firm foothold in Ironforge.

And he finally had the leverage to engage in equal dialogue with these super guilds.

The bidding downstairs has become extremely fierce.

When the price was raised to two hundred gold coins, Fengyun Jiutian's expression finally changed.

This price is already close to the limit of the funds he can use.

He glanced at the Iron Blood Banner with a gloomy face. The other party still had bloodshot eyes and looked determined to win. In the end, he chose to give up.

It's not worth spending so much money for just four spots.

"Two hundred gold coins! The Iron Blood Alliance has offered two hundred gold coins! Is there anyone offering a higher bid?" Lin Hai's voice trembled slightly.

This price has far exceeded his expectations!

The audience was silent.

This time, Sword Pointing at Rose did not make a move.

She just sat there quietly.

when!

The auction gavel slammed down!

"Sold! Congratulations to [Ironblood Alliance] for successfully winning the priority purchase right for the first four sets of [Soulforger Set]!"

Lin Hai's voice signaled the end of the first auction.

Upon hearing the result, Iron Blood Banner breathed a long sigh of relief, and a triumphant smile finally appeared on his face.

Although the price was high, he finally regained his dignity!

He glanced defiantly at the sword pointing at the rose, only to find that the other party wasn't even looking at him.

This made him extremely frustrated.

"Next, we'll auction the second set!" Lin Hai's voice rang out again, "Sets five through seven, three spots in total! Starting bid: fifteen gold coins!"

"Sixty-five gold coins!"

This time, Fengyun Jiutian was the first to act, immediately adding forty gold coins.

Clearly, he wanted to use this method to tell everyone that he would take the remaining spots again.

However, just when he thought victory was in his grasp...

An unexpected force raised its sign.

"Eighty gold coins."

The bidder was a middle-aged NPC wearing a mage's robe with an Ironforge Mage Tower badge pinned to his chest.

It's an NPC!

Even NPCs have joined in!

Feng Yun Jiutian's face instantly darkened.
