But soon, his gaze was drawn to the items on the auction stage.

A transparent, sealed box was moved onto the stage. Inside the box was a layer of water and a small blue water slime.

The water slime wriggled inside the sealed box, its eyes wide open, curiously observing its surroundings.

Compared to other slimes encountered in the wild, this slime has very bright and lively eyes, and it is not afraid at all even in this environment.

"We found this water slime by chance on the beach. Unlike ordinary slimes, it has the intelligence of a three- or four-year-old child. After our special training, it can understand simple commands and will not attack people indiscriminately. Whether as a pet or as a tool, it is a great choice!"

The auctioneer gave several instructions, such as spinning, turning left and right, blowing bubbles, and spraying water. The water slime was able to complete these tasks accurately, and its cute appearance drew cheers from many women.

"Starting bid: 600,000 Mora!"

It has to be said that slimes are incredibly cute monsters; even Jiang Bai, after seeing one, really wanted to get one and raise it.

After calculating the Mora in his pocket, plus the Mora he might get from selling the immortal scriptures, he immediately offered a price: "100 million Mora!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"One million two hundred and thirty thousand!"

"One million four hundred thousand!" Jiang Bai continued to raise the price.

"Why are you buying this slime?" Hu Tao asked curiously, seeing that Jiang Bai really wanted to buy it.

"Master, don't you think it's cute?"

He had always wanted a little creature like the Little Ghost that could follow him around. This water slime was a bit ordinary and couldn't fly, but it was cute!

It can understand commands, water the flowers, and even serve as a water source in the desert. What more could you ask for?

"It's alright, but not as cute as my Youyou."

Upon hearing Hu Tao's words, the little ghost emerged from her body and proudly put its hands on its hips.

Looking at the smug little guy, Jiang Bai raised his middle finger, "Wait until I get my hands on this slime, then I'll parade it around in front of you every day, and see how cocky you get!"

"Hehehe~" Little Ghost made a face.

"One million eight hundred thousand Mora!"

"One million eight hundred thousand Mora once! One million eight hundred thousand Mora twice! One million eight hundred thousand Mora three times! Congratulations to the buyer in Box 6!"

The auctioneer brought down the gavel, and the water slime was officially acquired by Jiang Bai.

Watching Jiang Bai sign the order form brought by the waiter, Hu Tao said sarcastically, "Wow, 1.8 million just like that, so generous today~"

"Oh dear, Mora is meant to be spent!"

Jiang Bai waved his hand, acting as if this little bit of Mora was nothing to him, putting on an air of nonchalance.

Although it's a bit heartbreaking, his immortal scriptures should be worth tens of millions, so he won't be short of Mora.

Hu Tao rolled her eyes.

If you're so capable, then when you ask her for your wages, you should be able to put on this nonchalant attitude.

"The next item up for auction is a major one! This is the first Mora forged by the Emperor thousands of years ago!"

The auctioneer lifted the red cloth on the platform, revealing a Mora with an ancient aura lying quietly on it.

Upon hearing the auctioneer's words, a murmur rippled through the hall.

"How can you prove that this is the first Mora created by the Emperor?"

"That's right, I could also say that the Mora in my hand is the first Mora created by the Emperor!"

"Don't be hasty, we can certainly prove that this is the first Mora that the Emperor forged! According to ancient records, the Mora patterns that the Emperor initially created were different from the current Mora patterns, and they did not have different face values!"

The auctioneer spread out the ancient book, and the patterns on it were exactly the same as those on the Mora.

"Because the first Mora was forged by the Emperor using divine power, even after thousands of years, this Mora still contains some of the Emperor's divine power. Carrying it can ward off evil and bring good fortune, and even allow one to see the scene of Mora being forged in dreams..."

The auctioneer held up the Mora in his hand, speaking with absolute certainty!

Zhongli, who was sitting by the window drinking tea, raised an eyebrow. How come he didn't know that the first Mora he created was so amazing?

He remembered that he had created a lot of Mora to facilitate trade, and then simply spent it all.

Upon hearing that there was residual divine power, D'Artagnan immediately became interested.

"Starting bid: five million Mora!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he immediately shouted, "Ten million Mora!"

This directly doubled the starting price.

In a private room, Ningguang gently twirled the pipe in her hand, a smile of interest playing on her lips.

"Twenty million Mora."

Seeing the Mora multiply several times in such a short time, Jiang Bai gasped.

Is this the power of the first Mora created by the Rock Lord? It's remarkably similar to the lyre played by Barbatos!

"If I heard correctly, it must be Miss Ningguang who made the bid." Xingqiu gently waved his fan and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

"Yes, I hope Miss Ningguang can get it and not let that guy from the Fatui get his hands on it."

Although Jiang Bai disliked Tadalia, he had no intention of raising the price. The price of this item was already beyond his means, and if he raised the price and no one else made an offer, he would be out of luck.

Chapter 242 That's really extravagant!

"Thirty million Mora!" D'Artagnan's voice rang out again, filled with an air of unwavering determination.

“Fifty million.” Ningguang’s voice remained calm.

"They're really rich. They're really ruthless in raising prices. They don't even blink an eye at all, even with so many Mora..." Jiang Bai clicked his tongue in amazement.

“That’s just how rich people are!” Hu Tao shrugged.

Even for her, it would be difficult to come up with so much all at once!

“That’s really extravagant…” D’Artagnan clicked his tongue, then continued bidding, “Fifty-five million Mora!”

“I didn’t know you liked collecting such antiques…” Zhongli looked up at him, her expression inquisitive.

“The world’s first Mora, this is a very significant item!” D'Artagnan chuckled.

He calculated his finances; the price was almost at his savings limit, and he wasn't sure if he could get reimbursed...

Once you get your hands on it, take it to the lab, study it, and then you can give it to a rich person.

The world's first Mora, that rich guy should like something like that... so getting reimbursed shouldn't be too difficult...

Looking at the auctioneer below, who was excited by the high price, Ningguang took a drag of her cigarette and said, "Fifty-six million Mora."

“Fifty-seven million!” D'Artagnan continued.

Compared to his initial doubling of the bid, his offer was much more conservative.

Ningguang remained silent, looking in the direction of Dadalia with a mysterious smile.

"This envoy from the Winter Solstice is indeed coveting the Emperor's power..."

"Sir, shall we continue to raise the price?" Baiwen asked softly.

"No, he's almost reached his limit." Ningguang exhaled a puff of smoke that resembled orchids and mist, in a pleasant mood. "A net profit of fifty million Mora, not bad."

"Fifty-seven million Mora once! Fifty-seven million Mora twice! Fifty-seven million Mora three times! Congratulations to the guests in Box 12!"

After a series of high prices, the auction reached its climax.

"Do you really think this first Mora is worth that much?" Jiang Bai clicked his tongue in amazement as he saw a Mora selling for such a high price.

"I estimated at the time that it would be at most ten million Mora..." Xingqiu was also surprised.

After all, it's rare to see such a large increase in price.

"I guess it's because the auctioneer mentioned it contains the divine power of the Emperor," Hu Tao said, looking at Xing Qiu curiously. "Does it really contain the Emperor's divine power?"

"This auction item was sent by Miss Ningguang." Xingqiu spread his hands, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Hu Tao understood; this was a trap set by Ning Guang. All that divine power was just a gimmick.

"Tsk tsk tsk, poor thing~" Jiang Bai gloated.

It's a pity we won't see that guy's expression when he got the item and found there was no divine power inside...

"The next item up for auction is a set of immortal magic manuals found in Jueyun. The manuals include methods for subduing demons and monsters, methods for creating mechanisms and talismans, and methods for exorcising evil spirits and warding off impurities... All of them were written by the immortals themselves and have been verified to be genuine. Each book will be auctioned separately, with a starting bid of one million Mora!"

Upon seeing the filming, Jiang Bai quickly sat up straight.

Whether you can get rich overnight depends on this wave!

The Feiyun Chamber of Commerce's auction had been in preparation for a long time, and some of the auction items had already been announced. Although some of the major families in Liyue had collected these immortal classics, most of the items in Liyue were from merchants with less established backgrounds.

In order to enhance their own strength and expand their collection, they were more than willing to buy these immortal scriptures.

Besides these, many people seeking immortality and enlightenment come specifically for this, and as soon as the items are displayed, prices rise and fall.

"One million Mora!"

"One million three hundred thousand!"

Two million!

Three million!

Seeing these people vying to offer their bids, Jiang Bai felt relieved.

He has three books up for auction. Even if each book sells for three million Mora, all three would be ten million Mora. After deducting the Mora he spent on the slime, he would still have over seven million Mora in his account.

Just thinking about all those Mora made his mouth water!

Ultimately, the first book sold for 6.35 million, and the subsequent books also yielded substantial profits.

The thought of the golden Mora rushing towards him made Jiang Bai beam with joy.

Seeing his naive and unsophisticated demeanor, Hu Tao was truly speechless.

"Stop drooling."

Jiang Bai swallowed his saliva with a slurp and wiped his mouth.

Hu Tao turned her face away in disgust, she simply couldn't bear to look at her.

Jiang Bai wasn't interested in the next few items. He sat in the private box, cracking sunflower seeds and listening to the auctioneer explain the origins and functions of the items.

He saw top-quality night-blooming jasmine dug from deep mines, a pair of precious old stones that looked like unicorns, a peerless sword that could cut through iron like mud, a pearl the size of a head found in the belly of a deep-sea monster, and even saw the auction of mining rights. He certainly broadened his horizons.

"The next item up for auction is a rare artifact, which looks like an arm guard. It was brought back from the snowy mountains by an adventurer and is said to have been frozen in a thick layer of ice."

"This adventurer consulted experts, but the experts couldn't figure it out either."

"No one can say for sure what material this arm armor is made of, but it is incredibly hard, impervious to high temperatures and blades or axes. It is also quite lightweight, and the patterns carved on it are very intricate, possibly originating from the ancient kingdom of Fendnir..."

Since the book "Snow Country" became a hit, many adventurers have gone to the snowy mountains to search for treasure, and this arm armor was found because of this treasure hunting craze.

Jiang Bai's attention was drawn to the auctioneer's narration, and once he saw the items on the tray, his gaze was fixed on them.

A sense of familiarity welled up from the bottom of his heart, as if this very thing had accompanied him through countless years.

“Bai Yuan…” he murmured softly.

"Starting bid: three million Mora!"

Seeing that he was staring at the thing, Hu Tao asked curiously, "Have you seen this before?"

Jiang Bai nodded. "It feels very familiar. It must be something I had before I lost my memory."

"Then why would it appear in a snow-capped mountain?"

"I might have flowed into Liyue from an underground river in the snowy mountains..."

"I see..." Hu Tao said thoughtfully.

After the auctioneer announced the price, no one made a bid for a long time.

This thing is called an arm guard, but it doesn't quite look like one. It's more like a long tube about the length of an arm. If the material were good, it might be able to be melted down into something else, but unfortunately, this thing can't be melted down.

As for relics from ancient kingdoms, very few people are interested in them.

Fendnir was a short-lived and ancient nation, leaving very little trace in history. If it weren't for Jiang Bai and his group publishing that book, almost no one would know about this ancient country.

Seeing that no one was bidding, the auctioneer became a little anxious and continued to introduce the origin of the item.
