Then came a new bid. "Forty-five million!"

Someone seemed unable to contain their impatience and wanted to eliminate some potential competitors by charging a high price.

Based on the prices at the time, those who dared to bid were undoubtedly there for the formations.

After all, those two porcelain pieces should only be worth 15 million at most.

The reasoning was simple. While porcelain like that used to be highly valued, its price has dropped dramatically in recent years.

The previous year, its value had dropped by more than half.

So, special personnel had already silently recorded everyone who bid in the auction venue's dark corners.

After the auction, those people would be taken care of.

Many people were surprised to learn that the intelligence appeared incorrect, and the number of bidders increased dramatically. More than a dozen people had appeared.

The price was quickly pushed up to an astonishing 66 million!

Raine made that bid, again at Chad's request.

So the place f

    "What do you mean by that? Am I not her master's ex-wife? I want to start a business; is it not appropriate for me to seek funding from her?" Chad did not expect Matilda to respond so confidently.What was more infuriating was that Raine nodded in agreement with Matilda's words.However, Chad did not care. He was so angry that he stood up to leave. However, Raine interrupted him, saying, "Master, whenever you have time, I'd like you to give me some guidance again."Before Chad could respond, Matilda jumped in and said, "Raine, remember my contact information. When you want to see your master, call me! I'll make sure he won't say no!""You!" Chad considered arguing but decided against it. After all, Grayson was waving at him.His base at the Hall of Herbs had been essentially destroyed, which was too great a loss for him.After Chad had left, Matilda whispered to Raine.Raine looked surprised when she heard it. She covered her mouth in surprise and hugged Matilda, exclaiming, "I'

    Chad observed the scene from a nearby corner, feeling a headache coming on.Matilda quickly won over all three of his seniors, and the five women departed together.Wait, where was Marilyn?Chad felt a sudden rush of panic. He looked closely and discovered that Marilyn was indeed missing.Chad called Marilyn, but her phone was turned off.Chad called Matilda and asked, "Where's Marilyn?""She's right behind..." Matilda thought Marilyn was nearby but turned around to find her gone. "Hey, where's Marilyn?"Chad was nervous. Could she have been kidnapped again, as happened at One Green Hills Manor the last time?"How did you lose sight of her?" he asked as he went to look for her.Matilda looked at her phone and muttered, "Why should I keep an eye on her? She's an adult; perhaps she's out chasing handsome men!"Then Matilda said, "I've booked a private room at the Serenity Hotel; should we go together?"Cynthia smiled and said, "Sure! It's rare to be able to relax like this, so

    Ding-ding!Beep-beep!Dong-dong!Various notification sounds echoed throughout Pine City.All Roggan members received a message consisting of one word. [Begin!]At that moment, those people converged from all directions near the main branch of the Pine City Bank.They had only one objective—they would swap them out before the two pieces of blue and white porcelain pieces officially entered the main branch.Accidents, traffic jams, and even large-scale brawls occurred along the convoy's prearranged route and the two alternative routes.However, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the parties involved in the accidents were all members of Roggan.The masterminds behind the traffic jams were also members of Roggan.Even the fierce-looking participants in the brawls appeared to be members of Roggan.Following its departure from Serenity Academy, the vehicle transporting auction items fell into Roggan's trap.The driver developed diarrhea unexpectedly, so he was replac

    "Why does everyone look like a thief to me? Am I just overly sensitive?""It's not only you. I have the same feeling. But why are there so many thieves in Pine City?Their intuition was spot on. Except for them and a few nearby residents, almost everyone was a Roggan member.Inside Serenity Academy, Chad and Grayson were inspecting each temporary interrogation room.An hour later, the special forces had not obtained any useful information and had to release the dozen or so people.Chad was not concerned because everything would eventually fall into Roggan's hands regardless of who won."Mr. Wiles, if there's nothing else, I'll take off now."Grayson chuckled as he recognized Chad's concern for Marilyn."Go ahead! Don't worry. Marilyn is an adult, and she'll be fine."However, Chad did not think so. When Marilyn's phone was turned off, he suspected she had been kidnapped again.As Chad was about to leave Serenity Academy, he noticed Horace standing at the entrance.When he sa

    "I'm sure you're surprised! Everyone who dies at my hands has the same expression," Jade said proudly.Only then did Chad realize the Jade outside the door lacked an aura. In other words, the Jade outside was simply a puppet.Chad immediately thought of a possibility and exclaimed, "You're a puppeteer!"Jade was surprised to learn that Chad knew about puppeteers."You're actually familiar with puppeteers. It appears you have some background. However, this is unfortunate. You're still going to die!" Jade said as both Jades launched simultaneous attacks on Chad.With limited space around him, Chad could only buy some time through dialogue, but it was still not enough to devise a plan.Despite her thin frame, Jade moved like a cat. In an instant, both the puppet and Jade slipped past Chad.Chad reacted quickly, retreating to the corner and crossing his arms to cover his vital points.At the same time, he used Mountain Fist techniques to channel his internal energy into his arms, a

    Roggan had never had such a feat in its more than a thousand-year history.Chad asked, "Archie, have you ever thought about it? The Gerd family would have thought about this as well. What will they do?"Reminded by Chad's words, Archibald became uneasy and asked, "Are you saying that the so-called items sent to the Pine City Bank are just a diversionary tactic?""I don't know. I just feel something is off."Chad said that because masters like Jade went to deal with him rather than snatch the porcelain.That move was extremely unusual.Unless she knew the Gerds were unlikely to be so bold as to send those items to Pine City Bank."I understand, Chief. Rest assured, if the porcelain items leave Pine City, Roggan members will also take them."After Archibald hung up, he immediately organized a team to look for new leads.Chad leaned against the wall, taking the card from his pocket and recalling what Horace had said.He felt as if Horace had not finished telling him everything.

    "I hit it off with him, and we got together soon after. It was a very happy time for us!"Linda tidied the items in the car while speaking, removing traces of her presence.That included the car's recorder.Terry tried desperately to hold on, but his heart had been stabbed. He knew he would not survive.At the time, he was struggling to breathe, knowing that if Linda pulled the knife out, he would immediately die.However, Linda did not do that. Instead, she continued to speak."I got pregnant about half a year after I started seeing him. But your family also came with a marriage proposal. I refused at the time, so I informed my family about the pregnancy. Then... and then..."Linda choked, and her hands stopped moving.She took a few deep breaths before proceeding."The next day, he died! It was a car accident, which I knew was planned by the family. Then our marriage was arranged, and we were married quickly." Linda then kissed Terry on the forehead."Eventually, Luke was b

    Marilyn was the most annoyed that night. First, she received word from the Zenith Organization that the porcelain pieces could not be found.Then, several messages arrived, revealing that the items escorted in the auction convoy were not the actual items.The Gerd family had played more than just the Zenith Organization. The Guild of Eternal Life had also been duped.Marilyn found the disappearance of Jade, a key figure in the Zenith Organization in Hacniane, most unacceptable.That failed operation had dealt a severe blow to Marilyn and the Zenith Organization.The most troubled by all of that was Cloud Gerd.The following day, Cloud received a call from the Pine City police.They reported receiving over a thousand alarm calls between last night and that morning, all of which reported thefts.The most bizarre aspect was that the stolen items were not valuable at all. Most were old clothes, shoes, and rusted bicycles abandoned in the neighborhood for years.So, for a day and a

    As Chad sat in meditation on Decaying Peaks, a faint, glowing white immortal crown slowly appeared behind his head. When that immortal crown manifested, a quake occurred everywhere outside Mount Causabour. The frequency of those tremors was extremely high, and everyone could clearly feel them. The vast area they covered included the entire Hacniane. It was as if some ancient seal in the vast sky had been triggered.Chad opened his eyes in shock amid his breakthrough, realizing that the impending heavenly punishment seemed to be directed at him and the millions of mystical beings beneath Mount Causabour.Suddenly, a thunderous voice erupted in the sky, as loud as a bolt of lightning:"Cut off the road to the heavens, seal the underworld; a red banner halts a million immortals, and a red star exterminates ghosts and demons!"Sever Yggdrasil, raise the grand array; a handful of Evergrow blocks the celestial river, and the vast multiverse bows to humanity!"By decree, this is a real

    Sir Holt anxiously looked up at the sky as the tribulation clouds suddenly began to churn violently.Crack! Crack! Crack!At that moment, the first bolt of heavenly punishment finally struck.However, that bolt of divine lightning fell upon the mirage of the Mystic Archive, where it disappeared without a trace. The entire Mount Causabour shook a few times, and everyone could feel a soothing sensation within the mountain.Anyone who felt this would experience a surge of confidence deep within, and any discomfort they felt in their bodies seemed to improve significantly.On Decaying Peaks, that sensation was even more pronounced, and more and more people began to manifest the immortal crown behind their heads. In just a few minutes, nearly everyone on Decaying Peaks, hundreds of people in total, had an immortal crown appear behind them.That included Flynn and Harvey, who were sitting on the outskirts of Decaying Peaks. They, too, had immortal crowns appear behind their heads.How

    Sir Holt and Zayan looked up at the sky with expressionless faces, though their hearts were in turmoil. Within the rolling clouds, faint traces of multicolored light shimmered.As time passed, the colorful lights appeared more frequently, as if gradually consuming the clouds."Such intense ascension light—there must be tens of thousands ascending!""There are probably more. The latest statistics show that 264,777 people have entered Mount Causabour!""Over 260,000? How did so many people get here?"Zayan looked at Sir Holt in shock, and Sir Holt turned his gaze toward the winding mountain road leading into the area."There are still many more people outside trying to get in, but the place is already so crowded that they can't fit."Zayan looked with concern toward the entrance to the mountain. "Won't those stuck on the road cause a disturbance?""They won't!" Sir Holt said with certainty. "Unless they're fools, they've probably already started meditating where they are. Even if

    Among the 250,000 people, quite a few were not actually autistic patients. After sleeping for two full days, Chad woke up and realized that possibility. He carefully considered the potential issues that might arise during the process and decided to issue an announcement."The treatment will begin shortly. Non-autistic patients are advised to leave the Mount Causabour area to avoid unnecessary complications."That announcement was broadcast three times through loudspeakers positioned throughout Mount Causabour. Finally, the loudspeaker voice declared, "The treatment will officially begin in one hour!"At the same time, Chad made his way to the Decaying Peaks, the summit of Mount Causabour, where an over-century-old pavilion stood.Entering the pavilion, Chad sat down in a meditative position. Soon, he noticed a dense crowd gathering around the pavilion, all sitting in meditation poses around him.As Chad glanced over those people, he recognized several familiar faces. The people ar

    Mount Causabour Medical Center, built halfway up Mount Causabour, was a sizable palace-style complex with three courtyards. The center was constructed along the mountain's slope, extending all the way to the base of the Decaying Peaks. Flynn and Harvey were placed in the innermost courtyard, suggesting that their grandfather, Fenton Cooper, likely knew some inside information but had not shared it with his grandsons.On that day, the Hacniane Cabinet issued several announcements. First, they created separate legislation for ability users and cultivators to regulate their powers. Second, they planned to designate special zones in each city for ability users and Mystics, separating them from ordinary people. Lastly, they urgently introduced the Sixteen Temporary Rules for Ability Users and Mystic Practitioners to regulate their behavior.Those announcements seemed like they were aimed at restricting ability users, but in reality, they were meant to reassure ordinary people, ensurin

    A massive leap in the realm could bring unimaginable fortune to the dragon vein, potentially altering Hacniane's fate.That was also Chad's grand gift to the two elders, using the sudden surge in the dragon vein's power to help Hacniane avoid the impending catastrophe triggered by the nuclear explosion of the firmament.Earlier that day, through Chad's Clairvoyant Eye, he saw Kennington shrouded in a faint gray-black mist. Chad did not know what it was but felt it resembled Evergrow, yet not quite the same.However, Chad was certain that accidents would surely happen if ordinary people were exposed to it in large quantities. As a Mystic, he could already feel its effects on his body.At that moment, Sir Holt got into the car, looking at Chad with a solemn expression. "Kid, give me the bottom line!"After careful consideration, Chad laid out his thoughts. Upon hearing them, Sir Holt began to tremble. According to Chad, he would need to mobilize at least 100,000 troops to ensure the

    Having a Mystic Archive and unlocking a Mystic Archive were two different matters. Only a handful of people were recorded to have a Mystic Archive throughout history. There were only two earliest verifiable individuals with documented works still in existence.The first was Hugo Gerant, a renowned physician from an ancient empire, a practitioner of Mystic Therapeutics, and an alchemist. His surviving medical works include The Hundred Letters, Gerant's Emergency Treatments, and the famous Embracing Simplicity.After his death, several notable physicians throughout history have inadvertently inherited his Mystic Archive, but none have fully inherited it. It was said that Mystics knew the method to obtain Gerant's Mystic Archive a thousand years ago, but that knowledge had since been lost.The second individual is Damian Lotin, a figure from another ancient dynasty. He left behind many works, including one titled The Whisper of the Blue Plant.Aside from them, other people who possess

    Chad gave them a cold smile. "Extract the immortal bone to cure the illness.""No! Absolutely not! I won't allow it!""Me neither. There's no way we can let that happen!"The entire room erupted into panic. Some even tried to attack Chad, but they were quickly subdued.Chad looked at them and said, "Then tell me the truth.""I'll speak! I failed my tribulation and fell from the celestial realm. I used to have nine crowns, but now I'm down to five...""And me! I also fell from the celestial realm after failing my tribulation. Now I only have three crowns...""I disguised myself as one of the wounded soldiers and was brought here. After losing all my cultivation, I've since regained two crowns!""I was brought back from the firmament by my husband. After we arrived here, I lost all my cultivation and never practiced again. We had a child later, and he was perfectly normal, but I never expected my grandson to..."As those people spoke, Zayan and Sir Holt were stunned! Those peopl

    "You know the cause of the illness?"Zayan was shocked, almost in disbelief."Do you realize this child is the same age as you? Even your master examined him but couldn't find the cause!"Chad nodded and said, "But I do know, and I have a bold theory—that the cause of autism in all these children might be the same..."As he spoke, some thoughts suddenly flashed through Chad's mind, shocking even him, leading him to say, "And I suspect this might be related to the increasing number of ability users and cultivators over the past century!""Really?!"Zayan grabbed Chad's arm, hardly believing what he was hearing.However, Chad spoke with firm conviction, "It's very likely true, but I need to see more children with autism.""Wait here; I'll make arrangements right away!"Soon, Chad and his group arrived at the largest hospital in Kennington, the Ninth Military District Hospital, and Xyder was also brought along.
