Elara leaned closer to Lyra, her voice low but determined. "Lyra, this elemental amulet is crucial for my growth. With my current understanding of the elements still in its basic stage, acquiring this artifact would accelerate my progress significantly. We can't afford to let it slip away."
Lyra nodded in agreement, her eyes focused on the amulet's radiant glow. "You're right, Elara. Your cultivation journey has been accelerated by the monsters you encountered in the tomb, but we must not underestimate the importance of solidifying our elemental control. We have to give it everything we've got."
As the bidding began, Elara watched as the offers escalated rapidly. Cultivators from various factions raised their paddles with unwavering determination. The intensity in the room surpassed even the previous bidding war for the Celestial Soul Pendant.
