Zephyr is now inside the room, holding about 100 essence stones, and the energy from it continuously flows into his body.
His eyes are closed, and sweat drips slowly from him.
After 8 hours, Zephyr finally reached 1-Star Knight. If the other knights knew this, they would definitely call Zephyr a monster.
For Zephyr, it would have been faster if he had used lightning strike, but it was too risky, and he was just lucky on his third life.
The next day, Zephyr continued to absorb energy from the essence stones, while Caiyi and Touba left the inn to buy supplies and materials for their Golden Peony Clan.
Caiyi was happy as they walked because they could now buy many things and no longer had to be frugal with Touba.
Combining their money, Caiyi and Touba had about 200,000 coins, so Caiyi felt confident.
Caiyi was really grateful to Zephyr because of him, their clan could breathe a bit easier for now.
Caiyi didn't know where Zephyr got such a large amount of money, but she didn't ask him about it because it was Zephyr's secret.
And does it really matter?
After a while, they arrived at their destination.
Caiyi immediately stated her purpose to the shop owner.
"You know, young lady of the Golden Peony Clan, the Trope Clan also wants to buy our materials. So, if you want to be the one to buy them, you need to pay more than what the Trope Clan is offering," said the shopkeeper, smiling as if he knew Caiyi couldn't top the offer.
Caiyi sighed; they would lose money in this transaction, but the Golden Peony Clan really needed these materials, so she had no choice.
"How much is the Trope Clan offering?"
"10,000 coins, young miss."
10,000 coins... Without what Zephyr gave, all their money wouldn't be enough for this.
"Deal," Caiyi said softly.
"Thank you so much, young miss. We will deliver the materials this week."
Caiyi just nodded and then she and Touba left to return to the inn.
7 days later.
Finally, Zephyr reached the peak of 1-Star Knight.
He happily left the room to find Caiyi and Touba.
After that, the three of them went to the auction house. When they arrived, they immediately saw the long line to get inside.
To enter, you first had to pay 100 coins at the entrance.
"Caiyi, have you ever been inside the auction house?" Zephyr suddenly asked.
"No... This is my first time too," Caiyi replied.
After a few hours, they finally got inside.
They sat at the very back.
Zephyr quietly observed the people there and thought they were mostly nobles and many strong knights.
He could sense a 5-Star Knight present.
