The Skill Card "Golden Sword Qi" also wasn't very expensive, and in the end, Mu Qianshan won it with just ten Low Grade Star Spirit Stones.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Yuan also started getting itchy fingers.

That's it?

I can do that too!

I mean, now I can be considered as someone with a small fund, right?

However, the following white quality cards were not what Jiang Yuan needed.

So he wasn't in a hurry to make a move.

Not until the auction moved into the blue quality cards.

"The first blue quality Weapon Card, Soul Bell, has a starting bid of fifteen Low Grade Star Spirit Stones, and each subsequent bid must be no less than one Low Grade Star Spirit Stone."

As soon as the presenter finished speaking, Jiang Yuan didn't hesitate to press the button to increase the bid by one Low Grade Star Spirit Stone.

"Cabin number 31 adds one Low Grade Star Spirit Stone!"

"Are you also a card maker?"

Seeing Jiang Yuan bid, Mu Qianshan was somewhat curious and asked him.

"Card making, but not needed for the moment."

The Soul Bell could be used to craft the treasure, Soul-falling Bell.

But of course, not at this moment.

There are too many cards to make now.

In these two days, as soon as my spiritual power recovered I would start card making, and finally, I've completed a large part of the ordered cards.

I haven't got around to crafting the "Earth Walking Skill" and mount that I planned.

At the very least, I need to craft these two cards before the Martial Arts Examination starts.

As for this auction.

Apart from being able to craft the "Soul-falling Bell," the most important point is that Jiang Yuan wanted to try what it feels like to bid in an auction.

While Jiang Yuan was talking with Mu Qianshan, the "Soul Bell" quickly surpassed twenty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones.

Jiang Yuan didn't care, as there were more cards he was interested in later on.

"Not going to take it down?"

"There's more to come, what's the rush?"

Learning that he could also participate in the auction with his assets, Jiang Yuan became thoroughly excited.

The military personnel conducting the auction didn't beat around the bush, so the progress was quite fast.

"Coming up next is lot number 57, a blue quality Material Card, Cloud Demon, with a starting bid of twenty Low Grade Star Spirit Stones, with each bid increasing by one."

Once again, as soon as the speaker finished, Jiang Yuan chose to bid.

"Are you using this to make cards?"

Mu Qianshan was somewhat puzzled; after all, even though it's called a Material Card, it is actually just the body of a Cloud Demon.

Things that have been looted of their essence, apart from flesh and bone, basically had no other use and could only be used for card making.

But, what card needed the body of a Cloud Demon?

Mu Qianshan, not being a card maker, couldn't think of any.

"Of course, you'll find out later."

Once someone placed a bid, Jiang Yuan once again chose to bid.

This is about my future mount!

It depends on this if I can roam freely in the wild!

But luckily, there weren't many bidders, and in the end, there was only one person left competing with Jiang Yuan.

After Jiang Yuan raised the price to twenty-seven Low Grade Star Spirit Stones, that person finally kept quiet.

"Congratulations to cabin number 31, moving on to the next lot, lot number 58 is..."

The auction continued, and during the process, Mu Qianshan won a few Skill Cards, after which Jiang Yuan also managed to secure another blue quality card he had eyed.

Up next was the auction for the most important Purple Quality Cards.

"The following auction of Purple Quality Cards comes with a request; we ask participants to move to a smaller hall, and the bidding will be conducted as card making."

"What does that mean?"

Jiang Yuan was startled and turned his head to look at Mu Qianshan, but Mu Qianshan revealed an expression of sudden realization.

"Ah, so that's how it is. No wonder."

After smiling, Mu Qianshan began to explain to Jiang Yuan.

"It's like this: sometimes when someone needs to find a Card Maker to create a specific card, if they can't find a suitable Card Maker right away, they might choose to gather Card Makers through an auction like this."

"And those ten Purple Quality Cards mentioned as auction items, they are actually rewards for selecting a Card Maker."

"Of course, if there are no suitable Card Makers who can meet the requirements in the end, then these auction items will be auctioned off again among the Card Makers."

"I see."

Jiang Yuan understood. Is this similar to a tendering process?

It seemed so.

"Let's go take a look; you are also a Card Maker, aren't you?"

"Ah, am I capable of that?"

Jiang Yuan was a bit nervous; after all, he had never dealt with the Card Makers of this world before.

"Just go have a look. Even if you're not a Card Maker, you can still go."

"Why? Isn't it aimed at Card Makers?"

"There are always people who will take a liking to an auction item but are not Card Makers themselves. They'll go too; if no one's successful, the auction item will be put back on auction, and then they can make their move."

Mu Qianshan explained, "Even if someone is successful, they can still go and negotiate directly with the person who succeeded to see if they can buy the card they are interested in."

"Oh, I see."

Jiang Yuan nodded his head, not expecting an auction to have so many twists and turns.

After leaving the private room, they were soon led by the staff to a small hall.

The hall was simple with just a platform and some tables and chairs facing it.

"If everyone is facing each other, won't that lead to some conflicts?" Jiang Yuan was somewhat excited.

He wondered if the famous plot lines from fantasy novels would take place here at the auction.

Bidding wars, the protagonist showing off and slapping faces, and the party being slapped calls in an elder, who then also ends up being shown off and slapped.

Tsk tsk, up close observation.

Just the thought was exciting!

Mu Qianshan looked at Jiang Yuan a bit strangely, not understanding what Jiang Yuan was getting so excited about.

"How could that happen? Everyone here is a dignitary; they wouldn't fight over something like this."

Mu Qianshan shook his head, "The biggest conflict would probably just be debates among the Card Makers."

"Ah?"

Jiang Yuan felt a twinge of disappointment. What's the excitement in that?

But if there were a protagonist in this world, it might be different, right?

After all, the protagonist's showing off and face-slapping often targeted those high-profile figures.

With this thought, Jiang Yuan became excited again and kept looking around to see who might be the protagonist.

After a little while, more than twenty people had arrived in the small hall, and then no more people came in.

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a military uniform stepped onto the platform.

"Holy shit, the Military Commander himself is here!"

When Mu Qianshan saw the Military Commander on the stage, he exclaimed in surprise and quickly whispered to Jiang Yuan, "It seems the military places great importance on this."

"Military Commander?"

Jiang Yuan was also taken aback, even though he didn't know what the difference was between the Military Commander of this world and those of his previous world.

But from Mu Qianshan's reaction, the position of the Military Commander must be quite significant.

"Let's not delve into idle chatter; this auction is indeed being held because we need a card."

The Military Commander glanced at Mu Qianshan and Jiang Yuan, who were whispering below, and his eyes also revealed a hint of surprise.

Why have they come as well?

But then he remembered how Jiang Yuan had made a card on the spot at the Pocket World Simulation League and understood.

"Without further ado, this time our request is for a white quality card, and it must not exceed a new Skill Card of blue quality."
