Auction's End

Alex grabbed Pearl in a big hug as he thanked him for the final help. Had he not reminded him of the thousand spirit stones he had, it would have all been for naught.

As they celebrated, the woman told them to remain there while the auction made some calculations and tallies before doing everything else.

She told Alex to get ready to pay and to bring all the money he had on him at the moment.

Alex nodded and sent the two Elders to meet with Lady Zhan and the Emerald King to bring back what they were promised. 

After they waited for half an hour, the door opened and someone handed the woman in the room a talisman, who handed it to Alex.

Alex looked at the talisman and his heart nearly sank in fear. He had spent nearly 400 thousand Saint Spirit stones throughout the entire month of the auction, and more than half of that was just the Mountain Crushing artifact.
