Ordinary people simply cannot afford the massive resources required for a Forger's growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even looking across all of Qingcheng, the highest-level Forger is only Advanced, which also means that the equipment produced in Qingcheng is at most Advanced, and even then, it might not succeed once in a hundred attempts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rare-grade equipment can only be crafted by a Forging Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This also means that the Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring before them must have come from the hands of a Forging Master!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of Ye Lin's mouth couldn't help but twitch at this moment; a ring that can add 30% mental power—the boost equipment provides to class-changers is truly too great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One must know that although his forbidden spell Burning Reincarnation can increase mental power by 100%, that comes at the cost of burning life force. If a rich kid were to wear six Imperial Dragon Ruyi Rings, the mental power bonus alone would reach a staggering 180%; even by burning his life force, he wouldn't be able to keep up with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder a class-changer in full god-tier gear can easily crush ten players in basic gear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the price of this Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring is also daunting; a full eight million is just the starting price. Judging by the previous experience of auctioning skill scrolls, the final transaction price will certainly not be lower than twenty million!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty million! Ye Lin counted on his fingers and calculated that he would probably have to sell 666 kidneys to scrape together this amount of money; even with his immortal body, he found this number absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, he has Ji Lingyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine million!\" Father Ji immediately announced the price, instantly raising the price of the Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring by one million, but this price was clearly not enough to scare off other competitors, and many people began to bid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nine million two hundred thousand!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twelve million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was very clear about how precious a piece of Rare-grade equipment is; this is a treasure that money cannot buy in Qingcheng, because there are simply no Forging Masters in Qingcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Father Ji announced the price again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fifteen million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The whole hall was in an uproar, raising the price by three million in one go; everyone could see that the Ji Group was determined to win this Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were still people bidding on the floor, but the number of bidders had decreased significantly. When Father Ji raised the price to eighteen million, the entire hall fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eighteen million to buy a piece of Rare-grade equipment; this price is considered reasonable, and there is no need to add more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint smile appeared on the corner of Father Ji's mouth; eighteen million in exchange for his son's qualification to enter a top-tier academy—worth it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he only has this one son; if he doesn't spend money on him, where else could he spend it? Although this Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring is to be given to Ye Lin after being auctioned, the Forbidden Spellcaster profession is very short-lived. In a few years, once Ye Lin dies, won't the equipment on him belong to his son, Ji Lingyu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighteen million, going once.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighteen million, going twice.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eighteen million, going three times. Let us congratulate the Ji Group...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the auctioneer Qingqing of the Treasure Pavilion was about to announce that Father Ji had successfully won the Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring, a lazy and arrogant voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this voice sounded, everyone turned their heads in surprise. Bidding is normal, but to bid at the very last second is clearly meant to offend the Ji Group to the death. Who on earth has such guts?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji's expression also sank suddenly, his gaze sharp as an eagle's, but when they saw the person who made the bid, everyone was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a man with a slicked-back hairstyle, looking a bit plump, with a kind smile hanging on the corners of his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The King of the Underground, Kensen!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he doing this on purpose or by accident? The Ji Group and Kensen have nothing to do with each other.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hard to say! But it looks like the two of them have some bad blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People discussed it in hushed tones, all sensing something unusual. Although Kensen hasn't made any big moves in recent years, everyone knows that there is only one eternal king of the Qingcheng underground world, and that is Kensen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji was also dumbfounded at this moment; he had never offended Kensen, and had barely even met him a few times. What does the other party mean by this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Kensen, I wonder if I have offended you in any way?\" Adhering to the principle that harmony brings wealth, Father Ji did not get angry, but instead put on a smiling face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"President Ji, what are you saying! At an auction, it must go to the highest bidder! Can't I, Kensen, also take a fancy to this Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kensen smiled kindly, without any airs, his eyes sweeping over Ye Lin calmly, while he thought to himself, well done, Ji Group, you're still playing dumb with me, aren't you? That Ye Lin has already stood behind you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin was also sizing up Kensen at this moment; if no one had told him, he would never have guessed that the person in front of him would be the King of the Qingcheng Underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two men's gazes met in the air, a trace of coldness in each other's eyes, with only Father Ji caught in the middle, looking bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that Kensen really just took a fancy to the Imperial Dragon Ruyi Ring?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty-one million.\" Father Ji tentatively offered another price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was the exact same scenario; the moment Qingqing announced the price, Kensen called out twenty-two million again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji's heart sank; he could now be certain that Kensen was truly targeting the Ji Group. This was definitely not a good sign.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Kensen, where has my Ji Group offended you? Please enlighten me,\" Father Ji said very respectfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't that he was afraid of Kensen, but offending such a guy for no reason really didn't serve his interests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enlighten you?\" Upon hearing this, Kensen's gaze suddenly turned cold. He leaned into Father Ji's ear and whispered, \"You killed my men and still dare to ask me to enlighten you? You're a man! I, Kensen, accept your challenge! I guarantee I will make your family ruined and dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Lin had burned his dozens of subordinates and the farm to the ground, and immediately after, he was picked up personally by the eldest young master of the Ji Group, Ji Lingyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kensen absolutely did not believe that the Ji Group wasn't behind it, fueling the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Kensen's eyes, Father Ji's act of playing dumb was a blatant provocation!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji was even more confused. What? A challenge? How did he issue a challenge to Kensen? But he understood the last four words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruined and dead!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Father Ji's expression turned cold instantly. He had yielded time and time again to give Kensen face, yet Kensen threatened his family's lives. If he continued to yield, he would truly be a coward to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Ji Group is not some soft persimmon to be squeezed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Mr. Kensen refuses to enlighten me, then let us follow the rules of the auction!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1404,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e3bf766e5c883c93a77f7e971a7eca5ce3fb46c92937abd164a5546cf6370959","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-24","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-22",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
