Chapter 56: A Huge Sum Arrives — Crafting the Shadow Veil Ring!

"Boom!!"

The giant white-bone castle was still rising without pause.

A rumbling roar echoed across the entire Bone Graveyard, and even the ground seemed to tremble.

At this moment.

Countless professionals within the Bone Graveyard.

All saw that enormous white-bone castle slowly rising into view.

Quite a few of them changed expression at once, each thinking of the rumors about the Bone Castle.

In an instant.

Their faces immediately grew excited.

…

…

"According to what's written in the book."

"The Bone Castle normally stays underground; for it to fully emerge into the world takes at least a day."

"I can head back to the city first to resupply."

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After a brief surge of excitement, Jiang Li quickly calmed himself down.

He did not rush forward to approach the castle.

The formation of this special instance, the Bone Castle, required a certain amount of time.

Even if he hurried over now, he still could not enter.

Moreover.

He had already been fighting for quite some time; not only was his backpack stuffed with all kinds of materials, his potions and other recovery items were nearly used up as well, so this was the perfect chance to head back to the base city and restock.

"Let's go."

Jiang Li took one last look at that towering white-bone castle, then turned and left.

At the same time.

Quite a few professionals made the same choice as him, stepping onto the teleportation array one after another to return to the city.

…

…

Stepping out of the teleportation array.

The environment before Jiang Li's eyes shifted from the gloomy bone grounds to modern high-rise buildings.

He headed straight for the trading market.

He found a stall selling materials.

He sold off all those low-tier materials dropped by the undead monsters he had slain earlier.

"Mm…"

"Seventeen Low-tier Black Iron materials, thirty-four thousand; five Mid-tier Black Iron ones… fifty thousand; two High-tier Black Iron ones, forty thousand. That's twenty-four pieces in total, and the grand total comes to one hundred twenty-four thousand."

"How does that price sound?"

The stall owner checked them over with practiced ease.

Examining each material's attributes while quoting very detailed prices.

"One hundred twenty thousand… works!"

Jiang Li nodded without much hesitation.

Though the usual price for Low-tier Black Iron gear was ten thousand, Mid-tier Black Iron fifty thousand, and High-tier Black Iron one hundred thousand.

Those were finished pieces of equipment, painstakingly crafted by blacksmiths and forging-class professionals.

But as materials for crafting equipment, selling them at around twenty percent of that price was already quite decent.

"Alright then."

"I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

Seeing him agree so readily, the stall owner's face lit up at once, and he hurriedly transferred the corresponding amount through the panel.

"Thanks, boss."

Jiang Li glanced at the payment notification.

He saw that the boss had actually transferred one hundred thirty thousand to him directly… and couldn't help but thank him.

"Heh-heh, next time you've got goods, remember to come back!"

The stall owner called out with a smile.

Jiang Li smiled and nodded in return, then headed to another area to buy the recovery items he needed.

"Hm?"

After finishing his purchases, a message suddenly popped up before Jiang Li's eyes…

【Ding!】

【'Xu Qingzhu' has transferred 'twenty-six million five hundred thousand yuan' to you!】

"This is…"

Jiang Li's heart stirred.

Before he could even send a message to ask, Xu Qingzhu proactively sent him a message.

【Xu Qingzhu: Jiang Li, the skill book for your Descending Rain of Fire has been successfully auctioned off. The final transaction price was twenty-six million five hundred thousand. You should have received the payment already, right?】

"Sure enough, it's…"

"It actually sold for such a high price..."

Jiang Li immediately replied, "Received. The price is somewhat unexpected."

The other side quickly

【Xu Qingzhu: Oh? Then do you think this price is high... or low?】

【Jiang Li: Of course it's high. To achieve such a high bid, you must have put in quite a bit of effort.】

【Xu Qingzhu: Of course. I forgot to mention, I am the auctioneer for this auction. I used every trick in the book to drive the price up this high. Considering how hard I worked, Jiang Li, don't you plan to treat me to a meal? Of course, not just a simple meal; I have a personal matter I want to ask you for help with.】

"Ask me for help?"

Jiang Li's eyes showed confusion.
