The Mysterious Card Maker: Starting with Zhang Jiao's Deification

Seeing the growing impatience of the people in the room, the auctioneer finally spoke, "The auction will now begin. The starting price for the [Purifying Talisman] is 100,000. Anyone bidding?"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the long-suppressed atmosphere in the room seemed to be ignited instantly.

"150,000!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

Almost without any pause, the price of the [Purifying Talisman] began to skyrocket, with the numbers on the screen constantly fluctuating.

Some people would raise their signs as soon as one person did, and the next person would immediately follow suit. They were like robots who didn't need to think, just raising their signs without thinking.

The enthusiasm of the crowd did not diminish due to the price increase; on the contrary, it became even more frenzied.

After all, in their eyes, this thing was no longer just a talisman, but something unique.

Da Niu was stunned as he listened to the ever-increasing prices. "Are they all crazy...?"

"Just this one talisman has already reached over a million, and it's still being auctioned."

Lin Fan was also somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected the [Purification Talisman] to be worth so much.

Just then, Su Wanqing slowly spoke up: "Didn't I say that it can purify the card's 'deviousness value'? This is equivalent to giving those out-of-control cards a second chance."

"I know," Da Niu pointed to the auctioneer on the stage. "Didn't that guy just say that? But this price could buy several Purple Domain Cards. Buying a card is better than buying a talisman."

Su Wanqing chuckled softly, her gaze falling on Da Niu. "You're talking about the Purple Domain Card, but what about... anything above the Purple Domain?"

Lin Fan's pupils contracted. In that instant, he understood that the cards above the Purple Domain and the cards below the Purple Domain were completely different concepts.

They cannot be created simply by accumulating and synthesizing materials.

They require a specific environment, and even require the card maker to be in a special state, for them to be completed by chance.

Some people may spend years trying to make a second card, because these things are no longer something that money can buy.

Once such a card becomes distorted, it means it is completely out of control and rendered useless.

But now, the [Purification Talisman] has appeared, tearing open a new path for these previously useless cards.

This is no longer purification, but rebirth.

Lin Fan's gaze returned to the talisman on the stage, and he finally understood why the people present were so crazy.

What they're fighting for isn't a single rune, but an opportunity to regain control of top-tier cards.

Thinking about this, Lin Fan suddenly understood why Zhao Zhong had put this item up for auction.

If this thing isn't brought to the forefront, and if it gets discovered, not only the All Souls Church, but anyone with a bit of influence will covet the Foundation.

But once it's out in the open, no one cares whether he has it or not; instead, everyone's eyes are on this so-called "last cleansing talisman."

now.

The price on the screen had reached 1.2 million, and this price was offered by Qin Chuan, Qin Muyao's second uncle.

Lin Fan looked at Qin Chuan, who was holding up the sign, and couldn't help but ask, "You didn't buy this for Zhang Fei, did you?"

"Yeah, then what would I be doing here?"

"One million two hundred thousand!" Lin Fan gasped. "You have money to burn, don't you?"

You should know that the cost of creating Zhang Fei before was only a fraction of this price, and this young lady actually wants to spend several times the amount of money just to restore a Purple Domain Card.

"You promised to help me solve this, but you just left. I have to think of a way to do it, right?"

"If you're going to spend money on this, you might as well give me the money and I'll solve the problem for you!"

Lin Fan said, "Zhang Fei's transformation is quite different. It's carried within his skill. We just need to find a way to seal the strange energy back into the skill."

"Alright, then I'll tell my second uncle to stop bidding!"

"Hey, you really..." Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Qin Muyao picked up her phone and walked to the side, obviously to call Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan's bid of 1.2 million did not last long before it was surpassed again.

The number of bidders gradually decreased, not because they lacked the ability, but because the item exceeded their expectations. After all, not everyone can use a Gold Domain-level card. A collectible that is useless to them or even brings them trouble is not something everyone can handle.

"Two and a half million!"

The moment the words were spoken, the entire venue fell silent for a few seconds. At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Wang Bo, who was holding up the sign, and they all began to speculate about his identity.

Even Da Niu couldn't help but gasp, "My God, would I even be worth this talisman if I sold myself right now?"

Lin Fan looked at Wang Bo, who was all smiles and remained calm.

The two and a half million came out of his mouth as if it were just two hundred and fifty dollars, and there was not a trace of emotion on his face.

"Two and a half million is a first!"

"Two and a half million, for the second time!"

No one spoke again; the auctioneer's voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Two and a half million for the third time!"

"make a deal!"

"Bang"

With the heavy thud of the gavel, the auction officially came to an end.

However, the people inside did not immediately get up and leave.

According to the procedure, after the auction, the person who won the bid needs to complete the handover on the spot, and most of the people in the room are waiting for Zhao Zhong to come forward in person so that they can get to know him.

Lin Fan and his companions hadn't taken any photos, so there was no need for them to stay any longer. Led by Su Wanqing, they returned directly to the Flowing Light Hall above.

According to the rules, no one is allowed to leave before the auction officially ends, not even Su Wanqing.

However, this benefited Da Niu. As soon as he returned to Liuguang Hall, he rushed to the dining table with shining eyes, as if he had come home.

With his plates piled high like a small mountain, and with no one else around, he became even more unrestrained.

While chewing, he muttered, "Since I can't leave anyway, the more I eat, the less I waste."

Lin Fan's lips twitched. This guy really thought this place was a buffet.

Su Wanqing smiled at Da Niu's appearance, then turned her gaze back to Lin Fan.

"Have you figured out how to deal with Wang Bo?" Su Wanqing asked.

"Well, there's something I need your help with."

"What is it? Tell me?"

Lin Fan leaned close to Su Wanqing's ear and whispered something.

"That's a minor matter. There's no problem inside the manor, but what about outside?"

"I have a way!" Lin Fan said confidently.

"The deadline you and my uncle agreed on for making the cards is almost here, right? Any progress on the card production?"

"Yes, I do, but I'm just thinking, if Wang Bo stays here, will I still be making cards? What if he causes some trouble like last time..."

At this point, Su Wanqing already knew what Lin Fan wanted to say. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "I'll talk to my uncle about this later!"

"What are you talking about?!"

Qin Muyao raised an eyebrow and moved a few steps closer to Lin Fan.

"It's a secret between us!" Su Wanqing said immediately, her tone full of ambiguity.

What are these two women up to now?

"Is the beef delicious? Save some for me too!"

Sensing something was wrong, Lin Fan immediately ran to Da Niu's side.
