Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

Walking down the streets of Molten City, Jiang Chuan saw bounty posters put up by the Fire Demon Clan along the way.

It's not just them.

The Cyclops have also discovered the tragedy at the teleportation altar.

Both of the two holy blood races were offering bounties for the murderer, which was extremely rare in the four regions, and the city was bustling with activity.

Jiang Chuan, disguised as a one-eyed tribesman, swaggered down the street as if these bounties had nothing to do with him.

We passed through several main roads.

He stopped in front of a magnificent, reddish-gold skyscraper.

Liejin Trading Company.

The largest equipment trading house in Molten Core.

Jiang Chuan stepped inside, and a slender young woman in a light gold dress walked towards him with a smile.

"Welcome to Liejin Trading Company, our esteemed guest!"

Fox clan.

Her appearance is very similar to that of humans, with a pair of fluffy white fox ears and a soft, fluffy white tail trailing behind her.

Her features were exquisitely beautiful, her skin was fair and delicate as if you could squeeze water out of it, and her amber eyes sparkled.

A single glance is enough to make someone lower their guard.

This is precisely the innate characteristic of the fox clan:

Charm.

This allure is not something deliberately created, but rather a natural racial trait.

Regardless of the other party's race, when facing the fox clan, they will subconsciously feel an inexplicable sense of goodwill, lower their guard, and shorten the psychological distance.

It is precisely because of this characteristic.

Within the four regions, almost all service industries specifically recruit fox clansmen as reception staff.

However, Jiang Chuan's intelligence attribute is already close to 80,000 points, so this natural charm has no effect on him at all.

He simply nodded slightly and said in a calm voice, "I'm here to sell a piece of equipment, and I need your master to appraise it."

"May I ask how the guest is addressed?"

Just call me Mo Yuan.

"Mr. Mo, please wait a moment, I will go and fetch the expert appraiser from our field."

She led Jiang Chuan to a seat in the VIP room, then personally served him a cup of steaming spiritual tea before turning and quickly walking upstairs.

In no time at all.

The door to the VIP room was pushed open.

The fox-woman led in a chubby old stone demon.

"Mr. Mo, this is Master Shi Li, the chief appraiser of our Liejin Trading Company. He has been specializing in equipment appraisal for over forty years and is also the honorary vice president of the Molten Fire City Refiners Guild."

The fox-woman explained softly.

Master Shi Li bowed slightly, his small, beady eyes gleaming with a hidden glint: "I am Shi Li, greetings Mr. Mo. Xiao Ying told me you have a fire-type artifact that needs your appraisal. May I have the honor of taking a look?"

Jiang Chuan didn't say much, but simply took out the long spear from his backpack and placed it flat on the table in front of him.

The moment the gun hit the table, the entire table trembled slightly.

The flame patterns on the dark red gun body, pulsating like veins, even when it was just lying there quietly, caused the air around the gun to distort slightly from the intense heat.

"This...this is a mid-grade divine artifact!"

Master Shi Li's previous composure vanished without a trace in an instant.

He strode to the table, put on his forensic glasses, and examined every line on the gun closely.

He watched for a while before slowly straightening up.

Looking at Jiang Chuan again, the expression in his eyes had changed from initial politeness to intense excitement.

"Mr. Mo, the forging technique of this equipment is flawless, even our guild's chief weapon refiner would find it difficult to achieve such a level of skill! What's even more remarkable is that it was crafted using the Heart of Molten Fire as its core... Such a top-quality piece of equipment is the first I've ever seen in all my years of life!"

Jiang Chuan asked casually, "So, what's its price?"

"Based on the current market conditions, a typical mid-grade artifact with two attributes would cost between 1.5 million and 2 million Molten Coins."

He paused, his gaze returning to the spear. "But this spear is different. Although it only has two characteristics, the combination of characteristics is extremely perfect, and its practical value far exceeds that of ordinary mid-grade divine weapons."

"My conservative estimate is that this gun is worth at least three million Molten Coins on the market. If a buyer who truly needs it finds one, it's not impossible for it to sell for even more!"

Three million.

This number was almost double what he had expected.

But Master Shi Li continued, "Well... Mr. Mo, three million in cash is no small sum. Our business is indeed experiencing some cash flow problems. If you need to liquidate your assets now, we can only offer a maximum of two million in cash, and the rest..."

Jiang Chuan frowned upon hearing this.

This means that the Liejin Trading Company cannot afford his goods for the time being.

The fox-woman, who had been standing quietly to the side, saw Jiang Chuan frown and quickly smiled and said in a conciliatory tone, "Mr. Mo, if it's just a matter of cashing out, our trading company has an even better solution."

"explain."

"Two days from now, our Liejin Trading Company will be holding an auction, guaranteed by the adults of the Lielong Clan. At that time, dozens of races within a radius of thousands of miles that have received invitations will send representatives to participate. If you put this spear up for auction, not only will there be more buyers bidding, but it may even fetch a price far exceeding your expectations."

She paused, her amber eyes shimmering, and her voice softened even more: "In addition, we also welcome Mr. Mo to personally attend the auction and bid on other items he may wish to purchase."

Jiang Chuan took a sip of the slightly cooled spiritual tea, but did not rush to answer.

auctions.

That's definitely a good idea.

……

The moment Jiang Chuan stepped out of the Chamber of Commerce, the smile on Shi Li's face vanished instantly.

He quickly pushed open a hidden door and entered a secret room directly opposite the VIP room.

A tall, slender figure stood in the secret room.

They are also members of the Stone Demon race.

The patterns on his body had already taken on a faint golden hue.

Jin Xuan.

The president of the Liejin Trading Company.

He had his eye on Jiang Chuan the moment he entered the room.

"Gravel, what do you think of that customer from earlier?"

Shi Li hesitated for a moment, carefully choosing his words before cautiously speaking: "Guild Master, this person is no ordinary individual. I've been an appraiser for over forty years and have met several master-level craftsmen, but none of them have ever been able to forge a divine artifact of this caliber!"

Jin Xuan finally raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "You think he forged that gun himself?"

"Besides him, I can't think of any other possibility. To forge a divine artifact of that level, one must be at least a chief grandmaster level or even higher. And there are no more than two hands' worth of weapon refiners of that level in the entire Molten Realm. I know the name of every single one of them!"

Jin Xuan nodded slightly, without saying a word.

Shi Li continued, "But that's not the strangest thing. The core material of this Divine Flame Spear is a Molten Core, and it's at the peak of the eighth tier. Our trading company controls most of the industry chain. It's impossible for us not to know that a peak eighth-tier Molten Core has appeared on the market. But this Molten Core seems to have appeared out of thin air, with no transaction records whatsoever..."

"so what?"

Jin Xuan's voice remained calm.

Shi Li hesitated for a few seconds before finally speaking out his guess: "This one-eyed Clan guest named Mo Yuan is very likely the mysterious alien race that the Fire Demon Clan is currently hunting! A Fire Demon Clan stronghold was just wiped out, and he immediately produced a divine weapon forged from the Heart of Molten Fire—this coincidence is just too much!"

He stopped talking right away.

Jin Xuan then slowly spoke up: "You're only half right. He's not a one-eyed person. I could tell from the first second he stepped into the trading company."

Stone Gravel's eyes widened immediately: "Not a one-eyed tribesman? But his appearance..."

"His appearance is indeed that of a one-eyed person, but I've dealt with one-eyed people too many times. This 'Mr. Mo' is very good at imitating him, at least to outsiders he's indistinguishable from the real thing, but he can't fool me."

Jin Xuan laughed.

Stone Gravel immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Then... the Fire Demon Clan and the One-Eyed Clan will both be attending the auction in two days. Should I release the news in advance so they...?"

Why let them know?

The pebble was stumped by his question.

Jin Xuan calmly smiled and said, "To be able to single-handedly destroy the Fire Demon Clan's stronghold, to be able to forge such a top-grade divine artifact, and then to dare to disguise himself as a One-Eyed Clan member and swagger into Molten Fire City..."

"Hmm... He deliberately disguised himself as a one-eyed person; there's probably a deeper meaning to that. Could it be that he's also a wanted target of the one-eyed people?"

"This is getting interesting."

In just a few words, President Jin Xuan had almost completely exposed Jiang Chuan's background.

He smiled and said, "His eagerness to sell his weapons shows that he is short of money. He has the ability and the courage, but he is short of money. Such a person is the easiest pawn to be won over."

Stone Gravel quickly said, "Then why don't we just buy his weapons? Three million Molten Coins is a lot, but our guild isn't really unable to afford it..."

"If you buy his weapons, he won't be short of money anymore, right?"

Jin Xuan countered with a question.

The gravel was speechless.

Jin Xuan laughed and said, "No rush, let's talk about it after the auction starts. Such a rare talent should be won over with some means."
