Chapter 171 (2/2)

Sigh~

“Fang Xingjian has a good Master.”

Master Yuelun sighed and headed for the palace.

“I’ll collect information about him. But as for whether the Guardian King will attend to him, I cannot guarantee.”

…

Another few days passed by in Kirst Royal Academy. This morning, Ferdinand had arrived at Fang Xingjian’s villa at the glimmer of dawn.

He headed straight for Fang Xingjian’s study. His dark circles were very deep, signs which signified that he had not gotten a good night’s sleep. However, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes.

He looked at Fang Xingjian and said, “Good news, excellent news!”

Fang Xingjian’s brows twitched. Hearing that, he stood up and asked, “There’s news about the parietal bones?”

“A level 25 Conferred Knight who has died just five years ago.” Ferdinand grinned. “Although they tried to keep the information under wraps, the person fulfilling these conditions should be a Headmaster from the Northern Ice Region.

“They’re not selling the parietal bones but are willing to loan it out for six hours. It’s a pity that they’re only willing to loan it out once. It will be going through a secret underground auction.”

“On loan for six hours?”

Having heard such information, Fang Xingjian was stunned for a moment. But the next moment, he understood what was going on.

The upcoming Regional Selection would affect the future of countless people. Regardless of whether it was the increased prizes or the fact that it could increase the academy’s budget, they both caused countless people to go crazy.

This time around, the reason for the auction to put up the loan of the item was the same. The other party was planning to use this as a means to raise funds and provide better conditions for their students. The money received from the auction could be used to buy cultivation resources or Divine Weapons. No matter how the money was used, it could be used to allow their students to power up.

And the reason they came all the way from the Northern Ice Region to the Great Western Region was because they were not willing to provide help to their rivals. If they were to put up the item for auction in the Northern Ice Region and allowed the students from the other academies to have a chance of attaining Heaven’s Perception through the parietal bones, they could have just as well lifted a heavy rock and slammed it down on their feet.

The time the item would be loaned out for would not be long. It would only be six hours. It was naturally because the students and instructors from the Northern Ice Region would also need to use it themselves.

Having instantly understood this, Fang Xingjian nodded and asked, “According to you, how much money would be required to win this auction to get the loan for six hours?”

Ferdinand nodded solemnly and said, “Many aristocratic clans have made their moves throughout Kirst. There are also people from Green Jade City and Mongul City who have headed over. These are people who strive to attain Heaven’s Perception.

“The auction will be held half a month later. Although the time it is loaned out for is very short, it’s impossible to win the bid without twenty thousand gold. This is the skull of a level 25 Conferred Knight we’re talking about here.”

There were only five thousand Conferred Knights across the Empire, and the parietal bones of a level 25 Conferred Knight who had died within ten years was extremely valuable.

Although they could only loan it for six hours, it allowed for one to experience what Heaven’s Perception felt like. Even though the person may still not be able to attain Heaven’s Perception in the future, it would be an unforgettable experience nevertheless.

Thus, even Ferdinand himself was not very confident in his own conjecture. That was because he had never participated in such an auction.

When Fang Xingjian heard that the amount was twenty thousand gold, his brows furrowed. Suddenly, he thought of the corpses of those Garcia warriors he had slain.

‘It’s time to go recall where those corpses are buried.’

Fang Xingjian remembered that he had killed about fourteen Garcia’s Great Warriors in total. If he were to sell all fourteen of those level 19 Knight-level corpses in one piece, he might be able to gather twenty thousand gold, which would give him a chance to attain Heaven’s Perception.
