Grand Return System

The Price of Treasures [Part 2]

He took the storage treasure with both hands.

The moment he opened it, his expression changed.

At first, he was merely curious.

Then his eyes widened.

One treasure after another appeared before him.

Rare medicinal resources.

Powerful weapons.

Protective artifacts.

Mystical treasures.

Items that ordinary cultivators might spend their entire lives searching for.

Cavir’s expression gradually became more serious.

He summoned several trusted attendants.

The private room quickly became busy.

Tables were brought in.

Treasure-recording jade slips were prepared.

Every item was examined carefully.

The attendants moved with extreme caution.

No one dared to make a mistake.

After all, these were Leon’s treasures.

Even Cavir personally checked several of the items.

Some treasures were relatively common compared with the others.

Those were placed together.

They would enter a smaller auction channel.

Other treasures were different.

They possessed enough rarity and value to attract the attention of powerful cultivators.

Those were separated carefully.

They would become part of the main auction.

And then there were several items that made Cavir completely speechless.

After carefully counting Leon’s collection, Cavir stood before the neatly arranged treasures.

His mouth opened slightly.

Then closed.

He stared for several seconds.

Just how rich is this guy?

The thought appeared in his mind almost involuntarily.

It was absurd.

Absolutely absurd.

He had spent years working in the Treasure Pavilion.

He had seen treasures belonging to powerful sects.

He had seen collections belonging to wealthy households.

He had even handled treasures brought by ancient cultivators who rarely appeared in public.

But Leon’s collection was still enough to shock him.

And that was before he had even finished examining everything.

Cavir’s gaze suddenly stopped.

His pupils contracted.

One of the treasures lying before him was a slender needle.

Its surface carried a dark metallic sheen.

Even without activating it, a faint coldness seemed to seep from the object.

Cavir’s breathing stopped.

"F*ck."

His voice was barely audible.

He carefully picked up the Life Stealing Needle.

His fingers trembled.

The treasure was far more precious than ordinary cultivators could imagine.

Up until now, the Treasure Pavilion had never possessed such a treasure.

Not once.

A treasure of this level was normally kept tightly within the hands of powerful experts from the major Powerful Sects.

They treasured such items.

They protected them.

They would never casually allow them to circulate through the market.

The Life Stealing Needle was one of those treasures.

Its existence alone could make powerful cultivators fight.

Yet Leon had simply thrown it into a pile.

Cavir looked at the remaining treasures.

His expression slowly became strange.

There were two inner armors beside it.

Both were extraordinary.

Their defensive formations were extremely sophisticated.

Their materials were even rarer.

Cavir suddenly felt his heart ache.

These were treasures that other cultivators would treat like family heirlooms.

Yet Leon apparently did not care.

How could he have known that the treasures he regarded as priceless were practically trash in Leon’s eyes?

Leon had too many treasures.

These items were simply the ones he no longer needed.

If Cavir knew that, he probably would have vomited blood from frustration.

Comparison truly was odious.

Some people struggled their entire lives to obtain one treasure.

Others possessed so many that they could not even remember where they came from.

Cavir quietly placed the Life Stealing Needle back onto the table.

He took a long breath.

Then he turned toward Leon.

"Respected One, I’ve already finished counting."

Cavir spoke carefully.

His voice was respectful.

His eyes remained fixed on Leon.

"This Life Stealing Needle and these two inner armors can be auctioned as the finale treasures of this auction. How do you want to set the starting price?"

He asked tentatively.

Cavir understood something very important.

Leon did not seem particularly familiar with the auction business.

That was obvious from his earlier attitude.

He had simply brought out his treasures and told them to sell them.

There was no detailed pricing strategy.

No complicated negotiation.

No attempt to manipulate the market.

It was almost as if Leon simply wanted to turn things he did not need into resources.

That made Cavir even more careful.

If he set the price too low, he might offend Leon.

If he set it too high, he might damage the auction.

So he decided to ask first.

Leon looked at the treasures.

Then he looked at Cavir.

He did not seem particularly concerned.

He casually waved his hand.

"Do as you see fit."

His tone was relaxed.

Cavir blinked.

As expected.

Leon really did not understand this industry very deeply.

Fortunately, Cavir did.

He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Then he cautiously offered a number.

"Why don’t we start with ten million taels of silver?"

The moment the number left his mouth—

Leon froze.

"Hiss..."

He sucked in a breath of cold air.

Ten million taels.

Just the starting price?

His purple eyes widened for a brief moment.

F*ck.

Just the starting price was ten million?

Even though it was silver and not gold, that was still an enormous fortune.

Ten million taels of silver.

That was equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of gold.

Leon’s mind immediately began calculating.

One hundred thousand taels of gold.

And this was only the starting price.

If the auction pushed the price higher...

Then what would happen?

His eyes unconsciously narrowed.

A thought flashed through his mind.

If he gave something to Selena or Rias and triggered the Grand Return System...

Wouldn’t he become completely rich?

The Grand Return System was only visible to him.

No one else knew of its existence.

No one could see its presence.

And the system had always been particularly generous when it came to herbs and treasures.

Leon suddenly felt that the path ahead of him had become much brighter.

His heart began beating faster.

His mind was already imagining the possibilities.

Give.

Receive a return.

Give again.

Receive an even greater return.

Again.

And again.

The possibilities were almost intoxicating.

"F*ck!"

Leon nearly blurted out the thought.
