Chapter 1174 The Incomplete Map

"By the way, please tell the auctioneer to continue the auction. Don't wait for my signal anymore," Edie told the manservant. Even if Ricky couldn't offer anything in exchange, he wouldn't let everyone know about it.

He already expected that Ricky had nothing to offer in exchange, but he had planned to ask Ricky to do something in return instead.

It was better for Ricky to work for them than for harm to come to him after all. "Got it!" the servant replied and left quickly.

Just as Edie instructed, it didn't take long before the auction continued.

"Next, we are going to show you the third item!" Saying this, the quickly brought out the last item, presenting it to the audience. However, the warriors paid no attention to it yet, as they were all busy waiting for news about Ricky.

"So it is true that Kenney has six hundred and fifty zones of cultivation resources? He was able to pay, right? That's why the auction is continuing?" All the warriors in the hall were astonished when the auctioneer decided to proceed. They had all expected that Ricky would not be able to provide six hundred and fifty zones of cultivation resources, and they were waiting for him to either get beaten up or thrown out.

"Who knows!"

"The Wind-Mountain Alliance must trust him a lot, and maybe they have resolved this matter internally. Or they could be cheating us by working with each other!"

"Not necessarily. I don't know about you, but I have a strong feeling that Kenney is not as simple as we think. Besides, the Wind-Mountain Alliance has never cheated anyone these past years, so why would they do it now?"

At this moment, a variety of discussions could be heard in the crowd.

"We will know whether he is cheating us after the auction ends and he leaves. We can follow him secretly then," the team leaders of the Moon Dragon Palace and the Star Tiger Palace talked to each other through telepathy.

"That's right. Hutton won't let him go easily. We just need to follow him secretly."

Meanwhile, Ricky and Edie were talking in the castle's secret room.

"I really want to be friends with you, Kenney, but there are still some things that need to be done by the book. I can't protect you this time, and if you can't provide anything of equal value, the consequences will be really serious," Edie told Ricky straightforwardly as soon as he stepped foot inside.

"Don't worry! I know the rules," Ricky replied with a smile.

"So what are you going to give us in order to get that tusk?" the Thousand-hand Emperor asked.

"Edie, can you tell me whether the power you cultivated is the power of the wind?" Ricky asked first without answering the Thousand-hand Emperor. From the moment Ricky observed Edie with his Golden

enty-five zones of cultivation resources," responded the auctioneer. "If any of you think you are lucky enough, you can bid for it. I am sure you can all afford twenty-five zones of cultivation resources, am I right?

Of course, you can also join hands to buy one!"

Ricky listened intently while still inside Edie's private room. He nodded at Edie approvingly and said,

"You did well copying the incomplete map into fifty pieces, and twenty-five zones of cultivation resources for each piece seems like a good price as well. All together you will get more than one thousand zones of cultivation resources if you sell all of them."

Then, Ricky looked curiously at him and asked, "By the way, why didn't you make more copies?"

"Fifty pieces will be just enough. If there are more, those warriors will think that it is not that valuable. If there are less, we will not be able to earn many cultivation resources," Edie answered. "But this incomplete map is definitely left by a saint."

"How many pieces of the incomplete map are yet to be found?" Ricky asked.

"There is still more than a half left..."

"More than half is missing? So that means this map is useless," Ricky said, shaking his head.

"Not necessarily. I have told them that it all depends on luck," replied Edie with a sly smirk. "How about you? Do you want a piece of the map?"

"I have nothing on me now, and I don't have any more peculiar fire to exchange with you," answered Ricky, shaking his head quickly.

"Don't worry. I will make sure that they will send a piece of the map to you for free," Edie said with a warm smile.

"Ha-ha, thank you. To be honest, I also want to try and see if I am lucky enough to find something following this incomplete map." Ricky smiled, while in his mind, he was already plotting what he would do next.
