Chapter 1491 Auction's End

Alex grabbed Pearl in a big hug as he thanked him for the final help. Had he not reminded him of the thousand spirit stones he had, it would have all been for naught.

As they celebrated, the woman told them to remain there while the auction made some calculations and tallies before doing everything else.

She told Alex to get ready to pay and to bring all the money he had on him at the moment.

Alex nodded and sent the two Elders to meet with Lady Zhan and the Emerald King to bring back what they were promised.

After they waited for half an hour, the door opened and someone handed the woman in the room a talisman, who handed it to Alex.

Alex looked at the talisman and his heart nearly sank in fear. He had spent nearly 400 thousand Saint Spirit stones throughout the entire month of the auction, and more than half of that was just the Mountain Crushing artifact.

Alex handed the list to the elders to make sure everything they bought was there, and once it was finalized, he handed over the money to the woman.

The woman counted the money she was handed with trembling hands as the amount she was holding was not something just anyone could come across.

She nodded and waited for someone to come collect the money. Once the money was gone, they had to wait for another while before 2 things arrived.

The first thing that arrived was their earnings. The woman handed the Storage bag to Alex who took it and opened it.

Inside the bag were so many Spirit stones that Alex sensed and felt overwhelmed for a second by the amount. He quickly closed it and opened it again to focus on it.

While half of his attention counted the spirit stones, the other half pulled out the talisman in the bag that listed down how much of the amount they were paid for was there and how much was taxed away.

The part of him that counted the pill couldn't help but be absolutely floored at how much he had just earned.

836,000 Saint Spirit stones.

Why in the hell was he so worried about just 252,000 spirit stones just moments earlier? The experience felt so surreal to him.

As he finished reading the talisman, he noticed that the amount he had earned was actually 781,000 not 836,000. Why was there a bit more Spirit stones in the storage bag than he should have received as per the talisman?

55 thousand Saint Spirit stones were not just something they could forget about. Had they made some sort of mistake?

When he was just getting confused, he realized what was happening.

Alex couldn't help but smile when he saw a small note at the end of the talisman reminding him that 2 Dao Pills had to be sold to both the auction house's owner and manager.

He did tell them that he would sell them the pills for whatever the pill would cost after taking away the bid from 100,000. It seemed that they were already trying to pay for it to get him to stick to his words.

Alex chuckled a little and pulled out a few pill bottles before passing over pills from one to another. Once done, he handed the bottle over to the woman.

"Give my gratitude to your manager and owner," Alex said once the girl took the pill bottle.

"This is for the owner and manager?" the woman asked.

"Yes," Alex said and handed another pill bottle to the woman. "This is my gratitude for dealing with us for the whole month."

The woman took the second pill bottle with more surprise. "This... is this for me?" she asked.

"Of course," Alex said. "Don't tell anyone I gave these to you though."

"I... I can't... I..." the woman couldn't speak. She didn't know what to say after getting the pill bottle. She didn't know what was inside the bottle, but even if it was just a single pill, she knew it would cost thousands and thousands of Saint Spirit stones.

That sort of money was not something that a woman like her could earn in a few years. It was something that would take her dozens of years to earn.

"Take it," Alex said. "I'm not taking it back."

The woman had no choice. She nodded and thanked him profusely.

"Your majesty, what's going on?" Yao Ning asked. The Elder, Pearl, and Whisker were getting confused slightly by the weirdness of the situation.

Alex tossed the storage bag to the older woman and let her find out herself. He simply sat as the bags were passed around the room and one by one everyone's face went wide in shock. Just like his.

After the storage bag returned to him, he passed along a portion over to the elders and Pearl as well as Whisker. Everyone refused at first, but Alex once again didn't care for their refusal.

He handed them all enough spirit stones to make their eyes pop out and had them shut up.

He took the remaining 600,000 Saint Spirit stones and put them into his storage ring with a feeling of unrealness in his heart.

That was a lot of money for him.

He remembered the time when his pills sold for a couple dozen common spirit stones and those were considered amazing.

And now, he was selling pills that cost tens of millions times more than those pills. It was an amazing feeling.

The door opened again and something was passed along. The woman came up to Alex and handed over a few different pouches.

Alex took them all and knew that they were the storage bags that contained the items they won in today's auction.

Alex looked through them and the very first item he searched for was the Mountain Crushing artifact. noVE.LB-1n

Once he got that artifact, he let the elders check if everything they bought was there or not.

Once that was confirmed, they left the room.
