I picked up the ring and looked through the content, surprise was clear on my face. This was a massive buttload of materials for crafting puppets. He already had given me a huge chunk before when I was back at his sect, but this is a mountain compared to what he gave me last time.
Not to mention there were even more metals that I have yet to use but could only read about from the Lord of Lord's pagoda.
I nodded to the Red Sun and placed the ring in front of me.
"I'll withdraw from this bidding, I have more important matters to handle," the Darkest Sun said.
"I'll also withdraw, but don't worry they'll give you a good price for that information," Shen Bao.
So, three were out, that leaves five. The Red sun already had given me a good starting Price that I can use to gauge the value of what others could give me in return for the information.
The Cryptic Sun looked around and threw his retained a ring. The retainer who still doesn't like me from earlier, placed the ring rather roughly on the table next to me.
I didn't even take a look at it as I waited for the others.
This didn't slip the retainer's eyes, hostile as he may be to me, he still wants to look like the loyal lapdog to his master.
"Are you not satisfied with what the lord had given you?" his tone was rather loud and rude.
"No one here cares about your existence, go back to your place and shut up, and if you keep interrupting me, then I'll consider returning this ring and refraining from trading with your master," I mocked.
The Blue Sun looked at me and sent me a Divine Sense message, "My price for that knowledge, regardless of whatever any of them had offered you, I'm willing to double it. No, triple it," she said.
That was interesting. If she were able to triple the value of materials given to me by the Red Sun, then that will be pretty damn amazing for me. I could make even more puppets enough to fully recover the loss inside the Bastion.
"Not only that, I'm willing to enter the Bastion again with you if you still want to access it," she said. Your next journey awaits at m v|l-e'-novelhall.net
"I don't think that's a wise idea," I said.
"I know, but we're not using our real bodies. I have many methods to access the Bastion now that you are the rightful owner and were able to enter it with ease. With both of us inside, we can study it and learn more from the world that has long been gone without it ever affecting our real bodies.
I can give you a body that you can possess, while I'll use one of my many clones, then we can both study the interior of the Bastion with ease. Not to mention we wouldn't be affected whatsoever in case of death."
"Sounds interesting," I said. I didn't want to mention to her that I could already use my other avatar, Shen Mo's body to do what she is talking about. But, Shen Mo's body needs my Dark Soul, it is the only thing it can use. And if he were to be lost inside the Bastion, I'd lose a huge chunk of my Soul to the Rakshasas I wouldn't want that.
"I'll consider it seriously once I see what preparations you have ready for us. And since you're the one who needs this knowledge more, I'm more inclined on giving it to you, but I have to see what the Cryptic Sun has to offer lest we end up in a death feud relationship with him."
I grabbed the ring from the Cryptic Sun and took a look at it.
I was expecting something disappointing to be honest, just enough for it not to be worth the value of the knowledge and enough for him to get a reason to be angry at me and cause a problem. But no, there were tons of Saint Qi stones and Origin Qi stones to fill a small hill. Not to mention a large load of cultivation manuals that had no real value to me but are worth a lot for other cultivators.
Basically nothing but monetary value items that I can exchange for whatever I want.
