nSoon, the auction was coming to an end.

nMaximus’ open spending made his wives and children not embarrassed and bought whatever they wanted.

nBut even so, Maximus only spent less than a million high-grade crystals, which is equivalent to 1 billion with his 99% discount.

nThe reason they didn’t spend much is that his wives and children were a little sensible.

nThey didn’t bid on any item surpassing tier 8.

n“Next to our last auction, will be teleportation quotas!” Venice smiled.

n“Finally, here!”

n“I don’t know how many teleportation quotas will be released this time.”

n“I must get it to expand the family.”

n“I don’t know if my money is enough.”

nThe crowd below grew excited as they heard Venice’s said.

nTeleportation quota is the way to get rich and independent.

nAs mentioned earlier, everything in the arcane continent is basically divided.

nUnless you are a tier 9, you would need to work your ass off to earn resources.

nWhether it’s crafting potions or hunting treasure, you need to work for it personally.𝑶𝑣xt.𝕔𝒪𝑚

nAs for planting resources and the like, unless you have a city-building order like the one with Maximus, it’s not possible.

nSo this teleportation quota is the only way out for these ambitious families and factions.

nWith it, they can find land outside the arcane continent, be their own little lord, and still have easy access to the arcane continent.

n“For the first teleportation quota, the starting bid is 1 billion high-grade crystals.”

n“1.1 billion.”

n“1.5 billion.”

n“2 billion.”

n“3 billion!”

n“5 billion!”

n“8 billion.”

n“10 billion!”

n“15 billion!”

nThe bidding became heated all of a sudden.

n“It’s time to move,” Maximus thought, “30 billion!”

n“A VIP bid.”

n“We’re done…”

n“Damn, these VIPs have been holding teleportation quotas every time, leaving us scraps.”

n“40 billion!”

nSeeing that someone was still bidding against him, he smiled.

n“50 billion!” Maximus bid.

n“55 billion!”

n“58 billion!” Maximus said, hiding a cold sweat; this is his all money.

nBut to Maximus’ relief, after a few seconds, there are no other bidders.

n“Is there no one else?”

n“Going once…”

n“Going twice…”

n“Sold to VIP 6!”

n“Good!” Maximus muttered.

nFortunately, there was no other VIP to bid with him; otherwise, he was sure to lose.

n“Congratulations, husband~”

n“Congratulations, Dad!”

nHis wives and children congratulated him.

nAt the same time, they were also excited.

n“With this, we can come to our territory whenever we want,” Maximus said.

n“That’s right! I miss Grandma and Grandpa,” Lyla said excitedly.

n“I don’t know what happened to our previous home,” Lily muttered.

nWhile they were celebrating, the second teleportation quota was bought by a VIP for 59 billion.

nThe third teleportation quota was also bought by a VIP for 60 billion.

nThe fourth is 62 billion…

nBasically, the price hovered between 60 to 70 billion.

nSoon, 10 teleportation quotas were sold, and the people in the VIP room finally stopped bidding.

nIt looked like they also didn’t want to incur the wrath of the public and hoard all the teleportation quotas.

nMaximus expected the competition with the teleportation quotas would not be intense since there was no VIP in the fray.

nBut he was wrong; it became more intense as if the crowd didn’t want money.

n“110 billion!”

n“111 billion!”

n“112 billion!”

n“Damn, these people are insane!”

n“Hey, this is the sorrow of the weak…”

n“After all, it’s our only chance to catch up to those bigwigs.”

nThey knew that they didn’t stand a chance against the VIPs.

nSo instead of incurring their wrath and bidding with them, they endured.

nNow that it was finally their turn, they didn’t hold back a bit.

nGambling all their family property, they had saved for countless generations.

n“114 billion!”

n“115 billion!”

n“Is there any more?”

n“Going once…”

n“Going twice…”

n“Sold to No. 1234!”

nLooking at the tragic victory below, Maximus sighed.

n“Fortunately, I was a core student…”

nMaximus’ status not only brought him monetary benefits but also unparalleled status.

nLooking at the crowd below, he understood that no matter how much money one had without corresponding strength and status.

nIt would just be a castle in a mirage that could disappear at the slightest touch.

n“Only power is left…” Maximus thought as he clenched his fist.

nSoon, the auction finished with the 100th teleportation quota.

nIt looks like the people in the VIP section really restrained themselves, as they only bought ten.

n…

nAfter the auction, the manager from earlier personally brought the items they had won.

n“Here are the items you bought, sir.”

n“Hmm, thanks. You can just deduct my payment from the item I consigned in the auction.”

n“Gladly,” the manager smiled and calculated the total, deducting it from the items Maximus had auctioned.

n“This is the remaining magic crystal,” the manager said, linking it to the pavilion bank account and transferring the remaining money to Maximus.

n13,123,564,238

nThe high-grade crystal was automatically converted to low-grade crystal in value.

n“I got it.”

n“Then I’ll ask, sir, about the teleportation quota.”

n“Where would you like us to set up the teleportation array?”

n“In my territory, the Curse Continent, Sunburnt Plateau,” Maximus said.

n“Then we’ll quickly install the teleportation array in your territory.”

n“It should take a month, and you can use the teleportation array immediately,” the manager smiled.

n“Then I look forward to it.”

n…

nThe next day, after the auction, their lives returned to normal.

nHis wives went to the Celestial Ascent Path and the Arcana Library to train.

nWhile his children dutifully attended school every day.

nAs for Maximus, after he got Doran to cooperate with the people from the Origin Relic Guild.

nNow, he was free and had nothing to do.

nThinking of his weak strength, Maximus decided to start training.

n“Tintin, tell me where the Top Elemental Pool is,” Maximus urged his token little fairy.

nHe only knew about the low Elemental Pool that was all over the City of Arcana, surging like a lake.

nAs for the middle, high, and top elemental pools, he had no time to explore.

n“It’s in the Tower of Arcana Host!” Tintin flew out of the token and joyfully said.

n“Oh, so that’s it,”

n“What about the medium and high Elemental Pools?”

n“They’re all in the small world in the Tower of Arcana.”

n“Low, medium, and high elemental pool, is just the residue that came from the elemental pool” Tintin explained.

n“So the low, medium, and high Elemental Pools are just the wastewater that comes from the Elemental Pool?” Maximus said with a dark face.

nThinking that he and his family had enjoyed themselves in a wastewater.

n“Yes, hehe,” Tintin laughed.

n“Don’t worry, Host, it’s very clean. It’s merely that its aura diminishes, so it tiered down,” Tintin comforted.

n“So that’s it,” Maximus also sighed in relief.

n…

nIn the Tower of Arcana, Elemental World,

nWith the help of Tintin, he quickly navigated his way and came to this small world.

nWith his core student token, there was no cumbersome process; he was directly teleported here.

n“So this is the Elemental World,” Maximus muttered.

nThis small world was filled with an endless expanse of pools with different elements.

n“Such a good place. I should bring my family sometime.”

n“What element should I focus on first?”

nMaximus is currently in Tier 4, which involves refining his mana pathways to an element.

nHowever, while others only required one or two elements, he needed all of them.

nAs his cultivation manual, Gaia’s Primal Genesis becomes more complete with more elements.

n“I should start with fire first,” Maximus muttered.

nThe Fire element is his main attack spell, although he rarely uses it.

nIt should also be easier, as it’s not a rare type of element like time and space.

nWalking through the fire elemental pool, he ran through the Gaia’s Primal Genesis.

nSoon, the liquid fire elements flowed through Maximus, encapsulating him.

nThe fire elemental liquid was like water meeting a super-hot substance, as it evaporated.

nMaximus became extremely focused, forgetting everything as Gaia’s Primal Genesis ran like an instinct.

nAfter a day, the first cycle of the training manual was finished, breaking Maximus’ concentration.

n“Huh,” Maximus breathed with satisfaction.

n“This is what training should feel like.”

nUsually, when he trained, he still needed to sift through the mana he absorbed, purifying it and making it his own.

nBut here, he was just absorbing it like a sponge without doing anything unnecessary.

n“I should completely master the fire element in a year.”

n“This—” Maximus suddenly thought of something.

nHe was not only going to master one element but over a thousand of them.

n“Will it take a thousand years before I advance to Tier 5?” Maximus muttered sadly.

n“What’s wrong, Host?”

n“My training is quite slow,” Maximus said with a sigh.

n“Slow?” Tintin looked puzzled.

nHe just felt that it would only take about a year for Maximus to fully master the fire element and then advance to Tier 5.

nWas that still slow?

n“I’m practicing Gaia’s Primal Genesis.”

n“Gaia’s Primal Genesis?!” Tintin was shocked.

nBased on her database, it was an impossible training manual.

n“You should change your training manual quickly, Host!”

n“Why is that? Although I’m slow, it should be okay.”

n“You don’t know, based on my database, all those who trained with this manual died from life exhaustion.”

n“So?”

n“So hurry and change it so you will not die!”

n“With your talent, Host, reaching Tier 9 should be just a matter of time.”

n“By then, you would be immortal and have everything in the world.”

n“Don’t waste your time on this impossible thing!”

n“How do you know that I will not succeed?”

n“Host, all those who trained with this cultivation manual were once the arrogance of countless epochs.”

n“So far, only three people who trained with this reached Tier 8, but they still died in the end.”

n“Heh, not for me,” Maximus smiled.
