Very quickly, the three pieces of Thunderwing Tiger materials were all auctioned off.

They sold for a total of 1.85 million gold coins.

Next were some ordinary dark gold equipment, as well as some other materials.

These were of almost no use to Lucien.

Therefore, he did not participate in this round of the auction.

About half an hour later, just as Lucien was feeling drowsy, the auctioneer on stage said, "Next up is our finale item for this event."

Hearing this, Lucien instantly perked up.

The auctioneer unveiled the second-to-last red cloth, and a thousand-year peach wood sword appeared before everyone.

The auctioneer slowly opened his mouth and said, "This is a Level 1 dark gold equipment. I will show you the specific attributes of this equipment."

The screen on the stage displayed the attributes of the thousand-year peach wood sword.

Thousand-Year Peach Wood Sword (dark gold)

Level Requirement: 1

Attack +30, Magic Power +60

Stamina +20, Spirit +20

Special Attribute 1: +50% damage to Undead and Soul-type entities.

Special Attribute 2: +20% Soul Fire Talisman damage.

Special Attribute 3: Luck +2

After everyone finished looking at the attributes, some sighed in disappointment, while others cheered with joy.

"Why isn’t there a thunderwing wind tiger whip? I came to this auction today just for the thunderwing wind tiger whip!"

"Without the thunderwing wind tiger whip, how am I supposed to restore my virility? This trash auction, I shouldn’t have come!"

"I’m only half the man I used to be. I was counting on this thunderwing wind tiger whip, thinking I could make that tigress submissive in the future, but now it’s all over."

However, for those in crafting professions, each one was incredibly tempted.

"Good stuff! With this equipment, my success rate for forging equipment will increase by at least 20% in the future."

"Last time I forged dark gold equipment, I was just a little bit short. If I had this piece of equipment, it would definitely have been a success."

"I happen to be preparing to forge a piece of Immortal Grade equipment. This equipment that increases Luck is exactly what I need."

Watching the crowd below discussing, the auctioneer said, "It seems many people are interested in this equipment, so I won’t waste any more words."

"The starting bid for this thousand-year peach wood sword is 1 million, with each increment no less than 100,000."

"I bid 1.5 million."

"2 million."

"2.2 million."

"2.4 million. Everyone, please do me a favor. I’m currently forging an Immortal Grade item, and with this equipment, I can increase my success rate by at least 10%."

"Heh, 2.6 million. So what if you’re forging an Immortal Grade item? I need to craft Immortal Grade potions, which can permanently increase attributes."

"2.8 million. Chunfeng Restaurant wants this weapon."

"Mia, you just bought the Thunderwing Tiger meat. What do you need this weapon for? Are you going to use this thousand-year peach wood sword to stir-fry? Hahaha! I bid 3 million."

In just a short while, the price of this thousand-year peach wood sword, which was completely useless to Lucien, had risen to 3 million.

Amidst everyone’s scramble, the price of this weapon finally settled at 4 million gold coins.

The auction ended, and Lucien went backstage, where the staff traded him 5.265 million gold coins.

Seeing this, Lucien felt a wave of envy; making money in this auction house was just too easy.

This auction alone made at least over a million gold coins today.

If he had the chance in the future, Lucien would love to open an auction house himself.

With a huge sum of money in hand, Lucien prepared to head to the blacksmith shop.

He would first enhance his gear to +10, as he had just collected some enhancement stones recently.

However, he had only walked halfway.

"System Announcement: Because the Gods Guild, Dragon God Guild, Years Guild, Tangge Guild, and other guilds have been arbitrarily collecting management fees and entrance fees from the people of the Nine Provinces, and monopolizing the wild training grounds for the Chosen One, etc., causing public outrage, the Imperial City has issued a special order. All members of the Nine Great Guilds will have the prices of items purchased in all major cities, including the Imperial City, increased tenfold. All players attacking members of the Nine Great Guilds in the nine major cities will no longer be arrested by the Law Enforcement Squad."

Hearing this news, Lucien was stunned on the spot.

"This... isn’t this too ruthless?"

It was a direct system announcement, and an order personally issued by the Imperial City.

How exactly did these Nine Great Guilds offend the people of the Imperial City?

Isn’t the Imperial City only accessible to those above Level 50?

At this moment, Lucien suddenly remembered what he had said to City Lord Li a few days ago.

Could it be that City Lord Li did this?

If that’s the case, from now on, this major city will no longer be a sanctuary for these Nine Great Guilds.

Then, whenever he sees them, he won’t have to worry about being in the major city and being unable to take action freely.

However, this kind of thing did not happen in his previous life.

The butterfly effect brought about by his rebirth was a bit too large.

Besides Lucien, countless players were also stunned in place.

"How did these Nine Great Guilds offend the Native Residents here?"

"As expected of our Nine Great Guilds, they actually dared to offend the Native Residents. That’s truly amazing."

"Sigh, it’s unfair. Why are the Native Residents targeting our Long Country forces?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Let’s see what these Nine Great Guilds will do now. With this order, I’m afraid the Nine Great Guilds won’t have a place to stay anymore."

"It seems our chance has arrived. This time, the Nine Great Guilds are finished, and we can form our own guilds."

"Hahaha, these Nine Great Guilds have been acting too arrogantly these past few years. They’re finished now! To think they dared to offend the Native Residents."

"Does this mean I won’t have to pay fees to enter and leave the city anymore?"

Among the crowd of players, some were happy while others were worried.

Originally, due to Lucien’s appearance, the prestige of the Nine Great Guilds had already dropped significantly.

And this time, the intervention of the Native Residents made the Nine Great Guilds lose all prestige.

If they enter the major city and want to resupply, they might not even be able to afford the prices of various items alone.

Moreover, they have to worry at any time about whether someone will ambush them.

After all, those who ambush the Nine Great Guilds will not face any punishment.

And regarding what they have done over the past few years, who knows how many people they have offended.

Those people originally bowed their heads because of the power of the Nine Great Guilds and had to accept their fate.

But now, with the support of the Native Residents, who knows how long these Nine Great Guilds can survive.
