Full-Time Mage: Double Return, Niu Ma Mo Fan

Chapter 10 Radiant Thunder and Gale, Maid Sisters!

Even for someone from a prominent family like Zhao Manyan, the resources available are not unlimited.

Things like Spirit-level Elemental Seeds and Warrior-level Essences are extremely precious, and noble families wouldn't give them to these younger generations for no reason.

In any case, Zhao Manyan had never obtained anything of such high value in all his years in the aristocratic family.

Not long after, Zhao Manyan ran out of the appraisal hall.

Generally, once the auction list is finalized, it cannot be changed. However, the competition for items like Warrior-level Soul Essence is even fiercer than for Spirit Seeds. Which participant in the auction wouldn't want such an item to appear?
“I had that master craftsman appraise them, and he said that the three essences you provided were all better than the last, and raising them to over 20 million or even 30 million would not be a problem.”

Zhao Manyan said with an envious look.

"As for your Bulwark Shield, Brother Meng, it's probably worth two million. It won't be up for auction, so I'll have someone buy it for you directly."

"it is good."

Just as the three were about to enter the auction hall to admire its magnificent splendor, they ran into Bai Zangfeng face to face.

The person whom Mo Fan defeated in one move during the beast-fighting competition, Mo Fan still can't remember his name.

Enemies meeting again, they started exchanging words.

Meanwhile, Meng Qiuzhen, standing to the side, was lost in thought.

Ever since waking up in the infirmary that time, Meng Qiuzhen sleepwalks into that world every day.

He was forced into it each time, but fortunately, he was mentally strong and could break free on his own.

At the same time, he also felt that the cultivation speed brought by the Yin-Yang Diagram was slowly recovering.

By now, it is certain that the dream is related to the Yin-Yang symbol.

Perhaps we'll only get the answer when it's fully awake.

In the hall, under the bewildered gazes of the three, Bai Zangfeng uttered a harsh threat: he would take revenge on Mo Fan the day he entered the main campus.

In fact, Mo Fan didn't know him at all, while Zhao Manyan didn't leave directly because of the Bai family.

As for Meng Qiuzhen, he was distracted the moment Bai Zangfeng appeared.

……

The lightning-type spirit seed was brought out shortly after the auction began.

The Zhao family didn't waste any words. Regardless of what price others offered, they adopted the attitude that they had contracted out this spirit-level lightning seed.

They aggressively acquired the lightning-type spirit seed 'Qianjun' for a price of 2800 million!
While Mo Fan was overjoyed, Meng Qiuzhen opened the system message.

[Ding! Mo Fan received Qian Jun, returning the top-grade lightning-type spirit seed 'Radiant Thunder' and the top-grade wind-type spirit seed 'Storm Wind'!]

Lightning Radiance: 3x effect. The effect is that lightning will have the attribute of light, making it effective against dark and evil creatures.

Lanfeng: 3x, the effect is a coordinated strangulation, and it is a perfect match for the wind disc.

Both are great!

It is absolutely the best among spirit seeds!
If it were put on the market, it would probably fetch an astronomical price!

But Meng Qiuzhen is not needed now, and may be difficult to use in the future.

After all, once he reaches a higher level, there are Soul Seeds and Heavenly Seeds waiting for him.

Moreover, given how extremely scarce such a rare resource as top-grade spirit seeds is, who would bother to sell them on the market if they weren't short of money?

Money can be renewed, but unique, top-quality spiritual seeds are hard to find again.

At the auction, many things appeared that the two of them had never seen before, and Zhao Manyan would explain them to them as well.

"The next item will likely interest many people as well. It's an egg of a blue-velvet giant bird, which will have the strength of a warrior general when it matures. Its starting price is 7000 million, and bidding is now open!"

The moment the Blue Velvet Giant Sparrow's egg was revealed, the entire auction hall erupted in excitement!

Despite the price being as high as 7000 million, there were countless bidders!

"Mo Fan, you're also a summoner, don't you have any plans to get yourself a pet?"

Zhao Manyan asked Mo Fan, who was standing next to him.

He was unaware that Meng Qiuzhen had also awakened a summoning ability.

Since awakening, Meng Qiuzhen has never shown his spiritual or summoning abilities to outsiders.

Currently, the lightning and water magic systems, which possess top-tier spirit seeds, are sufficient.

Unless faced with major difficulties or dangers, he probably wouldn't even remember that he possesses mind-based and summoning abilities.
"Do you think I look like someone who can afford something like this?" Mo Fan gave a wry smile.

There are only two types of mages who can control beasts: those who use mind magic and those who use summoning magic.

The intermediate-level spell in the summoning school is—Contract Summoning!
Dimensional summoning is a temporary process; the summoned creature continuously consumes magical energy during the process, and the longer it fights on the battlefield, the more magical energy it consumes.

The one summoned by the contract is the true son. Once the contract is successful, the demon is tamed and will accompany you for life!

Meng Qiuzhen was quite interested in the summoning system, but unfortunately, his summoning system had a problem, and he couldn't even use dimensional summoning, which was equivalent to having his magic system crippled.

The bidding process was quick.

The spirit seed that the Zhao family promised to seek truth from appeared after the blue velvet giant sparrow egg.

It was also forcefully taken over by the Zhao family.

It is a fire-type spirit seed named 'Phantom Flame'!
The boost and side effects are good for most people, but Meng Qiuzhen lost interest after hearing about them.

One reason was that he lacked fire element, and the other was that the seeds were too weak, at least compared to the two top-grade spirit seeds he had just obtained. However, he didn't want the spirit seeds for his own refinement; he had another purpose.

In the original story, the coastline rises, causing many magical resources to increase in price.

Among them, the price of elemental varieties has increased by nearly double!

Now that he has more funds at his disposal, Meng Qiuzhen plans to stockpile a batch of elemental seeds and other magical resources, and make a fortune once the coastline rises!
The consigned spirit was quickly brought out.

Mo Fan's spirit was raised to a staggering 2900 million.

This made him feel happier than ever before.

I've never seen so much money in my life!
The buyer was none other than the Bai family, the same family that had just made those harsh remarks.

Having obtained what they wanted, the Bai family members hurriedly departed.

Then, the two spirits that Meng Qiuzhen consigned were put up for auction, one of which sold for 3400 million and the other for 3500 million!
The quality of the essence is ridiculously high, so the price is naturally driven up very high.

Meng Qiu sincerely exclaimed, "The products produced by the system are always top-notch!"

A Netherworld Shield appeared at the auction. Its strength could easily withstand a full-force attack from a warrior-level creature, and in critical moments, it could release spikes from the shield to deliver a powerful piercing blow.

Mo Fan bought the Netherworld Shield. There were quite a few people vying for it, but Mo Fan ultimately bought it for 1700 million.

This time, Meng Qiuzhen did not receive a refund, which gave him a starting point to understand the system.

We'll review and organize the rules for system refunds when we get back.

"Should we buy a demon-slaying tool?"

"Do you have ten million good demon-slaying tools?"

"Take warrior-level creatures for example. The demon-slaying tools that can truly injure warrior-level creatures often cost around 20 million, and those with other additional effects will be even more expensive."

"I'm out of money, so I'll save some for my pet."

After chatting with Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan looked at Meng Qiuzhen.

After discovering that he was selling two spirit essences, I didn't buy anything else.

Didn't they just receive 7100 million?

Now that I have this rare opportunity, how can I resist buying a few items?
It's not that Meng Qiuzhen doesn't want to spend money; it's just that he already has a shield, armor, and boots, and his strength is even greater.

He didn't know what to buy.

He looked down on some special magical artifacts, considering them useless to him.

The system's reward was so good that it raised his standards to a whole new level.

"No need. If spending tens of millions only manages to cut down a few generals, it's better to do it myself. If there are good winged magic tools, then we can consider it."

Meng Qiuzhen expressed his needs.

What he currently lacks is mobile-related capabilities.

Mo Fan, who was sitting next to him, was stunned when he heard this. He had been watching the auction items on the stage and almost forgot that Meng Qiuzhen was sitting next to him.

When the topic of Winged Magic Tools came up, the Netherworld Shield he had just bought suddenly lost its appeal.

Zhao Manyan was speechless. What did he mean by "just chop down generals"? Anything that could harm these creatures was precious, okay?

If it were someone else, he would definitely think it was an excuse for not being able to afford it.

But Meng Qiuzhen is an incredibly powerful being who can summon a Thunder Kirin to instantly kill the Scaled Mother Demon!
Although Mo Fan helped gather lightning at the time, there's probably no one else in the entire country at that age who could condense something like that.

"I'll keep an eye out for you, but you should be prepared that Winged Magic Tools don't usually enter the market; they're mostly consumed within the various factions."

"Okay, let me know when it's in stock."

Meng Qiuzhen asked Zhao Manyan to keep an eye out for her.

"If you're rich, you can keep a few canaries. I'll introduce you to some mixed-race girls..."

"Ahem, that's not really appropriate, but how can I refuse your invitation, Lao Zhao? How about a few blondes? Lao Meng, are you coming?"

Their eyes fell on Meng Qiuzhen.

He suddenly remembered what Ms. Ruan Ya had said in the infirmary that day.

I won't go this time.

"Hey Lao Meng, something's not right with you. You'd refuse something like this??"

"I think he's a kept man at home."

Meng Qiuzhen remained silent.

Zhao Manyan and Mo Fan were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

It seems like I was right!
……

The auction ended, and the three parted ways.

Meng Qiuzhen returned to Jinyuan Apartment, but there was no time to mourn the canary.

Inside the house, he saw two sisters dressed as maids.
"Welcome home, Master~~~~"
