Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

"Hey, long time no see, Happy New Year!" Wang Mu said with a smile, his tone just like in his previous life.

Nicola listened, the Emperor's way of speaking was still as peculiar as ever, even his greetings were somewhat unconventional, "You're looking for me, have you already found that one?"

Wang Mu smiled and nodded, about to speak, when Nicola excitedly said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere. It might be a little inconvenient here."

Wang Mu thought it made sense; the blood of the Frost Dragon was no ordinary substance, and there must be quite a few thieves. So he followed Nicola to the backyard.

Once inside, he listened carefully to the sounds and, finding no one outside, took out the dragon blood.

Nicola recognized the blood of the Frost Dragon in the bottle and burst into tears of joy. "Your Majesty, I don't know how to thank you enough!" she said, about to bow down.

She knew that the Frost Dragon was a level nine magical beast, which even level nine experts would find difficult to obtain. In fact, she only had a glimmer of hope for the young man. In the past, she would ask extraordinary people for help, but she had never obtained one over the years. Who would have thought that the emperor would actually bring it to her today?

Wang Mu quickly used his internal force to lift him up and said with a smile, "I already promised you before, and we're friends now. You've helped me a lot before, so there's no need to thank me."

Nicola wiped away her tears. "Young man, you're a really interesting person, and I'm so glad I met you."

"This is called fate. Besides, I was just a poor kid back then, and you still dared to get me a black gold card. At that time, I didn't know the significance of this card."

Nicola laughed. She didn't know how she had ended up befriending the boy in front of her. At that time, he seemed to know nothing about the emperor, not even the magic core, but he was incredibly skilled.

"Let's not talk about that anymore. If you need anything from me in the future, just let me know and I'll definitely do it."

"Okay, I'll definitely need your help with a lot of things in the future," Wang Mu said without any hesitation.

"Young man, wait for me, I'm going to find a bottle," Nicola said.

"What? I have it here." Wang Mu shook the bottle in his hand.

"There's so much, I only need three drops."

Wang Mu laughed and said, "This dragon blood should be used to save people, right? Take it all. You can keep the rest for now."

This was a testament to trust. Nicola stared at the boy for a long time without saying a word; one could imagine her feelings at that moment.

Although the two were familiar with each other, this kind of trust was not something that could be given to just anyone. If the dragon blood in their hands were left outside, who knows how many heads would be broken, or how many people would die if it were leaked.

"Alright, don't overthink it, just put it away. I need your help with something."

Nicola quickly put away the dragon blood. At this moment, Wang Mu took out several weapons he had obtained from the ancient battlefield from his spatial ring.

Nicola was taken aback. She was surprised that the Emperor had acquired a spatial ring at some point. She didn't remember him having one before. In fact, there were only two such spatial rings in the entire family.

But what surprised her even more were the weapons in front of her. They were clearly extraordinary. As a businesswoman who traded goods, she naturally recognized these weapons.

"Young man, where did you get this? It's quite valuable."

"Really?" Wang Mu was overjoyed to hear this.

Nicola laughed and said, "Young man, I'm not lying to you. Each of these items is worth millions of gold coins. Although they look a bit old, they should all be weapons of powerful people, at least at the level of a sub-saint."

Knowing the other party wouldn't lie, Wang Mu was immediately delighted. He had dozens of weapons like these in his spatial ring, and even more than twenty better ones, along with spiritual energy items and notes. If he sold them all...

Thinking of this, he saw mountains of gold shining before his eyes, almost blinding him.

"Young man, if you trust me, leave these things with me first. My family also has an auction house. After I inform the family head, I will auction them on your behalf, how about that?"

"That's wonderful! I couldn't be happier!" Wang Mu said joyfully. "I have more here."

"There's more?" Nicola asked, quite surprised.

“There’s something even better than this.”

After Wang Mu finished speaking, he took out a large sword.

"A sacred artifact!" Nicola screamed immediately.

This is something that only exists in books and is mentioned by powerful figures. Although it exists on the continent, it is rarely shown to people, and even she has never seen it.

She was slightly alarmed. "Young man, quickly put this away."

Wang Mu couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Why?"

“This is not like the previous ones. This is a sacred artifact. Even if my family auction house were to auction it, we would have to make some preparations. Otherwise, it would implicate our entire family. If we lose this sacred artifact, I would have no way to explain it to you.”

Wang Mu was very frustrated. When he needed money, he couldn't sell his treasures. He had no choice but to put them away. Seeing that there were only five or six weapons on the ground, he took out a few more, including some spiritual energy items.

Nicola was secretly alarmed and stole a glance at him, wondering if this emperor had gone to plunder the empire or the sect. After all, these kinds of things are rare in duchies, and as for kingdoms, having a few is already considered good.

At this moment, Wang Mu said, "How about we stop here for now?"

"Okay, okay, that's already a lot."

Wang Mu nodded. He had initially intended to give Nicola a spatial ring, but then he thought that this might actually harm Nicola. If others found out, her life might be in danger, and she might be secretly harmed instead.

As for these weapons and items, he believed Nicola had a way to deal with them; perhaps that sacred artifact really wasn't something that could be casually shown to others.

He said, "Okay, I'll be going now."

"Are you leaving now?"

Nicola was startled again; the boy's actions were truly beyond her comprehension and impossible to fathom.

"Are you going to treat me to dinner?" Wang Mu teased, and before Nicola could react, he added, "After we sell all this stuff, I'll treat you to a big meal."

Nicola had been away for some time, managing over a dozen shops in the Illusion Moon Empire, and also overseeing the current weapons auction. She said, "Then I won't keep you any longer, little brother. I'll go find you myself after I'm done and thank you for your great kindness today."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"I'll send it to you."

The two arrived on the street, and several carriages passed by. Looking at the carriage in front, it was luxurious and tall, clearly belonging to a wealthy patron, and the two couldn't help but take another look.

"It's him!"

Wang Mu turned around and saw the surprised look on Nicola's face, so he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

After the carriages passed, Nicola whispered, "The young master with the jade-faced face in the first carriage, known as Little Bu, has an unusual background. The merchant group he belongs to is even more extraordinary. They secretly rob and plunder, and do some shady things."

"You mean the Moshik merchant caravan?"

"Young man, you also know about the Moshik Merchant Guild?"

Wang Mu was about to speak when he heard a faint voice from a dozen meters away.

A voice whispered, "Haven't you found Belpanta's exact location yet?"

"Not yet, sir."
