Musa looked at his waist and smiled embarrassingly, “Hehe. Me too. Still, this is the first time to attempt


    something like this and I’m feeling guilty about it. I’m really scared we will identally get the sect


    involved.”


    Stephanie thought about it and said nonchntly, “Nonsense! We just need to be careful about letting


    him know who we are. If he found out, we just have to kill him and that’s the end of the story.”


    “Are you serious?TM Musa smiled bitterly and thought it was a bad idea.


    The look on Stephanie’s face showed that she was quite shocked by Musa’s reaction. “Musa, you’re


    not you. Isn’t this what you have been teaching us? Didn’t you tell us it’s normal for people like us to


    have blood on our hands? Didn’t you tell us to be cruel? Didn’t you tell us those are essential for our


    survival and avoid being killed by the others?”


    Musa smiled bitterly. “That’s necessary when we are in a secret realm. We shouldn’t feel sorry for those


    monsters or people when we are on a treasure hunt. However, it’s different here. This is the mundane


    world. We’re not allowed to act recklessly or do anything we want here. It’s the unwritten rules that


    have been going on for many years. Do you understand?”


    That did not convince Stephanie. “I didn’t say we must kill him. As long as we stay anonymous during


    the process of taking back the cauldron, I don’t have to kill him. I just don’t want him to talk badly and


    ruin our sect’s reputation if he finds out


    where we are from.”


    Musa nodded. “I know what you mean. Anyway, just try not to kill him unless the situation is bad for us.


    He’s a genius, after all.”


    “What? Is he really bidding again? Let’s see what’s he bidding this time.”


    After the small chat, Stephanie heard Severin’s voice again and felt shocked. “Spiritual herb! After


    spending four billion high- rank spiritual stones, he actually has more on him!”


    “I can tell he’s a very good alchemist. How nice it would be if he could join our sect. I’m sure it’s going


    to bring prosperity to our sect if he joins. And he’s also the owner of the cauldron,” Musa said.


    Stephanie replied with a bitter smile, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. We have already promised Samir


    that we’re getting the cauldron for him. He’s not going to be happy if he doesn’t get the cauldron and


    we ended up inviting Severin who has the


    cauldron to join our sect.”


    Then she continued, “He’s going to know which sect we are from if we invite him. What if he refuses to


    join? Are we going to steal the cauldron or not? If we go on with our n, that means we have to kill


    him.”


    After some deep thinking, Musa sighed helplessly. “Forget about that then. Let’s do what you said. He’s


    really very gifted in akhemy. Seeing how he remains in the mundane world, maybe that’s enough to tell


    that he’s a man who years for power and money in this mundane world. I don’t think it’s easy to


    convince him to join the sect.”

    After a while, the bidding went on very smoothly for Severin. He managed to get more than twenty


    third–grade spiritual herbs and also some fourth–grade low–rank and medium–rank spiritual herbs.


    “Is he here to stock up his inventory?” Jeremy asked while feeling speechless.


    The total amount of spiritual stones Severin had spent came up to about 6 billion spiritual stones. Other


    than the cauldron, he spent the rest of the spiritual stones on spiritual herbs.


    “Alright. That’s the end of today’s auction. Thank you everyone foring. Please have a nice day.”
