"Don't talk so much nonsense, just give me your price!" a young man in luxurious clothing impatiently exclaimed. Bexia remembered that he seemed to have come with the Yaro Empire delegation, possibly the son of some general, and had a quite arrogant personality.

"Since the gentleman has spoken, I won't dawdle anymore. I want to sell this item through an auction, preferably through barter, preferably with a meditation technique," the middle-aged man stated his idea. He had been shouting here for so long, attracting so many people, all in order to maximize his own interests.

"Have you really not seen the contents of this scroll?" someone questioned, because it was obvious that a valuable item was being offered for exchange, which raised suspicions.

"I definitely wouldn't deceive everyone here. Look, there are magic restrictions on it. Truth be told, I am unable to break these restrictions, otherwise I wouldn't be offering it for sale. After all, it is at least a champion's legacy. Everyone, please take a look!" the middle-aged man explained the reason, and he even activated the magic restriction on it, allowing everyone present to have a clear look, proving that what he said was true.

"How about I offer an advanced meditation technique in exchange?" the young man in luxurious clothing spoke up, but this advanced meditation technique, although valuable, was somewhat lesser in comparison to a champion's legacy. Therefore, it wasn't long before someone raised the bid.

"How about an advanced meditation technique and one hundred thousand gold coins?" a businessman in a gentleman's suit with glasses said.

"I offer an advanced meditation technique and an advanced martial technique!"

...

For a time, there were many bidders because this kind of grand gathering only happened once every fifty years. Many people had prepared well before coming, so they were quite wealthy. Their bids quickly escalated until someone shouted out an offer of a master-level meditation technique. This suppressed most of the other voices.

A master-level meditation technique was absolutely valuable. It was not surprising for someone with some strength to offer an advanced meditation technique, but an Extreme meditation technique wasn't easy to obtain, even if you had the money.

Trading an unknown item left behind by a champion for an Extreme meditation technique was roughly equivalent in terms of value. Moreover, if the grade of this martial technique was unclear and it wasn't a champion-level technique, then it would be considered a loss because meditation techniques were much more valuable than other martial techniques of the same level.

"The spiritual power on this scroll is very powerful. Although there isn't much left, its resilience is stronger than that undead from the last time!" Christine took a few glances and whispered to Bexia.

By "undead," Bexia naturally understood that it referred to Ruge on the ghost ship. The strength of that guy's spiritual power was evident to all, and he had already reached the limit of a champion. If one followed this deduction, would it mean that this scroll was left by a ruler who surpassed champions?

If that were the case, then the value of this martial technique scroll would be completely different, as there was a huge disparity between champions and rulers. This existence left behind something that even champions couldn't fathom.

As for why Christine was able to sense it, Bexia wasn't surprised at all. Because the divinity in her body specialized in spiritual souls, it was the very source of how she had become her current form.

Originally, Bexia wasn't very interested in this Step by Step Lotus, but Christine's words made him brighten up. Since it was something left behind by a monarch, he wanted to see what it was.

Furthermore, Bexia learned some things through Bor. The so-called "godly skills" on the surface were actually skills that surpassed champions and reached the level of monarchs. For anyone below a monarch, becoming a monarch was no different from becoming a god.

Competition had reached its peak. The highest was the Extreme Meditation Technique, and the others were just adding more coins as competition chips. However, with the presence of the Extreme Meditation Technique, 99% of the people there shook their heads, unable to participate.

"I offer the Extreme Meditation Technique, and one set of accompanying Extreme Martial Skills!" Bexia checked his subspace and shouted.

As soon as he spoke, the scene fell silent because the price was too high, especially since it included the accompanying martial skills. This combination maximized the value of both, even surpassing the value of three or four Extreme Meditation Techniques.

Bexia was actually quite helpless. He didn't have that much money, and from what he got from siren Molde, there were only three sets of meditation techniques. One was at the champion level, and the other had three sets of accompanying martial skills. This was the lowest value among them.

Bexia was stared at by many people. Some were about to ask if he was joking, but when they saw the two scrolls in his hand, they instinctively shut their mouths. The magical power on the scrolls was easy to sense, indicating that they were high-level skill scrolls that couldn't be found elsewhere.

"Is there anyone offering a higher price than mine?" Bexia ignored the gazes of these people and scanned the surroundings. He didn't like trouble, and his price was high enough, so the possibility of a direct acquisition was great.

"If no one raises the bid, then this Technique of Movement belongs to this gentleman!" The middle-aged man who was auctioning happily accepted Bexia's offer. In fact, one scroll of Extreme Meditation Technique had already reached his bottom line. Now, with the additional martial skills, this offer greatly exceeded his expectations, and he couldn't wait to accept it at his learning store.

However, he still had some professional ethics and didn't forget to ask for the opinions of the people around him. Of course, he still had the idea of whether someone would offer a higher price, but this idea was destined to be in vain because no one would offer a higher price. In their eyes, this scroll of Technique of Movement was not worth this price.

Of course, most of the people here were just watching the excitement. Although they were very surprised that Bexia brought out the accompanying Extreme Meditation Technique and martial skills, they didn't feel any personal connection to them. At most, they would have an additional bragging event after they returned home. They probably would say that Bexia was naive and spent a large amount of money on something that didn't match its value in their eyes.

There was no response from the surroundings. The middle-aged man walked excitedly to Bexia's side, looking at the young man carrying the girl on his back and lowering his posture, because he knew that someone who could bring out such things was definitely not an ordinary person, but someone with a very high status and power.

"This young master, this scroll of 'Step by Step Lotus' is yours!"
