Han Yu smiled and said, “The Abyssal Darkdragon is the Demon God Emperor’s own race. Historically, the Abyssal Darkdragon race has always valued their magic crystals. Even if we, the Alliance, obtain them, they will definitely retaliate strongly and try to snatch the magic crystals back. Therefore, magic crystals of the Abyssal Darkdragon race are Emperor-level tasks in our Demon Hunt Squad. Each one obtained earns a huge reward of 300,000 merit points. This time, we obtained ten at once, which is pure luck and the captain’s resourcefulness. After discussion, the Alliance High Command decided to exchange five of our magic crystals for one million merit points. And we still have five more, which means our total assets are as high as 2.5 million merit points.”

“Two hundred and fifty, two hundred and fifty it is!” Lin Xin burst into laughter. Cheers once again echoed through the villa. Even Cai’er couldn’t help but excitedly grab Long Haochen’s arm. Until this moment, both she and Long Haochen felt like they were in a dream.

You must know that they are still a General-level Demon Hunt Squad. For them, completing a mission that earns 10,000 or 20,000 merit points is already a lot. More than two million merit points – if they keep completing General-level tasks, they probably wouldn’t earn that much in thirty years! But now, such a vast amount of wealth is laid out before their eyes.

Merit points are not gold coins, but they are much more useful. Possessing such a large number of merit points means their strength will undoubtedly undergo a transformation.

Long Haochen smiled and said, “Sima, don’t be stingy. I estimate that after your Light Force Pill is amplified, its power will definitely exceed that of ordinary Legendary equipment. So, let’s use the best materials. Later, have Lin Xin accompany you to find that alchemist master, and we’ll start reforging it now. Yuan Yuan, go to the Saint Alliance Grand Auction and inquire about the situation of Void Silver Crystal. See when it will be auctioned. No matter how much it costs, we’ll buy it for you. If I remember correctly, in the Holy City, the items in the Grand Auction can be directly purchased with merit points at a ratio of ten to one. That is, we should be able to bid for a piece of Void Silver Crystal for around 100,000 to 200,000 merit points. If there are more Void Silver Crystals, buy them all.”

Lin Xin chuckled, “Boss, you’re really rich and generous! What about the remaining merit points?”

Long Haochen pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s keep the remaining merit points for now. If there are good things at the Grand Auction, we can also buy them by the way. Right now, the priority is to enhance your elixirs, Lin Xin. Decide what materials you need to buy, and don’t be stingy. Our strength is temporarily impossible to reach the King-level Demon Hunt Squad level. After we advance to the Commander-level Demon Hunt Squad, we will go to the third floor of the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center. Strive to use these merit points to equip everyone with a Legendary equipment. This way, we’ll have a greater chance of success when we continue to complete missions.”

“Captain, hooray!” Cheers rang out for the third time. Every member of a Commander-level Demon Hunt Squad owning a piece of Legendary equipment – even Demon Hunt Squads at the King-level could hardly imagine that! Many King-level Demon Hunt Squads may not even be able to equip everyone with one.

In fact, Long Haochen knew very well that the Alliance was helping them by giving them so many merit point rewards this time. Although he obtained the ten Abyssal Darkdragon magic crystals, could he have done it without so many powerful Saint Alliance experts at the time? Therefore, handing over five was absolutely necessary.

The Alliance is now converting all five magic crystals into merit points for them. It seems like they are giving them 500,000 less, but this is already a great help to them. That’s a million merit points! Even if it’s not enough to exchange for a piece of Legendary equipment for each of them, it’s not far off. With these one million merit points, they can at least stay in the villa and cultivate diligently for a year without needing to go out and complete tasks.

What Long Haochen didn’t know was that the Alliance gave them so many merit points to minimize their mission-taking during this stage. The Child of Light and the Saint Daughter of Samsara were simply too sensitive. Especially after going to Zhennan Pass this time, Long Haochen encountered deadly danger twice in a row, making Han Qian afraid. If Long Haochen or Cai’er were to perish midway before they grew up, it would be a fatal blow to the Saint Alliance. Therefore, by giving them so many merit points, they naturally wouldn’t need to rush to complete missions. These merit points could also further enhance their strength. This was the Alliance’s resource-oriented cultivation of them. Other Demon Hunt Squads could not even dream of it. It could be said that the other five members of the General-level 21st Demon Hunt Squad were benefiting from Long Haochen and Cai’er.

Everyone went to their tasks. In the following month, they spent some time in the Tower of Eternity and some time cultivating their spiritual energy on their own.

Sima Xian’s Light Force Pill had already been sent for forging, and according to the news from the Grand Auction, Wang Yuan Yuan’s Void Silver Crystal would soon be auctioned.

During this month, Long Haochen and Cai’er mainly focused on adapting to their new Spiritual Stove and the coordination between the two of them, while also cultivating their spiritual energy. Apart from Long Haochen, everyone else had also increased their spiritual energy to 5,000 in the fourth and fifth levels of the Tower of Eternity. As a result, the cultivation of everyone in the General-level 21st Demon Hunt Squad was raised to above 5,000 Internal Spiritual Power.

“Captain, the Void Silver Crystal auction will be tomorrow. Should Yuan Yuan and I go, or should we all go together?” Lin Xin came to Long Haochen and Cai’er’s room to ask.

Long Haochen thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go together. If we encounter anything that everyone needs, we can just bid on it directly. It’s been a long time since we’ve been to the auction house, and everyone has worked hard this month. Let’s just take it as a way to relax.”

“Okay.”

The Saint Alliance Grand Auction House in the Holy City is undoubtedly one of the largest auction houses in the entire Alliance. If the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center is the place with the most treasures in the entire Alliance, then the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House is the second-richest place in the Alliance, and everyone has the right to purchase items there.

Sometimes, things that are not available in the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center can be found here. More importantly, there are no level restrictions in the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House. Anyone has the right to purchase treasures of any level. This is not possible in the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center. Only by reaching the corresponding Demon Hunt Squad level can one buy better things. After all, in the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center, the prices of all items are extremely low.

To give a simple example, Long Haochen’s superb Abyssal Darkdragon magic crystal earned a reward of 300,000 merit points for completing a task in the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Tower. Buying it from the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center, if it’s in stock, would cost only 350,000 merit points.

However, if it were sold at the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House, the starting bid would probably exceed five million gold coins, and the final transaction price could likely break ten million gold coins. This is the difference in value between the two. Therefore, generally speaking, unless a situation arises where the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center does not have something that the auction house does, Demon Hunters rarely come to the auction house to buy things.

Lin Xin is a regular at the auction house, and he had already prepared the admission tickets. When Long Haochen and the others arrived at the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House, it was already dark outside. But there were many people entering the auction house.

Lin Xin led everyone into the auction house, walking and saying to Long Haochen, “Today is the once-a-month Grand Auction. Good things will also appear at this time. I looked at the auction list, and there are quite a few things that we might be interested in. Boss, I have a suggestion.”

“Speak,” Long Haochen said.

Lin Xin said, “We still have four Abyssal Darkdragon magic crystals. From the perspective of maximizing profits, we shouldn’t use merit points to buy the things we want here, as that would be a loss. Why not take advantage of today’s Grand Auction and sell one magic crystal? Our magic crystals weren’t bought from the Exchange Center, so selling them at the auction house doesn’t violate the Demon Hunt Squad rules. With the gold coins from selling the magic crystal, we can definitely support our purchases at today’s auction.”

Long Haochen’s heart stirred. He knew that according to the rules of the Demon Hunt Squad, if they wanted to sell the equipment and medicine they bought from the Demon Hunt Squad Exchange Center, they could only sell it to the Demon Hunt Squad Mission Center. Lin Xin’s suggestion was undoubtedly very good. The Abyssal Darkdragon magic crystal came from the Demon Race and was not something they had purchased. If they could really sell it for a high price, then they would also be able to buy enough good things at the auction house. Maybe they could solve the shortfall in merit points needed to equip everyone with a piece of Legendary equipment.

Stopping his footsteps, Long Haochen asked for the opinions of his partners. Finally, he agreed to Lin Xin’s suggestion.

Since it was a once-a-month event, today’s auction was held in the largest hall within the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House. Anyone participating in today’s auction must have had at least a million-level transaction with the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House.

But even so, Long Haochen and the others were still shocked when they entered the auction hall. In the dimly lit hall, there were at least seven or eight hundred people seated, and that number was still rising. Many people wore masks specially sent by the auction house to conceal their faces. After all, it was very possible to offend people in the process of participating in the bidding.

Lin Xin led them to the front row, but he didn’t have a private box here. Long Haochen and his six companions sat down in the third row. Out of prudence, Long Haochen and the others also wore the masks distributed by the auction house. Lin Xin then took an Abyssal Darkdragon magic crystal from Long Haochen to participate in the bidding.

Generally speaking, auction houses will no longer accept auction items before the auction is about to begin. However, it also depends on what the item is. The Abyssal Darkdragon’s magic crystal! They would probably be begging for it to be added. Moreover, Lin Xin has always had a good relationship with the Saint Alliance Grand Auction House.

Cai’er leaned gently on Long Haochen’s shoulder and slowly closed her eyes.

Long Haochen asked in a low voice, “Is there anything you want?”
