Weapon seller in the world of magic

The Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Black Tortoise, the Vermillion Bird, and the anaconda king, which never stayed in pet inventory from the start, were shifted to different islands around when the factory was shifted from Mark's inventory to Fujian island.

As soon as she stepped onto the island of Dijun, Xuan Wu, the Black Tortoise of the North opened its large pair of eyes that were bigger than even the tallest human, observing her silently from far away until she reached him.

Unlike her usual playful or stubborn nature, the princess carried herself with a dignified demeanor of royal bloodline as she landed not so far away from the beast and walked toward the holy beast.

"Shang Jiao greets his grace." She half kneeled before the beast and cupped her fists, lowering her head with her gaze fixed on the ground.

The holy beast treated her the same way. It rose to its feet and replied in a human speech, "Arise to your feet, the inheritor of Blizzard Pegasus."

As she stood up, the Black Tortoise continued, "State the reason for your visit, Ms. Shang."

Shang Jiao raised her head to look at it, "I wish to confirm whether the upcoming one-month ceremony of my nephew is not the doom you predicted." She looked dead serious when she said it.

The Black Tortoise's eyes glowed for a bit before it answered, "The future looks still unclear to my vision."

Shang Jiao silently stared at the beast for a few seconds as if she was thinking about something. Eventually, she opened her mouth to ask, "Tell me. Do I really have any chance of making a breakthrough in seven days?"

"It is not possible," The giant beast nodded. Just as the princess became crestfallen, the former added, "Unless you accept your destiny."

Shang Jiao's facial expression hardened. She couldn't help but clench her fists but managed to control her emotions and firmly replied, "No, I will look for another way."

"In that case, you can be on your way," The holy beast sat down and closed its eyes, ignoring her.

"So much for a holy beast with knowledge of ten million years," Shang Jiao, this time, couldn't stop herself from stomping onto the ground in frustration before walking away.

However, a few seconds later, she was forced to halt her footsteps when the Black Tortoise's words echoed in the surroundings, "There is one another way, but the journey will be life-threatening. After you get that power, your life won't be easier in any way either."

Shang Jiao abruptly turned around, "What is it?"

The Black Tortoise replied, "The Orb of Time."

"Hmm?"

Several days later;

Lunaris City, Western Moon Kingdom;

As the day of little Lu Shan's one-month celebration arrived, everyone in the palace became busy with attending to the guests; Kings and Emperors of the alliance, princes and nobles of various empires and their wives, Wealthy merchants and their families, scholars from all over the continent, and other important individuals with incredible strength who aren't exactly invited but still welcomed by the servants of the palace.

While some of them are curious about the boy rumored to have been born with 2-circle realm cultivation and remaining want to pay their respects to a demigod (Lan Jingyi), their primary reason for attending this ceremony is because of the auction that's going to happen on the next day.

One of the few things announced is the legendary pill (stat pill) that permanently raises one's realm even if they are in 8-circle realm, a potion that instantly gives the strength of a supreme being (peak potion), a robot with the strength of a legendary realm expert (rank-8 robot), a flying metallic puppet that has various abilities (EC-665 Attack Helicopter), a warship same as the ones owned by Eastern Sun and currently ruling the seas in their vicinity, and most important of them all, the legendary Sword of Light-Aries, one of the nine recorded heaven grade weapons in the history (celestial-grade).

Of the nine, only five surfaced so far. Naturally, people are excited to own it.

Not to mention, the Sword of Light is also known as the King's sword and has a mythical status. Everyone who held it became an Emperor and various princes are determined to acquire it to ascend the throne of their respective empires.

Mark originally didn't intend to sell it. The system left it with him before it left in Allen's body. However, he was worried about passing it to his son if it stayed with him. Mark was told by the famed fortune teller that his son has the destiny of a King and he merely wants a peaceful life for Lu Shan.

It could be seen as overthinking, but it is what it is.

With this, Mark also planned on making a statement that he was not interested in power. The allies would be happy with such a move. Or so he convinced himself with.

But, the real reason for this auction is simple.

He wants to amass a large fortune and use it to buy materials aggressively to ramp up production. For that, he didn't even hesitate to sell his precious attack helicopter.

If there was one thing that became better with the disappearance of the system, it is that the items previously bound to his soul are no longer bound, as the medium of that connection has gone.

Back to the present day, in the grand hall of the palace decorated with symbols of lotuses and banners with blessings and poetic couples on the walls, Mark and Song Yue alongside their baby were seated as the hosts as the guests were meeting them one after another, some of them bless the baby with materialistic gifts, scholars displayed their knowledge by reciting poems or gift calligraphic scrolls that mostly linked to the baby's gifted potential, longevity, prosperity, etc…

None of the gifts presented impressed Mark so far but he nevertheless thanked them while constantly putting up his business smile while cursing in his head of how miser these rich folks are.

It went on for a couple of hours before the feast was announced. Hundreds of servants flooded the hall with dishes as ladies emptied the hall to go into separate sections, following the customs.

However, before the plating has ended, the party is interrupted by the arrival of an old woman entering the grand hall, attracting the attention of experts in an instant. First of all, it was a woman intruding into the men's feast; secondly, she turned out to be a supreme being; lastly, she seemed like she was either not in a good state or she was possessed by a ghost, based on her wobbling state.

Mark was casually conversing with King Shen Niu, when it happened. However, before they get to notice, all of a sudden, Sylvandria appears out of nowhere beside him and whispers to Mark, "Be careful. I sense a beastly aura from that woman."

Mark swiftly turned his head to look at the uninvited stranger. "Hmm?" He furrowed his brows, feeling like he knew her.

Even Shang Fu who was seated beside Shang Bo thought the same.

Being prepared for an enemy attack from the start, Mark quickly activated his God Eyes to study the enemy.

But, when he did it, his eyes widened in shock, "Jiao Mei?" His words echoed down the hall, taking everyone by surprise.

The old woman forced herself to raise her head and shed a drop of tear, "Zhen-ge."
