Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion

The next morning, news of the Wild Wolf Gang's annihilation spread through Yan City like the wind. For a time, there was endless speculation as everyone guessed who could have wiped out the gang overnight while maintaining such secrecy.

Many turned their gazes toward the three major powers of Yan City, especially the Blood Wolf Gang. After all, aside from those three, they could not imagine anyone else capable of such a feat.

Regarding these suspicions, the three major powers acted as if they had reached an agreement, all maintaining a stony silence. No one stepped forward to explain the situation.

The silence of the three major powers made the matter all the more mysterious. No one knew who the culprit behind the destruction of the Wild Wolf Gang was, but it undoubtedly stirred up a storm, causing factions outside the big three to grow restless.

After a series of power struggles, the Tyrant Gate seized all of the Wild Wolf Gang's territory, significantly increasing their strength.

Just when everyone thought the matter had come to an end, the Tyrant Gate was unexpectedly wiped out a month later. Again, no one knew the identity of the killer, which cast a dark cloud over the many factions of Yan City.

For a time, the Wild Wolf Gang's former territory became a hot potato that no one dared to touch or claim, leaving it as a lawless, ownerless land.

Another month later, a shop called the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion opened its doors. Originally, this would have been a trivial matter, but to everyone's shock, it opened exactly where the Wild Wolf Gang's former headquarters had stood!

Such a daring act left everyone in Yan City dumbfounded. They watched with curiosity, waiting to see if the new Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion would follow in the footsteps of the Tyrant Gate. To their disappointment, not only was the pavilion fine, but its business and reputation grew larger by the day.

On the top floor of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, Li Quan and Lin Ge sat opposite each other, their eyes filled with smiles.

"I truly must thank you properly, otherwise I could never have achieved such influence," Li Quan said with a beaming smile.

Lin Ge shook his head with a laugh and replied, "This is all I can do to help you. As for whether the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion can go further in the future, that will depend on you."

"Rest assured, with the unique medicinal pills you provide, combined with my careful management, the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will surely be able to open in every corner of the Great Yan Dynasty," Li Quan said, his face full of confidence.

"It is good that you have such confidence."

Lin Ge nodded slightly; he truly appreciated this confidence in Li Quan.

"In a few days, the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will hold a grand auction. Would you like to attend?" Li Quan asked suddenly.

"An auction?"

Lin Ge paused for a few seconds, voicing his confusion.

"Right now, while the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion has a name, it lacks the prestige to truly convince others. That is why I want to hold a grand auction, inviting all the powers within hundreds of miles to witness the formidable strength of my pavilion," Li Quan chuckled, a flash of wisdom in his eyes.

"That is a fine idea, but if you don't have any trump cards, how will you command their respect?"

Lin Ge agreed with the idea, but he was worried that Li Quan lacked items desirable enough to hold the crowd's attention; if that were the case, it would be quite embarrassing.

"Rest assured, if I didn't have anything impressive, why would I hold this auction?" Li Quan chuckled, his face full of confidence.

"Then I am quite curious—what have you prepared that could make those factions fight like mad?"

Lin Ge narrowed his eyes, guessing to himself, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"I cannot say yet; you will know when the time comes," Li Quan said with a smile and a shake of his head, his eyes filled with a hint of apology.

Lin Ge nodded in understanding and said, "In that case, let me add a little more weight to your scales."

"Add weight?" Li Quan's eyes filled with curiosity, eager to see what it was.

Lin Ge reached into his Universe Bag and produced an exquisite jade bottle. He slowly removed the stopper, and a wave of pure Origin energy rushed out.

"What kind of pill is this? Such pure Origin energy!"

Li Quan's eyes were filled with shock. He had never seen such pure energy—it was several times more refined than a Pure Origin Stone!

Lin Ge wore a rare, smug smile as he said, "A Mirror-Breaking Pill!"

"A Mirror-Breaking Pill? What kind of pill is this, and what does it do?" Li Quan had a vague guess, but he asked out of curiosity.

"Its greatest charm is that it allows a Heaven Origin Realm expert to directly advance to the early stage of the Origin Pellet Realm!"

Lin Ge's calm words left Li Quan stunned and utterly shocked.

"You... what did you say? It can directly advance one to the Origin Pellet Realm!"

After a long moment, Li Quan finally regained his composure, though the shock on his face remained intense.

"Do not be so shocked. This pill only guarantees you can reach the Origin Pellet Realm; it cannot guarantee what grade of Origin Pellet you will condense," Lin Ge said indifferently.

Seeing Lin Ge so calm, Li Quan couldn't help but laugh bitterly. "That is still enough to drive people mad. That is the Origin Pellet Realm we are talking about."

"These two pills exhausted all the resources from both the Wild Wolf Gang and the Tyrant Gate. You could say they were built with money."

Speaking of this, a hint of dissatisfaction appeared in Lin Ge's eyes, as the materials and Pure Origin Stones consumed to refine the Mirror-Breaking Pill had far exceeded his expectations.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. I will come back in a few days."

The conversation ended there. Lin Ge rose to leave, and Li Quan stood to see him off.

Watching Lin Ge's departing figure, the smile on Li Quan's face gradually faded, replaced by a look of deep focus.

"Thank you for your help. One day, the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion will span the entire continent. I am certain of it!"
