The blood-colored figure's words made Dongguan frown slightly.
Then he saw Jiamoke begin taking out materials, resources, and even weapons to trade.
The blood-colored figure waved a hand, releasing a wash of red light that enveloped the items to appraise them.

Then Yanming stepped forward and, just like Jiamoke, took out items worth 1,000
