Chapter 125: Wow, a Golden Mythical!
After placing his bid, Xu Cheng consoled himself inwardly.
This is just a normal auction—no reason to make enemies over it, right?
But his heart sank when Qin Xian raised the bid again.
“50 million,” Qin Xian said calmly.
Xu Cheng took a deep breath and countered, “60 million!”
“80 million,” Qin Xian responded effortlessly.

The eyes of the auction hall turned toward Box 75.
To the attendees, the [Light of Eclipse] was worth no more than 1 million at best. Yet here it was, being driven up to an astonishing 80 million!
They were naturally curious about the owner of Box 75, someone bold enough to engage in a bidding war with Qin Xian.
Xu Cheng’s face darkened as he clenched his fists, ultimately deciding to withdraw. He could feel the weight of countless scrutinizing gazes and the palpable danger they carried.
To continue bidding would cross a line, turning the competition into a clear provocation. Qin Xian might not care, but others eager to curry favor with the Qin family certainly would.
Glancing one last time at the [Light of Eclipse], Xu Cheng conceded. His heart bled with regret.
A golden mythical-grade item…
Such treasures were once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. In all his years, Xu Cheng had never encountered one until now.
He couldn’t help but wonder why Qin Xian, of all people, would be interested in an unidentified item. Did the young master of the Qin family also have some sort of appraisal skill?
“80 million going once!”
“80 million going twice!”
“80 million, sold!”

Qin Xian’s Private Box
The [Light of Eclipse] appeared in Qin Xian’s inventory. His expression remained indifferent as he prepared to use an [Identification Scroll] on the item.
Interestingly, Qin Xian had no idea about the true value of the [Light of Eclipse]. His bidding war with Xu Cheng wasn’t out of spite or malice.
Qin Xian wasn’t the type to hold grudges over an auction. He had a reputation for being approachable, at least when there was no direct conflict of interest.
Even the Qin family’s servants could attest to his leniency; minor mistakes were usually met with nothing more than a dismissive laugh.
So why had he gone up to 80 million for an unidentified item?
Simply put, he wanted it.
Qin Xian understood that most unidentified items were worthless, but there was always a minuscule chance of finding something extraordinary. On a whim, he decided to buy it—he certainly wasn’t short on funds.
Money, to someone like Qin Xian, was just a number. If it turned out to be trash, so be it. At least no one else would get the chance to profit from it.

He retrieved the [Light of Eclipse] from his inventory. The item resembled a worn pocket watch, its surface marred with the scars of time.
Curious, Qin Xian activated the [Identification Scroll].
The moment the scroll’s power enveloped the [Light of Eclipse], the pocket watch emitted an intense golden radiance.
The worn and tarnished exterior transformed into a shimmering gold surface, adorned with intricate patterns and glowing with a mesmerizing halo.
When Qin Xian opened the pocket watch, the air in the box seemed to freeze. Mechanical gears began to turn within the watch, and with each motion, it felt as though the threads of fate themselves were shifting.

[Light of Eclipse]: Golden Mythical Accessory
– Level Requirement: None.
– Attributes: All attributes +20%.
– Eclipse: Create an Eclipse Field. Within the field:
– All targets below your level have their HP reduced to 1.
– All targets above your level have their maximum HP reduced by 50%.
– Cooldown: 72 hours.
– Fate’s Gear: Mark a target and twist their fate. Convert all positive buffs into negative debuffs (e.g., a +50% HP buff becomes -50%). Cooldown: 72 hours.

Qin Xian’s eyes widened in astonishment. For the first time in a long while, he stood up from his seat, his face lit with genuine surprise and excitement.
He hadn’t expected the item he had purchased on a whim to turn out to be a golden mythical-grade accessory—and one without any level restrictions.
Golden mythical-grade equipment was so rare and powerful that it could shape the destiny of nations. Even with the vast wealth and resources of the Qin family, they only possessed about a dozen such items, and most required a minimum level of 75 to use.
But this [Light of Eclipse] was different. Qin Xian could equip it immediately.

As Qin Xian examined the item, his heart swelled with satisfaction.
The +20% boost to all attributes alone represented an incredible leap in power, granting him an increase of over 400 attribute points. The skills were even more astonishing:
– Eclipse, with its devastating battlefield impact, was akin to a city-annihilating power, something typical of golden-grade equipment.
– Fate’s Gear, however, was the true game-changer. Its ability to reverse buffs into debuffs could drastically weaken legendary powerhouses mid-battle, potentially even killing them outright.
This single item was worth far more than the 80 million he had paid. Its true value was beyond measure—perhaps even in the trillions.
It was a treasure no faction would willingly sell, as it could determine the outcome of wars and secure the foundation of an empire.
Qin Xian, feeling pleased, immediately equipped the [Light of Eclipse].

His gaze shifted back to Box 75.
He had purchased the [Light of Eclipse] on a whim, driven by curiosity and a love for collecting rare items. But what about the mysterious occupant of Box 75?
Was the bidder someone like him, casually interested in unidentified items? Or… had they known all along about the item’s true value?
