Gate goes *poof*

I left the auction hall building quite a bit richer than I was before entering it. Even though I didn't bring anything with me directly, opting to store everything away in my storage rings, I could still somehow feel the weight of my treasures. 

'I didn't expect it would be that easy,' I thought, slowly making my way towards the inner grounds of the Sect. 

This was the one thing that exploded way beyond my expectations. I wanted to find silver, but I found gold or something. 

It turned out that the business I created just to get myself a new source of a passive income would shake the foundations of the society all over the continent soon!

'Well, that doesn't mean I can get complacent,' I thought to myself, approaching the gates of the inner ring of the Sect. 

It was little to no surprise, but they were closed shut. But the guards' presence in front of the gate made me guess that there had to be some way of entering.
