Ruth hesitated, then let out a heavy snort, exuding the imposing aura of a First Rank Junior Wizard as he loudly bid,
"15,000 Magic Stones!"
At that moment, a scoff echoed from another private box.
"...didn't you say that this was just a flawed and outdated Ancient Meditation Method?"
"Why not let us have it then?"
"Cut the nonsense, we are all Wild Wizards, who doesn't understand the value of a complete First Rank Meditation Method!" Another voice said grimly.
Wild Wizards like them mostly practiced incomplete Meditation Methods, with their path forward often blocked, which was all too common.
Possessing a complete First Rank Meditation Method might not necessarily be adaptable.
Even if modified, it would have various flaws and wouldn't compare to other Meditation Methods...
Regardless, it was still far better than their current dead ends with no progress!
Upstairs, Ruth let out another cold snort, about to retort.
But then he heard,
Ding.
