A while later, Lin Mo's grin returned, wider than ever.
Why sell the cow when you can sell the milk, the cheese, and the leather separately? And the same goes for the artifacts as well.
"The bidding is closed," Lin Mo announced as he stood up. The room fell silent.
"The bids were... enlightening. And they have made one thing clear.

He looked at the three pedestals.
"Therefore, I am altering the deal."
He waved his hand. The [Everlasting Spirit Fountain] floated towards Patriarch Liu Tianfeng.
"Patriarch Liu, the Liu Clan wins the first artifact. Build your 'Storm Ascension Ground'. Make it the forge of our future heroes."
