"The artifact's name is Juliet and Romeo."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone became serious.
"The current owner donated it as a grand prize for the International Mystical Cultivation Competition."
Silence filled the room. Even Lana's breathing became slightly heavier.
What a coincidence. The very item they desperately needed was the first-place prize of the competition she was already preparing for.
Axel quickly explained further. "The previous owner wished to contribute to society and support the younger generation."
His voice carried a hint of admiration. "Even powerful cultivators would fight over the opportunity to possess Juliet and Romeo."
Conard nodded. "That makes sense."
After all, the artifact was practically a limitless source of wealth. The winner would be granted temporary ownership rights for an entire year.
During that year, they could lend it out, lease it to governments, or cooperate with powerful organizations.
