Chapter 475
Power and influence weren’t built in a day, after all.
“Master Gray, have you heard of the Curios Chamber?” Nadine smiled as she stepped up behind Ashton again.
Her shapely curves pressed lightly against his back while she kneaded his shoulders, her eyes gleaming with allure. It was as if she were ready to pledge herself to him at any moment.
Ashton nodded. “I’ve heard a bit. It’s supposed to be a global powerhouse.”
Nadine said, “The Curios Chamber is one of the most elite forces in the world. They have a presence in nearly every major city, but they’re never open to the public. Entrance is strictly invitation–only. Members can participate in auctions and bids there. Inside the Curios Chamber, you’ll find almost any rare artifact you can imagine.”
Ashton’s eyes glinted. “That impressive?”
“It’s a top–tier, global organization, after all. If you want to auction your top–grade pills, the Curios Chamber is hands–down the best place.” Nadine continued, “I’ve worked with the chamber’s branch in Javonbury before, and I’m friends with the head, Wanda Shepherd. If you want to auction or bid there, I can introduce you.”
“Do they have books on special constitutions for cultivation?” Ashton asked.
That, right now, was his most urgent need. Only by understanding the special constitutions required for the Drakell technique could he push his practice further by drawing in essence better and elevating his realm. Otherwise, he would be groping in the dark, unable to fully unleash the technique’s power.
“Actually, there is one.” Nadine said, “From what I know, the chamber’s current auction catalog includes an item called the Compendium of Special Constitutions. It’s an artifact that can only be used once, and it’s only readable by probing it with one’s spiritual consciousness.”
“The Compendium of Special Constitutions?” Ashton’s eyes lit up. “It’ll be up for auction? How do we bid?”
“The Curios Chamber’s latest auction is tonight, and the Compendium will be up for bidding. How about I accompany you there? We can consign these top–grade pills for auction and exchange them for the rare herbs and ingredients you need.”
“No time like the present–let’s go.” Ashton’s excitement surged.
He was eager to learn what special constitutions the women around him possessed, and how much nourishment they could offer his Drakeborne lineage.
“I’ll contact Wanda right away. I’m sure she’d want to meet you, too.” Nadine smiled.
To the Curios Chamber, a master of the healing arts who could refine top–grade pills had to be the most esteemed of guests.
Without delay, Nadine changed into a strapless, violet gown. Her hair was swept up over one shoulder, giving her an airy and ethereal look. She headed to the Curios Chamber alongside Ashton.
“Nadine, you’re here! Did you bring fresh pills? We agreed you’d save them for me when you refined the new ones. I’ll make sure they fetch a great price!” A light, teasing voice that sounded sultry and melodious carried on the breeze.
Following the sound, Ashton saw a stunning woman in a sky–blue dress gliding toward them. Her hourglass figure was impossible to ignore, and her hips swayed with every step.
She was Wanda Shepherd, the head of the Curios Chamber’s branch in Javonbury. She was an enchantress with an undeniable presence.

She had the quintessential pear–shaped silhouette–a full, striking bust and a classic oval face that Mended refined grace with a hint of allure. Every expression seemed to possess a natural charm, stirring something primal in those who looked at her.
BANA
Her face was lit up with a radiant smile as she approached Nadine and Ashton. Her gaze lingered curiously on Ashton. “Nadine, my dear, are you in love? He is handsome, but I wonder how he’s worthy of someone like you*
