Chapter 187: They Don’t Even Know How to Set a Trap
“May I ask if this brother is the owner of the Wanxiang auction house?”
He had long wanted to see Lin Mo. Now that he had done so, he naturally wanted to let more people know about Lin Mo.
As expected, his words caused the surrounding people to immediately recall.
“So it’s the owner of the Wanxiang auction house. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Someone around Lin Mo cupped his fists and said.
“May I know the owner’s name?” someone laughed.
As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person. Moreover, these people did not have any enmity toward him.
The only thing that made Lin Mo unhappy was that the man in front of him had a smile on his face, but he did not have any good intentions.
“I’m Lin Mo. Greetings to my fellow cultivator.” Lin Mo cupped his fists and saluted, greeting everyone.
At this moment, the man who exposed Lin Mo spoke again, “Hehe, I’m Mu Feng. Greetings, Brother Lin.”
“Brother Lin, aren’t you going to hold an auction that will shake the entire Ancient Flame City in three days? Why are you here and not preparing?” Mu Feng had an elegant demeanor. He was very concerned about Lin Mo and wanted to find out more about the auction.
“That place has changed its name to the Lin auction house. As for the specific information, allow me to keep it a secret for now.” Lin Mo put on a fake smile and said perfunctorily.
“Haha, then I’ll be waiting for your good news.” Mu Feng laughed loudly and turned around to return to his private room.
He already had the effect he wanted. Lin Mo had just arrived in Ancient Flame City and had already become the focus of everyone’s attention.
As long as he could not bring out a treasure that would shake the entire city, then his reputation would be tarnished.
At that time, the eighth prince would probably come over personally to deal with him.
After he left, Lin Mo greeted everyone before entering his private room and locking the door.
At this point, he finally could not hold back his laughter.
“Speaking of which, I still have to thank all of you for creating momentum for me and even promoting me. Thank you...”
Lin Mo laughed heartily. The other party was indeed very strong, and his moves were a little unfathomable.
The eighth prince’s influence was weak, and there was a limit to the number of experts she had under her, as well as the number of treasures she had.
If it had been anyone else, they might have really been defeated. At that time, they would have no choice but to return dejectedly.
However, Lin Mo was different. With the auction system in hand, the other party would eventually realize how laughable it was...
“Welcome, everyone, to this auction. I am today’s auctioneer, Mu Yang.”
An old man walked up to the auction stage and held a silver plate covered by a red cloth.
“Let’s not talk too much. Let’s start the auction.” Mu Yang placed the plate on the stage and lifted the red cloth.
“Today’s first item, hundred-year-old red jade fire marrow. It was born under the earth and in the magma.”
“It is said that if a fire element cultivator consumes this red jade fire marrow, at the very least, they will be able to increase their strength by one tier in the Dragon Transformation Realm.”
“The starting price is one million low-grade spiritual stones. Each increment must not be less than 100,000.”
After Mu Yang finished his introduction, everyone in the auction house started to get excited and began to bid.
This was especially so for the fire attribute cultivators, who were all crazily increasing their bids.
“The first item is mine...”
In Lin Mo’s private room, he looked at the hundred-year Red Jade Fire Marrow being auctioned and curled his lips.
This item was very valuable. While increasing one’s strength, it could also temper one’s body.
If it was not for the fact that Lin Mo was not of the fire attribute, he would have used it a long time ago. Why would he be auctioning it?
“I bid 3.2 million, who else can compete with me?”
Outside, a middle-aged man roared loudly, raising the price to 3.2 million.
The surrounding crowd was also shocked. This price was more or less enough.
“3.2 million three times, sold. Congratulations to the 145th Guest, for winning the 100-year Red Jade Fire Marrow.” Mu Yang dropped the auction hammer and set the price for the first item.
[ Congratulations on successfully auctioning the tier 6 100-year-old Red Jade Fire Marrow. ]
[ This time’s auction will earn a 1,000-fold rebate. ]
[ Obtained 7th level 1,000-year-oldRed Jade Fire Marrow. ]
The system’s voice rang in Lin Mo’s ears, causing him to be slightly disappointed.
It was only a 1,000-fold rebate and the 1,000-year-old Red Jade Fire Marrow did not have much of an effect. Lil’ Die did not need it either.
Unless it was the tier 8 10,000-Year-Old Red Jade Fire Marrow, only would it allow Lil’ Die’s cultivation to have a huge breakthrough.
“This second item is a weapon, a tier 5 dual wind saber. Its attack power is strong and its speed is very fast. Friends who use the fast saber, don’t miss it.”
After Mu Yang introduced it, the starting price of this dual wind saber was 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
Compared to the previous item, this item was a little weak, so no one was interested.
In the end, this dual wind saber was bought by a middle-aged man for 900,000 spirit stones.
...
“This item is a tier 6 top-grade Spirit Cultivation Pill. It can be consumed by cultivators in tier 10 to tier 25 Dragon Transformation Realm.”
“It has been appraised by a specialist appraiser from the Mu clan. The Spirit Cultivation Pill can recover 60% of the spiritual energy in a short period of time and can be used repeatedly.”
Mu Yang raised the jade bottle to let everyone see it more clearly.
There were a total of five of them, and any one of them was worth more than a million spiritual stones.
Now that the five pills were being auctioned together, just the starting price alone was beyond everyone’s expectations.
“The starting price is 7 million, and each increment must not be less than 500,000. Let the bidding begin.”
“7.5 million.”
Right at the start, there were already people impatiently bidding.
Spirit Cultivation Pills were used in battles with others. If one were to consume them at a critical moment, they would most likely be effective.
Everyone wanted to obtain it, so the bidding was quite intense. Lin Mo was speechless.
“Ancient Flame City is really rich. This Spirit Cultivation Pill is priced at two million each, and five pills are only worth ten million. Yet these guys can actually reach 15 million.”
Lin Mo sighed. These Spirit Cultivation Pills were also his, and they came from the Duanmu clan’s chamber of commerce.
The quality was definitely guaranteed, but he did not expect it to be so easy to sell.
If he had known that Ancient Flame City was interested in this kind of spirit pill, he would not have sold it and would have kept it for himself.
“16,500,000 going three times, sold. Congratulations to the friend in VIP room 4 for successfully getting the Spirit Cultivation Pills.”
Mu Yang was extremely happy. The price of these Spirit Cultivation Pills far exceeded their value, and it also brought quite a lot of popularity to the auction house.
[ Congratulations on successfully auctioning off high-grade tier 6 Spirit Cultivation Pill. ]
[ This time’s auction will earn 4,000 times the profit. ]
[ Obtained a low-grade tier 8 Weather Pill. ]
[ Weather Pill: after consuming it, one can quickly replenish one’s spiritual Qi and soul force. ]
A low-grade tier 8 treasure was finally here. However, Lin Mo did not intend to sell this Weather Pill.
Being able to recover spiritual Qi and soul force, this was a rare treasure.
“Congratulations on successfully auctioning the inner core of a top-grade tier 6 Berserk Beast.”
“This auction has triggered 7,000 times the profit.”
“Obtained the inner core of a top grade level 8 single-horned berserk dragon.”
As Lin Mo was thinking about this, another system notification appeared, causing him to be pleasantly surprised.
The inner core of a top grade level 8 demonic beast was just a cultivation resource for him.
Coincidentally, he was currently lacking a tier 8 treasure, and this single-horned Berserk Beast’s inner core was just enough to cover it.
Perhaps it was because he wanted to set up a trap for Lin Mo, but this auction only sold 50 treasures.
What made Lin Mo speechless was that more than 30 of them were his.
From the looks of it, the Mu clan had only prepared a tier 8 spirit pill and did not prepare any other auction items...
“If they are digging such an obvious pit, who would jump into it?” Lin Mo shook his head, and in his heart, he was slightly suspicious of the Mu clan’s ability to handle matters.
