Chapter 119 - The Furious Eldest Senior Brother!
Chapter 119: The Furious Eldest Senior Brother!
Suddenly, a bid came from the VIP room in the center of the second floor of the auction house.
“50,000 spiritual stones!”
This was a price that eldest senior brother Zhao Liren felt he could afford after discussion with his fellow disciples.
Hearing the voice from the second floor, Xu Youqing snorted coldly and bid again.
“50,000 spiritual stones!”
The second floor was silent for a moment, but then an angry voice was heard.
“60,000 spiritual stones!”
This was already half of the wealth of the members of the Battle Immortal Sect, but it had not reached half of the auction process yet!
Even though he had urged Lin Huaiyuan repeatedly before, he really could not take out any more spiritual stones. All the spiritual stones were used to purchase the auction items in Lin City.
At this moment, Lin Huaiyuan was sitting on the ground with a pale face. He could not figure out where Lin Mo got so many auction items from. Before rushing here to participate in the auction, he had prepared to make a fool of Lin Mo with his senior brothers.
At the start, when he heard that there would be ten precious treasures being auctioned off today, he had made a solemn vow to the second elder and Bai Wuheng. He had promised them beforehand that he would purchase all the items for today’s auction and that Lin Mo was just bluffing with the auction list.
However, what was happening now? Even if Lin Mo’s next treasures were all from the continent, his plan had already failed.
Even the second elder had almost lost all his wealth. If not for the last bit of assets that he was unable to sell within a short time, he might have been a poor man now! He had paid a huge sum for each item!
At this moment, there were only three words in Lin Huaiyuan’s mind – it was over.
It was over! His father had completely to Lin Mo this time! His father had completely lost the right to compete for the position of clan leader!Lin Huaiyuan was even thinking about how to explain this matter to the second elder after the auction.
As for eldest senior brother Zhao Liren, he did not even want to pay attention to Lin Huaiyuan when he saw his despondent look.
Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming’s clans had their own specialties. One was good at forging while the other was good at making runes. They did not have any rigid demand for treasures like the Empty Treasure Box. If there was a chance, they would not mind bidding for it but now was not the right time.
Therefore, the Xu Feng’s Regiment commander, Xu Youqing, and his eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, were still competing!
“75,000 spiritual stones!”
“80,000 spiritual stones!”
Eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, was more determined. He bought the Empty Treasure Chest for 80,000 spiritual stones.
[ Ding! Congratulations to host for successfully auctioning fifth-level Empty Treasure Chest! ]
[ Congratulations to the host for obtaining 800 times the profit! ]
[ Congratulations to the host for obtaining sixth-level Treasure Chest! ]
...
“The next item to be auctioned is fifth-level Pure and Exquisite Divine Art!”
“The starting price is 20,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 5,000 spiritual stones!”
This was the cultivation technique that Lin Mo had obtained from the intruder that night, Lu Gan!
Miao Qing turned around and opened the flannels on the tray. A pure, transparent, and exquisite aura surged toward him. It seemed to have condensed into the shape of a crystal-like exquisite pagoda in mid-air!
The instant they saw this item, everyone on the second floor instantly stood up and pounced toward the front window, staring fixedly at the cultivation technique on the auction stage.
The others were surprised, but in the largest auction room of the Battle Immortal Sect, they were shocked!
“That’s Junior Brother Lu Qian’s cultivation technique. That’s something he carries around with him!”
“I know that symbol! When Junior Brother Lu Qian played with me last time, I proposed to use his Pure and Exquisite Divine Art as a bet, but he didn’t agree. When we were fighting over it, I folded the corner of his Pure and Exquisite Divine Art!
“I can’t remember this wrong. The auctioneer on the stage is holding the Pure and Exquisite Divine Art in his hand, and there’s this mark on the corner. This is the one Junior Brother Lu Qian has!”
“As expected! We underestimated this auction house! The two of them must’ve met with misfortune!” eldest senior brother Zhao Liren said through gritted teeth, and a stream of wrinkles appeared on his forehead. His hands were tightly clenched together, and blue veins popped out.
“Suck!”
“Huff!”
After taking a deep breath, his eldest senior brother, Zhao Liren, closed his eyes for a long time. When he finally opened them, his eyes were already bloodshot.
“Junior Brothers, it looks like Lu Gan and Junior Brother Yu Shenkong have already fallen into Lin Mo’s vicious hands. Tonight, we’ll break into this auction house and send Lin Mo to accompany our two Junior Brothers!”
The atmosphere in the largest auction room on the second floor was extremely heavy. It was as if dark clouds were pressing down on them, causing one to feel as if their breathing was being obstructed!
Unlike the heavy atmosphere in the room, the atmosphere outside the auction house was extremely lively. Everyone wanted to possess this cultivation technique.
“30,000 spiritual stones!”
“40,000 spiritual stones!”
“50,000 spiritual stones!”
“55,000 spiritual stones!”
“75,000 spiritual stones!”
...
In another auction room on the second floor, Qi Yifei scratched his head and said to his father, Qi Yueheng, “Father! This Pure and Exquisite Divine Art seems to be a comprehensive cultivation technique that can increase one’s strength. Should we bid for it too?”
However, Qi Yueheng gently shook his head and then nodded.
“Father, what do you mean? Do we still need to hesitate about whether we should bid for it or not? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?”
“Our Qi clan has our own body tempering technique, and didn’t we just bid for the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique? This Pure and Exquisite Divine Art is also a fifth-level technique, and its effects are somewhat overlapping. We don’t need it.”
“But if the final price is less than 80,000 spiritual stones, we can buy it.”
As for the other two big clans in Forest City, one was in business, and the other was good at Talisman Seals. They did not really need a body strengthening technique, so they did not buy it.
In the end, this Pure and Exquisite Divine Art was obtained by an ordinary-looking old man at an exaggerated price of 90,000 spiritual stones.
