Chapter 190 - The Auction Begins
Chapter 190: The Auction Begins
Moreover, when he was cultivating, the power of the Dao arts would constantly resonate with him. This feeling was very wonderful.
“So I’ve used up all my spiritual stones...”
Lin Mo came to a realization and looked at the mid-grade spiritual stones that had turned into dust around him.
The reason why he was able to travel through the starry skies was that the spiritual energy within the spiritual stones had transformed into the starry skies.
Now that the spiritual stones had been exhausted, the starry skies naturally would not be there anymore, and he could only stop his cultivation.
“This is 5,000 middle-grade spiritual stones, and they’ve been used up just like that?”
Lin Mo was speechless. The consumption of spiritual stones was too great, right? Who could withstand this...
“Oh, my strength is at tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm...”
Lin Mo, who had a pained expression on his face just a moment ago, was instantly filled with excitement after checking his own strength.
The barrier that he had been unable to break through despite using all his strength, was now easily broken through.
Not only that, but he had also reached tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm.
“It’s worth it...”
Lin Mo laughed loudly. 5,000 mid-grade spiritual stones allowed him to reach tier 12 Dragon Transformation Realm without any sequelae.
“Oh right, there’s still the puppet.”
Just as he was laughing, Lin Mo suddenly recalled that the Origin Spirit Puppet was also absorbing inner cores and spiritual stones to raise its strength.
He took the puppet out from the system warehouse.
The moment it appeared, the Origin Spirit Puppet emitted a golden light, and it was even wearing dark black battle armor.
“It evolved by itself?”
Lin Mo was shocked. As expected of an ancient technique, this Origin Spirit Puppet’s strength had also received a huge increase.
After checking the puppet’s Dantian, he found that the spiritual stones had already been used up, and only one top-grade tier 8 inner core was left.
However, from the looks of it, in a few hours, this inner core would also be completely absorbed.
“It has already reached the tier 17 Dragon Transformation Realm. After absorbing all of it, it should be able to advance to tier 18.”
Lin Mo nodded. Such an increase was not bad. Moreover, due to the puppet’s special characteristics, its combat strength was not only at tier 18.
Although the Origin Spirit Puppet did not know any techniques or martial arts, it could still fight against a tier 18 Dragon Transformation Realm expert with its physical body.
With the help of the spiritual energy, it should not be a problem for it to fight against enemies one tier higher.
After putting away the puppet, Lin Mo walked out of the secret chamber. Only then did he remember that he still had an auction to attend.
“Damn it, how long have I been cultivating for?”
Lin Mo hurriedly ran out. After passing through a few corridors, he finally saw a figure.
After stopping a newly recruited guard, Lin Mo learned that the auction had already begun half an hour ago.
Miao Qing and Duanmu Jia had come to the secret chamber to look for Lin Mo.
However, they could feel an extremely special fluctuation in the secret chamber. It was extremely mysterious, so they did not dare to disturb him.
They had not been idle for the past three days and had collected quite a number of auction items.
They were all tier 5 and tier 6, even tier 7 was rare.
However, the auction had just begun, so they were not in a hurry.
“What should we do? Master hasn’t come out of seclusion yet. We’re running out of auction items...” Below the stage, Miao Qing said anxiously.
At this moment, Duanmu Jia was auctioning on the stage. However, judging from the sweat on her forehead, it could be seen that this girl was trying her best to hold on.
“If this really doesn’t work out, get Miss Duanmu to come down. I’ll go up and announce the end of the auction,” said Yan Rong.
He had originally been teaching Lin Die how to train and how to fight. However, due to an accident, he had been called over.
However, he knew nothing about business and did not know how to resolve this predicament.
If he ended up losing face, he could go up and bear the consequences.
If he could not win, he would be despised by thousands of people. He was indebted to Lin Mo, so he naturally had to step forward at the crucial moment.
“Brother Yan Rong, Lil’ Die will go with you.” Lin Die ran over and said firmly.
“I’m sorry, I’m too engrossed in my cultivation. I won’t do it again...”
At this moment, on the stage, Duanmu Jia had auctioned off the final item. Her face had turned deathly pale, and she staggered back two steps.
The last item was only a mid-grade tier 7 item.
However, this was also the final item.
“Haha, wonderful. The auction hosted by Miss Duanmu is truly a feast for the eyes.”
“However, there are too many tier 5 and tier 6 items here and they can’t be placed on the stage. Next, is your Lin auction house going to bring out a good treasure?”
Mu Feng’s voice sounded a little smug.
They had all seen Duanmu Jia’s expression. They had already expected that the Lin auction house would not have any auctioned items.
Next, Lin Mo’s reputation would be ruined under everyone’s ridicule.
“Haha, of course. Since Brother Mu is here to support us, how can I not take out a good item?”
The curtain behind the auction stage was lifted and Lin Mo’s figure walked out.
His appearance was like a stabilizing needle, instantly calming the anxious Yan Rong and the others.
“Master, you’re finally here...”
Seeing Lin Mo appear, Duanmu Jia’s tensed nerves finally relaxed, and he heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’ve been too engrossed in my cultivation, I won’t do it again,” Lin Mo said with a gentle smile.
He let Duanmu Jia leave, took the auction hammer, and personally presided over the next auction.
“Thank you all for your support. Just as Brother Mu said, none of the treasures in our Lin auction house later will be lower than rank 7.”
“Moreover, there’s more than one tier 8 treasure.”
Lin Mo smiled mysteriously. After he said that, the crowd cheered. The remaining items were all tier 7.
To take out so many resources, even the Mu clan would need a long time to prepare.
Furthermore, Lin Mo said that there was more than one tier 8 item...
“Owner Lin, hurry up and start. We can’t wait any longer.”
“That’s right, I gave up on my cultivation and came all the way from the deep mountains to participate in the auction...”
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Lin Mo took out a jade bottle and smiled.
“Since everyone is so confident, I will naturally be satisfied.”
“This first item is a tier-7 top-grade weapon, the Lunar Jade Bottle. It’s forged from the lunar jade and contains an extremely cold aura.”
“Its appearance is also very beautiful. It’s not impossible to buy it for collection.”
“The starting price is 1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.”
After Lin Mo finished introducing the item, the hammer descended and announced the start of the auction.
“This jade bottle is so beautiful. It suits me very well. I’ll bid 1,400,000.”
“1.4 million won’t be able to take it away. I’ll bid 1.5 million.”
“1.6 million.”
“...”
The appearance of a top-tier tier 7 auction item caused many people to be shocked, especially Mu Feng and the others.
The value of this Lunar Jade Bottle was extremely high. In the end, the final bid was 2.2 million, and it was bid away by a lady dressed in a white dress.
Looking at the crowd below, Lin Mo’s gaze swept past the few VIP rooms at the very front, and a smile appeared on his face.
“Everyone, thank you for coming to participate in this auction. I know what you’re waiting for, and I won’t keep you in suspense. The next item to be auctioned is a tier 8 treasure.”
Lin Mo smiled, and with a raise of his hand, a pitch-black ferocious beast egg appeared in his hand.
Wisps of black mist revolved around it, shocking everyone.
“Tier 8 ferocious beast egg, Myriad Poison Beast, a strange poison beast of the world, possessing the ability to detoxify poison.”
“The starting bid is 5,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones...”
