Chapter 148 - I'll Pay the Bill
Chapter 148: I'll Pay the Bill
The Purple Cloud Holy Land was 2000 miles away from Lin City. It was not far away, but it was separated by the Qinghuai Holy Land.
Not only did the Qinghuai Holy Land have a bad relationship with the Purple Cloud Holy Land, but they also had an old grudge with Lin Mo.
The way to enter the Purple Cloud Holy Land was also very mysterious. One needed to be led by the Purple Cloud Elder of the holy land to enter.
The array to enter the holy land was a tier 6 mid-grade array.
The Qinghuai Holy Land, on the other hand, could be entered once they found its location.
It could be seen that the array that Bai Wuheng had sent over with all his wealth was not completely useless. At the very least, it was at the level of a holy land.
It was just that he could not understand the eighth prince's intentions, which was why he was punished by the eighth prince.
"Eighth prince, this new manager of the Lin auction house is someone you can befriend. He only recognizes money, not people."
"In addition, the two great holy lands have thoughts of befriending you. Do you think we should choose the Purple Cloud Holy Land or the Qinghuai Holy Land?"
The holy land was like a secret realm.
If an ordinary person could get into the holy land, even if he was just a handyman, he would be able to live comfortably and have a bright future.
As a prince, the eighth prince was naturally the target of the two great holy lands.
However, if it was not for the fact that he did not have a choice, he really didn't want to form an alliance with these unpresentable holy lands.
Small circles were always more chaotic. Along the way, the eighth prince had already seen the methods of those clans that relied on him as a backer, acting according to the situation, and plotting against loyal and virtuous families.
"Hmm… Qinghuai Holy Land, right? I heard that the disciples of the Purple Cloud Holy Land are all women. It's somewhat inconvenient for me to interact with them."
"Yes."
The sisters nodded their heads in remembrance.
The eighth prince sighed. He did not expect that the lair he was prepared to hide in at any time would actually be messed up by this trash, Bai Wuheng.
Fortunately, he had come to take a look. Otherwise, it would have been unimaginable.
Inside Drunken Immortal Restaurant…
Bai Wuheng clutched his Qiankun bag gloomily and returned to his seat amid the cheers of the crowd.
Qi Yueheng and the others on the main seat were dumbfounded.
"Master Bai, your face is…"
"I fell." The corners of Bai Wuheng's mouth twitched, and he said dejectedly, "Everyone, eat well and drink well. I won't accompany you."
The distinguished guests thought about how Bai Wuheng had followed a pair of sisters into the room earlier. When he came out, his face was like this.
It was obvious that the pair of sisters were not to be trifled with. They were probably not from the imperial city.
Bai Wuheng must have suffered a setback this time, right?
Zhao Gongming was instantly amused. He held back his laughter and looked at Bai Wuheng's expression mockingly with the other clan leaders.
Qi Yueheng pretended to be surprised and spoke out to persuade him to stay.
"Master Bai, how dare you leave first? You are the biggest winner of the auction today! If you give the array to the eighth prince, who knows how much reward you will get!"
Zhao Gongming was also surprised, "Yes! I heard that the eighth prince was magnanimous and has no brave generals under him! Everyone is working for the imperial city, but among us, one is close to the fourth prince and the other is close to the second prince… These nobles don't lack people."
"Clan Leader Bai, you've definitely won yourself a core position!"
"Tell us the story of how you met the eighth prince so that everyone can feel happy!"
Bai Wuheng could naturally hear that Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming were deliberately mocking him, but he did not flare-up.
He was really depressed at the moment. It was one thing to make things worse, but he had lost all his wealth. Although he had become less rich than he previously was, he was still richer than the poor as the eighth prince had given him a million low-grade spirit stones to save his life.
However, if the other three great clans find out that the eighth prince had given up on the Bai clan, it was likely that the Bai clan would be expelled from the four great families!
He had to do something.
'F*ck, why did I follow such a sissy and stingy person?!' Bai Wuheng thought to himself.
At this moment, Lin Mo also entered Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
Compared to the bitter-looking Bai Wuheng, Lin Mo was in high spirits. Behind him were Wu Jin and Miao Qing, which made the entire Drunken Immortal Restaurant lively.
"Hry, isn't this Owner Lin? Come and sit down." Qi Yueheng stood up and said.
The juniors of the various large families in Drunken Immortal Restaurant also hurriedly stood up to welcome him, but behind the pretense, they were quite dissatisfied.
They were clearly of the same age as Lin Mo, but Lin Mo was able to ascend to a high position and chat cheerfully with the various large family heads!
Were they just going to act like little brothers and shout here and there?
In Drunken Immortal Restaurant, a slim and graceful beauty under the guidance of the sisters gave Lin Mo a meaningful glance.
"He's still a good-looking talent and is not as stinky as you say. It's just that… This Lin Mo looks too young, isn't he a puppet that someone brought out?"
"Prince…" the white-robed Qing Wen said nervously, "This Lin Mo is only good at pretending, but he's actually very greedy!"
The black-robed Qing Wu's face was even paler as she said, "Seeing such an unruly person, why is there a need for the prince to reveal his true identity? Qing Wu, Qing Wen, just go and capture him."
"Moreover… what should we do if Bai Wuheng finds out? Such a vile person will definitely repay kindness with hatred! Please think twice, prince!"
Who would have thought that this beautiful and beautiful woman was actually the eighth prince, who the citizens of the imperial city called weak?
He did not put on any makeup and said with his brows slightly lowered, "Do you really think that I will let the Bai clan off? The Bai clan has been relying on our power for so many years. How can they be willing to be defeated in one night?"
"This Bai Wuheng definitely has to do something… For a dead person, it's fine even if we let him know part of the truth."
Qing Wen and Qing Wu were shocked. They did not think that this eighth prince would be so ruthless. The eighth prince did not even frown before he sentenced Bai Wuheng to death!
As expected, accompanying a prince was like accompanying a tiger!
Looking at Lin Mo, Bai Wuheng did not feel good either. He had nowhere to vent the frustration in his heart, so he said a few sour words to Lin Mo, "What? Even Manager Lin likes to come to such a romantic place?"
"I thought Manager Lin was a good-looking person and didn't like to hang out with us elders who drink."
However, Lin Mo completely ignored him!
He came here this time because he wanted to take advantage of the fact that there were many people in Drunken Immortal Restaurant to organize a small-scale auction!
If there was money to be made, who would care about a person like Bai Wuheng?
Lin Mo directly looked at Qi Yueheng and said with a fake smile, "Didn't you say that you all like to gather at Hundred Flowers Restaurant? Why did you come to Drunken Immortal Restaurant tonight?"
Everyone was also dumbfounded, Qi Yueheng said in surprise, "Isn't Drunken Immortal Restaurant the property of the Lin family? It was also newly opened. Originally, the Bai clan mainly held a banquet at Hundred Flowers Restaurant. However, when we heard that Drunken Immortal Restaurant had a new opening event, we changed to this place."
"Huh?"
Lin Mo's face was full of question marks.
The Lin family's business was an auction house. Why would they hold a night session and play with flower wine? Bai Wuheng must have been tricked by someone, right?
Just as everyone realized that something was wrong, suddenly, the sound of footsteps could be heard.
Accompanied by two ladies, a peerless beauty swayed her body as she slowly walked down the stairs.
"I opened it."
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked over.
"Everyone's expenses today will be on my account. If you have any needs in the future, you can just spend some time in this Drunken Immortal Restaurant."
"But let's make it clear first, our Drunken Immortal Restaurant only drinks wine and doesn't do anything else."
"If anyone has dirty hands, Don't blame me for being impolite."
This woman spoke in a bewitching manner. Her appearance was somewhat exotic, noble, and charming.
The men present were all stunned. Lin Mo looked at the family heads in astonishment.
"Whose relative is this?"
Chapter 149 - No Auction, But It's a Robbery Instead?
Chapter 149: No Auction, But It's a Robbery Instead?
Everyone present in Lin City was people with power.
Take Bai Wuheng for example, he could get five million low-grade spiritual stones with a single sentence. He was a powerful figure in any place!
However, this woman actually dared to call herself 'this majesty' in front of these powerful figures?
Qi Yuexeng was the first to speak. "I've never seen this lady before."
Zhao Gongming also said suspiciously, "It's more than that… If Lin City had such a beautiful lady, wouldn't we know?"
"This shopkeeper looks to be in his early twenties, right? His temperament seems exceptionally mature."
The people of the western regions developed earlier.
This woman did not look old, but she already exuded an alluring mature and charming temperament.
Her figure was even more devilish.
Not only that, there were two women who accompanied her, one in black and the other in white.
The black-clothed woman was cold and beautiful, while the white-clothed woman was delicate and pitiful. They were also of the highest quality!
If these three beauties were placed in Lin City, others definitely could not compare to them.
Everyone dared to say that there was no woman in the entire Lin City who was more beautiful than these three, even if it was difficult to even get close to them!
However, there must be something wrong with the matter. Originally, these family heads were all rash fellows, but because of this woman's aura, they could not say anything else.
The woman nodded slightly. "I haven't introduced myself. My name is Zi Yue, this is Qing Wen, and this is Qing Wu."
"Zi Yue came from the Purple Cloud Holy Land. The holy land has been spending a lot of money recently, so it was inevitable that she had to do some business. I did not inform you in advance, so I hope you will forgive me."
So she was from the Purple Cloud Holy Land!
'Zi Yue'explained her origin clearly.
However, Lin Mo clearly saw that Bai Wuheng's face showed a terrified expression, and cold sweat kept falling from his forehead. He widened his eyes as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Master," Wu Jin frowned and said, "Something seems to be wrong. Why did a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land come to Lin City? I'm afraid she's not here for the auction."
"I guess so." Lin Mo continued to observe.
He saw everyone looking at each other.
Qi Yueheng, who was more courageous, laughed straightforwardly. He toasted and said, "So she's a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land! No wonder she's so beautiful!"
"But this lady isn't just here to open a restaurant, right?"
"The head of the Qi clan is very smart." Zi Yue pursed her lips and nodded. Her words and actions were very polite.
Qi Yueheng was stunned. "You know me?"
"Of course I know you." Zi Yue looked at the crowd and started to introduce them one by one. "This is Clan Leader Bai, this is Clan Leader Zhao, this is Lil' Wu, and Lil' Miao."
"This is…"
When she looked at Lin Mo, Zi Yue's charming gaze lingered for a moment.
"He must be the nouveau riche whose name shook the entire Lin City. Mr. Lin Mo, you are indeed incomparably heroic."
Good heavens, so she was here for Lin Mo!
At this moment, everyone understood.
Since Zi Yue claimed to be of the Purple Clouds Holy Land, could it be that she heard that there was an auction in the Lin city that could sell high-level cultivation methods, arrays, and elixirs, so she could not sit still and came over to inquire about the situation?
Wu Jin did not expect Zi Yue to do her homework so well. He whispered into Lin Mo's ear, "Master, that's right. She should be here to buy something."
"How do you know?" Lin Mo retorted. "You just believe what others say? You haven't seen a single cent. Who knows if she's from the Purple Cloud Holy Land?"
With the help of Qing Wen and Qing Wu, Zi Yue walked to an empty table and sat down gracefully.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment. No one had expected that the originally lively banquet would come to Lin City and Zi Yue one after another to steal the spotlight!
Bai Wuheng's reputation had been swept clean.
However, Bai Wuheng, who had bid for the big-ticket item, had rarely kept a low profile tonight. This made the younger generation of the Bai clan confused.
"Miss Zi Yue," Lin Mo said with a smile.
"Young Master Lin, please speak." Zi Yue narrowed her eyes and replied Lin Mo gently.
Huff…
Lin Mo could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
"Master, this Zi Yue is so amazing! Does she know some charming technique or what? She smiled at me just now, and I almost fainted!" Wu Jin said with a pale face.
Miao Qing rolled her eyes at him. "Is she even looking at you? What narcissism…"
However, even Lin Mo felt that this Zi Yue was powerful. He thought of all the things he had done from Beginner's Heart Village to Lin City.
Lin Mo was certain that this Zi Yue definitely did not come from the Purple Cloud Holy Land.
In reality, there were quite a number of people who knew the Qinghuai Holy Land. It was said that the Zhao clan had once allied with the Qinghuai Holy Land. However, they had never heard of how powerful were the people who came from the holy land. Were they not ordinary people?
Nonetheless, this Ziyue had an extraordinary bearing. In front of her, the family heads like Zhao Gongming and Qi Yueheng were like little rascals!
Only Lin Mo could barely deal with them!
Lin Mo instantly confirmed her identity.
'She's definitely from the Imperial City. If not, Hmm… I won't talk about it anymore.'
After making a judgment in his heart, Lin Mo began to carefully deal with her. "Miss Zi Yue, since you're here on behalf of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, let's get straight to the point."
"It just so happens that we still have some medicinal pills in our auction. The reason why I'm here tonight is to clear out our stock and hold a temporary auction."
"If Miss Zi Yue is interested, why don't you represent the Purple Cloud Holy Land and participate in the auction together?"
"That's fine too," Zi Yue said politely.
Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, and the others immediately rolled their eyes at Lin Mo. .
"I knew this fellow was full of evil tricks. So he's here to hold an auction…"
He had just auctioned off a five million low-grade spiritual stones array, and now he was here to hold an auction?
Did this Lin Mo really think that the three great clans operated a spiritual stone mine?
Everyone was looking forward to it. After waiting for Lin Mo to take out the auction items, Lin Mo did not hesitate and took out a jade bottle from his waist, he grinned and said, "What's in this bottle is a low-grade tier 4 small recovery pill. The user can recover a certain amount of vitality and use it as an ordinary person. It has the effect of reviving from the dead."
"As the first item to be auctioned tonight, I won't raise the price. How about 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones?"
The surroundings were in an uproar!
Even Miao Qing could o't hold it in any longer.
One had to know that the small recovery pill was a low-grade tier 4 pill!
Although it could still be considered rare in the outside world, it was really nothing in Lin Mo's eyes! It could even be considered cheap!
Such a cheap pill was actually bid for 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones? Was this daylight robbery?
As expected, Qi Yueheng and the others, who had always been in an endless stream of auctions, almost spat out their wine when they heard the small recovery pill's price. They waved their hands and said that they would not bid any more.
Chapter 150 - A 1.6 Million Pledge of Allegiance?
Chapter 150: A 1.6 Million Pledge of Allegiance?
Zi Yue was the only one who remained calm. She reached out her hand and said, "Can you show me the quality of this small recovery pill?"
Lin Mo was not at a disadvantage either. He raised his hand and asked Miao Qing to send the small recovery pill over.
When Zi Yue opened the jade bottle, there were two small recovery pills inside.
It was obvious that Qing Wen and Qing Wu were people who knew what was good for them. When they saw that the small recovery pill's starting price was 200,000, they felt that something was not right.
They did not expect Zi Yue to be so good at acting!
She actually had a pleasantly surprised expression and said excitedly, "Such a high-quality pill actually only costs 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones?"
"Hearing that, Mr. Lin is kind-hearted. Seeing it today, it is indeed so… if it is possible, I will buy the small recovery pills for the Purple Cloud Holy Land!"
'What? buy them?'
'Damn it!'
Qi Yueheng and the rest broke out in cold sweat. They thought to themselves, 'Missy, can you even afford a pill that costs 200,000 spiritual stones?'
This was a pill, and it was an emergency medicine! It could only be used once! It was not something like a medicinal bath that could be used for a long time.
Was it not too extravagant?
Seeing that Zi Yue bought out the small recovery pills in one bite, Wu Qun and Miao Qing were extremely surprised.
Lin Mo was also very surprised, but he did not show it on his face. After all, Zi Yue said that she was buying it, but he had not seen the money yet.
Then, he saw Zi Yue elegantly take out a fragrant money bag from her waist. Just as she placed it on the table, he heard a heavy sound.
Zi Yue said apologetically, "Mr. Lin, I am here on behalf of the Purple Cloud Holy Land. A money bag contains at least a million low-grade spiritual stones. These two small recovery pills cost 400,000, and Mr. Lin still has to give me 600,000 spiritual stones back, right??"
"Hiss…" Qi Yueheng let out a horrifying sound and gave a thumbs up, "The Purple Cloud Holy Land is actually so rich. As expected of a holy land. Tonight, we mortals have been enlightened!"
Lin Mo also stared at the bag, and it did not seem like it was fake, "Then may I ask if Miss Zi Yue still wants to buy it?"
"If you continue to buy, I'm afraid that one bag is not enough."
"Of course, I'll buy it." With another heavy sound, Zi Yue took out three bags and gathered a total of four bags. Everyone was stunned by what they saw, "Mr. Lin is so kind to sell such top-grade medicinal pills at such a low price. Saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda. How can our Purple Cloud Holy Land not support it?"
This woman was so amazing!
Lin Mo clearly knew that this Zi Yue was full of lies. She was definitely making things up.
However, Lin Mo could not help but want to believe her.
Moreover, this woman's charm was also very amazing.
If it was anyone else who was staring at him, they would have long been daydreaming.
It was already not easy for Lin Mo to still be able to think calmly.
[ Congratulations on auctioning a low-grade tier 4 medicinal pill, small recovery pill. ]
[ Obtained 5,000 times the profit. ]
[ Congratulations on obtaining a mid-grade tier 5 medicinal pill, 13 Sword Strikes. ]
…
After obtaining 400,000 low-tier spiritual stones, Lin Mo did not have the time to be excited. Instead, he wanted to probe Zi Yue a little more.
He took out another mid-grade tier 5 pill, 13 Sword Strikes.
"This pill is a mid-tier 5 pill, 13 Sword Strikes."
"Just like its name suggests, the pill can only be used once, but it can instantly contain 13 sword intents! and each sword intent is different!"
"It's extremely powerful!"
"Previously, the family heads did not bid. This time, you shouldn't hesitate, right?"
"This is the 13 Sword Strikes! I'll bid 800,000! Those who are interested can start bidding!"
800,000?!
Even though 800,000 was still a huge sum of money.
However, Qi Yueheng and the others became serious this time.
The products of the Lin auction house were definitely high quality. There was no trickery involved.
Furthermore, based on what Lin Mo said, the 13 Sword Strikes could be used to save one's life!
If used properly, it could even kill an opponent of a higher level and fight two opponents at the same time!
Although it was expensive, there was indeed a reason for it to be expensive.
"I still have intentions," Zi Yue said gently.
However, Qi Yueheng stretched out his hand and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Miss Zi Yue. Our Qi clan didn't gain much today."
"Although this pill is expensive, it can save lives and kill people. It's a top-grade item. Even if we sell it, we won't lose out."
"Our Qi clan will treat it as a business transaction… 850,000!"
Very good.
Lin Mo was instantly satisfied.
There was someone bidding, so this was an auction!
However, Qi Yueheng's words made Zi Yue snort coldly, as if she was determined to get it.
In an instant, she threw a bag onto Lin Mo's table.
"My Purple Cloud Holy Land has always hated snatching things from others."
"One million… Clan Leader Qi, you won't raise the price again, right?"
"This…" Qi Yueheng's face was pale, thinking to himself, how could there be such a thing?
Everyone was also discussing animatedly.
They usually raised the price by 10,000 to 50,000. If they met something they really liked, or if their family gave them a mission, they would definitely bid for it.
Only then would they consider raising the bid by 100,000!
However, Zi Yue actually raised the bid from 850,000 to 1,000,000?!
Although the four great clans were backed by the imperial city and held the resources of Lin City in their hands, they were still clans after all.
Under Zi Yue's strong performance, Qi Yueheng was unwilling to accept it, but he could only accept it and helplessly clench his fists.
"F*ck," Qi Yueheng said, "This Purple Cloud Holy Land hides in the holy land all day long. What's the point of having the 13 Sword Strikes?"
"I'm afraid that this Zi Yue has taken a liking to Lin Mo and wants to cooperate with him! This is a pledge of allegiance!"
Another 1,000,000 spiritual stones!
[ Congratulations on auctioning the tier 5 mid-grade medicinal pill, 13 Sword Strikes. ]
[ Obtained 7,000 times the profit. ]
[ Congratulations on obtaining the tier 6 mid-grade medicinal pill, clear heart blood coagulation pill. ]
[ Clear heart blood coagulation pill: can remove the negative state of the body in a short period of time, and solidify the blood to achieve the effect of feigning death. It can also be used in battle. By activating the clear heart blood coagulation pill, it can unleash a fatal blow. ]
It was actually such a good item?
Lin Mo did not expect that this return would actually produce such an extremely powerful medicinal pill in battle!
Moreover, it was a tier 6 medicinal pill!
No matter what, this thing could not be sold.
After all, it could fake death, maintain one's consciousness, and even burst forth with an extremely great battle prowess!
It was a top-grade medicinal pill that could protect one's self.
…
Three high-priced medicinal pills were bought, causing the others to turn their heads away.
On the other hand, Qing Wen and Qing Wu looked extremely aggrieved. Clearly, they felt that these three medicinal pills were not worth this price.
However, Zi Yue's attitude was exceptionally firm.
She did not even bat an eyelid.
This 1.6 million seemed to be given to Lin Mo. .
This kind of magnanimity… Who would believe that she was not from the Imperial City?
Even if Lin Mo were to spend this money himself, his heart would still ache!
"Looks like there's still some gains from tonight's auction…" Under the envious gazes of the crowd, Lin Mo laughed heartily.
After returning the 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones to Zi Yue, he immediately made a move to flee!
What a joke! If he did not flee after earning money through the difference in price, what was the point of him staying here?
In truth, Lin Mo had already guessed that Zi Yue was most likely here for the array in his hands.
However, he did not quite understand how Zi Yue knew that he had the array in his hands?
Even if Zi Yue had found out through the news of Bai Wuheng's successful auction, was it not a little too extravagant to spend 1.6 million spiritual stones?
Chapter 151 - Zi Yue's Killing Intent
Chapter 151: Zi Yue's Killing Intent
Zi Yue definitely had a secret on her.
If she was involved, it would probably cause a lot of trouble.
"Mr. Lin, wait a moment!" Seeing that Lin Mo was about to leave, Zi Yue hurriedly urged him to stay. "Mr. Lin is a very good person. This time, he sold three medicinal pills to my Purple Cloud Holy Land, which greatly improved my holy land."
"I still have many matters to discuss with Mr. Lin… why don't we meet upstairs?"
Was she inviting him?
Once these words were said, even Bai Wuheng, who had been silent for a long time, was a little shocked.
It was because 'Zi Yue' had found a new puppet.
Zi Yue wanted to use Lin Mo to replace the Bai clan's function.
Lin Mo was also silent for a long time. He looked at Zi Yue's graceful figure, as well as the worried eyes of Wu Jin and Miao Qing…
"Alright."
The men were envious.
"What right does he have?! This guy earns money and has beautiful women to accompany him! This time, it's a lady from the Purple Cloud Holy Land! I've never seen such a beautiful woman in my life!"
"Why? Where did this guy get his luck from? First, he got so many rare treasures… and now, he's getting beauties!"
"I can't even stand the sight of the new manager ofDrunken Immortal Restaurant! Sharing a room together? Is Lin Mo that honest?"
Actually, Lin Mo's heart was a little shaken, but with his cultivation level, he could still suppress it.
It was as if he knew what Zi Yue's true motive was.
He had decided that once Zi Yue mentioned an array during the process, he would immediately leave.
When necessary, he would even attack Zi Yue.
This was because he did not rule out the possibility that Zi Yue and the forces behind her would kill and steal the treasure.
"Thank you, Mr. Lin," Zi Yue said in satisfaction. The corners of her lips curled up in a bewitching manner as she slowly went upstairs.
Looking at the group of envious men, Lin Mo asked Wu Jin and Miao Qing to stand guard downstairs. He deliberately said loudly, "'Mr.' doesn't sound nice. You should call me 'young master' in the future."
"Yes, Young Master Lin."
"Wow`"
This time, even Lin Mo himself was shocked.
To be called 'young master' by a beautiful young lady…It would be a lie to say that he was unhappy!
…
In the boudoir…
Under Qing Wen and Qing Wu's vigilant gaze, Lin Mo had just stepped into the room when he felt that something was wrong. He subconsciously prepared to use the clear heart blood coagulation pill.
It was not because of anything else.
It was because this room was too new. It was as if they had just started living there.
If that was really the case…
Zi Yue brought two beauties to Lin City and came looking for him. Was her motive not too obvious?
If she said that there was no problem, even Zi Yue herself would not believe it.
"Young master, why must you be so cautious?"
Seemingly noticing Lin Mo's caution, Zi Yue said softly.
Lin Mo subconsciously squeezed out a smile, but his attention was diverted.
At this moment, he suddenly felt his eyes darken.
Just as he thought that something was wrong, his whole body went soft, and even his consciousness almost collapsed!
A strange rosemary scent almost caused Lin Mo's spiritual sense to withdraw, and he could not control his body at all.
Zi Yue, this woman, was still pretending. As she went up to hug Lin Mo, she said innocently, "Ah! Young master, what happened to you?"
Qing Wen and Qing Wu pulled out their swords skillfully and pressed them against Lin Mo's waist and neck.
The coolness from the blade woke Lin Mo up.
Damn it!
How could someone as careful as Lin Mo fall into the trap here?
Moreover…
Smelling the strange rosemary scent, Lin Mo instantly understood something.
This knockout drug was definitely not something Zi Yue found an opportunity to use when Lin Mo entered the room.
Instead, it had been on her all along.
In fact, the reason why people felt that her charm skill was very strong…
Was because this charm skill was a kind of 'trigger' of the knockout incense!
It was precisely because of this charm skill that she was able to trigger the knockout incense!
It had already played a role in causing people to only be able to defend against the charm skill and ignore the knockout incense.
Lin Mo often came into contact with top-grade medicinal pills. What kind of ingredients had he not come into contact with before?
However, this fragrance was something that Lin Mo had never heard of before.
From this, it could be seen that Lin Mo was quickly certain of an answer in his heart.
This Zi Yue was not only from the imperial city, but it was also very likely from the imperial family!
This knockout incense was definitely something that the imperial family did not announce!
It was because the imperial family had many experts and were rich in resources, they were able to concoct a knockout incense that even experts like Lin Mo were unable to guard against!
Lin Mo fainted in Zi Yue's embrace. He only felt that Zi Yue's delicate body was like a piece of soft jade, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.
In addition, the three women quickly moved to the bed. On the bed, Zi Yue leaned against the headboard, causing Lin Mo to fall into her embrace in a daze.
Qing Wen and Qing Wu were in charge of being on guard.
They did not notice that the effects of the clear heart blood coagulation pill were unknowingly flowing into Lin Mo's body!
"Young Master Lin, can you hear me…"
"I want to know if Young Master Lin still has an array…"
"Our Purple Cloud Holy Land really needs a tier 7 array to defend against external enemies…"
It was indeed related to arrays!
A wave of vanilla smell suddenly entered the tip of Lin Mo's nose.
When the clear heart blood coagulation pill took effect, Lin Mo still pretended to be affected and closed his eyes to sleep in Zi Yue's embrace.
He felt Zi Yue gently caress his head as if she was coaxing a child, slowly enticing him to reveal the secret.
Lin Mo was not sure whether Zi Yue wanted to kill him to silence him, or was she just trying to get the truth out of him?
Just as Lin Mo was thinking of a countermeasure, the beautiful black-robed lady, Qing Wu suddenly said, "Eight… cough cough, master, why don't we just kill this fellow and take away all the things of the Lin family!"
"How can such an ant be worthy of the master's embrace? Qing Wu is truly feeling wronged on behalf of you!"
'Alright! You Qing Wu!'
Qing Wu's words actually made Lin Mo want to kill her! A wave of sword intent appeared in his palm.
Putting everything else aside, with his strength and the augmentation of the clear heart blood coagulation pill, it would be easy for him to burst out and instantly kill the three women.
At most, he would be struck back and heavily injured.
However, when Zi Yue rejected this idea, Lin Mo let out a cold moan and let the three ladies off.
"Let's not talk about this. I am a schemer and not a bandit. How can I do such despicable things?"
'Look at the situation of others!'
As Lin Mo thought about this, he heard Qing Wu gnashing her teeth. She seemed to be very unhappy that Lin Mo was enjoying Zi Yue's embrace.
He immediately laughed coldly and pretended to have a headache. He rubbed his head against Zi Yue's body and even placed his head on Zi Yue's white jade neck. It felt very comfortable.
Qing Wu was furious as she watched this.
Zi Yue also seemed to have little contact with men. Goosebumps appeared all over her body.
Right at this moment…
Lin Mo quietly opened his eyes. He saw Zi Yue's milk-like skin, her beautiful figure, and a strange yellow pendant.
Lin Mo wondered what this pendant was?
Upon closer inspection, he was indeed shocked!
"This Zi Yue… is actually… a prince of the Yanhuang Divine Empire?!"
On Zi Yue's waist was a hidden royal pendant, which could also be called an identity card.
Lin Mo was, after all, a person of status, and Miao Qing had once explained it to him.
In the Yanhuang Divine Empire, there were a total of thirteen princes, and each prince had an identity card.
Lin Mo had never seen the identity tokens of the others, but the second prince, fourth prince, and eighth Prince were the leaders of the Qi, Zhao, and Bai clans respectively.
Lin Mo had paid attention to their identity tokens.
Chapter 152 - The Heart of a Prince, the Body of a Woman
Chapter 152: The Heart of a Prince, the Body of a Woman
The second prince's pendant was a dragon that was shaped like a phoenix, which meant to climb up to the ranks.
After all, he was the second prince. How could he use a true dragon pendant to offend the crown prince's Dignity?
The Yanhuang Divine Empire adopted the system of the eldest son inheriting the throne.
Usually, when the emperor was not doing anything, the crown prince would supervise the country.
The crown prince was very capable and managed the country well.
This made the emperor very satisfied and protected the crown prince everywhere.
In addition, there was not only one country in this era.
When the people had nothing to do, they would talk about national affairs.
It could be said that the second prince's thoughts were known to everyone!
However, with the emperor's protection, the second prince did not dare to act rashly.
The fourth prince was born to the prime minister's wife, Wang Xiaoxiao.
The Wang family was a common surname in the Imperial City, so the fourth prince's pendant was similar to the word 'Wang'.
Due to the family's problems, the fourth prince should have taken the route of being the prime minister's assistant.
However, he was also a prince, so he was ostracized everywhere and stayed away from the imperial court!
As a result, the fourth prince complained about heaven and earth and fell in love with feng shui!
However, everyone knew that the fourth prince was just using superstition to develop his own power.
It was said that he was inextricably linked to the White Lotus Holy Land.
The eighth prince's pendant was in the shape of a water dragon.
It was said that the eighth prince had been weak and sickly since he was young, and his identity was mysterious.
Not many people had seen him, but they all said that he had a feminine personality and was weak and incompetent!
Naturally, the eighth prince was also the most ostracized.
Especially after the second prince and the fourth prince formed a clique for personal gain, they were extremely wary of the eighth prince.
Rumors in the pugilistic world said that the eighth prince was a woman, and the crown prince liked her very much, almost causing a disaster.
This caused the emperor to be furious, and he did not like the eighth prince very much.
There were also people who said that the eighth prince had cultivated a cultivation technique that required him to sever his own male genitals, angering the emperor. In short, there were many rumors about the eighth prince.
However, Lin Mo had never expected that he would actually meet the real thing today…
Moreover, this eighth prince was not only a woman but also a great beauty!
"I won't get into trouble this time, right?"
With Lin Mo's intelligence, he quickly guessed that the eighth prince was here to inspect Bai Wuheng.
Moreover, the so-called 'Zi Yue' was also a completely fake name.
However, the fact that the eighth prince cared so much about Lim Mo made him feel a little flattered.
A dignified prince actually hugged him so gently? Moreover, he did not use torture to interrogate Lin Mo?
"Looks like Bai Wuheng is going to be unlucky… This eighth prince is clearly trying to buy people's hearts. I'm afraid he has taken a liking to our auction house."
The auction house had a large amount of people who came and go, which could be used to conceal one's identity.
Moreover, Zi Yue was royalty, so she could obtain many good things from the Imperial City. Whether it was to make money or cash out, there were always many ways.
No matter how one compared it, it was better than spending money to feed the Bai clan's trash.
However, Zi Yue was here for the array.
Lin Mo looked at his warehouse. Other than the array that the system had previously rewarded him with…
There was only a tier 7 mid-grade array left.
"Miss Zi Yue, I do have an array called the Mysterious Heaven Array."
"It's just that it's not for defense, but for cultivation… if Miss Zi Yue is the manager of the Purple Cloud Holy Land, bringing this Mysterious Heaven Array back to the Holy Land would be able to strengthen the holy land."
As Lin Mo spoke, Qing Wu and Qing Wen did not expect Lin Mo to really have a tier 7 mid-grade array!
Among high-quality arrays, the teleportation spell arrays were the cheapest, and one could get someone to customize them at any time.
The slightly more advanced one was the defensive arrays, and then the offensive arrays.
The most advanced one was naturally the cultivation arrays!
When Zi Yue heard this, her eyes instantly lit up, and she said in disbelief, "You're saying that you have a cultivation array in your hands?"
"Tell me the truth, how big is this array? Is it enough for the holy land to use?"
The holy land was a secret realm.
The powerful holy land was endless and was formed by occupying ancient secret manuals.
The man-made holy land was at least a few thousand square kilometers!
"It's enough to cover 20,000 square kilometers!"
As Lin Mo said this, not only Zi Yue, even Qing Wen and Qing wu were stunned.
"Master, if this fellow isn't lying, it's just enough for your palace! Why don't we kill him, seize the array formation, and return home?"
Why does this Qing Wu always want to kill him?
"As long as you're willing to open a path for me, let alone ten thousand taels of gold, I can even get the saintess of the Purple Clouds Holy Land for you!"
'Bluffs huh? Continue bluffing.'
Looking at Zi Yue's cold face, Lin Mo snickered in his heart.
He already knew that Zi Yue was the legendary eighth prince. No matter how great attractive Zi Yue's conditions were, he would never believe it.
Not to mention, there were four empires in this era.
Although the Yanhuang Divine Empire was good, in Lin Mo's mind, the Great Yan Divine Empire next door was more suitable for the development of the auction house.
He would definitely move to the Great Yan Divine Empire in the future, so he did not want to have anything to do with this beautiful prince.
"Young Master Lin, if this Mysterious Heaven Array was sold by auctioning, how much would it cost?"
Seeing Zi Yue's interest, Lin Mo raised his brows.
Zi Yue was a prince!
Even if Zi Yue was ostracized again, she should not be short of money, right?
As the saying goes, fortune favors the brave! Without hesitation, Lin Mo made a hand gesture.
"Eight, eight million?!" Even Qing Wu was shocked, and the sword was about to cut Lin Mo's throat. "Do you really think the master is a fool?"
"You greedy b*stard! Do you know that Lin City's annual income is only four million low-grade spiritual stones?!"
"Those aristocratic families only borrowed the power of the Imperial City to amass wealth everywhere. They only earned seven million spiritual stones a year!"
Eight million spiritual stones?
Who could withstand that?
Lin Mo did not expect to hear such information from Qing Wu.
From the looks of it, the leaders of the three great clans in Lin City were all out of money.
They had bought so many things, most likely to sell them off or expand their businesses.
The Yanhuang Divine Empire was vast and had a lot of resources. There were many places that had yet to be opened up, and spiritual stone mountains were often excavated.
Although spiritual stone mountains were the imperial court's business, there were also many people who used their private power to do it in private.
The three great clans had accumulated their resources through the auction, so they could definitely cooperate to form a small force.
If they had the intention, they could use this batch of resources to search for spiritual stone mountains and open up fertile land.
This time, the three great clans would most likely take off!
Therefore, when Lin Mo thought about the rise of the three great clans and the endless voices coming from the Lin auction house, Lin Mo had never thought of cooperating with Zi Yue.
At most, he would just shed all pretenses of cordiality!
A prince who was not liked, and was not afraid of the people within the eighth prince's sphere of influence… if he wanted to scam someone, he could just do it!
As expected…
"Qing Wu… shut up." Zi Yue's expression was unsightly. Knowing that she had been scammed, Zi Yue still reluctantly agreed. "Eight million needs to be dispatched, and I can't take it out at this time."
"But Mr. Lin, don't worry. I don't need this eight million. I just need to sell some materials… If Mr. Lin is willing, I'll pay a three million deposit first. Mr. Lin, can you give me the array first?"
Chapter 153 - The Death of Bai Wuheng!
Chapter 153: The Death of Bai Wuheng!
"This…"
Based on what Zi Yue said, was she trying to scam Lin Mo?
Lin Mo definitely would not believe a single word of what the royal family said.
He guessed that the so-called down payment was most likely the full amount.
As for a tier 7 mid-grade formation, selling it for 8 million was definitely too expensive.
However, selling it for 5 million was still a piece of cake.
Zi Yue was so generous, yet she only wanted to use 3 million to buy this tier 7 mid-grade formation?
It seemed like she was not as rich as she was rumored to be!
"It's possible, but you should come to the auction during the next auction."
"Help our auction house attract some traffic."
"Alright, I promise you."
When Zi Yue heard this, she was clearly a little excited, so she did not stay in her room for too long. Instead, she controlled Lin Mo to sleep before leaving.
However, she did not expect Lin Mo to be completely awake.
After Zi Yue left, Lin Mo realized that Bai Wuheng might be in danger, so he hurriedly followed after her.
…
Outside the Drunken Immortal Restaurant.
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed.
Bai Wuheng walked in the Lin City gloomily. From time to time, he would look at the Drunken Immortal Restaurant from afar and think of countermeasures.
This damned eighth prince actually came to Lin City personally. Moreover, was she not afraid afraid of the risk of exposing her secret when meeting Lin Mo?
The most terrifying thing was that the eighth prince deliberately exposed the fact that she was a woman to Bai Wuheng.
This meant that Bai Wuheng was in great danger!
In the dark night, a spark appeared.
Bai Wuheng's gaze focused, and he instantly turned his head. He saw a mysterious man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a long knife, silently looking at him.
"Executioner? How is this possible… Isn't the executioner not under the orders of the Ministry of Justice?!"
Bai Wuheng's expression was as if he had seen a ghost when he saw the mysterious person.
However, logically speaking, his strength should not be weak!
However, not long after, along with a blood-curdling scream at the entrance of the alley, Bai Wuheng let out a mournful scream. Black blood spewed out of his mouth as he tried his best to crawl towards the entrance of the alley.
"B*tch! You're so heartless!!"
Bai Wuheng used all his strength to scream, but in the eyes of the man, it was just a struggle.
Lin Mo watched this scene with his eyes wide open. In front of him were Zi Yue, Qing Wen, and Qing Wu, who were in the shadows.
This powerful woman had actually used the manpower of the Ministry of Justice to execute Bai Wuheng. There seemed to be a lot of secrets in there.
However, when he saw the mysterious person's cultivation technique, Lin Mo's hair also stood up. It was extremely beneficial.
The mysterious person's attacks were swift and fierce, and each and every one of them was fatal. The movement technique merged with the darkness, making it difficult for one to see or hear.
This movement technique was already strange enough. In addition, his long blade seemed to be used for execution!
No wonder all the cultivators in the world were unwilling to provoke the imperial court. If it were him, he would not be willing either.
The top-tier cultivation techniques and footwork displayed by the mysterious man were clearly better than what he had come into contact with.
Lin Mo had to think of a way to trick Zi Yue and see if he could get a few cultivation techniques from her. Then, he could obtain more advanced cultivation techniques of the same kind through the auction.
However, Bai Wuheng was about to die.
Looking at Zi Yue's attitude, she was not even prepared to leave any last words for Bai Wuheng, much less meet him!
Should he make a move this time or not?
Lin Mo decided to wait for a while more.
He could only say that Bai Wuheng was unlucky. If it were any other time, Lin Mo might have helped him.
After all, the Bai clan was also a big customer of the auction house.
However, the person who wanted him dead was the eighth Prince and the royal family.
Then, Lin Mo could not help him even if he wanted to.
"However, this eighth prince is truly vicious and merciless. She used such a method to kill his own dog without leaving a trace."
"It's no wonder Zi Yue had to personally handle everything. If she was careless, with the danger the royal family is in, the second prince would probably get rid of her."
Seeing how cold-blooded Zi Yue was, the legendary second prince would probably be even more ruthless.
The emperor still did not like Zi Yue.
It was likely that even if Zi Yue's corpse had already been delivered to the emperor, the Emperor still would not be bothered with her.
The next day…
Early in the morning, the entrance of the Lin auction house was already crowded.
Over a dozen auction house guards registered at the entrance to maintain order.
"Lord Zhao has arrived!"
"The Xiao clan's clan leader is here!"
"The Bai clan's first elder is here!"
"The Bai clan's second elder is here!"
Following the shouts at the entrance, the interior of the auction house slowly filled up with people. All the family heads were present, except for Bai Wuheng.
Yesterday, Bai Wuheng's behavior was abnormal, and everyone guessed that he was reprimanded by someone sent by the eighth prince.
It was very likely that this person was that great beauty, Zi Yue, who had appeared in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant last night!
It was possible that the eighth prince even wanted to hide the Bai family.
Under Miao Qing's arrangement, the requirements for participating in the auction this time were very high. They had to be a person of high status or a person of great wealth.
Those who did not have much money on them and still wanted to come in to make up the numbers were not allowed to enter.
The specific criteria was to spend at least 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones! In other words, it was the so-called 'low consumption'.
As long as the auction item was not auctioned off, every participant had the obligation to complete the low consumption. Even though this would offend a lot of people, Miao Qing did not care about it at all.
All he cared about was that his auction would be held normally.
Furthermore, those fellows who could not afford 200,000 were probably just here to watch the show or gather intelligence.
With so many good items in Lin Mo's hands, there was no need to worry about not having anyone bid.
Very quickly, the entire auction hall was filled with people. Not a single empty seat was left.
The people inside were all important figures from all over the world. The main ones were the three great clans of Lin City. There were also dozens of small clans that came out to seek opportunities for development.
Of course, there were also quite a number of powerful freelance martial artists who passed by Lin City. They heard that there was an incredible auction house here, so they came over to take a look.
All in all, every single one of the distinguished guests were important figures.
In the private room, Miao Qing was holding a list in his hand. The list was filled with names, including their identities.
Beside him, Lin Mo was quietly guarding the side, his gaze filled with Zi Yue, who was sitting in the front row.
Yesterday, she said that she would pay Lin Mo a deposit for a tier 7 mid-grade array at the price of 3,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
Should she keep his word?
Or should she play some tricks?
Lin Mo was not worried about anything else. He just did not want Zi Yue, this woman, to get involved with him, in case it would be difficult for him to escape.
Meanwhile, Wu Jin was sitting next to Miao Qing with a calm expression, eating some fruits from time to time.
"There's a young master and a second young master from the Bai clan?"
"There's also a young master and a great elder from the neighboring Huaian City."
"Eh, there's actually a wandering cultivator? He seems to be quite powerful?"
Suddenly, a trace of surprise appeared in Miao Qing's eyes.
"I seem to remember this person…"
"Jiang Kun, a famous great thief. He cultivates a swift movement technique and can come and go without a trace. His strength isn't bad!"
"This person is quite interesting huh?" Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said.
Miao Qing revealed a surprised expression.
This was a great thief! A thief!
After taking charge of the Lin auction house, Miao Qing had become more and more interested in the industry and was prepared to make it his lifelong career.
Chapter 154 - This Godson Is Not Bad!
Chapter 154: This Godson Is Not Bad!
Miao Qing would not even notice this person!
"We have to be careful of this person."
"This person will definitely not be honest when he comes to participate in the auction."
On the side, when Wu Jin heard Tian Feng's name, his face could not help but reveal a trace of solemnity.
"Oh, why?" Hearing this, Lin Mo said with interest.
"Young master probably doesn't know this person's reputation. For so many years, Jiang Kun relied on his own strength to plunder everywhere, and even some aristocratic families weren't spared."
Miao Qing slowly told him about Jiang Kun's deeds.
"So that means this person is very rich?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo's eyes lit up.
In Lin Mo eyes, it did not matter who this person was, as long as they had the money to take down his auction items.
Of course, if this Jiang Kun dared to disobey the rules of his auction house, Lin Mo would not be polite to him either!
Seeing that Lin Mo did not take his reminder to heart, Miao Qing felt a mountain of pressure. He wanted to say something but was directly interrupted by Lin Mo.
"Since everyone is here, it's time for you to appear."
As he spoke, Lin Mo looked at Wu Jin and said, "Wu jin, hand over the management rights of this auction house to Miao Qing. I want to observe from here."
"Also, about that array that I told you about, put it aside until the end before taking it out."
"Help me arrange for people to look for a person wearing a bamboo hat nearby."
"Yes, master."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jin did not hesitate at all and directly followed Miao Qing.
Miao Qing took the ring and looked at Lin Mo with some doubt. "Young master, this ring…"
"When you go on stage later, use this ring as the first item in the auction," Lin Mo said with a smile.
Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared in Miao Qing's beautiful eyes. "Young master, what background does this Zi Yue have?"
"I'm not sure either. Just follow the normal procedure," Lin Mo said somewhat casually.
"Then young master, how should we set the starting price?" This time, Miao Qing was in a bit of a dilemma.
He had set the starting price for this auction house to be low.
Moreover, Lin Mo had handed over many cultivation techniques, pills, and items to Miao Qing to arrange.
Although Miao Qing was experienced, he did not have much confidence in setting the starting price.
"Let's set the starting price at 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones." Lin Mo thought for a moment and said indifferently, "No matter how bad an item is, it shouldn't be lower than 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones."
"Yes, young master." Although Miao Qing had some doubts in his heart, he still did as he was told.
Following that, Miao Qing slowly walked out of the private room and came to the auction stage in the middle of the auction.
"Welcome to the auction of the Lin auction house."
He took out a black ring that Lin Mo had given him.
"The first item up for auction is this black ring on my hand. This ring's origin is mysterious, it might contain some big secret."
"The auction will begin now. The starting price will be 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones!" Miao Qing had come into contact with many items before, and he knew that this ring was not of much use, so he immediately called out the starting price.
Then, as soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, the entire auction hall descended into silence.
Everyone looked at the black ring on Miao Qing's hand with a puzzled expression.
They had never seen this black ring before, and they did not know where it came from, so naturally, no one dared to call out the starting price rashly.
Although the starting bid was only 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and it was not expensive, if they were to bid for a useless item, it would be a waste of 10,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
However, there was an exception.
"11,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
Beside Bai Wuya, Bai Wuxuan saw the black ring appear, and he immediately stood up to bid.
Hearing Bai Wuxuan's bid, everyone in the auction hall was somewhat surprised.
Even Miao Qing, who was on the auction stage, had a look of surprise on his face.
This Bai Wuya was the third elder of the Bai clan. Since Bai Wuheng was not around today, Bai Wuya could only do it for him.
Bai Wuxuan was Bai Wuheng's godson. He had become famous in the Bai clan since he was young, and his abilities were outstanding. From the looks of it, he also had a dignified appearance.
However, because he did not support Bai Wuheng and the eighth prince's cooperation, he should seek refuge with the second prince. He would not be placed in an important position in the Bai clan.
Lin Mo gave Bai Wuxuan a deep look and sneered, "This Bai Wuxuan's judgment is correct… I didn't expect that Bai Wuheng would not be able to see it as clearly as his own godson."
If Lin Mo were to choose, he would choose the second prince as well.
Bai Wuheng hoped to take advantage of the eighth prince's weak position and instead be placed in an important position by the eighth prince, leading the family to soar. It was definitely an incompetent move.
Meanwhile, at the auction house.
Initially, Miao Qing did not see anyone bidding. In his opinion, this ring was most likely going to fail.
Bai Wuxuan's sudden appearance to bid gave him a pleasant surprise.
Otherwise, it would be too awkward if the first item in this auction failed to be auctioned, and this was the first time he was completely confident in setting the price.
"Wuxuan, what do you want this black ring for?" Bai Wuya looked at Bai Wuxuan in surprise.
Bai Wuya could not help but want the ring on Miao Qing's hand because he remembered that Bai Wuheng had said it before.
If he had the chance to buy a ring or a pendant at the Lin auction house, he had to buy it.
It was because it was very likely related to the storage space.
"Elder, I'll explain it to you in detail when I get back. In short, this ring is most likely a spatial ring and is very important to me," Bai Wuxuan said solemnly, "Elder, can you give it to me?"
"Alright then." Bai Wuya was stunned when he heard that, and he immediately agreed to Bai Wuxuan's request.
It was only ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. Even if Bai Wuheng was not around, it was nothing to the Bai clan.
After Bai Wuxuan called out the price, the entire auction fell into silence again.
Other than Bai Wuya and Bai Wuxuan of the Bai clan, no one knew what this ring was.
Naturally, they did not want to spend more than 10,000 to buy it.
This was how auctions were. It was no different from gambling. Sometimes, there were some special cultivation methods and tools. It was one thing for the auction house to quote the price, but it was another thing for the actual value.
[ Congratulations on auctioning your spatial ring. ]
[ You have received 3,000 times the profit. ]
[ Congratulations on obtaining a Purple-Gold Spatial Ring. ]
[ Spatial ring: can Store 500 x 500 items ]
[ Purple-Gold Spatial Ring: Can Store 50, 000 x 50,000 items, living things, and small-scale arrays. ]
Chapter 155 - Bai Wuxuan's Request!
Chapter 155: Bai Wuxuan's Request!
50,000?
Lin Mo took a closer look and discovered that the 50,000 was extremely flexible.
It could be space, or it could be quality.
In fact, if Lin Mo was willing, he could hide a person inside!
However, the person hiding inside the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring would die very quickly. He had to find a solution, as it was the same for other living creatures.
At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly thought of the clear heart blood coagulation pill!
If he had this thing, he would be able to hide the person in the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring!
Moreover, the Purple-Gold Spatial Ring clearly had a higher-level version.
The effects of this ring would definitely be extremely perverse.
"These two fellows have good taste." Lin Mo looked at Bai Wuya and Bai Wuxuan with approval.
He thought that since these two were sent by the second prince, they seemed to be more powerful than the other members of the Bai clan. They might be able to come into contact with the second prince.
However, the Bai clan's business was huge. Even if Bai Wuheng fell, it would not be easy for them to be replaced in a short period of time.
Would Zi Yue support the puppets and temporarily let someone lead the Bai clan? This was still unknown.
"This woman, Zi Yue, is really troublesome."
"Ever since she came, I can't stand on either side."
"This woman… Why doesn't she know how to just watch from the side?"
Lin Mo shook his head, but then he thought of Zi Yue's embrace.
1
This beauty's body was great!
After finishing the first auction step, the auction hall entered a short break.
Lin Mo also took advantage of this moment to play a trick with a smile.
He took out the Purple-gold Spatial Ring.
Then, he tore off the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array!
The second half was placed into the Purple-gold Spatial Ring.
"Master, what are you… ?" Miao Qing was stunned.
This was a tier 7 mid-grade array!
It was torn apart by Lin Mo?
If Zi Yue found out about this, she would probably faint from anger!
"What do you know?" Lin Mo grinned. "This is called buy one get one free!"
"When the time comes, just say, that the second half of this formation will not be able to come out from the Purple-gold Spatial Ring!"
"The Purple-gold Spatial Ring still needs blood to recognize its owner… Won't she have to pay more to buy it?"
What a joke.
3,000,000 low-grade spirit stones to buy his tier 7 mid-grade array?
Is there such a good thing in the world?
During the break, Bai Wuxuan did not slack off either. He came to the VIP room upstairs and wanted to see Lin Mo!
"Let him in," Lin Mo said curiously.
The moment he saw Lin Mo, Bai Wuxuan bowed with extreme respect!
Bai Wuxuan was one of the most outstanding juniors of the Bai clan.
Lin Mo was his enemy, right?
Bai Wuxuan went straight to the point. He stood respectfully in front of Lin Mo and said, "Manager Lin, haven't you noticed anything strange in the past two days?"
Lin Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "You might as well be more straightforward."
He saw Bai Wuxuan looking awkwardly at Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen downstairs.
"Ever since the lady boss of the Drunken Immortal Restaurant came, master Bai has disappeared."
"Furthermore, the two women beside this woman came from the Imperial City… You probably don't know this, but we know each other."
"And then?"Ling Mo asked.
He saw Bai Wuxuan make an unreasonable request. "Elder Bai and I hope that Manager Lin can persuade the Lin family to look for Master Bai."
"At least confirm whether Master Bai is alive or dead."
In fact, Bai Wuxuan already had an answer in his heart.
However, if Bai Wuheng was alive, Bai Wuxuan wanted to see the person; if Bai Wuheng was dead, he wanted to see the corpse.
"Manager Lin, you have to help this time. Even if you don't want to help, you have to help!" Bai Wuxuan said in a pleading tone, "If you are willing to help, our Bai clan and the Lin family can form an alliance! We can fight against foreign enemies together!"
However, Lin Mo replied coldly, "Your Bai clan is not a clan that knows how to repay kindness, and so is the Zhao clan."
"The reason why you came to me is because of your own interests. Why are you pretending to care about the overall situation?"
On the auction stage, after a short break, Miao Qing continued the auction of the spatial ring.
Bai Wuxuan was also chased away by Lin Mo, and he sighed as he returned to his seat.
Seeing that no one continued to raise the price, he stopped when he saw that there was no one else. He said softly, "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"
"If not, then this mysterious ring will belong to this mister."
Seeing this, Bai Wuxuan heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that this ring would definitely be profitable.
Following the successful auction of the black ring, a smile appeared on Miao Qing's face.
Just as the black ring was successfully auctioned, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind.
[ Ding, Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning off your spatial ring. ]
[ Due to the host auctioning off a spatial item for the first time… ]
[ You have received a Super Gift Pack from the system. ]
[ The Super Gift Pack has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note of it. ]
"Super Gift Pack?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback.
It seemed like there would be a special reward after auctioning off a spatial item!
With a thought, his consciousness immediately entered the system space.
In the system space, a gigantic ball of light was floating in the air, emitting an incomparably resplendent light.
"This is the Super Gift Bag?"
Lin Mo's eyes revealed an excited expression as he sized up the system's super grand gift bag in front of him.
[ Ding, host, do you wish to open the Super Gift Bag? ]
Just as Lin Mo's consciousness saw the huge ball of light, the system sent out another notification.
"Open!"
Hearing this, Miao Qing's eyes revealed a curious expression.
He really wanted to see just how big this so-called system gift bag was?
[ Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully opening the Super Gift Bag. ]
[ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the blacksmith master's inheritance. ]
[ Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a spiritual power cultivation method, Soul-Devouring Art. ]
[ All items have been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note and check. ]
Following a series of system notifications, Lin Mo was completely dumbfounded.
Master blacksmith's inheritance?
The Soul-Devouring Art?
At this moment, Lin Mo heard the system notification, and his gaze became a little dull.
After carefully checking, he realized.
It turned out that spatial tools in this world had to be forged using spiritual power.
The inheritance of a master blacksmith allowed Lin Mo to have the ability to forge spatial items.
However, he had to design blueprints.
After that, Miao Qing continued to host the auction.
[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the tier 2 Qi boosting powder. ]
[ Congratulations, host, for triggering the 7000-fold rebate. ]
[ Obtained the tier 5 Pill battle king pill. ]
[ Congratulations, you have obtained the spatial item blueprint fragmentx 1]
1
[ Every 10 blueprints fragments can be freely exchanged for one blueprint within the spatial item blueprint. ]
At this moment, the sound of a system notification rang out, causing Lin Mo to finally regain his senses.
However, at this moment, Lin Mo was completely uninterested in any tier 5 medicinal pill.
His eyes were burning as he looked at the additional item within the system space, before a wild joy surfaced on his face.
Lin Mo dared to guarantee that as long as he gathered all the spatial blueprints, he would be able to produce them.
Any one of them would be able to cause a huge storm on the entire continent!
Chapter 156 - Mysterious Spatial Tool!
Chapter 156: Mysterious Spatial Tool!
"Calm down, calm down…"
In his excitement, Lin Mo muttered to himself, forcing himself to calm down.
A moment later, Lin Mo finally calmed down.
He looked at the fragment in front of him, a look of contemplation flashing through his eyes.
Could this fragment be used to trade?
Then maybe he could form a fragment market for spatial tools?
In the end, he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and slowly withdrew his consciousness from the system space.
Now that Zi Yue was at the auction, there might be people from the Imperial City sneaking in to spy on them. There were too many people and too many eyes.
Furthermore, spatial tools were extremely rare and were a must-have item for every cultivator!
If they were to be exposed, they might get into trouble.
Hence, Lin Mo decided to wait until the auction was over before looking for a place with no one around. Only when it was safe would he be able to find out the truth.
[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning a tier 3 medicinal pill, spirit recovery pill. ]
[ Congratulations, host, for triggering a 7,000-fold rebate. ]
[ You obtained a Tier 6 medicinal pill, mystic yellow pill. ]
[ Congratulations, you have obtained a spatial item blueprint x 1]
Just as Lin Mo's consciousness exited the system space, the system notification sounded out in Lin Mo's mind.
It turned out that just as Lin Mo's consciousness entered the system space, Miao Qing had already started the third round of the auction.
Mystic yellow pill?
The effects of the mystic yellow pill flashed through Lin Mo's mind.
The effects of the mystic yellow pill could allow a cultivator to increase their strength by one to two ranks.
If it was before, Lin Mo would still be a little excited to be able to obtain a mystic yellow pill.
However, at this moment, there was not a single ripple in his heart.
"Wu Jin, you've worked hard during this period of time. You can take this mystic yellow pill."
With a thought, a jade bottle appeared in Lin Mo's hand. It contained the mystic yellow pill.
As soon as he finished speaking, Miao Qing threw the jade bottle in his hand to Wu Jin.
1
With Wu Jin's current strength, after consuming the mystic yellow pill, his cultivation level would probably soar!
"What? Mystic yellow pill?"
Wu Jin subconsciously took the jade bottle. When he heard Lin Mo's words, he instantly reacted, and his cold face couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
He had naturally heard of the mystic yellow pill, and he clearly knew its uses.
"Master…"
Wu Jin was grateful and was about to say something.
"Alright, it's just a mere tier 6 pill. There's no need to say anything more." Lin Mo waved his hand and said indifferently.
"Uh…"
Lin Mo's attitude instantly made Wu Jin hold back what he wanted to say.
"Alright, master, you're too generous."
Wu Jin silently put away the mystic yellow pill, his heart filled with excitement.
After taking this profound yellow pill, he would be able to break through.
In a short while, he would be able to take charge of his own affairs!
Regarding breaking through, Wu Jin's heart was filled with confidence.
At this moment, Miao Qing had already started the fourth round of the auction.
"Next, the auction for the fourth item will begin."
As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, a maid slowly walked up to the auction stage with a wooden box in her hand.
Everyone looked at the wooden box in the servant girl's hand with anticipation in their eyes.
The tier 2 medicinal pills and tier 3 medicinal pills from before had almost no attraction to the people present.
Their purpose of coming here was only for cultivation techniques, arrays, and the like.
With this thought in mind, everyone turned their gazes to the auction stage.
Miao Qing smiled slightly and directly walked over to open the wooden box. He smiled and said, "This time's auction level is a tier 6 cultivation technique, Dragon Seal Fist!"
As soon as Miao Qing finished speaking, the crowd immediately became restless.
Dragon Seal Fist?
Finally, something good appeared.
Everyone present looked excitedly at the wooden box in Miao Qing's hand, their eyes burning with excitement.
On the auction stage, looking at the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, Miao Qing's lips curled into a smile.
This auction had just begun?
The main event was about to begin.
Thinking of this, Miao Qing no longer hesitated and said, "Let's begin the auction of the Dragon Seal Fist. The starting price is 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
The moment Miao Qing's voice fell, the entire auction began to boil.
"600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
The first to speak was Qi Yueheng.
At this moment, Qi Yueheng was no longer as steady as before. A hint of excitement appeared on his face.
However, before Qi Yueheng could finish his words, he was quickly surpassed by someone.
"700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"800,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"900,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
Which one of the people present was not an influential figure? It directly caused the price to soar.
Seeing this scene, a trace of seriousness flashed across Qi Yueheng's face.
"Looks like today will be a tough battle."
Then, he took a deep breath and shouted, "1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
In just a few breaths, the price of the Dragon Seal Fist had been raised to 1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
On the auction stage, when Miao Qing saw this crazy scene, he could not help but feel ecstatic.
"Today's auction is destined to be not simple!"
At the auction, the price of the Dragon Seal Fist was still soaring.
1,100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
1,300,000 low-grade spiritual stones!
At this moment, his face was completely red, and he was clearly a little nervous.
2,000,000!
Following Qi Yueheng's bid, there was a slight pause in the auction.
Seeing this, Qi Yueheng's heart was filled with joy, and a trace of a smile could not help but appear on his face.
'Looks like my imposing manner has suppressed the crowd.'
Then, before he could be happy for too long, a series of voices caused the smile on his face to freeze.
"2,100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"2,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
"2,300,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"
…
The shouting did not stop because of Qi Yueheng's bid. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, and the speed of the price soaring also became faster and faster.
"First elder, what should we do?"
On the side, a trace of anxiety appeared on the face of the second elder of the Qi clan, Jin Tao.
Seeing this, Qi Yueheng's face could not help but show a hint of ruthlessness.
The next moment, he directly shouted, "2.5 million low-Jin Tao!"
His Qi clan was definitely going to get this Dragon Fist Seal this time. It was useless no matter who came!
2.5 million!
Following the Qi clan's first elder's shout of 2.5 million, the auction house instantly fell into silence.
To be honest, as an auction item that could be imparted to everyone, the price was not too expensive.
However, the important thing was that someone was bidding.
Previously, Qi Yueheng had not received too many items. Since Bai Wuheng was unlucky, it was naturally time for him to make his move!
If it was in the past, they would definitely not hesitate and would still fight for it with all their might.
It seemed that they had obtained the Dragon Seal Fist.
However, before Qi Yueheng could be happy for too long, his expression suddenly froze.
"3.1 million!"
A voice suddenly sounded.
Qi Yueheng focused his gaze and a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
"Our Huaian City's Duanmu clan wants it!"
The person who called out the price was from the Huaian City's Duanmu clan.
Huaian City was located in the southeast of Lin City and was relatively far away. However, the Duanmu clan's business groups were spread throughout the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire!
Chapter 157 - That's Right, I Treat All of You Like Idiots!
Chapter 157: That's Right, I Treat All of You Like Idiots!
"I'm sorry, Clan leader Qi, but my Duanmu clan also needs this Dragon Seal Fist, so I won't give in." The Duanmu clan member grinned, and a hint of confidence appeared on his face.
In terms of strength, the Duanmu clan naturally could not compare to the Qi clan.
However, if the Qi clan continued to fight with him, their money would be gone, then the good stuff in the future would have nothing to do with the Qi clan.
In addition, after the Bai clan bought the array, their financial resources had bottomed out, so they were no longer a threat.
Therefore, he was somewhat fearless.
"Elder, how much money does our Qi clan still have from the second prince's assistance?" Qi Yueheng asked coldly.
The first elder immediately counted the accounts.
Two months ago, the second prince's business group came once and brought a large amount of aid to the Qi clan.
He also deliberately warned that if anyone dared to shake the Qi clan's position in the four great clans of Lin City…
He would fight against them and send someone to report to him. He would not sit idly by!
Who was the second prince?
He was a rich man who even had tens of millions of spiritual stones!
What was Qi Yueheng afraid of?
However, Qi Yueheng also knew that with the talent of the Qi clan disciples, it was a problem whether they could all learn the Dragon Seal Fist.
"3.2 million low-grade spiritual stones!" Qi Yueheng continued to bid unwillingly.
"3.3 million low-grade spiritual stones!" The Duanmu clan members continued to bid.
"3.4 million low-grade spiritual stones!" Qi Yueheng's face turned gloomy.
He knew that he could no longer follow them.
If he continued to follow them, the Qi clan would not have any financial revenue for a period of time.
"Hehe, 3,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!" After the Duanmu clan made the price, Qi Yueheng finally gave up and fell silent.
Upon seeing this, a smug look appeared on the face of the Duanmu clan member.
With the Dragon Seal Fist in his hand, his purpose of this trip had been achieved.
As for the good stuff that came after that, the Duanmu clan did not care about it at all.
The Duanmu clan had traveled far and wide and had met quite a number of financial backers. It was said that there was a very wealthy martial monk clan in the Great Yan Divine Empire, and perhaps it would be a perfect match for this Dragon Fist Seal!
He was already very satisfied to be able to obtain this dragon fist seal.
"This gentleman bids 3,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who would like to continue bidding?"
In the morning, Miao Qing saw that the auction had quieted down, so he called out.
"Since no one is bidding, then I announce that this Dragon Seal Fist belongs to this gentleman." Miao Qing announced the final result.
The instant Miao Qing finished speaking, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind.
[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning a tier 6 cultivation technique, Dragon Seal Fist. ]
[ Congratulations, host, for triggering a 7,000-fold rebate. ]
[ Obtained a tier 7 low-grade cultivation technique, Mountain Quaking Fist. ]
[ Congratulations, you have obtained a spatial item blueprint x 1]
Lin Mo did not expect that Qi Yueheng actually had a fortune!
If that was the case, the richest Qi Yueheng could only fork out around three million.
Then, the Zhao family should be able to fork out around two million.
If the Bai family still wanted to continue living in Lin City, they would at most be able to fork out around seven hundred thousand.
This was the final savings of the three great families in Lin City.
"I've earned enough money, it's time to spend it…" Lin Mo planned.
If the three great clans really emptied out all their wealth…
It would definitely not be a good thing for Lin City.
The most obvious thing was that the enthusiasm of the cultivators would decrease, and the economy around Lin City would also be affected.
However, Lin City was not the only city in the Yanhuang Divine Empire. Lin Mo had already decided that he would take advantage of the time when the three great clans were lacking in financial resources.
He would purchase large amounts of land and resources.
Then, he would think of a way to separate his business from the Lin family and walk out of Lin City, opening up a bigger world!
When he heard the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo's heart moved slightly.
Mountain Quaking Fist?
Tier 7 cultivation technique?
'It's alright, it barely caught my eye.'
Now, even after hearing the name of the tier 7 cultivation technique, Lin Mo's heart was no longer as excited as before.
After all, he used a sword, and he actually did not have any use for things like fist techniques.
However, he could not expose these rare cultivation techniques too early to avoid disturbing the market price. Otherwise, with the Duanmu clan being so rich, he could sell them all to the Duanmu family.
At this moment, Lin Mo did not even have the thought of entering the system space to check.
His gaze was still fixated on the auction in front of him.
At the auction, after Miao Qing announced the results, the next round of auctions quickly entered.
…
Half an hour later, the entire auction came to an end.
Lin Mo and Miao Qing exchanged glances, indicating for the Mysterious Heaven Array to be auctioned off. However, it was only the first portion…
As for Qi Yueheng's three million savings, he did not spend it. He only used 800,000 to buy some medicinal pills, medicinal baths, and other supporting items.
He felt a little regretful.
After seeing the last item, everyone was very excited!
They saw the Mysterious Heaven Array emitting a mysterious purple light that dazzled everyone.
Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen had been waiting for a long time. They glared at Lin Mo with dissatisfaction.
However, Lin Mo did not care. "There will be a time for you to break the defense later."
"The next item up for auction is a low-grade tier 7 array, the Mysterious Heaven Array's first part !"
"The starting price is three million low-grade spiritual stones!"
There was an uproar at the scene.
The Duanmu family, who was about to leave, also looked at the array in Miao Qing's hand in disbelief.
It was a tier 7 array?
If they had seen a level 7 array in the Imperial City, it would not be particularly strange.
However, this was in Lin City!
The head of the Duanmu family, Duanmu Qian, looked at Lin Mo meaningfully. "This little Lin City actually has such a divine item."
"This manager is indeed not simple."
The servant next to him said, "Elder, do you want to make contact with Manager Lin?"
"Of course!" Duanmu Qian said. He originally wanted to see the auction venue of the Mysterious Heaven Array , but he still came to the lounge ahead of time.
Below the stage, Zi Yue, Qing Wu, and Qing Wen were anxious!
They looked at Lin Mo in disbelief.
"Master, we've been played! This b*stard only sold the first half… and the first half costs three million low-grade spiritual stones!"
"Does he think we're Idiots?"
'That's right, I think you guys are idiots!'
Lin Mo also looked into his eyes without any hesitation.
Then, Wu Jin sent a message. The head of the Duanmu clan's business group, Elder Duanmu Qian, invited Lin Mo to meet him in the lounge.
Lin Mo left without hesitation.
In front of Miao Qing, Zi Yue was more anxious than anyone else. She heard Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming discussing whether they should pay for the upper and lower parts of the array together.
Moreover, there was a high probability that the lower portion would depreciate in value after obtaining the upper portion.
In fact, they could even decipher a small portion of the lower portion from the upper portion.
Then, they would treat it as if they had spent three million to buy a tier 6 high-grade cultivation technique that could continuously increase in value!
It would not be a loss!
Chapter 158 - The Openly Traitorous Duanmu Family!
Chapter 158: The Openly Traitorous Duanmu Family!
However, the more she thought about it, the more anxious Zi Yue became.
Without waiting for Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming to bid, she raised her hand.
"Four million!"
Once she said it, there was no going back on her word.
Zi Yue knew that she had been scammed by Lin Mo…
Coincidentally, she had also prepared to scam Lin Mo previously… Just as Lin Mo had guessed, she only wanted to use three million to buy a complete tier 7 cultivation array.
However, how could there be such a good thing in this world?
…
Without hearing the intense competition in the VIP auction room, Lin Mo was currently in the lounge meeting with the Duanmu clan.
After Duanmu Qian saw Lin Mo, he politely extended his hand while being surrounded by a group of his clansmen. "I've long heard that Manager Lin is a young hero. Seeing you today, you really left a deep impression on me."
No matter who it was, when they saw Lin Mo, they had to be polite.
This was a treatment that even Qi Yueheng and Zhao Gongming did not have… What kind of family was the Duanmu family?
That was a professional business group that operated in several countries! It was somewhat similar to Lin Mo's previous life as a financial capitalist.
However, before Lin Mo could return the courtesy, Duanmu Qian pushed an incomparably beautiful young lady from behind him.
"We need to pay our respects at our first meeting. This is prepared for Manager Lin. In the future, I'll personally take care of Manager Lin. Perhaps, you can help Manager Lin with some paperwork."
Sending a beauty right off the bat?
The young lady's name was Duanmu Jia, but she was only fifteen. In this era, it was possible for her to get married.
However, compared to an ordinary young lady, Duanmu Jia appeared much more mature. She had a scholarly air about her.
"Don't worry, we are definitely not setting up spies. This is a tradition of our Duanmu clan, and we only give it to our most distinguished guests."
"Jiajia has a gentle temperament, and she has excellent clerical and business skills. Moreover, unlike many women in the family, Jiajia is willing to accept her fate, so she will be very loyal."
"Manager Lin, please accept this big gift!"
Just as Duanmu Qian said, Duanmu Jia's looks, temperament, and ability were all above 95 points.
Even compared to Qing Wu and Qing Wen, who were beside Zi Yue, she was not inferior.
Most importantly, Duanmu Jia's figure was excellent. She had obviously learned dance before, and her cultivation level was not high either. She was extremely easy to control.
Just like this, she actually mastered so many skills. She was a living genius!
He did not accept or reject it.
Lin Mo only felt that the Duanmu clan was very impressive. He said bluntly, "Elder, did you see that our Lin auction house really needs talents?"
"Of course." Duanmu Qian did not hide it. "Although the items auctioned by the Lin auction house are all top-notch, they are still lacking in all aspects… That's why we are giving away our beauties."
Lin Mo suddenly remembered.
The Duanmu clan seemed to do everything, including selling men and women to other places.
However, compared to ordinary human traffickers, the Duanmu clan was more extreme. To outsiders, they would not use coercive means. It was more like a type of business like selling their bodies.
To the juniors in the family, they had to force the girls to be gifted to others. The girls had to wholeheartedly assist them, ensuring the prosperity of the family for a thousand years.
"I've also heard of the Duanmu clan's financial management and management capabilities. Compared to Jiajia, those capabilities will bring many surprises to our Lin auction house, right?" Since Duanmu Qian had repeatedly requested, Lin Mo did not refuse.
He also wanted to see what kind of capabilities the Duanmu clan had and what kind of young people they could nurture.
It was good to broaden one's horizons. Otherwise, one would always think that the four great families of Lin City were the most outstanding. The world was very big.
"Hello, master." Upon hearing that Lin Mo wanted her, Duanmu Jia immediately lowered her head shyly and came to Lin Mo's side obediently.
Anyone would like such a woman.
However, from the matter of giving her away, it could be seen that the Duanmu clan seemed to have taken a deviant path. If Lin Mo got involved with them, they might not be of any use.
"Manager Lin is a smart person who can support an auction house. I won't lie to smart people," Duanmu Qian said frankly, "Actually, the Dragon Seal Fist that we just bought was also sold by our Duanmu clan."
"Have you heard of the 'Ancient Martial Arts clan' of the Great Yan Divine Empire?"
Lin Mo nodded.
Unlike Yanhuang Divine Empire, Great Yan Divine Empire had a slightly smaller territory. However, it was close to the natural moat and was easy to defend and hard to attack.
There were twelve provinces and twenty-four counties in total. The capital city of Great Yan Divine Empire was prosperous and open-minded, and there was rarely any forced management.
This was also the reason why all the people in the world liked to come to Great Yan Divine Empire. It was a place with few people, a big place, and relatively loose management. It was more suitable for living.
However, the Duanmu clan was one of the few that did business in foreign countries.
Duanmu Qian smiled and said, "Selling this Dragon Seal Fist to the Ancient Martial Arts clan can be considered as bringing a great improvement to the Ancient Martial Arts clan."
"The Ancient Martial Arts clan has excellent adaptability to fist techniques. It is said that as long as it is a fist technique below tier 8, even a seven-year-old child would be able to learn it. It is also a thousand-year-old aristocratic clan, and is famous for its wealth."
As if he could hear the hidden meaning of the Duanmu clan's words, Lin Mo said straightforwardly, "How much can the Dragon Seal Fist be sold to the Ancient Martial Arts clan?"
"At least seven million." Duanmu Qian did not hide anything.
Damn!
At this moment, Lin Mo was extremely shocked.
All this time, Lin Mo had been wandering around Lin city.
Rich people like Qi Yueheng and Bai Wuheng, as well as those few mercenary group leaders, made Lin Mo feel that he was a nouveau riche.
However, a cultivation technique that Lin Mo had bought for a little over three million yuan could be sold for over seven million yuan in the Great Yan Divine Empire?
The profit had doubled!
"Are you surprised?" Duanmu Qian said proudly, "The Ancient Martial Arts clan seldom cooperates with others. Our Duanmu clan is one of their four suppliers. Over the years, we have supplied quite a number of supplies… It's not an exaggeration to say that half of the Duanmu clan is supported by the Ancient Martial Arts clan."
It was true that cultivation is a matter that consumes a lot of resources.
Most ordinary cultivators focus on longevity. Even if their cultivation base improves, they use it to extend their lifespan or to learn cultivation techniques that can make them younger.
"However, the aristocratic families that are born to fight, consumed a lot of resources. This is why although the second prince is only a prince, his annual income is over ten million spiritual stones.
Otherwise, how could he afford so many vassals? Even these ten million spiritual stones were not enough!
However, the Ancient Martial Arts clan had accumulated wealth over a thousand years, which was why they were wealthy. A thousand-year-old aristocratic family like them was not created overnight.
Perhaps, after several hundred years of accumulation, they could use one or two generations to create some achievements.
Once they were defeated, they would continue to accumulate their strength, and so on and so forth.
However, Lin Mo remembered that a few years ago, the Yanhuang Divine Empire thought that the North Sea was a territorial issue, and they had fought against the Ancient Martial Arts clan of the Great Yan Divine Empire, right?
The Duanmu clan had been doing business with the Ancient Martial Arts clan for a long time. Was that not the same as betraying the country?
Moreover, looking at the fearless look on Duanmu Qian's face, he was openly betraying the country! They were the local forces of Huaian City. Were they not afraid of being liquidated by the Yanhuang Divine Empire?
