Chapter 409: Chapter 409 - Taking advantage of a burnin

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although something had happened to Yue Xuan, many of the major powers in the imperial city had been attacked.

Some people had already guessed who it was, but there was nothing they could do.

Their family’s treasury had been emptied, causing them to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, while they sympathized with Yue Xuan, they were also secretly sad.

“Right, there will be a slight change in the rules of tonight’s auction. There will be no time limit for each treasure to be auctioned. Only when someone successfully bids will the next one begin.”

On the stage, Lin Mo added. What he lacked the most right now was spirit stones.

He planned to raise the starting bid. Furthermore, under such circumstances, while most people were dissatisfied, they also sympathized with him.

Yue Xuan and Purple Moon Palace had been destroyed, and all kinds of formations had been destroyed. The reconstruction required so many spirit stones, so he could only try his best.

“Field owner Lin, quickly start the auction. We also need some treasures to fill our clans…”

Sighs could be heard from some of the private rooms. It was the various clans in the imperial city.

“Alright, I won’t say any more nonsense. Now, the auction begins. The first auction item, divine firefly inner core, spirit 4-grade.”

Lin Mo took out a silver box, and after opening it, a dense fire attribute energy spread out.

“According to the seller, this is a treasure from the first selection. The Divine Flame bug was born from absorbing innate spiritual energy, and its inner core is of high quality.”

“It’s not only suitable for fire attribute experts. Other than ice and water attributes, any cultivator can use it to temper their bodies.”

After some introductions, Lin Mo noticed that many people below were interested. He chuckled and said, “The starting price is 800,000 mid-grade spirit stones. Each increment must not be lower than 50,000.”

Such a starting price was already a little too high. For a spirit rank 4 treasure, 800,000 was usually the selling price for a spirit rank 5 treasure.

The inner core’s value would be a little higher, but the selling price would not exceed 1,000,000 mid-grade spirit stones.

Such a high starting price stunned everyone in the hall.

“Field owner Lin, you’re not joking, right? Isn’t the starting price too high?”

Someone asked. They could take out eight hundred thousand, but even if they had money, they couldn’t spend it like this.

“That’s right. The Divine Flame Bug’s inner core is worth this price. Normally, the bidding price would also be raised to this price,”Lin Mo said indifferently.

At this moment, in some of the private rooms, the elders and family heads of the various families were already frowning.

Their treasury had been ransacked and they didn’t have much money to begin with. Now, they wanted to buy some treasures to stop the losses.

However, they didn’t expect the treasures that Lin Mo was selling to be so expensive. Furthermore, he had previously said that he wouldn’t allow any of the items to be auctioned off.

This meant that they had to auction off the Divine Flame Bug’s inner core. Otherwise, they would have to leave…

“Field owner Lin, everyone is very sad. We’ve met with a calamity recently, and you’re taking advantage of the situation to rob us.”In front of them, the door to a private room was kicked open.

An old man walked out angrily and looked coldly at Lin Mo. .

“Family head Zhao is right. The Yue Xuan auction isn’t something you can decide. We definitely won’t allow you to tarnish Yue Xuan’s reputation like this.”

Another person walked out. It was a middle-aged man. He stood beside the old man and criticized Lin Mo. .

“It’s a pity that I’m in charge of Yue Xuan now. As for the so-called taking advantage of a burning house, if you want to buy the treasure at the bottom price, aren’t you taking advantage of a burning house?”

Lin Mo smiled faintly and stared at the two of them.

His gaze was filled with coldness. Just looking at them like this made the two of them feel as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

“Hehe, brother Lin, why are you so angry? Yue Xuan and Purple Moon Palace have met with unforeseen circumstances, and I’m very sympathetic. How about this, I’ll bid one million for this divine firebug inner core. Does anyone want to bid?”

Right at this moment, a soft laugh sounded out. It was from the private room at the very front.

It was the Crown Prince’s voice. This person had come to Yue Xuan early in the morning and had even sent over a few auction items.

“It’s good that your Highness understands.”As the saying went, one should never hit a smiling person. Naturally, Lin Mo would not reject the crown prince’s good intentions.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince has bid one million middle-grade spirit stones. Is there anyone else who has higher bids?”Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer.

“One million going once.”

“One million going twice.”

“One million going thrice. sold. Congratulations, Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

Lin Mo dropped the hammer and tossed the silver box to the Crown Prince’s private room. His intention was clear — to trade on the spot.

“That’s true. It’s good to be cautious.”

The crown prince wasn’t angry. He tossed out a cloth bag from the window of the private room, which contained 1,000,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

“Thank You, Your Highness.”Lin Mo smiled and nodded.

[ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the Spirit Rank 4 divine Firebug inner pellet ]

[ successfully triggered 1,000 times the auction return ]

[ obtained Spirit Rank 5 divine Firebug inner core ]

The return return was still given to the Divine Firebug inner core, but the energy contained within this inner core was even richer.

“Keep the fire attribute for Xiao Die.”

After saying this in a low voice, Lin Mo continued the auction. With the Crown Prince’s opening, more and more people started to participate in the auction.

“The next item to be auctioned is a spirit rank 5 blue lotus. There are a total of 17 of them. The starting price for each of them is 1,000,000.”

Lin Mo didn’t mind the trouble and took out all of the blue lotuses that he had picked in the danger zone.

A total of 17 of them had filled the entire auction hall with spiritual energy the moment they appeared. In fact, there were already people below who were itching to make a move.

Seeing this, Lin Mo’s gaze turned cold as he let out a soft snort.

An invisible sword Qi was surging in the dark. Everyone present could clearly feel it.

Such a powerful sword Qi was something that even a nirvana stage cultivator wouldn’t dare to claim to possess.

Everyone was shocked. This Lin Mo’s talent was truly terrifying. To be able to train his sword Qi to such an extent.

“I bid one million.”

Someone placed a bid, but it was only the starting price. After all, a fifth level spirit rank spiritual medicine was already close to one million.

“1,050,000.”

In another private room, someone was bidding, raising the bid by 50,000.

“1,100,000.”

Another person raised the bid by a very small margin, raising the bid by 50,500,000, because the price was already very high.

“1,100,000 going once, is there anyone else bidding?”

Lin Mo waited for a while, seeing that no one was bidding, he once again dropped the hammer.

“1,100,000 going twice.”

“1,100,000 going thrice. sold. Congratulations to the guest in private room No. 20 for winning this Blue Lotus.”

Lin Mo smiled and threw the blue lotus. He was not worried that someone would stop him.

There were Nirvana realm experts participating in the auction, but they were still not a match for the original soul puppet.

If they really dared to behave atrociously here, he did not mind losing the other party’s life.

[ congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a spirit rank rank 5 blue lotus ]

[ you have successfully triggered 900 times the profit from the auction ]

[ you have obtained a spirit rank 6 Blue Moon Lotus ]

The Blue Moon Lotus was also considered a type of blue lotus, but it was an advanced version. It contained pure spiritual energy and didn’t have any requirements on its attributes.

Lin Mo nodded his head in satisfaction. As long as the blue lotus behind him was able to earn back the profit from the Blue Moon Lotus, then he wouldn’t be at a loss.

“Alright, the next blue lotus auction begins. The starting price is still one million.”

Lin Mo knocked on the auction hammer. The auction began. Someone in the hall gritted his teeth and joined the bidding.
