Chapter 104: Rewards and Revenge

The leaders of the small factions had no choice but to give up on the bid due to the ridiculous amount of spirit stones.

Even Qi Yueheng, Zhao Gongming, Bai Wuheng, and the elders of the royal auction house who were bidding at this moment felt their hearts skip a beat when faced with such a huge amount of spirit stones!

In the crowd, the man in black was currently looking at the leaders of the various factions who had placed their bids through his cloak…

The person who needed Lin Mo to check with the system to confirm whether he had the qualifications to bid was also seated at the same spot. As he looked at the frenzied crowd around him, one could not help but feel that the emotions of others were completely different!

120,000 spirit stones!

Previously, Zhao Gongming, who had always been unknown and had made a few moves but had failed in the end, once again increased his bid.

No one would have thought that the Zhao clan, which was usually known for being poor, would be able to take out such a large portion of their wealth at this moment.

“Oh, I never thought that Brother Zhao would be so willing to part with it today? Not even passing the day?”

Qi Yueheng looked at Zhao Gongming’s flushed face in astonishment and asked.

This… Every clan had its own difficulties!

“Please show mercy, clan leader Qi and clan leader Bai, and let me have this Eight Directions Forbidden Array.”

Qi Yueheng did not care. His family was best at offensive techniques and never advocated defense.

“Since clan leader Zhao likes it, then I’ll give this array formation to you!” Qi Yueheng waved his hand and said indifferently.

“150,000 spirit stones!”

However, Bai Wuheng exhaled a breath of air and announced a price that was 30,000 higher than Zhao Gongming’s.

“Clan leader Bai! You! Isn’t it just a small matter? Why are you so bothered?”

“Hmph! It’s just a small matter that clan leader Zhao shouldn’t be bothered by it!” Bai Wuheng said to Zhao Gongming in a weird tone.

However, what Bai Wuheng was thinking in his heart was different.

The defensive power of this sixth-level cultivation formation was shocking, and it was most suitable for large clans. However, that was only if their own powers were still present!

He did not believe that a mere Zhao clan could compete with his Bai clan in terms of foundation and wealth.

However, he was also prepared to let his son, Bai Yanlang go back and prepare some more spirit stones. If there were others who continued to make things difficult for him, then he did not mind fighting them to the end.

Even Zhao Gongming sighed helplessly and sat back down dejectedly.

In the end, Bai Wuheng used a price of 150,000 spirit stones to obtain the formation.

…

[ Congratulations to the host for successfully auctioning the sixth-level cultivation formation, Eight Directions Forbidden Array! ]

[ You have received a 1000-fold rebate! ]

[ You have obtained the eighth-level cultivation formation, Ten Directions Forbidden Array! ]

“The auction of the Lin auction house has officially ended! Everyone is welcome to come again. The next auction will be held three days later!”

As Miao Qing had not received much training from a proper auctioneer, he left the stage after giving a brief introduction of everything.

At this moment, all the witnesses in the auction venue, who had more inside information quickly spread the news with what they knew.

In one auction, the appearances of fifth and sixth-level subdued beasts, herbs, and long-lost sword techniques had always been rare, especially in Lin City!

This auction continued Lin Mo’s tradition of starting the auction at a low price. However, the final transaction volume had increased by 50%!

…

“Thank you! Thank you all so much!” in the appraisal room, an adventurer dressed in tattered clothes held Lin Mo’s hands and said.

“You can rest assured that our Lin auction house never bullies the market. Anyone who tries to mess around here will not have a good ending!”

“This is the technique you obtained from the auction, Autumn Frost Sword Technique!” Lin Mo took out a box made of yellow pear wood.

“Please forgive me. I don’t have many primeval stones on me!” The instant he saw the sword technique, the adventurer stood up and was about to kneel on the ground. Lin Mo immediately stretched out his hand and qi surged out. Immediately, his half-bowed knees stopped in mid-air.

“This…” The adventurer looked at Lin Mo in shock. This person’s qi was so dense!

“It’s alright, I know what you mean. It should be a pretty good item that is worthy of your attention. Take it out and have a look!”

Lin Mo smiled as he looked over without any surprise. Suddenly, the adventurer’s eyes turned red.

Looking at the warm smile that was right in front of him, the adventurer suddenly fell silent. Without saying a word, he opened the bag on his back without the slightest bit of reluctance. Within two seconds, he took out three items and placed them on the ground!

“Sixth-level spiritual artifact, Azure Cloud Dagger!”

“Sixth-level ore, Azure Gold Treasure Mine!”

“Mysterious Land Treasure Map!”

“These are the three most valuable items I have on me. You’ve won my admiration. Now, I’ll give them all to you!” the adventurer named Yan Rong said.

The items were appraised by the system. Not only were they enough to make up for Yan Rong’s lack of 200,000 spirit stones, but there was also quite a bit of surplus!

“You gave me the most valuable treasure on you just for a sword technique?”

Lin Mo suddenly became a little curious about his background.

“This… I don’t dare to hide it from you!” Yan Rong did not struggle for long. He gritted his teeth and told Lin Mo the truth.

It turned out that he was the first disciple of the Qing Huai Holy Land, one of the nine great holy lands of the eastern continent.

That was the case three years ago until a group of people suddenly attacked the sect. Even his master, Sect Master Qing Shi of the Holy Land could not do anything against them. Those people all had unknown origins and were very powerful. They said that they were looking for something.

A battle broke out and not long after that, he was labeled as a traitor of the sect and placed on the sect’s must-kill list! After that, the sect announced to the public that his master had colluded with the demonic sect and wanted to cultivate the blood devil technique! Yan Rong did not believe it!

However, to investigate the truth of that incident and to prove his master’s innocence, Yan Rong had long risked his life and began to wander the world.

“The reason why I bid for this Autumn Frost Sword Technique is to test one of my ideas. If I succeed, my strength will greatly increase, and I can secretly return to the sect to find out the truth!”

“So, that’s how it is…”

According to what Lin Mo knew, there were four great empires on the eastern continent. The one he was in was called the Yanhuang Divine Empire, and the other three were called the Great Yan Divine Empire, the Great Ancient Divine Empire, and the Lujin Divine Empire.

As for the nine sacred lands, he had never heard of them.
