Chapter 219: Yuan Cang
There were quite a number of treasures that these fellow cultivators also planned to sell. After all, they were all items that they themselves could not utilize, and as such, it would be a waste to keep them for themselves.
This was not the first time where they encountered an upstart who tried to hold an auction there. However, things always ended up poorly for those folks.
“If you want to hold an auction, go ahead, but first, let me introduce you to my fist.”
A man stepped forward and said with a cold smile.
Lin Mo did not hide his aura. He was at tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Being able to reach this stage at this age could be considered genius.
Unfortunately, in the grand scheme of things, such a tier was still considered rather weak. As such, most of them had perceived Lin Mo as nothing more than prey.
The fact that a person of his caliber was carrying this much treasure was only icing on the cake.
“You might have to pay a price if you attack me…” Lin Mo warned.
“Arrogant…”
That man laughed coldly before he launched his attack.
However, before anyone could notice, a figure had already appeared in front of Lin Mo, carrying a tier 9 longsword, Plain White Snow.
“A puppet?”
The assailant was shocked. He used all his strength and struck out with his palm. A powerful force erupted as he struck towards Lin Mo.
“Sigh, it seems that disputes follow me wherever I go…”
Lin Mo smiled helplessly. The puppet swiftly brought down Plain White Snow, and with that the sharp blade has cut down the assailant with ease.
“Sppppt!”
Blood spurted out, and shock ensued in the center of the stronghold.
What level of power was this? It was too terrifying.
“Now, does anyone else wish to object?” Lin Mo smiled and looked at the crowd below.
Everyone was silent. They dared not say another word.
The strength of the man who attacked just now was at tier 18 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. He was by no means weak.
Despite this, he was no threat to the puppet, and he was unable to put up any fight as he was mercilessly cut down by said puppet.
“Hehe, no wonder you were acting so arrogantly. So it turns out that you possess such a powerful puppet…”
At this moment, a light chuckle came from afar. Following this, dozens of individuals walked over.
There were three people in the lead. Lin Mo frowned upon spotting them.
“I take that you all are from the Primordial Sun and Profound Azure Holy Lands? You Must Be Yuan Cang, the Saint of the Yuan Yang Holy Land, right?” Lin Mo asked.
“Hand over the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow and the Golden Bug King, and I can let bygones be bygones,” Yuan Cang smiled and said indifferently.
Yuan Cang’s words killed the spirit of bidding that was starting to well up within the audience. Although they really wanted the Giant Spirit Bear’s inner core, it was clear that this youth had offended people from the Primordial Sun Holy Land.
“Do you have the qualifications to say such words to me?” Lin Mo asked.
Yuan Cang was very strong. He was at tier 17 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, and his body emanated a powerful aura.
However, just this power alone was not enough to make him, Lin Mo, cower.
“I know that the few of us here aren’t a match for this puppet, but similarly, your puppet alone won’t be enough for you to run amok in the ruins…”
Yuan Cang’s eyes gradually turned cold as he stared at Lin Mo like a venomous snake, ready to strike at any moment.
“Then let’s wait for the people you can call over to speak. I plan to auction off that Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. If you’re interested, you can start bidding.” Lin Mo smiled and called for everyone to start bidding.
“Hmph, you don’t even know how to appreciate favors.”
Yuan Hong snorted coldly and wanted to say something. However, when he saw the round collar that was next to Lin Mo, he shut his mouth.
“What are you panicking for? There are so many treasures in this ruins. No one can say for sure what kind of opportunity we’ll get in the next second.” Yuan Cang continued calmly.
His state of mind was extremely good. He actually participated in the bidding for the Giant Spirit Bear’s inner core.
On the other hand, Lin Mo was rather indifferent to the whole situation. Once Yuan Cang made a bid of 12 million for the Giant Spirit Bear’s inner core, no one else dared to participate.
“12 million, sold! Payment first, then you’ll get the goods.” Lin Mo stated, indicating to Yuan Cang to pay up first.
“Hehe, I am the Saint of the Primordial Sun Holy Land. How could I go back on my words.”
Yuan Cang threw a cloth bag over and Lin Mo picked it up. After calculating its contents, he smiled and responded, “It seems that I’ve wrongly doubted you.”
[ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 7 top-grade Giant Spirit Bear’s inner core ]
[ Triggered 1,000 times auction rebate ]
[ Obtained tier 8 low-grade Golden-scaled Bear’s inner core ]
“This second item is a tier 8 middle-grade Blood Sun Ginseng, which can greatly replenish Qi and blood circulation.”
“In a battle, should one be injured, consuming it would heal one’s injuries in a short period of time.”
“Starting bid, 3 million low-grade spiritual stones.”
Lin Mo took out a blood-colored ginseng. Such a herb would undoubtedly fetch a higher price than the market rate in the ancient ruins.
After all, this was a place was filled with various dangers.
However, Lin Mo only wanted to complete the auction as soon as possible. After which, he would bring along the spiritual stones and the rebate treasures to enter secluded cultivation.
The enemies he met along the way were too powerful.
As for his cultivation, he was still stuck at tier 12 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was difficult for him to break through.
He had been relying on his puppet all this while, and it was only a short term solution in the end. He needed to go into seclusion as soon as possible.
[ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the tier 8 middle-grade spirit herb, Blood Sun Ginseng ]
[ Triggered 7,000 times auction rebate ]
[ Obtained tier 9 middle-grade spirit herb, Spirit Gathering Root ]
“It’s actually a Spirit Gathering Root…”
Lin Mo was overjoyed. After auctioning off the Blood Sun Ginseng, Lin Mo had initially thought that it was just an ordinary treasure that would return a meagre rebate reward.
Who would have thought that this time, it actually triggered a rebate of 7,000 times and give him a Spirit Gathering Root!?
Spirit Gathering Roots contained the purest Heaven and Earth spiritual energy. Even if an ordinary person were to consume it, they would still be able to directly break through to the first tier of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
On the other hand, if a cultivator were to consume it, they would also be able to greatly increase their strength.
“It’s said that some Nirvana Realm powerhouses also rely on this item. It’s truly a rare treasure…”
Lin Mo was very excited. After obtaining yet another supreme treasure, his cultivation speed would definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
“The next item to be auctioned is a weapon. It’s a high-grade tier 8 Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow. The price is extraordinary. Everyone, make sure not to miss it.”
The appearance of this bow shocked everyone. In the next moment, their gazes turned towards Yuan Hong.
Everyone knew that there were two great geniuses in the Primordial Sun Holy Land who could compete for the position of Saint.
The older brother, Yuan Cang, had astonishing talent and extraordinary battle prowess. He defeated his younger brother, Yuan Hong, in a battle and ascended to the position of Saint.
As for his younger brother, Yuan Hong, although he was defeated, his battle prowess was equally astonishing. His archery skills were superb, making it difficult for others to go against him.
In the end, in order to console Yuan Hong, who had lost in the battle for the position of Saint, his father spent a great deal of effort to order someone to forge the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow.
However, no one had expected that the very same bow would now end up in an auction, in Lin Mo’s hands…
“…”
Everyone looked at Yuan Hong and Yuan Cang, not daring to speak.
“The starting bid is 30 million. Does anyone intend to bid?” Judging by everyone’s expressions, Lin Mo set the starting bid to 30 million.
Yuan Cang’s face was ashen as he stared at Lin Mo.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh of relief and rather than meeting Lin Mo’s bid at 30 million, he started the bid for the Blazing Flame Spirit Snake Bow at 20 million instead,
No one else dared to bid higher than Yuan Cang. After all, to do so in such a situation would be akin to courting death.
“He actually endured it…”
Lin Mo frowned. He did not expect Yuan Cang to have such a strong forbearance. He had already openly extorted him, yet this fellow was still able to endure it…
“I was still thinking of letting you make the first move…”
Helpless, Lin Mo and Yuan Cang completed the transaction. Everything went according to plan.
However, while all of this was going on, killing intent was starting to manifest…
