Chapter 159 - You Are Already the Richest Man in Lin City!

Chapter 159: You Are Already the Richest Man in Lin City!

When Duanmu Qian saw that Lin Mo's expression was a little off, he smiled and said, "The world is bustling for profit and all of us are the same. We don't care about who we belong to anymore. We don't care about where we belong anymore."

'Damn it, he's making the fact that he's betraying the kingdom so poetic?'

Why did Lin Mo feel that the Duanmu clan was so shameless?

"Elder, you are worrying too much," Lin Mo said bluntly, "If you want me to have a close relationship with Great Yan Divine Empire, then forget it."

"It's fine to just go there to develop."

Lin Mo expressed a different stance from the Duanmu clan, but Duanmu Qian was not in a hurry. Instead, he analyzed, "The Yanhuang Divine Empire is not that bad. It's just that the imperial court is in chaos. With the second prince as the ally, the war is going on endlessly."

"The small Lin City already has three forces: the second, fourth, and eighth princes. If it weren't for the strength of our Duanmu clan, we would have long settled in Lin City."

"When my ancestor left the Yanhuang Divine Empire, he was forced to do so. As the saying goes, harmony breeds wealth, but the Yanhuang Divine Empire can always drag people in!"

That was true.

Duanmu Qian was clear-headed and did not try to hide anything. He was also very resourceful. He immediately gave Lin Mo a genius-level beauty to play with.

It had to be said that compared to this elder, the three clan leaders of Lin City were nothing.

Moreover, Duanmu Qian was not old. Although his cultivation level was not high, it was enough to tell that the Duanmu clan represented the winners of this era.

Lin Mo could not help but stroke his chin and think.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Duanmu Qian said bluntly, "Manager Lin, if you want to cooperate with our Duanmu clan in the future, just ask Jiajia to contact us."

"Moreover, if you have other fist techniques, you can sell them all to the Duanmu clan. The Duanmu clan can afford them."

"Otherwise, two months later, the Ancient Martial Arts clan will hold a treasure meeting in Lingyun Peak of Cangzhou. Manager Lin can bring your treasures to bid for them."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up when he did not expect Duanmu Qian to give him such important information.

"Thank you, elder. If you don't mind, I'll be the one to entertain you today."

"Haha, we're leaving!" Duanmu Qian said with a fake smile, "Is there… an undercurrent in Lin City?"

Good heavens!

Lin Mo was quite surprised.

Duanmu Qian's words were not a hint, but a clear indication that he knew what had happened in Lin City.

The Duanmu clan's intelligence system was very advanced!

One had to know that even the other three clan leaders were kept in the dark. Even Lin Mo himself did not tell anyone around him.

Duanmu Qian was actually able to say something so profound.

"Impressive." Lin Mo nodded.

After seeing the world, the system rang in Lin Mo's mind.

[ Congratulations on auctioning the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array. ]

[ You have received 7,000 times the profit. ]

[ Congratulations on obtaining a low-grade tier 7 array: Eye of Truth. ]

[ Eye of Truth: an array made of 999 dragon eyes. Once set up, it can monitor the surrounding enemies. it can also use the clairvoyance and heavenly eye to gain the vision of a dragon. ]

It was actually a surveillance-type array formation?

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

He thought that if he could sell this array to Zi Yue, it should be able to fetch a pretty good price.

However, with this bargaining chip, why should he not sell it to the second prince? Instead, he wanted to sell it to the eighth prince, who had to pay a deposit for everything she bought?

Just because she was a beauty?

Lin Mo despised those who were stingy.

…

After the auction ended, the descendants of the various large families discussed the contents of today's auction.

There were even quite a number of people who were envious of Zi Yue. She was actually able to bid four million for the first half of the Mysterious Heaven Array?

She was indeed worthy of being a lady from a holy land!

However, Lin Mo knew that Zi Yue had nothing to do with the Purple Cloud Holy Land.

When he returned to the VIP auction room, he saw Zi Yue staring at him with a cold expression.

Qing Wu also had a murderous look on her face. She gritted her teeth as she stared at Lin Mo, seemingly regretting not killing him earlier!

"I'm afraid there will be trouble tonight…" Lin Mo brought Duanmu Jia along.

Looking at this young lady from a small family, Wu Jin was a little confused. "Master, this is…"

"Oh, this is your new colleague, a gift from the Duanmu clan. It's said that her abilities are outstanding," Lin Mo said as he patted Wu Jin's shoulder. "You should also head in the direction of the person-in-charge."

"Look at the imposing manner of the Duanmu clan's elder. An outsider like him can suppress Qi Yueheng to the point that he can't even fart."

Soon, Miao Qing arrived in front of Lin Mo with a pleased expression.

This time, he had really done well. Other than the last item, all the other items were organized by him!

Moreover, the results were quite good.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Jiajia."After taking care of her, Miao Qing waited for Lin Mo to give the order.

At this moment, Zi Yue walked over with a chilly aura. Her aura was so strong that Wu Jin and Miao Qing could not help but feel nervous.

They only knew that this lady seemed to have been alone with Lin Mo for a while, but they still did not understand the relationship between the two of them.

"Manager Lin, when can you give me the second half of the Mysterious Heaven Array?" Zi Yue was obviously suppressing her anger.

Lin Mo observed for a while and confirmed that there was not the mysterious person he saw last night. Then, he said coldly, "When you pay the final payment, the second half will naturally be handed over to you."

"However, there's a problem. The second half is placed in a spatial ring. It's the advanced version of the spatial ring that Bai Wuxuan bought earlier."

"The spatial ring can only be used after it has been recognized as its owner by dripping blood. Therefore, if you want it, you will have to spend another 800,000 spiritual stones to buy this spatial ring… However, with your wealth, it shouldn't be much, right?"

"Damn it!" Qing Wu instantly flew into a rage, but she was pressed down by Zi Yue.

After a moment of silence, the corner of Zi Yue's mouth twitched. She stared straight into Lin Mo's eyes and said, "I didn't expect Manager Lin to be so scheming that he even thought of a plan."

"Forget it. If I pay another 3.8 million, can manager Lin bear to part with it?"

"Of course I'm willing." Lin Mo said as he did some mental calculations. Adding on the 4 million that Zi Yue just gave him, it was a total of 7.8 million low-grade spiritual stones. He would give Zi Yue a low-grade tier 7 array and a Purple-gold Spatial Ring.

No, this was too cheap.

It was fine it was only the array, but he was willing to give a ring for free?

How could this be called an auction?

Lin Mo thought to himself that when Zi Yue's money was in his hands, he would have to take another 1.2 million from her to raise nine million.

Lin Mo did not dare to say anything else, but he knew that Zi Yue definitely had the strength to do so. He just had to pay a small price.

Furthermore, the Mysterious Heaven Array was priceless. It was not worth it to exchange for low-grade spiritual stones.

Since Lin Mo was willing to sell it to Zi Yue, Zi Yue should be kowtowing and thanking him! What right did she have to glare at him?

Lin Mo felt that he had suffered a loss. Zi Yue felt that she had been toyed around by Lin Mo, and she felt extremely resentful.

Miao Qing, who was standing at the side, heard the conversation between the two of them and calculated in shock.

There were millions of spiritual stones…

Amazing!

His young master was now an ultimate nouveau riche!He was undoubtedly the number one nouveau riche!

Chapter 160 - What Is a Professional Team?

Chapter 160: What Is a Professional Team?

At this moment, one could see Duanmu Jia's role.

With a wave of Lin Mo's hand, Miao Qing passed the information to Duanmu Jia.

Duanmu Jia instantly noticed the problem. "The auction house's operations are pretty good, but the items are a little monotonous. Compared to our business group, this is the only disadvantage."

"Once this problem is solved, the future of the Lin auction house will be bright."

"Monotonous auction items?" Miao Qing was a little unconvinced, but Lin Mo let Duanmu Jia continue.

"But the problem is also very easy to solve," Duanmu Jia said solemnly. "Master, you can use spiritual stones to exchange for some auction items in our business group. You should try to provide for every cultivator nearby."

"This is the so-called demand."

She was even talking about the demand. It seemed that Duanmu Jia knew the market quite well!

"Doesn't that benefit your Duanmu clan?"Miao Qing questioned.

Miao Qing was a little uncomfortable with this new colleague, Duanmu Jia.

However, throughout the whole process, Duanmu Jia was respectful and showed no signs of anger, which made Lin Mo even more satisfied.

"Let's do as you say. Let me see your ability," Lin Mo said generously.

"Thank you, master." Duanmu Jia was still neither arrogant nor humble. She did not show the slightest bit of pride, nor did he show any signs of being overly humble.

Under Duanmu Jia's request, Lin Mo used one million low-grade spiritual stones to exchange for quite a number of items from the Duanmu clan's business group.

It covered all the fields that the cultivators needed.

Moreover, Duanmu Jia could see the future of the Purple-gold Spatial Ring with a single glance!

They talked about how if they could mass-produce this spatial ring and spread it to the market, the entire world of cultivators would be turned upside down!

Lin Mo, on the other hand, told Duanmu Jia not to be anxious.

He had not even collected all the space fragments yet, so he had no way to start producing them.

…

In the afternoon, the second auction hosted by Duanmu Jia officially began.

This was a test for Duanmu Jia by Lin Mo. he also wanted to see how attractive the market theory of the Duanmu clanwas in this era.

Under Duanmu Jia's suggestion, she spent a large sum of money to invite a professional team that she knew from the Duanmu clan.

One of them was a woman named Duanmu Fei. She was also a beauty in her prime, but she was more mature. When she arrived at the venue, many people's eyes lit up.

Her professional ability was market research. As long as she finished the auction, she would be able to gather some special intelligence and data.

She would help the auction house to do better and better.

The other was Duanmu Jia's master, Master Otto. It was said that he was very famous in Great Yan Divine Empire.

The entrance fee was even more expensive, It was 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones per auction!

He claimed that under his appraisal, there would not be any low-quality items appearing in the auction!

When everyone had arrived, Duanmu Jia met up with Duanmu Fei and Master Otto.

Lin Mo was also silently observing. Since there was a chance to professionalize the Lin auction house, what he needed was more talent!

Money? He was not in need of that. Not to mention 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones for an auction, so what if it was 1 million?

It was fine as long as they had the ability!

However, compared to Duanmu Jia, this woman called Duanmu Fei lacked a bit of this ethereal aura.

Her short, gentle hair accentuated Duanmu Jia's aura, causing some of the women to feel jealous.

Duanmu Jia walked straight toward Duanmu Fei.

After passing by Zi Yue and the other two who were waiting for the auction to begin, Qing Wu sniffed the faint fragrance left behind by the place where she passed by. She smiled and praised in her heart, "She has a unique fragrance and a graceful bearing. She is indeed a stunner."

However, how did such a stunner benefit Lin Mo? This made Qing Wu sigh.

"Teacher!"

When she came in front of Duanmu Fei, a faint smile appeared on Duanmu Jia's exquisite face. In that instant, a smile appeared.

It was like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, causing one to feel a sense of amazement.

"Hehe, you are finally here. I heard that you are following the Lin auction house. I can't wait any longer."

Duanmu Fei's gaze was filled with gentleness as she stared at the proud student in front of her. She smiled in gratification.

"Master!"

Duanmu Jia tilted her head slightly and bowed slightly to Master Otto, who was rolling his eyes at the side.

One was her teacher, and the other was her master. Furthermore, from market research to appraisal, everything was complete!

In addition to Duanmu Jia's administrative ability and Miao Qing's auction experience, Wu Jin was in charge of communication as a secretary.

Moreover, Lin Wan would rope in the juniors of the various large families and build up a network of connections.

A strong team would be enough!

"Little girl, you're still so polite. Don't worry, I'll use all my effort to help you appraise this time. Once you're here, let's get started."

After nodding with a smile, Ao Lei turned around and bowed to Lin Mo. He was extremely respectful.

However, Miao Qing was a little doubtful. Was this Ao Lei really that professional?

It was 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones to appraise an auction. This price was not low at all…

In the private room, there were many rare fruits and delicacies, as well as fine wine and tea. The treatment was extremely good.

From the private room, one could see the entire situation of the Lin auction house below.

At this moment, the auction hall was already filled with people, and it was extremely noisy.

After waiting for about an hour, the venue was finally full of people.

As Duanmu Jia stepped onto the auction stage, the auction officially began.

Duanmu Jia had studied under the Duanmu clan's business group for many years and was experienced.

After she went on stage and gave a few opening remarks, Duanmu Jia began to auction the first item.

"Now, let's begin the auction of the first item of this auction."

As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly walked onto the auction stage.

Duanmu Jia walked over and opened the purple brocade box.

In an instant, a dazzling purple light bloomed on the auction stage, looking magnificent.

"Everyone, this first item is…"

"Purple Spirit Crystal!"

At the auction, Duanmu Jia's heavy voice slowly sounded.

Purple Spirit Crystal?

After hearing Duanmu Jia's words, everyone was slightly stunned. Many people with extraordinary experiences immediately reacted.

Therefore, the auction began to fall into a clamor. Many people began to whisper and discuss non-stop.

"Wow, what a beautiful crystal!"

In the VIP room where Zi Yue and the rest were seated, Qing Wen's eyes were wide open as she looked at the Purple Spirit Crystal that was emitting a brilliant glow on the auction stage. Her beautiful eyes were filled with a strange glow.

"I didn't expect the first item to be a treasure like the Purple Spirit Crystal."

"Looks like the quality of this auction is even higher than I expected."

Zi Yue also nodded her head.

Looking at her demeanor, this Duanmu Jia was much more professional than Miao Qing. Even Zi Yue was a little shocked. How did Lin Mo manage to recruit this person?

Looking at the purple glow on the auction stage, Qing Wu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"Qing Wen, what kind of treasure is this Purple Spirit Crystal? What's its use?"

Chapter 161: The Royal Black Market?

Before Qing Wen could speak, Zi Yue, who was sitting at the side, spoke first.

"Purple Spirit Crystals are produced by large-scale fierce beasts. Every tier 6 fierce beast can only produce one piece every 100 years."

As Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment, but suddenly, a fierce bidding noise erupted.

"Now, let's begin the auction of the Purple Spirit Crystal. The starting price is 30,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"40,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"50,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"60,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"70,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"80,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"…"

In just a short moment, the price of the Purple Spirit Crystal had already reached the price of 100,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

Moreover, the price was still rising.

"110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"120,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

…

"150,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

Right at this moment, a clear and crisp voice rang out from Lin Mo's private room.

Lin Mo turned his gaze over.

The person who called out the price was none other than Qing Wu.

"Hehe, this Purple Spirit Crystal is too beautiful, I really can't help but to make my move."

Facing Zi Yue and the others' gazes, Qing Wu's pretty face lifted up into a smile. The cold and aloof goddess smiled like this, appearing a little mischievous and cute.

"Qing Wu, it's good for you to take this Purple Spirit Crystal."

Zi Yue chuckled and said, "If this thing is refined into a medicinal pill, it'll be of great help to your breakthrough."

With Qing Wu's bid of 150,000, the auction of the Purple Spirit Crystal also came to an end.

"This young lady bids 150,000 low-grade spiritual stones. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia stepped forward and asked.

"If no one raises the price, then this Purple Spirit Crystal will belong to this young lady." Duanmu Jia slowly announced the final result.

Hearing Duanmu Jia's announcement, Qing Wu was also a little excited. She looked at the Purple Spirit Crystal with a burning gaze.

[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Purple Spirit Crystal. ]

[ You have received 7,000 times the profit. ]

[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Gilded Purple Caltrop Crystal. ]

[ Gilded Purple Caltrop Crystal: one of the luxury items specially provided by the royal family. With just a thought, it can glow and bewitch people. It can also be made into weapons and jewelry. It is impervious to all poisons and can ward off ferocious beasts. ]

"It's actually a royal tribute?" Lin Mo was slightly surprised.

Up until now, he had yet to come into contact with a royal tribute.

If such an item was auctioned, it would not be easy to sell it, right? However, if it was sold on the black market, it might fetch an astronomical price!

"Royal… black market…" Lin Mo held his chin as a bold idea formed in his mind.

At the same time, the voice of the system suddenly appeared in Lin Mo's mind.

[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Purple Spirit Crystal ]

[ You have received 7,000 times the profit ]

[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. ]

[ The hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk has been distributed to the system space. Host, please take note of it. ]

Another item!

Duanmu Jia was not auctioning medicinal pills or cultivation techniques, she was auctioning pure materials.

Materials were sold according to their quality and rarity. Therefore, one could obtain various materials by auctioning an item!

Earth Core Body Tempering Milk?

Moreover, it had been condensed for a hundred years.

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lin Mo's heart jolted.

This time, he had actually obtained a hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, a genius earthly treasure.

Information about the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk quickly flashed through Lin Mo's mind.

Earth Core Body Tempering Milk was born under the earth. The originally pure earth energy had been compressed over time and formed a fog after a hundred years. It was called earth core fog and had the miraculous effect of being solid

After a thousand years of condensation, it formed into a liquid form. If it was of higher quality, it would be called the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk. It had the miraculous effect of cleansing the marrow and refining the bones.

Moreover, because of the extremely pure earth energy, it could even help some top experts use it to break through!

Generally speaking, because of the harsh conditions for the formation of this Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, very few people had really encountered it.

The ecstasy on his face lasted for quite a while before it gradually faded away.

Lin Mo's consciousness directly entered the system space.

Following that, Lin Mo saw a lump of emerald-colored viscous liquid floating in the system space. This lump of liquid seemed to have spirituality as it slowly flowed in the air.

"This is the hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk?" Lin Mo looked at the hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, and his heart was filled with joy.

The energy in this hundred-year earth core quenching liquid was relatively mild and was suitable for his cultivation.

Lin Mo estimated that as long as he absorbed all of this hundred-year Earth Core Body Tempering Milk, it would take at least half a month.

During this half a month, he could use a medicinal bath to maximize the medicinal effects!

A moment later, Lin Mo slightly gathered his thoughts and left the system space.

At this moment, on the auction stage, Duanmu Jia had already ordered people to carry the second auction item onto the stage.

"The second item in this auction is a fourth-grade medicinal pill, the Soul-cleansing Flower."

Following that, Duanmu Jia gave a detailed introduction of the effects of the Soul-cleansing Flower before starting the auction.

"The auction of the Soul-cleansing Flower begins now. The starting price is 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a series of shouts immediately soared into the sky.

"90,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"120,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"130,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"…"

In just a few breaths' time, this tier 4 medicinal pill had already reached the height of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

Moreover, this price continued to rise.

Not only were there mercenary groups in Lin City, there were also quite a number of guilds.

Faced with this tier 4 medicinal pill, the alchemists present naturally would not let it go.

"210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"220,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"240,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"250,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"…"

A moment later, the price of the Soul-cleansing Flower had already reached 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

"Master, don't you need this Soul-cleansing Flower?"

In the private room, Qing Wu looked at the shouts outside and could not help but feel a little excited.

"My goal this time is to prevent Lin Mo from auctioning off the second half of the Mysterious Heaven Array…"Zi Yue shook her head and explained to Qing Wu.

In the end, this Soul-cleansing Flower was auctioned off at the price of 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

After the Soul-cleansing Flower was auctioned off, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the Soul-cleansing Flower. ]

[7,000 times rebate. ]

[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the hundred-year Green Spirit Vine. ]

Lin Mo's heart jolted.

Following that, information regarding the hundred-year Green Spirit Vine quickly flashed through his mind.

The hundred-year Green Spirit Vine was one of the main ingredients used to refine medicinal pills!

The Green Spirit Pill that could be refined was an indispensable spirit pill when it was used to refine the body of a powerful soul!

"This hundred-year-old Green Spirit Vine is very useful." A trace of joy flashed across Lin Mo's eyes. However, he did not put his mind into the system space this time.

After Duanmu Jia called out the third item for auction, everyone's eyes focused on Duanmu Jia.

"Everyone, the third item in this auction is the energy core of a tier 4 beast."

Chapter 162 - How Precious Is The Soul Power Pill?

Chapter 162: How Precious Is The Soul Power Pill?

Chapter 162: How Precious Is The Soul Power Pill?

After giving a brief introduction of the core, Duanmu Jia began the auction.

"Now, let's begin the auction for this tier 4 core. The starting price is 80,000 low-grade spiritual stones."

"90,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"100,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"110,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

…

A moment later, this tier 4 core was taken by an alchemist.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

[ Congratulations, host, for auctioning the tier 4 beast core. ]

[ Obtained 7,000 times the profit ]

[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining the tier 8 fire demon core ]

1

Rank 8 fire demon core?

This rank 8 fire demon core was a good item.

The so-called fire demon was actually a fire demon. It was a demon that had inherited the bloodline of a phoenix and a dragon, and it often came out to harm the human world.

While Lin Mo was in a daze, Duanmu Jia was not idle on the stage.

"Everyone, let's begin the auction for the fourth item."

As Duanmu Jia said this, the auction hall instantly quieted down.

A delicate and pretty maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly stepped onto the auction stage, presenting the purple brocade box to Duanmu Jia.

Duanmu Jia revealed a smile and slowly reached out to open the brocade box.

In an instant, a rich fragrance was emitted from the brocade box, and then it spread throughout the entire auction venue.

Upon smelling this fragrance, everyone present was shocked.

Top grade medicinal pill!

It was definitely a medicinal pill!

In the private room that Qi Yueheng and the others were in, all of the fragrance surged in.

Upon smelling this fragrance, Qi Yueheng's expression changed and his expression immediately became excited.

"Illusion Spirit Pill!"

"This auction item is definitely an Illusion Spirit Pill!"

"I will definitely obtain this Illusion Spirit Pill!"

Qi Yueheng looked at the position of the auction stage with a determined look on his face.

"Clan Leader Qi, can you be a little more steady? The Illusion Spirit Pill is here anyway, and it won't escape."

Zhao Gongming saw Qi Yueheng lose his composure and could not help but curl his lips.

"What do you know! I've been looking for this Illusion Spirit Pill for five years."

"As long as I get this Illusion Spirit Pill, my strength will be able to crush Bai Wuheng!"

Although Qi Yueheng did not know that Bai Wuheng was already dead, Zhao Gongming was still very surprised to hear that he was able to beat up Bai Wuheng because of a single pill.

Qi Yueheng was in a state of madness, and a faint flush appeared on his face. It was obvious that he was too excited.

Illusion Spirit Pill.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Lin Mo's heart stirred. He hurriedly got Miao Qing to investigate the purpose of this thing.

He learned that the Illusion Spirit Pill, a low-grade tier 5 spirit pill, could greatly increase one's soul power after consuming it!

However, when he thought about the drawbacks of this kind of pill, Lin Mo could not help but frown.

Although consuming the Illusion Spirit Pill could increase the strength of one's soul power, it was only forcefully stimulating the power of one's soul origin. It would cause a huge injury to the soul origin.

After consuming this pill, it was practically impossible for one's soul power to increase.

In other words, if Qi Yueheng took the Illusion Spirit Pill, his soul power would only be able to stop here, unable to improve any further.

Thinking about it, Qi Yueheng probably knew that his potential had reached its end, so he thought of this extreme method.

However, Qi Yueheng said that he had searched for the Illusion Spirit Pill for a full five years, which showed how precious the pill to increase soul power was!

It was also enough to show how powerful the finished product of a space-type tool that could only be made with a powerful soul power was!

"Everyone, the auction item this time is a low-grade tier 5 medicinal pill, Illusion Spirit Pill!"

On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia raised the brocade box in her hand and presented the medicinal pill in it in front of everyone's eyes as he shouted loudly.

Illusion Spirit Pill!

Low-grade tier 5 medicinal pill!

Hearing Duanmu Jia's words, everyone present was instantly shocked.

Especially some alchemists, their eyes revealed a fiery hot expression.

It was actually a tier 5 low-grade medicinal pill!

This was only the fourth auction item, and a tier 5 low-grade medicinal pill had actually appeared.

This time, it was really a big deal!

The entire auction venue instantly descended into a clamor of discussion.

And when Duanmu Jia saw that the atmosphere was almost set off, she paused for a moment and directly started the auction.

"The starting price for the fifth-grade low-grade Illusion Spirit Pill is 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the crowd began to bid frantically.

"210,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"220,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"230,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"240,000 low-grade spiritual stones"

"250,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"…"

"300,000 low-grade spirit stones!"

Before anyone could react, the Illusion Spirit Pill's price had already soared to 300,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

Moreover, the crowd's shouting did not show any signs of slowing down, and the Illusion Spirit Pill's price was still rising crazily.

"310,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"320,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"330,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"…"

"400,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

Soon, the price of the Illusion Spirit Pill had risen to 400,000 low-grade spiritual stones!

At this point, the shouts of the crowd slowed down a little.

Zhao Gongming looked at the anxious Qi Yueheng and curled his lips, "Can you hold your temper?"

"Don't look at how they are shouting happily. The main event will always be at the end."

Hearing this, Qi Yueheng finally calmed down.

This time, he came prepared and brought sufficient funds. Previously, he only spent 800,000, so he still had over two million in his hands!

He would definitely be able to obtain this Illusion Spirit Pill.

Thinking of this, Qi Yueheng's expression calmed down. His gaze slowly looked toward the auction stage.

At this moment, the price of the Illusion Spirit Pill was still continuously rising.

A few alchemists were crazily competing, not giving in at all.

"550,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"600,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"610,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"650,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"700,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

Very quickly, the Illusion Spirit Pill's price had already reached 700,000!

Seeing this price, many alchemists could not help but sigh and choose to give up.

"800,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

At this moment, Qi Yueheng's voice finally sounded.

After reaching this price, the bidding for the Illusion Spirit Pill was almost coming to an end. Duanmu Fei finally could not hold it in any longer.

A pill that could raise one's soul power was really too precious.

At his age, it was really difficult to rely on cultivation to break through.

Moreover, his age did not allow him to go all out like when he was young.

He still had the entire family to manage!

However, after his soul power increased, it was immediately followed by the strengthening of his spiritual sense.

Not only could he learn many cultivation techniques, but he also had a huge advantage over cultivators like Bai Wuheng who neglected their soul power!

Take Zhao Gongming for example. When he heard that the Illusion Spirit Pill was so rare, Zhao Gongming was tempted to make a move.

However, the fourth prince did not provide as much assistance as the second prince.

Zhao Gongming did not have enough money to compete with Qi Yueheng, so he could only watch as Qi Yueheng made a bid.

The strong preyed on the weak in a clan war.

Was Qi Yueheng becoming stronger not a threat to the Zhao family?

Chapter 163 - The Return of the City Lord!

Chapter 163: The Return of the City Lord!

In the end, the Illusion Spirit Pill was taken by Qi Yueheng. Zhao Gongming felt an itch in his heart as he looked at it. The auction had also entered an intermission.

Just as the various large clans were discussing countermeasures, Miao Qing suddenly came forward to report.

"Young master, the city lord has returned!"

"Is that so?" Lin Mo was a little surprised.

He saw the people of the Lin City's city lord's manor bringing over a dozen guards to protect the father and daughter as they entered the auction.

This was also Lin Mo's first time meeting Lin City's city lord, Qin Xiao.

"Young master, this Qin Xiao is someone arranged by the Imperial City. He rarely comes back and usually works in the Imperial City. Will there be any problems when he comes back today?" Miao Qing was a little worried.

Lin Mo smiled and said, "We'll take whatever comes our way. What's there to be afraid of?"

In the VIP room, Zhao Gongming, Qi Yueheng, and the Bai family elders and juniors heard the return of the city lord, and also came forward to greet him.

Lin Mo some doubt, was Qin Xiao's return caused by Zi Yue? However, Zi Yue also had a surprised face, and it was obviously not pretended.

"Long time no see, everyone." Qin Xiao was a radiant middle-aged man, and his daughter, Qin Lin, was even more beautiful. "Today is my daughter's coming of age ceremony. I was invited by the Duanmu clan to participate in the Lin auction to buy my daughter a coming of age ceremony. It won't disturb you, right? "

"How can it be? The Lin City is originally your territory!" Zhao Gongming's face some flattery.

In fact, his Zhao family is also the fourth prince's people. Although Qin Xiao's future was boundless, but there were four big clans in the Lin City, who would be the one to be afraid?

If Bai Wuheng did not offend the eighth prince, who would dare to kill him? Presumably, only Lin Mo has this ability!

After Qin Xiao chatted with everyone for a while, Duanmu Jia arranged for a maid to help Qin Xiao arrange a private VIP room.

Duanmu Jia also appeared to be familiar with Qin Xiao. It seemed that the Duanmu family had been paying attention to Qin Xiao for a long time.

However, at this moment, Lin Mo did not have the time to care about Qin Xiao. Although the city lord had returned, a rising star like him would definitely come into contact with Qin Xiao. No one could tell if they would get along harmoniously or if there would be conflicts.

However, after selling a large amount of materials, especially the ferocious beast's core, the system had given an extremely large amount of tier 5 ferocious beasts' core rewards!

Looking at the pile of tier 5 ferocious beasts' cores in the system space.

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Mo gradually regained his senses.

Although he was a little confused by the system's actions, when he regained his senses, Lin Mo looked at the mountain of ferocious beasts' cores in front of him, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up into a smile.

If they were to return the profits based on the quality, the Lin auction house could usually sell more materials.

These materials would probably not be of use to him for a short period of time, and he could only put them in the system space to eat dust.

However, with the system's actions, Lin Mo was pleasantly surprised.

He might not be able to use a high-quality ferocious beast's core right now, but he could at least use a tier 5 ferocious beast's core, right?

Whether it was used to make weapons or medicinal baths, or even just for auction, it was pretty good.

Based on the value of 200,000 low-grade spiritual stones each, this pile of tier 5 ferocious beasts' cores would be worth a huge sum of money, right?

In addition to the large number of auctioned items and the deposit Zi Yue gave him… He should be the number one richest person in Lin City, right?

Perhaps even the eighth prince Zi Yue could not be as rich as him!

It was a good opportunity for him to make use of this tier 5 ferocious beast's core to better execute his plan of opening a black market and expanding into Great Yan Divine Empire.

After admiring it for a while, Lin Mo slowly exited the system space.

After regaining his consciousness, Lin Mo immediately turned his gaze toward the auction venue.

On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia was already preparing to auction off the seventh item.

"Everyone, let's begin the auction for the seventh item."

As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, a maid carried a purple brocade box and slowly stepped onto the auction stage.

Duanmu Jia went forward and opened the brocade box with a mysterious expression on his face.

"The auction item this time is a little special…"

After saying that, Duanmu Jia stretched out her hands and took out the auction item inside.

"The auction item this time is… The egg of a tier 6 fierce beast, the Ardent Sword Eagle!"

Duanmu Jia held up a blue ferocious beast egg with both hands and said in a high voice.

Tier 6 ferocious beast egg!

Ardent Sword Eagle!

Upon hearing Duanmu Jia's words, the entire auction venue was instantly in an uproar.

"A tier 6 ferocious beast!"

"It's actually a tier 6 ferocious beast!"

"Oh my God!"

"The Lin auction house's spending this time is too heaven-defying!"

"Even the Imperial City's auction venue might not be able to produce a sixth-tier ferocious beast egg, right?"

Everyone looked at the tier 6 ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia's hand, and their eyes emitted a fiery glow.

This was a tier 6 ferocious beast!

Moreover, ut was a flying beast!

"This tier 6 ferocious beast egg must not fall into the hands of the three big families."

Zhao Gongming looked at the beast egg in Duanmu Jia's hand from the corner of his eyes, and a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes.

He was naturally more clear about the value of the tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

If it fell into the hands of other families, then his position as the clan leader of the fourth largest clan would probably be lost!

In the other private rooms, the other two great clans of Lin City were also staring at the ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia's hand with a determined look on their faces.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set off, Duanmu Jia slowly put the ferocious beast egg back into the brocade box.

Looking at the heated gazes of the people below the stage, Duanmu Jia revealed a smile.

"I'm sure all of you are aware of the value of this tier 6 ferocious beast egg. It can no longer be measured by low-grade spiritual stones."

"Therefore, for this auction, apart from using low-grade spirit stones, all of you may wish to use treasures to purchase it. At the same price, I will give priority to natural treasures…"

As soon as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the crowd instantly fell into a state of agitation.

However, using a natural treasure to bid for a level 6 beast egg was understandable.

"Tier 6 ferocious beast egg…"

"It's a flying-type beast!"

Lin Mo was also a little surprised.

This ferocious beast egg was obviously obtained by Duanmu Jia from the Duanmu clan.

Lin Mo did not buy it.

However, after auctioning the ferocious beast egg, he could obtain a higher grade ferocious beast egg through the system!

"Isn't this the gift I gave Jiajia when she graduated from the clan?"

"She actually took it out to be auctioned off?"

"Looks like Jiajia really wants to work hard with Lin Mo…"

Ao Lei looked at the ferocious beast egg in Duanmu Jia's hands with a trace of doubt on his face.

Honestly speaking, if it was him, he would definitely not take out this tier 6 ferocious beast egg to be auctioned off.

He could just keep this tier 6 ferocious beast egg for himself to nurture, right?

If he nurtured it and had a flying mount, coupled with his own strength, he would be able to do whatever he wanted in Lin City, right?

If Duanmo Jia auctioned it off now, Lin Mo would not be able to get it. Would that not be funding his enemy?

"The auction for this ferocious beast egg begins now. There's no starting price. The bidding begins now!"

Chapter 164 - A Tier 6 Ferocious Beast With the Ability to Fly!

Chapter 164: A Tier 6 Ferocious Beast With the Ability to Fly!

In Duanmu Jia's opinion, this ferocious beast egg was a priceless treasure.

Therefore, she did not set a starting price and allowed everyone to freely make their bids.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire auction house fell silent for a moment before an intense bidding noise erupted.

"500,000 low-grade spiritual stones!"

"650,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and one tier 4 pill!"

"800,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!"

"900,000 low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!"

Within a short period of time, this tier 6 ferocious beast egg had risen to an extremely outrageous price.

Even so, everyone still crazily raised the price and did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

"1 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!"

" 1.1 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!"

"1.2 million low-grade spiritual stones, and two tier 4 pills!"

In the auction, the shouts of the crowd were endless, causing the entire auction to become extremely noisy.

Along with the shouts of the crowd, the price of this tier 6 ferocious beast egg also rose steadily, reaching a sky-high price.

After a quarter of an hour, the crowd's shouts gradually slowed down.

Only a few powerful aristocratic families were still fighting in the auction venue.

"1,500,000 low-grade spiritual stones and three tier 4 pills!"

At a corner of the auction venue, Zhao Gongming hesitated for a moment before shouting loudly.

He looked at the tier 6 ferocious beast egg on the auction stage, and a trace of determination appeared in his eyes.

The Zhao clan had to obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

The Zhao clan had always been on good terms with the Duanmu clan. Before the auction started, the Zhao clan leader had gone to the Duanmu clan to investigate.

Although the Duanmu clan did not tell him all the information about the auction items, the Zhao clan was still very confident.

They also revealed that this tier 6 ferocious beast egg was not the most precious thing in the auction.

There were two more items that were even more precious than this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

When he heard this news, the Zhao clan leader was extremely shocked.

To him, a tier 6 ferocious beast egg was already priceless.

What exactly were these two items that were being auctioned? They were actually even more precious than this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

After a series of discussions among the higher-ups of the Zhao clan, the final result was obtained.

The Zhao clan had to get their hands on this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

He also knew that with the fourth prince's background, he definitely would not be able to compete with Qi Yueheng.

Even if he wanted to compete for the next two items, he would not be able to.

Therefore, the Zhao family's higher-ups all thought that it was enough for the Zhao family to get this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

The Zhao family chose not to interfere with the other two auction items.

As soon as the clan leader of the Zhao clan finished speaking, a voice came from the private room of the city lord's mansion.

"2 million low-grade spiritual stones and four tier 4 medicinal pills!"

In the private room, Qin Lin excitedly hugged City Lord Qin Xiao's arm and said with an excited expression.

"Father, you must obtain this Ardent Sword Eagle's egg."

"I don't want the coming of age gift. I want this tier 6 ferocious beast egg."

Hearing this, the city lord's face darkened.

This tier 6 ferocious beast egg as a coming-of-age gift?

What kind of joke was this?

Even the royal princess did not have this kind of treatment…

"Qin Lin, don't mess around. The tier 6 ferocious beast egg is of great importance. It's also an opportunity for your father to cooperate with the Duanmu clan. It's not for fun…"

Thinking of this, City Lord Qin Xiao said seriously.

"Hmph! I won't talk to you anymore…"

Being scolded by City Lord Qin Xiao, Qin Lin's pretty face was a little unhappy. She snorted and left the private room.

"This girl…"

Seeing this, City Lord Qin Xiao shook his head helplessly.

Then, he continued to focus his attention on the auction stage.

"Clan leader, are we still going to continue?"

In the Zhao clan's private room, the first elder of the Zhao clan heard the city lord's bid and looked at Zhao Gongming with a grave expression.

"Add, I don't believe that the city lord will dare to continue wasting time with me."

Hearing this, a trace of gloominess flashed across the Zhao clan leader's face.

"Unless he doesn't want the next two more precious auction items."

Zhao Gongming did not panic in the slightest. He gritted his teeth and said, "3 million low-grade spiritual stones and a tier 5 medicinal pill!"

3 million low-grade spiritual stones!

A tier 5 medicinal pill!

This was almost the Zhao family's limit.

If the city lord's manor continued to press on, then the Zhao clan would have no choice but to give up.

"City Lord Qin Xiao, I hope you won't go too far!"

Zhao Gongming looked in the direction of the city lord's private room, and a trace of coldness appeared in his eyes.

The three great clans would definitely not sit idly by and watch the city lord take care of the last few items.

Otherwise, in the future, Lin City would no longer have a place for the three great clans.

As the Zhao clan's tier 5 medicinal pill appeared, the entire auction instantly went into an uproar.

Tier 5 medicinal pill!

This Zhao clan was truly extravagant!

Looks like the Zhao clan was determined to obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

…

"City lord, what should we do now?"

"Should we continue to follow?"

In the private room where the city lord was located, the middle-aged man looked at City Lord Qin Xiao and said with a serious expression.

Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao's brows were tightly knitted.

"I didn't expect the Zhao clan to actually hide a Tier 5 medicinal pill. They really have hidden it well."

After hesitating for a moment, City Lord Qin Xiao helplessly shook his head.

"It's about time. This should be the Zhao clan's limit."

"Our goal is the tier 6 ferocious beast cub later."

"This is specially prepared for me by the Duanmu clan. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come back."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded his head and stopped bidding.

Duanmu Jia waited for a moment at the auction platform. Seeing that the city lord's manor was no longer bidding, he immediately understood that the other party had given up.

1

Thinking up to this point, Duanmu Jia no longer hesitated and slowly stepped forward to shout.

"This gentleman bids 3,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones and a tier 5 medicinal pill. Does anyone wish to continue bidding?"

Seeing that no one answered, Duanmu Jia directly announced the final result.

"Since no one is bidding, then congratulations to this gentleman. This tier 6 ferocious beast egg belongs to you."

Hearing this, the Zhao clan leader in the Zhao family's private room revealed a relieved expression.

No matter what, he had obtained the tier 6 ferocious beast egg.

The Zhao family had benefited greatly from this auction.

Just as Duanmu Jia finished speaking, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

[ Congratulations on auctioning the Ardent Sword Eagle's egg. ]

[ Obtained 7,000 times the profit. ]

[ Obtained the tier 8 Myriad Poison Beast Egg. ]

The tier 8 Myriad Poison Beast Egg?

Hearing the system notification, Lin Mo was stunned.

Myriad Poison Beast?

What kind of beast was this?

Lin Mo's heart stirred, and his consciousness immediately sank into the system space.

He saw a black beast egg floating in the air within the system space.

Wisps of black air swirled around the beast egg, looking a little strange.

The instant Lin Mo's consciousness came into contact with the black beast egg, he obtained information regarding the Myriad Poison Beast.

The Myriad Poison Beast was a type of poisonous beast between heaven and earth. It possessed extremely powerful poison dissolving abilities.

The Myriad Poison Pearl that was nurtured within its body could dissolve all the poisons in the world!

Chapter 165 - The Shocked Audience, the Amethyst Tiger King Cub!

Chapter 165: The Shocked Audience, the Amethyst Tiger King Cub!

The Myriad Poison Beast had the ability to dissolve all poisons in the world?

The Myriad Poison Beast's ability flashed across Lin Mo's mind, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Such an ability could indeed be called a strange beast in the world.

Furthermore, Lin Mo also discovered that apart from the Myriad Poison Beast's ability to dissolve all poisons in the world…

At the same time, it could also absorb poisons to grow and increase its strength.

Thinking of this ability, a strange expression appeared on Lin Mo's face.

However, the Myriad Poison Beast was still an egg.

If he wanted to display its effects, he had to hatch it first.

Making the Myriad Poison Beast hatch was actually quite simple.

The Myriad Poison Beast was the most poisonous thing in the world. As long as it was soaked in poisonous water and allowed to absorb enough poison, it would be able to successfully hatch.

The Myriad Poison Beast possessed the bloodline of a level 8 ferocious beast. As long as it hatched, it would possess the strength of a tier 6 ferocious beast!

By relying on its unique ability to expel poison and control poison, humans of the same level would not be a match for it!

Looking at the black ferocious beast egg floating in the air, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth curled up into a smile.

After the auction ended, he was prepared to directly hatch the Myriad Poison Beast Egg.

At that time, he would have another capable assistant by his side.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo could not help but smile.

Looking at the ferocious beast egg, Lin Mo's thoughts moved, and his consciousness left the system space.

At this moment, on the auction ground, Duanmu Jia was preparing to auction off the eighth item.

"Everyone, let's begin to auction off the eighth item of this auction."

On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia looked at everyone below the stage and spoke in a high voice.

Hearing this, everyone's attention was drawn over.

The seventh item was a Tier 6 beast egg.

Then what kind of treasure was this eighth item?

Could it be that there would be something more valuable than a Tier 6 beast egg in the auction?

At this thought, everyone's eyes were focused on the auction stage, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Under Duanmu Jia's signal, two men carried an iron cage covered in red cloth and slowly stepped onto the auction stage.

This iron cage was made of special black iron and was extremely hard.

Bang!

As the iron cage landed on the auction stage, it let out a heavy sound and attracted everyone's attention.

What exactly was in the iron cage?

Looking at everyone's expectant expressions, Duanmu Jia did not waste any time. Shee walked over and slowly lifted the red cloth on the iron cage.

"Everyone, the auction item this time is a level six fierce beast, the cub of the Amethyst Tiger King!"

As the red cloth was lifted, Duanmu Jia introduced it to everyone below the stage.

In the iron cage was a small purple beast that was currently in a deep sleep.

Looking at the small purple beast in the iron cage, and then hearing Duanmu Jia's introduction, the entire auction instantly became lively after a moment of silence.

The cub of the tier 6 Amethyst Tiger King?

Everyone's gaze landed on the small Amethyst Tiger King, and they were all shocked.

This was the cub of a tier 6 ferocious beast?

The Duanmu clan was actually willing to put it up for auction?

This was too heaven-defying!

After this auction, the Lin auction house would definitely be famous throughout the entire Yanhuang Divine Empire!

Not only the people in the auction hall were shocked, but the various aristocratic families in the private room, including the city lord's manor, were also somewhat shocked.

"I didn't expect that the tier 6 beast cub that the Duanmu clan mentioned would actually be the cub of the Amethyst Tiger King!"

"The Duanmu clan is giving me a huge gift!"

In the private room where the city lord's manor was located, City Lord Qin Xiao suddenly stood up after hearing Duanmu Jia's introduction. He looked at the little purple beast on the auction stage, and a bright light shot out from his eyes.

Among the tier 6 ferocious beasts, the Amethyst Tiger King clan could definitely be considered a top-tier ferocious beast.

If it was nurtured, even the Netherworld Sea Wyrm of the imperial family could contend against it.

Thinking of this, City Lord Qin Xiao looked at the little Amethyst Tiger King on the auction stage, his eyes filled with passion.

He had to get this Amethyst Tiger King cub.

"It's actually the Amethyst Tiger King cub!"

On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia saw that the atmosphere was about to lighten up, so he did not waste any more time and directly started the auction.

"Everyone, the auction for this Amethyst Tiger King cub begins now."

"There's still no starting price, everyone can start bidding now."

The moment Duanmu Jia finished speaking, shouts of bids instantly resounded throughout the auction.

"800,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 3pills!"

"1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 4 pills!"

"1,200,000 low-grade spiritual stones, five tier 4 pills!"

"1,400,000 low-grade spiritual stones, 6 tier 4 pills!"

"…"

In just a few breaths, the price of the young Amethyst Tiger King had already soared to a sky-high price.

Moreover, this price continued to rise.

Seeing this scene, Lin Mo was speechless.

Were these fellows crazy?

"1,000,000 low-grade spiritual stones, 6 tier 4 pills!"

"1.5 million low-grade spiritual stones, six tier 4 pills, three tier 3 pills!"

"2 million low-grade spiritual stones, six tier 4 pills, and one tier5 pill!"

On the auction stage, the price of the Amethyst Tiger King cub was still rising.

The bids from the various aristocratic families were each more frightening than the last.

The appearance of the tier 6 ferocious beast cub had exposed all the hidden resources they had hidden all these years.

At this moment, some of the smaller aristocratic families no longer had the right to speak. Their eyes were lifeless as they watched the changes in the auction.

Faced with the prices that these large aristocratic families had bid, they simply did not have the courage to continue following.

At this moment, they deeply realized the difference in strength between these small aristocratic families and these large aristocratic families.

Even if they were to go bankrupt, they would not dare to bid such a sky-high price.

The bidding continued for about half an hour before it finally slowed down.

"2,400,000 low-grade spiritual stones, three tier 4 pills, and one tier 5 pill!"

At this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out, causing the entire auction to instantly fall silent.

Tier 5 pills had appeared again!

To the various aristocratic families in Lin City, the existence of fifth-grade items was definitely the final foundation.

This was also the reason why the three great clans and the city lord's manor were able to suppress the other large and small aristocratic families.

Hearing this voice, everyone present turned their gazes towards the direction of the voice.

Lin family!

That was the private room where the Lin family was located.

Within the three great clans in Lin City, the Zhao family had already made a move once.

The Duanmu clan was also the organizer of this auction.

The only one left was the Lin family.

Seeing the Lin family make a move, all the aristocratic families present were thinking.

Could the Lin family take down this tier 6 ferocious beast cub from the city lord's manor?

With regards to the current situation in Lin City, these aristocratic families were naturally well aware of it.

I Inherit An Auction House At The Start, Trillion Times Rebate!

Chapter 166

The Zhao clan had already taken down a tier 6 ferocious beast egg. If this Amethyst Tiger King Cub fell into the hands of the Lin family…

Then from now on, the position of the city lord's manor would fall into an awkward position.

At this moment, in the private room where the Lin clan was…

"Family head, do you think we can snatch it from the city lord's manor?"

The Lin family's first elder looked at the Lin family head with a solemn expression and said in a heavy tone.

"Whether we can succeed or not, we'll have to try before we know!"

Hearing this, the Lin family head's face revealed a resolute expression.

He looked at the little Amethyst Tiger King on the auction stage, and a trace of heat flashed through his eyes.

If they could obtain this tier 6 ferocious beast cub, then the Lin family's future would soar up, and it would be out of control.

Most importantly, Lin Mo's current power was too great and he already had full authority over the Lin auction house.

/ please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M

The next step would probably be to covet the position of the family head.

When the Lin family's first elder heard this, a trace of worry flashed across his face.

Although the Lin family was strong, this was due to Lin Mo.

Currently, less than 5% of Lin Mo's income in the auction house belonged to the Lin family's finances.

Compared to the city lord's manor, there was still a huge gap.

Moreover, the city lord's manor worked for the Imperial City while the four great clans worked for the princes in the Imperial City. There was a fundamental conflict between them.

Qin Xiao was not old, but he was rising step by step. It was obvious that he knew some important figures in the imperial city.

After so many years, if it was not for the Zhao, Qi, and Bai clans forming an alliance, they would have long been suppressed by the city lord's manor.

At the same time, in the private room of the city lord's manor…

"City lord, it's our turn to bid."

Seeing the auction suddenly quieten down, the middle-aged man beside City Lord Qin Xiao immediately spoke.

"I didn't expect the Lin family to be so impatient, directly taking out a tier 5 medicinal pill."

Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao's gaze looked in the direction of the Lin family, his eyes revealing a trace of coldness.

"They won't be so naive to think that I will obediently retreat after taking out a tier 5 medicinal pill, right?"

After a moment of silence, City Lord Qin Xiao directly said to the middle-aged man, "Make your bid!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated and directly shouted at the auction, "3 million low-grade spiritual stones, four tier 4 medicinal pills, and one tier 5medicinal pill!"

As the middle-aged man's voice fell, the entire auction instantly fell into a deathly silence.

However, after the silence, the crowd erupted into a clamor of discussion.

It was another tier 5 medicinal pill!

The city lord's manor finally could not help but to make a move!

What a big spending!

Everyone was shocked. This auction had truly opened their eyes.

…

"Yeah!"

"My father has finally made a move!"

When Qin Lin heard her father announce the bid, she immediately shouted excitedly.

At this moment, she also understood her father's intentions.

So, his target was this tier 6 ferocious beast cub. No wonder he gave up on that ferocious beast egg so easily earlier.

Thinking of this, Qin Lin's pretty face lifted. She looked at Xue Mei beside her with some pride. She was like a general who had won, acting high and mighty.

…

"Family head, what should we do now?"

In the private room where the Lin family was located, the Lin family's first elder looked anxiously at the Lin family's family head.

When he heard this, the Lin family's family head's expression also turned a little ugly.

After a moment of silence, the Lin family's family head said in a deep voice, "Add another tier 5 medicinal pill!"

"This…"

When he heard the Lin family's family head's words, the Lin family's first elder immediately felt a little awkward.

"Family head, we only have one fifth rank pill!"

"Moreover, this pill is still in the auction house's inventory."

"If we do this, won't we be breaking the Lin auction house's rules? Won't we destroy the auction house's reputation?"

The Lin family's family head's face darkened, and he shouted, "Just do as you're told. What are you babbling about? Don't tell me that I don't know my limits?"

Hearing this, the Lin family's first elder's face changed and he could only do as he was told. He shouted at the auction venue, "Three million low-grade spirit stones, four tier 4 pills, and two tier 5 pills!"

As soon as the Lin family's first elder finished speaking, the entire auction venue was stunned for a moment before it fell into a clamor again.

"Two tier 5 pills?"

"This is something that the Lin family can take out?"

"How is this possible? This is an auction item from the Lin family's auction house, right?"

At this moment, it was as if this was the first time that the aristocratic families present recognized the Lin family's strength.

One had to know that although the three great families of Lin City did not have a clear ranking.

However, everyone knew that the Lin family should be considered the weakest among the three great families.

Without the support of the prince, if it wasn't for Lin Mo's arrival, they wouldn't have the ability to fight against the three great families!

However, now, the Lin family suddenly took out two tier 5 medicinal pills. This couldn't help but shock everyone.

Wasn't this Lin family hiding too deeply?

..

"Family head, I didn't expect that the Lin family could actually take out two tier 5 medicinal pills. This is truly inconceivable!"

In the Zhao family's private room, the Zhao family's first elder looked at the Lin family's private room with a shocked expression.

All these years, he had always underestimated the Lin family!

"The Lin family's tier 5 pill came from the Duanmu family. Other than Lin Mo, no one in the Lin family has the capital to challenge the city Lord's Manor. "And Zhao Gongming seems to have known all of this long ago. His expression didn't change at all as he spoke indifferently.

However, just as he said, if Lin Mo was the only one in the Lin family who had the ability to compete with the city Lord's estate.

Lin Mo was the owner of the auction house. How could he compete with the customers for the auction item? Wasn't this breaking the rules?

"What?"

"This tier 5 medicinal pill was given by the Duanmu family. Why did the Duanmu family…"

Hearing this, the first elder of the Zhao family was shocked. He wanted to say something, but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He suddenly understood something.

"The Duanmu family… doesn't want the city Lord Manor to get this Young Purple Crystal Tiger King?"

"They want to do the Duanmu family a favor again? That's why they called Qin Xiao back during his daughter's coming of age ceremony?"

Hearing this, the head of the Zhao family nodded.

This was a countermeasure that the three families had discussed before the auction began.

According to the information that the Lin family received, the Duanmu family's attitude toward Qin Xiao was very ambiguous.

They had the intention of cooperating, but they did not want Qin Xiao to expand in Forest City.

Moreover, if the Duanmu family wanted to cooperate, their first target would naturally be Lin Mo, who did not have any status or background for the time being!

The city Lord's Manor, the Bai family, the Qi family, and the Zhao family all had important figures of the imperial city behind them. Cooperating with any of them would be risky.

Moreover, no one dared to be certain that Qin Xiao had returned this time just for his daughter's coming of age ceremony.

Perhaps he had come with a mission?

Of course, the Duanmu family would not give the Lin family a tier-5 medicinal pill for free.

In order to exchange for this Tier-5 medicinal pill, the Lin family had naturally paid a great price.

This was the current situation in Lin City.

Lin Mo seemed to want to monopolize the city. He was estranged from the Lin family, and no one could say for sure what would happen in the future.

Bai Wuheng of the four big families had already disappeared. Coupled with the fact that he had bought the formation and spent all his savings, he was at risk of being squeezed out.

There were also the Duanmu clan and the mercenary group, which were on the edge of the city, who were the 'troublemakers'.

Qin Xiao's return at this time really made people unable to help but guess his intentions!

"Just… two tier 5 medicinal pills can snatch this Amethyst Tiger King Cub from the city lord's manor?"

The Zhao Clan Leader looked in the direction of the city lord's manor, and a strange glint flashed through his eyes.

It was said that this city lord had a special relationship with the imperial family.

In the city lord's private room…

"City lord, should we continue raising the price?"

The middle-aged man looked at City Lord Qin Xiao and asked nervously.

The Lin family's offer of two tier 5 medicinal pills had truly exceeded his expectations.

The Lin family was the weakest of the three great clans, right?

To actually be able to take out two tier 5 medicinal pills this time was truly inconceivable.

"Nonsense, of course, I have to bid!"

"I must obtain this Amethyst Tiger King cub."

City Lord Qin Xiao's expression was somewhat ugly at this moment.

The Lin family's move had caught him somewhat unprepared.

He could not understand how the Lin family was able to take out two tier 5 medicinal pills?

After all, even he could only take out two tier 5 medicinal pills!

"Could it be…"

Suddenly, City Lord Qin Xiao thought of something. He looked at Duanmu Jia on the auction stage, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.

"The Duanmu clan huh!"

"I thought that you guys had thought it through and were prepared to support me to unify Lin City. It turns out that you want to play this hand and weaken my strength…"

"Their true goal is to support Lin Mo and replace the original position of the Bai clan, right?"

"However, do you think that this will stop me from obtaining the Amethyst Tiger King cub?"

"What a joke!"

"This time, I'll let you guys suffer a crushing defeat!"

After saying that, City Lord Qin Xiao said to the middle-aged man, "Two tier 5 pills, plus a scroll of tier 5 pill formula!"

Hearing that, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He immediately stood up and shouted at the auction venue, "3,200,000 low-grade spirit stones, four tier 4 pills, two tier 5 pills, plus a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula!"

Originally, when the crowd saw that there was no sound coming from the private room of the city lord's manor, he was stunned…

Everyone present thought that the city lord's manor had already given up because the Lin family's bid was too high.

However, when the middle-aged man's bid was announced, the entire auction instantly descended into silence.

Two tier 5 pills!

A scroll of a tier 5 pill formula!

Such a bid caused everyone present to be stunned.

The city lord's manor actually hid a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula?

At the auction venue, when some alchemists heard the city lord's manor's bid, their expressions became even more excited.

One had to know that to alchemists, the value of a scroll of a tier 5 pill formula was far above that of a tier 5 pill.

In the alchemist world, the creation of a pill formula was not as simple as simply taking out a pen to write it down.

When creating a pill formula, the alchemist had to use his own soul power as ink and then use a pen as traction to successfully create a qualified pill formula.

When using a formula, the alchemist had to use his soul power to invade the formula, and only then would he be able to obtain some necessary data and information for refining medicine hidden in the formula.

For example, the number of medicinal ingredients needed, the degree of warmth of the fire, and so on..,

These were all things that needed to be paid great attention to when refining pills.

Without these materials, no matter how outstanding an alchemist's alchemy skills were, they would have to go through many experiments before they could finally refine the pills recorded in the prescription.

However…

During the process of this experiment, it was likely that many precious medicinal ingredients would be damaged. This was an extremely huge loss.

Hence, in the hearts of many alchemists, the value of a pill formula was far higher than a medicinal pill of the same grade.

In other words, the price that the city lord's manor had quoted this time far exceeded the value of three tier 5 medicinal pills.

"What a pity…"

"However, it's worth it to be able to obtain this young Amethyst Tiger King."

After bidding this price, a trace of heartache flashed across City Lord Qin Xiao's eyes.

Originally, this tier 5 medicinal pill formula was given to him by the higher-ups in order to win over the Lin City Alchemist Guild.

However, when the Lin family offered two tier 5 medicinal pills, he was caught off guard.

He could only take out this scroll of a tier 5 medicinal pill formula.

…

"Damn it!"

"How could this be?"

"How could the city lord's manor have a tier 5 medicinal pill formula?"

In the Lin family's private room, when the Lin family head heard the city Lord Manor's offer, his face instantly darkened.

Now, even if he offered another tier 5 medicinal pill, it would still be unable to surpass the city Lord Manor's price.

How could a tier 5 medicinal pill compare to a scroll of Tier 5 medicinal pill formula?

The Lin family's first elder revealed a dejected expression.

After the city lord's manor's sky-high price was offered, the outcome was already destined.

In this confrontation with the city lord's manor, the Lin family suffered a crushing defeat.

In the end, the three great clans did not obtain the Amethyst Tiger King cub, nor did the Lin family obtain it. Instead, it benefited the city lord's Manor.

This was bad news for everyone!

…

On the auction stage, Duanmu Jia knew after the city lord's manor made a bid.

The city lord's manor had already won this competition. The Lin family could not make a higher bid than this. After Qi Yueheng won the Illusion Spirit Pill he did not have the ability to compete with the city lord's manor anymore.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Jia no longer hesitated. She slowly walked up and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?"

"If not, then this tier 6 ferocious beast cub will belong to this mister."

Upon hearing Duanmu Jia's words, there was complete silence. In the Lin family's private room, the Lin family head only revealed a dejected expression.

Seeing this, Duanmu Jia could only helplessly announce the final result.

"Since no one is bidding, then I announce that this tier 6 beast cub will belong to this mister."

As he spoke, Duanmu Jia looked in the direction of the city lord's private room.

Hearing Duanmu Jia's announcement, City Lord Qin Xiao finally revealed a smile.

In the end, he won!

[ Congratulations on auctioning the tier 6 Amethyst Tiger King cub. ]

[ Obtained 8,000-fold rebate. ]

[ Congratulations on obtaining the tier 8 Colorful Fire Demon cub. ]

Tier 8 ferocious beat!

A Colorful Fire Demon cub?

Was this the Colorful Fire Demon that was popular among the people and often hurt people?

As Lin Mo's consciousness entered the system space, he saw a colorful object floating in the air.

The dazzling brilliance was actually the flames on the Colorful Fire Demon's body!

"That's right. It is indeed a Colorful Fire Demon from the folklore, and it is the highest tier Colorful Fire Demon!" Lin Mo was extremely amazed.

It was extremely difficult to nurture a young ferocious beast. Not only did it consume time, but it also consumed the flesh and blood of other ferocious beasts. For example, cores, various ingredients, spirit herbs, pills, and so on.

However, it just so happened that Lin Mo had all of these things!

"If it was someone else who nurtured this Colorful Fire Demon, it would take at least fifteen years before it could transform from a young cub to an adult…"

"But in my hands, it only takes two years!"

When the Colorful Fire Demon matured, it would transform into a Rainbow Fire Demon. However, the Colorful Fire Demon was still a palm-sized butterfly-type ferocious beast.

However, no matter how good a ferocious beast cub was, it still needed to be nurtured. They could not be rushed.

After the auction ended, the various clan leaders made reservations for the auction the day after tomorrow and left one after another.

However, Lin Mo believed that in the future auctions, more and more unfamiliar faces would appear. This was because the cooperation of the Duanmu clan was the best signboard.

From now on, all the major families of the Yanhuang Divine Empire would know that the Lin auction house was rising.

Lin Mo also checked the Lin auction house's accounts. During this period of time, the auction house's total profit had already reached 64 million low-grade spiritual stones.

This was a real net income. It completely disregarded any operating costs and entered Lin Mo's pocket.

This amount of wealth was comparable to that of the rich in the Imperial City! However, it was a flaw. Although Lin Mo had a lot of wealth, he did not have many assets. Currently, the only thing that could continuously create value was the Lin auction house.

…

At night, Lin Mo arranged for everyone to gather together to welcome Duanmu Jia.

At the luxurious dining table, Lin Mo did not hide his plans. "Wu Jin, Miao Qing, I'll leave the Lin auction house to you. As for Jiajia, you can follow me around and help me with some paperwork. At the same time, you can also think about how we should purchase the property with the money we have. "Okay."

/ please keep reading on MYB0XNOVEL.C0M

Making money and investing were two completely different things. Lin Mo had the Lin auction house that was constantly making money, but if the investment did not go well, no matter how much money he had, it would be useless.

After all, a small spiritual stone mountain could produce around 45 million low-grade spirit stones, and the spiritual stone mountain of the Yanhuang dynasty was everywhere.

Lin Mo could only be said to be rich. He was still far from being a true big shot. Even the Qi clan, Zhao clan, and Bai clan of Lin City could slightly suppress him.

Duanmu Jia understood Lin Mo's thoughts, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "Master, Jiajia suggested that you change to land development. One is to make the auction house a signboard. Two is to follow your plan and invest while developing the underground black market. You can also build a few warehouses along the way."

Duanmu Jia's plan was very pragmatic, but Lin Mo had his own ideas. He said mysteriously, "What do you guys think about me becoming the city lord?"

"Become the city lord?" Wu Jin, Miao Qing, and Duanmu Jia were instantly in disbelief.

Lin Mo did not continue explaining. He just slowly outlined his own business blueprint in his heart.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Mo and the others arranged their accommodations. As Lin Mo's 'private property', Duanmu Jia naturally had to live with Lin Mo.

However, on the way to the Lin family's residence, Lin Mo felt sudden killing intent.

He hurriedly activated the 'Cloud Breaking Sword Technique' and grabbed a sword from the air, sweeping it across.

A wave of purple qi shot out from the air, and Lin Mo quickly reacted. "Not good, it's poisonous! Miao Qing, quickly bring Wu Jin and Jiajia away!"

He had met an assassin, and when he saw the person who wanted to assassinate him, Lin Mo's eyes lit up. This person was indeed the mysterious person who had killed Bai Wuheng by Zi Yue's side!

"And he's an expert with the strength of the Dragon Transformation Realm…" Lin Mo smiled confidently and used the Swimming Dragon Steps as he chased after the mysterious person.

The mysterious person was shocked. It seemed that he did not expect Lin Mo, as the manager of the Lin auction house, to actually have such a strong strength?

After several rounds of battle, he actually lost. Just as the mysterious person was about to leave, Lin Mo flicked his finger toward the air and injected a tier 2 ferocious beast core that Duanmu Jia had bought from the Duanmu clan's business group into the mysterious person's body.

"Cough, cough!" The mysterious man's face turned pale. He had never expected that this beast core had the effect of being poisoned and that it would cripple his cultivation for a longer period of time!

"Despicable scoundrel!" The mysterious man cursed. Lin Mo raised his brows and only then did he realize that the mysterious person was actually a woman.

However, he did not show any mercy to her. Instead, he struck the mysterious woman's lower abdomen with the Star-Shattering Dragon Fist.

The mysterious person's soft body fell heavily to the ground, causing Miao Qing to be stunned.

"Young master is too strong!" Miao Qing was shocked when Lin Mo stepped forward and took off the mysterious person's bamboo hat.

As expected, it was a graceful woman in the Dragon Transformation Realm. Her fiery red lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were filled with fury. Moreover, the cultivation techniques and moves she used were all from the royal family.

"How could you have the strength of a Dragon Transformation Realm tier 5?" The lady was extremely unwilling. Her strength was only at tier 5 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. With her strength, she should be able to swim freely in Lin City.

She was actually captured alive by Lin Mo who pretended to be weak!

"Young master, what should we do now?" After seeing that it was safe, Miao Qing asked Lin Mo for his opinion with a pale face.

Lin Mo smiled sinisterly. He knew that this woman would not admit her identity. It would be better to lure the snake out of its hole and see if Zi Yue would come to save her. At the same time, he would also probe the truth behind the assassination attempt on him by the mysterious person!

…

The next day, In front of the Lin auction house, the crowd was surging, and the noise soared to the sky.

In front of the Lin auction house, more than a dozen men dressed in black with indifferent expressions wore sharp weapons on their waists. Their eagle-like eyes constantly swept across the crowd that was coming and going.

From the faint aura that was emitted from these men's bodies, it seemed that these dozen or so people were actually dragon transformation realm cultivators.

When some people from outside factions saw this scene, they could not help but exclaim in their hearts.

There were Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators among those who were casually used to guard the door. It seemed that the Lin family had really risen up recently.

One had to know that even the Imperial City's auction house might not be willing to use a Dragon Transformation Realm expert as a gatekeeper.

These powerhouses were the mercenaries that Wu Jin had hired for the sake of the auction house's safety.

After all, after Lin Mo was targeted for assassination, the Lin auction house could be said to have entered a state of war readiness. One had to know that the current Lin auction house could not do without Lin Mo.

"Master, this way please!"

In the auction house, Wu Jin walked in front and led Lin Mo to a private room.

"Alright, go do your thing. Do whatever you want. With me around, no one can cause any trouble."

Lin Mo waved his hand at Wu Jin and said in an indifferent tone.

When Wu Jin heard this, his mind was slightly shaken. Immediately, an excited expression appeared on his face. "Yes, master!"

Lin Mo slowly pushed open the door of the private room with Miao Qing and walked in.

"Miao Qing, help me keep an eye out. I heard that there are many foreigners coming to the auction this time. There are too many people and there are too many eyes. It's easy to cause trouble. If someone intentionally causes trouble at my auction, no matter who he is, he will be suppressed first. Lin Mo sat down on the chair and instructed Miao Qing.

"Yes, master. This subordinate will keep an eye out."

Hearing this, Miao Qing bowed and replied. Then, he quietly released his soul power and observed the situation at the auction.

…

"City lord, have you still not found any news about Qianqian?"

Not far from Lin Mo, in a private room, Zi Yue asked City Lord Qin Xiao indifferently.

Hearing this, City Lord Qin Xiao thought of the news he had just heard and hesitated. Finally, he looked at Zi Yue and slowly said, "Miss Zi Yue, I think the senior has been captured by the Lin family."
