n

nThere were not as many patrons as before in the auction house.

n

nLin Mo had spread the news. Logically speaking, there should not be so few people.

n

n“I thought that it would be more lively this time, but why is it the opposite?”

n

nThe person’s companion made a silent gesture and looked around. Then, he said in a low voice, “Isn’t the atmosphere a little strange?”

n

nAlthough there were fewer people, the most important folks still came, such as Du Nanfeng.

n

n“I’ve gotten some insider information. Apparently, there’s bad blood between the Miao family and Lin Mo.”

n

n“Huh? Lin Mo just arrived at Qingyang City. How did he offend them already?”

n

n“You’re out of the loop because you didn’t attend the first auction. The clash started back then. See for yourself. Miao Yan definitely came with ill intentions.”

n

nQuite a few people had witnessed Miao Yan and Lin Mo’s conflict. Miao Yan had already provoked Lin Mo before. Nobody knew what he would do this time. However, judging by his expression, one could easily tell he was not here to make friends.

n

nAt this moment, Miao Yan had a dark expression on his face. He did not utter a single word and just sat on his seat. Everyone around him behaved very carefully. They were afraid to offend him.

n

nNaturally, it was unwise to antagonize the Miao family. Their family had monopolized all of the medicinal pills in Qingyang City. These pills were important for one’s cultivation and it was difficult for ordinary people to get their hands on them.

n

nSo, even though they were tempted, most people dared not participate in Lin Mo’s auction this time around.

n

nOf course, there were others who were not afraid such as the Huang family’s twin sisters, Wang Qing, and more.

n

n“Why is the Du family’s patriarch here though?”

n

nUpon seeing Du Nanfeng, many people revealed an astonished expression. Based on his status, there was no reason for him to be here.

n

n“I heard that his demonic beast is about to have a breakthrough, so he’s here to look for high-level demonic beasts as fodder. The Du family had been searching everywhere. They won’t miss any opportunity. It’s probably why he’s here.”

n

n“I see.”

n

n“It’s possible that Miao Yan wants to kill Lin Mo. Moreover, Lin Mo has no support from his family. Miao Yan is definitely going to make a move.”

n

n“The Miao family is so overbearing. Does Lin Mo know about this?”

n

n“They had always been like this. The Chaos Pill that Lin Mo auctioned off earlier was already a slap to their faces. Lin Mo’s arrival has disrupted the order of the other factions that had long been established. No doubt, they will try to get rid of him.”

n

n“Lin Mo should be aware. After all, someone tried to assassinate him earlier. It seems like he’s quite powerful.”

n

n“So what if he’s strong? He can’t possibly take on the entire Miao family by himself.”

n

nJust as everyone was discussing, Wu Jin walked up to the center of the stage.

n

n“Welcome. There are three items up for auction this time.”

n

nThe crowd became quiet. All that mattered was the auction. As for the grudge between Lin Mo and the Miao family, it was none of their business.

n

n“The first item up for auction is a tier 4 top-grade movement technique. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

n

nA portion of the crowd revealed a surprised expression.

n

n“Isn’t that the item that Lin Mo had spent over 20,000 spirit stones to acquire from the royal family’s auction house? I was there. It’s no mistake.”

n

n???

n

nEveryone was confused. They had no idea what was happening. In fact, Lin Mo’s starting price was much lower than the original.

n

n“The technique must have been too difficult for him to cultivate. After all, it’s a tier 4 item that has the potential to become tier 5. That must be why he decided to resell it.”

n

nMost of the people felt the same way. No one expected Lin Mo to successfully cultivate the “Dust Rising Steps” already!

n

nNot to mention Qingyang City, even in the entire continent, barely anyone could learn and comprehend this cultivation technique in such a short period of time.

n

nMiao Yan’s expression was somewhat disdainful.

n

nHe sneered and said, “I thought there would be something good, but it’s just a recycled item. This guy must be at the end of his wits. He doesn’t have anything valuable. That’s why he’s reselling things.”

n

nLin Mo was probably lacking in resources and could only come up with this plan. That was what most people thought.

n

nOne of Miao Yan’s lackeys tried to flatter him.

n

n“Who cares. It’s fine as long as he’s not a threat to us.”

n

nMiao Yan revealed a hint of killing intent.

n

n“Even if he is a threat, so what? The Miao family can easily get rid of him.”

n

nHuang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou looked at each other. They were pleasantly surprised. Obviously, they were very interested in this cultivation technique.

n

nThe Huang family did not have a very good relationship with the royal family. As such, they did not attend their previous auction. They were aware that Lin Mo had obtained the “Dust Rising Steps”, but they never expected him to resell it. This was a great opportunity for them.

n

n“6,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

n

n“8,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

n

n…

n

nA number of people wanted this cultivation technique. The two sisters were determined to obtain it as well. In the end, they managed to get it for eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones.

n

n“Isn’t Lin Mo a little foolish? He’s reselling this cultivation technique so quickly.”

n

nOf course, in terms of price, Lin Mo could not compete with the royal family.

n

nIt could be said that Lin Mo had suffered a great loss. Even his family would not be able to keep his business afloat if this went on.
