nChapter 44 The Auction Continues

nLin Mo waved his hand at Wu Jin, telling him there was another item to be auctioned. Wu Jin had no recollection of the extra item and felt that it was strange, but he did not say anything.

n“Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have added another item to the auction. It’s a tier 5 top-grade medicinal pill, Profound Breathing Pill. Starting price is 9,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

nA Profound Breathing Pill! Obviously, it was even better than the Breathing Pill. Everyone’s eyes lit up. They looked determined.

nThis made Wang Qing feel like he had made the wrong decision. If he had known that the Profound Breathing Pill existed, he definitely would not have bought the Breathing Pill. “10,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

n“12,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

nDu Wan and the Huang sisters started bidding. Clearly, they had the same thoughts and wanted the Profound Breathing Pill. The pill was very important to them.

nOn the other hand, Lin Mo was indifferent. After all, his cultivation level was far higher than what the Profound Breathing Pill could offer.

nSome people realized this and were shocked.

nThe price had soared to eighteen thousand low-grade spirit stones and the Huang sisters began to look hesitant. Huang Zhiyun wanted to continue bidding, but she was stopped by Huang Zhirou. She explained, “The price is a little high now. There are still a few more items to be auctioned. Perhaps there will be something better. We can skip this pill.” After giving it some thought, Huang Zhiyun agreed. The Huang sisters stopped bidding. Naturally, normal people were no match for Du Wan. In the end, the medicinal pill was bought by him for twenty thousand low-grade spirit stones.

nSince this item was a reward by the system, Lin Mo did not gain anything. Still, he did earn a large number of spirit stones. No doubt, it was a profit.

n“The third item to be auctioned is a tier 4 low-grade martial art, Shattered Star Fist. Starting price is 5,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

nAlthough it was only a tier 4 low-grade martial art, its destructive power was quite rare. As such, it had aroused the interest of some people.

nOn the other hand, Lin Mo did not cultivate this technique because it was too fierce and did not match his style.

nLin Mo’s main interest was sword arts. There was no need for him to cultivate fist art. It would be too much. He knew his limits.

nFor most cultivators, they were empty-handed. It was very difficult for them to find a suitable magic treasure. Buying a top-grade magic treasure required a large number of spirit stones. So, cultivating a fist technique was the next best option. “6,000 low-grade spirit stones!” “8,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

nLin Mo noticed that Du Wan and Wang Qing were also bidding. However, the Huang sisters who usually bid on martial arts did not.

n“Looks like they don’t just bid on any martial arts.”

nAccording to Lin Mo’s observation, the Huang sisters liked to collect various martial arts and cultivation techniques. He did not expect them to actually be picky.

nNevertheless, it was not strange. There were tons of martial arts and cultivation techniques in this world. No matter how rich they were, It would be impossible for them to collect everything

nInitially, Lin Mo thought they might be interested in the “Golden Shield Art” but now, he was a little apprehensive. As for the others, he had not observed them too much and did not know if they would take a fancy to an incomplete martial arts manual.

nLin Mo had to successfully auction it off before he could receive the system’s reward.

nNo one expected an unknown middle-aged man to win the bid for the “Shattered Star Fist”. Based on his appearance, he seemed to be from a foreign country. Lin Mo did not recognize him, but the man emitted quite an extraordinary aura.

n Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 low-grade martial art, Shattered Star Fist.

n Successfully triggered 1,000 times return!

n Obtained a tier 5 top-grade martial art, Shattered Star Dragon Fist!

nJust from the name alone, it sounded rather amazing. If Lin Mo was not focusing on sword arts, he would certainly be very interested in cultivating this technique. Regardless, he decided to keep the martial art for now. Perhaps it would be useful in the future.

n“The fourth item up for auction is a tier 4 middle-grade Aconitum Inner Core Pill. Starting price is 6,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

n“That’s a good item! An aconitum snake is extremely poisonous. Hence, its inner core has a powerful resistance effect. Most poisons can be cured by consuming that pill.”

n“My brother was accidentally stung by a black scorpion. He died because there was no suitable medicine to treat his wounds. Such an unfortunate event would not have happened if he had that pill.”

nThere were many highly toxic demonic beasts and hazards in the forest. One slight mistake and it would be fatal. In fact, it was almost inevitable. Having the Aconitum Inner Core Pill was like having an extra life. A person would feel much more at ease by having it than not.

nEveryone knew the value of that pill. Thus, the bids were especially intense.

n“7,000 low-grade spirit stones!” “8,000 low-grade spirit stones!”

nMost of the bidders were foreign cultivators, mercenaries, and so on. They had traveled far and wide all year round. These medicinal pills were necessary as they often face dangers.

nOn the contrary, the locals, especially those who came from powerful families, did not bid.

nTheir clans could provide them with such resources by themselves. Besides, they did not need to risk their lives for resources as they could just purchase them with spirit stones. It was one of the perks of being rich.

nFrom this, one could clearly see the difference between an ordinary person and someone who came from a rich family. A regular person stood no chance against a powerful clan. Ironically, for this reason, more people were bidding. The price was soaring but not at a terrifying speed like the previous few items.

nAfter all, normal people would not casually raise the price up to tens of thousands.

nAs a result, the Aconitum Inner Core Pill was bought by a foreign expert.

nAt the same time, the system notification sounded in Lin Mo’s mind.

n Ding! The host has successfully auctioned a tier 4 middle-grade Aconitum Inner Core Pill.

n Successfully triggered 500 times return!

n Acquired a tier 6 low-grade Gold-striped Snake Inner Pill!
