âDirty? Could it be that they priced it too low?â
Qilin asked. They were in short supply of spirit stones and were in urgent need of various elixirs for cultivation. They could not afford to be schemed against.
âNo, itâs too high. Five million is the deal price of the Ocean Blue Jade Essenceâ¦â
Lin Mo sighed. After seeing the market price in Demon State, he had the idea of building a force again.
He had a system that gave him treasures at rebates. It would be zero-cost profiteering for him here.
âNo wayâ¦â
Qilin was shocked. If the deal price was announced as the starting price, would anyone still buy it?
In fact, her worries were unnecessary.
The Ocean Blue Jade Essence was still very precious, so many people were bidding for it.
In the blink of an eye, the price of the Ocean Blue Jade Essence was raised to 6.5 million.
Even so, there were still three people competing.
âSix million six hundred thousand.â
âSix million eight hundred thousand.â
The auction reached its climax. Many people were cheering, and the atmosphere was unusually lively.
Under such an atmosphere, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence was successfully auctioned off at the high price of seven million spirit stones.
âI can stay in Demon State for a while longerâ¦â
Lin Mo immediately decided to profit from Demon State. Otherwise, he would have come for nothing.
[Congratulations for successfully auctioning an earth-grade tier 9 material, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence.]
[Successfully triggered a 1,000-fold auction rebate.]
[Congratulations on obtaining an earth-grade tier 9 material, First Water Fine Gold.]
âAs expectedâ¦â
Lin Mo sighed. There were pros and cons to this, and the cons were a little obvious â¦
In other places, auctioning off earth-grade tier 9 materials and elixirs could give him something heaven-grade in return.
Here, the rebate was too little. What he got in return was not even half a step into heaven grade, let alone heaven grade.
âWe earned an extra two million spirit stones. Letâs go to the deep mountains more and dig up more treasures to sell. We can make a lot of money.â
Qilin was extremely excited. What they lacked at the moment were cultivation resources.
However, with her identity as an auspicious beast, it would be easy to find treasures.
Before entering the ancient battlefield, they would definitely be able to earn a fortune.
âYes, and Demon State is the safest place in comparison.â
Lin Mo smiled and nodded. There were pros and cons to this. Demon State was chaotic, so he did not have to worry about his identity being exposed.
âAlright, the next item is an earth-grade tier 9 magic tool, the Luo Shui Sword. It is also a magic tool for water element cultivators.â
A magic tool would be welcomed no matter where it was.
The higher-ranked ones, in particular, would be placed in treasure vaults as inheritances even by major forces.
âThe Luo Shui Sword was appraised to be expensive to make, so the starting price is set at eight million high-grade spirit stones.
âEach bid must be at least 200,000 high-grade spirit stones.â
After the auctioneer finished speaking, he knocked the hammer in his hand, announcing the start of the auction.
âEight million five hundred thousand.â
âEight million seven hundred thousand.â
There were many treasures in Demon State. There would be earth-grade tier 9 weapons in a small city like this, but there were not many of them.
No one expected one to appear today, so half of the people were extremely excited.
They all wanted to bid for the Luo Shui Sword, not wanting to miss it.
Unfortunately, after the auction went on for a while, there were only a dozen people left who were willing to bid.
It could not be helped. In such a short time, the price of the Luo Shui Sword had reached 11 million.
According to Lin Moâs estimation, the Luo Shui Swordâs price would be raised to at least 15 million.
This was equivalent to some extremely high-quality spiritual medicines.
âYouâre right. This is Demon State, and itâs chaotic. Even in the city, there are many killings.
âTo them, spiritual medicine is precious, but magic tools that can increase combat power in the shortest time are the most popular.â
Due to those reasons, the price of magic tools would rise by a level.
âWhat if I auction divine medicine? The price will be even higherâ¦â
Lin Mo said in a low voice. That said, there was another possibility, and that was that he would be targeted by someone who would directly rob the auction houseâ¦
âWhat did you say? We donât even have enough divine medicine and you still want to auction them?â
When Qilin heard Lin Moâs words, she was instantly displeased.
They did not have a single divine medicine at the moment, so they had to slowly search for one or go to a bigger city to buy one.
When she heard that Lin Mo wanted to sell divine medicine, she was extremely displeased.
...
âDonât worry, Iâll only sell them when I have enough divine medicine.â
Lin Mo laughed. Even if he wanted to sell them now, he could not because he no longer had any divine medicine on hand.
âI hope that I can obtain divine medicine this timeâ¦â
Lin Mo prayed in his heart as he waited for the auction to end.
Unsurprisingly, the price of his Luo Shui Sword was raised to 15.5 million high-grade spirit stones.
If it was sold in other regions, it would probably only be sold at half the price.
[Congratulations for successfully auctioning the Luo Shui Sword, an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon.]
[Successfully triggered a 200-fold auction rebate.]
[Congratulations on obtaining an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon, the Cold Spirit Sword.]
This time, the rebate was even lower. An azure spirit sword appeared in the system space, emitting a cold light.
Although it was powerful, Lin Mo did not think much of it.
...
To him, this magic weapon was equivalent to another 15 million high-grade spirit stonesâ¦
âThe next item is the third last item. Itâs said to be a defective divine pill. I just donât know if itâs true.
âAfter our appraiserâs appraisal, this is a degraded divine pill. It was originally of heaven-grade tier 1.
âDue to the passage of time, 70 â 80% of its medicinal properties have been lost, so its grade has dropped a lot. Itâs now of earth-grade tier 9.â
As the auctioneer introduced, the maid behind brought out a silver plate. On the silver plate was a jade bottle with runes engraved on it.
Even though it was sealed by runes, Lin Mo could still smell an extremely rich pill fragrance.
âItâs the fragrance of a divine pill.â
Qilin also smelled it and was certain that it was a divine pill.
âHowever, compared to a real heaven-grade divine pill, itâs still much weaker. The aura is right, but itâs a little weak.â
She shook her head. If the medicinal effect had weakened so much, then the original medicinal effect of the divine pill had also been destroyed.
Even if they bought it, they would only absorb the spiritual Qi inside.
The original medicinal effect of the divine pill was lost, and it was not worth it to buy it at a high price.
âDo you think we should buy it?â
Lin Mo asked. It was better to let Qilin make the decision.
âNo, but you can if you want to. With me around, you wonât lose anything, but I donât know if you can make a profit.â
Qilin said with uncertainty. At the same time, she also told Lin Mo not to rely too much on luck. He had not reached the stage where he could get in contact with luck.
Karma was very mysterious. If one had excessive contact with too much power beyond oneâs own, one would be easily killed.
âKilled? Who would want to kill me?â Lin Mo was stunned. He did not understand why Qilin would say that.
âI donât know. Anyway, that is what was written on my inheritance mark. Donât rely too much on luck, or itâll be difficult to take the last step in the future.â
As for which step it was, Qilin did not know.
Therefore, the ability to determine the value of a treasure by observing its fate should not be used unless there was no other way.
