After looking at it for a few minutes, another attendant walked over and gently placed two thick atlases in front of their table. He said softly, "This is the map of the items being auctioned. Please have a look."

Nodding his head, Lin Jin picked up the map book and started to look through it.

The picture book was beautifully crafted and the pictures taken were vivid and lifelike. It looked almost like a physical object. Besides, beside the coloured picture on the auction item, there were descriptions of those items by various experts.

Talking about the Old Man explained from the side: "This time's auction items will be auctioned off in accordance with the ten main categories of porcelain, gold and silver, bronze and other items. All of them were entrusted by the Southern Grave Thief Association to be auctioned off at the auction.

Therefore, it was almost impossible for any fakes to appear. Right now, the first auction is taking place, mainly on porcelain. The book you're looking for is a special auction for ancient books in two hours.

Lin Jin, why don't you go and take a few pieces of porcelain back to your Bamboo Wind Restaurant to make it more interesting. "

Lin Jin smiled and did not say anything. Although he was not afraid of death, but towards the things that had just been unearthed from the grave, he still did not feel cold.

Because they were all things that could not be exposed, it was impossible for the price to be called out too excessively, so Auctioneer's voice was a little listless, and usually after four or five bids, it was already sold.

And because of this, until now, the atmosphere within the auction house was still very calm, unlike the other public auctions where it was yelled out.

Lin Jin looked through the catalog, and sure enough, he found the name of the "《 The holly seed》 inner section" in the Ancient Book category. When he flipped to the page marked on the catalog, he saw that the《 holly seed》 inner section was divided into six books, with a light gold cover, it was the book that was written by Song Que.

Furthermore, the words "holly seed" written on the cover of the book were elegant and graceful, revealing a sense of being above the world. Next to the picture were several rows of small words. It was an explanation of books made by experts.

Lin Jin only cared about the contents of the book, so he only took a glance at the explanation before sending it over. He flipped to the next page and found another ancient book.

He turned back to look at the cover of the《 holly seed》 and found nothing special about it. Then, he flipped to the other two items mentioned by Talking about the Old Man — the thousand year peach wood sword and the heavenly thunder command medallion.

From the colourful drawing, the blade of the thousand year peach wood sword was a bronze color, giving it a desolate aura. In the next note, the sword was 120.47 cm long.

The sword's width was 4.9 cm, and on the sword's body there were even carvings of a tiger pattern and dozens of rune, it was obviously not an ordinary tool.

But the peach wood sword was usually used to exorcise evil spirits and suppress demons. Lin Jin only cultivated his own body, and even to deal with the Evil, he still had the help of the Soul Glyphs, so he did not value the peach wood sword much.

On the other hand, the Heavenly Thunder Token was a small silver white token with several rune Incantation of Lightning. With a single glance.

Lin Jin suddenly felt a dignified and solemn feeling from the badge. From the looks of it, the Heavenly Thunder Token was a lot better than the thousand year peach wood sword, but Lin Jin knew that he had to specialize in controlling the sword.

Without the corresponding incantations and incantations, it was impossible to do. Hence, he only took a glance before ignoring it.

At this time, less than half of the auction for porcelain was already going on, and from the corner of his eyes and the Auctioneer's shouts could be heard.

He knew that Talking about the Old Man had raised the card five times, and had probably bought three sets of porcelain. He turned around, and seeing Talking about the Old Man's happy expression, he smiled and asked: "Old Master, what kind of treasures did you find?"

The Talking about the Old Man didn't even turn his head and smiled: "What treasure is that? The porcelain that was unearthed this year isn't anything good. "I'm just taking a few casual shots to improve my appearance." After saying that, he focused his attention back on the screen.

Lin Jin saw that he was looking at it seriously, so he did not disturb him and continued to read the map book boringly.

After flipping through it for a while, when he found a bronze grade weapon, he was suddenly attracted by an octagonal bronze mirror.

It was an ancient mirror covered in yellow rust. On the back of the mirror, there was a picture of a Yin Yang fish. It was similar to the Demonic Mirror that ordinary Daoists used. Nothing strange. However, what attracted Lin Jin's attention was not the pattern on the back of the mirror.

It was the potholes on the bronze rusted front of the mirror.

If it was anyone else, they would have thought that these specks of light were ordinary specks of rust, but for some reason, Lin Jin felt that these specks of light seemed to have formed a mysterious pattern, as if he had seen them somewhere before, causing him to feel a sense of familiarity with them.

But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't recall it. It made him feel very strange. He looked at the comment on the side and saw that it said: Eight-horn Taiji bronze mirror, 11.3 cm in diameter … The starting price was five hundred yuan.

Lin Jin wanted to bid on it and see what kind of secrets were hidden in those little dots, so he hurriedly touched the Talking about the Old Man and asked: "Old Gramps, when is the auction for the bronze equipment?"

When the Talking about the Old Man heard this, he turned around and saw the ancient mirror pattern on the tome in Lin Jin's hands. He thought that Lin Jin had found some kind of treasure and couldn't help but guess: "The auction of the bronze equipment … It seems to be tomorrow morning. Could this broken mirror be like your fishing rod, and also be a treasure? "

Lin Jin shook his head: "No, it's just that I feel that this mirror is a little strange, and I want to buy it to take a look."

"What is strange? Let me take a look! " When the Talking about the Old Man heard that the mirror was strange, he could not help but be curious. He immediately took the book from his hands and started looking at the pictures in the ancient mirror seriously.

"Isn't it just a broken mirror? "What's so strange about that?" But after looking at it for a while, he could not see anything, so he could only shake his head and give the map book back to Lin Jin.

"I don't know. It's just a feeling. I'll take a look at it after I take the photo. Old Master, you better focus on buying your porcelain! Don't miss anything. " Lin Jin laughed.

"..." Rainbow Horned Ear porcelain cup seven pieces... "The starting price is 10,000 yuan …"

Just then, Auctioneer started another piece of porcelain on the stage. When Talking about the Old Man heard his voice, he immediately looked at the screen and participated in the bidding again. However, he remembered the appearance of the ancient mirror in his heart.

The first Auction round would end at eight-thirty, and there would be a ten-minute break in between. Seeing Talking about the Old Man's smiling face, Lin Jin knew that he had profited greatly.

However, at this time, a few of Talking about the Old Man's colleagues also came to congratulate him. Lin Jin was from the second round of the Auction's ancient records, so he had no intention to interact with these antique dealer s.

Not long after, the special auction of ancient books started. Lin Jin quickly focused on the screen, afraid that he would miss the < < holly seed > >.

"No. 501. "The engraved version contains three volumes of Tang Song's Eight Classics. The starting price is 50 thousand yuan, there are no offers, and there are no offers …"

This was the first time the Auction had auctioned a book in her auction. When the Auctioneer called out, several antique dealer people responded to the price and raised it all the way up to 150 thousand. This really made Lin Jin, the person who only bought over two hundred books, speechless.

However, he did not worry about the money in his hands. With a base of six million, Lin Jin was still determined to get the《 holly seed》.

However, it was clear that he had underestimated the severity of the situation.

After a while, "The holly seed" that he had been hoping for finally appeared on the screen.

"It's your turn!" Seeing that, the Talking about the Old Man laughed, and handed over the bidding plate to him.

Lin Jin just accepted the bid number card. Auctioneer shouted from the stage: "Number 505, Song Engraved's《 The holly seed》, a total of six volumes. "The starting price is one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, no offers …"

Just as he finished his sentence, a voice came out from the hall, "Three hundred thousand!"

The entire audience suddenly buzzed with discussions. Lin Jin listened carefully and saw some words that sounded like "idiots" come from the crowd. It was obvious that they could not understand why the price was so high.

However, this was also a normal mental state. This kind of Auction, because the things they had in their hands were all black goods.

Furthermore, for the sake of maximizing the profit, merchants would normally bid far less fiercely than those collectors who really liked these things. Thus, up until now, this set of books was one of the highest bidders today among the hundred thousand yuan worth of items. Obviously, the owner of the voice who announced this number was determined to win the set of books.

In fact, the Auctioneer was just a decoration in this kind of Auction. After more than two hours of listless auctions. At this time, seeing that it was rare for someone to call out such a high price at once, Auctioneer felt a burst of excitement.

His tone rose by two notches, "56: 300 thousand. Is there anyone else higher …"

Lin Jin did not know that it was abnormal for someone in the Auction to call out such a high bid. Just as he was about to raise his hand, he heard a voice from his lower right corner: "Three hundred and ten thousand!"

"Number 84, 310 thousand. Number 84, 310 thousand. Absolute book of the Song Edition, do you have any higher books …"

Talking about the Old Man muttered from the side: "Did that brat Song Qian eat the wrong medicine today? The jade artifact dealer is actually bidding for ancient books. "

"Four hundred thousand!" At this moment, another voice sounded in the venue, shaking the entire venue.

Lin Jin was pondering about the words of the Talking about the Old Man, when he suddenly heard the voice of a zhenqi. He was shocked and looked towards the direction of the voice, only to see a short fatty placing his number plate down.

Lin Jin looked more carefully, and could vaguely see a bit of Spirit Qi flowing through his body.

"Taoist!" Lin Jin's eyes turned cold, and his heart immediately became nervous.

"Lin Jin, I think it's better for you to wait before calling out a price. While he was thinking, the Talking about the Old Man's confused voice came out.

At this time, the price of the《 holly seed》 continued to rise, but it had already increased from a large increase to twenty thousand and twenty thousand. Lin Jin watched the progress of the auction and was ready to bid at any time, so he asked the Talking about the Old Man: "What's wrong?"

The Talking about the Old Man was puzzled: "I know almost all the antique dealer here, and I didn't notice it at all. But looking at now, all the people bidding for this《 holly seed》 are actually all newbies that I haven't seen before. The only one I recognize is a merchant who specializes in selling antique jade artifacts.

Now that their bids are so competitive, you might as well observe them. Maybe they are the same as you, Taoist. I'll help you watch the auction and guarantee that this set of books will not fall into their hands. "

Hearing Talking about the Old Man's guess and hearing that the both of them made up, Lin Jin frowned. He handed the number plate over to Talking about the Old Man, narrowed his eyes, gathered his spirit, and looked around.

A while ago, he had discovered that after his consciousness had recovered from the Dragon's Roar, his willpower had unexpectedly, without a sound, ascended several floors of the building, far surpassing his level of zhenqi. Now, as long as he focused his attention.

Then, he could use the willpower to scan the surroundings. However, after using it, he would feel very tired and would have to meditate for a while to recover.

But now, his ability had come in handy.

After he gathered all his concentration, in an instant, his willpower enveloped the entire Auction. No matter voice or image, they were all enveloped within his will.

It had formed a complete three-dimensional space in his mind, and wherever he wanted to look, the effects and sounds would all appear in his mind.

However, the moment he enveloped the area, he immediately felt something unusual within the Auction. Not only was the sound coming from that direction, there were also fluctuations of the spirit energy of the Taoist coming from the other four directions.

Because he didn't know if they could feel his consciousness like Luo Mingdao. Afraid that they would notice, Lin Jin's willpower did not dare to get too close to them, so he could only watch them from a distance.

At this time, he was sure of who the Taoist was.

Other than the short fat guy from before and the three waves of spiritual energy on his left and back, there was a tall and slender young man in white casual clothes, who was also the owner of number 56.

Under the observation of Lin Jin, although the young man looked indifferent, the spiritual energy that he was emitting was far stronger than the other four Taoist s who were older than him. It was just a little less than the cultivation level of the Six Suns Land he had gotten from training the Qingyang Palace's nameless fist Technique and that of Lin Jin. Lin Jin could not help but be wary of him.

However, the competition within the auction house was not about the level of one's cultivation.

It was more about money. After a round of bidding, the price of the inner part of《 holly seed》 had already risen to an astonishing 1.3 million, which made the other antique dealer in the auction hall speechless.

However, by now, the two voices, including Song Qian's, had disappeared, leaving only the short fatty, the young man in white casual clothes, and the 40 year old middle-aged man on his left still bidding.

Lin Jin was thinking about whether or not he should kick the bucket now. From the left, right, and left sides of the hall, a burst of spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated. Immediately after, Lin Jin discovered that a wave of spiritual fluctuation that was similar to his current state of mind was being released from the left and right sides of the ship.

Lin Jin did not have time to defend himself. These two spiritual fluctuation s had actually pierced through the willpower that he had enveloped the entire venue, making him think that they had discovered his peeping, scaring him to the point where he almost broke out in cold sweat.

The khan had not even had the time to gush forth when the two spiritual fluctuation s seemed to have not noticed Lin Jin's willpower at all. They clashed in the air and formed a spiritual fluctuation that was three times stronger than the previous one, shooting towards the young man in casual white at an incredible speed.

Just as the young man was about to raise the price, he was met with the rush of spiritual fluctuation. Lin Jin immediately saw his head shake, and his eyes became confused.

"Awesome!" Lin Jin immediately guessed that this was the spirit attack the other two had taken to prevent the youngsters from obtaining the [holly seed s].

With a thought, the image of two middle-aged men with their eyes closed suddenly surfaced in his mind. Obviously, they were the two Taoist s who had given up bidding after attacking the young man with spiritual fluctuation.

"Number 86, one million four hundred thousand. Are there any more bids?" "Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" 1.4 million going once, 1.4 million going twice … "Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price …?"

After the forty year old middle aged man yelled out a bid of 1.4 million, he lost the competition of the young man. The short fatty also stopped raising his hand, and only the Auctioneer's voice that was filled with passion remained.

However, from the display of Lin Jin's willpower, the short fatty's face was filled with dejection. He did not seem to be in the same group as the forty-year-old middle-aged man, but instead, seemed to be unable to raise the price.

At this time, the forty-year-old middle-aged man had a smile on his face, obviously happy that he was about to get his hands on the inner part of "holly seed". He could not imagine it, except for the young man and the short fatty.

In the entire auction house, who else would spend such a huge amount of money to purchase an ancient book like him?

However, right at that moment, an old and vigorous voice filled him and his two companions with astonishment.

"2 million!"

Talking about the Old Man's voice sounded at the critical moment.

As he peeked at Lin Jin's willpower, he saw that Talking about the Old Man was smiling faintly, with a kind and kind look on his face. He knew that although Lin Jin didn't care too much about money, he was also a little stingy.

Talking about the Old Man was naturally very willing.

"Two million. Number 43 offered a high price of two million. Who else, who else …" Excited by Talking about the Old Man's loud shout, Auctioneer's hand that was holding the gavel instantly trembled.

In Auctioneer's heart, he thought that this《 holly seed s》 could at most be sold for two hundred thousand, but now it had been raised to an astronomical price of two million, how could he not be excited … … Now he looked.

The antique dealer who liked movies could not help but think of the alligator who would help their boss shout at the little police in < Martial Arts >.

Receiving such an unexpected provocation, the two Taoist s' mental force that were used to attack the young man trembled, and a sliver of relief appeared on their faces.

Taking advantage of this moment of relaxation, the young man suddenly pulled away, and his eyes immediately became clear. Suddenly, his face turned red, showing an extremely angry expression.

The next moment, the young man raised his hand: "2.1 million!"

Right after he finished speaking, Lin Jin immediately felt a strong wave of Spirit Qi flowing out from the point between the young man's eyebrows. The spirit energy was entangled with the two Taoist s.

At the same time, an angry and contemptuous voice sounded from Lin Jin's willpower: "Shameless! Using such a method to bid! All of you are even directors of Hengyang Dao Association in vain. I had long heard that you were poor, but I didn't expect you to be poor to such an extent! Even a few million yuan worth of trash would have to use such shameful methods.

"

In Lin Jin's mind, he saw the faces of the two Taoist s who were working with their eyes closed turn red.

After a while, another shrill yet slow voice called out: "Hehe! Gongzi Zhou, we are not like you.

He himself is the son of the president of Changsha Society, so what cultivation method does he not have? Why do he need to compete with us poor people for this set of Tao Book? Isn't this lowering my status! "

At this time, the Talking about the Old Man called out again, raising the bid to two million and three hundred thousand.

"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand!" The Gongzi Zhou hurriedly raised his hand and released another spiritual fluctuation. "Hmph! Although this set of < holly seed > is not a top tier Tao technique, but since it has appeared on my ground, how can I let you have it?

If it wasn't for my father, who happened to be visiting friends. Just the three of you wouldn't dare to enter this venue! "

"Of course.

Your father's cultivation is at the Tongxuan realm, so if he is here, then we brothers will naturally back off, but since he is not, then we will all depend on our own abilities. As long as we are able to bid on you, then I am afraid your father will not be able to take revenge on us with the presence of the Chinese Dao Association! "Haha!"

"Shameless scumbag, no wonder you guys are still at the same level after so many years of cultivation!" Even if I give you all this < holly seed >, I'm afraid you guys won't be able to cultivate anything. " Gongzi Zhou cursed and increased his mental attack.

The faces of the two Hengyang Society Taoist s immediately reddened when they received this pressure. However, the Gongzi Zhou had to deal with them while bidding. Although his cultivation was much higher than theirs, he still had to distract himself with both hands and couldn't do anything to them for a while.

Lin Jin was shocked when he heard their conversation. Only then did he realise that there were actually so many cultivators in Hu Shan, and they had all formed their own organizations.

It was just that from the level of their cultivation, they were at an unknown level, lower than the levels Wu Song and that Luo Mingdao had reached before.

He secretly shook his head. He guessed that it was because they were contaminated with too many worldly matters that their cultivations were so low.

Just as this thought had risen in his heart, at this moment, he suddenly remembered what Wu Song had said to him.

Moreover, this idea had just emerged in his mind and was becoming more and more intense, so strong that his heart of hearts was instantly raised to a higher level. Towards these Tao Book in the outside world, the amount of treasures they held gradually decreased, and only the thought of cultivating their own Dao existed in his mind …

Just as the three Taoist s were using their mental energy to fight and Lin Jin was peeping at the scene with his mind, the auction price for the inner part of《 holly seed s》 had already quietly risen to 3,050,000, causing the entire venue to be in an uproar because of the sudden high price.

For an ancient book that could only be sold for 300 thousand, it was simply unimaginable for its price to be so high.

However, when Talking about the Old Man raised his hand once again and raised the bid price to 3.8 million, the entire auction became quiet once again.

The forty-something year old middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat after hearing such a high price. He finally gave up on bidding – he did not have enough money!

But since he could not afford it, he would not let the Gongzi Zhou win. Fiercely thinking, the middle-aged man closed his eyes and released a mental wave, combining with his two brothers to deal with Gongzi Zhou.

The three of them were born from the same mother, so they had an abnormal reaction towards each other. Even when they were training in the same Tao technique, their mental strength would immediately double once again after the fusion, and after Gongzi Zhou forced out another bid, to the price of four million, they could no longer raise their prices, and could only use their full strength to resist the Three Brothers's combined attack.

In Lin Jin's mind, he could already see that the faces of the four of them were completely red.

At this time, the Talking about the Old Man was just about to shout out an even higher price, Lin Jin immediately retracted his thought and whispered a sentence into his ear.

Talking about the Old Man looked at him in confusion, hesitated for a moment, then raised his board and shouted: 4 million and 7,500!

Auctioneer looked at Gongzi Zhou on the stage, and then looked at the forty year old middle-aged man. Seeing their red faces, Auctioneer thought that they were fighting amongst themselves for a high price, and shouted out passionately ten times in his heart, only then did he know that no one was bidding for this set of Tao Book.

"4 million, 7,500 going once …" 4 million, 7,500 times... Is there anything else, 4 million, 7,500 times … Deal! Congratulations, old mister! "

"BOOM!" Only then did Auctioneer realize that she was sweating profusely.

Even the other antique dealer in the arena began to sweat profusely. They felt that this trip to the underground Auction was not in vain, at least, they had seen the most unbelievable scene they had ever seen.

Only the Talking about the Old Man remained smiling, and did not seem surprised.

No one noticed that the young man beside him had a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

Four million for a set of books, that's fucking expensive! Lin Jin cursed in his heart.
