Chapter 176 - 176 Auction

176 Auction

At six o’clock in the evening, Lin Sen finally received a call from Yang Wanqi.

She said, “The banquet will be held at the Miracle City Central Hotel at eight o’clock. Can you come with me?”

“Alright, I’ll definitely arrive then.” Lin Sen smiled and hung up.

Lin Sen wandered around the campus and arrived at the auction house.

This time, his luck was extremely good. As soon as he arrived, he met a mentor.

The mentor’s name was Qin Feng. He was a five-star Healing Warrior and a veteran Healing Mage.

Qin Feng glanced at Lin Sen and a gratified expression appeared on his face. He then took out a silver-white token and handed it to Lin Sen. “This is my token. Take it to collect the items from the auction. If you need help, follow the guidance on the token and head to the square in the center of Miracle City.”

Lin Sen took the token and bowed slightly. “Thank you.”

Qin Feng waved his hand. “It’s nothing. I’ll get going first.”

Lin Sen stood where he was and quietly waited for the auction to begin.

At 7:30 pm, the auction began.

Lin Sen followed Qin Feng to the center of the auction house.

There were many people gathered here. Other than Lin Sen, there were also experts from other factions.

The auction had yet to officially begin. The experts from all over the world exchanged pleasantries and chatted.

“Lin Sen, what took you so long? Hurry up and sit down.” Mentor Qin Feng chuckled. “Tell me what you want. As long as it’s something I can get, I’ll get it for you.”

Lin Sen sat down.

Not long after, the auction began.

Many big shots present took out their treasures and displayed them.

Lin Sen carefully observed the treasures on the stage and realized that this was indeed a good place to appraise treasures. As expected of one of the top auction houses in the entire Mo Capital.

Lin Sen’s gaze swept across the many auction items and he suddenly stopped watching.

This was because he noticed that there was actually what he wanted inside!

It was a medicinal herb, a fiery red plant with very lush leaves.

“Scarlet Flame Grass, it’s really Scarlet Flame Grass.” Lin Sen’s heart beat faster. This Scarlet Flame Grass could be refined into a ninth-grade medicinal pill, the Nine Flames Calamity Breaking Pill. Taking this pill could increase a martial artist’s cultivation by three levels. It was an incomparably precious thing!

To an ordinary Martial Apprentice, the Nine Flames Calamity Breaking Pill was definitely a treasure!

“The Nine Flames Calamity Breaking Pill is extremely important to me. As long as I have one that can be cultivated, I can replicate it infinitely and produce it myself,” Lin Sen thought to himself.

A moment later, Lin Sen raised his head and looked at the stage. “This herb… I’ll buy it!”

“Five hundred thousand.”

Hearing Lin Sen’s voice, the surrounding crowd immediately fell silent and turned to look at him.

“Who is it? He actually dared to bid for the Scarlet Flame Grass directly?”

“He actually offered 500,000 dollars right from the start?”

“Heh, young people are insensible, right? Although this Scarlet Flame Grass is valuable, it’s only a normal plant. The highest I estimate is not more than a million yuan.”

“You don’t know the immensity of the universe. You’re bidding such a high amount right from the start.”

Many people whispered among themselves. They thought that Lin Sen was completely crazy. He bid 500,000 dollars in one go. He simply didn’t take the money seriously.

Not far away, Mentor Qin Feng frowned and said in a low voice, “Young man, I advise you not to act rashly. This Scarlet Flame Grass is only worth more than 300,000 dollars at most. You’ll definitely suffer a loss if you spend 500,000 dollars to buy it.”

“I’m fine.” Lin Sen smiled faintly.

“Alright, in that case, it’s up to you.” Qin Feng could not be bothered to continue persuading him. After all, everyone had their own choices. Moreover, this was the auction house. The highest bidder would win!

The host of the auction announced the successful bid of the Scarlet Flame Grass.

The auction was still ongoing.

After a while, another item appeared.

“The next item for auction…” Qin Feng paused for a moment as if he was hesitating. After a moment, he said, “This item is modified from a secret manual. It’s a dagger called the Dragon Snake Blade!”

A dagger?

Everyone was in an uproar.

“I remember that something like this was auctioned at the last auction. It’s said that the dagger was left behind by a Class 4 swordmaster. Unfortunately… that dagger doesn’t suit me very well.”

“That’s still much better than some trash.”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

The auction house also struck while the iron was hot. “Alright, I shall cut the crap. The starting price is 100,000 gold coins, and each increment must not be less than 10,000 gold coins. The bidding begins now.”

“150,000.” An old man in a gray robe was the first to shout.

“One million.” Another burly man with bulging muscles snorted coldly and bid again.

“Two million.” Someone else joined in.

…

In just a few seconds, the bid reached 10 million gold coins.

Lin Sen did not feel anything about this weapon at all. With the enhancement of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, there was no need to spend a lot of money to buy such an expensive and meaningless weapon.

“100 million!”

Suddenly, someone stated an astronomical figure that shocked everyone. It was directly doubled!

Everyone present was stunned.

What kind of concept was this?

It was just a dagger, but it could actually reach 100 million?

Even the top treasure sabers were not worth this price.

Lin Sen looked at the Dragon Snake Blade.

This dagger emitted a strange light, like a dragon snake that was coiled up.

After such a bid was made, no one else joined in.

In the end, the Dragon Snake Blade was won by a masked man.

“Who is that guy? He’s too rich, isn’t it?”

“He’s probably the mysterious client circulating on the black market.”

“This Dragon Snake Blade is indeed powerful. Unfortunately, it’s useless to Epic-grade experts.”

“That’s right. An Epic-grade expert wouldn’t fancy such a thing.”

Everyone began to guess who this mysterious masked person was.

“Alright, next is the 19th item—Blood Soul Flower!” The auctioneer said loudly. He took out a blood-colored flower from his storage space. The stamen of the flower was bright and glistening, like fresh blood.

This Blood Soul Flower had an extremely miraculous effect. It could strengthen one’s bloodline, increase one’s cultivation speed, and even recover from injuries! It was an extremely rare treasure!

“100 million!”

“200 million!”

The price rose rapidly.

He frowned slightly.

Ordinary treasures were weak to Lin Sen, but this Blood Soul Flower was different!

Now that Lin Sen’s foundation had been solidified, the effect of this Blood Soul Flower was very obvious.

As long as Lin Sen devoured a Blood Soul Flower, his cultivation would soar!

Lin Sen took a deep breath. He knew that this Blood Soul Flower was very tempting to him, but unfortunately, the price was too high. Although he was considered a rich person now and had a net worth of more than a billion after selling a large number of materials at the auction house, it was not worth spending hundreds of millions on this medicinal herb alone.
