The attendant Elder dropped the pig trotters and chuckled, “If we suffer a loss, we’ll just get even later.”
“I wonder what Li Mo is here for at the auction...”
Qiao Ziyu touched the sumaru object in his embrace.
Inside were eight hundred xuan crystals, accumulated by the Sect over many years.
“Young Sect Master, look.”
The attendant Elder flipped his hand and took out a translucent glass bottle from his embrace, which contained a Gu worm.
“When did you get a Food Essence Worm?”
This was a peculiar Gu worm, completely harmless, yet impossible to guard against.
It could sense emotions and would change color according to the intensity of the emotion, similar to sea silk, and was also fed with high-grade sea silk.
“With this, we’ll know what Li Mo truly desires,” the attendant Elder said with a smile.
“Good! With this, we can drive up the price of whatever he is determined to get! The grudge of those two hundred xuan crystals will be avenged today!”
...“What was the first auction item again?”
Li Mo also entered the venue and sat in the first row with Elder Qian.
The place was packed with people, probably no less than six or seven thousand. In fact, many more people were interested in the auction, but only a few met the threshold.
After everyone entered, they received a small jade-colored Cards, and if they saw something they liked, they could raise it to bid. freewebnσvel.cѳm
“Welcome, everyone, to the East Pearl Tower auction. This year, many ruins have been discovered underwater, containing numerous rare treasures that are sure to satisfy you all.”
The one on stage was Lan Tian, wearing a light-green sea silk dress with her blue hair tied into a bun.
“Doesn’t this girl usually dislike showing her face in crowded places?” Qian Bufan was a bit puzzled.
This Mermaid Princess was not very bold; she used to get extremely nervous even when hosting the ‘Gold Mountain Subsidy’.
“At first, I also thought she was afraid of crowds, but later I found out that wasn’t the case.”
Li Mo shook his head and said helplessly, “She... actually has trypophobia, especially when she sees dense crowds of people.”
Qian Bufan: “?”
What kind of illness is that?
Although he hadn’t heard of it, it wasn’t difficult to understand... “Then how did you cure her?”
“Oh, I showed her my sumaru object.”
“Would that work?”
“It was densely packed with gold.”
“...A miraculous cure, Xiao Mo.”
Qian Bufan looked at Lan Tian, who was much more confident on stage, and suddenly felt that this treatment method was indeed exceptionally reasonable.
“The first item up for auction is a fish pearl from a Fifth Realm Deep Sea Mastiff Fish. Worn on the body, it benefits Body Refining and is a Saint Grade item for cultivating Body Refining. It can also be crushed to greatly enhance the Physical Body for a short period!”
“Starting bid: eight xuan crystals.”
Lan Tian unveiled the red cloth and then introduced it seriously.
This item attracted the attention of many people.
Everyone hoped their Physique would be stronger, but Body Refining was one of the most grueling types of martial arts. Even if this item was not cheap, it still moved many hearts.
“How about it, does he want this item?” Qiao Ziyu sat at the end of the first row and turned to ask the person beside him.
“The Food Essence Worm hasn’t changed color...” The attendant Elder was also a bit puzzled. He heard that Li Mo had a strong Physical Body and specialized in Physique, right?
But the Food Essence Worm was still white, indicating that Li Mo was completely uninterested in it... “Li Shaoxia makes the first bid! Eight xuan crystals.”
At this moment, Lan Tian’s voice came from above again.
“If he’s not interested, why is he bidding?”
Qiao Ziyu and the Elder were both confused. Could there be something wrong with the Food Essence Worm?
Although he didn’t know why, since Li Mo wanted it, he wasn’t going to let him get it so easily.
“Young Sect Master of Lingxi Gate, bids nine!”
“Li Shaoxia bids...”
“Young Lord of Lingxi Gate bids...”
At first, many people participated, but gradually only two people were bidding.
The last time, Li Mo thought about it and gave up.
This item was indeed completely useless to him; his Physique no longer needed it. He was only buying it to put it in the Qingyuan Sect’s warehouse.
“That Qiao Ziyu seems to be deliberately raising the price against us?” Qian Bufan said.
“Don’t mind him.” Li Mo had expected this.
“Hmph, one point back.” Qiao Ziyu felt a sense of relief.
“Young Lord, this thing is worth at most fifteen xuan crystals, but you just... spent thirty!” The attendant Elder sighed, “It’s better not to be impulsive. Wait until you encounter something he’s truly determined to get before making a move.”
Qiao Ziyu’s just-curled lips stiffened, and he could only nod.
“The second auction item is a pair of Ruyi Jade Locks.”
There were two jade locks, which could be joined together or separated, appearing as Yin and Yang fish, with flowing radiance.
Then Lan Tian introduced them: “This pair of jade locks are ancient treasures from the ruins. The Yang Jade can strengthen the Physical Body and improve Physique, while the Yin Jade can absorb the Origin Qi of heaven and earth, accelerating cultivation progress. The two cannot be used together, but both are rare treasures.”
“Starting bid: ten xuan crystals.”
The Food Essence Worm was still white.
But Li Mo still bid this time, finally acquiring it for twelve xuan crystals.
Soon, the third and fourth items were presented.
Most of the items presented earlier were weapons, Secret Manuals, and rare treasures, none of which Li Mo was very interested in.
Qiao Ziyu also stopped raising the price against him, so he just bought them casually.
Not just Qiao Ziyu, but everyone else was stunned. Why was Li Shaoxia buying every item?
Most people who come to auctions probably have clear goals, as their budget is limited... What kind of family does Li Mo have? He buys everything he sees?
Doesn’t he fear running out of budget and then not being able to get what he truly wants?
“What is he actually interested in?” Qiao Ziyu was completely baffled.
Just then, the attendant Elder beside him suddenly whispered, “The Food Essence Worm has changed color!”
Indeed, that thumb-thick white Gu worm was rapidly turning green, then blue, then purple, and finally red!
It was so red it looked like it was about to explode.
This indicated that Li Mo’s current desire had reached its Peak!
“What is it that makes him so excited?” Qiao Ziyu quickly looked towards the stage.
Lan Tian happened to be introducing it at this point: “Three-thousand-year-old sea silk, which has already developed spirituality. It’s absolutely unique, only one piece. Starting bid: three xuan crystals.”
It wasn’t expensive.
In fact, most people present weren’t interested, as this item was only valuable for its rarity, but its actual use was not great. freёweɓnovel.com
He looked at the Gu worm, which was red to the point of exploding.
“?” A question mark appeared above Qiao Ziyu’s head.
What the hell was Li Mo doing wanting this thing so badly?
