Chapter Eighty-two: Spending Money Like Dirt
"Xia brother, it's about to begin." Lin Tianxiang said from the side.
"En." Xia Lin regained her composure and shifted her gaze to
The city of Linjiang was ablaze with an unprecedented fiery red, and the streets were also filled with people coming and going, unending. The people from all the major families in Linjiang City had all come out, entering the Sanjiang Pavilion, waiting for the final beginning.
This is a spacious living room, with a transparent glass-like table in the middle of the stage, and the surrounding seats are filled with dense crowds. Each person can receive a number card for easy calling. As for other things, since most people here have status, they are quite particular about it.
Xia Lin and Lin Tianxiang could only sit in the outermost layer, after all, there were many people with identities, and the Lin family was just a small merchant. And the young master sitting in the front row, wasn't he the young master of the Jiang family?
Xia Lin carefully observed, soon, an old man walked in, but the aura surrounding him made his heart skip a beat, Cong Hai Jing!
As the old man slowly walked to the center of the stage, Xia Lin was even more shocked. He had originally thought that this was a senior who was presiding over the event, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be the person in charge of selling things. This Sanjiang Pavilion has a big handwriting style.
"Lin brother, what kind of strength does a person who is generally responsible for selling things have?" Xia Lin asked secretly.
"Cyclone, sometimes when it's strong, it's the cyclone peak, very powerful." Lin Tianxiang exclaimed, with his mother's physical condition and strength, he naturally couldn't detect that the old man was actually in the Condensed Sea Realm.
"It's interesting... it seems that this time the things being sold are indeed extraordinary." Xia Lin smiled slightly, committing these things to memory.
"Alright, everyone. You are all people of status and prestige, and time is precious, so I won't waste any more words." The old man said calmly, then took the first item from his subordinate: "The first item, a top-grade attack mystic treasure, the Blazing Flame Knife."
"Whoosh——"
Everyone gasped in shock, "It's actually a top-grade Xuan treasure! And it's a weapon!"
Even Xia Lin was secretly surprised, because so far, he had only seen some unranked fragments of Xuanbao, let alone a first-class Xuanbao. This Liyan Knife was an even more precious item among the top-grade Xuanbao. For someone in the same Qi Xuan realm, having such a Xuanbao in hand would be a world of difference.
"Wow, this kind of thing is usually the last one, how did it come out first today?" Lin Tianxiang said with some surprise and uncertainty.
Xia Lin continued to watch and soon someone made a bid to buy it.
"Two hundred taels!"
"Five hundred taels!"
"I'll give eight hundred taels!"
"One thousand two!"
Soon, this Flame Blade was taken away at a high price of 1,000 taels. Xia Lin's eyebrows furrowed, "This one thousand taels..."
Lin Tianxiang smiled wryly and said, "Of course it's gold."
Xia Lin took a deep breath of cold air. If this were the previous life, someone would spend tens of millions to buy a single weapon, and they would probably be considered crazy by others.
However, this Xuanbao is indeed a rare object.
If this was just the beginning, soon Xia Lin would experience what it meant to be shocked and pampered.
A second-rate martial arts manual was taken away for two thousand taels of silver.
A top-grade defensive treasure was taken away by three thousand taels of gold.
What shocked Xia Lin even more was a Xuanlingcao! It was taken away by someone at the price of 3,000 taels of gold, which shocked him and also made his heart ache. He and Yuelian used six of them all at once.
"What's next is actually even more precious, it was originally supposed to be kept at the bottom of the box, but you might not need it, so I'll take it out first." The old man said, taking out a purple thing from the box, with a bit of sparkle and shining very brightly.
"One purple spiritual pattern - Divine Stone Diagram, this is a heavenly master with the highest ability, engraving the divine stone diagram on the pattern, after cultivating through this object, can improve about six levels of spiritual power, minimum price one thousand two."
The old man finished speaking, and there was a silence below, apparently no one really needed this thing. Where did the cultivators of Linjiang City come from? Even if they were, they must have prepared a series of resources long ago, and would not need these things at all.
After a moment, still no one responded, the old man shook his head and prepared to gather up.
"A thousand two." Xia Lin said lightly, causing Lin Tianxiang to be taken aback. What did he want that thing for?
"Good." The old man's eyes lit up, and he sent someone over to make the transaction. After Xia Lin handed over 1,000 taels, he took the token in his hand, turned around, and exchanged a smile with Lu'er.
"Xia brother, what are you buying this for?" Lin Tianxiang asked in puzzlement.
"Just seeing someone off, no need to think too much."
"Oh." Lin Tianxiang nodded.
"The following is also a nianzhe's item." The old man took out a pale manual and said, "First-class defensive nian technique - Wave Light Splash, minimum price two thousand taels."
Summer arrived in an instant, defensive intent technique!
He himself can't use it, but Green now has a knack for every technique that won't work if he doesn't have this thing, and in the future, going out will be safer.
No one spoke up, and the old man simply shifted his gaze to Xia Lin.
"Two thousand two."
The transaction was completed quickly, and the equipment was in hand! This move finally caught everyone's attention. If the first one wasn't anything special, then two consecutive Nen users' equipment... Could it be that this guy isn't a Nen user after all?!
For a time, many people were moved by this.
At this time, Xia Lin didn't think so much, because Yu Lian quietly walked over and asked in his ear: "You're very rich, how many taels of gold have you prepared?"
"Twenty-two thousand two." Xia Lin smiled with a curled lip.
Yu Lian was shocked and said incredulously: "You really moved away all the accumulation of a hundred years on our Yin Yang Mountain?"
Xia Lin said solemnly: "How is it possible! I only took eighty percent!"
"Eight out of ten... Hmph!" Yu Lian coldly snorted, and stopped talking. No wonder this guy was so extravagant today. But she wasn't in a good mood at the moment. Who would be happy knowing that a man spent his own money to buy things for another woman?
Next, Xia Lin didn't make a move, watching as the old man took out one item after another.
Can't help but say, the things from Sanjiang Pavilion are really of extremely high quality! Especially... many things almost moved Xia Lin's heart, such as a second-rate martial skill and a second-rate attack mystic treasure! If not for the fact that the mystic treasure needs to be activated through mystic energy, Xia Lin would have probably snatched it up directly.
In this way, this mysterious treasure was sold at an astonishingly high price of 6,000 taels!
And then a second-rate defensive Xuanbao came out and was sold for as high as 8,000 taels!
Lin Tianxiang was already shocked: "Normally, the most I've seen at one time is three thousand taels, but tonight, eight thousand taels have come out!"
No wonder he was shocked, when they first created the golden figurine, the gold used almost exhausted half of the Lin family's resources, and now, transactions in tens of thousands of taels made him feel numb.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next is a martial skill." The old man said here, pausing slightly, "A second-grade superior defensive martial skill!"
"What?!"
"Is this really top quality?!"
"It's actually a high-level martial skill."
In an instant, everyone was on the edge of their seats. A second-grade martial skill was a symbol of the Condensed Sea Realm, and many talented martial artists could master second-grade martial skills at the first grade, surpassing others. However, these were only lower-level second-grade martial skills.
Only two top-notch, only extremely high-comprehension geniuses and strongmen in the Condensed Sea Realm can grasp it, let alone the preciousness of defensive martial skills. This is no longer just a competition among the Cyclone Realm's strongmen, but also a competition among some of the Condensed Sea Realm's strongmen.
"Two-tiered martial skills, Iron Net Golden Body! There are seven layers in total. Each time you cultivate a layer, your defensive strength will increase greatly. After cultivating all seven layers, even if you're at the Qi Xuan boundary, you can withstand a single blow from someone at the Ning Hai boundary with just your physical body. And for those who have reached the peak of the Ning Hai boundary, after achieving great completion, they can charge forward without fear, unafraid of opponents below the second-tiered Mystic Treasure!"
The old man spoke slowly, each sentence filled with endless temptation, but many people slowed down at this time because some had already heard what was being said. The old man's words seemed fine on the surface, but upon closer thought, they didn't quite add up. Who could cultivate a second-grade martial skill? Bringing back the vortex realm, without mentioning whether it can be cultivated or when it can be successfully cultivated, even if it is practiced, it would only be able to withstand one blow from the condensing sea realm. By that time, wouldn't they have already broken through the condensing sea realm? What a waste of time.
The words afterwards are somewhat reliable, and after cultivating the Condensed Sea Realm, they still have some effect.
"Five thousand taels!"
"Six thousand taels!"
"Seven thousand taels!"
Everyone raised their prices without hesitation, and Xia Lin carefully observed that the main focus was on the confrontation between two Condensed Sea Realm cultivators. The others didn't intervene at all. The two people speaking were one of the Jiang family's elders and another person from an unknown family, and they argued fiercely.
"Ten thousand two hundred taels! I don't believe your family can come up with that much money!" The Jiang family elder casually mentioned ten thousand taels, leaving the other party speechless for a moment. Adding five thousand taels in one go made him hesitate for half a day, wondering if it was worth it. In the end, looking at the Jiang family elder's nonchalant expression, he shook his head and didn't add any more.
At this time, the Jiang family elder also let out a sigh of relief. Ten thousand taels was not a small sum, and this time the Three Rivers Pavilion had sold several items to the Jiang family. It wasn't easy to throw away another ten or twenty thousand taels. Being able to buy it so easily could be considered a gain. However, before he could even feel happy about it, another voice came over.
"13,000 taels!"
He turned back in anger and was shocked to find that the speaker was actually the young man who had just bought the stuff.
Xia Lin looked at the Jiang family elder's appearance, but he was not in the least bit concerned. His eyes were firmly fixed on this second-grade martial skill! A defensive martial skill, rarely seen and very precious, it was also his first time encountering a defensive martial skill, and it was such a precious one. Moreover, he faintly felt that this kind of martial skill was actually the most suitable for his cultivation.
Must get it in hand!
