Tyrant Sky Martial Soul-Chapter 2324 - 2327: Auction: Expensive Magma Elemental Jade
Ling Xiao, who had endured the painful fusion, had long since healed from his injuries.
Unfortunately, there was still no sign of the Battle Body advancing, and the Thunder Elemental Jade was completely used up.
The Magma Elemental Jade had been fused with thirty pieces of Magma Elemental Jade based on the Intermediate Magma Battle Body.
Similarly, it was depleted.
Ling Xiao stood up a bit helplessly, stretched his muscles, and recovered his body, which was somewhat sore from prolonged cultivation.
Next, he planned to make a trip to Eight Immortals County City to replenish supplies at Tianlong Trade Company.
The Thunder Elemental Jade and Magma Elemental Jade were both gone.
In addition, things that enhance the soul were also urgently needed.
Of course, refining the Thunder Spirit Pill and Lava Pill was also necessary.
The refinement of these two pills was not complicated, and their function was straightforward—to facilitate the absorption of Thunder Elemental Jade and Magma Elemental Jade, alleviating bodily pain.
This was also the fundamental reason why Ling Xiao’s limits seemed higher than most people’s.
After all, he was a formidable Alchemist.
His master was none other than the most renowned Yuan Venerate, the first Alchemist of the Immortal Court Continent.
Leaving Black Immortal Mountain, Ling Xiao headed straight to Eight Immortals County City.
He was already familiar with the route, so there would be no trouble.
However, just as Ling Xiao arrived at Eight Immortals County City, Sha Mo Yun from Eight Immortals Mountain received a report.
"Very good, I’ve been waiting for the day he leaves Eight Immortals Mountain, Ling Xiao ah Ling Xiao, today I will ensure you die outside forever.
Dare to compete with me for a woman, courting death!"
Sha Mo Yun had long opposed Ling Xiao due to the Sha Hai incident.
Later, he also lost a bet to Cheng Feiying, and the key to that bet was Ling Xiao.
Having lost the woman he always wanted, he naturally hated Ling Xiao to the core.
Moreover, from the life-and-death duel, he recognized Ling Xiao’s terrifying talent and future.
He had no intention of letting Ling Xiao continue to live.
Because he was afraid, afraid that Ling Xiao would surpass him.
When Ling Xiao stepped into Tianlong Trade Company and met Lin Fengyuan, Sha Mo Yun also left Eight Immortals Mountain.
With the ears and eyes of the Sha Clan, and the help from the Shaw and Zhou Clans, Ling Xiao’s whereabouts were practically at his fingertips.
"Ah, Young Master Ling, your visit is very timely; we are holding an auction at Tianlong Trade Company today. If you are interested, would you like to participate?"
Lin Fengyuan esteemed Ling Xiao highly.
This was not just due to relations with Lin Ruoxian and Lin Haoyu.
It was also because of the unyielding momentum displayed by Ling Xiao and his secret before reincarnation.
Although he wasn’t sure if this Ling Xiao was the same Ling Xiao of legend.
But what if he was?
Ordinarily a gambler, Lin Fengyuan couldn’t resist the chance of betting on the right horse.
Thus, he had already regarded this Ling Xiao as the former top genius of the White Tiger Continent.
"An auction, I haven’t attended one in a long time; I’d naturally love to."
Ling Xiao originally came to Tianlong Trade Company to buy supplies.
And at auctions, while items are generally costly, the chance of encountering rare treasures is very high indeed.
Since he was there, he wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Great, then I’ll arrange a good position for you to ensure your comfort."
Lin Fengyuan chuckled, leading Ling Xiao into the auction hall of Tianlong Trade Company.
This auction venue was constantly operating, holding weekly auctions, although large-scale ones like today were rare.
Unless a sudden influx of treasures appeared, Tianlong Trade Company wouldn’t usually conduct such an event.
Ling Xiao was settled into a very comfortable leather seat, in a private room no less.
This was undoubtedly the best choice for Ling Xiao, who didn’t often fancy public exposure.
Just after sitting down, the door to the private room opened, and Lin Ruoxian walked in unexpectedly.
"Did Lin Fengyuan notify you?"
Seeing Lin Ruoxian, Ling Xiao immediately thought of it.
Lin Ruoxian was likely worried about Ling Xiao’s safety, so she asked Lin Fengyuan to inform her once he headed to Eight Immortals County City.
This woman indeed cared deeply for him.
Lin Ruoxian did not speak, merely nodded, and looked out the window: "The auction has started, don’t mind me."
Almost all auction rules and opening procedures were the same.
Having grown accustomed to them, Ling Xiao was most interested in the items up for auction.
Tianlong Trade Company’s items were indeed extraordinary.
The starting price of the first few auctioned items was around 100,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones.
The final transaction prices all exceeded 1 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.
This was certainly not a place for the poor.
In Eight Immortals Mountain, a regular disciple of the Lower Baxian Mountain received only 10,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones as a monthly stipend.
It would take over a hundred months to afford such things.
However, martial artists often took on outside tasks, and Sect contribution points could also be exchanged for Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Generally, a Lower Baxian Mountain disciple possessed tens of thousands of Low-grade Spirit Stones.
Million-level amounts were exceedingly rare.
Over ten million was almost impossible, unless it was a pampered young master or young miss of a large family, or a disciple of the Upper Baxian Mountain.
In no time, ten items were auctioned off.
These were either martial skills, weapons, or pills, none of which Ling Xiao needed.
What he currently sought were soul items, Thunder Elemental Jade, Magma Elemental Jade, various materials!
Materials for array formation or alchemy, he needed them all.
Of course, if a suitable Beast Spirit appeared, he wouldn’t mind bidding for it.
Low-grade Spirit Stones, to him, were merely numbers.
This was an Alchemist’s benefit—refining pills was an immensely profitable business.
"Gentlemen, the next item on auction is a special Elemental Jade called Magma Elemental Jade.
There are one hundred pieces in total.
Each piece of Magma Elemental Jade is valued at 200,000 Low-grade Spirit Stones, making the starting bid 20 million Low-grade Spirit Stones.
The bidding will commence now, with increments not less than 1 million Low-grade Spirit Stones."
As the auctioneer’s voice resonated, the audience erupted into a flurry of discussion.
Ling Xiao also thought the Tianlong Trade Company was exploitative.
Even though valuing a Magma Elemental Jade at 200,000 Spirit Stones isn’t excessively high.
The problem is, 100 pieces would amass to 20 million, an amount almost no one here could afford.
Thus, the bidding quickly ground to a halt.
"Why not auction them separately? Most don’t need so many Magma Elemental Jades."
Someone suggested.
And this suggestion was rapidly echoed by others.
"I’m sorry everyone, the owner of these Magma Elemental Jades specified they must be sold together, not separately,"
The auctioneer stubbornly replied.
Many thought the owner was senseless, but there was no alternative, that was their requirement.
"Then your item is destined to go unsold,"
The speaker was unexpectedly Chi Ling’er from Red Immortal Mountain.
