Chapter 81 Lin Mo’s Strategy
The ancient city appeared in front of Lin Mo and Miao Qing. It seemed to be slightly bigger than Qingyang City.
The moment Lin Mo stepped into the city, he felt an indescribable feeling. This was the city where the original owner had lived for more than ten years.
“Master, are we going to return to the Lin clan directly?”
Lin Mo’s eyes darkened as he recalled the scene of the original owner being banished. He sneered. “No. Previously, the Lin clan cast me out. Now, I want them to invite me back into the clan.”
Back when Lin Mo fell from the clouds, the clan did not give up on him. They had expended a lot of resources on him. However, they discovered that not only was Lin Mo unable to break through but his body had also deteriorated and he had become a complete waste.
Not only did those people led by the second elder wanted to expel him from the clan but they even wanted to strip him of his family name. If it was not for Lin Ya and the others pleading for him to stay, Lin Mo would not have been able to break through.
In the end, it was the clan head who came out to mediate and asked him to go to a remote branch family in Chuixin Village to take care of the auction house there.
This was the first time Miao Qing had heard Lin Mo mention these things, and he could not help but reveal a surprised expression. He had never thought that Lin Mo had such a past, and he could not believe what he had experienced to be able to grow to this day.
“I didn’t expect Master to have such a past.”
From the peak of fifth stage of Body Refining to the current dragon transformation realm, Lin Mo’s strength could be said to have soared. Miao Qing had many doubts in his heart, but he tactfully did not probe further.
Lin Mo had many deep secrets. Otherwise, how could he destroy the entire Miao clan by himself?
“Then, what does Master need me to do?”
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, “Go and see if there are any shops nearby that need to be sold. I want to hold an auction here.”
Although he did not know what Lin Mo wanted to do, Miao Qing still did as he was told. He was very efficient and immediately found a shop for Lin Mo. Furthermore, the location was not bad. After taking a short rest and putting up a sign, he would be able to open for business again.
“Go out and find a few people to spread the news. Tell them that the auction house is about to open and that a large number of fourth and fifth-level pills and spiritual artifacts will be auctioned. Furthermore, the prices are extremely affordable.”
After destroying the Miao clan previously, Lin Mo had conveniently inherited all of the assets of the Miao clan. Although a portion of the resources was lost in the self-destruction of Miao Jian and the others, the remaining portion was still very sizeable.
The resources were all ready, so Lin Mo could only wait for the customers to come knocking on his door.
“Have you heard? There’s a new auction house. As it’s just opened for business, all fourth and fifth-level treasures will be auctioned at low prices.”
“Is it true? Fourth and fifth-level treasures aren’t ordinary items. If they’re auctioned at low prices, wouldn’t they incur losses?”
“Who knows? I’ve heard about it from others anyway. Since I have nothing to do, I might as well go take a look. Who knows, I might really be able to find something good.”
Soon, someone appeared at the entrance.
As this shop was not an auction house, Lin Mo did not really renovate it. There was only an ordinary plaque hanging outside, so it did not seem like it was an auction house.
“Eh, is this an auction house? It doesn’t seem like it.”
“I heard that this shop used to be in the medicinal herbs business. How did it suddenly become an auction house? Could it be a mistake?”
Everyone walked in doubtfully. It was extremely spacious. They looked around and saw that the decorations were very simple. Even the stage in the middle was built temporarily and did not seem sturdy.
Lin Mo had been waiting for them for a long time. Seeing that those people were showing signs of wanting to leave, he instructed Miao Qing who was behind him, “Follow what I’ve taught you before. You should go and preside.”
Miao Qing stammered, “I… I’ll be the host?”
“Would it be me instead?”
“But I don’t know how to do it. I’ve never done it before.”
Lin Mo said disapprovingly, “Even if you’ve never eaten pork, at least you’ve seen pigs run.”
Meeting his deep gaze, Miao Qing could only brace himself and walk forward. Clearing his throat, he said as a matter of routine, “Welcome, everyone.”
“Do you really have fourth and fifth-level treasures here?”
In the face of everyone’s doubts, Miao Qing did not beat around the bush. Without hesitation, he said, “I now announce the first item up for auction, the low fourth-level weapon meteor hammer. The starting bid is 800 spirit stones!”
A pair of iron hammers appeared out of thin air in his hands. The cold light was as sharp as a shooting star, and the aura it emitted was genuine.
The crowd, who had originally just wanted to watch the show, widened their eyes at this moment.
Although this shop looked somewhat shoddy, and the auctioneer in front of them was also a newbie, none of this was important.
What was important was that the items they brought out for auction were genuine! Moreover, they were so cheap!
This kind of low fourth-level weapon was worth at least five thousand spirit stones in an ordinary auction house in the city. However, it was only less than one thousand spirit stones in this place!
Many people thought that they were hearing things, so they could not help but ask again, “How many spirit stones did you say just now?”
Miao Qing said expressionlessly, “800 spirit stones!”
“I’ll bid 1,000 spirit stones!”
“1,500 spirit stones!” “2,000 spirit stones!”
The crowd shouted their bids like crazy. In the end, the meteor hammer was sold for 3,000 spirit stones. Even so, it was still several times cheaper than other auction houses!
Miao Qing did not make too much of a fuss. After the meteor hammer was auctioned off, he immediately took out the second item.
“Mid fourth-level spirit recovery pill. The starting price is 1,000 spirit stones.”
A medicinal fragrance drifted in the surroundings. This kind of pill was worth at least several thousand spirit stones. The current price could be said to be filthy cheap.
Everyone’s mood was unprecedentedly high.
