Chapter 190 Crisis
When Lin Mu heard this, a joyful expression immediately appeared on his face.
Number one on the list of rare treasures!
This was completely unexpected.
Although there are only about ten pieces of top-quality magic weapons in this auction, they are all of high quality.
Many wealthy people also come here for the best magic weapons.
Lin Mu never imagined that his Soul Returning Pill could outperform many top-grade magic weapons and take the lead.
Number one on the list of rare treasures!
This is more than just a ranking.
The treasures ranked first every time are all of the highest quality and of outstanding value.
The resulting fight was also the most brutal.
The first treasure, that is, the best treasure, who doesn’t want it?
Especially for those who have too many spiritual stones to spend, such treasures are their favorite.
Lin Mu still remembered the handsome appearance of the young man in white. He was the dominant figure in that auction and shocked the whole audience by snapping up several top-quality magic weapons.
In this case, the higher the treasure ranking, the higher the price will be raised.
Fengyuan Sword, which ranked first last time, was sold for a sky-high price of 180,000 yuan, a low-grade spiritual stone.
Even the third-ranked purple incense burner in Lin Mu's hand costs as much as one hundred six thousand yuan.
These 17,000 bottles of Gui Ling Dan, even if each bottle costs 20 low-grade spiritual stones, its real value is far more than that of Fengyuan Sword.
Ranked first, well deserved!
Lin Mu smiled and said humbly: "Thanks to the love of the three seniors, I can occupy the first place even though I have more than 10,000 bottles of Gui Ling Dan."
The white-bearded old man had a kind smile on his face: "Don't be so humble. The value of a bottle of Soul Returning Pill is indeed not high, but when accumulated in such quantities, it has changed from quantity to quality, and its value far exceeds that of many top-quality magic weapons. . Ranked first and well deserved.”
The other two master treasure appraisers also smiled and nodded from time to time.
The auction is approaching, but the auction house has not received a few valuable bids for treasures. It is obvious that it cannot attract a large number of cultivators just by relying on those few top-quality magic weapons.
Now that there are more than 10,000 bottles of Gui Ling Dan, they are of sufficient quantity and can solve their urgent needs. The three of them are naturally very happy.
"But..." The white-bearded old man suddenly changed the subject and looked at Lin Mu: "If these seventeen thousand bottles of Gui Ling Dan were put together for auction, their value would be too high. In my opinion, it is better to divide them into two parts. Separate auctions, one with 10,000 bottles and one with 7,000 bottles, may fetch a higher price.”
Lin Mu looked strange and asked, "Why is this?"
The white-bearded old man explained with a smile: "If we put them together for auction, the price is high, but it also prohibits many people. If we auction them separately, there will be more competitors, and some people will fight hard to get it. Even if they can't get it, they can still get it." Raising the price very high is much better than putting it up for auction.”
"Of course, this is just a suggestion from me." The white-bearded old man said with a smile: "It depends on your wishes. What do you think?"
Lin Mu pondered for a moment, but did not decide immediately, but asked: "These elixirs are divided into two parts. I wonder where they can be ranked on the list of rare treasures?"
Lin Mu was very concerned about this.
The ranking of an auction often determines the final price.
Many times, people come here to be first.
As for the second place, few people can remember it.
Even though the second place is not much worse than the first place.
This is human nature.
If these spirit-returning pills were separated and the ranking dropped drastically, in Lin Mu's opinion, the gain would outweigh the loss.
Instead, it would be better to auction them together and let the wealthy people fight to the death.
The white-bearded old man looked at Lin Mu with a smile, as if he could see what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "This seven thousand bottles can only be ranked second."
Lin Mu was stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, and a smile appeared on his face.
He had never thought before that if divided into two parts, he could still take the top two places.
The Guiling Pill was still ranked first, and Lin Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
Ranking first can attract many wealthy people to compete for it.
The more intense the competition, the more he earns.
Lin Mu looked at the old man and said with a smile on his face: "Since the senior said so, the junior naturally has no objections, so just do what the senior said."
The old man in white smiled and said: "That's very good. Within this month, the auction house will spare no effort to promote this batch of soul-returning pills. There will be many wealthy people coming by then. I hope you don't miss it."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "I'll definitely come on time."
The white-bearded old man smiled, took out two jade slips from his storage bag, recorded the two numbers of soul-returning elixirs on the jade slips, and left the mark of his spiritual consciousness on the two jade slips respectively. Then he handed the jade slip to the other two treasure appraisers beside him.
The two masters took the jade slips and did the same thing, leaving their own marks on the jade slips.
The production of two tokens is complete.
The white-bearded old man handed the two tokens to Lin Mu and told him: "You must keep these two tokens properly and never lose them. After the auction is successful, you can only use these two tokens to collect the proceeds from the auction." Without the token, even if you come in person, it will be useless."
Lin Mu naturally understood the importance of these two tokens, so he took them solemnly, checked them with his spiritual sense, confirmed them without any doubt, and then carefully put them into his storage bag.
After collecting the tokens, Lin Mu and the three old men bowed and left, taking the stones with them.
The two walked out of the auction house, and Shitou asked: "Master, do we have to wait here for a month?"
Lin Mu walked on, smiling, "It costs a lot of spirit stones to stay in Linwufang for one night, and it costs a lot for a month. Why don't we go to Misty Forest to have a look? You have never seen Misty Forest before, so I will take you to see it this time."
Shitou's face was happy, and his eyes became bright: "Okay."
The two of them walked out of Linwufang.
Outside Linwufang, there were people in groups of three or two.
Many people were preparing to go out to hunt monsters and were waiting for their companions to come.
Some people were alone and wanted to team up with others.
As soon as Lin Mu and Shitou walked out of Linwufang, two foundation-building cultivators came forward with a smile: "Do you two want to go hunting monsters? Why don't we team up?"
Lin Mu and Shitou couldn't help but stop. Lin Mu looked at the two people, who were only in the middle stage of foundation-building, and asked with a smile: "I have never hunted monsters, how can I team up?"
"After selling the proceeds from hunting monsters for spirit stones, we will share them equally among the four of us." A cultivator replied with a smile.
Lin Mu glanced at the two men, shook his head and said, "You should ask for help from someone else."
He gestured to Shitou, who followed him and they left quickly.
The two flew towards the misty forest. After they were far away from the two men, Shitou asked in confusion, "Master, why didn't you agree to their request? We are not familiar with this place, and their experience should be very helpful to us."
Lin Mu's face was calm, and he said indifferently, "You only think of the benefits, but not the disadvantages. We are not familiar with him. If the two of them are evil, they will lead us into a fire pit, or bring in their accomplices to besiege us and try to kill people and steal treasures. Wouldn't that just cause trouble? Even if the two of them are of good character, they are only in the middle stage of foundation building, and their strength is not at the same level as ours. The monster's gains are divided equally among the four people, which seems fair, but the two of us are both stronger than them, so why should we go hunting low-level monsters with them? "Shitou nodded suddenly, kept it in mind, and said: "Disciple was reckless and shouldn't trust others easily." Lin Mu smiled and said: "That's right. People who are familiar with each other will stab you in the back. Although this stranger is not a bad person, you still have to be careful and be cautious. It's always right to be careful. "The two flew all the way to the misty forest. On the way, someone approached them, but Lin Mu ignored them or sent them away with a few words. There was a vast white fog ahead, and the misty forest was in sight. Lin Mu smiled to Shitou: "This is the misty forest, let's go in." The two were about to go in, but at this time, several figures flew out of the misty forest. The figures were panicking, the sword light was flashing, and it was chaotic. Lin Mu's figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, looking at the few people, his face was shocked. The people who came were all covered in blood, and the light of their flying swords was dim, and they were in a panic.
When they saw Lin Mu, they were also shocked, and then they were happy, and they all stopped in the air.
Luo Yun wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, flew forward, and smiled palely: "Why are you here?"
Lin Mu hurriedly said: "I came to Linwufang to do something, and by the way, I took my apprentice to the misty forest. What happened to you?"
Luo Yun and the people around him all had different degrees of injuries. Luo Yun was better, just exhausted, not injured. The other few people were covered in blood, and they were also Lin Mu's fellow disciples. Lin Mu just looked familiar, but he couldn't call out their names.
Luo Yun had no time to say more, and said in a hurry: "Hundreds of our fellow disciples were hunting monsters in the forest, but accidentally ran into two groups of monsters fighting. We were all involved in the fight and are now in danger and unable to escape. Under the cover of others, a few of us broke out and came to ask for help." Lin Mu was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is there anyone familiar in Linwufang?" Luo Yun shook his head and said: "They are all in the misty forest. I will go to Linwufang to look for them. Even if I pay a high price, I will bring one as long as I can. The situation is urgent, I will talk about it in detail later." He was about to fly to Linwufang, and several foundation-building cultivators beside him flew forward like him. Lin Mu didn't have time to think about it and called Luo Yun: "You may not be able to find anyone if you go to Linwufang now. Why don't we rush to rescue people now? Maybe we can still make it."
Luo Yun glanced at Lin Mu and Shitou and said anxiously: "You two are only in the late stage of foundation building. It will be useless if you go. We must find a few spiritual solitude cultivators to help."
The Qingyun Sword under his feet flashed, and he was about to leave again.
Lin Mu sacrificed the Cloud-Stepping Boots and immediately caught up with him: "If you trust me, take me there immediately, and the situation may turn around. If you delay too much time and can't find anyone, I'm afraid you will regret it."
Luo Yun stopped, looked at Lin Mu and Shitou seriously, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Let's go!"
The Qingyun Sword flashed, he turned around and flew into the misty forest first.
The Cloud-Stepping Boots under Lin Mu's feet flashed, and he immediately followed from behind.
Shitou's Jinwu Sword was shining brightly, and his speed was not less than Lin Mu.
A group of six or seven people flew quickly into the forest.
