Chapter 189: First on the Rare Treasure List
The two left Huichun Pavilion and walked into the crowded streets.
Shitou looked at the crowds, not knowing where to go.
Five kinds of pill recipes require 150,000 low-grade spirit stones.
The two only have 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, which is far from enough to pay for the pill recipes.
Do they really have to set up a stall? Shitou thought.
Although he was curious about the people who set up stalls, he didn't know where to start.
If he really set up a stall, how long would it take to sell 17,000 bottles of Guiling Pills?
Shitou turned around and looked at Lin Mu, and asked, "How should we deal with so many Guiling Pills?"
Lin Mu had already made up his mind, looking at the cultivators passing by, squinting his eyes and said, "Auction!"
"Auction?" Shitou was puzzled.
Lin Mu turned to Shitou and smiled, "It's an auction. The owner of Huichun Pavilion is too hard on the price, 20 low-grade spirit stones per bottle. If I really sell it to him, I will lose more than 80,000 low-grade spirit stones. We worked hard to refine the pills, and he took all the bargains. This deal is not worth it." Shitou also smiled and said, "I think it's too bad, so why don't we set up a stall?" Lin Mu smiled and said, "I said set up a stall just to perfunctorily deal with Hengchun. If I set up a stall with so many bottles of Guiling Pills, I don't know when I can sell them all. There are many wealthy people at the auction, spending a lot of money, and these Guiling Pills are auctioned. Sell it, and it will be sold quickly. "
Shitou was surprised and said, "Are others really that rich?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Don't underestimate those people from the big sects. We only have a third-grade cave paradise, but we can refine so many Guiling Pills. The cave paradises of those big sects are of higher grade, and their annual income is not cheap. Although the disciples of the sect also spend a lot of resources to practice, after building the foundation, they can come to the Misty Forest to hunt monsters, and their income is many times higher than ours. I don't know if the latest auction has started, let's go and see."
Lin Mu immediately walked forward, and Shitou hurriedly followed from behind.
The two crossed several streets, and a group of palaces appeared in front of them.
It was the auction house!
The auction hall was majestic and magnificent.
Many side halls next to it were also exquisite and gorgeous, and cost a lot of money.
Lin Mu had experience, and took Shitou with him, and went straight to the side hall.
There were people in groups of three or two in the side hall, looking at the list, and exclaiming from time to time.
A young man in blue sat in front of the stage in the hall, with a warm smile on his face, talking to everyone who came forward to ask questions in a gentle voice.
When Lin Mu saw this young man in blue, he smiled when he saw how humble and polite he was.
A few years ago, Lin Mu came here to buy the Rare Treasures List, and it was this young man in blue who received him.
At that time, Lin Mu was only in the early stage of foundation building, and the young man in blue was arrogant and insolent. After seeing Lin Mu's wealth, he regretted it and apologized.
Now many years have passed, and Lin Mu saw him again, but he could no longer see the arrogance.
If it weren't for Lin Mu's deep memory, he really couldn't believe that this smiling man who spoke to people in a soft voice was the arrogant young man in blue a few years ago.
Lin Mu smiled and walked forward: "Give me a copy of the latest issue of the Rare Treasures List."
The young man in blue was selling the Rare Treasures List and talking to people with a smile on his face.
Hearing that someone else wanted the Rare Treasures List, he lowered his head, picked up another jade slip, and handed it over with a smile.
But his hand suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his face froze.
This voice seemed a little familiar!
A person's face quickly flashed through his mind.
He raised his head quickly.
The person in front of him was the person from that year!
The blue-clothed youth's face froze for a moment, then he reacted, and hurriedly handed over the jade slip, smiling sincerely: "The latest issue, thirty low-grade spirit stones."
Lin Mu smiled and said: "Isn't it fifty?"
The blue-clothed youth blushed, and hurriedly said apologetically: "Back then, I was ignorant, arrogant, and looked down on everything. If it weren't for the senior's generosity and not caring about me, I'm afraid I would have lost this easy job long ago. Like those ordinary cultivators, I can only go to the misty forest to hunt monsters, fight bloody battles, and my life and death are unpredictable. I am very grateful to see you again today, senior, please accept my greetings." He bowed deeply.
Lin Mu smiled, gently lifted him up with his spiritual power, and said with a smile: "You are not a bad person by nature, and you can correct your mistakes. This is the greatest virtue. All this is up to you, and has nothing to do with me. If you don't correct yourself, and still do your own thing and be arrogant, if I don't punish you, someone else will. Now you have a good life, all thanks to your own understanding."
Lin Mu took the jade slip and immediately handed over thirty low-grade spiritual stones.
The young man in blue waved his hand and refused: "I am grateful and have always wanted to thank you, but I have never had the chance. This list is a gift from me, and it also fulfills my wish."
Lin Mu insisted on handing over the spirit stone: "One thing is one thing. You work for others, how can you thank them with other people's things."
The young man in blue was quick-witted and immediately took out thirty low-grade spirit stones from the storage bag and put them on the counter: "Senior, you are right, I have learned my lesson." He then looked at Lin Mu, pointed at the spirit stones on the counter, and smiled: "These are my own spirit stones, and have nothing to do with the auction house. Don't refuse now, senior."
Lin Mu smiled, looked at the sincere smile of the young man in blue, nodded secretly, and took back the spirit stone.
The young man in blue was delighted to see Lin Mu taking back the spirit stone.
Lin Mu immediately picked up the jade slip, inputted spiritual power into it, and began to check the rare treasure list.
After a cup of tea, Lin Mu put down the jade slip and handed it to the stone beside him.
The stone didn't know what the rare treasure list was, and was curious, so he hurriedly inputted spiritual power into it and checked it carefully.
Lin Mu's face was calm. This was the fifth rare treasure list. There was still one month before the auction.
The treasures collected in this auction were not many. The auction was getting closer, and there were only more than 50 treasures on the rare treasure list so far.
The top-grade magic tools were not as many as the last time Lin Mu participated in the auction, only about ten.
Lin Mu was worried for a while. Without the best treasures, he could not attract wealthy cultivators.
Not knowing if anyone would come to buy his Guiling Pills, Lin Mu raised his head and asked the young man in blue with a smile: "I have some Guiling Pills here that I want to auction, is it okay?"
Guiling Pills? A bottle of Guiling Pills for more than 20 low-grade spirit stones?
That's too cheap!
If the young man in blue didn't know Lin Mu's wealth, he would have looked down on it.
But he had already experienced Lin Mu's power. At the beginning, he spent 6,000 "Fire Bomb Talismans", 1,000 "Explosive Flame Talismans", five high-grade magic tools, and one top-grade magic tool. His wealth was extremely rich.
So when Lin Mu said this, he was just stunned, and then reacted: "I wonder how many bottles of Guiling Pills you have?"
This is the point! The young man in blue secretly said to himself.
Lin Mu had a warm smile on his face: "Seventeen thousand bottles."
The young man in blue scratched his ears and asked again: "How many?"
"Seventeen thousand bottles." Lin Mu answered truthfully again.
Seventeen thousand bottles!
Even though the young man in blue was prepared, he was still shocked and almost fell to the ground.
He stood up and said, "This can definitely be auctioned and can definitely be on the rare treasure list. But the specific ranking needs to be determined after the three treasure appraisers have appraised it."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble you."
The young man in blue smiled and said, "Senior, what are you talking about? Just follow me and I'll take you to see the treasure appraiser."
He immediately led the way and walked to the back hall.
Lin Mu nodded to Shi Tou, and the two followed the young man in blue to the back hall.
There were nine winding corridors, pavilions, palaces, carved beams and painted buildings all along the way.
Shi Tou looked around from time to time, with a curious face.
Along the way, from time to time, the divine consciousness swept over the three people, and when they saw the young man in blue leading the way, they immediately disappeared.
The waves of divine consciousness pressure made Shi Tou feel depressed.
These people were all in the late stage of spiritual silence, far beyond his reach.
Lin Mu, however, had a calm expression, seemingly unaffected by anything.
After he broke through to the late stage of foundation building, his spiritual consciousness also grew a lot, and now his spiritual consciousness cultivation was no less than that of ordinary late stage spiritual silence cultivators.
This little bit of exploration of spiritual consciousness could not affect him at all.
The blue-clothed youth brought two people and stopped in front of an ancient attic.
In front of the attic, there was a row of spiritual silence cultivators, patrolling from time to time, with strict defense.
The blue-clothed youth stepped forward to report, and a group of guarding cultivators made way and let the three people in.
The blue-clothed youth hurriedly led Lin Mu and Shitou to the attic.
The three masters in the attic were resting with their eyes closed. When they saw Lin Mu and the other two coming in, they all opened their eyes, with a gleam of light in their eyes.
The blue-clothed youth hurriedly stepped forward to salute, whispered a few words in the ears of the three old men, and then withdrew.
The three treasure appraisers all came to Lin Mu, all with surprise in their eyes.
They knew this man!
He alone had four treasures on the rare treasure list, which left a deep impression on the three.
The white-bearded old man in the middle asked Lin Mu with a smile: "Are you really going to auction 17,000 bottles of Guiling Pills?"
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Absolutely true." He immediately took out a few bottles of Guiling Pills and handed them over.
The three treasure appraisers opened the bottle stoppers, put them to the tip of their noses and smelled them gently, then poured out two Guiling Pills in the palm of their hands and examined them carefully.
All three of them were happy, and the white-bearded old man said: "This Guiling Pill is of good quality and is the favorite of foundation-building cultivators. Do you really have 17,000 bottles?"
Although Guiling Pills are not too expensive, they also cost more than 20 low-grade spirit stones per bottle. 17,000 bottles of Guiling Pills, how many spirit stones would it take to sell, the three of them all knew.
No matter how many are auctioned, the auction house will take 10% of the income.
The higher the value of the treasure, the more money the auction house will make, and the more commission they can get.
The three people were both happy and suspicious about what the blue-clothed young man said, and they all looked at Lin Mu to see what he would say.
Lin Mu looked at the three people and smiled, "It is indeed 17,000 bottles!"
He then took out an ownerless storage bag and handed it to the white-bearded old man.
All the Guiling Pills were in this storage bag.
The white-bearded old man hurriedly used his spiritual sense to check and count them, and it was indeed 17,000 bottles.
He then handed the storage bag to the other two treasure appraisers beside him, who also checked it, and then the three of them nodded in unison.
The white-bearded old man smiled at Lin Mu and said, "Seventeen thousand bottles of Guiling Pills, there is no doubt that they should be included in the rare treasure list."
Lin Mu knew this long ago, and he asked the white-bearded old man with a smile, "I wonder what rank it will be?"
The white-bearded old man and the other two looked at each other, and the three of them smiled and said in unison, "No. 1!"
No. 1 on the rare treasure list!
