Mortal: I, Mo Juren

Chapter 103 Picking up the leak, one year later
"Three of the best gas refining period furnace cauldrons, Yuan Yin is still there, the starting price is one thousand spirit stones!"

A skinny old man glanced at the many green-gleaming eyes below and slowly began to introduce.

"One thousand and one spirit stones!" As soon as the skinny old man finished speaking, a man wearing a black hood made an offer.

"One thousand one hundred spirit stones!"

Another undisguised ugly man looked at the three nearly naked and charming women on the stage and said with longing.

The three women also sensed the ugly man's greedy gaze that was about to turn into reality, and their eyes were filled with despair.

It's a pity that the three of them have already been restrained in their bodies, otherwise they would rather commit suicide than become the playthings of these people.

"One thousand two hundred spirit stones!"

"One thousand and three hundred spirit stones!"

……

Perhaps because the dark market here is within the scope of the Soul Reaver Cult, more people who come to participate in the auction are demon cultivators.

The popularity of the three extremely beautiful top furnace cauldrons far exceeded Mo Fan's imagination.

The price had soared in just a dozen breaths, which shocked Mo Fan in the VIP room.

As expected of a magic cultivator who acted haphazardly, in other places, the cultivator would have to consider whether the price exceeded the budget when auctioning.

But among this group of demon cultivators, there seemed to be no such concerns at all.

The final transaction price reached two thousand spirit stones.

Even though Mo Fan was slightly interested at first, he gave up the idea of ​​bidding.

Two thousand spirit stones were far beyond the value that the three of them could bring to him.

After all, he didn't practice any technique like Dual Cultivation and Tonic.

Even if he practiced such techniques, the three Qi Refining Furnace Cauldrons would be of no help to him who had already cultivated the Golden Core.

It's nothing more than letting him try something new.

Although I really wanted to use the spirit stone to rescue three graceful young ladies.

But the main purpose of his trip was to obtain the materials for refining water and gold flying sword magic weapons.

Although he could get two thousand spirit stones, he had to consider a problem.

That is, it is reasonable for him to take out the maximum number of spirit stones at one time with his status, and it will not attract the attention of other monks.

This is the most critical question.

As far as spiritual stones are concerned, as long as he is willing, he can use the palm sky bottle to continuously ripen a thousand-year-old elixir, or even thousands of years of elixir, and sell it.

Earning spiritual stones is a problem; similarly, how to spend them safely and reasonably is also a problem.

That's why money laundering exists.

Seeing the three young ladies being photographed by the hooded man who was the first to bid, Mo Fan could only sigh helplessly.

After this battle, the enthusiasm of the entire auction instantly soared to its peak. Except for Mo Fan, almost everyone was enthusiastic.

As the auction items were brought up one by one, Mo Fan had no idea of ​​bidding.

These things are either too low-end, or some materials or treasures that can only be used by demon cultivators, and are useless to him.

Half an hour flies by.

After half an hour of presiding, the skinny old man showed no signs of fatigue and was still in high spirits.

"The following treasure was obtained from a historical site at a great cost by our association. Although it is not an offensive and defensive treasure, it can be regarded as an excellent auxiliary treasure."

I saw him taking a plate from the maid, pulling off the red cloth covering it, revealing a blue bead, and introduced it with an exaggerated expression.

"Stop talking about these things and tell me the specific functions and price."

The demon cultivator with an impatient personality immediately started urging him impatiently when he saw that the skinny old man was interested again.

"Haha, since the guest officer has said so, I don't have to worry about it anymore. After many tests by my association, the specific function of this object is to release an extremely cold air. This extremely cold air I’m afraid that when encountering monks in the late Golden Core stage, they will inevitably be frozen, and even the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage will need a moment and a half to be completely released.”

"I said, Mr. Wang, please stop bragging. If this thing can really threaten the ancestors in the Nascent Soul stage, will you still put it up for auction?"

Upon hearing the introduction of the skinny old man, some people who were familiar with him immediately sneered.

"Of course, this object also has a small flaw, that is, the extremely cold air released is slightly slower. This is related to the user's cultivation level. The higher the cultivation level, the faster it is activated."

Being exposed, the skinny old man didn't feel embarrassed at all and still introduced with a smile on his face.

"How slow is a little slow? And how big is the impact of cultivation?"

Although many people knew that this skinny old man must be exaggerating, they could not help but feel a little moved after hearing his previous introduction.

Not to mention whether this object can really threaten the Yuanying stage monks, just because it can freeze the late Golden Core monks, it can be regarded as a treasure. If it is true, then I will take it no matter what.

"Ahem~, as for this, after many tests by this association, if an early-stage Jindan monk activates it with all his strength, it can freeze an early-stage Foundation-building monk in half a quarter of an hour."

The skinny old man coughed lightly, but still told the truth.

It's not that his conscience found it, it was an unwritten rule of the auction.

If you want to develop the auction, you must not allow any concealment of the auction items.

Even if the function of the auction item is not fully understood, the auctioneer must be informed in advance.

"Hey!~"

As the old man finished speaking, bursts of boos quickly came from below.

A monk in the early stage of Golden Core can freeze an early stage monk in half an hour by using all his strength, so this thing is useless.

If an early-stage Jindan monk wants to win over an early-stage Foundation-building monk, he doesn't need so many.

As long as you don't encounter a particularly heaven-defying early-stage foundation-building monk, you can basically solve the battle with one move.

One move only takes a moment, but this thing takes half an hour to freeze someone.

As for what the old man said about causing trouble to the Nascent Soul Stage monks, perhaps it needs to be controlled by the legendary Soul Transformation Stage monks.

No wonder this object is not even considered the final item, everyone thought, and their interest in this object quickly dropped.

"Fellow Taoists, you can use it in another way, for example, to seal something. This treasure is also good."

Seeing that everyone had lost interest, the skinny old man smiled bitterly and forced himself to explain.

"Okay, without further ado, the starting price for this item is one thousand spiritual stones!"

Seeing that everyone's emotions really couldn't be aroused, the skinny old man had no choice but to knock on the table and announce the start of the bidding.

However, after the old man finished speaking, the scene fell into an embarrassing situation.

For the first time in the entire auction, there were no bids.

In fact, some of the people present were somewhat interested in this object. However, due to the high starting price, spending a thousand spirit stones on something that they could not use was not something they, a group of foundation-building monks, could afford to spend.

After ten interest.

Just when the skinny old man thought that this thing was about to go unsold, a lazy voice came from a VIP room:
"A thousand spirit stones!"

The bidder was none other than Mo Fan, who had never made a bid.

Before he absorbed and integrated Sun Zhongxing's weapon refining inheritance, he probably wouldn't have spent a thousand spirit stones to buy such a useless thing.

But he had just used his spiritual consciousness to explore this bead, and the structure of this object was very special.

The core part was actually placed with a privacy barrier.

This type of prohibition is also simple, that is, when someone wants to forcibly detect the internal structure, automatic destruction will occur.This alone was not enough to arouse Mo Fan's interest.

Through the external structure and the introduction of the skinny old man just now, he had a vague guess in his mind.

If he deduced correctly, the core of this bead may be an unknown flame of extreme cold!
Even if it wasn't the Extremely Cold Flame, the contents inside shouldn't be too bad, at least worth a thousand spiritual stones.

After all, if you want to freeze all the late-stage Jindan monks, no matter how long it takes, it is not something that ordinary things can do.

The outer structure is completely a forced excitation device.

This means that this bead has not exerted its full power at all.

It would be reasonable if it were the Extreme Cold Flame. After all, the Extreme Cold Flame that has not been refined can only rely on instinct.

This is a good thing that only monks in the Nascent Soul Stage can refine and use against enemies. Unexpectedly, it has not been discovered.

Hearing Mo Fan's quotation, the skinny old man also looked happy. He looked in the direction of the VIP room where the sound came from, and said loudly:
"The price for VIP room No. 5 is one thousand spiritual stones! Is there anyone with a higher price?"

After hearing the quotation, naturally the skinny old man was not the only one to react.

The rest of the people also glanced curiously at VIP Room No. 5 where Mo Fan was.

"One thousand one hundred spiritual stones!" Suddenly a slightly hoarse voice came from VIP Room No. 1.

"The guest in VIP room No. 1 bid [-] spiritual stones! The guests in two VIP rooms started to bid. It seems that there are still people who know the goods! I wonder if there is a higher price?"

Hearing another quote from VIP Room No. 1, the skinny old man's face became even more joyful, and at the same time, he immediately borrowed their names and began to hint.

Hearing this, the monks who had some initial thoughts also hesitated.

As the skinny old man said, two people in the VIP room bid in succession, which in itself was an affirmation of the auction items.

Not everyone can enter the VIP room. Those who are not Golden Core monks, or those who hold the Golden Core monk token are never allowed to enter.

They were not familiar with the sounds in VIP Room No. 5, but they had heard the slightly hoarse voice in VIP Room No. 1.

It was one of the several early Jindan monks who came to participate this time.

But they didn't dare to bid against the Jindan monks for a while.

While everyone was hesitating, Mo Fan in VIP Room No. 5 frowned slightly.

He didn't know if the people in VIP Room No. 1 had really discovered the secret of this bead like him, or if they were just curious.

In the latter case, he can also slightly raise the price to scare people away.

If it is the former, it will be difficult to deal with. I am afraid that this time I will have to bleed heavily.

With a hint of probing, Mo Fan spoke again:

"One thousand and five hundred spirit stones!"

This time he raised the price by a full four hundred spirit stones, just to see if this person would decisively follow the price.

"The guests in VIP Room No. 5 bid one thousand five hundred spirit stones! Is there any higher bidder?"

The skinny old man said with a red face and excitement.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

VIP Room No. 1 still hasn’t made a bid, and seems to be considering whether the item is worth the price.

This made Mo Fan secretly relieved. This person's hesitation meant that he had not discovered the true secret of the bead.

Otherwise, there would be no hesitation for two breaths.

"One thousand six hundred spirit stones!"

The sound did not come from VIP Room 1, but from VIP Room 3 between the two.

"The guest in VIP room No. 3 bids one thousand six hundred spirit stones!" The skinny old man was very excited when he saw that the three people in the VIP room participated in the bidding.

Three Jindan monks were suspected of bidding for this bead, which quickly aroused the curiosity of the others.

Seeing another person suddenly appear, Mo Fan sighed slightly.

Why did he always miss the protagonists when reading novels?

Only then did he suspect that he had picked it up. Why did so many people come to grab it?

This time Mo Fan did not rush to quote, but waited until the moment before the skinny old man announced the deal, and then said in a slightly hesitant voice:

"One thousand seven hundred spirit stones!"

Perhaps hearing the hesitation in Mo Fan's tone, a middle-aged man in green robes in VIP room No. 3 dispelled the suspicion in his eyes.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths passed quickly.

Finally no one came out to quote.

"Congratulations to the guests in VIP Room No. 5 for purchasing this bead with one thousand seven hundred spirit stones!"

Seeing that VIP rooms No. 1 and 3 no longer quoted prices, the skinny old man had no choice but to knock down the hammer in his hand.

From the very beginning, he thought it would be rejected, but now with the [-] spirit stones, the skinny old man is actually quite satisfied.

The old man had just announced that the handover was completed, and soon a maid dragged the bead to VIP Room No. 5 where Mo Fan was.

Throwing the storage bag containing the spirit stones to the maid who came in, Mo Fan sucked the beads into his hands with a flick of his finger.

It happened that none of the items behind were of interest to him. After waving away the maid, he gathered his consciousness and carefully examined the beads in his hand.

After more than ten breaths, he looked happy and put the beads into his storage bag.

After careful inspection just now, he has an 80.00% probability of being able to determine that the core of this bead is sealed with an extremely cold flame.

It had been nearly twenty years since he traveled back in time, and he finally missed it once.

Although it was not a particularly powerful treasure, Mo Fan still enjoyed the joy of picking it up.

I don’t know if his luck has run out or if this auction is not high-end enough.

What made him regretful was that none of the materials for refining water-based flying swords and gold-based flying sword magic weapons appeared in any of the subsequent auction items.

In desperation, Mo Fan could only rush to the next auction that was about to be held.

……

The water flows in the east, and the leaves fall.

In a blink of an eye, time flies by, and it's one year later.

The time has come to 27.

Seeing that there was only one year left before the demonic invasion in the original work, Mo Fan, who had been away for a year, had no choice but to return to Yellow Maple Valley.

Over the past year, he has participated in dozens of auctions, large and small.

Unfortunately, he still didn't have the materials to refine the water and gold flying sword magic weapons.

The materials for the water flying sword magic weapon are not good, and there are only two or three auxiliary materials left.

The difficulty is with the gold-type flying sword magic weapon. In addition to a small amount of main materials, nearly half of the auxiliary materials are also missing.

　To celebrate the National Day, we will update 6K daily starting tomorrow!
