Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

Ye Beichen invited Lin Mo inside and began speaking, ”This is Young Master Guo, and this is Lady Kong. You should have met them, though Mr. Nie hasn’t been able to join us recently.”

Lin Mo gave a slight nod.

”Witnessing Mr. Lin’s remarkable presence at Lobu Lake back then was truly impressive,” Young Master Guo laughed out loud.

”Indeed, for his wife, he risked the danger of spatial turbulence and went against all of the Heavenly Sect. If I could find a boyfriend like Mr. Lin in the future, that would be great,” Lady Kong said half-jokingly.

”By the way, let me introduce you to Mu Lihong, a master from the Iron Rhinoceros Clan of the Beiyao Sect.” Ye Beichen’s face had a hint of seriousness as he glanced at the mountain-like man.

”Mr. Lin, I’ve heard Brother Ye mention you before.” Mu Lihong stood up, smiling lightly.

”Mr. Mu.” Lin Mo nodded. The aura emitting from him was intense, suggesting he was much more formidable than the other three, most likely also within the Innate Dragon Transformation Realm or even the Divine Platform Realm.

The five sat inside the booth. The room had transparent glass walls, allowing clear viewing of the auction stage and the items being auctioned.

Lin Mo attended this auction particularly interested in the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood and Luoshui Crystal, as both items had extremely powerful effects in enhancing physical traits and cellular improvements.

If he could further enhance his physical qualities, he could then merge more Starlight and sooner condense the fifth Star Power.

However, this auction was different from others he had attended; those present had backgrounds and strengths unlike ordinary people.

The auction began!

”Welcome to this auction. I won’t waste time, let’s get started right away.”

A short, slightly hunched old man walked onto the high stage, skipping microphones and headsets, using True Yuan to project his voice, making it clearly audible to everyone present.

”The first item for auction, Cold Star Grass, aged at five hundred years.”

The hunched old man explained while a young girl walked onto the stage with a tray. Her white hands, as beautiful as jade, held a jade plate on which lay a green herb, faint white fog rising, exuding cold energy.

”This Cold Star Grass is suitable for cultivators practicing cultivation techniques of the Ice Element, Water Element, or Yin Element. At five hundred years old, it’s considered mid-grade,” Mu Lihong remarked indifferently.

”Everyone can start bidding, starting price is one top-grade spiritual stone.”

The old man’s lips curled into a slight smile.

”One top-grade spiritual stone.”

”One top-grade spirit stone, five hundred pieces of middle grade spiritual stones.”

”Two top-grade spiritual stones.”

Ultimately, this Cold Star Grass was bought by a man with a sinister face wearing a white robe, suggesting his cultivation technique belonged to the malevolent lineage.

Lin Mo mused to himself.

This one Cold Star Grass required two top-grade spiritual stones; he had thought his hundred top-grade spiritual stones were quite a lot, but prices were unexpectedly high.

”This Cold Star Grass could typically be purchased for one top-grade spiritual stone, but given current resource scarcity, selling for two top-grade spiritual stones is understandable,” Mu Lihong commented.

”A good start, congratulations to this gentleman. The next auction item is the Starfire Storage Ring, capable of storing items and containing a Fire Attack Array equivalent to a full strike from an Innate Peak. Starting price is five top-grade spiritual stones.”

A Space Ring is originally meant to store items, and it is engraved with Fire Magic Rune, able to unleash the strongest strike of an Innate Peak, worthy of this price.

Lately, the Starfire Storage Ring was auctioned off to a girl draped with a veil.

”Golden Stone, a superb material for refining magic treasure...”

”Fire Spirit Fruit, essential for those cultivating the Fire Element...”

One auction item after another flowed like water until it finally came to the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood.

”Everyone, one of the highlight items of this auction is here, the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, essence blood of a four-star fierce beast. You all know how ferocious a four-star beast is, and each beast yields very little essence blood. We’ve divided it into three portions, and today, we’re only auctioning one portion.”

Lin Mo’s eyes showed a glint of interest. In Sword Heart Martial Arts Hall, one method to enhance the body’s carrying capacity was to apply Demon Beast Essence Blood, though not just any demon beast. For example, Ye Beichen and others of the Demon Clan possess spirituality, able to transform into human form, their essence blood fused with their bodies.

The only source for essence blood is fierce beasts, ancient beasts. For the Demon Clan, these fierce beasts are also their hunting targets. The same level fierce beasts possess stronger physiques and bloodline power than the Demon Clan but lack intelligence, leading to bloodthirsty rampages when encountering humans or other groups, never ceasing.

”Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, only one portion, don’t miss it, especially for friends who major in martial arts. Starting price is five top-grade spiritual stones,” the old man with a sly expression said slowly.

”Is one portion of Heavenly Toad Essence Blood really that expensive?”

”Indeed, five top-grade spiritual stones. I don’t even have that much wealth.”

”It’s important to realize that fierce beasts are extremely rare nowadays; naturally, prices rise drastically.”

”Six top-grade spiritual stones,” Lin Mo spoke out.

Young Master Guo, Lady Kong, and Mu Lihong all looked at Lin Mo with surprise. Six top-grade spiritual stones is not a small amount for regular people. Only those from significant sects or big families would have money for such expenses.

Ye Beichen, however, was not surprised, knowing Lin Mo’s interest in Heavenly Toad Essence Blood.

”Ten top-grade spiritual stones.”

At that moment, a soft voice emerged from a side booth.

Lin Mo paused. The starting price for the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood was five top-grade spiritual stones. Even in competition, it would gradually reach ten top-grade spiritual stones, but someone had unexpectedly bid ten right away.

”Fifteen top-grade spiritual stones,” Lin Mo furrowed his brow, not giving up. After all, he obtained one hundred top-grade spiritual stones from the Prison Tower, and fifteen were temporarily acceptable.

The auction room fell to silence for many.

Though Heavenly Toad Essence Blood is rare and beneficial for martial artists in enhancing physical strength, fifteen top-grade spiritual stones undeniably exceeded its expected value.

The person competing with Lin Mo remained silent for quite some time.

”Any higher bids past fifteen top-grade spiritual stones?” The old man’s eyes squinted, his face full of smiles, hoping for a fierce bidding war to drive up the price.

”Twenty top-grade spiritual stones.”

A deep voice resonated, hinting at a trace of anger within.

”Twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones,” Lin Mo remarked calmly.

Mu Lihong and Ye Beichen, Young Master Guo, and Lady Kong were all slightly surprised.

Twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones is not a small sum for them either.

With this spoken, silence extended for some time longer.

The excitement continues tomorrow.
