Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

At the auction site, in another luxurious box, several bodyguards in suits were standing solemnly.

Two young men sat on the spacious sofa. One of them had an exceptionally pale face, giving off a vaguely sinister impression. He wore a casual suit, clenching his hands tightly, his gaze sharp.

”Who dares to fight me for something, they’re really tired of living...” the young man gritted his teeth.

The Heavenly Toad Essence Blood was only one portion, and it was merely of four-star rank. Twenty pieces of top-grade spirit stones already far exceeded its actual value.

”Crow, although the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood is useful to you, it seems that the people competing with you also want it badly. If you continue the bidding like this, wouldn’t it just let the auction make money?”

Just as the sinister-faced young man was about to name another price, another exceptionally handsome young man in a white suit spoke slowly.

”Young Master Ye is right, but the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood doesn’t appear often. I need it to condense my fourth Star Power...” the sinister young man said, a hint of displeasure in his voice.

”No problem, after the auction ends, I’ll accompany you to meet the person competing with you. He’ll have to give me some face.” The handsome young man said slowly, his tone carrying undeniable authority.

The sinister young man’s eyebrows showed a trace of a smile, ”With Young Master Ye personally stepping in, the other party will definitely give face to you. Thank you, Young Master Ye.”

”Why be so polite with me?” The handsome man called Young Master Ye raised his wine glass and took a gentle sip.

...

”Is there any higher bid?”

The hunchbacked old man on the auction platform waited for a while and, seeing no additional bids from other competitors, concluded, ”Congratulations to the guest in box seven for obtaining a portion of the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood.”

”Now, we prepare to auction the last item, the Luoshui Crystal!”

The hunchbacked old man’s voice wasn’t loud, yet it immediately made everyone in the room widen their eyes.

...

Box number seven.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Soon, a man in a suit entered and completed the transaction with Lin Mo.

”Is this the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood?”

Lin Mo held a ball about the size of a ping pong ball in his hand. It was a strange red color throughout, like a physalis, with a texture that had some elasticity. A pungent smell wafted from it.

Using certain techniques, the essence blood had been made into a jelly-like form. By crushing the black sphere and applying the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood to the body, it would enhance the body’s strength with the essence blood of fierce beasts.

”The Luoshui Crystal has appeared.” Mu Lihong’s voice seemed tinged with a bit of trembling.

Lin Mo quickly placed the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood into his space ring. Twenty-five pieces of top-grade crystals far exceeded the value of the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, but there was no choice; finding fierce beast essence blood was so difficult nowadays!

In the box, Ye Beichen, Young Master Guo, and Lady Kong all craned their necks, eyes unblinkingly staring at the stage outside the glass window.

Even the usually calm Mu Lihong had his eyes focused, with a faint excitement on his face.

Lin Mo looked up and saw, beside the hunchbacked old man on the stage, stood a young girl with a tray in her hand, which held a transparent crystal with countless facets, reflecting the auction lights as if it had a unique magic to draw people in.

”Is the Luoshui Crystal also something that enhances the Martial Artist’s physique?” Lin Mo asked.

After all, the Cultivation World was vast. Lin Mo, in his past life, had roamed the Cultivation World for three hundred years, but what he knew and had experienced was but a grain of sand in the universe. Naturally, there were many things unknown to him.

”Yes, the Luoshui Crystal, a yellow-grade fifth-class treasure, can expand the meridians within the body when its power is absorbed, enhancing the physique. It is an extremely precious material for both Martial Artists and Magic Users,” Mu Lihong said with a slightly open mouth, longing in his expression.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are divided into four grades: Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang, with further subdivisions of grades from one to nine.

Lin Mo secretly furrowed his brows. This thing was estimated to be much more expensive than the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood, but just then, the hunchbacked old man said something that startled Lin Mo.

”Luoshui Crystal, a yellow-grade fifth-class treasure, an excellent treasure for both Martial Artists and Magic Users, starting price of 100 top-grade spirit stones.” The hunchbacked old man said with a smile, his small eyes gleaming with cunning.

”Five hundred top-grade spirit stones,” a faint voice came from box number one.

The people who were ready to bid were suddenly stunned. Even the cunning face of the hunchbacked old man on the auction stage involuntarily showed a slight look of shock.

In the auction hall.

After a moment of cold silence, the sound of sharp intakes of breath continued to ring out in succession.

”Five hundred top-grade spirit stones?”

”Who is it, with such extravagance, is there a Big Shot in box number one?”

”All my assets only amount to a hundred top-grade spirit stones, monsters can’t be compared to monsters.”

In box number seven, Lin Mo also furrowed his brows.

Five hundred top-grade spirit stones was indeed a grand gesture, equivalent to all his assets, totaling only a hundred and forty top-grade spirit stones.

Mu Lihong said, ”The one in box number one should be a Big Shot; otherwise, they couldn’t make such a generous offer.”

”Yes, our family would also be extremely pained to take out five hundred top-grade spirit stones,” Ye Beichen said with a sigh.

Lin Mo, however, was at ease. He had only returned to Earth for cultivation for five or six years, so naturally, his accumulated wealth couldn’t match the deep foundations of major sects and great forces that had existed for millennia.

”Earlier...” Peacock suddenly thought of something and looked at Lin Mo, speaking softly, ”The ones who were bidding against you for the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood were also from box number one!”

”Hmm?”

Lin Mo raised his eyebrows.

”Brother Lin, when you were competing with the people in box number one for the Heavenly Toad Essence Blood earlier, I’m afraid they might cause trouble for you after the auction,” Guo Da said directly.

”I was bidding fairly in the auction, why would they trouble me?” Lin Mo said calmly.

Currently, Lin Mo’s strength was also at the Star Wheel Mirror Four Stars level as a Martial Artist, his magic cultivation had reached the Innate Dragon Transformation stage, essentially invincible at the same level. Even if he encountered an enemy at the peak of the Innate Late Stage, he would have the means to fight.

Moreover, Lin Mo had a super trump card, Zhen Yuanzi of the Golden Core stage. However, if it wasn’t the last resort, Lin Mo wouldn’t expose his trump card, for once the trump card is exposed, it ceases to be a trump card.

”Yes, I hope that person won’t come looking for trouble, but with the four of us here, and considering most who came are from the Heavenly Sect and the Demon Clan, at least they’ll give us some face,” Ye Beichen said with a grin.

The auction was nearing its end.

Mu Lihong turned his head, looking at Lin Mo, and said, ”Mr. Lin, the reason I asked you to come today is actually because there’s something I want to ask if you can help with.”
