Chapter 297 Ten Thousand Years of Spider Silk
When Qin Mo walked into the auction house, it was impossible for him to find a bargain.
No one in the world of cultivation is a real fool. What you think is a bargain is most likely a trap set by others.
Especially those in the evil world, they have no moral principles at all. They will cheat anyone they can, or two people they can cheat.
It’s not enough to resist, once the mood is good, you might even rob someone and get both money and sex…
I just want to ask you if you are afraid?
Qin Mo did not expect to encounter anything satisfactory in such a small place. He just wanted to get a glimpse of the level of the earthly immortal world through this auction.
"This Demon Lord, is he going to participate in the auction?"
Seeing Dan Chenzi, a waiter in the Foundation Establishment Stage walked over quickly with a very enthusiastic attitude.
After all, Dan Chenzi is also a strong man in the fusion stage. On Black Shark Island, except for the island owner, he is already a first-rate existence.
How dare the waiter be negligent?
"Yeah." Dan Chenzi nodded lightly.
In order to prevent his true identity from being exposed, Qin Mo had already told Dan Chenzi to play the role of a taciturn demon master. Anyway, he should act as cool as possible...
The waiter didn't mind, as there were many people like him in the Demonic Path. He smiled and said, "According to the rules, you have to pay an entrance fee of one high-grade spirit stone to participate in the auction."
Whether in the prehistoric continent or other dimensional continents, gold and silver are the hard currencies.
Due to the scarcity of spirit stones, they have not become a circulating currency. They are generally only used by cultivators to absorb spiritual energy for cultivation or to set up formations.
But in the world of earthly immortals, spirit stones have become hard currency among cultivators.
Whether it is the immortal path, the devil path, the Buddhist path, or even the monster clan, they all accept spirit stones as a currency.
The exchange rate between low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade spirit stones is 100. Due to the scarcity of high-quality spirit stones, the actual exchange rate may be even higher.
One high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is not something that everyone can afford.
Especially since it’s just an admission ticket.
This will also keep many weak bidders out of the auction, and it is also one of the main profit points for the auction house, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"Give."
Dan Chenzi took out a top-grade spirit stone from the bone ring.
Needless to say,
This was also prepared in advance by Qin Mo.
"this……"
The waiter was a little embarrassed. He pointed at Qin Mo and said with a smile, "Is this the friend of the Demon Lord? If you want to participate, you have to pay another high-grade spirit stone according to the rules."
Dan Chenzi's face darkened. "He is my follower. Why does he have to pay an entrance fee?"
"No...I dare not." The waiter smiled awkwardly.
As expected, people in the evil world are used to being soft and afraid of the hard.
Showing weakness all the time,
It just makes people feel that you are easy to bully.
After the little episode, under the guidance of the waiter, Qin Mo followed Dan Chenzi to the third floor lobby of the auction house and sat down in a random seat.
An auction house of this size would never have any VIP boxes.
The demonic monks who participated in the auction were all upright and few of them were hiding their identities. One reason was that the monks who came were basically active in the surrounding waters.
They know each other very well, so there is no need to hide anything.
Secondly, with the means of the monks, if they really want to investigate someone, they can't hide by wearing a mask or a black robe.
It's just a joke.
Only a cultivator like Qin Mo who possesses a Mahayana Yuanshen can hide his cultivation in front of a group of demonic cultivators and deliberately reveal that he is only in the Nascent Soul stage.
No one else can tell.
Even so, when Qin Mo walked into the hall, he still attracted a few glances because of his strange attire.
After scanning,
Seeing that Qin Mo was just a young cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, he showed disdain and stopped paying attention to him.
Qin Mo was thinking that if his "master" Dan Chenzi was not also a powerful cultivator in the fusion stage, he would probably have been pinned to the ground and beaten.
People in the magic world are so passionate and real.
After Qin Mo sat down, he subconsciously looked around and found that there were only about twenty-five or twenty-six people in the hall. Most of them were at the Spirit Transformation Stage, and most of them were at the Void Refining Stage.
The fusion period is relatively rare, with only two coming.
On the high platform, there were five exquisitely crafted trays placed in a row, each containing a sword, a piece of rotten wood, a handkerchief, a piece of Geng gold and a ball of spider silk.
Needless to say,
These five items are the items to be auctioned later. There is no introduction and no one is standing guard next to them.
It can be seen that the owner of the auction house is very confident.
This also allows bidders to do some research in advance so that they can have a better idea of the situation.
Everyone present was a person of status, so it was naturally impossible for them to be so cheap as to come forward to observe. Each of them looked calm, but in fact their spiritual sense had already scanned the five lots inside and out.
There is no need to step forward at all.
"Huh?"
Qin Mo, who had originally had no hope, suddenly became interested in the spider silk. He used his spiritual sense to repeatedly explore it and finally confirmed that it was the ten thousand year old spider silk he was looking for.
To be precise,
It should be the last ball of silk spit out by the purple-eyed thunder spider with a lifespan of ten thousand years before it died.
legend,
The purple-eyed lightning spider has 18,888 eyes and likes to feed on lightning. It lives in the thunder pool swamp all year round and its trace is rarely seen.
Before the Purple Eyed Thunder Spider runs out of life, it will spin silk to wrap its body, sink into the magma deep in the earth, and give birth to the next generation with its own flesh and blood.
This spider silk is not only rare, but also hard to find.
Only by chance, if one happens to encounter a purple-eyed lightning spider whose lifespan has run out, will one have a chance to intercept it before it sinks into the ground.
It makes it more precious.
This ten thousand year old spider silk is the main material for refining the Thousand Luo Umbrella, one of the secret treasures for transcending tribulations.
"Is it such a coincidence?"
Qin Mo subconsciously touched his face. Could it be that after reincarnation, he really became the legendary son of luck? He was determined to get this ball of spider silk.
The auction started on time at 2 pm.
A woman in red, dressed glamorously and charmingly, walked onto the stage, emitting the charming fragrance of a mature woman. Her every move, every frown and smile was so captivating.
Qin Mo sneered.
This woman is no ordinary woman. Not only does she have the cultivation base of the middle stage of fusion, she has also cultivated an extremely rare charm skill, making her already enchanting figure even more alluring.
Those watery eyes seemed to want to eat people, "My name is Meilihong, and I am honored to meet you, the Demon Lords."
Meilihong bowed gracefully , but she did not have the airs of a powerful person in the fusion stage at all. She seemed to be just an ordinary prostitute, with a seductive look and a charming demeanor.
All they saw was a vast expanse of white.
Even though everyone present was a veteran, some still couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
The heavy breathing came and went, paying tribute to...
Meilihong chuckled and finally got down to business. She pointed to the first tray on the left and introduced it, "The Wuji Demon Sword, the sword used by the former Wuji Demon Lord, a sixth-rank flying sword. The starting price is one hundred high-grade spirit stones."
The sixth-order flying sword is already the strongest flying sword below the Earth Immortal level.
Qin Mo didn't know much about the Wuji Demon Lord that Meilihong mentioned, but when he saw people around him eager to try and constantly raising their placards to bid, he knew that he must be a prominent figure in the magic world.
final,
This flying sword was bought by a powerful person in the Nascent Soul Stage for three hundred high-quality spirit stones .
I think if Qin Mo brought the Nanming Lihuo Sword, Tianlei Twin Swords and the like here for auction, it would probably stir up some trouble.
Qin Mo finally had an intuitive understanding of the prices in the Earthly Immortal Realm.
First, the resources in the earthly immortal world are indeed abundant.
The sixth-order flying sword is one of the most top-level existences in both the prehistoric continent and the Warring States subcontinent. It is rare in the world and there are only a few of them in total.
But on an island in the South China Sea, only one item was sold in a six-month auction.
The difference is obvious!
Second, the purchasing power of high-quality spirit stones is indeed strong.
Qin Mo noticed that after the auction price rose to 200 high-grade spirit stones, there were only a few bidders. This showed that the wealth of the people present was not too high.
It also proves from the side that Li Chen of Yuxu Palace is really domineering.
Qin Mo roughly counted the spirit stones in Li Chen's storage ring. Not to mention the mid-grade spirit stones, there was only one box, which he probably kept for rewarding his servants.
There are nearly 100,000 high-quality spirit stones alone.
Not to mention the two hundred rare and top-grade spirit stones.
"This is really a fortune."
Qin Mo was secretly delighted, and for the first time he was full of confidence in collecting the four secret treasures to overcome the tribulation.
Time flies,
The rotten wood, handkerchief, and Geng gold were successively sold at the price of two or three hundred high-quality spirit stones.
Qin Mo was actually a little tempted by the piece of Gengjin, as it was an excellent material for refining flying swords. Although Li Chen also had some in his storage ring, the more the better.
However, in order not to attract too much attention and cause public outrage when bidding for the ten thousand year old spider silk, Qin Mo still endured it.
Anyway,
According to this situation, in the earthly immortal world, as long as you have spirit stones, you will have no worries about not being able to buy Geng gold.
There's no need to create complications at a time like this.
"The last ball of spider silk spit out by the ten thousand year old purple-eyed thunder spider is an excellent spiritual material for refining thunder-attribute defensive magic weapons. The starting price is two hundred spiritual stones." Meilihong smiled and was obviously very satisfied with today's earnings.
really,
This auction house knew the origin of the ten thousand year old spider silk, so it was not Qin Mo's turn to get a bargain.
At the beginning, under Qin Mo's instructions, Dan Chenzi did not raise his hand. He only joined the competition after the price of the ten thousand year spider silk was pushed up to four hundred spirit stones and there were only a few people raising their hands.
Qin Mo noticed that the only two powerful men in the fusion stage present both raised their cards.
He even suspected that
Could it be that these two people received the news in advance and came here specifically for the ten thousand year old spider silk?
Before,
They were just like Qin Mo, watching the show.
"Four hundred and eighty spirit stones." Dan Chenzi raised the sign again.
Although Qin Mo is worth one hundred thousand, he is not stupid enough to show off his wealth in such an occasion. That would be asking for trouble. He still has to pretend to be struggling.
Gou,
You have to be thorough.
There was a commotion at the scene. One of the powerful men in the fusion stage directly chose to give up, while another powerful man in the fusion stage wearing a purple robe looked at Dan Chenzi deeply and raised the sign again.
"Four hundred and ninety spirit stones!"
Dan Chenzi's forehead was sweating, but he still raised the sign again very firmly, "Five hundred spirit stones!"
Wow~~~
Everyone present was whispering to each other, as this had already broken the record for the total price of the previous auctions.
Previously, a sixth-order flying sword was sold for only three hundred spirit stones.
A trace of hatred and unwillingness flashed in the purple-robed monk's eyes. Seeing Dan Chenzi so calm, he knew that he would definitely not be able to compete and could only give up.
In this way, Qin Mo successfully bought the ten thousand year old spider silk at a high price of five hundred spirit stones .
The auction ends here.
Following Dan Chenzi out of the auction house, Qin Mo felt two hostile gazes from behind, and a sneer appeared on his face...
