"City Lord Lin Che! I've long heard of your name! Haha!"
Lin Che had just walked into the city gate when a fat man with a smile on his face came up to greet him from the Sea Spirit Guard formation outside.
Judging from his attire, he should be the leader of the Sea Spirit Guards. After all, the last time the warlord Fu Ming came, he also stood next to this fat man, smiling.
Fu Ming was also very knowledgeable and took the lead in introducing: "City Lord Lin Che, this is the commander-in-chief of our Sea Spirit Guards - Qihan Yu."
Seeing this, Lin Che remained neither humble nor overbearing. He bowed and said, "So it's the Governor-General who has arrived—Come in, please!"
"Haha, you're welcome. City Lord Lin, please!"
The group entered Liuxi City politely.
Qi Hanyu walked through the city and sighed, "I never thought City Lord Lin could redevelop the city in such a short time. In a few days, he's going to hold an auction. Here, I, your brother, wish City Lord Lin a smooth and successful auction. May it become an instant hit. Haha!"
Lin Che laughed heartily and said as he led the way, "With the Governor-General's two kind words, I'm sure everything will go smoothly, haha."
Both of them were polite to each other, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
In fact, Lin Che knew very well that the reason why the two sides could have such a scene of conversation was because the strength of both sides had been demonstrated.
Needless to say, the Sea Spirit Guards controlled the entire Mange Port. Meanwhile, Lin Che's massacre of the Golden Scale Chamber of Commerce sparked public outrage.
Then, when the nine Bodhisattvas including Daqian Bodhisattva came to attack, four beings comparable to the Great Demon King suddenly appeared on Lin Che's side, which definitely made everyone start to be wary.
However, Lin Che suddenly rushed towards Mange Port with the force of thunder and destroyed the largest demon Buddha temple there. Afterwards, he left calmly.
The anger of the Sea Spirit Guards died down instantly. Instead, after careful consideration, they realized that they needed to establish a good relationship with Lin Che.
Lin Che, a human cultivator, is not only powerful, but also has no fear of wearing shoes when barefoot. If you provoke him, what if he brings other cultivators like the three great demon kings to cause trouble?
So, today, the General Commander Qi Hanyu came in person, and even said a few polite words, calling him "brother" and "old brother".
Both parties took their seats and had some drinks.
Qihanyu finally got to the point: "By the way, City Lord Lin, I heard that your auction this time is for the Earth Vein Essence? How big is this Earth Vein Essence? Oh... City Lord Lin, please don't misunderstand me. I want to see its size so I can prepare the coins."
Lin Che had already prepared for this and casually pulled out a brochure. "Everything we're auctioning this time is listed here. General Governor, please take a look."
Qihan Yu took it and flipped through it immediately. The first thing printed on it was a piece of earth vein essence. However, it was much smaller than he had imagined.
Qi Hanyu thought for a moment. He remembered that the piece snatched away by Hai Ningyan, one of the ten witches, seemed to be half the size of the one in the picture.
What's going on?
Then, he realized the reason. Lin Che must have secretly split the earth vein essence into two. What a waste of natural resources. Did he just break it like that?
"Haha, it really is a treasure. Not bad, not bad."
Qi Hanyu showed a very satisfied expression on his face, and then he flipped through the pages and found that it was the "Nirvana Feather" and the "Heart-Eating Gu Worm". Lin Che actually put these things up for auction.
"Huh? This is... a sound transmitting conch? City Lord Lin, you actually still have more sound transmitting conches? Are there really more than a thousand pairs?"
Qihan Yu's face was filled with shock. If it were just a pair of conches, it would be nothing more than a novelty. But if there were more than a thousand pairs, then he could truly plan and win battles from afar.
He can completely control every move of all the Sea Spirit Guards, just like controlling his own hands.
Now his Sea Spirit Guards have to report to the higher authorities one level at a time, which is too complicated and tedious.
"Of course. Is the Overseer interested too?"
"I want these conches! I want them all!" Qihan Yu stood up suddenly, his eyes shining, as if he saw unprecedented value.
"Okay, okay. Then I'll wait for the Governor General to show off his might at the auction!"
"You're taking this thing to an auction? What a waste! Even if I gave you countless coins, you wouldn't be able to use it."
Lin Che nodded as well, her eyes falling on the armor on Fu Ming beside her. "What the Governor-General said is true. I'm not just after coins. If the Governor-General can provide some Sea Spirit Guard armor, I think I'd be even more willing to trade with you."
"You want our armor?" Qihanyu pursed his lips, still weighing the pros and cons.
After a moment, he nodded heavily. "Alright. I'll go back and report to our Prison Suppressing Rhino King. I'm sure there will be news soon."
"Then the Governor General will have to move faster. Our auction will begin in a few days."
Qi Hanyu also acted decisively. After saying a few more words, he said goodbye and left.
A few days passed in a flash.
Under the chairmanship of Ji Wuhuan, the auction was held smoothly.
Although this auction seemed very hastily organized, quite a few forces had come, most of them coming for the Earth Vein Essence.
Of course, this was a pre-determined item. No matter how other forces bid, it finally fell into Ji Wuhuan's hands.
However, items like the "Nirvana Feather" and the "Heart-Eating Gu" were bought by other forces. This also included many of the treasures that Hai Ningyan had previously stolen.
Lin Che's move was truly helpless.
The things that Hai Ningyan stole were too dazzling. If he didn't auction them off now, countless thieves would be eyeing them instead.
What Lin Che couldn't have imagined was that the most popular item was actually the sound transmitting conch.
The number of conches he currently owns is already more than 2,000 pairs. The first group was auctioned for 1,000 pairs, and was won by Qihan Yu with an absolute price advantage.
The second group also consisted of one thousand pairs. Before other forces could react, Qihan Yu was sold at the same price, making a double profit.
In the end, others could only bid on the scattered hundred or so pairs.
Lin Che received three thousand sets of "Thunder Armor" from Qi Hanyu.
With these 3,000 sets of armor, he would take them back to Dagan and equip his Shenji Battalion. Moreover, he would have the Daodao Academy directly dismantle the Benlei Battle Armor and study it.
After the auction ended, Ji Wuhuan came over with a smile on his face and said:
"Everything is going well. You have two spots to enter the Millennium Secret Realm. The time is three months from now. Get ready, we'll be leaving in two days."
Lin Che was stunned: "So fast?"
"It's not fast. The entrance to the Millennium Secret Realm is not within our immediate area. We still need to take a warship to get there."
After Ji Wuhuan finished speaking, he thought of something else: "Oh right. You are so righteous, before we set off, can you help me write a few words and compose a couple of war poems? Otherwise, after entering the secret realm, we might be attacked by evil spirits, which would be troublesome."
There are evil spirits in the secret realm?
