"What is it? Tell me. I will definitely help you if I can." A strong sense of unease rose in Master Gu's heart.
“I would like to ask Master Gu to help me find out how these talismans were drawn?” Mingluo’s eyes were slightly cold. “To be honest, these ten talismans in my hand were drawn by Master Zhao, but this is compensation he gave me.”
Minglu briefly explained the process of drawing the talisman.
This was the first time Nie Yuchen had heard Mingluo mention these things, and his eyes dimmed slightly. He realized that Mingluo had handled so much behind the scenes without saying a word…
If Zhao Qing's incident hadn't happened today, would she have even said anything?
Master Gu was stunned. "You mean drawing talismans with a person?"
“Not bad!” Mingluo said calmly. “Using a person to draw talismans is a method of drawing talismans by stimulating one’s own essence and blood as spiritual power. I suspect that Master Zhao has also mastered this method, but I don’t know whether he draws talismans with his own essence and blood or with the essence and blood of others. I need Master Gu to help me find out.”
Master Gu and Master Lin exchanged a glance, both sensing the seriousness of the situation.
Drawing a talisman on oneself only harms oneself, but if one draws a talisman on someone else's behalf...
This is a bloody incident!
Master Gu said solemnly, "I understand. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Minglu nodded and focused on watching the auction.
Master Lin opened his mouth, but then said nothing more.
He just had a vague feeling that Master Zhao was probably doomed.
Based on his understanding of Master Zhao, he knew that Master Zhao was a man who valued his life very much and would not do anything that would harm himself. However, he might actually use someone else's life to draw talismans...
If that's really the case, then they've gone down the wrong path.
From that moment on, Master Lin decided not to provoke Mingluo anymore; this little brat really knows how to drive people to the brink of despair.
All he wants now is to participate in an auction peacefully, sell the item to Mingluo, and that's the end of it.
On stage.
Lin He continued to host the auction. He first apologized to everyone, then promised to give each person a small gift, and thanked Mingluo again before continuing the auction.
This time, they were much more cautious.
Each item is presented only after being thoroughly verified by three appraisers; any item with even the slightest doubt is not allowed to be brought to the stage.
Therefore, this cautious approach won the favor of the public, and the auction went very smoothly.
Soon it was time for the item that Mingluo had chosen to be brought on stage.
Lin He, wearing gloves, showed the item to everyone and explained, "This is a Nine Soul Spirit, composed of nine bells. Each bell can rescue a wisp of a person's soul after death."
The audience burst into laughter.
Even if this thing could really save a person's soul, it wouldn't bring them back to life.
Most people are not interested.
However, a small number of people in the Xuanmen sect had their eyes light up. They believed that if they encountered an evil spirit, they could probably capture its soul and use it for their own purposes. They thought that nine bells could capture nine evil spirits.
This is a great deal!
If used properly, it can be a very useful combat artifact.
Lin He smiled and continued explaining. When he mentioned the starting price of ten million, many people gave up.
The product is really good, but it's also really expensive.
Master Lin was in pain; why did this little brat want something so expensive?
However, he has enough money to afford it.
He looked at Mingluo, feeling even more annoyed.
Minglu smiled and said, "It's so expensive, why don't we just not buy it?"
"Buy it!" Master Lin said decisively. He couldn't bear to part with his paper effigy, which had been with him his whole life. He still needed to use it to subdue demons.
The auction has begun.
The crowd began bidding.
When the bid reached 15 million, there were very few competitors left.
Just as Master Lin was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from a private room. "16 million."
"16.5 million." Master Lin was furious.
Who's this scoundrel trying to steal his things?
Minglu looked towards the private booths over there, but the people inside were hidden in the corners, and their faces were not visible at all.
She paused for a moment, pondering in her heart who this person could be.
Such a sudden offer either indicates a strong liking for the product or a deliberate attempt to inflate the price.
The two sides continued bidding, and the price soared to 20 million.
Master Lin trembled with rage. "Who is this? So... outrageous?"
Master Gu was about to ask the people around him.
Nie Yuchen glanced at his phone and, having found out who the person was, said calmly, "It's Zou Jinnian."
Zou Jinnian is like a persistent plaster, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Moreover, this method of suppressing the other party and forcing them to submit is despicable.
It's disgusting!
Master Lin: "..."
He least wanted to see Zou Jinnian right now. Last time, a grown man lost his way in Zou Jinnian's Hailong Bay. Zou Jinnian still sent him the money for exorcising the evil spirit, but he was too ashamed to accept it and returned it.
That kid was clearly targeting Mingluo on purpose today.
But he's the one who has to pay; he's caught in the middle and it's making him miserable.
Mingluo let out a long breath. This guy is still pestering her.
Originally, considering that he had been marked with the Peach Blossom Seal, she planned to wait until the effect of the seal wore off before never seeing him again.
But this guy won't listen to reason, and he's come knocking again today...
You can't blame her for that.
She said a few words to the auction staff outside the private room.
Not long after, Luo Jiahe, a top-level appraiser at the auction, entered.
As soon as Luo Jiahe entered, he looked at Ming Luo with shining eyes and said with a smile, "Miss Ming, you wanted to see me?"
"Yes! I have some items I'd like to auction. Could you please appraise them and see if they can be added to today's auction items?"
"What is it?"
Minglu calmly took out a jade bowl from a cloth bag she was carrying.
Luo Jiahe's eyes lit up the moment he saw it.
He hurriedly took out a pair of gloves from his pocket, put them on, and carefully examined them.
Such a fine jade bowl is truly rare. He took out a small flashlight from his pocket and shone it through the bowl.
Not only is the jade of excellent quality, but it is also polished so finely, thinly, and translucently.
"That's fine, we can add it in a bit. I'll have the others appraise it together. What's your price?"
"If the final price is below 10 million and the auction fails, and the starting price is 1 million, do you think that's reasonable?"
“Okay!” Luo Jiahe agreed immediately.
He immediately planned to have the item appraised.
Mingluo said calmly, "There are a few other items; let's appraise them together. The price is the same as this jade bowl."
She then took out a jade plate, a jade bottle, and a jade cup from that small bag...
Several odds and ends...
Everyone stared in astonishment. This thing worth tens of millions was just casually put into a small bag that cost only a few dollars?
Bai Xiaobai was very unhappy: Mine, mine, all of them are mine.
Minglu handed the items to Luo Jiahe and said with a smile, "Please keep this a secret, Mr. Luo, and don't reveal that I am the owner of these auction items."
