Elder Shenji's expression was solemn.
His eyes held a hint of anger.
However, after meeting Lin Jinglong, he suddenly realized something.
How can you be so young?
He suddenly stopped and looked at him, puzzled.
Lin Jinglong shrugged.
"So what if you're young?"
"So young, and with such a short time in cultivation, yet your spiritual power is so strong—how is this possible?"
Elder Shenji fell into deep thought.
He had never heard of such a thing before.
The secret arts of the soul often require time to cultivate, and the difficulty of cultivation far exceeds that of physical training for martial artists.
Lin Jinglong, however, disagreed.
But he didn't explain why he could explain the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Technique or any other immortal technique to a stranger.
"Alright, let's just treat it as a friendly spar."
Seeing that Lin Jinglong seemed to have no hostility and was only subconsciously spying on him, Elder Shenji realized that he had been a little too heavy-handed at the beginning.
His expression suddenly softened a little.
He turned to look at Manager Li, who was running towards him.
"For the sake of those two Emperor Blood Pills, I will let your offense go unpunished. However, you will need to learn some rules in the Dark Star Auction House from now on."
Lin Jinglong nodded slightly.
He went to spy on them before because he was thinking about his own safety; ultimately, he didn't trust them.
But upon meeting the old man, they found that apart from his bad temper, he was not hostile.
Lin Jinglong planned to talk to them.
He then placed the two Emperor Blood Pills on the table and glanced at Elder Shenji opposite him.
"I wonder if your auction house would be willing to put these two pills up for auction?"
"These two pills cannot be auctioned."
Elder Shenji shook his head repeatedly.
"Are you afraid of the Lin family?"
Lin Jinglong looked at him suspiciously.
But the other party kept shaking their head.
“We’re not afraid of the Lin family. What I mean is, if you’re willing, you can sell these two pills to us directly. As for the points, you can name your price.”
Manager Li suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Let Lin Jinglong name his price?
I'm afraid they're going to ask for an astronomical price!
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianlang's eyes lit up.
He pulled Lin Jinglong aside to explain.
"This Elder Shenji is the deacon elder of the Dark Star Auction House during this period, and he is also a high-level Martial Emperor. With his abilities, if he is interested in the Emperor Blood Pill, he can definitely sell it for a high price."
How many points do you recommend?
"Ten thousand!"
Lin Tianlang said with great certainty.
The three thousand points he was given were enough to buy an ordinary immortal-level martial arts skill, while ten thousand points were an astronomical figure!
Lin Jinglong nodded slightly.
The figure was relayed to two people at the auction house.
Elder Shenji appeared quite composed.
"Not enough money!"
"What did you say?"
Lin Jinglong raised his voice.
"You asked me to name my price so confidently, I thought you had a lot of points, but you're telling me you don't have enough money?"
Faced with Lin Jinglong's questioning.
Elder Shenji scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
He said to the troubled manager Li, "The same old rule applies: put it on my tab, and I'll pay it back soon."
"The employer's side..."
"Let me explain. These two Blood Pills weren't bought by me; they were bought by someone higher up. Don't waste your breath on me!"
Elder Shenji coldly rebuked him.
Under his pressure, Manager Li had no choice but to agree to the deal and transfer 10,000 points to Lin Jinglong's name.
They also gave him an auction house black card.
"All future transactions will be conducted using this membership card. Please keep it safe, Mr. Lin."
Manager Li looked at Lin Jinglong with envy.
That's a whopping 10,000 points!
He met so many people at the auction house, and only a very small number of them had 10,000 points in their accounts.
It is usually only high-ranking Martial Emperors.
Only then can one accumulate such savings!
Even Lin Jinglong didn't expect that the Emperor Blood Pill would sell so well. According to Lin Tianlang's introduction, these two pills are worth more than three Immortal-level martial arts techniques.
"No wonder, after all, the Lin family's bloodline talent is not much different from immortal-level cultivation techniques. However, this pill can only activate the bloodline, but there is no matching cultivation technique. I wonder what Elder Shenji and the people behind him are thinking?"
Lin Jinglong was somewhat curious about their background.
He then inquired about the Heavenly Silkworm Manual. Three days later, the news of the auction had already spread throughout Kyoto and other places.
Each item up for auction has a description.
Lin Jinglong was only interested in the Heavenly Silkworm Sect's secret manual.
Before Steward Li could speak...
Elder Shenji, who was standing to the side, was taken aback for a moment.
"So you're interested in that thing, but it's just a legend. Even if you pay a high price to buy it, it probably won't make any sense."
"What's the meaning?"
Lin Jinglong already knew.
That manual wasn't actually a martial arts technique; it contained records of other things. But according to the old man, there was no point in taking a picture of it.
He couldn't stand that.
After all, this was the first time they had encountered anything related to the Heavenly Silkworm Sect since leaving the Immortal Ruins.
That's the key to finding all six transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm!
The old man of the divine strategist said with emotion, "I am an elder of the Dark Star Auction House. I personally inspect every item that is up for auction as long as its value reaches a certain level."
"I've already read that manual."
"Although it bears the name of an ancient immortal sect's inheritance, it is actually just a blank book. Even if you win the bid, you won't know what's inside."
