The entire audience erupted in uproar.
"There are more experts?"
They thought Lin Jinglong was already being ripped off with a bid of 3,500, but to their surprise, Qian Duolu suddenly raised the price by 1,500.
The Heavenly Silkworm Sect's secret manual is unbreakable.
The price has been raised to 5,000 points!
They easily tied tonight's record.
Everyone present was talking about it.
Lin Jinglong glanced at Qian Duolu.
"That guy is a real bastard."
Lin Tianlang looked ashamed.
"This is still my fault; I dragged you into it."
Lin Jinglong silently shook his head.
Lin Tianlang was very knowledgeable about the Dark Star Auction House and the Hidden World Alliance. He had also contributed his efforts as his assistant.
Who would have thought that Qian Duolu, that rich and powerful guy, would show up here tonight and insist on causing trouble for the two of them?
"Keep raising the price."
Lin Jinglong said calmly.
Situ Xue, standing to the side, glared coldly at Qian Duolu, who was not far away, warning him not to cause any more trouble.
But Qian Duolu seemed to be enjoying it.
“Miss Situ, it was true that I broke the auction house's rules by intercepting the dragon scale before, but now that I'm participating in the bidding, you can't blame me, can you?”
He had a smug look on his face.
Over the next five minutes, every time Lin Jinglong raised the price, Qian Duolu would argue back.
They quickly raised the bidding price to 30,000 points.
After Lin Tianlang announced the price of 30,000 points.
Everyone present fell silent.
They have become completely numb.
"This is no longer just about being taken advantage of; these two young people are acting out of spite, relying on their wealthy families!"
Lin Jinglong looked towards Qian Duolu.
Should we add more?
Qian Duolu's expression was somewhat stiff.
He hadn't expected that Lin Jinglong had so many points, and the mutual bidding had driven the price of this cultivation technique to an astronomical figure.
Thirty thousand points are worth ten Immortal-level martial arts techniques.
His authority within the family is actually limited to 30,000 points. If he were to exceed that, he fears that Lin Jinglong, lacking any sense of martial ethics, might stop raising the price.
In that case, he would suffer a great loss.
"It's only suspected to be an ancient immortal sect's inheritance. Do you really think I'd argue with you?"
Qian Duolu revealed a cold smile.
He turned to look at Lin Jinglong.
"I'm not going anymore!"
"This cultivation manual is now yours!"
"If you calculate it carefully, you've lost at least 20,000 points in tonight's auction. Since you insist on being the sucker, then I can only join everyone in watching you make a fool of yourself!"
Although Qian Duolu was forced into a situation where he was short of money, he still stubbornly mocked Lin Jinglong.
And this mockery resonated with many.
Everyone looked at Lin Jinglong as if he were a sucker, thinking that he had been tricked by Qian Duolu.
Lin Jinglong, on the other hand, remained calm and composed.
Thirty thousand points is only worth one hundred Rank 6 Martial Emperor Pills. The spiritual herbs he scavenged in the Pill Hall of the Immortal Ruins can be used to refine thousands of Martial Emperor Pills!
Even higher quality medicinal herbs are readily available.
"It's alright. I can afford to lose a mere 20,000 or 30,000 points. I, Lin Jinglong, may not have much else, but I have plenty of money!"
"you……"
Qian Duolu felt like his lines had been stolen.
He was furious.
But a sudden change occurred.
Just when everyone thought the auction was over, the abbot of Shenqing Temple, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly appeared.
Silently, they raised their bidding paddles.
"50,000 points."
"Whoosh!"
The crowd could no longer contain their shock.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
The auction house was bustling with noise.
It's like a wet market.
After raising his sign, Zhuge Qing looked at Lin Jinglong.
“I have found out that you obtained a part of a Celestial-level cultivation technique from the Celestial Ruins, so you have been investigating the secrets of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect all this time.”
"This jade slip is your only clue."
Zhuge Qing suddenly grinned.
"You either spend over 50,000 points to snatch this jade slip from me now, or you come with me to Shenqing Temple to settle our scores before you'll have a chance to get the clues!"
Zhuge Qing finally revealed his true colors.
Lin Jinglong looked over with a cold smile.
"They say a barking dog doesn't bite, but you've been watching me all night and you know how to choose the right time to strike. And with these 50,000 points, you're quite generous."
"This jade slip is yours."
Lin Jinglong signaled to Lin Tianlang that he didn't need to continue raising the sign.
The people around breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Shenji even let out a mocking laugh.
"Zhuge Qing of Shenqing Temple has become somewhat mentally unstable after losing his son. You don't need to bother with him. This thing is not worth 50,000 points at all. Just give it to him."
After Zhuge Qing won the bid, his eyes remained fixed on Lin Jinglong as he coldly said, "Remember my words: if you want to complete your cultivation technique, come to Shenqing Temple. You shouldn't be afraid, should you?"
"Lin Jinglong, please don't act rashly."
Situ Xue whispered a reminder from the side.
"Shenqing Temple is one of the most dangerous places in the capital. They have set up the Shenqing Grand Formation inside the temple, which even high-level Martial Emperors cannot do anything about. Zhuge Qing is invincible in that temple."
"He wants to lure you into a trap so he can avenge the loss of his son!"
Faced with Situ Xue's reminder.
Lin Jinglong transmitted his voice to Zhuge Qing.
"At midnight tonight, I will appear at Shenqing Temple. Wash your neck clean and wait for me. You must keep this jade slip safe. I will leave you with a complete corpse."
