Situ Pojun actually sent a telepathic message to Shang Lin, saying in a very sincere tone, "When you want to buy anything you like, just take a picture. I'll pay for it. You don't have to pay it back. You can use other things to offset the cost, such as pills or robes."
Shang Lin, "..."
Is Director Situ really that magnanimous?
However, there aren't many things that catch my eye, so I'll just keep looking for now!
But instead she said, "Thank you, then I won't be polite."
Situ Pojun immediately laughed and said, "Don't be so polite."
Next, several more antiques were auctioned off, but Shang Lin watched with little interest. Not only him, but even Situ Pojun watched silently, without any intention of participating.
In fact, there aren't many things that catch Situ Pojun's eye, especially ordinary antiques. Besides, he now controls a large area of sea, so he can do business with no capital.
The host on stage suddenly started to warm up the atmosphere and get everyone involved, announcing, "Next, we will show you the most precious treasure of this auction—a mermaid pearl imbued with dragon energy!"
Shang Lin immediately perked up and subconsciously glanced at Situ Pojun, "There really is!"
Situ Pojun was also a little surprised. "Yes, I didn't expect it either. I thought it was just a gimmick for the auction or just a rumor."
As soon as the host finished speaking, a staff member carefully carried in a glass box. Inside the box, a mermaid pearl, about the size of a baby's fist and emitting a lustrous glow, hung in the center.
The host began his enthusiastic introduction again, but Shang Lin stared intently at the mermaid pearl. Why did it look so different from the mermaid pearls he remembered? Could it be that the mermaids in the human world and the cultivation world are different?
Shang Lin subconsciously looked at Situ Pojun and simultaneously transmitted his voice to him, "Is this real or fake? And I didn't sense any dragon energy! Could it be because of that glass box that my judgment was affected?"
Situ Pojun didn't look at Shang Lin, his gaze remained fixed on the mermaid pearl, but he also responded with a telepathic message: "This is not a mermaid pearl, it should be the inner core of some kind of demon."
Shang Lin was taken aback. An inner core?!
Since transmigrating to the human realm, if I remember correctly, this is the first time I've ever heard the words "inner core," let alone seen one in person. Moreover, the human realm has already entered the Dharma-ending Age, and the chances of a mermaid pearl existing are much greater than those of an inner core.
After all, the great demons of the human realm have basically disappeared, and of those who have survived by chance, how many possess an inner core? Therefore, obtaining an inner core is as difficult as ascending to heaven!
So, is it that ordinary humans don't know about the inner core and therefore regard it as the legendary mermaid pearl, or is the mermaid pearl being used to replace the inner core of some kind of demon as a gimmick for the auction?
After all, demon cores don't sound as prestigious as mermaid pearls, but for whatever reason, inner cores are still valuable. Thus, Sect Master Shang, who had been relegated to the background since the auction began, decisively raised his paddle.
The gimmick of the dragon-infused mermaid pearl had already been fully utilized, so naturally, Shang Lin wasn't the only one who wanted it.
Situ Pojun suddenly sent a telepathic message to Shang Lin, saying, "The current situation can't be bought with more money, and I have a feeling there's a conspiracy at play."
Shang Lin paused, then subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"
Situ Pojun spoke frankly, "I don't know, it's just a feeling."
Even the feelings of ordinary humans in certain special circumstances cannot be ignored, let alone those of cultivators. Therefore, Shang Lin hurriedly asked, "Then shall we not film?"
Situ Pojun nodded slightly, "Mm."
