Chapter 138: The Auction
"I didn't expect that the 'Breath of Frost' could actually strengthen the cold flame attached to the 'Ice Flame Cold Gold', which I didn't expect at first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Lin Meng stretched out his palm, 'poof', a blue ice flame similar to the color of the last time appeared in Lin Meng's palm, this time the blue flame is much larger than last time, the color is also deeper, and the chill emitted is also more awe-inspiring, it seems that with the recent increase in the absorption of 'Ice Flame Cold Gold', the blue ice flame with it has also begun to become more dazzling and vigorous, silently felt it, the power of the cold flame in his hand, Lin Meng put it away.
Then Lin Meng moved to the box where the 'Giant Gold Beetle' was placed, "But this 'Giant Gold Beetle' has been like this since it was cultivated, no matter what it feeds, it can't make the 'Giant Gold Beetle' grow half a point faster." This made Lin Meng very helpless, looking at the dark red beetle that was still the size of his thumb, Lin Meng was a little anxious. However, after Lin Meng injected the 'Black Demon Worm' gene last time, the color of the carapace on its back had begun to evolve towards pitch black, and there were only a few red lines on its body.
According to the information about the cultivation of the 'Giant Gold Beetle' that he got from the Wizard of Denier, the method of how to quickly cultivate the 'Giant Gold Beetle' recorded in it, Lin Meng tried it and found that it was completely useless, Lin Meng also acquired some in the tower, how to quickly cultivate some strange insects and beasts, but it was still ineffective. In the end, Lin Meng had to attribute the reason to the 'Black Devil Worm' gene.
After thinking about it, Lin Meng casually picked up a piece of ore the size of a skull and threw it into the glass cabinet where the 'giant gold beetle' was raised. I saw that the insect swarm that had been hanging upside down in the glass cabinet in a ball shape suddenly exploded, and 'buzzed' towards the black ore on the ground.
"Ka cha! Ka cha!!" The gnawing sound was loud, and it didn't take long for the ore, which was the size of an adult's head, to be devoured. Without food, the swarm searched for a while on the ground, then flew back to its perch, hugged into a ball, and was silent.
"Hey......" Lin Meng sighed lightly, shook his head and walked to the side helplessly. Originally, Lin Meng planned that if he could quickly cultivate and reproduce the 'giant gold beetle' once, then the trip to the secret realm in three years would be more certain.
After a few days of careful consideration, Lin Meng still couldn't give up the temptation of the rare resources in the 'Crimson Secret Realm'. Deciding to fight once, Lin Meng elbowed himself with the assistance of the 'Frost Breath', and it won't take long for his mental power to reach the top apprentice level, and when he has the secret technique of 'Forging Gold Body', 'Demon Breaking Metal', 'Ice Flame Cold Gold' and various demonized items, he may not lose to those strong people on the 'Black List'.
'Giant Golden Beetle' Lin Meng is regarded as a big hole card, if he can double the number of existing insect swarms, Lin Meng will be more sure.
Lin Meng thought about his feet and stopped, and walked to a huge cloud of ice and stopped. The ice cube was more than a meter high, and many dense runes were engraved on it, exuding a cold air in all directions, and through the ice block, it could be seen that the heart of the 'lava troll' was sealed inside.
The ice cube in front of him was a 'Ice Elemental Gathering Witch Array' specially arranged by Lin Meng after returning to the tower, just to prevent the energy loss of the 'Lava Troll' heart and seal it. Lin Meng could count on using this heart to summon an elemental creature similar to the 'Flame Giant' in the ruins cave. However, so far, Lin Meng has not made any breakthroughs, and he can't use this heart, so he has to seal it temporarily.
Lin Meng touched the ice cube with his hand, and carefully felt the operation of the 'Ice Elemental Convergence Witch Array', fortunately, everything was normal, Lin Meng would use the forbidden token left by the 'Ash Warlock' Leus every once in a while to carefully check whether a new consciousness had been born in the heart of the 'Lava Troll'.
"It seems that when the auction passes, I have to propose to Wizard Bikoren to buy his advanced knowledge of 'puppetry' and 'alchemy', and before the 'Crimson Secret Realm' is opened, I will strive to complete the experiment of 'elemental creature activation' and successfully summon an elemental creature of my own, so that the trip to the secret realm will be more secure!!" Lin Meng thought silently.
A month later, in the afternoon......
The largest auction plaza in 'Thorn City' is crowded with people at the moment, coming and going. Almost all the apprentices in the 'City of Thorns' who are free have come to this auction square, of course, there are people with all kinds of thoughts, some have made up their minds to buy a lot at this auction, and they are gearing up, and some are just here with the intention of watching the excitement, so now there is still leisure to walk around and have a look. Some simply took advantage of this opportunity to set up a stall on the square outside the auction hall, which also attracted many other apprentices for a while, and some immediately learned from it, and chose a place with many people to set up a stall, which was very lively for a while. The real auction has not yet begun, but the apprentices outside have begun to stir up the atmosphere spontaneously.
In the evening, the lights are on......
Lin Meng was covered with a consistent black cloak, covering his whole body tightly, and there was a rune circle carved by Lin Meng himself inside the cloak, which was an alchemy item. This cloak was named 'Invisible Cloak' by Lin Meng, which was made by Lin Meng with a material with a special function of concealment, which was engraved with a number of runes such as 'stealth', 'Breath', and isolation from others' detection, which was an alchemy item made by Lin Meng himself, although it was nothing compared to some offensive demonized items, but it was very practical, especially when he traveled to the secret realm a few years later, at least the probability of being discovered, sneak attacked, and tracked by others was much smaller.
After Lin Meng came to the auction square, he did not rush in, but turned his head and walked to the reception on the side of the auction hall, where Lin Meng was ready to sell a few things that he didn't need for the time being.
"May I ask if you want to identify items or sell things?" Suddenly, a charming voice came from Lin Meng's side, and a young woman in a purple tight dress was looking at Lin Meng with a smile in her eyes. Lin Meng's spiritual power swept away, and he found that the woman in front of him only had the spiritual power of an intermediate apprentice. Lin Meng immediately understood that the woman in front of him should be the reception staff here.
"I don't know what is the difference between identifying items and selling things?" A hoarse voice came from under the black cloak and asked, this is Lin Meng deliberately made his voice hoarse and low after taking the 'voice changing potion'.
The woman in the purple dress felt Lin Meng's spiritual power sweeping over her unscrupulously, and her face remained unchanged and explained to Lin Meng with a sweet smile. "The fee standard for appraisal items is charged according to one percent of the value of the identified items, and the items sold are divided into two types, one is to sell things directly to our auction house, but it is lower than the market price, and the specific amount is lower to interview with the appraiser inside, and the other is that the value of the guest's things is too high, and it can be auctioned at tonight's auction, then we only charge ten percent of the commission, of course, if the final auction fails, the guest can also sell things to our auction house!!" For Lin Meng, a wizard who is dressed like this and doesn't want to be recognized, the woman doesn't know how many times she has seen it in a day today, and she has long been surprised.
"Well, okay, I see!!" Hearing this, Lin nodded violently and walked towards a room where someone had just come out of it.
"Is the guest appraising or selling items?" Lin Meng entered the door and opened a curtain to see an old man with gray hair, sitting behind the counter, looking at himself and asking with a smile.
When Lin Meng heard this, he didn't speak, and his spiritual power immediately poured out from the center of his eyebrows, and he poked into all directions of the room, and after a few breaths, Lin Meng withdrew the spiritual power he had probed, and the face hidden under the cloak also eased, Lin Meng was sure that there was no third person in the whole room except for the old man with the goatee and himself.
"Sell items!!" Lin Meng said in a low voice.
"Hehe, then please sit down and say, please put all the items you want to sell on the table, and wait for the old man to carefully evaluate the price?" The old man with the goatee felt the fluctuation of Lin Meng's mental power, and he didn't mind at all, and still smiled and said politely to Lin Meng.
When Lin Meng heard this, he didn't say a word, and with a flick of his hand, there were four more items on the table, including seven potions and a blue stone, and then he sat on the chair and stopped talking, raising his head and looking at the old man.
"Hey, this is ......" Suddenly, the old man looked at the four items on the table, his face was suspicious, and he hurriedly and carefully picked up a blue potion, brought it to his eyes and looked at it himself. Feeling the chill emanating from the potion, the old man with the goatee became more and more cautious, thought about it and took out a test tube and a small straw from the counter. The old man with the goatee cautiously unscrewed the lid of the potion bottle, sucked a little blue potion into the test tube, and then put the test tube under his nose, then closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and finally the old man opened his eyes and looked at Lin Meng for a long time before he slowly spoke.
"Guest, is this 'Breath of Frost'?"
"Since Your Excellency has identified it, then make a price, right?" Lin Meng, who was under the cloak, heard this, and said to the old man noncommittally.
"The guest's potion is too precious, it can already be used in tonight's auction, as one of the finale items, the old man gave a guaranteed price of 10,000 magic stones, I don't know what the guest thinks?" After speaking, the old man with a goatee stroked the beard on his chin and looked at Lin Meng with a smile.
"Okay, don't you want to look at a few other things?" Lin Meng thought for a while, it was already much higher than the 'Frost Breath' he sold to Lorena last time, and of course, last time Rorena also told herself about the 'Crimson Secret Realm' to compensate.
"Of course, you have to see, the guests will wait for a while, and wait for the old man to identify these things one by one!!" After speaking, the old man with the goatee picked up the items that Lin Meng put on the table one by one and carefully identified them. (To be continued.) )
