NOVPUBChapter 937: Chapter 498: Return Fully Loaded Chapter 937: Chapter 498: Return Fully Loaded On this clear morning,
The Qingshui Market was bustling with people. A large number of cultivators walked in pairs, all heading toward the central auction house of the market.
Today was the day of the auction, and Lin Tianming had left his retreat early in the morning to wait for Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai to set off together.
At this time, Lin Shikang and Ye Pinghai came out together, appearing in the courtyard.
Upon seeing the newcomers, Lin Tianming quickly went up to greet them.
“Third Grandfather, Grandpa Sea, you two elders seem to be in good spirits!”
“Hehe…”
Lin Shikang smiled and then explained, “Everything has been going smoothly so far. Once the auction is over, we just need to take a detour to the Golden Sword Mountain Gate, and then we can head home.”
“Having been away from the Lin Family for a year, I am now about to embark on the return journey, so of course, my mood is good.”
...
Hearing this, Lin Tianming also smiled and joked for a bit.
After exchanging a few courtesies, the three left the dwelling together, heading toward the auction.
Before long,
They arrived at the auction venue. Under the guidance of a Zhenyang Sect disciple, they were taken to a reception hall on the highest level.
There, Chen Maohua had already arrived and was comfortably sitting on a jade chair, sipping Spiritual Tea.
The four greeted each other and then gathered to chat leisurely, waiting for Zhou Yunxiao and a few other companions to arrive.
In less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Zhou Yunxiao and the others arrived.
As soon as they entered, Lin Tianming and the others quickly got up to greet them, very courteously.
With the arrival of Zhou Yunxiao and his group, there were now nine Golden Core Stage cultivators in the reception room, accounting for a significant part of the Wei Kingdom’s top cultivators.
Then, those present greeted each other and chatted for a while.
Meanwhile, the two floors below them in the venue were already noisy with people. A large number of cultivators had come from afar just to attend this grand auction.
Moreover, with the Zhenyang Sect releasing some information about the treasures beforehand and the gathering of numerous Golden Core experts, the auction became even more majestic.
Now, as the lower-level cultivator’s auction proceeded as scheduled, some Lin Family Members also participated in it.
With the harvest of the past year, the Lin Family Members had been busy, participating in the bidding multiple times and successfully acquiring numerous precious treasures.
On the third floor of the auction house, however, where Lin Tianming and his group were because there were not many of them and they all knew each other the nominal auction had turned into an exchange of equals.
Under the leadership of Lu Xingfeng, everyone brought out impressive treasures, with the lowest items being of the Third Order.
Clearly, with the recent overthrow of the Golden Sword Sect, all the major powers and individuals had obtained a substantial amount of spoils of war.
Thus, the treasures brought out at this so-called auction were all of considerable value, and everyone seemed well-prepared.
Otherwise, in normal times, if someone had a valuable treasure, they would cherish it and keep it to themselves, and they wouldn’t want to part with it unless they were in dire need of something else.
Lin Tianming, among others, had many treasures on him, the vast majority of which were spoils from killing those few people.
With the backing of several Golden Core cultivator households, his wealth was profound, certainly enough to overwhelmingly dominate most of his peers. Perhaps even an established powerful cultivator like Chen Jingtian couldn’t compare with him.
In fact, it was possible that even the leaders of factions like Zhou Yunxiao and Lu Xingfeng wouldn’t dare claim to surpass him in terms of personal wealth.
In this case, Lin Tianming was not stingy and brought out several high-value Third Grade Treasures that were rare.
As the hosts and strongest of the Wei Kingdom, especially Lu Xingfeng, brought out several good items for this occasion.
The others brought at least two and at most four treasures for the exchange.
As for the exchange items, they were essentially treasures of equivalent value. Even if some items differed slightly in value, the difference would be made up with Medium-grade Spirit Stones or other treasures.
Among the many treasures, one Blood Jade Ginseng and one piece of Fire Essence Gold particularly aroused Lin Tianming’s interest.
The reason for this was that Blood Jade Ginseng could slightly enhance one’s cultivation, and although it wasn’t very effective for Golden Core Mid-Late Stage cultivators, it was perfect for an early-stage cultivator like Lin Tianming.
As it is known, in the Wei Kingdom’s Cultivation World at this time, the main reliance for Golden Core Stage cultivators to enhance their cultivation were elixirs. A natural Spirit Fruit like Blood Jade Ginseng was definitely much stronger than a Yuxu Pill.
Therefore, such treasures that could directly enhance cultivation were very rare and extremely precious.
Lu Xingfeng was willing to offer this Blood Jade Ginseng, showing his intention to make this exchange a success.
As for the piece of Fire Essence Gold, it came from Zhou Yunxiao.
Because Fire Essence Gold is an excellent Artifact Refining material that is seldom seen, its value amongst Third Order Spiritual Ore is also quite solid.
Seeing these two items, Lin Tianming was highly covetous.
In his eyes, the Blood Jade Ginseng could be consumed to enhance cultivation, and the Fire Essence Gold could be used in Artifact Refining, both categories of treasures he urgently needed. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
So, with his arrangements, he also brought out several high-value treasures that he did not need.
Added with several thousand Medium-grade Spirit Stones, he finally managed to exchange for these two treasures with Lu Xingfeng and Zhou Yunxiao.
Following that, Lin Shikang and the others also found their gains, trying to exchange the treasures they temporarily didn’t need for those suitable for themselves.
As time slowly passed, after spending nearly half a day, the exchange finally came to a successful conclusion.
