At the same time, traveling through time, starting from subverting the war at the top

Chapter 26 Sky-high Price
Outside Black Rock City.

A wildebeest carriage came galloping towards them.

It was in this carriage that Lin Mo came to Black Rock City again after paying the entrance tax at the city gate.

This time, in addition to buying a storage ring and the elixirs needed for cultivation, Lin Mo also wanted to sell the precious medicinal herbs he had on him.

Because the medicinal herbs on him were so precious, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Lin Mo put on the black cloak and mask that he had prepared long ago, and walked towards the largest auction house in the city, the Temir Auction House.

Several fully armed guards stood on both sides of the auction house entrance.

They glanced at Lin Mo and then looked away.

Behind the auction house is the Temir family, one of the three giants of the Jiama Empire. They don't believe that anyone dares to cause trouble here.

After entering the venue, Lin Mo's eyes quickly swept across the spacious and magnificent hall, and soon he walked towards one of the rooms. On the door of the room, three large golden characters "Treasure Appraisal Room" were printed.

Pushing the door open, the room looked a little empty.

There was only one old man dozing off in a reclining chair. Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, he opened his sleepy eyes, looked at the figure wrapped in a black robe, and said, "Sir, are you planning to appraise a treasure?"

"Yeah." Lin Mo's disguised rough voice came out from under the black robe.

At the same time, Lin Mo casually took out a jade box from his arms and gently placed it on the table.

"What is this?" Blinking his eyes in confusion, the old man carefully picked up the jade box in front of him and slowly opened it. The moment the box was opened, a strong medicinal fragrance came to his face.

Smelling the medicinal fragrance, the old man's expression changed slightly, and there was no trace of sleepiness on his face anymore.

"White Spirit Ginseng Fruit!"

The old man looked at the milky white spiritual fruit in the jade box, and a moved expression appeared on his face.

The medicinal herb Bailing Ginseng Fruit is rare to begin with, and the one in front of him is the only one the old man has ever seen in terms of both age and quality.

"Sir, are you planning to auction this spiritual fruit?" The old man carefully put the white spiritual ginseng fruit back into the jade box, looked at Lin Mo, and asked respectfully.

"Well, can you arrange the fastest auction time for me?" Lin Mo said.

"Of course that's no problem. Sir, please take this to Auction Room No. 1. There's an auction going on there, and your spiritual fruit will be sold soon! If you like anything, you can buy it as well." The old man smiled and handed over a black iron plate.

Lin Mo reached out to take the iron plate, and then, led by a waitress, walked into the auction that was being held nearby.

Once inside, the bright surroundings became dim.

Lin Mo found a quiet place to sit down.

The auction hall in front of us is very large and can easily accommodate more than a thousand people. At this moment, the auction is halfway through.

Lin Mo looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a bright red cheongsam under the lights in the center of the auction hall. She was explaining the functions of the items in her hands to everyone present in her voice, which was so charming that it made people's bones melt.

Amid the woman's sweet and tender voice, the price of the item, which was not too rare, was rising at a scorching pace.

Finally, it was sold at a price far exceeding the market price.

Auctions are all about making huge profits, Lin Mo thought to himself.

Because the auction model, as long as it is operated properly, can easily arouse the auctioneer's desire to win.

Lin Mo sat below and watched silently.

During this period, he only spent 11 gold coins as planned and bought a storage ring.

"Haha, everyone, the auction house has just received a new item. I think everyone will be interested in it." The auctioneer picked up a jade box from the jade tray held by a servant beside him.

"This is the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, the main ingredient needed to refine the fourth-grade elixir, the Everlasting Life Pill. The starting price is 15 gold coins."

Fourth-grade elixir! As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, the originally noisy venue fell silent for a moment, and then erupted into even more heated discussions.

You should know that this is a fourth-grade elixir.

The auction prices of some top-level fourth-grade elixirs are over one million gold coins.

Although the Pill of Eternal Life is not a top-grade fourth-grade elixir, it is not a problem to sell it for 800,000 to 900,000 gold coins.

In refining the Everlasting Life Pill, apart from the main ingredient, the white ginseng fruit, the other auxiliary ingredients are all common medicinal materials and are not precious.

This shows how valuable this Bailing ginseng fruit is.

But precisely because of this, no one bid for a while.

In addition to its high value, there is another important reason, that is, medicinal materials are not like elixirs, which are useless to ordinary people.

Unless you are an alchemist, and generally low-level alchemists cannot use it.

When Lin Mo saw this scene, his heart sank slightly.

"15!" At this moment, someone finally shouted out the price.

It was a young female voice.

"16!" The sound of raising the price followed closely, and the person who made the bid was an old man.

At first, Lin Mo was worried that the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit would be out of stock, but now it seems that he was overthinking it.

At the beginning, only the young woman and the old man were competing.

Due to their competition, the price of Bailing Ginseng Fruit quickly rose to a sky-high price of 25 gold coins.

You have to know that even a fourth-grade alchemist cannot guarantee that he will be successful every time he tries to refine a fourth-grade pill.

If the attempt fails, all the medicinal materials will turn into dregs and will be worthless.

Therefore, this price is already the limit for Bai Ling Ginseng Fruit, unless the person buys this medicinal material back for a purpose other than refining medicine.

"27 million!"

After an old man shouted out this sky-high price, the hall suddenly fell silent and everyone was shocked by the old man's high price.

At this price, if you are lucky, you can even buy a Xuan-level skill.

The young woman who had been bidding earlier was furious and finally stopped bidding.

"Mr. Gut bid 27 gold coins. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" Looking at the calm scene, the auctioneer smiled.

"Since no one bids higher, this White Spirit Ginseng Fruit will be purchased by Mr. Gut!" Seeing that no one responded, the auctioneer decided to stop while he was ahead. He tapped the table lightly with the small hammer in his hand and decided on the buyer.

It's him.

Lin Mo should have thought that he was the one who could afford such a price in Black Rock City.

Seeing that the Bailing Ginseng Fruit was successfully auctioned, Lin Mo did not linger any longer.

The auction staff respectfully handed Lin Mo a deposit card and a storage ring that had been prepared in advance.

"Sir, the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit was auctioned for a total of 270,000 gold coins. After deducting the 2% tax and the 110,000 gold coins required for the storage ring you bid for, the remaining amount is all here."

"If you need to auction anything in the future, Temir Auction House is always here for you."

Since he had already got the things, Lin Mo didn't want to stay any longer. He said a few polite words and turned to leave.
