Legendary Son-in-Law: The Man with Poison Talismans

The manager let out a very soft "gurgle," as if he wanted to say something but swallowed it back.

He pulled out another long, dark gray knife with a gold square guard and red tassels. When he placed it on the counter, the blade pressed against the surface, making a dull sound that made the steward unable to look away.

【Blade of the Overlord, Attack 6-38, Magic 2-13, Taoist Magic 3-14, Accuracy +4, Requires Level 46】.

The manager's eyes were fixed on the spot, and his lips were slightly parted.

He'd been in this business for over twenty years and had seen his fair share of good stuff, but weapons of the Dragon Slayer's caliber were usually only in the hands of core members of major guilds. A single one might appear at the auction house in three years. Not to mention the even rarer Overlord's Blade, whose stats were in no way inferior to the Dragon Slayer.

Before he could speak, Lin Mu reached into the Qiankun bag again.

Lin Mu then took out another necklace, a delicate chain strung with dark blue and purple beads, with an oval dark blue gemstone hanging at the bottom. The necklace was slender and exquisite, shimmering with a faint blue light.

[God of Magic Necklace, Accuracy +3, Magic 1-12, Requires 28 Magic].

He then took out 10 acorns, brown in color and about the size of a thumb, and lined them up on the counter. He also took out 10 empty spirit-gathering beads and placed them next to them.

He told the steward, "Arrange an auction for these items."

The steward looked down at the things, his eyes wide open.

Chapter 227 Leveling Up Awaits Success

What is this? He's been doing this for so many years and has never seen so many top-quality pieces of equipment appear together.

The Crimson Moon equipment was already rare enough, but the Overlord's Blade was a legendary item. He had only seen related records in ancient books and had never seen the real thing in person.

As for the acorns, he didn't recognize them at all. But he realized that the person in front of him was clearly no ordinary person.

He lowered his voice and asked cautiously, "Venerable One...may I leave my name?"

Lin Mu said, "The Sealed Demon Lin Family, Lin Yichen."

"Young Master Lin, what is the origin of these fruits?"

Lin Mu had a sudden thought. Saying it was dropped by a tree demon was definitely not going to work, so he would just make up something.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "Do you know about Demon Dragon City?"

The manager was startled, but still maintained a calm demeanor and said, "I have heard about it."

Lin Mu said, "In the map of Demon Dragon City, the deepest part is the Demon Dragon Blood Domain. There is a tree there, a tall, living tree, and the fruit it bears is it."

The manager's gaze lingered on the brown fruit for a moment, as if reassessing its importance, before he spoke: "And the effects of this fruit..."

Lin Mu said, "I'm reluctant to use it either, and I don't know its specific effects. But there's something strange about it. The usage level is 0. Why is there a requirement, but it's a requirement of level 0, instead of no level requirement?"

The manager remained silent for a long time, his eyes darting around as he processed the information. Suddenly, he nodded and quickly jotted it down in the register, his tone much more respectful than before: "Young Master Lin, these are all good items. Please rest assured, we are the largest auction house in Mengzhong, and we will definitely get you a good price."

Lin Mu didn't reply. He reached out and took the Overlord's Blade back from the counter, placing it in front of him. His tone was calm: "This one isn't for sale; it's a gift. It's for the bravest person in the world."

The manager paused for a moment, glanced at the knife, then at Lin Mu, opened his mouth as if to speak, but quickly suppressed his surprise and didn't ask any further questions. He simply said, "No problem, no problem. I'll proceed with the publicity as you suggested. We'll keep the knife for now and move it once you've finalized the selection."

Lin Mu nodded: "Please pay attention to publicity, and don't let my equipment fall into the hands of unknown people."

The manager nodded repeatedly: "Young Master Lin, rest assured, our auction house values ​​the weight of the buyers the most. I will ensure that these items end up in the right hands."

He added, "But according to the rules, we have to charge half a percent of the commission."

Lin Mu expressed his understanding: "It's only right."

At the same time, he thought that with the commission fee, the auction house would do its best to sell at a high price.

“Young Master Lin, there is a major auction in three days. If you would like, I can move it to three days later. This will surely be the most grand auction in Mengzhong in a hundred years.”

Lin Mu said, "Okay."

He didn't linger any longer and turned to leave the auction house.

The auction doesn't start for another three days. Let things develop first, and I'll get on with some serious business.

He crossed the street, turned into two alleys, and only stopped in the shadows at the corner of the wall after making sure no one was around.

He closed his eyes and made a thought.

The skull transformed into silvery-white specks of light and surged toward him, its bone armor enveloping his body layer by layer.

[MP: 369/369 → 0/369]

He then pulled out two more large bottles of magic potions and drank them down.

With the blessing of the Supreme Demon Bloodstone (Small), magic is recovering at +3, +3, +3... per second.

Once Lan recovers a bit, cast another invisibility spell, and then with a thought.

Teleport to "2. Demon Sealing Hall, 1867/1578".

A flash of white light appeared, and he was already standing deep within the Demon Sealing Hall.

Thick, dark purple demonic energy churned between the stone walls, and the torchlight flickered in the darkness.

He heard the fluttering of a moth's wings, but he didn't panic. He closed his eyes and glanced at the small map in his mind.

Several constantly lit spots of light are moving not far away; they are wedge moths.

There was another very bright spot of light, nestled deep inside, flashing rapidly.

Lin Mu was overjoyed; the Rainbow Demon Cult Master had finally been refreshed.

He glanced at the minimap and saw several slightly brighter points of light flashing in the direction of the entrance to the Purgatory Corridor, indicating that the mini-boss had also spawned.

Although the precise detection range of the skull minimap is only 100 meters, its detection range for bosses is quite wide.

He put on the teleportation ring, and with a thought, he appeared.

A flash of white light, and he landed 50 meters away in an area without any light.

I looked around and confirmed it was safe.

Then, with a thought, he dissolved the fusion and cleared out the monsters first.

The silvery-white light spots peeled off Lin Mu's body, and the skeleton stood beside him again. The skeleton was smooth and half a head shorter than Lin Mu, and looked unremarkable.

Lin Mu took out equipment from his Qiankun bag and dressed the skeleton piece by piece.

Then it patted its shoulder blade and gestured towards the darkness with its lip: "Get to work."

The skull ring clicked twice, and the dragon-slaying sword was twirled in front of him before the sword was lifted and strode into the darkness.

In the darkness, several wedge moths spotted the skeleton and pounced from the shadows. The skeleton dodged to the side, avoiding a mouthful of slime from one of the wedge moths, and unleashed a horizontal slash. An arc of light swept across, and three wedge moths were struck simultaneously, with -139, -142, -127... appearing above their heads.

The damage is still low without red poison.

Even the corner flies in the corner sensed the skeleton and were frantically spitting out bats...

From the darkness came a series of extremely faint, taut sounds... "Zheng".

Immediately afterwards, a series of stone arrows pierced the darkness and struck the skeleton's breastbone with precision.

Lin Mu didn't rush to follow and apply poison to fight the monster.

Instead, he stood still, closed his eyes, focused his mind, and glanced at the divine beast's data panel.

[Mythical Beast (Rest)]

HP: 3000/3000

Attack: 92-102

[Defense: 50-50]

[Magic Control: 30-30]

[Health Regeneration: 2 points per second]

The divine beast had been soaking in the Demon Sealing City for so long and had used three kinds of divine water. Although the divine beast's absorption efficiency was not high, it was still stronger than the divine beasts raised by ordinary Taoists.

Lin Mu silently did some calculations in his mind.

The mythical beast has 3000 HP when resting, and three times that amount in combat, which is 9000 HP. Its attack is also decent. Although it is not as high as the skeleton's attack, the difference between its upper and lower limits is small. It is tough and makes it good at pulling monsters and taking damage.

Furthermore, the attributes of the divine beast have stopped increasing in the past two days, so it seems that it has reached its limit.

After raising it for so long, it's time to take it out and give it a try.

He raised his hand, closed his eyes, and with a thought, he made a move.

Summon divine beasts.

Five protective talismans flew out from Lin Mu's waist, swirling rapidly around him, burning, and turning into ashes. The ashes swirled and condensed in the darkness, then exploded into golden light.

-

at the same time.

Inside the side room of the small courtyard in Fengmo City.

Chunxing was sitting on a low stool, with the thick iron plate she had specially commissioned a blacksmith to make in front of her. A brown fruit was fastened to the iron plate with clamps.

Chapter 228 The Rainbow Demon Cult Leader Refreshes

She held the fruit down with her left hand and carefully peeled it with a narrow-bladed shaving knife in her right.

This was a method she came up with after thinking about it for two days.

A small clump of brown powder had accumulated next to the iron plate, the result of her painstakingly shaving it off little by little since yesterday. Sunlight shone through the window paper onto it, shimmering with tiny sparkles.

She was focused on shaving with her head down when she suddenly felt a flash of light beside her.

She looked up and saw the divine beast's body crack open in the large wooden tub, releasing countless tiny golden fragments that floated on the surface of the medicinal liquid for a moment, like scattered gold foil in the wind, before fading away and disappearing one by one.

The water level dropped sharply due to the disappearance of the divine beast, revealing the water stains left by the medicine on the barrel wall. It quickly returned to calm, leaving only the faint amber luster of the medicine itself and the thin skeleton soaking inside.

Chunxing's hand trembled, and the plane made a deep cut on the surface of the acorn, almost cutting her finger.

She quickly put the fruit down, stood up, and walked briskly to the wooden tub. Looking down at the empty water, she was stunned for two seconds before realizing that the mythical beast was gone.

Qin Yumo walked quickly from the courtyard, stood outside the door, and looked past Chunxing's shoulder onto the calm water in the large wooden tub.

Chunxing turned to look at her, her voice tight: "Sister, the mythical beast..."

Qin Yumo didn't move, her gaze still fixed on the water: "It's alright, he's been recalled."

Chunxing didn't ask any more questions. She looked down at the empty wooden bucket, then back at the acorn with a deep scratch on the iron plate. She exhaled, as if letting go of the panic she had felt in that moment, and bent down to grip the plane again.
