WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 105: Establishment of Wasting Money

Under the fiery gazes of the crowd, several beautiful women walked on the auction stage. The person leading them was a fat middle-aged man wearing an embroidered gown, who all smiled as he clenched his hands respectfully towards the surrounding guests.

“Welcome all guests at our Thousand Gold Auction House auction. I hope everyone can return home with satisfaction today.”

The fatty was beaming in the crowd as he gave his opening speech. However, when he saw the somewhat impatient expressions of the crowd, he laughed out loud and without further ado, he immediately proceeded to the main part of the auction.

“Everything, the first item in our auction today was provided by the head of our Thousand Gold Association, the 4th Seal Symbol Master, the work of Grandmaster Ruo, Autumn Scale Sword.”

Behind the fat one, a servant girl presented a silver platter. On top of the silver plate was a light yellow long sword that was about two feet long. The sword glittered as if it was covered in many scales and on its surface, a row of symbols was faintly visible. A strange chill faintly pulsed from the sword.

“I won't give you a wasted introduction about Grandmaster Ruo, I'm sure everyone knows about this legendary figure. This Autumn Scale Sword was personally written by Grandmaster Ruo and could be rated as an extremely sharp and powerful sword. Even an expert who used Yuan Power to protect his body, would find it very difficult to defend against him, a very deadly weapon.”

“The bid for this sword will start from five hundred Yang Yuan Stones. If anyone is interested, please start.” After finishing his explanation, the fatty smirked as he clasped his hands towards the surrounding crowd.

"Five hundred Yang Yuan Stones is equivalent to fifty Yang Yuan Pills ..."

When Lin Dong heard this price, his lips involuntarily trembled. He knew that this so-called "Autumn Scale Sword" was indeed a good weapon. However, it was definitely not worth the price. The reason why it is so expensive, is likely because its creators are so famous.

“Grandmaster Ruo? Most likely because of that Grandmaster Ruo. Thinking that he was actually the 4th Seal Symbol Master, truly a master.” While he regretted the expensive price, Lin Dong muttered to himself.

Currently, there were already a few people scrambling to bid for the "Autumn Scale Sword". It seemed like Grandmaster Ruo's name was practically a gold-lettered board.

Lin Dong was not too interested in this "Autumn Scale Sword. After all, he was not good at using swords. So, even if he bought it, he would not find much use for it. This reason allowed him to observe quietly, as the price instantly skyrocketed to eight hundred Yang Yuan Stones while he was constantly sighing.

This first auction item finally stopped at eight hundred and fifty Yang Yuan Stones. The fat guy was quite satisfied with the price. After smiling and congratulating the winner, he quickly moved on to the next auction article.

The second auction article was a type of Level 3 Martial Art that could not be considered a top-tier item. Thus, the initial bid was set at a hundred Yang Yuan Stones. The number of bidders this time around was clearly a fraction of before and in the end, the second item was sold for only a hundred and fifty Yang Yuan Stones.

After experiencing the first few auctions, Lin Dong, who had yet to see a decent item began to feel the novelty of the auction fade away. He leaned back in his chair and once again closed his eyes to rest while waiting for the appearance of the things he needed.

The atmosphere of the auction continued to go on quite lively, after all, quite a number of people were here and after about ten more items were auctioned off, the resting Lin Ding finally found the item he needed.

Void Spirit Grass, Elixir Grade 5 with Mental Energy nutritional properties. Initial bid: two hundred Yang Yuan Stones.

This simple introduction caused Lin Dong's tightly shut eyes to open wide as he solemnly stared at the jade box on the auction stage that contained Elixir.

Elixir like this will definitely be in great demand. Especially this kind of high-class Elixir. Lin Dong had never seen a Class 5 Elixir before in Qingyang City, therefore, when this item was taken out, it attracted a lot of bids from the crowd. In less than a minute, the bid had increased to three hundred Yang Yuan Stones.

With regards to the bidder raising the price, Lin Dong's brows furrowed slightly, but he did not immediately join in and instead observed the situation calmly.

The price of the Void Spirit Grass continued to rise, but the speed of this increase clearly began to slow down. A short while later, only two people were left in the bidding competition, however, the price had yet to break the five hundred Yang Yuan Stone mark.

"Six hundred Yang Yuan Stones."

A voice suddenly sounded about the auction, causing many people to be stunned for a while. Their gazes followed that voice and they found a figure wearing a straw hat before quickly shifting away, not caring too much about this new competitor.

The one who had made the last bid was naturally Lin Dong. When they saw that the price had been raised by a hundred Yang Yuan Stones, the other two bidders could only sit down in annoyance. From Lin Dong's appearance, he was clearly rich and arrogant. It would probably be futile to continue fighting with him.

After the two of them gave up, the fatty asked three times before concluding the transaction. And the "Void Spirit Grass" would be considered to end up in Lin Dong's bag.

“Fiuh..”.

After the successful end to that auction, Lin Dong gently sighed. After all, it seemed like he had finally gotten something from the auction today.

After successfully obtaining the nourishing Grade 5 Elixir Mental Energy, Lin Dong once again chose to quietly observe. Then, he once again extravagantly moved and used three thousand five hundred Yang Yuan Stones to consecutively purchase four Grade 5 Elixir. Overall, a fairly abundant harvest indeed.

"Yan City is indeed incomparable to Qingyang City ..."

In this short half an hour, Lin Dong had instantly disposed of four hundred Yang Yuan Pills, even he felt heartache with this amount. It was only here that he finally found out what exactly the money-wasting establishment was.

However, as long as he could ascend to the 2nd Seal Symbol Master in two months, it would be worth it no matter how great the price was!

"I am currently left with six hundred Yang Yuan Pills, it seems like I should use them more sparingly ..." Lin Dong counted the Yang Yuan Pills he had left behind that had shrunk to almost half his initial amount and subconsciously licked his lips.

“Hehe, the next auction item is an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill. I'm sure some Symbol Masters would be very interested in him. The initial bid will start from a thousand Yang Yuan.” Stones

Just as Lin Dong decided whether it was time to leave, the sound from the auction stage caused his body that was about to rise to suddenly become stiff.

"Secret Spirit Skills Level Essence ..."

Under the straw hat, Lin Dong lightly licked his lips. As expected of the extremely famous Yan City auction house. To think that an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill would actually appear at this auction. Even the late Gu Ying did not possess such an item.

What Lin Dong lacked the most right now was this kind of offensive Mental Energy skill!

"Thousand hundred Yang Yuan Stones!"

"A thousand two hundred!"

“……”

As he stared at the scene that was practically on fire at that moment, Lin Dong's eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed like there were quite a number of people here who were interested in this Level Essence Secret Spirit Skill.

While everyone was fighting over the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill in the auction, several gazes were also watching from the VIP booth to one side.

"I didn't expect that there was actually someone who would auction off an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill." Grandmaster Ruo in grey robes was a little astonished as he glanced at the auction with a smile.

"Hehe, if Grandmaster Ruo is interested, Xuan Su will send someone to buy it." Sitting on one side in a red dress was a rather graceful woman who wore a sweet smile on her face as she said.

"It's okay. Although the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill was not bad, to this old man, it was not a must-have item. ” Grandmaster Ruo chuckled while shaking his head.

"Right, given Grandmaster Ruo's current strength, the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill didn't have much traction." The woman in the red dress had a small smile on her lips as she replied.

Grandmaster Ruo laughed in response, just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly gasped in shock. He stared at the corner of the auction area and said: "This guy is really rich, really rich, to think that he had actually spent two thousand and five hundred Yang Yuan Stones to purchase these Essence Level Secret Spirit Skills. From what I saw from Elixir that he bought earlier, they all have the nutritional properties of Mental Energy. It seemed like this fellow should also be a Symbol Master. ”

Upon hearing these words, the woman in red and the young lady in green also directed their gaze to the same corner of the auction area. That place was exactly where Lin Dong was sitting.

“Hmmm, this person's Mental Energy seems a little familiar..”.

Grandmaster Ruo watched the figure attentively as his brows slightly raised. Immediately after, with the boost of his mind, a thread of Mental Energy quickly flowed out and immediately approached Lin Dong's body.

In the instance when his Mental Energy spread to Lin Dong's body, Lin Dong, who was somewhat pleased by the fact that he had just managed to obtain an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill, was quite happy, it suddenly felt Mental Energy scan his body as his expression suddenly changed. .

In the same example, a trace of Mental Energy gushed out from Lin Dong's Niwan Palace as if it was a conditioned reflex before hurriedly wrapping around his body. However, when his Mental Energy gushed out, he already knew that he was a split second late. Now, his appearance was likely known to the owner of that strand of Mental Energy.

While Lin Dong furrowed his brows, in the VIP booth, Grandmaster Ruo who was originally smiling suddenly stood up, a thick shock in his eyes. His appearance caused the two women beside him to be shocked for a while.

"To think that it was him ?!"
