I Inherit An Auction House At The Start, Trillion Times Rebate!

Chapter 247: Holding An Auction

“What did you just say? You’re going to hold an auction here?”

Su Hanhai was stunned. He was extremely shocked when he heard Lin Mo’s plan.

They were in a ruin, and aside from the usual dangers that came with ruins, there was also the matter of others stealing his goods away to worry about.

Holding an auction here could be said to be the height of folly.

“There’s nothing I can do about it. I need spiritual stones, a lot a lot of spiritual stones.” Lin Mo said helplessly.

The Origin Spirit Puppet required spiritual stones, his cultivation required spiritual stones, and now, Lin Die also needed spiritual stones.

Not only that, they also needed all sorts of natural treasures, spirit herbs, spirit insects, and spirit pills. They could not do without any of these resources.

Moreover, Lin Mo also needed a new weapon.

He felt a great heartache over the destruction of Plain White Snow. In order to obtain a new weapon in the least time possible, the only option he had was to conduct an auction.

“I hope that the rebates from the auction will give me something useful.”

Lin Mo muttered to himself. At the same time, he had already formulated a plan in his heart. If he was going to hold the auction, he would need to hold a big one.

There were quite a number of factions that had entered the ruins. Among them, there was no lack of peerless geniuses, Holy Lands, or powerful clans.

“Oh right, the people from the Purple Moon Holy Land have also come to the ruins. I’ve previously joined hands with their elders to break through a magic array,” Su Hanhai stated out loud.

......

If Lin Mo insisted and was willing to promise the folks from the Purple Moon Holy Land some benefits, Su Hanhai was certain that they would lend a hand.

“Who else can you pull over?” Lin Mo asked. In normal circumstances, having a Holy Land to back him up would be more than enough.

However, Lin Mo had offended quite a number of people, and thus, he would like as many heavy hitters as possible to support him.

“Actually, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. If you can get that Elder Mo from the imperial family to participate, all your worries would be for naught.”

If the royal family were to attend his auction, no one would dare to cause any trouble to him.

However, if that was the case, some of the top-grade treasures might not be able to be sold at a high price.

After all, not many people would dare to compete against the royal family.

“It’s not impossible,” Lin Mo said.

He knew what Elder Mo’s goal was.

He was here to collect high-quality treasures and to ensure that those outside the royal family were unable to secure any good treasures.

If he could manage to draw a crowd to his auction, he was certain that Elder Mo would attend as well. If that were the case, he could request for Elder Mo’s assistance...

“Bai Luo, go and find Qianqian together with Elder Su to seek her help.”

“Yan Rong, you and I are going to ask for the Purple Moon Holy Land’s help instead.”

Lin Mo instructed with a smile, but in the next moment, Bai Luo rolled his eyes at him.

“Are you trying to wring me of all my worth before I leave?” Bai Luo glared at Lin Mo.

“Are we not friends? This had better be worth my trouble.” Bai Luo added.

“Cough cough, when the time comes, I will give you a batch of cultivation resources. I guarantee you that it will be bountiful.” Lin Mo coughed dryly and said.

In the end, under Su Hanhai’s shocked gaze, Lin Mo had promised to hand Bai Luo any spirit-grade treasures she desired. Only then, did Bai Luo felt satisfied.

The group split into two subgroups. Navigating based on the map that Su Hanhai had given him, Lin Mo led Yan Rong and Lin Die to the residence of the Purple Moon Holy Land.

“This isn’t bad. They aren’t too far from where we were located.” Lin Mo grinned. He looked at an ancient temple in front of him and walked forward.

“Stop.”

Just as he was about to walk up into the building, two female disciples guarding the door stopped Lin Mo.

“This is the territory of the Purple Moon Holy Land. Please leave.” The two female disciples warned.

“I am Lin Mo. I am here to visit under the guidance of the Patriarch of the Su family.”

Lin Mo cupped his fists and introduced himself.

“You’re Lin Mo?” The two women widened their eyes in surprise as they sized Lin Mo up.

“Hold on.”

With that, the two of them turned around and entered the temple.

There were a dozen or so women with veils across their faces sitting cross-legged within the temple.

Despite the veils, Lin Mo could tell from the aura that they emitted that these dozen or so females possessed enough beauty to ruin a nation...

“Lin Mo, isn’t he one of the eighth prince’s underlings?” An old woman walked over from within the temple and asked in puzzlement.

“He said that he came to visit under the suggestion of Elder Su,” said the two disciples.

“There was a point in time when we had sought for the eighth prince’s protection, but we got rejected. So, why is this Lin Mo appearing before us now?” The old woman muttered to herself.

Her eyes were filled with doubt, but she dared not voice her thoughts aloud.

Lin Mo’s identity was sensitive, and coupled with his extraordinary talent, he was not one to be underestimated.

After thinking for a moment, she nodded and invited him in.

Lin Mo felt a little out of place within the temple, since the disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were all women, and each of them was as beautiful as a flower.

All those charming gazes focusing on him had made him rather uncomfortable.

“Little friend Lin Mo, why have you come here?”

The old woman said with a respectful attitude. What shocked Lin Mo was that the old woman’s strength rivaled Su Hanhai’s.

With the amount of power she wielded, Lin Mo was certain that she held a rather high position within the Purple Moon Holy Land. As such, he could not for the life of him, figure out why she was being this courteous towards him.

Qin Yu, who was at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm, was also a first-class expert within the Yanhuang Divine Empire.

Of course, this was assuming that no Nirvana Realm experts had existed within the Imperial Capital.

Su Hanhai had informed Lin Mo that she was the leader of the Purple Moon Holy Land’s current expedition team, as well as the fifth elder of the Holy Land.

“I wish to collaborate with the Purple Moon Holy Land. If you’re curious about the payment, how does a tier 9 spear technique manual and a tier 9 sword technique manual sound?”

The moment he opened his mouth, Lin Mo announced his goal for being there.

Two tier 9 manuals were a splendid payment, and even for a Holy Land, they were resources that could not be ignored.

People like Yuan Cang who possessed spirit-grade martial art techniques had either received it from the royal family, or as an heirloom from their ancestors.

However, from the looks of it, the Purple Moon Holy Land did not seem to possess the resources to nurture their young talents.

After all, even the strongest member of the Purple Moon Holy Land, who was their Holy Daughter, had only ranked within the top 40 in the Yanhuang Board of Fame.

She was already ranked last among the holy children of all the Holy Lands. Should this situation persist, there was a high chance that the Purple Moon Holy Land faced destruction.

“Two tier 9 martial art manuals?”

The disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were stunned by what they just heard. Those who could casually take out such resources were truly beings to be feared.

As far as the disciples of the Purple Moon Holy Land were concerned, the eighth prince had regarded Lin Mo rather highly...

“In that case, may I know what you expect of the Purple Moon Holy Land?” Qin Yu asked.

“I plan to hold a large-scale auction in the ancient city, and I wish for Elder Qin Yu to watch over the event.”

At the same time, Lin Mo also expressed that the auction would benefit them greatly as well.

So long as they possessed enough spiritual stones or treasures to be exchanged, they were in a for a good treat.

“Forgive me for being blunt, but two tier 31 cultivators is hardly enough to hold back an entire city-wide crowd.” Qin Yu shook her head.

She was very tempted by Lin Mo’s conditions, but she could not fulfill his demands.

Heck, the scope of Lin Mo’s task was so huge that unless one was a Nirvana Realm cultivator, it would be simply impossible to carry out.

If she was acting alone, she would gladly take on the risk.

However, she was the fifth elder of the Purple Moon Holy Land. This was no longer just about her.
