Clan Immortal Cultivation: I Can See Hints-Chapter 732 - 469 Repeated Failures, Open Conspiracy (Two in One, Subscription for Monthly Pass)_2
Whether they were discovered or not, it did not affect their investigation of the Lin Family.
He also ran out of time, as the appearance of the Lin Family's daughter's red wine would inevitably attract the attention of the high-level members of the Coral Alliance.
If they stayed here and did not go to the Dragon Nest, then everyone would know their intentions.
At that time, even if they were able to stay on Jiuyue Island, they would be surrounded by a multitude of fellow cultivators.
"The following probes will continue, only this time we won't look at the results, just let Yun Chengzi freely perform!"
As he spoke, Fengxing True Person suddenly produced some five-colored blood. If Lin Shiming were here, he would find the blood similar to that of the Chameleon Flood Dragon he had slain.
When the dragon blood was dropped into the Bronze Long Lamp, it immediately began to burn intensely, and the emanating spirit mist began to churn, transforming from white spirit mist into five-colored spirit mist.
The entire room's atmosphere changed drastically.
In the next moment, the bronze dragon head suddenly turned into a five-colored pattern, and even grew the body, claws, and tail of a flood dragon.
It was as if the bronze dragon head had come to life.
What appeared before the True Persons was a Fourth Rank late-stage Chameleon Flood Dragon, rather than a stiff bronze statue.
The Chameleon Flood Dragon continuously swam about; one could only see the sea region's images reeling backwards, flowing swiftly past on both sides, with great velocity, and the area it swam in was none other than close to Lin Family's Shuangmu Island.
Clearly, Fengxing True Person had come prepared.
...
The auction continued, and the Beast Rearing Pill Recipe for Fourth Rank was taken by a Purple Mansion Hermit, selling for thirty-two thousand.
Lin Houyuan looked regretful. Although he was not sure why the Lin Family had given up, he did not say more. As a businessman, he knew better than to let his thoughts show on his face.
"Next up for auction is the recipe for Fourth Rank Intermediate Grade Sturgeon Dragon Liquor, also provided by Fengxing Commerce. This liquor recipe uses deep-sea sturgeons and flood dragons in its brewing process. The taste is rich and intense, and it greatly enhances the physical body, truly a divine medicine. Body Cultivators who are interested can start bidding!" Lin Houyuan continued to the side of a new female cultivator, removed the brocade cloth, and the Jade Slip revealed a faint glimpse.
The latter part was sealed with secret arts, accessible only by the original owner of the Jade Slip.
"The starting bid is ten thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than five hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Fifteen thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!"
This time, again a Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator directly added five thousand to the price.
And Lin Shiming also stood up once more.
"Twenty thousand!"
With just two increases in the bid, several of the Body Cultivators who had ideas instantly stopped.
This time Lin Shiming's momentum was even more formidable, as if he would not rest until he obtained it.
The opposing Purple Mansion cultivator also shouted a new bid, not showing any weakness, and this time not even being polite with Lin Shiming.
"Twenty-three thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!"
"Twenty-eight thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Shiming added another five thousand.
His face showed no expression, as if the Spirit Stones he mentioned were Inferior Grade Spirit Stones.
"Twenty-nine thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!" the Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator said with a flushed face.
"Thirty-four thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Shiming once again raised the bid by five thousand, his momentum clearly different this time.
And many Loose Cultivators also knew that the Lin Family had slain many Flood Dragons and Python Great Demons.
They indeed needed this recipe for Sturgeon Dragon Liquor.
Clearly, he was determined to win.
What surprised everyone, though, was that the Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator spoke up again:
"Thirty-five thousand Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!"
Inside the auction booth, many cultivators were shocked, and some had already guessed the identity of the third-floor Purple Mansion cultivator.
This was the Lin Family's auction, after all!
"Could it be that the Fengxing Commerce's own cultivator is buying from themselves?" In the hall, some cultivators raised doubts.
Especially since the Beast Nurturing Pill recipe from before was the same case.
It seemed even more likely.
Of course, what they did not know at the moment was that inside the third-floor private box, Yun Chengzi also looked puzzled.
They had arranged for cultivators to bid, but at this moment, it seemed like there was no need to arrange for it anymore.
A Purple Mansion cultivator had already taken the initiative to test the Lin Family.
He looked at the Crystal Ball, which was no longer glowing.
The True Persons over there seemed to have lost interest in this side as well.
The young man beside him also looked over, full of questions.
Because, even he was wondering if that Purple Mansion Loose Cultivator was secretly arranged by Yun Chengzi.
Sturgeon Dragon Liquor was almost a must-win for the Lin Family.
And the price on the floor responded accordingly.
Lin Shiming bid thirty-eight thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones.
But the bidding hadn't ended yet.
"Forty thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones!" the Purple Mansion cultivator spoke up again.
In the Lin Family's private box, there was no further sound.
Lin Shiming gave up again.
With this forfeiture, it also meant that the Lin Family had missed another pill recipe.
To the cultivators present, it appeared as if Fengxing Commercial Alliance was simply buying from themselves, with no real intention to sell the pill or liquor recipes.
In Yun Chengzi's box, he sighed and looked at the younger person:
"Arrange for those cultivators to stop bidding, and let the Lin Family get the Wind Scaled Python's offspring!"
This chapter is updat𝓮d by freēnovelkiss.com.
With those True Persons not watching, it signified that the Lin Family wouldn't face much trouble; even if they kept watching, there wouldn't be much to discern.
However, if the Lin Family failed to obtain this auction item again, it would be intriguing whether Fengxing Commercial Alliance truly intended to ally with them.
They from Nine Dragon Island had entered Jiuyue Island by hitching a ride with the trade convoy alliance.
If an item didn't fall into the Lin Family's hands, then Red Leaf True Person would have to speak up.
Besides, Lin Shiming was backed by spirit cultivation masters and Tianliu Island.
Representing the Coral Alliance Shoucheng Lineage, in that case, Nine Dragon Island can forget about entering the Outer Sea again.
The implications were enormous.
The young person nodded, his fingers moving slightly, and a piece of Spirit Jade began to change. The transformation was so subtle, it was invisible to the naked eye of outsiders.
And Divine Sense need not be mentioned; they had a blocking formation.
After all arrangements were made, he looked towards the adjacent box, his eyes filled with a fighting spirit.
...
Lin Houyuan looked regretful. Even for him, with his deep calculations, his complexion was somewhat unsightly.
Lin Shiming's bidding in increments of five thousand clearly showed his irritation, but he still lost to someone else.
His face also looked unpleasant.
But they were the hosts of the auction, and it wasn't possible to trouble any cultivator participating in the bidding, not to mention ensuring the safety of these cultivators in Jiuyue City; otherwise, who would come to the Lin Family's auctions to make purchases?
What would become of their carefully cultivated reputation then?
Many cultivators in the hall also felt that Lin Shiming was very patient. If it were another cultivator at the peak of Purple Mansion acting as a hermit, they might have slammed the table already.
Reluctantly, Lin Houyuan still composed his expression:
"Congratulations to this fellow daoist for obtaining the Sturgeon Dragon Liquor recipe!"
"Coming up next is the most anticipated treasure of this auction!"
"Offered by Fengxing Commercial Alliance, the offspring of a Fourth Rank pure-blood Wind Scaled Python Great Demon, a Demonic Beast of the Third Rank intermediate stage at birth, its rearing value need not be overstated, and it even has a potential to transform into a Flood Dragon, possibly achieving the legendary status of a Demon King!" Lin Houyuan spoke with great enthusiasm.
As if before him truly was a Wind Scaled Python about to transform into a being like the Tianqing Flood Dragon King in the future.
While speaking, he moved next to a female cultivator, lifting the brocade cloth to reveal a Spirit Beast Bag.
To give everyone a better view, a Jade Slip was situated beside the Spirit Beast Bag. As Lin Houyuan took hold of the Jade Slip,
it lit up with a spiritual glow, displaying the juvenile form of the Wind Scaled Python in everyone's vision.
Of course, even as a juvenile Wind Scaled Python, it was three to four zhang long, its body armored with densely packed scales, each inscribed with blue whirlwind Spirit Patterns; its fierce python head with a slight bulge on the skull, as if it could grow dragon horns at any moment.
It was clearly a pure-blooded Wind Scaled Python of utmost purity, not long since its birth, yet already possessing the potential to transform into a dragon.
"The starting bid for the Wind Scaled Python offspring is twenty thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones! Each increment must not be less than one thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Houyuan announced.
"Twenty-three thousand!"
"Twenty-five thousand!"
...
Instantly, there were countless voices bidding.
At that moment, within the box where Lin Shiming was, another voice rang out.
"Forty-five thousand intermediate-grade Spirit Stones!"
A price more than double the previous instantly appeared before everyone.
Many cultivators directly gave up, knowing that even Yun Chengzi, although eager to test the field at that moment, would offend people if he pushed further.
In the end, he had no choice but to give up, and Lin Shiming finally secured his first auction item of the event - the Wind Scaled Python offspring!
