Not only Bai Luo, but Yan Rong, the Mu family, the Sima family, as well as the folks from the Primordial Sun Holy Land froze.
Confusion was written all across their faces. What was going on?
Was Lin Mo a fanatic for auctions, or was he instilled with a strong desire to become a businessman since birth?
Otherwise, his abrupt action had made no sense. The item in his possession was a spirit-grade tier 1 treasure after all, a precious treasure that was forbidden from being traded within the Yanhuang Divine Empire.
Had a normal person obtained it, their first instinct would have been to hide it well.
“Lin Mo, who do you think you’re trying to fool?”
A young man from the Mu family barked. It was Mu Feng, and his face was filled with rage.
“Don’t look at me like that. I’m being serious here. The lotus will go to the highest bidder. I won’t go back on my words.” Lin Mo answered with an amicable smile.
Bai Luo rolled her eyes at his friendly attitude.
Lin Mo made no attempt to explain himself to her. Regardless of what she thought of him, the Blood Lotus in his hands was as good as sold.

“Are you that short of spiritual stones?” Bai Luo frowned, her beautiful eyes filled with doubt.
She was certain that there was a huge secret lying behind Lin Mo’s actions.
It was even possible that this was the secret behind Lin Mo’s strength. If she could unravel it, she might very well bring a peerless genius to her family…
“There are some unique constitutions in history that require a large amount of spiritual stones.”
Bai Luo muttered to herself. However, she still could not wrap her mind around Lin Mo’s actions. After all, although spiritual stones contained the purest form of spiritual energy, the very same type of spiritual energy could be found in various treasures as well.
If that was what Lin Mo needed, then there was no need to exchange the Blood Lotus for spiritual stones.
“That can’t be right. There must be another reason for his desire for spiritual stones. Otherwise, he would not have sold the unicorn bones to me back then…”
After thinking for a long time and refuting all kinds of speculations, Bai Luo was still unable to come up with an answer.
Feeling that it was futile, she decided to give up.
In any case, she was now friends with Lin Mo. Though it was not to the extent of allowing Lin Mo to join her family, she was certain that there would be no animosity between them in the future. Even if they were in opposing sects, she was confident that their friendship would prevail.
“The Primordial Sun Holy Land bids 50 million.”
“55 million.”
A strange scene was unfolding before everyone.
The three factions that were at each others’ throats over a spirit herb earlier were now peacefully sitting on the ground and participating in an auction.
Lin Mo smiled as he watched the three factions attempt to outbid one another.
What surprised him the most was how quickly the bidding prices had risen. Before he realized, the price of the Blood Lotus had already reached 80 million spiritual stones.
This caused Lin Mo to be extremely shocked. It seemed like they had obtained quite a few treasures from the ancient ruins.

More than anything else, Lin Mo was certain that they had located a spirit mine.
This caused Lin Mo to be extremely envious of them. After all, spirit mines were a rich source of spiritual stones.
Even if it was just a small-scale spirit mine, they would still be able to dig out 400 to 500 million low-grade spiritual stones. If they were lucky, they might even be able to dig out middle-grade spiritual stones.
In the end, the Blood Lotus was auctioned off to the Primordial Sun Holy Land at the price of 113 million spiritual stones.
During the transaction process, the fear of Lin Mo going back on his word clawed at the back of the Primordial Sun Holy Land members’ minds.
“Don’t be nervous. Although we have a grudge, as a businessman, I’ll remain true to my word.” Lin Mo comforted.
He would never do such a stupid thing as betraying his customers’ trust. If news of him snatching auction items from his customers were to spread, his career as an auctioneer would come to an end.
This was his bottom line, and he could never cross it unless the situation necessitated it.
“Alright, you guys can leave now. Though, it’s hard to say whether I’ll make a move on you all the next time we meet.”
After completing the transaction, Lin Mo weighed the heavy cloth bag in his hand.
[ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning the spirit-grade tier 1 Blood Lotus ]
[ Triggered 3,000 times auction rebate ]
[ Obtained spirit-grade tier 2 spirit herb, Blood Ganoderma ]
Despite receiving a 3,000 times rebate, Lin Mo had only obtained a spirit-grade tier 2 item. Lin Mo felt that the increase had been rather small.
However, after reading the description of the of Blood Ganoderma, Lin Mo laughed out loud.
The Blood Ganoderma’s function was also to heal injuries, but its effect was better. Moreover, it could heal internal injuries and recover the spiritual energy consumed by the body.
This was a phenomenal effect that even Nirvana Realm powerhouses could make use of.
Such a treasure made Lin Mo extremely satisfied. He now had another trump card that could save his life.
“You can still laugh out loud after losing a spirit-grade herb?” Bai Luo’s disdainful voice rang out.
Lin Mo returned to his senses and smiled at her. “Well then, let’s split the earnings in half.”
Although Bai Luo was obviously not lacking in money, as partners who had taken on the ruins together, he refused to make her work for free.
“There’s no need for that. Since you need the spiritual stones so much, I won’t take them from you.” Bai Luo curled her lips. She was not that stingy.
“However, if we manage to find any spirit herbs that can help raise our cultivation base, I won’t allow you to sell them.”
“Even if you do, you must prioritize selling them to me.”
“No problem. If I do decide to sell any such items in the future, just name your price, and it’s yours. It’s fine even if you can’t pay in spiritual stones.” Lin Mo grinned at her.
However, everything had to be done in the form of an auction.
Although it was no different from giving it to her directly, they must still go through the auction process.
“Hmph, why would I cheap out on you?” Bai Luo raised her head and said proudly.
After searching their surroundings, Lin Mo and the others had obtained a nice harvest.
Due to the dense spiritual energy within the Dragon Transformation Pool, spirit-grade treasures could be found occasionally.
Moreover, tier 9 treasures could be found everywhere they looked.
The mountain range was vast and boundless, and there were towering trees that could touch the sky. Some of said trees stood as tall as mountain peaks.
They were in a primordial forest, with many vines hanging down from the 10-thousand-meter-tall trees. They were extremely sturdy.
Some bird-type demonic beasts liked to build their nests on them.
A thousand meters in the air, a flock of birds weaved their nests out of vines. They flapped their wings from time to time, exuding a shocking aura.
The spiritual energy on the ground was also abundant. Small ponds were filled with spiritual spring water, and spiritual herbs grew bountifully nearby.
There were all kinds of spiritual herbs, exotic beasts, and demonic beasts living there.
Although everything seemed peaceful at a glance, anyone who were to barge into their territory would invite vicious attacks.
Lin Mo and the others followed Lin Die carefully.
Along the way, they searched for spiritual herbs and hunted demonic beasts. Occasionally, they would encounter powerful enemies that they could not defeat.
Not long ago, they had alarmed a huge ape the size of a small hill. It had the strength of an expert in tier 30 of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
This giant ape was extremely powerful, and it was abnormally violent. Upon spotting Lin Mo and his group it immediately launched an attack at them.
If it wasn’t for Lin Mo and Bai Luo’s control over the mystical technique known as Traceless Wind, they would likely have met their demise.
After experiencing such a battle, they felt that it was very likely that there was a Nirvana Realm powerhouse lying in wait within the ruins.
An existence of this level was not something they could face.
“This dimension is rich with spiritual energy, unlike the world outside. It has the perfect conditions to give rise to a Nirvana Realm powerhouse.” Bai Luo commented.
Though the dimension would have collapsed should a Nirvana Realm attempt entry from the outside, the case did not apply to a Nirvana Realm powerhouse that had originated from the dimension itself.
“If that’s the case, then we have to be careful.” Lin Mo nodded.
Not only Bai Luo, but Yan Rong, the Mu family, the Sima family, as well as the folks from the Primordial Sun Holy Land froze.
Confusion was written all across their faces. What was going on?
