642 Demon State’s Rule
Qilin had also eaten more than half of the soup made from the vulture. Her little face was red as the divine wine was intoxicating.
In addition, she had drunk so much that she was now drunk and expressing her dissatisfaction.
“I’m trying to heal your injured origin completely.”
Lin Mo shook his head and helped her to a nearby tree. He plucked some tender branches and leaves and laid them on the ground.
After letting Qilin lie down, he washed the small white jade cauldron and the Chaos Bell and put them away.
After doing all this, he walked out of the formation and guarded Qilin.
“Ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank. They’re underestimating me…”
Lin Mo shook his head. From the information he heard from Qilin, he was ranked seventh on the Hidden Dragon Rank at the moment.
Meanwhile, Qilin was ranked first, pushing the young master of the Dragon Pavilion, Xiao Yun, down to second place.
If they knew that Qilin was born prematurely with a congenital deficiency, perhaps they would not have let her be ranked first…
Lin Mo chuckled. At the same time, he did not have a good impression of the Dragon Pavilion.
When he and Qilin enjoyed the delicious food and drank the divine wine earlier, Qilin let her guard down and complained a lot to him.
The ancient battlefield had the grave of Qilin’s mother, the ancient divine White Qilin.
Qilin was also placed there to absorb the spiritual Qi essence that dissipated after her mother’s death.
Theoretically, she would need another 10,000 years before she could be born and inherit the complete Qilin inheritance, showing off her mother’s glory.
However, the Dragon Pavilion’s people used their great magical powers to enter the place to refine jade seals.
By accident, they barged into the graveyard and disturbed her, causing Qilin to be born early.
This was also the reason Qilin stole the Dragon Pavilion’s jade seal. She did it in anger.
Nonetheless, this also led to her being hunted down, and she had to run for a long time before she could escape.
After that, Qilin had to search for elixirs, kill demonic beasts, and devour their blood essences. Her days were very bitter.
It was only when she met Lin Mo and was taken care of did she finally get rid of the hard days of wandering.
“I have to be fully prepared. Otherwise, it won’t be easy to go to the Dragon Pavilion…”
Lin Mo thought hard to himself, but he could not come up with any ideas.
The Dragon Pavilion might not be the greatest force in the Northern Continent, but they were not far from it. There were not many who could fight them.
If the Dragon Pavilion was offended, the entire Northern Continent would be doomed.
“Ah, I’ll just take it one step at a time…”
The next day!
Lin Mo left the mountain range with Qilin. With Lin Mo leading the way, Qilin followed him into the city without any worries.
On the way, Lin Mo taught Qilin the World-changing Technique to change her appearance.
After all, their identities were sensitive. Once they were exposed, the entire Demon State would be at war.
“This city is a little small, and it experiences killing all year round. There’s no sign of good luck, so I don’t know if there are any treasures…”
When they arrived at the town, Qilin shook her head.
The smell of blood here was too strong, and she did not like it. Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed.
“This is only a small city, yet it has such a strong smell of blood. It is indeed a heaven for crime and killing…”
Lin Mo sighed. The little girl beside him was having a hard time.
From the moment they entered the city, she had been complaining, saying that if she had known earlier, she would not have come to Demon Sate and that it would have been better to go to another state…
“There’s no ruler here. It’s a paradise for rogue cultivators. It’s the easiest place to hide. Bear with it. Tonight, I’ll use the liquid of divine medicines as a seasoning and roast meat for you to eat.”
Lin Mo chuckled as he led Qilin to the largest auction house in the city.
“Guests, please come in. Are you here to consign or to auction?” As soon as they entered, several auras locked onto them.
Even so, the two of them had changed their appearances and auras. They even hid their cultivation levels, so no one could tell.
“I’m auctioning three treasures. Give me an estimated price,” Lin Mo said without any expression.
As for Qilin, she was silent the entire time. She followed Lin Mo and did not make a sound.
“Take out your treasures. Red or white?” An old man walked into the guest room.
He was the appraiser of the auction house, and he sat opposite Lin Mo with an arrogant expression.
“Wind Spirit Lotus, an earth-grade tier 9 elixir, Ocean Blue Jade Essence, earth-grade tier 9, and Luo Shui Sword, an earth-grade tier 9 magic weapon.”
Lin Mo took out the three treasures, and the guest room was instantly filled with the fragrance of elixirs.
“Right, they’re all red goods.”
The old man’s eyes widened as he looked at Lin Mo in disbelief.
Immediately, he circulated his spiritual Qi and sealed the place to prevent the fragrance of the elixirs from spreading.
“I’m sorry for being impolite.”
The old man stood up and bowed to Lin Mo solemnly. He then sat down and carefully examined the three treasures.
“What are red and white goods?”
Qilin, who was next to Lin Mo, blinked and looked at him in confusion.
Could it be that Lin Mo had been here before? How could he be so familiar with the style here?
“White goods are treasures that can see the light, red goods…” Lin Mo smiled. He heard this on the way here.
“Are treasures that have seen blood… Little girl, you have to follow this man well. Otherwise, you’ll be in danger in Demon State.”
The appraiser raised his head and gave Qilin a smile that did not look like a smile.
There was an unspoken rule in Demon State that the treasures one had and found in the mountains were white goods.
As long as one was powerful enough, one could buy and sell such treasures openly.
As for red goods, they were stolen from other people or robbed from merchants. They had seen blood and were not properly obtained.
If they were auctioned, it would be extremely easy for people to seek revenge, so the seller would say that they were red goods in advance and ask the auction house to help keep it a secret.
The auction house also followed this rule and kept secrets strictly. This was how they could survive.
After all, those who did not keep their mouths shut would not be able to live for more than a few months.
“Help me arrange them at this auction. Also, I’m going to participate in the auction.”
As Lin Mo spoke, he took a VIP card from the appraiser and left in satisfaction.
Under the guidance of a maid, he and Qilin arrived at the auction house.
“It’s been a long time since my last auction…”
A familiar aura hit Lin Mo in the face. The auction house was very popular. He seemed to have arrived a little late as the auction was about to end.
“Everyone, I’m sorry, I’ll add three more treasures at the last minute. Please don’t blame me.”
The auction moved very quickly. Lin Mo had just brought Qilin into the private room corresponding to the VIP card when his treasures were brought up.
“This is the Ocean Blue Jade Essence, a precious material of earth-grade tier 9. Is anyone here of the water element? Don’t miss it.”
After a brief introduction, the auction began immediately. The auctioneer knocked on the auction hammer and said, “An earth-grade tier 9 Ocean Blue Jade Essence. The starting price is five million high-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 100,000 spirit stones higher.
“Are you kidding me? Five million?”
Lin Mo suddenly sat up. It was just an Ocean Blue Jade Essence. How could it be worth so much?
“Wow, the stone I picked up is so valuable.” Qilin also sat up with a smug look.
“How dirty…”
Lin Mo facepalmed. Demon State was truly chaotic, and the prices of treasures were also ridiculously expensive…
If it were any other state, the Ocean Blue Jade Essence would have been sold for five million spirit stones.
Lin Mo did not expect that five million was only the starting price here. Did the people here not have a conscience when they earned dirty money?
