High Risk, high reward…
Lin Mo hesitated. He looked at Qing Xi and finally nodded.
“Okay, it’s a deal. I’ll send you away.”
Lin Mo agreed and left with Qing Xi, although the journey would be fraught with danger.
However, it was not impossible for him to send Jiang Xiyue the dragon blood.
“It’s very troublesome. There are people guarding the city ahead, and it’s heavily guarded…”
Three days later, Lin Mo and Qing Xi appeared in front of a city. They were hiding in a towering tree.
There were many top-tier powerhouses at the entrance of the city. All of them were at tier 31 of the Transformation Dragon Realm.
They were all stuck at the Nirvana Realm, and it was difficult for them to enter.
“We can’t go to this city…” Lin Mo made a prompt decision and left with Qing Xi, turning back.
“What should we do?”Qing Xi asked anxiously.
If they did not go to some cities to supply spirit pills and spirit herbs, they would be hunted down endlessly and could only die…
“If that’s the case, then we’ll go another way. Next stop, we’ll go to Cloud Pattern City.”
Lin Mo made a decision. He would go to Cloud Pattern City to participate in the auction. At the same time, he would think of a way to contact Jiang Xiyue and ask her for help…
There was no other way. With his current strength, it was impossible for him to bring Qing Xi away.
“Detour? That’s fine too.”
Qing Xi nodded. As long as Lin Mo did not leave her behind, she would be fine with anything else.
This time, Lin Mo did not make too many moves. When he fought with others, he would use the puppet. Even if he made a move, he would be able to kill them in one hit.
Seven days later, after ensuring that there was no aura left on his body, Lin Mo let Qing Xi enter Cloud Pattern City first.
He followed far behind and displayed an anxious expression. He asked the city guards to open the door and let him in.
“Who are you? Come.”
As expected, Lin Mo had just arrived and attracted the attention of these people. A group of people immediately surrounded him.
The scene was slightly chaotic. Qing Xi was also ordered to take off her bamboo hat.
Upon seeing this, Lin Mo immediately made his move. The rising sky sword Qi swept out, and the city guards were all thrown to the ground.
“Don’t provoke me. I’m in a bad mood.”
Lin Mo said with a cold snort. After what he had done, Qing XI had also successfully entered the city without a sound.
“The punishment hall is doing something. Do you dare to resist?” A middle-aged man shouted loudly as he led his men to surround Lin Mo.
“Punishment hall, I was just about to say something. What exactly are you doing? I was cultivating in the mountains, but I was disturbed more than ten times.”
Lin Mo pretended to be angry and took off his bamboo hat, revealing his original appearance.
“Eh, this person looks a little familiar.”
Someone in the city heard the commotion and walked out to check. After seeing Lin Mo’s appearance, he pondered for a moment before reacting.
“He’s Lin Mo, currently ranked seventh on the Board of Fame. He’s a true martial artist genius.”
The surrounding people turned pale with fright. They had not heard any news about Lin Mo for nearly two months. They heard that he had gone to the imperial city, but they did not expect him to be cultivating in the mountains…
“You’re Lin Mo?”
The middle-aged man from the hall of punishment was stunned. He looked at Lin Mo with a hint of fear in his eyes.
It was rumored that Lin Mo had a puppet with its combat strength at tier 31 of the Dragon Transformation Realm. It was able to suppress everyone present.
Moreover, he was also a ruthless person. Those who offended him basically did not have a good outcome.
“It’s me. Who are you guys chasing after? It’s disturbing my cultivation,” Lin Mo said unhappily.
There was nothing wrong with his words. The commotion they had caused recently was indeed very disturbing.
“Young hero Lin Mo, Please don’t blame us. The Holy Maiden of the Qing Huai Holy Land colluded with evil cultivators and escaped after being discovered. Now, she has been saved by a mysterious expert. She is currently on the wanted list.”
The middle-aged man said, telling Lin Mo to mind his own business and quickly go to the imperial city…
“What does it have to do with you whether I go to the imperial city or not?” Lin Mo curled his lips and swaggered into Cloud Pattern City.
“Hmph, what’s there to be arrogant about? Without the eighth prince, you would have long been dealt with by someone…”
The middle-aged man snorted coldly, extremely displeased with Lin Mo’s tone.
Lin Mo did not care about these words. After arriving at Cloud Pattern City, he found an inn and avoided everyone’s gaze, allowing Qing Xi to stay inside.
As for himself, he also strolled around Cloud Pattern City, walking around the streets and alleys in search of spirit herbs.
“Medicine shop?”
Through asking around, Lin Mo obtained the name of a faction.
The biggest faction in Cloud Pattern City was this medicine shop. It was specially created for business purposes and controlled more than 70% of Cloud Pattern City’s economic lifeline.
“Hehe, please come in.”
As soon as Lin Mo entered, a maid recognized him and hurriedly went forward to welcome him.
“I want to auction off some magic weapons and martial arts,” said Lin Mo. during this period of time, he had been hunted down, and he had gained a lot of treasures, but he was in short supply of spirit herbs.
He needed to exchange all of these magic tools and martial arts for spirit herbs and spirit pills.
“Mr. Lin, the auction is in five days. Are you going to auction off all of your treasures?”
The maid asked. Most of the treasures that Lin Mo had taken out were seventh to ninth treasures. They were no longer considered precious in this period of time.
The truly rare ones were spirit-rank treasures. That was the only thing that could attract people.
“You can’t auction them?” Lin Mo asked. If that was the case, then his harvest would be much smaller…
“How about this, we’ll place these tier seven and tier eight treasures in the main hall and let those interested bid for them. This is also an auction, but the majority of them will be sold at the starting price…”
The Maid said as she pointed at the main hall. There were many treasures here, but very few people would take a fancy to the same treasures at the same time.
Hence, it was an auction in name, but it was no different from selling it.
“System, if I sell it like this, will it trigger a rebate from the auction?” Lin Mo asked in his heart.
[Yes, as long as it’s sold as an auction, a single person’s bid counts as an auction.]
After receiving the system’s reply, Lin Mo smiled and nodded, agreeing with the servant girl’s words.
“Alright, as for these tier nine treasures, they will be auctioned in five days.”
The maid handed over a token, asking Lin Mo to come to the auction five days later.
“Alright, that’s naturally not a problem.”
Lin Mo smiled before looking for the maid to buy a large number of spirit herbs and spirit pills.
Just as he walked out of the medicine shop, Lin Mo heard the system notification sound.
[ Congratulations, host, for successfully auctioning a top-grade tier seven weapon, Shadow Dagger. ]
[ Triggered 500 times auction return. ]
[ Congratulations, host, for obtaining a low-grade tier eight ghost dagger. ]
A dagger had already been sold, which surprised him a little. He turned around and saw someone he did not want to see.
Moreover, that person was holding a black dagger in his hand.
This person was the hall of punishment’s torturer who had quarreled with him at the city gate.
He held the Shadow Dagger and looked at Lin Mo coldly.
“We received news that the Holy Maiden of the Qinghuai Holy Land was saved by a mysterious expert who killed many of our people.
“And this shadow dagger is the weapon of a disciple of the secret ghost sect. It has a unique aura on it.”
A few torturers walked over and surrounded Lin Mo, their eyes unfriendly.
“You mean, I saved the Holy Maiden of the Qing Huai Holy Land?” Lin Mo said as he looked at the people surrounding him.
