Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Chapter 117: The Second Auction

Translator: 549690339

Meanwhile, Elder Yu and Lin Jing simply exchanged some formalities and did not engage in much conversation.

Soon after, the steward came out with a storage bag and a wooden box in his hands.

“These are the Spirit Stones from the auction of your Pure Accumulation Pill, after deducting the commission, the rest is all here.”

“And this.”

The steward opened the wooden box, which indeed contained the Biling flower rootstock that Lin Jing had bid on.

“The expenses have been deducted from the Clear Accumulation Elixir Medicine you sold, plus the previously deducted commission, leaving you with a total of 4425 Medium Grade Spirit Stones.”

Having said that, the steward handed the storage bag and Biling flower rootstock to Lin Jing.

This storage bag was different from the one Lin Jing had; it was specially used by Yuebaolou for large transactions, just to make the trade a bit more convenient.

The space inside was very small; slightly larger objects couldn’t fit in, and it wasn’t very valuable either.

“Thank you.”

Lin Jing took the storage bag and inspected it; there were precisely 4425 Medium Grade Spirit Stones inside.

Lin Jing put away the storage bag and the Biling flower rootstock.

After he had put away his things, Lin Jing turned and posed a question to Elder

“May I ask fellow Daoist…”

“Is there another way to leave the venue without going through the main entrance?”

“Are you not planning to attend the upcoming auction? There are still many fine items ahead,” Elder Yu asked.

Lin Jing shook his head, offering no further explanation:

“No, I plan to leave now.”

Elder Yu did not ask further, as everyone has their own privacy.

Afterward, he pointed towards the direction of a passageway:

“After you walk out from here and follow the corridor straight, turn right at the end, and there will be a side door that leads directly out of the venue.”

“Thank you, fellow Daoist. Farewell,” Lin Jing said, bowing with his hands clasped to Elder Yu.

“Farewell,” Elder Yu responded, also clasping his hands.

Then, Lin Jing turned around and left the place.

As he walked along the passageway, Lin Jing found, just as Elder Yu had said, the side door that led out of the venue, and not far away was a quiet alley.

Without saying another word, Lin Jing turned into the alley…

It wasn’t long before a bearded burly man came walking out of the alley.

This burly man was Lin Jing, after changing his appearance.

After leaving the alley, Lin Jing did not return to his own courtyard but instead headed towards Yuebaolou.

Because next…

He still had two Pure Accumulation Pills left and intended to continue participating in tomorrow’s auction.

This was something Lin Jing had already planned.

By attending the auction and selling one Elixir Medicine, he could then ascertain how much one Pure Accumulation Pill could fetch under such circumstances.

Meanwhile, selling them separately would command a much higher price than auctioning them together.

After all, rarity breeds value…

If he took out all three at once, he probably wouldn’t be able to achieve such a high price.

That was Lin Jing’s initial thought.

Upon arriving at Yuebaolou, the person in charge of registration of auction items was still Manager Zhao.

When Lin Jing took out two Pure Accumulation Pills, Manager Zhao was stunned.

He probably never imagined someone would bring out more Pure Accumulation Pills.

It took a while before he came back to his senses.

“Please wait a moment,” he said.

After speaking, Manager Zhao called for a maidservant to invite a Pill Master from Yuebaolou.

It wasn’t long before the Pill Master arrived; besides Elder Yu, he was the most formidable Pill Master in Yuebaolou.

However, because he was obsessed with Alchemy and rarely interacted with others, he kept a low profile.

Lin Jing had only met him once under Elder Yu’s introduction.

Now, due to the lack of manpower because of the auction, they had even asked him to come out.

Upon his arrival, the Pill Master directly took the Elixir Medicine from Manager Zhao and examined it.

Then, he opened the Pure Jade Box, picked up the Elixir Medicine, and observed it for a while longer.

Afterward, he put the Elixir Medicine back into the Pure Jade Box and closed it. “It’s real.”

After uttering these two words, the man turned and left without saying another word to Lin Jing or Manager Zhao from start to finish.

Steward Zhao felt somewhat awkward and said,

“Fellow Daoist, please don’t take offense…”

“He has always been this way.”

“It’s fine.” Lin Jing replied.

“Since the Pill Master has already appraised it, we can proceed to arrange for the auction,” Steward Zhao began.

“May I ask if you plan to participate in the auction tomorrow or the day after?” Steward Zhao asked.

“Naturally, it’s tomorrow’s auction.” Lin Jing said.

“Also, bring me a copy of the auction items list for both tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

“Alright.”

After speaking, Steward Zhao called over a maid again to fetch the list.

By now, Steward Zhao had understood that this person must have encountered an auction item he needed, which is why he was eager to sell the Pure Accumulation Pills he had on hand.

And his behavior of asking for the list further confirmed Steward Zhao’s speculation.

It wasn’t long before the maid brought the list over.

Lin Jing immediately opened it and started to look through it.

After a while, Lin Jing found that the Ling Yin Imperial Sword Technique he wanted appeared on the list for the day after tomorrow’s auction.

This made Lin Jing’s heart immediately relax.

As long as it wasn’t tomorrow, that was fine, even though he currently had over 4,000 Medium Grade Spirit Stones on him.

But…

He rarely paid attention to things like Cultivation Techniques and Magic Artifacts, and wasn’t too familiar with their actual prices, so Lin Jing was still anxious inside.

Next, Lin Jing took the voucher and token then left Yuebaolou.

After Lin Jing left, Steward Zhao summoned someone.

“Go to the auction venue and inform Elder Bai about the Pure Accumulation

Pills, and see what he has to say.”

“Yes.”

The person replied and then swiftly turned and left.

After the person left, Steward Zhao looked at the two Pure Accumulation Pills in his hand and muttered to himself,

“One yesterday, and now two more today, this matter is becoming more and more interesting…”

“Who knows, which family got involved this time…”

Half an hour later, on the second floor of the auction venue, inside a private room belonging to Yuebaolou.

“Another Pure Accumulation Pill is up for auction, and this time there are two of them.”

At this moment, Elder Bai who had just received the news was frowning in thought.

“Old Man Bai, didn’t they say all Pure Accumulation Pills had been bought up?” “How come there are so many more all of a sudden?”

The only one who would dare to call Elder Bai “Old Man Bail’ except for Huang Qingling was probably no one else.

At this time, the entire private room had already been enveloped by Elder Bail s spiritual power, forming a soundproof barrier, which was why Huang Qingling could be so unrestrained.

Elder Bai pondered for a long time without answering.

After waiting a moment, Elder Bai spoke, “Go back first, I’m aware of the situation.”

“Alright.” The person then withdrew.

“Old Man Bai, is this matter difficult to handle?” Huang Qingling asked with confusion.

“Not difficult to handle…”

Elder Bai stood up and said to Huang Qingling.

“Come, let’s go back to Yuebaolou.”

“Ah, but the auction isn’t over yet, aren’t we going to watch?” Huang Qingling asked with confusion.

“If you want to watch, then stay here and watch, but let’s agree no messing around, I know you don’t get along with that junior from Liu Clan.” “Still, try not to overdo it, just avoid contact with him as much as possible.” “And…”

“Elder Yu mentioned to me last time about the issue between Lin Jing and the Liu Clan junior.”

“You tell him not to worry about it, things will sort themselves out, and I will handle it properly.”

“Alright… ”

“Then I won’t watch either, I’ll go back now and inform Lin Jing about this matter.” Huang Qingling said.

“Old Man Bai, let’s go.”

Elder Bai, without another word, dispelled the soundproof barrier and walked out, while Huang Qingling followed him, both leaving the private room..
