Mu Lin was wrapped in a long black cloak, with the beautiful curve of her jaw revealed in the shadow under the hood. Many demons around were dressed like this. Mu Lin looked nothing special except that her demonic aura was a little lighter. She slowly entered the venue with the crowd.
The furnishings were very Western in style. The circular venue was very large. They were on the first floor. In the center was a gorgeous and mysterious booth, with hundreds of seats arranged in an orderly manner around the booth.
Mu Lin looked up and saw a huge magic circle covering the dome downwards. The middle of the second and third floors were hollow, and large pieces of special light blue and light purple crystals were used as decoration. It was not difficult to guess that there were boxes behind the crystal wall. You couldn't see inside from the outside, but the people inside could clearly see every move on the booth from a high vantage point.
This arrangement of positions has a strong sense of the demon clan's order and hierarchy. The people on the second and third floors are heavyweights, while those on the first floor have a lower status and background.
Mu Lin sat in the fourth row, neither too far nor too far, with an excellent view. On her left sat a fat old man with white hair and eyebrows, smiling from ear to ear, dressed in a low-key yet noble manner, looking like the head of a small family. On her right sat a little girl of eight or nine, with two playful pigtails and a round and pretty face. The little girl was wearing a pink and white skirt, and she never stopped making small movements. Her white and soft hands kept searching for food in her purse, stuffing it into her mouth while looking around with her big round eyes.
Mu Lin was very wary of the seemingly harmless children in the Demon Realm. When she first arrived in the Demon Realm, she was deceived by an old monster in a child's skin and almost stabbed in the heart.
The fat old man seemed to want to talk to Mu Lin, but on the one hand, he couldn't tell the other party's cultivation strength, and on the other hand, Mu Lin looked mysterious and didn't respond to his talk, so he gave up.
The light around dimmed, and a bright beam of light hit the booth. The blonde woman had a charming appearance, and her every frown and smile was charming. Her curvy figure made people imagine a lot. The hem of her skirt was like slowly opening wavy dark purple petals, and snow-white straight calves extended from the golden core. Her purple-gold boots were elegant and mysterious.
The whole place suddenly fell silent.
At this time, Mu Lin heard the little girl on the right snort, as if she was a little disdainful.
"Your presence at the auction brings honor to the Bi Cang Pavilion..."
The blonde woman's name was Si Yuan. The moment she opened her mouth, her sweet voice touched people's hearts. Even Mu Lin, a woman, felt numb for a moment. This female auctioneer was a stunner in the world.
There are no taboos at the demon auction.
The first treasure to be auctioned was the white dragon horn, which was said to be obtained by a great demon who defeated the immortal king of the white dragon clan tens of thousands of years ago. The snow-white dragon horn was well preserved and had a beautiful and natural shape. After so long, the dragon power formed by the gold element has not dissipated. Whether it is for refining magic tools or elixirs, the white dragon horn is a top-quality material, not to mention that this is the dragon horn of the immortal king, and its value is self-evident. It is the most appropriate to put it at the beginning.
After Si Yuan introduced the situation of the dragon horn and announced the reserve price, the monsters began to compete for it.
In the blink of an eye, the price reached a staggering level. Mu Lin estimated her own wealth. The spiritual jade given to her by her master was not much, and with the generous reward paid to her by the North Sea Dragon King, she was not without a chance of competing.
Soon the price exceeded Mu Lin's expectations, so she naturally gave up. Although the white dragon horn was good, she was only fascinated by it for a while because of her love for high-level treasures. It would not be of much use if she really bought it, and it might even cause trouble for her.
In the end, the White Dragon Horn was bought by a customer on the second floor, at a very high price. The next few items were inferior in comparison, as no one on the second or third floor took the bids, and the items were bought by customers on the first floor one after another.
The two people beside Mu Lin didn't make a move. The fat old man was still smiling, and it was hard to tell how deep his smile was. The little girl looked impatient and nibbled the snack in her pocket carelessly. It seemed that what she wanted had not yet appeared.
Mu Lin's pills caused a small climax as soon as they came on the market. One bottle of four high-level Mind-Concentrating and Essence-Nourishing Pills and three bottles of twenty-four mid-level Qi-Concealing Pills attracted many people, and they were finally bought by a guest on the third floor at a high price.
The price was thirty times higher than the cost price, and Mu Lin's lips curled up.
The next few items were all very good, and Mu Lin got two tourmaline grasses used to refine the Earth-Shrinking Pill at a slightly higher price.
There are so few alchemists in the Demon Realm that few would compete with her.
With her current cultivation, she could shrink the earth by a thousand miles, but a high-quality shrinking pill could shrink the earth by ten thousand miles in an instant. Mu Lin didn't know why, even though there was no danger, she always wanted to prepare some.
Maybe it’s because the Demon Realm is so disturbing.
The last item of the auction came on stage. Si Yuan smiled and lifted the red velvet. On the silver tray was the second to last item - the Lycoris radiata Bodhi hairpin.
The red spider lilies in full bloom on the hairpin are lifelike, and the petals are like flowing bright blood, with all kinds of brilliance flowing through them, dazzling and brilliant. The hairpin body is made of bodhi branches, the whole body is brown, and it faintly exudes a light wood fragrance.
"This Manjusaka Bodhi hairpin has a history of ten thousand years. It was made by the late Pluto King Yunyan for his beloved daughter as a gift for her coming of age. The style is exquisite and unique, but the hairpin is made of Bodhi wood, the only Star-Moon Bodhi tree in the world, and it comes from the supreme realm of the gods..."
First Pluto Yunyan...
Mu Lin didn't hear a word of what he said next. Her gaze lingered on the Bodhi hairpin for a long time, and her hand in her sleeve tightened unconsciously.
"Father, why did the little girl by the Forgotten River cry so miserably? She didn't suffer any torture in her life..."
"Silly child, she had a sudden heart attack the day before her coming of age. Her best years passed so quickly. I'm sure she still lingers on the beauty of the world..."
Xiao Mulin interrupted him: "Father, what is Jigui?"
Hades touched her head lovingly, "Jigui means a girl has reached adulthood and can get married."
"Then when will I be able to reach the age of marriage?"
"Hey, my little Mu Lin also wants to get married?"
"No! I just want to grow up quickly, leave the underworld, and travel around the world..."
"Girls of the Hades come of age at the age of 920. Lin'er, you are still young. But don't worry. On your coming of age day, your father will hold the grandest coming of age ceremony for you in the Three Realms..."
She had never known there was such a hairpin, but she heard that her father had gone to the divine realm to obtain the Star and Moon Bodhi Wood and had suffered some injuries that would take a hundred years to heal.
So, is this hairpin really her father's? Mu Lin was silent.
Whether it is real or not, she wants this hairpin.
"This Manjusaka Bodhi hairpin was obtained by the seller during the battle between the immortals and the underworld. Because it is too rare and special, this auction house has not explored its mysterious properties. At the request of the seller, the auction price is secondary. Only VIPs who agree to the seller's additional conditions can participate in the auction..."
The sacred tree of the Star and Moon Bodhi, this treasure is already priceless, no matter what mysterious properties it has, some people around have already started to make a noise: "What do you want?"
It is not uncommon for the seller to have additional conditions at an auction, but it is not without precedent.
"The seller requires that the person who bids for this hairpin can provide him with a master alchemist who can make the Imperial Wing Pill."
The whole audience was silent.
Mu Lin was silent too. The last time she heard about the Imperial Wing Pill was in Buzhou Mountain. In order to make amends to their master and apprentice, the Second Prince Feng Ling of the Immortal Realm took out a piece of Fengxia Violet Blue Stone used to refine the Imperial Wing Pill. Mu Lin still remembered the sensation it caused at that time.
What is the Royal Wing Pill? In ancient times, an ordinary sorcerer swallowed the world's first Royal Wing Pill and became a god in one thought.
The power of faith required to become a god is far beyond the imagination of mortals. There is no precedent for immortals to become gods, and no one knows how sorcerers can make the leap from human to god in one step!
It is said that later generations found a recipe for the medicine in the sorcerer's residence before he ascended to heaven, which contained the method of refining the Imperial Wing Pill. This recipe is not a secret in the fairy world or the demon world. It has been circulated in a small range for tens of thousands of years. It is recorded in the ancient books of the East Pavilion of Yingzhou.
It’s not that no one wants to replicate the miracle of the warlock becoming a god, but unfortunately no one has succeeded.
One is that the materials are too rare, and some types have even become extinct.
Secondly, refining is too difficult, and only a master in the world of alchemy can have some confidence in it.
Even with such harsh conditions, countless people went crazy when Si Yuan said this.
This is the temptation to become a god!
Since the seller has put forward this additional condition, maybe he has all the materials in his hands? !
Mu Lin's heart also became excited and he was extremely curious about the identity of the seller.
"Bidding starts now, reserve price is..."
The price was beyond Mu Lin's expectation, but she raised her placard and joined the bidding without any hesitation.
Almost all eyes were on Mu Lin. Including her, there were only three bidders. The other two were upstairs, and they couldn't see anything through the crystal plate, but their family backgrounds were obviously richer than hers.
Mu Lin gave up, she couldn't afford it even if she spent all her money.
It would be better to wait outside the auction house. If you are lucky enough to find a buyer or seller, it would be more practical to rob them directly.
The two people upstairs were arguing over the price, neither of them willing to give in. The price soared to a terrifying number, and Mu Lin estimated that if it was higher, she could buy Yingzhou Wonderland, if her master was willing to sell it.
By the time the boss on the third floor won with a slight advantage, the auction was almost over.
Si Yuan made her closing statement with a smile, but unfortunately, after being shocked by the sacred tree and the Royal Wing Pill, most people were absent-minded and not many people came to support her. Only the little girl on Mu Lin's right kept staring at her and snorted coldly.
The old man on Mu Lin's left looked at him with a smile: "Are you an alchemist? I've heard a lot about you..."
Mu Lin took some effort to get rid of the old man's advances. By then, most of the people had left, and the little girl on the right was naturally nowhere to be seen. She didn't look like someone who could sit still.
There was a maid waiting for Mu Lin outside the hall. She respectfully led her upstairs to settle the spiritual jade that Mu Lin obtained from the auction of elixirs.
Mu Lin casually looked at the white corridor, which was also equipped with a secret defensive formation that could withstand attacks from people with the strength of an Immortal King.
