At this moment, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded. Is this still an auction? How can the price be doubled!? Even the top forces in the Sea Market probably couldn't come up with 20 Legendary magical crystals at once. As for their forces, they wouldn't be able to come up with so many Legendary magical crystals even if they sold everything they had. If they could come up with 20 Legendary magical crystals, they would probably be able to be on par with the big shots on the second floor.
Even the Sea Race's Lord Ao Sui didn't say anything after hearing this price. Clearly, even for the Sea Clan, Legendary magical crystals were not something that they could throw around casually. 20 Legendary magical crystals were enough to exchange for a large number of important resources for the Sea Clan.
However, that did not mean that Onor had given up on the Life Commendation. He walked to the window of the private room, and glanced at the crowd in the hall below. He then turned to look at a warrior of the Sea Clan beside him, and said, "Go and find out who has the guts to snatch what I want."
"Yes, Lord." The warrior of the Sea Clan bowed respectfully, and turned around to leave the gloomy private room.
Watching his subordinate leave the private room, Onor finally couldn't contain the anger in his heart, and slammed the table hard. He gritted his teeth, and said resentfully, "I'd like to see who else has the guts to snatch something from me in this place."
After Lin Li quoted the price of 20 Legendary magical crystals, even Onor of the Sea Clan stopped bidding, let alone the people of the other forces. The old man on the stage suppressed the excitement in his heart, and his voice was faintly trembling. After insisting on bidding three more times according to the rules, he finally announced the final owner of the Life Commendation.
Soon, someone from the auction house arrived at Lin Li's position, and led him to complete the last part of the transaction — the exchange of magical crystals and the delivery of goods. Of course, the people of the auction house had considered the possibility of someone deliberately raising the price to create trouble, but they were confident enough to make the other party pay a huge price.
Lin Li went to the back of the auction house, and took out 20 Legendary magical crystals from the Ring of Endless Storm with a relaxed expression. There were even a few level-21 and level-22 magical crystals.
Seeing the 20 Legendary magical crystals in front of him, even the person in charge of the auction could not contain his excitement. Those were 20 Legendary magical crystals, after all. Even if all the other items in the auction today were not sold, Lin Li would definitely be able to make a huge contribution with this transaction.
"Alright, sir. This is the Life's Tribute that you won. Please keep it well." The person in charge put away the magical crystal, and carefully handed the bottle of Life's Commendation potion to Lin Li. He then looked around, and said in a low voice, "You have to be careful. You've definitely been targeted by others. I advise you not to stay here any longer. You'd better think of a way to leave this place immediately."
Lin Lidian nodded slightly, and grabbed the Life Commendation casually. He didn't put it away into the Ring of Endless Storm, and instead played with it in his hand. In fact, with Lin Li's current attainments in pharmaceutics, it wasn't difficult for him to formulate a potion of Life's Commendation. In fact, he didn't even need the sap of the Tree of Eternity to extend his lifespan by 1,000 years. Hence, although he had spent 20 Legendary magical crystals on the potion, he really didn't take it to heart.
Seeing Lin Li's behavior, the person in charge of the auction couldn't help but feel a little worried. That was no longer a potion, but 20 Legendary magical crystals. If they were to fall to the ground and spill, the 20 Legendary magical crystals would go down the drain. Of course, he was also very thankful that the payment had been settled. Even if Lin Li were to smash the potion, he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.
Soon after Lin Li left with the Life Commendation potion, Onor's subordinate, the Sea Clan warrior, also came to the back of the auction house, and found the person in charge of the auction house. Although the person in charge had reminded Lin Li previously, he still had to say what he had to when facing the Sea Clan. That was what it meant to please both parties.
Unfortunately, the auction house had rules, and the person in charge didn't inquire about Lin Li's background. Hence, he naturally couldn't tell the Sea Clan warrior much useful information. However, the person in charge of the auction house dared not disrespect the Sea Clan. Hence, he had no choice but to take out the Legendary magical crystals that he had received from Lin Li, and let the Sea Clan warrior take them for research temporarily.
In the private room, Onor held the magical crystal that his subordinate had brought back, and could tell at a glance that it was definitely not a magical crystal of a marine magical beast. The magical crystal was emitting waves of earth elements, and clearly belonged to some kind of earth-element magical beast from the mainland. Onor was a little confused by the fact that Lin Li was spending a Legendary magical crystal that was produced in the mainland in the Sea City.
"Have you gotten someone to keep an eye on that human?" Onor asked after throwing the magical crystal back to his subordinate.
"Yes, I've already gotten someone to keep an eye on him. As long as he takes a ship out to sea, we'll get the news immediately," the Sea Clan warrior answered respectfully.
The Endless Ocean was the territory of the Sea Clan, and no matter how powerful the battleships were, they couldn't compare to the marine beasts controlled by the Sea Clan. That was also one of the reasons why the High Elves couldn't really reach the Endless Ocean. In fact, on the Endless Ocean, be it serious merchants or vicious pirates, they all had to have various connections with the Sea Clan. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive on the sea at all.
On the other hand, after Lin Li left the auction house, he was no longer interested in continuing to wander around. He had set two baits and caught two fish, but he would only know which fish was useful to him after he caught the fish. However, in order to make the fish take the bait, it was not enough to just set the bait. He had to make the fish feel that he could successfully swallow the bait.
Hence, Lin Li returned to The Star, and decided to sail the ship away from the port. He believed that the sea was definitely a place where both the pirates and the Sea Clan could have no scruples. Of course, Lin Li actually needed a place where he could have no scruples too.
When Lin Li came to see the port, there were plenty of people surrounding The Star. Even for people who were used to seeing all kinds of ships, the massive ship like The Star was still quite shocking. Those people were standing on the dock, and gesticulating while discussing The Star. Some were talking about how much cargo it could carry, and some were talking about what kind of sea beasts it could hunt.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin Li boarded The Star again, after which the massive ship let out a long roar and slowly retreated to the port. In fact, with The Star's performance, it was definitely not inferior to those fast battleships at sea despite its massive size. However, Lin Li deliberately told the little skeleton to fiddle with The Star more clumsily. Otherwise, he might really scare the fishes away.
After leaving the port, The Star immediately pretended to be in a hurry to escape, and quickly sailed in the direction of the mainland. Of course, it was only sailing at a high speed in the eyes of others. In fact, it was less than one-tenth of the normal speed of The Star. However, before The Star could go far away from the island, and even the outline of the island could be seen from afar, a massive sea behemoth suddenly surfaced from the sea.
The sea behemoth was almost the size of The Star, and it was carrying a castle-like building on its back. Besides, there were all kinds of magical weapons on the castle, ranging from Magical Crystal Cannons to giant harpoons. It could be said to be armed to the teeth.
When Lin Li saw the appearance of the sea behemoth, he knew that the Sea Clan that he had been waiting for had arrived. Although he had never seen the sea behemoth of the Sea Clan, he could imagine that only the Sea Clan could tame the sea behemoth to such an extent.
Sure enough, when The Star was forced to slow down, several Sea Clan warriors who were holding tridents walked out of the castle on the back of the sea behemoth. The leader of the Sea Clan warriors pointed the trident in his hand at The Star, and yelled, "We suspect that your ship is transporting prohibited materials, and now we demand that you stop the ship immediately for inspection."
The voice of the Sea Clan was rather penetrating, and could probably be used as a sound wave weapon. If it were an ordinary communication between ships, they would only be able to use flag signals at such a distance, but the Sea Clan was shouting directly. Besides, even though Lin Li was in the main control room, he could still hear them clearly.
However, after hearing the Sea Clan warrior's words, Lin Li was almost amused. Only the Sea Clan could come up with such an excuse. Of course, regardless of the era and country, there would always be some restricted materials. Hence, the excuse of asking for an inspection was not made up.
Of course, Lin Li wouldn't let the Sea Clan members board The Star for inspection. Even though he had deliberately lured them over, it didn't mean that he had to let them mess around on The Star.
The Sea Clan members were still waiting for a response from The Star, but they suddenly saw a giant magic hand reaching out of the void, and grabbing the castle on the sea behemoth's back. It then exerted some force, and pulled the castle off the back of the sea behemoth. Then, like a cockroach box being overturned, the giant magic hand grabbed the top of the castle and shook it twice. Although the Sea Clan members in the castle didn't fall out like cockroaches, they didn't dare to stay in the castle any longer. Instead, they fled one after another.
"Who the hell are you? Are you trying to declare war on the Sea Clan!?" Perhaps because the Life Commendation was too important, Onor didn't completely leave it to his subordinates, and instead came with the sea behemoth. In fact, the castle on the back of the sea behemoth was also one of Onor's residences. Although the Sea Clan members could move around on land, the environment in the sea was more comfortable for them.
Onor was already a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-level, so he naturally wouldn't be as disheveled as the other Sea Clan warriors. After leaving the castle, he immediately flew above The Star, pointed at Lin Li, and hollered sternly. In fact, he was also well aware that he might have hit a wall this time. Being able to pull the castle off the back of the sea behemoth was probably something that only the Sanctuary-realm could do.
That was also the reason that Onor accused Lin Li as soon as he opened his mouth. He wanted Lin Li to reconsider because touching him was tantamount to challenging the entire Sea Clan.
At this moment, the magic hand that had pulled the castle into the air casually threw it into the sea, and then turned back to grab Onor. Onor was frightened out of his wits. After all, he hadn't stepped into the Sanctuary-realm, and his soul hadn't reached the level of indestructible. If he died, he would be completely dead.
However, Lin Li didn't make things too difficult for Onor, mainly because he still hadn't figured out what exactly the relationship between the Sea Clan and Geresco was, and he didn't know why Geresco had sent him there. If he had some important connection with the Sea Clan, and Lin Li were to be heavy-handed and cause casualties to the Sea Clan, the conflict would be difficult to resolve.
With a plop, the giant magic hand suddenly dissipated, and Onor, who was originally caught in midair, suddenly fell onto the deck of The Star, and rolled a few times before finally coming to a stop. The gorgeous blue Dragon Whale leather armor on his body was no longer as glamorous as before, and he looked exceptionally disheveled.
As a powerhouse who was at the peak of the Legendary-level, Onor was actually thrown to the ground, which was extremely embarrassing. However, that was not something he could control. When the giant magic hand suddenly dissipated, he also tried to mobilize his mana in a bid to maintain some dignity in front of the human Sanctuary powerhouse. However, to his great horror, all the power in his body disappeared without a trace, and he suddenly became an ordinary person without a trace of mana.
"Lord Onor of the Sea Clan, what exactly do you mean by stopping my ship with your men?" Lin Li didn't intend to use any cruel interrogation methods as soon as he arrived. Although the means of capturing Onor and putting him on The Star were already quite intense, they didn't hurt the lives of the Sea Clans, after all.
"Who exactly are you?" It took Onor a long time to suppress the fear in his heart. After all, he was facing a Sanctuary powerhouse who could easily crush him with his fingers. Besides, although he had always been in the small Sea City, and had almost never been to Anril, it didn't mean that he was uninformed. On the contrary, through the merchants of the various races that came and went, he probably had a better understanding of Anril than some people from the mainland. However, he couldn't remember when such a Sanctuary powerhouse had appeared in the human race.
Onor knew very well what kind of status the human race had in Anril today. It was no exaggeration to say that in the eyes of the High Elves, humans were just a bunch of slaves, and the lowest class of slaves. The dwarves at least had forging skills that were valued by the High Elves, while the elves at least had a handsome appearance that the High Elves liked. However, what did humans have? Be it in the eyes of the High Elves or the Sea Clan, humans seemed to be almost useless apart from the fact that they reproduced at an astonishing speed.
