Long Yu hadn't expected that he wouldn't be able to avoid Su Ning 'an in the end. Could it be that Su Ning' an's goal was related to the divine rune crystal?
However, Long Yu's heart only sank for a moment before he relaxed.
In any case, this "Wang Tie" identity had already offended Su Ning 'an. It didn't matter if he offended her a bit more. She couldn't make a move in the Lin Merchant Guild, could she?
As for the transaction, Long Yu had plenty of ways to fool her.
"Head Steward, Lord Wang Tie is here."
The guard leading the way naturally didn't know of Long Yu's worries. He leaned against the door and shouted.
This shout caused Lin Ruicai's heart to tremble. "Tell him that I'll go find him later. Right now, I have to receive Miss Su Ning 'an …"
"There's no need, Head Steward. Our transaction isn't something shameful, right?"
Long Yu faintly smiled and strode towards the room. As expected, he saw Su Ning 'an, who was wearing a bright red dress, and Lin Rui Cai, who was wearing a grey robe, standing together.
Su Ning 'an revealed a meaningful smile when she saw "Wang Tie" enter the room. As for Lin Ruicai, he narrowed his eyes.
Logically speaking, he should be furious that Long Yu had insisted on coming despite Su Ning 'an's presence. However, he could hear the hidden meaning in Long Yu's words, so he relaxed. He knew that Long Yu wouldn't mention the divine rune crystal here.
"Head Steward, this is mine."
Long Yu smiled faintly. He didn't mind Su Ning 'an's presence. He reached into his robes and took out an item. At the same time, he took out a jade token.
"This is the emperor realm special crystal I promised you. The amount of pure spirit energy contained within is equivalent to …"
Long Yu paused for a moment before continuing with a smile, "It's equivalent to five times the value of an ancient mid rank pill. Just give me the price we agreed on. Also, this jade token records the entire process of how I obtained this special crystal. Here. "
Long Yu tossed the special crystal and jade token to Lin Ruicai.
This was obviously to deceive Su Ning 'an in front of her!
Lin Ruicai understood Long Yu's purpose almost instantly. He couldn't help but praise this person for being very good at doing things. He took the special crystal and the jade slip.
He knew that what Long Yu was doing now was just acting, and the things in the jade slip were what Long Yu really wanted to express.
What he wanted to say was recorded in the jade slip, pretending to be the entire process of obtaining the emperor realm's special crystal. That way, Su Ning 'an wouldn't be able to detect any problems at all!
Could it be that Su Ning 'an dared to peek at the contents of this jade slip?
Lin Rui took the two items, glanced at them, and nodded, "Not bad, three million shenbi. Do you want it now, or?"
His expression was calm when he said this, but his heart was in turmoil. A special emperor realm crystal was as rare as a divine rune crystal!
It seemed that Wang Tie had exhausted all of his family's resources to destroy a beast lair. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to obtain an emperor realm crystal.
Geniuses among beasts, special beasts, especially emperor realm ones, would always be guarded by great emperor realm beasts. Moreover, they wouldn't stray too far from their lair.
Even a great emperor wouldn't be able to kill an emperor realm beast alone.
"I want to participate in the next auction. My goal is an ancient rank pill. We can slowly calculate the shenbi after the auction."
Long Yu smiled faintly.
"No problem."
Lin Ruicai nodded, suppressing the excitement in his heart. He looked at Su Ning 'an again, "Miss Su, this is the backstage of our Lin Trading Firm. It doesn't seem appropriate for you to stay here. Why don't you come with me to the front desk to participate in the auction?"
"As you wish."
Su Ning 'an looked deeply at Long Yu, then smiled flirtatiously, turned around, and left with Lin Ruicai. As for Long Yu, he naturally followed behind the two.
… …
Lin Trading Firm, auction house!
Long Yu had obtained a private VIP room. He calmly waited for the auction to begin. By now, he was almost certain that Su Ning 'an had heard the news from somewhere. That was why she had come here. She was probably trying to interrupt Lin Ruicai's deal with the divine rune crystals.
Divine rune crystals could only be traded on the black market, and they were extremely profitable. If Lin Ruicai could close this deal, the Lin Trading Firm's profits would explode. As one of the three great firms, the Su Medicine Hall naturally couldn't just watch.
As for how Su Ning 'an knew … great emperor realm experts had the power of deduction!
It wasn't difficult to deduce a few clues. That was why she had appeared here today and disrupted Long Yu's plans.
Originally, Long Yu wanted to directly trade the divine rune crystals with Lin Ruicai, then bid for the ancient rank pills and leave. He didn't think that Su Ning 'an would interfere. Since it was like this, Long Yu could only temporarily keep the divine rune crystals.
Using the special emperor realm crystal as a temporary mortgage, not only could it fool others, but it would also provide Long Yu with the conditions to bid for the ancient rank pills. Without the divine rune crystals, Long Yu's remaining 200,000 shenbi wouldn't be able to bid for enough ancient rank pills!
"Su Ning 'an …"
Long Yu sat in the VIP room, narrowing his eyes as he pondered.
Without a doubt, Su Ning 'an had disrupted his plans. However, the contents of the jade slip he had temporarily created were enough for him to arrange the deal with Lin Ruicai.
Since the Holy City of the Five Emperors was no longer safe, Long Yu chose to trade outside the city, in the Asura Ancient Palace!
With the Death Envoy here, no emperor realm expert's deduction would be able to descend upon the Asura Ancient Palace. In Long Yu's opinion, Asura Ancient Palace was the safest place to trade.
Of course, this was only Long Yu's suggestion in the jade slip. Whether or not Lin Ruicai had a better idea, he didn't know.
If there was, Lin Ruicai would definitely find a way to inform him, and he couldn't let Su Ning 'an discover any clues …
"It's just a deal, so troublesome."
Long Yu shook his head in displeasure. However, this was the Holy City of the Five Emperors. In the Holy City of the Five Emperors, the rules set by the Alliance of Five Emperors were sacred and inviolable.
Trading with the divine rune crystals violated the rules set by the Alliance of Five Emperors. Therefore, Long Yu's actions could only be carried out in secret. This was naturally very troublesome.
Soon, the Lin Merchant Firm's auction began.
The ordinary items at the beginning, even great desolate grade combat weapons and martial techniques, didn't attract Long Yu at all. Occasionally, there would be a great desolate grade pill that Long Yu hadn't bought before. He would bid for three of them.
Even if it was a Desolate Grade High Grade Pill, the auction price would only be around two to three thousand Shenbi. Three of them added up to ten thousand Shenbi. This price was nothing to Long Yu.
Not long after, the auction began for the five types of low ancient grade pills that Lin Ruicai had mentioned. There were ten of each type.
Long Yu wanted to bid for three of each type, and each one would go for around one hundred and fifty thousand shenbi. However, after some thought, it didn't seem very likely.
The emperor realm special crystal contained five times the pure spirit energy of a mid ancient grade pill. Moreover, it could be absorbed without limit. It wasn't like ordinary pills, where the effects would be halved after taking a second one.
Therefore, it was only natural that the emperor realm special crystal was five times more valuable than mid ancient grade pills. It could be sold for at least three million shenbi.
Long Yu had already explained to Lin Ruicai in the jade slip that the emperor realm special crystal was only a mortgage. He would take it back after the transaction was completed.
In other words, Long Yu had a total of three million two hundred thousand shenbi.
"Five types of low ancient grade pills. I need three of each type. At one hundred and fifty thousand shenbi each, that's a total of two million two hundred and fifty thousand shenbi. Including the mid ancient grade pills, I don't have enough money, I really don't have enough money!"
Long Yu shook his head. Right now, he could only sell the second grade divine rune crystals. Since he didn't have enough money, he had to settle for the next best thing.
In any case, Long Yu would only get half the effects of the second pill. Since he didn't have enough money right now, he could just buy more in the future.
"Five types of low ancient grade pills, one for each type. That's a total of seven hundred thousand shenbi."
Before long, Long Yu had won the bid for the five types of low ancient grade pills. Now, it was time for the grand finale of the auction.
The truly valuable treasures were only starting to appear now!
"Mid ancient grade pill, Thousand Birds Reverence the Phoenix Pill. There are a total of three of them. Now, let's auction the first one."
The beautiful auctioneer took out three pill boxes containing three mid ancient grade pills. She exclaimed excitedly, "The starting price is two hundred thousand shenbi. Each increment must be no less than twenty thousand shenbi!"
The moment the Thousand Birds Reverence the Phoenix Pill appeared, the crowd went wild. Most of the people who had come to this auction were here for the mid ancient grade pills!
The starting price of two hundred thousand shenbi was practically free. However, the price quickly rose to four hundred thousand shenbi. At this point, the number of bidders finally began to dwindle.
In the past, every mid ancient grade pill would go for around five hundred thousand shenbi.
Long Yu thought for a moment before raising his paddle in the VIP room. "Five hundred thousand."
The moment this bid was called out, many people immediately gave up. This was only the first pill. There were still two more to come, so there was no need to raise the price too high.
Long Yu got his wish and won the Thousand Birds Reverence the Phoenix Pill. Although the spirit qi in this pill was only a fifth of the emperor realm divine rune crystals, Long Yu still needed it very much. It was better than nothing.
The next two Thousand Birds Reverence the Phoenix Pills were sold for over five hundred thousand shenbi. One was sold for five hundred and forty thousand shenbi, while the other was sold for five hundred and sixty thousand shenbi.
This made Long Yu's heart skip a beat. When another mid ancient grade pill, the Sunset Pill, appeared, Long Yu immediately called out a bid of five hundred and forty thousand shenbi.
