Long Yu narrowed his eyes and started to ponder.
"Two mid-grade ancient weapons, five low-grade ancient weapons, a total of 1.74 million divine coins …"
His current total assets were four million divine coins. Since he would have to sell the Divine Rune Crystals sooner or later, he would only be left with 2.2 million divine coins when he left the auction house.
He was going to participate in the Su Family Medicine Hall's auction. He was determined to get the Shadow Emperor Pill, and he was going to get all three of them!
It was easy to imagine how difficult it would be. A mere 2.2 million divine coins might not be enough!
Long Yu fiddled with the ancient low-grade combat weapon in his arms, the Pale Coldblade from Emperor Yundun. Since he was already in the Holy City of the Five Emperors, he didn't need to worry about Emperor Yundun's revenge anymore. He could sell this combat weapon now!
Other than that, since Long Yu could make a cultivation jade slip for a seventh grade Divine Chain in a short period of time, it wouldn't be cheap either. If that wasn't enough … Long Yu planned to write down the cultivation method of the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill into a jade slip and auction it!
The Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill was a high-grade Great Desolate Martial Skill, and it was a very practical martial skill. If it was sold, it could be sold for at least a million divine coins.
Compared to pills and combat weapons of the same grade, martial skills were the most valuable. The most expensive high-grade Great Desolate Combat Weapon was only a hundred thousand divine coins, but martial skills were completely different.
This was also the reason why no power in the North Snow Dynasty had a high-grade Great Desolate Martial Skill, because it was too expensive. In the Holy City of the Five Emperors, it could be sold for a million divine coins. In the remote areas, it could be sold for at least two to three million divine coins.
For a power like the Long House, their annual expenditure was only a million divine coins. Where would they find the extra money to buy a high-grade Great Desolate Martial Skill?
It wasn't that they couldn't afford it, it was just that there was no need for it. If the two to three million divine coins were used to buy pills and combat weapons, it would increase the overall strength of the Long House. Comparing the two, the Long House could only choose to buy pills and combat weapons.
An ancient low-grade combat weapon like the Pale Coldblade could be sold for at least five hundred thousand divine coins, maybe even more. Adding it all together, it would be close to two million divine coins.
However, this was still not enough!
Long Yu thought that the Su Family Medicine Hall should also have unique ancient grade medicinal pills. If he wanted to buy them, he would have to get more money.
"I'll first craft the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill and Spectral Spiral jade scrolls, then sell the Ashen Coldblade. I'll definitely get more than two million divine coins …"
The things that Long Yu sold were all obtained by chance, and had nothing to do with the inheritance of the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor. Even the seventh-grade Divine Chain, the Spectral Spiral, was only related to the Envoy of Death, and had nothing to do with the Jiuyou Dragon Emperor.
Therefore, the sale of these things wouldn't affect Long Yu much.
As for the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill, if it was bought by an enemy … what a joke, that would be even better. If Long Yu's enemy had enough money to buy a high-grade Great Desolate Grade martial skill, then using the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill on Long Yu would be much better than using other unknown martial skills on Long Yu.
Long Yu himself had trained the Ancient Desolate Shadow Kill to perfection, and his understanding of this skill was deeper than anyone else's. If others tried to train it, they would only be displaying their slight skill in front of Long Yu!
Before the Lin Shop's auction ended, Long Yu had already left the VIP room and walked towards the back, waiting for Lin Rui to bring the ancient grade medicinal pills over.
Although he had left the auction hall, Long Yu could still hear the voices in the hall. The next item to be auctioned was an ancient low-grade combat weapon, which was sold for six hundred thousand divine coins.
Finally, there were the three Heavenly Dragon Pills that the Lin Shop had concocted this month. They were all Great Desolate Grade Transcendent Grade Pills.
Although the Heavenly Dragon Pill was placed last, it was obvious that the crowd wasn't very enthusiastic about it. Although it was a Transcendent Grade Transcendent Grade Pill, it didn't have an obvious effect on compatibility with Divine Runes. Excluding this point, the Heavenly Dragon Pill was only equivalent to an ancient low-grade medicinal pill.
The first Heavenly Dragon Pill was sold for two hundred thousand divine coins.
When Long Yu heard the news, he frowned slightly. He still remembered that back in the City of Desolate God, the General's Mansion's trading house, the three Heavenly Dragon Pills were sold for one hundred and fifty thousand divine coins each. Now, it seemed like there was a problem with the three Heavenly Dragon Pills!
Could it be that they were robbed halfway?
Long Yu shook his head. No matter what, he knew that the three Heavenly Dragon Pills were not fake. As for why there was a difference in the price, there were many reasons. Long Yu couldn't be bothered to guess, because there was no point in guessing.
Right now, the Lin Shop is not competitive in terms of Transcendent Grade Transcendent Grade Pills …
Long Yu thought to himself.
The Heavenly Dragon Pill's effect on compatibility with divine characters was too weak, causing its price to be unable to rise. However, the cost of refining it wasn't much lower than other great desolate grade pills. In other words, the Lin Merchant Company's profits in this area weren't high.
Compared to the Brilliant Flame Saint Pill and the Shadow Emperor Pill, the effects of the Heavenly Dragon Pill were simply too weak.
"The Shadow Royal Pill is worth at least five hundred thousand each. Furthermore, if there are more competitors, the price will increase by quite a bit. I must be fully prepared. I must get three Shadow Royal Pills!"
Long Yu made up his mind.
The Shadow Royal Pill had an obvious effect on one's compatibility with the Shadow attribute. Even if it was an ordinary Martial Cultivator, a single Shadow Royal Pill was enough to raise their compatibility from the fourth level to the fifth level. The effect was at least three times that of the Heavenly Dragon Pill.
If Long Yu were to take it instead, the effect would be three times stronger. With three Shadow Emperor Pills, he would definitely be able to reach the seventh level of compatibility with the shadow-attribute divine text!
Soon, Lin Ruicai came down from the front desk and asked someone to bring two mid-ancient medicinal pills and five low-ancient medicinal pills to Long Yu.
"Seven pills, one million seven hundred and forty thousand shenbi. That special crystal is worth three million divine coins, so I still owe you more than a million divine coins. "
Lin Ruicai smiled and said, "Let's go, Brother Wang Tie. How about coming to my house?"
Hearing this, Long Yu narrowed his eyes before nodding his head.
He knew that this was an invitation from Lin Ruicai, and it definitely had something to do with the divine runic crystals. He naturally couldn't refuse.
"Let's go. The auction is over. There's no need for us to stay here."
After Lin Rui finished speaking, he led the way and directly left the auction house of Lin's Firm.
The peerless beauty of the Su Clan's Medicine Hall, Su Ningan, had her eyes locked on Long Yu and Lin Ruicai. But when she saw that they were headed for Lin Ruicai's residence, she frowned and didn't follow.
Su Ningan only had a faint hunch about the divine runic crystals during her deductions, but she didn't have any proof. In fact, she wasn't even sure if it was a transaction involving divine runic crystals.
"Is it really just the special crystal of an emperor realm cultivator?"
Su Ningan shook her head and left.
She had a lot of things to do and couldn't be bothered to waste too much time here. Since she hadn't discovered anything, she should hurry back and prepare for the Su Clan's month-end auction!
… …
Inside Lin Ruicai's residence, Long Yu followed him all the way to a basement.
"There's a formation here personally set up by a spirit formation master. It can resist any great emperor's deductions. Many of our Lin Firm's secret transactions are conducted in this basement."
Lin Ruicai let out a sigh of relief after entering the basement and smiled at Long Yu.
There was no one else in the basement except for the two of them. No matter what they talked about, they wouldn't be discovered.
"Mm, now we can properly calculate. As for the divine runic crystals … take a look."
Long Yu smiled faintly and took out all three hundred and fifty second grade divine runic crystals.
Divine runic crystals, they really were divine runic crystals!
The lighting in the basement was dim, but Lin Ruicai could clearly see the excitement on his face. "As expected, they are all second-tier divine runic crystals. Every second-tier divine runic crystal, if converted, can increase a cultivator's comprehension of the power of the divine runic symbols by at least one ten-thousandth, and this is only in theory! In reality, these three hundred and fifty divine runic crystals can increase a cultivator's comprehension by at least ten percent! "
Long Yu was surprised when he heard this.
Second grade divine runic crystals could indeed increase his comprehension by one ten-thousandth. Then, three hundred and fifty divine runic crystals should only increase his comprehension by a little more than three percent at most. How could it be ten percent?
But Long Yu quickly understood.
Second grade divine runic crystals could increase one's comprehension by one ten-thousandth, and that was the power of origin divine runic power!
But in the Shen Wu world, there were probably no cultivators who could comprehend the power of origin divine runic power. The majority of cultivators could only comprehend the power of divine runic power by engraving divine runic power. Compared to origin divine runic power, it was normal for one's comprehension speed to be three times faster.
"I'll return this emperor realm special crystal to you."
Lin Ruicai reluctantly threw the emperor realm special crystal to Long Yu and said: "Three hundred and fifty divine runic crystals, that's a total of three million five hundred thousand shenbi. Deducting the one million seven hundred and forty thousand shenbi from the auction, I still need to give you one million seven hundred and sixty thousand shenbi."
"Wait."
As Lin Ruicai was about to take out the shenbi, Long Yu waved his hand and took out the Pale Coldblade from his chest pocket.
"This is an ancient low-tier combat weapon. Do you want it for five hundred thousand shenbi?"
Long Yu asked straightforwardly.
In the auction just now, an ancient low-tier combat weapon was sold for six hundred thousand shenbi. If he bought it for five hundred thousand shenbi, the Lin Merchant Firm would definitely make a profit.
Even in the Holy City of the Five Emperors, an ancient low-tier combat weapon was a very precious item. Only a small number of cultivators had the chance to obtain one!
"Five hundred thousand, no problem."
Lin Ruicai was shocked. After taking the Pale Coldblade and observing it for a while, he nodded his head in agreement.
Although ancient low-tier combat weapons weren't rare in the Holy City of the Five Emperors, there were very few of them in the market. The three big merchant firms combined only sold less than five of them every month.
The fact that Long Yu could take out an ancient low-tier combat weapon for sale was indeed out of Lin Ruicai's expectations.
However, when he thought about how Long Yu's family had even ransacked a beast's nest, it wasn't strange for them to take out an ancient low-tier combat weapon.
"Do you have any jade slips here?"
Long Yu threw the Pale Coldblade into Lin Ruicai's hand and asked: "I also have a cultivation method for seventh grade God Chains, and a Great Desolate High-Tier martial skill to sell."
Great Desolate High-Tier martial skill!
Seventh grade God Chains!
