Lin clan.
At this moment, even the Vermilion Bird Challenge had become secondary.
The ten upper echelons of the three giants were gathered together. At this moment, they were deep in discussion and their faces and necks were red.
"Is it true? That is but a Human Rank Fifth Rank Astral Treasure! "
"That is to say, let alone Human Rank Fifth Grade, Astral Treasures and Astral Weapons of the Sixth Grade and above are extremely 'taboo' for each tool refinement clan. Who would be willing to take them out?"
"I think so too. He's just a savage martial artist. How could he have obtained such a refining manual!?"
"Not necessarily. There are too many possibilities in the Endless Wilderness."
…
Everyone chimed in one after another, but most of them didn't believe it.
However, Lin Yan's words blocked everyone's mouths, "There's no need to argue about this anymore. Clan Leader and I have personally verified it, and it's no different from a real refining guide book."
"That's right." Lin Zhen sternly said, "Great Master Lin Yan has already personally tested it and successfully refined the 'Clear Sky Chain.' It is indeed a Middle Grade Fifth Rank Astral Treasure." In an instant, everyone's voices were stifled. They argued until their faces and ears turned red. Only then did they realize that the argument was a little 'ridiculous'.
Lam Tok Tei's eyes twinkled: "Human Rank Fifth Rank Astral Treasure. This kind of tool refinement guidebook has a price but no market. The price is difficult to estimate."
Lin Zhong nodded and said, "At the very least, it's worth more than 20,000 star crystals. Although it's a defensive type, if it were to be auctioned in a large auction house, I'm afraid its price would be close to 30,000 star crystals."
"No, it's even higher." Lin Zhen shook his head.
"More than 30,000 star crystals? That's impossible. Logically speaking, it should be worth around 25,000 Star Crystals. " Grand Elder Lin Zhongxian wrinkled his brow, "Although it is very rare, it is reported that several tens of thousands of years ago, when other counties auctioned off equivalent Astral Treasures, the transaction amount was no more than twenty-four thousand Star Crystals."
"Pull one hair and the whole situation will be affected." Lin Yan sighed.
Lin Zhen nodded: "Once the auction starts, I'm afraid the Luo Shi Clan will fight to the death with us, not giving in to each other. Moreover, we have to be wary of the rich and powerful Pang family, who may intercept us. After all, whether we or the Luo Shi family gets it, it will be a great threat to the Pang family. "
With competition, the price of goods would naturally increase.
Lin Feng did not expect the price to be so high. After all, he was not familiar with this' market '.
Lam Tok Tei remained silent because he knew that what Lin Zhen said was true. Especially since the Luo Shi Clan wouldn't let go even if it was a life and death struggle.
This matter concerned the status of the two major craftsmen families in Shiluo County.
How could there be the slightest mistake!
"It's actually very simple." Lin Zhongxian's eyes flashed with killing intent, "In any case, we already know about this' Refining Guide Book '. This Lin Feng's background is unknown, and we don't know what his intentions are for suddenly offering the book. We might as well kill him and get it over with. When the time comes, we won't even need to spend a single cent to obtain the Refining Guide Book!"
Lin Yan snorted with disdain.
Lin Zhen shook his head without a second thought. His voice was calm as he said, "If I do that, I'm afraid I'll be worse than a pig or a dog. How can I lead the clan if I'm not upright?"
As a person, he should be magnanimous.
Although most of the surrounding cultivators objected, no one would think of such a 'rotten idea'.
"Blockhead, you don't know how to be flexible," Lin Zhongxian scolded inwardly. Feeling the gazes of the crowd, his old face turned red and he didn't say anything else.
Lin Zhen also felt helpless. After all, Lin Zhongxian wasn't a craftsmen and could say anything. One had to know that this kind of thing was a 'great taboo' among craftsmen. Once it spread, not only would the reputation of the craftsmen themselves be destroyed, but even the reputation of the entire craftsmen family would be destroyed.
He definitely couldn't do that.
"What did Lin Feng say?" Lam Tok Tei suddenly asked.
Lin Zhen and Lin Yan looked at each other and said seriously, "We raised the price from 10,000 star crystals to 20,000 star crystals, but he still didn't agree."
Lam Tok Tei smiled calmly. "He's small, but his appetite is quite big."
…
His appetite was indeed big.
Because Lin Feng's ambition wasn't in star crystals.
Although money was indispensable, there were many things that couldn't be bought.
For example, if he didn't have a friendship with Master Yan Qing, how could he obtain a 300 times time engraving formation? Many 'supreme-grade' existences could only be obtained by bartering or relying on friendship, favors, and so on. It wasn't something that could be bought with money alone.
Soon, another three days had passed.
Lin Feng slowly walked out of the engraving formation with a faint smile on his face.
The second negotiation.
…
…
This time, the lineup was even bigger.
The Lin clan made promises with benefits and moved with emotions, so they attached great importance to it.
However, the negotiations still failed.
"He insists on the right to use the 400 times time engraving formation. What do you think?" Lin Zhen rubbed the space between his eyebrows and felt helpless.
If it was just money, it would be better. The clan didn't lack money at all.
This kind of 'priceless item' could be accepted if it was slightly more expensive.
In any case, they could earn it back in the future.
However …
"Ridiculous. The 400 times time engraving formation is in the central area. How can outsiders be allowed to enter!" Lin Zhongxian glared angrily.
"Clan Leader, please reconsider. The price is too high." Lam Tok Tei hit the nail on the head. "Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Our Lin clan's rules were set by our ancestors. How can we overstep them? At most, it will fall into the auction and we will compete with the Luo clan. Many things can't be measured by money. "
Lin Yan stroked his long beard and nodded. "Everyone has their own bottom line. Lin Feng might not have much desire for money."
There were different opinions, but Lin Zhen understood in his heart.
Indeed, there were many examples that couldn't be broken.
…
In the garden house.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, was the calmest.
"The 400 times time engraving formation …" Lin Feng smiled.
Although he was very eager, compared to the 'right to use', he wanted to obtain the right to own it more.
"Clans are different from sects."
"They are the most particular about rules. They most likely won't agree to my request."
"But now, they should know what I want."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, but he took a step back in order to advance.
Time and time again, he increased his bargaining chips and obtained the greatest benefits.
In this kind of transaction, the party who revealed their trump card first would definitely lose a little and be controlled by the other party.
"But there's no need to go too far."
"If we take a step back, we will have time to get along in the future."
"The third time, no matter what the result is, I'll 'gift' this refining guide book to them."
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
To him, the Azure Cloud Chain's refining guidebook was like a chicken rib to him. It didn't have much use.
Perhaps he could get a higher price if he took it to the auction, but this would undoubtedly be a resounding slap to the Lin clan's face. Their relationship would probably end here. For a little money, he would lose a lot of intangible benefits. To him —
It was not worth it.
…
…
It had been half a month since the Vermilion Bird Challenge began.
In Shiluo County, the top powerhouses had all passed the qualifying round and entered the next round.
Even if they lost for a while, the second and third chances were enough for those powerhouses to pass without any danger. The rest was a contest of mid-level strength. It was not easy to stand out.
However, no one would pay attention to it.
Even if the remaining cultivators passed, the chances of them passing the qualifying round were extremely low.
Between the Clouds District.
"You're finally out?" Pulsatilla looked at his great-grandson helplessly.
"Thank you for the trouble, great-grandfather." Bai Qi smiled casually. The relationship between grandfather and grandson was very harmonious.
"The top 1,000 seeds all passed. None of them took more than 10 days." Pulsatilla smiled bitterly. "You, the 96th seed, actually took half a month to come out. Was the 32nd battle zone that exciting?"
Thinking about it, Pulsatilla could not help but shake his head.
When Bai Qi came out, he had collected more than 100,000 Battle Stars. It was quite shocking.
"It's okay." Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and smiled.
"You met an opponent?" Pulsatilla frowned.
Bai Qi nodded and did not hide it. His eyes were fierce. "A very powerful youth."
"Oh?" Pulsatilla was quite surprised. He had just asked casually and did not expect Bai Qi to really answer. "The 32nd seed, Liu Xufeng? The 64th seed, Jie Min? "
Bai Qi's eyes sparkled as that person and spear appeared in his mind. He said softly, "It's a one-star general around my age."
One-star general?
Pulsatilla froze and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You little brat, you're joking with your great-grandfather again."
Bai Qi smiled indifferently and did not explain further. In fact, he himself did not know the name of that 'One Star War General'. Clenching his fist and feeling the changes in his body, Bai Qi was very satisfied. "Don't worry, grandfather. I will not disappoint you in the qualifying round."
His words were filled with confidence. Bai Qi smiled calmly and turned to leave.
He had the strength!
…
Lin clan.
At this moment, only Lin Zhen and Lin Feng were left. They had already reached the last stage of the one-on-one.
"I'm sorry. Although I want to agree to your request, the clan rules cannot be broken. Non-direct cultivators are not allowed to enter the central area." Lin Zhen said seriously. "The best treatment the clan can give you is the 300 times time carving array."
Lin Feng didn't say anything.
But in his heart, he was already smiling.
He had easily achieved his initial goal.
"Uh." Seeing that Lin Feng's expression did not change, Lin Zhen immediately laughed heartily. "Brother Lin, if you can sell the 'Clear Cloud Chain' refining guidebook, the clan's contribution will be enough to raise you to a third-grade branch family cultivator. In addition, the clan will compensate you for the difference of 10000 star crystals according to the market price of 25000 star crystals."
Lin Feng snorted.
He was just 'putting on a show', but he did not expect that Lin Zhen would increase the price in such a short time. Unexpected!
This' refining guidebook 'seemed to be more valuable than he thought.
"The conditions are very generous."
"It seems that the Lin clan is determined to get it."
Lin Feng's eyes flashed as he looked straight at Lin Zhen. The latter sighed, thinking that Lin Feng was asking for too much, but he also felt helpless.
After all, it was a refining guidebook for a Fifth Grade Astral Treasure. In Shiluo County, it was priceless. Although the 300 times time carving array was also priceless, it was still inferior in terms of preciousness. Most importantly, this' refining guidebook 'to the clan …
Was too important!
"Lin Feng, if you have any requests, feel free to speak frankly," Lin Zhen said seriously.
One sentence was enough to express his thoughts.
Lin Feng smiled and raised his head to look at Lin Zhen.
Now, the game was coming to an end.
