The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 764: Chapter 764: Finale Auction Item

”Ten billion?”

Lin Tian was only making a gesture to sell for thirty thousand.

Unexpectedly, these two old men increased the price for him.

”Little brother, thirty billion is really too much. How about making it cheaper?”

At this moment, the two old men had shed all their elder demeanor, completely at Lin Tian’s mercy for the prescription.

Lin Tian let out a long sigh, clutching his chest with a pained expression: ”Alright, I see you two elders sincerely want it, so I’ll make it cheaper. We’re making friends, aren’t we?”

”Yes, yes, making friends.”

The two old men didn’t expect Lin Tian would be so straightforward. The price dropped from thirty billion to ten billion, and they didn’t even know how to react to the gap.

Should they praise Lin Tian for being a true friend or for being foolish?

”We’ll pay five billion first, and if no issues are discovered with the prescription within a month, we’ll give you the other five billion immediately. If issues arise after a month, we definitely won’t come after you; we’ll just admit our own lack of skill. How does that sound to you?”

The Sixth Elder felt they were being a bit excessive, cutting twenty billion and still playing with two-step payments.

”Sure, no problem, I’ll give you my account number later, and you can transfer the money,” Lin Tian agreed without hesitation, surprising the two old men even more. They concluded: this young man must have seen a lot of money before!

”Uh, little brother, do you have a lot of those prescriptions?” Mr. Tang asked tentatively, even though Lin Tian had mentioned it before, he still wanted to confirm.

Lin Tian nodded: ”There are quite a lot.”

”Would it be convenient to ask where they came from? Oh, don’t get me wrong, I’m just curious.”

It wasn’t just Mr. Tang who was curious; the Sixth Elder was curious too. Where did this guy come from, covered in treasures?

The Celestial Dragon Continent was vast and rich, the twelve ancient martial families and the family alliance could be said to monopolize all the cultivation resources of the Celestial Dragon Continent. But they wouldn’t dare claim that there were no other ancient martial forces in the continent.

Not counting martial arts masters, there’s also the Gu Poison Clan, and some hidden families, though they are few, they definitely exist.

If Lin Tian were a loose cultivator, the two old men wouldn’t believe it. Loose cultivators wouldn’t even know what a prescription is, right?

So the two old men were sure that Lin Tian was a disciple of some hidden family.

If his elders knew that such a precious prescription was sold for ten billion, they’d break his legs, wouldn’t they?

Lin Tian had anticipated this question from the two of them, so he had prepared an answer. ”The family doesn’t allow me to say.”

A mere five words made the two old men reveal an expression of ’as expected,’ and they decided not to probe further, because no matter how they asked, they wouldn’t find out about such a family.

”By selling this prescription, won’t your family come looking for trouble?” Mr. Tang asked, still apprehensive, because such things weren’t supposed to be freely passed on.

Lin Tian laughed and patted his chest: ”Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll handle it!”

In the following time, Lin Tian wrote down the final steps for forming the pill on a sheet of paper and handed it to the two old men.

Treating the prescription like a treasure, they stored it away, and suddenly heard Lin Tian say: ”Gentlemen, I want to sell another prescription, or a heart method, at an auction this time, no private sales.”

Mr. Tang said with a smile and shake of his head: ”Little brother, what are you selling this time? Isn’t ten billion enough for you? If you have good things, our Tang Family is honestly interested.”

Lin Tian smiled: ”This time, I don’t plan to sell for money, I don’t really lack it. I remember at the auction, you could trade things, right?”

”Yes, indeed. You can specify an item, and if someone bids with that item, the transaction can be finalized. If no one uses an item to bid, your item will go unsold,” the Sixth Elder explained.

”What if someone bids with the same thing?” Lin Tian asked.

”Then it depends on whose item is of better quality. If the quality is the same, additional money is offered, and the higher bidder wins.”

Lin Tian laughed: ”That’s quite interesting.”

”Little brother, what do you want to trade for this time?”

”An alchemy furnace. I just happen to be missing one of those.”

”Are you selling a prescription or a heart method this time? We’ll have to verify those before the trade, you know, friends in life, business is business.”

The two old men were directly trying to get closer to Lin Tian, calling each other brother and friend.

With such a naive and rich young man, who wouldn’t want to cozy up to him?

After thinking for a while, Lin Tian asked: ”Let’s sell a heart method. What kind of heart method do you think would sell well?”

Here we go again! He actually has choices.

After thinking for a moment, the Sixth Elder said: ”I’d recommend two kinds. One is a heart method that enhances explosiveness without side effects, the other is a calming heart method that can stabilize a heart demon.”

A true expert can recognize quality at a glance.

The two heart methods the Sixth Elder mentioned, the explosive type techniques are scarce, let alone ones without side effects. It’s like adding a buff in a battle. Of course, after the outburst, there will be a period of weakness, but that’s definitely not a side effect!

The other one, a calming heart method that could stabilize a heart demon, is even rarer.

Cultivators are also humans, and everyone has emotions and desires. Even normal people become complicated because of their emotions and desires, let alone cultivators, whose desires are magnified and become heart demons blocking the path of cultivation.

Stabilizing the Dao heart and locking in the heart demon. How many cultivators dream of that?

Of these two heart methods, Lin Tian only had the calming one, but he didn’t want to sell it. Because it’s indeed a valuable item. If sold to a future enemy, won’t that be a mess?

As for the explosive heart method, he didn’t have it. However, in the Tyrant Emperor’s Record, there was a method that allowed him to instantly enhance all attributes, which he used when saving Bai Shishi and fighting against the cultivators from Sakula Country, resulting in being bedridden for several days.

After pondering for a while, Lin Tian said: ”I have another heart method that accelerates spiritual qi recovery, oh, I mean inner strength recovery, it only recovers inner strength, not increases it. Do you think it can be sold?”

”Oh?” The two old men became interested and asked in unison, ”How much can it accelerate?”

”It varies from person to person, but at least doubles the speed.”

”Hiss~” The two old men gasped, this kid has way too many good things!

If two evenly matched opponents fought to the death, and both were exhausted, if one possessed this heart method, it would signify an overwhelming victory!

Even facing an enemy slightly stronger than oneself, one would still have the strength to fight!

How could such a heart method not be strong?

”If it truly has such an effect, then it can definitely be sold. Now that the item is confirmed, let this be the closing highlight of the auction.”
