Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

As for Duanmu Bo, spending two hundred fifty thousand soul coins to buy the Thunder Fruit, others probably consider him a spendthrift, and he’d surely get a scolding from the elders at home.

After all, with the power of the Duanmu Family, finding the Thunder Fruit wouldn’t be hard, just requires some extra time. The auction continued, Liu Yiyi spent tens of thousands of soul coins acquiring some items, while Meng Qingge and Meng Ziling didn’t make any bids. After all, the Meng Family’s status is huge, getting any precious treasure isn’t hard for them, and moreover,

they were the hosts of this auction. If there were items they needed, they probably had already secretly negotiated with the sellers to purchase them before the auction began.

”It’s a pity not to have gotten the Thunder Fruit this time!”

Lin Mo sighed lightly in his heart. Without the aid of the Thunder Fruit, it would take at least six months to condense the tenth Star Power. Of course, with the aid of medicine and intensified training, it could shorten by a month.

”Next up is a rather peculiar item, Ice Flame, a treasure left by a Star System Level Expert who comprehended the Water Element Law. It’s quite beneficial for Magic Users cultivating the Water Element Law. The starting bid is one hundred thousand soul coins!”

The elderly auctioneer said slowly, a square jade box appearing in his palm, entirely white jade, emitting cold energy, with a mass of ’flames’ lying quietly inside, pure white flames entwined with strands of chill.

An Ice Flame refined by a Star System Level Expert?

Lin Mo stared at that mass of Ice Flame, suddenly feeling an ’impulsion’ within his body, uncontrollably emanating, as if a beggar starving for a dozen days saw an exquisite banquet, his entire True Yuan starting to surge up.

”This is indeed a good thing; it requires a lot of effort even for a Star System Level Expert to refine a Principle Treasure.” Meng Qingge said slowly, looking at the mass of Ice Flame.

”An Ice Flame refined by a Star System Level Expert could sell for tens of thousands of soul coins?”

Lin Mo blinked his eyes. It took quite a bit of effort for him to acquire these tens of thousands of soul coins, and there was a certain degree of risk involved. An ordinary Galaxy Level cultivator might not even be able to come up with ten thousand soul coins. ”Do you think Star System Level Experts are everywhere? To be known as a Star System Level Expert is to be the top expert in a Star System. Even in the Canglan Star Domain, they are extremely rare. They are willing to spend time using the comprehended Law to refine and sell treasures to the weaker ones, just to make it easier for them to comprehend the Law. For just this reason, many experts who are not short of money aren’t willing to refine such treasures.”

Meng Qingge sneered slightly, rolling her eyes at Lin Mo, who came from Yu Lan Star as a ’country bumpkin’, and explained.

Upon hearing Meng Qingge’s words, Lin Mo nodded secretly.

”Two hundred thousand soul coins, is there a higher bid?”

The auctioneer’s voice reached Lin Mo’s ears once again.

”Two hundred twenty thousand soul coins!”

”Two hundred thirty thousand soul coins...” At such a price, fewer people were vying for the Ice Flame. After all, while the Ice Flame was precious, there weren’t many willing to spend over two hundred thousand soul coins to purchase it, and everyone came for what they needed. If they bought the Ice Flame, there wouldn’t be enough soul coins left for the items they needed.

”Two hundred fifty soul coins!”

Lin Mo said lightly. Since the Thunder Fruit was not obtained, he might as well purchase the Ice Flame. From it, Lin Mo felt a yearning that came from deep within his heart.

”Anyone else bidding?” the auctioneer said with a smile.

Everyone glanced at the box where Lin Mo was. Those few bidding didn’t say anything this time, as Lin Mo was with the Meng Family. Unless absolutely necessary, no one wanted to offend the Meng Family.

”Alright, congratulations to this young sir for purchasing the Ice Flame.” The auctioneer glanced at the box where Lin Mo was and said with a smile.

Soon after, the staff from the auction delivered the Space Ring containing the Ice Flame to Lin Mo, and Lin Mo handed over the soul coins in full.

”Seems like this money really isn’t enough, huh?” Lin Mo shook his head inwardly. He thought he was a wealthy man, but upon entering another circle, he realized he was a pauper.

A single auction nearly depleted all his wealth, turning him into a pauper once again.

Slowly opening the jade box, if the Ice Flame in the box were in ’flame’ form, waves of biting cold would instantly spread out, causing the temperature in the box to plummet by over ten degrees.

”A treasure refined by a Star System Level Expert using the Water Law?”

Lin Mo’s eyes were fervent as he stared at the Ice Flame in the jade box, his entire True Yuan beginning to circulate involuntarily. For the Ice Flame, there seemed to be a yearning feeling from his True Yuan inside his body.

”I don’t have anything else I want to buy at the auction; I should head back to refine this Ice Flame. Senior Sister Liu, Eldest Miss Meng, Second Miss, I’ll take my leave!” Lin Mo looked at the three stunning beauties in the box, each with their unique charm, and cupped his hands in farewell.

”Mr. Lin, are you returning to the Seven Sects?” Meng Qingge asked.

”Yes, there’s still a month and a half until the Seven Sects arena tournament begins. Now that I’ve obtained what I wanted, I need to seize the time to enhance my strength and strive for a good ranking in the tournament.” Lin Mo replied with a smile.

”Alright then, we will definitely come to watch.” Meng Qingge smiled and nodded.

Afterward, Lin Mo left the box, ready to leave the auction house and return to the Seven Sects to begin cultivation. However, regarding the Thunder Fruit, Lin Mo still felt a trace of resentment, ”Damn Duanmu Bo, I should have hit him harder yesterday.”

Just as Lin Mo was about to leave the auction through the back passage, he saw a woman in a black veil approaching gracefully, softly saying, ”Young sir, my eldest miss would like to meet you.”

”Who is your eldest miss?” Lin Mo’s face showed a hint of vigilance.

”The eldest miss said that if young sir comes, you’ll naturally know who she is,” the person replied with a slight smile. Even though her face was veiled in thin gauze, her vaguely visible face outlines showed she was a beauty.

Though puzzled, Lin Mo wasn’t afraid of anyone trying to harm him at this auction house, so he followed the veiled woman to a box. Just as he stepped into the box, a familiar fragrance entered his nostrils, softening his heart.

”It’s you!” In the box stood several women dressed similarly, standing silently, seemingly in the role of guards. On the luxurious wooden chair sat a woman in a black veiled dress, her face also covered with a veil, only exposing a pair of radiant and captivating eyes.

Even without seeing her face, that familiar scent made Lin Mo realize her identity. She was the woman who bought his Earth-grade Meteorite Iron at the Wanwu Pavilion yesterday.

”No need for questions, young sir. This is Thunder Liquid. I know you’re quite concerned about the Thunder Fruit, but it was taken by someone. The Thunder Fruit was actually my auction item; this Thunder Liquid’s effect is far better than the Thunder Fruit.”

The woman’s voice was gentle, with a hint of coldness, as she directly tossed a Space Ring to Lin Mo. Lin Mo scanned it with his Divine Thought. Inside the Space Ring was a transparent cylindrical tube, containing half a tube of rolling golden liquid, Thunder Arcs crackling inside, holding an intimidating power.
