Chapter 122: Rejecting Lin Xin, Selling Radiant Equipment, Valued at 80,000 Gold Coins, Starting Bid 50,000
At this moment, the Emerald Dual-Blade Demon was covered in horrific damage. Countless holes had been blasted through its body, a sight that sent chills down the spine and filled onlookers with fear.
Good grief, it really was like this.
This was simply too bizarre.
Why was it so ruthless?
The green-haired youth who had originally wanted the Emerald Dual-Blade Demon—Lin Xin—was completely stunned. He suddenly regretted stepping out impulsively, and even more so regretted not looking carefully earlier. He had rushed out the moment he heard the words "Emerald Dual-Blade Demon."
This was far too outrageous.
"What do you need?" Li Xin looked at Lin Xin in front of her, a trace of confusion flashing in her eyes. Her business had been interrupted for no clear reason, and anyone would be unhappy about that. The fact that she did not directly show her anger already demonstrated her composure.
If this had been her two years ago, she would have spoken up immediately.
"Was this Emerald Dual-Blade Demon killed by you?" Lin Xin asked curiously. With matters already at this point, he might as well ask directly.
"I killed it. What about it?"
Li Xin found the man genuinely strange. If she had not killed it herself, how could she possibly be selling it?
However, before Lin Xin could say anything more, Ye Ling suddenly stepped forward in silence. He gently pulled Li Xin's arm without using force. Li Xin felt this and raised no objection, immediately stepping aside and giving the position to Ye Ling.
She wanted to see what he was planning to do.
When Lin Xin saw Ye Ling walk over, he paused, momentarily distracted from his thoughts, and looked at him with confusion, wondering what this person intended to do.
"The Holy Alliance Auction House originally gave you an auction price of 1,200 gold coins, with an estimated value of 1,500. I can offer 2,500 gold coins. That's double the overall price. I'm being very sincere," Lin Xin said, brushing back his green hair and speaking confidently, clearly believing his offer showed ample sincerity.
Anyone who could become a VIP at the Holy Alliance Auction House was either extremely wealthy or highly powerful. In other words, their strength was certainly formidable.
This fellow was even a VIP.
That was simply unbelievable.
Hearing this, the surrounding crowd could not help but laugh, and no one said anything further.
Radiant-tier equipment—judging from what they were seeing, the level of this staff was clearly extraordinary.
The moment this was mentioned, everyone was shocked.
From their appearance, these people all seemed to be outstanding young elites, powerful figures who would likely join a Demon Hunt Squad in the future.
When his gaze landed on Long Haochen, he froze.
Even Long Haochen, the Child of Light, could not truly compare. At best, he would only not be considered much inferior.
After a brief pause, a thick smile appeared on his face. Looking at Ye Ling, he revealed a somewhat flattering expression and said, "This is Radiant-tier equipment, and it's even a top-grade piece among Radiant-tier items. It's not far from Legendary tier. Converted into gold coins, its value should be around 80,000 gold coins. The starting bid I can give you would be roughly 50,000 gold coins."
The tier of the staff before them—
"Radiant tier. This is a Radiant-tier staff. May I ask if you plan to place it here for auction?" the appraiser said. It was obvious that he was extremely excited and thrilled.
Lin Xin murmured to himself, his worldview beginning to crumble. He genuinely had not known this. Ye Ling's looks at the beginning had not been much better than his own—at most about 1.1 times Lin Xin—but after awakening, his appearance had skyrocketed. Now, he was far beyond what Lin Xin could compare to.
She was not afraid of girls liking Ye Ling. After all, how could someone so outstanding not be liked?
"All right." The man nodded and did not hesitate any further. He picked up the Radiant treasure and placed it back for appraisal.
Then, as he looked at Ye Ling's handsome face, nurtured by countless strands of light-element aura, his eyes widened in shock. After a moment, he once again revealed an expression of disbelief and said, "So handsome. How can there be someone this handsome?"
"So handsome."
Lin Xin muttered softly, clearly shaken by Ye Ling's appearance.
"Impossible."
For Ye Ling himself, it did not really matter. If it were someone else, perhaps he would not know, but when it came to Lin Xin, he knew him very well. In a certain sense, he even understood Lin Xin better than Lin Xin understood himself.
But suddenly, he noticed Ye Ling's appearance again.
If this auction could pass through his hands and cause a major sensation, then his future path of advancement would certainly be extraordinary. Moreover, if he could build a good relationship with someone capable of auctioning Radiant-tier equipment, perhaps he himself could rise rapidly in the future.
But men were out of the question.
Mm.
If a man liked Ye Ling, that would be far too—
Seeing Li Xin's expression, a strange look appeared on Lin Xin's face. He then looked at Li Xin with an odd expression and said, "Aren't you thinking too much?"
At these words, everyone froze, eyes widening as they stared at him in curiosity.
Lin Xin's expression changed, and he felt somewhat dazed. He had already offered above the market price. One should know that even a fully intact Emerald Dual-Blade Demon would only be worth about this much.
And that was already considered extremely valuable.
"Respected VIP, you have the right to make an advance offer to purchase the item, as long as the seller agrees," the appraiser said.
Although the appraiser was not a powerful expert and his cultivation was only at the fourth rank, the reason he could remain here for so long was his keen ability to appraise treasures.
Meanwhile, Li Xin stood protectively in front of Ye Ling, like a mother guarding her cub, her gaze dangerous as she stared at Lin Xin.
However, in the very next moment, Ye Ling's action cut off the confusion.
Lin Xin froze in place.
"Are you satisfied?"
Ye Ling chose to take out an extremely massive staff from his storage space. It released a dazzling and surging aura, and upon closer sensing, one could feel an intensely scorching fire element contained within.
"Sorry. Although 2,500 gold coins is a lot, I'm not lacking that 2,500 gold coins," Ye Ling said, shaking his head to refuse.
"So much more handsome than me?"
Good grief—two at once.
In just a moment, he understood.
Moreover, when Lin Xin had stepped out earlier, he had been holding that so-called VIP card, so the appraiser recognized his identity. He did not ask him to leave, instead standing respectfully to the side.
Then he turned to look toward another position.
That was why Lin Xin was so shaken at this moment.
"Exactly so. I ask that you appraise it," Ye Ling said with a laugh, his tone calm and without any hint of condescension.
The appraiser spoke ingratiatingly, clearly extremely excited. If Ye Ling agreed, it would be wonderful.
Lin Xin, standing to the side, was completely stunned.
Valued at 80,000 gold coins, starting bid 50,000.
Good grief.
How much medicine would he need to sell—
to have that kind of money?
