Chapter 1898: Chapter 1897 Auction Ends

The mysterious figure in the black robe glanced toward Lin Dong’s direction, and from the eyes beneath the cloak, a cold glint shot out.

Then, from his mouth, he slowly uttered three words:

“Two trillion!”

Just now, Lin Dong sold those elixirs, and compared to two trillion, the price was still a bit lower.

Now, he has offered two trillion, and relying solely on the money from selling elixirs previously would be far from enough.

The man in the black robe clearly understood this point, so he directly raised the price from one trillion eight hundred billion to two trillion.

Qin Yitian spoke at this moment, “Dong Lin, is this Drought Demon Horn that important to you? Offering such a high price.”

Lin Dong nodded, “If I can obtain this Drought Demon Horn, I can use it to break through to the peak Half-Step Earth Realm Martial artist. By that time, my combat power will take a further leap. Below the Earth Realm Martial artist, truly becoming invincible.”

“Moreover, this Drought Demon Horn seems to enhance my Alchemist Fire as well.”

“Therefore, it is particularly important to me.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Yitian’s eyes lit up.

“Since the Drought Demon Horn has such significant effects for you, then we must bid for it.” Qin Yitian quickly said at that moment.

Lin Dong furrowed his brow as he naturally wanted to bid for it.

If he were to use his identity as Master Lin, securing this Drought Demon Horn would be a piece of cake.

Even the man in the black robe, in terms of wealth, could not compare to him at all.

But now, he cannot reveal his identity as Master Lin, which though has tens of trillions in cash flow, is completely unusable.

The only money he can use now is close to two trillion.

However, two trillion is obviously not enough to secure the Drought Demon Horn.

Lin Dong thus fell into silence, while on the high platform, Ninth Miss Chen Yu spoke:

“This mysterious gentleman in the black robe has offered two trillion. May I ask if anyone else wishes to continue bidding?”

While posing this question, she deliberately looked towards Lin Dong’s direction.

And at this moment, Lin Dong remained silent.

He has no money now, how can he increase his bid?

The man in the black robe let out a laugh, thinking the Drought Demon Horn was soon to be his.

Yet at that very moment, Qin Yitian spoke up: “We need to continue bidding!”

Upon saying this, he glanced at Lin Dong and said to him, “Dong Lin, feel free to continue bidding. I will back you up.”

Lin Dong asked in confusion, “Didn’t you say earlier that you could only afford a few billion at most?”

Qin Yitian laughed and said, “I was deceiving you earlier, I’m the CEO of Alchemy League Pharmaceuticals, how could I possibly only afford a few billion?”

“Moreover, if worst comes to worst, I can sell my shares.”

“I have 10% of Alchemy League Pharmaceuticals shares, valued at five hundred billion, shouldn’t be a problem!”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Dong felt somewhat moved.

He said to Qin Yitian, “The extra money in this bidding is a loan from you. Rest assured, I will pay you back, and I’ll repay you double.”

After saying this, Lin Dong resumed the bidding war with the mysterious man in the black robe.

“Two trillion one hundred billion!”

The mysterious man in the black robe was not willing to give in either, his wealth was indeed quite substantial.

He promptly raised the bid.

“Two trillion five hundred billion!”

Lin Dong directly raised the bid: “Three trillion!”

He indeed wanted to see just how much cash the mysterious man in the black robe had.

Upon hearing Lin Dong quote three trillion, the mysterious man also furrowed his brow, showing some hesitation.

“Three trillion one hundred billion!”

Lin Dong continued to raise the bid: “Three trillion two hundred billion!”

“Three trillion three hundred billion!” the man in the black robe raised the bid again.

“Three trillion five hundred billion!”

After Lin Dong quoted the sky-high price of three trillion five hundred billion, the mysterious man in the black robe finally did not continue to bid.

Clearly, this price had already reached his highest psychological price.

Perhaps due to insufficient cash, or perhaps thinking the price was too high, he chose to give up.

Seeing this, Lin Dong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though three trillion five hundred billion was a high price, securing the Drought Demon Horn was entirely worthwhile for Lin Dong.

Ninth Miss Chen Yu saw that the mysterious man in the black robe did not continue to bid, so she began the countdown.

“If no one else bids within ten seconds, then the Drought Demon Horn will be secured by Mr. Dong Lin!”

The result was evidently clear, even the mysterious man in the black robe did not continue to bid, so naturally, no one else would.

Just like that, Ninth Miss Chen Yu struck the gavel, making the final decision on this auction’s finale item!

The Drought Demon Horn ultimately belonged to Lin Dong!

As for the mysterious man in the black robe, he shot a gaze at Lin Dong akin to a poisonous snake, and raspily said:

“Dong Lin, the Alchemy League’s Uncle, I will remember your name!”

After saying this, he left the auction.

Seeing that, Qin Yitian asked in doubt, “Who in the world is this person? Just now, when I happened to glance in his direction, I saw the eyes beneath his cloak, his eyeballs actually greenish like a poisonous snake, cold and sinister.”

“His gaze feels very unsettling.”

Lin Dong shook his head: “This person is not simple, it’s estimated he is also here for the Demon King that will appear in half a month.”

“Could it be that he’s also an Earth Realm Martial Artist?” Qin Yitian hurriedly asked.

Being an Earth Realm Martial Artist is more than enough; even among Earth Realm Martial Artists, he’s one of the top tier. That’s the Ninth Level Grandmaster, with such strength, totally capable of entering the Top Ten of the God Ranking!

Of course, he didn’t say these words to Qin Yitian.

Right now, he is just a peak Half-Step Earth Realm Martial Artist, if he claimed to see through the strength of the mysterious man in the black robe, it would surely arouse Qin Yitian’s doubts.

Qin Yitian said worriedly, “I’m afraid this person bears a grudge against you; he may be more fearsome than Luo Xing. Dong Lin, you should be cautious.”

Lin Dong laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll be cultivating quietly within the Alchemy League for this time. I won’t easily leave. I think that man in the black robe, even with immense strength, wouldn’t dare to intrude into the Alchemy League to kill me.”

“Naturally, with my brother here, who can kill you? Except for Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, but Heavenly Realm Martial Artists are bound by the Heavenly Oath, they won’t act carelessly.”

“Moreover, Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, what kind of figures are they, would they be concerned about you?” Qin Yitian responded.

Lin Dong nodded, then went to settle accounts with Ninth Miss.

Lin Dong obtained the items won at the auction, including four several-hundred-year-old Heavenly and Earthly treasures, including a Yin Device, including the Drought Demon Horn.

While Lin Dong’s elixirs were all auctioned off.

In and out, Lin Dong still needed to pay Southern Sea Bank one trillion five hundred billion.

Of course, most of this money will not end up with Southern Sea Bank but will be transferred to the Purple Moon Mercenary Group.

The Purple Moon Mercenary Group, with the auction of the Drought Demon Horn, after deducting handling fees, will have three trillion five hundred billion deposited.

Such a large sum of money, though everyone envies it, feels entirely justified!

After all, these were earned with their lives!

Once Lin Dong got the items, Qin Yitian helped make up for the one trillion five hundred billion shortfall for Lin Dong.

Lin Dong said to her again: “I’ll repay this money to you as soon as possible.”

He planned to make and sell more elixirs in the coming period to repay Qin Yitian this money.

However, Qin Yitian laughed and said: “Dear, don’t be so formal. My money is your money.”

Although she said so, Lin Dong clearly did not want to owe her this debt.

He already felt guilty towards her for hiding his identity, he definitely wouldn’t want to take her one trillion five hundred billion.

At this moment, he looked at the yet-to-disperse crowd, and said:

“Everyone, if anyone still needs highest quality Essence Yuan Pill or Qi-Boosting Pill, come wait for me at the entrance of the Alchemy League tomorrow.”

“I will be crafting some for sale.”

Swoosh!

Upon hearing these words, there was a buzz in the crowd again.

At this moment, everyone couldn’t help but have a thought.

“Could it be that the Essence Yuan Pill and Qi-Boosting Pill that the Alchemy League’s Uncle offered today are truly crafted by him?”

This question will be answered tomorrow.

Even Third Master Chen Bo, Ninth Miss Chen Yu, Wei Long from the Wei family, all decided to head for the entrance to the Alchemy League tomorrow and see for themselves.
