Walker Of The Worlds

Lin Mu didn’t know who had made the talismans, but he could see that they were all made by the same person as all of them had the same signatures on them.

This proved to the people that the talisman was made by a qualified formation master and would not be unstable.

‘Considering they sell for such a high cost, perhaps I should look into them too. If they need less resources I might start making them too.’ Lin Mu thought.

Even if he did have a lot of fortune in the ring, he also knew that it was best to have a continuous source of income. And formations might just be a good opportunity.

Not only would he make money selling them, he would also be improving his own skill too. It was killing two birds with one stone and was the perfect option for him right now.

The only question was that he would need to obtains few such lucrative formations.

‘It would be best if I find some that need no specific resource…’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

And when he thought of this, he recalled something else.

“Wait a second, didn’t the manger say that they have more services and items for sale other than the auction?” Lin Mu changed to a different section on the formation screen and saw a separate catalog.

This catalog was divided into multiple sections as well, with there being pills, formation, cultivation techniques and weapons being sold just like a normal shop.

The only difference was that this section had items that were regularly available and didn’t need an auction to be sold. And among all these, Lin Mu found the exact thing he was looking for.

“There it is… The Formation manual for the Diamond Mountain Talisman.” Lin Mu discovered.

It included all forms of the Diamond Mountain talisman, right from the minor grade all the way to the greater grade one’s that could even stop the attack of a Third Tribulation Stage Immortal expert.

“Hmm, the cost isn’t actually that high…” Lin Mu read it to be just 200 mid grade immortal stones.

While this might look high, one must not forget that this was a comprehensive set of manuals and was given entirely at once.

‘I’ll mark this, and take it before leaving.’ Lin Mu decided.

At the very least, he’ll have a good formation to practice with.

~DENG~

And just as he was looking at more formations he heard a gong being rung.

“Ladies and Gentlemen! We shall now commence our auction.” The host of the auction announced.

Lin Mu looked at the screen which had automatically switched to showing the scene of the auction.

On it the fat host was talking out loud, his voice being amplified with his qi. The people sitting in the hall had a mixture of emotions, with some being excited, some depressed and some that were just disinterested.

“For the first item, we shall start with one of our classics.” The Host spoke before gesturing to a cart that was brought to the front.

The cloth was lifted from the cart and a root could be seen placed on a platter. The root was knotty and was about ten centimeters long. There were fine hair like smaller roots growing from it as well.

It emanated a bitter feeling and a similarly bitter smell could be felt coming from it.

“Bitter Burrow Root!” The people in the hall recognized immediately.

“Not just that, look at the knots on it! They are at least two centimeters wide, too!”

“The length is also decently long.”

The people in the hall were quickly to analyze the features of the Bitter Burrow Root.

“Since all of you already know about it, I’ll just give a short introduction to the rest. This is a ten centimeter long Bitter Burrow Root. It is an immortal herb that is very well known for its detoxification properties and is sought but cannot be found.

For our latest offering, this Bitter Burrow Root was especially imported from the Dao Wind Empire!” The Host explained.

The more the people heard the more they got excited. One could tell that this was an item that would have no issues selling and was always in demand.

“Hmm… Bitter Burrow Root is something that can neutralize a multitude of poisons and when refined into an alchemical pill with other herbs, it can even remove pill toxins.

It certainly is something that most people would like to have in their ownership even if they didn’t need it.” Lin Mu muttered to himself.

But admits this excitement, there were still a few people that were a little on the negative side.

“How can we be sure that this is authentic Bitter Burrow Root?” Someone sitting in the front questioned.

“Yeah, who know’s if someone has adulterated it to grow its size. Everyone knows that any Bitter burrow Root bigger than eight centimeter is a miraculous finding.

Even if it came from the Dao Wind Continent, I cannot help but doubt its authenticity.” Another person that seemed to be dressed in the robes of an alchemist stated.

Lin Mu wondered if it was a bad move to antagonize the auction house like this, but much to his surprise the Host didn’t seem to be offended at all. Instead, he had a smile on his face.

“Don’t worry respected customers, I can assure you that this is an authentic Bitter Burrow Root. And as for the verification, I have the person who had brought this here for sale.

You might chose not to trust us, but you cannot do the same for this person.” The Host replied with confidence.

“And who is this person?” the people in the hall questioned.

“For proving the authenticity of the Bitter Burrow Root we have the Young Miss of the Cong clan herself!” The host answers before extending his hand towards a certain direction at the side of the room.

~Shua~

A large drapery was originally covering the side but it was soon lifted. And from it walked out a noblewomen dressed elegantly. She had confidence on her face and yet her body seemed to be saying otherwise.

The more experienced cultivators in the hall could look through her facaded right away, but did not oust her. For they knew someone like her was way above their status.

As for Lin Mu, he was also surprised. But for a different reason.

It being the fact that he had actually come along with this woman in the ship. She was the same noblewoman who had a lot of guards as well as three servant girls that were accompanying her.

“What’s she doing here?” Lin Mu raised a brow.

He had thought that she should be under great protection and was traveling to some other place. But not it seemed like her destination was this.

‘She doesn’t have any of her people with her though… strange.’ Lin Mu thought.

From the way they had acted before, he was sure that she would be a flower in a greenhouse. But now seeing her in a place like this, made Lin Mu’s view of her change.

The young woman of the Cong clan stepped forward before cupping her hands high above her head.

“Everyone, I thank you all for attending this auction today.” The woman said while taking a look around.

Her appearance was certainly beautiful and brought her quite a lot of attention. Most of the men sitting in the hall couldn’t look away and were quite likely to be attracted to her.

“I swear upon the name of the Cong clan that this Bitter Burrow Root is truly authentic. If it is not, may by clan perish in the flames of retribution!” The Young woman stated with great confidence.

~HUM~

And the moment she did this, everyone could feel a large presence descending on the area.

‘She took a Heavenly Oath? She definitely has guts to do it like this.’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

And oath that was taken on behalf of one’s clan was even more severe as breaking it would mean that they would harm not just themselves but also the clan.

Of course, there were several restrictions on this such as the fact that the person would need the authority of running a clan in the first place. And from the Young woman’s voice, Lin Mu was sure that she was not at that point.

“She hasn’t even reached the minimum cultivation base to reach that level.” Lin Mu understood.

But at the same time, he was surprised by the fact that her clan had given her an authority like this even if it might be temporary.

“If it is the Cong clan, then how can we not believe it?” the people quickly flipped their opinions.

“Since everyone has come to an agreement, let’s start the bidding then.

For the first item, we start at a humble cost of… 500 Mid Grade Immortal stones!” The Host announced loudly.
