Chapter 1893: Chapter 1892 Successfully Bid!

Seeing the mysterious figure in the black robe suddenly bidding, Lin Dong thought he recognized the ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’ as well.

If he recognized it, then competing with him would undoubtedly lead to a bottomless bidding war.

After the other party bid, Lin Dong didn’t bid immediately, but muttered, “It’s just a piece of rotten wood, who would’ve thought someone would compete for it.”

“But I have money now, how can you compete with me?”

Lin Dong intentionally acted arrogantly, indicating that bidding for this piece of ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’ was purely because he’s a fool with a lot of money.

Moreover, using this arrogant approach when speaking to the mysterious man in black can make him lower his guard.

Sure enough, seeing Lin Dong like this, the mysterious figure in the black robe thought to himself, “It seems he really doesn’t know my true strength. I was overthinking before.”

“As for the origin of this piece of wood, maybe he doesn’t know either.”

In fact, the mysterious man in the black robe also didn’t know the origin of this ‘Lightning Cloud Wood.’ He bid now merely because he doubted Lin Dong.

Now, this doubt has disappeared!

And at this moment, Lin Dong increased the bid saying, “I’ll bid 150 million! Compete with me about money, how do you compare?”

The man in the black robe didn’t speak and didn’t continue to bid.

Seeing this, Lin Dong disdainfully said, “Just this? I thought you were richer.”

The mysterious man in the black robe still didn’t speak. Clearly, in his eyes, Lin Dong was already relegated to a status akin to an unruly and spoiled young master.

Such people evidently did not catch his interest!

He had no interest in conversing with them whatsoever.

Directly ignored!

However, Luo Xing next to him sneered:

“Dong Lin, you made yourself the fool, spending 150 million on a piece of wood with an unknown origin, and still being so arrogant. You’re quite something!”

Lin Dong looked at him, sneering coldly: “No matter how much a fool I am, I’m not as bad as you. You let me swindle several billion!”

“And this money, I spent it without feeling the least bit of pain. Because it was all yours.”

“You…” Luo Xing was so choked by Lin Dong that he couldn’t say a word, fuming with anger inside.

“What do you mean you? If you have the guts, keep bidding against me? Anyway, I have nearly two trillion now, I would spend it without feeling a thing.”

Luo Xing was unwilling to bid further.

If Lin Dong tricked him again, and he ended up spending billions more, it would truly be humiliating.

Previously when he bought those elixirs, although they were a bit expensive, at least they had effects.

But this wood, buying it would be purely a joke.

Even though Lin Dong provoked him like this, he didn’t bid.

In the end, this ‘Lightning Cloud Wood’ was taken by Lin Dong at a price of 150 million.

Seeing Lin Dong spend so much money to buy a ‘useless’ piece of wood, even Qin Yitian was curious.

“Dong Lin, why spend so much money on this piece of wood?” Qin Yitian asked.

Lin Dong chuckled: “Can’t help it, just a fool with a lot of money.”

Qin Yitian giggled, saying no more.

After all, Lin Dong, by relying on those Essence Yuan Pills and Qi-Boosting Pills, had already earned nearly two trillion.

Spending 150 million was indeed just a drizzle for him.

After successfully bidding on the ‘Lightning Cloud Wood,’ Lin Dong felt exceptionally happy. Even the Sovereign Witch within the Dragon Ring couldn’t help but say:

“Very good, with the main material of this Lightning Cloud Wood, collecting the secondary materials won’t be difficult. Once you get the recipe for the ‘Thunder Tribulation Pill,’ you can refine Thunder Tribulation Pills.”

Lin Dong asked, “Senior Sovereign Witch, do you know where the recipe for the Thunder Tribulation Pill is located?”

The Sovereign Witch nodded: “Do you still remember something I mentioned while in Dragon Country?”

“That once you’ve reached the level of the Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, I would take you to the cave of an alchemy grandmaster in Southborne to seek the recipe?”

Lin Dong naturally remembered this, replied: “Senior Sovereign Witch, are you planning to take me there ahead of time?”

The Sovereign Witch nodded: “Before, I thought it was safer to wait until you’d attained the level of the Heavenly Realm Martial Artist to venture into that cave. But now, you obviously can’t wait.”

“Your time is pressing, and you’ll have to take another path. So you’ll need to take some risk to visit that alchemy grandmaster’s cave ahead of schedule.”

Lin Dong was delighted. Indeed, he couldn’t wait for that moment.

“Senior Sovereign Witch, when are you planning to take me then?” Lin Dong asked.

The Sovereign Witch replied: “Once you have obtained the Medicine King.”

“Okay.” Lin Dong nodded, then refocused his attention back on the auction.

The auction at that moment continued.

The upcoming items did not pique Lin Dong’s interest much, so he did not place any bids.

Of course, even though he showed no interest, it didn’t mean those items were worthless.

It must be said, these things in Southborne are difficult to find in the outer world. The items offered at the Southborne Bank’s auction are rare indeed.

Many high-level national art techniques including Master Azan’s cultivation methods and spells were auctioned.

These items were widely sought after by the martial artists present!

Qin Yitian seeing Lin Dong not bidding on any item couldn’t help asking, “Dong Lin, aren’t you going to compete for any of these items?”

Lin Dong shook his head: “I’m not very interested in these.”

“But wouldn’t these help enhance your Martial Way?” Qin Yitian said.

Lin Dong laughed, “My main focus is sword techniques.”

He casually made up an excuse.

The truth was these cultivation methods were too elementary for the current Lin Dong, who couldn’t be bothered with them.

The national art, spells, and witchcraft he knows could easily crush what’s being auctioned.

After hearing Lin Dong’s response, Qin Yitian said, “Sword techniques? Later, I will ask my brother if he has any good sword techniques to share with you.”

Lin Dong nodded casually.

Just then, a treasure sword was brought onto the auction stage.

“Next up is a treasure sword. Judging by its age, it should be at least five hundred years old, yet it’s still sharp as ever, rivaling famous swords from various countries! A mercenary found it in an ancient ruin. Starting bid is one billion.”

Seeing this treasure sword, Lin Dong felt a vibration from the Yangxin Sword within the Dragon Ring, which hadn’t moved for a long time.

Normally, the Yangxin Sword only reacts this way when sensing another treasure sword of high caliber.

The Yangxin Sword is unique in that it can grow. And it does so by devouring other famous swords.

During Lin Dong’s trip to Yinghua Country, it devoured several of Yinghua Country’s renowned swords. Its quality has improved somewhat from when he first acquired it.

The sword’s spirit wisdom has enhanced as well.

“This treasure sword actually used to be a first-order spirit sword.” At that moment, the voice of the Sovereign Witch from the Dragon Ring sounded again.

Hearing that, Lin Dong was taken aback.

He connected mentally with the Sovereign Witch once more, baffled, asking:

“A first-order spirit sword, what does that mean? Could it be that treasure swords are also graded?”
