Chapter 348: Second Theft

After the maid finished speaking, she left, leaving Kong Xiu, who was in the private room, puzzled.

“Patriarch, this Nirvana Fire Stone contains endless vitality. If you can devour it, you will definitely be able to heal your injuries.”

A Peacock Spirit Clan’s first elder said, feeling that he should bid.

After all, as long as Kong Xiu’s injuries were healed, he would definitely be able to break through to the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, his cultivation would continue to increase.

Compared to this, tens of millions of middle-grade spirit stones were nothing…

“This…”

Kong Xiu was also at a loss. One reason was that he wanted to rope in Lin Mo so that Lin Mo could grow up in the future and protect the Peacock Spirit Clan.

However, his injuries could not be delayed. If he could really be healed, in time, the Peacock Spirit Clan would definitely be able to produce a super powerhouse.

Compared to Lin Mo’s instability, only the power that was truly in his hands could be considered the best choice.

“Ten million!”

Thinking up to this point, Kong Xiu did not hesitate and chose to increase the bid. As for Lin Mo’s gift, he completely ignored it.

His bid caused Lin Mo to be stunned. He turned his head to look at the servant girl who was delivering the message.

After confirming that the servant girl had passed on the message, he was also taken aback.

What was Kong Xiu doing? Didn’t he tell him to stop bidding…

“12 million.”

The crown prince made another bid. The way the two of them were competing caused everyone to be speechless. They were simply not taking the spirit stones seriously…

Very quickly, under Lin Mo’s gaze, both parties did not give in in the slightest. In the end, the price was raised to 20 million.

Furthermore, from the looks of it, the price was still rising without any signs of stopping…

“Hehe, I didn’t expect the Peacock Spirit Clan to have so many resources while recuperating. What a surprise.”

A cold sneer came from the Crown Prince’s private room, and the smile on his face had already disappeared.

He had just shouted out a high price of 25 million middle-grade spirit stones.

During this period of time, he had mobilized too many resources. If this continued, it would really cause his father to be dissatisfied.

“Crown Prince, please forgive me. It’s just that the value of this Nirvana Fire Stone is far from being determined by spirit stones. That’s why I’m bidding for it.”

Kong Xiu was bidding again, and the current price had already risen to 27,000,000.

At this time, even the crown prince didn’t dare to raise the price anymore.

Seeing this, Lin Mo raised his head and looked at the Crown Prince’s private room, but there was still no movement.

“27 million going once!”

“27 million going twice!”

“27 million going thrice, sold. Congratulations to the Peacock Spirit Clan for successfully bidding for the Nirvana Fire Stone, and two drops of Nirvana Liquid as a bonus.”

Lin Mo dropped the auction hammer and announced that Kong Xiu had successfully bid.

Meanwhile, his expression turned ugly as well, because the rebate on the Nirvana Fire Stone wasn’t very high…

[ Congratulations to the host for successfully bidding for the damaged Nirvana Fire Stone ]

[ Triggered 5,000 times the rebate on the auction ]

[ Congratulations to the host for obtaining the damaged Nirvana Fire Stone ]

Everything went going according to plan. The only problem was that the rebate wasn’t good, as it was sold at a high price of 27,000,000.

This price was already comparable to a spirit rank 9 martial arts and cultivation technique, and it was a complete set of cultivation techniques and martial arts.

Even some earth rank spirit herbs could be bought. Therefore, Lin Mo didn’t suffer a loss.

The Nirvana Fire Stone that the rebate had given him contained quite a bit of nirvana liquid, but it was still too little.

After he left, he went to the counter in advance, waiting for the customers to come and pick up the goods.

“Sigh, I’ve already promised that I can repair it…”

Lin Mo felt a little melancholic. When he took away the Nirvana Fire Stone, he vowed that he would be able to repair it.

However, only a portion of it had been repaired, and he didn’t know what to do with the rest.

He did a rough calculation. If he wanted to restore the Nirvana Fire Stone, he would need to invest at least a billion middle-grade spirit stones.

Even so, he would probably only be able to recover a portion of it.

“Sigh, forget it. Let’s wait and see. There’s still some time.”

Lin Mo nodded. Not long after, Kong Xiu walked out from the auction hall. When he saw Lin Mo, he walked up to him with a smile.

“Hehe, little friend Lin Mo, how have you been?”

He cupped his fists at Lin Mo, wanting to explain his earlier bid.

However, Lin Mo clearly didn’t have the mood to say such things. He decisively took out a spatial ring and said, “Since senior has successfully bid, this Nirvana Fire Stone should be yours.”

Hearing this, Kong Xiu was stunned for a moment. He didn’t expect Lin Mo to be so cold.

“Little friend, Don’t blame me. It’s really just that this Nirvana Fire Stone is related to the fate of our clan. We have no choice…”

Kong Xiu smiled apologetically and took out the spirit stones to pass to Lin Mo.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he saw that Lin Mo didn’t seem to be in a good mood, so he turned around and left.

“Clan leader, this Lin Mo is already the eighth princess’ subordinate. Is there a need to curry favor with him like this?”

“Yeah, he’s just a junior in the Dragon Transformation Realm. So what if he’s talented?”

Just as he left, the elders of the Peacock Spirit Clan were already dissatisfied.

They all spoke up, feeling that Kong Xiu was too enthusiastic towards a junior. Although he was a genius, he hadn’t matured yet, so everything was hard to say.

“Brother Lin, I’ve let you see the embarrassing side…”

Not long after the peacock spirit tribe left, the crown prince also arrived. His expression was similar to Lin Mo’s, and both of them didn’t look too good.

This caused the crown prince to be stunned, and he looked at Lin Mo with some doubt.

“Brother Lin, you’ve earned a large amount of spirit stones, why are you looking so miserable?” The crown prince asked.

“I said that the Nirvana Fire Stone was prepared for you, do you believe me?” Lin Mo forced out a smile and said.

“Of course I believe you. However, I’m not capable enough to gather enough spirit stones.”

The crown prince nodded his head. Regardless of whether what Lin Mo said was true or not, he liked to hear it.

Furthermore, Lin Mo had reminded him from the start to bring more spirit stones. In his eyes, this was already showing goodwill.

“I wonder if brother Lin will be able to obtain any good treasures. I can prepare spirit stones in advance.”

The two of them chatted for a while. Lin Mo looked at the crown prince’s expectant expression and various thoughts appeared in his mind.

The crown prince being able to mobilize the national treasury was a huge amount of resources. Although they were enemies, it wasn’t as if they couldn’t cooperate…

“Let’s see how it goes. I’ll make a trip out of the city to see if there are any.”

Lin Mo smiled and sent the crown prince off.

After exchanging all the remaining auction items, Lin Mo instructed Huixiang to purchase the auction items.

As for himself, he went to the inner area of Yue Xuan to plan his future development.

Suddenly, while he was deep in thought, a token on his waist suddenly flashed.

Lin Mo opened his eyes and took the token off, feeling a little puzzled.

After recalling it for a moment, he finally understood that it was the token that Tang Chen had given him back then. It could control the formation within Yue Xuan.

At the same time, the formation could also remember the aura of the intruder. If the intruder were to barge in again, it would be activated immediately.

“You actually dare to come again?”

Lin Mo said furiously. He really wanted to see just who the intruder was that actually treated his place like a back garden.

His figure flashed, and he left the pergola that he had been sitting in for a long time. Following the command given by the token, he discovered the intruder near Yue Xuan’s warehouse.

There were three people in total wearing night clothes. They had entered through spatial runes and were planning to sneak into the warehouse to steal…
