Chapter 105: Money Squandering Establishment (2/2)

“Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill…”

Under the straw hat, Lin Dong lightly licked his lips. As expected of the extremely famous auction house of Yan City. To think that an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill would actually make an appearance at this auction. Even the late Gu Ying did not possess such an item.

What the current Lin Dong lacked the most was this kind of offensive Mental Energy skill!

“One thousand one hundred Yang Yuan Stones!”

“One thousand two hundred!”

“……”

As he gazed at the scene which had practically caught fire in that moment, Lin Dong’s eyes slightly narrowed. Looks like there were quite a few people here who were interested in this Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill.

While everyone fought over that Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill in the auction, a few gazes were also watching from a VIP booth to one side.

“I did not expect that there was actually someone who would auction off an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill.” The grey robed Grandmaster Ruo was a little astonished as he glanced at the auction while smiling.

“Hehe, if Grandmaster Ruo is interested, Xuan Su will send someone to purchase it.” Seated to one side in a red dress was a rather graceful woman who wore a sweet smile on her face as she said.

“It’s fine. Though an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill is not bad, to this old man, it’s not a must-have item.” Grandmaster Ruo chuckled as he shook his head.

“True, given Grandmaster Ruo’s current strength, an Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill does not have much appeal.” The lady in a red dress had a small smile on her lips as she replied.

Grandmaster Ruo laughed in response, just as he was about to speak again, he suddenly let out a soft gasp of surprise. His gazed towards a corner of the auction area and remarked: “This person is really wealthy, to think that he actually spent two thousand five hundred Yang Yuan Stones to purchase this Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill. From what I saw of the Elixirs he had bought before, they all possess Mental Energy nourishing properties. Looks like this person should also be a Symbol Master.”

Upon hearing these words, the lady in red and the younger lady in green also cast their gazes towards the same corner of the auction area. That spot was exactly the one where Lin Dong was seated.

“Hmmm, this person’s Mental Energy seems to be slightly familiar…”

Grandmaster Ruo watched that figure attentively as his eyebrow raised slightly. Soon after, with a nudge of his mind, a strand of Mental Energy swiftly flowed out and shortly approached Lin Dong’s body.

In the instance when his Mental Energy spread to Lin Dong’s body, Lin Dong, who was rather happy with the fact that he had just managed to successfully procure the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill, suddenly sensed Mental Energy scan his body as his expression abruptly changed.

In that same instance, a trace of Mental Energy gushed out of Lin Dong’s Niwan Palace as if it were a conditioned reflex before hastily wrapping around his body. However, when his Mental Energy gushed out, he already knew that he was a split second late. Now, his appearance was likely known to the owner of that strand of Mental Energy.

While Lin Dong furrowed his eyebrows, in the VIP booth, the originally smiling Grandmaster Ruo suddenly stood up, shock thick in his eyes. That appearance of his caused the two women beside to be startled for a while.

“To think that it was him?!”

The ranks of the Secret Spirit Skills were revealed.

After some thought about it, we’ve decided to change our translation of the skill ranks to the following:

‘normal’ > stays as ‘normal’

精 – Vitality > Essence

气 – Qi > stays as ‘Qi’

神 – Spirit > Soul

Ty~

‘extremely sharp and powerful’ might not be the most accurate translation here, but we try xS

the actual raws are written ‘吹毛断发，削铁入泥’

which directly translates as ‘blowing a hair across the blade and it will be cut, cutting other high quality swords would be equivalent to cutting through the soil > usually used to describe an exceedingly powerful weapon

Here is another interesting phrase, ‘金字招牌’ which we directly translated as gold-lettered signboard

from what we know, shops would showcase gold-lettered signboards as an indication that

– their goods are a cut above the rest or superior in quality
