Chapter 410 - Chapter 410: Chapter 110 Settling Lin Jue (2/2)

at that moment.

aboard the flying boat, lin jue and ye yun, came over to lin jing, bowed, and said:

“thank you, senior, for saving our lives.”

lin jing, at that moment, was partly using his divine sense to control the flying boat, speedily soaring over the sea.

meanwhile, he observed the two of them.

lin jing then spoke:

“lin jue, it’s just you left in your family now, isn’t it?”

hearing this, lin jue seemed to recall something sad, his eyes downcast, revealing a hint of sorrow in his expression.

“yes, senior…”

“since grandfather passed away, i’ve been on my own.”

lin jing nodded and then turned to look at ye yun:

“what about you?”

“do you have any relatives left in bihai city?”

ye yun replied:

“replying to senior…”

“my situation is quite similar to lin jue’s.”

“several years ago, after my parents left for a trip, they never returned, leaving me alone.”

lin jing immediately fell silent.

after pondering for a while, lin jing asked the two:

“i own a small island in the thousand islands domain, would you two be willing to follow me?”

“if you are willing, i will take you to the island, if not, i can also return you to bihai city.”

upon hearing this, they turned to look at each other and then nodded in unison:

“senior, we are willing.”

lin jing nodded slightly and said:

“good…”

“then from now on, you will follow me.”

both of them, visibly excited, bowed hastily and thanked lin jing:

“thank you, senior…”

…

…

the shadow escape flying boat was incredibly fast. in less than four hours, lin jing arrived at the destination he had long decided upon.

it was the uninhabited small island where he had encountered lu youjiu during the auction of yan wanfei.

this island was situated between black xing island and the thousand islands domain, making it an ideal place to temporarily settle the two.

because lin jing was soon to fight a major battle, it was not suitable to take them with him.

nor was it fitting to continue keeping them on black xing island.

so temporarily setting them up here was just right.

after settling lin jue and ye yun on the uninhabited island, lin jing left them with some instructions. he then boarded the shadow escape flying boat and flew back towards black xing island.

this time.

he had to return to black xing island before the auction ended.

then, find a way to track down that young gang leader of the black shark gang.

in less than four hours, lin jing returned to black shark island.

and, before re-entering black shark island, lin jing once again activated the changyun hidden technique to alter his appearance.

this time, he transformed into a pale, frail-looking man.

when lin jing got back to the trading market, the auction was still not over.

then, with this new identity, lin jing paid the spirit stones again to enter the auction house.

fortunately, the auction house had no entry restrictions, one could enter as long as they paid the spirit stones.

after entering, lin jing discovered that the auction house was as crowded as before. luckily, there were still some empty seats at the very back of the auction hall.

lin jing directly found an empty spot in the back corner and sat down.

the auction was nearing its end, and the atmosphere had reached its climax.

right now, the auction stage presented a girl with a special constitution, whose bidding price had been raised to one million medium grade spirit stones.

this girl’s constitution was extremely rare. if a cultivator dual-cultivated with her, it could increase their cultivation speed.

that’s why the bidding price for this girl was so high and why the auction house was in such a frenzy.

moreover, not only the people in the auction hall, but even the cultivators sitting in the private boxes on the second floor had joined in the bidding.

thus, the price for the girl was raised step by step until it finally reached an astonishing two million.

this price of two million medium grade spirit stones was called out by someone from the fifth box upstairs.

after the two million medium grade spirit stones bid was announced, the hall fell silent for a moment.

clearly, this price had exceeded the limit many people could afford.

the auctioneer on stage then began to entice the crowd:

“the patron in box five has bid two million medium grade spirit stones, is there a higher bid?”

“this ‘lot’ is something you might not encounter even once in a hundred years. if you miss this chance, there won’t be another. those who desire it should bid quickly…”

after waiting for a moment and seeing that no one else was bidding, the beautiful auctioneer began the countdown.

“two million medium grade spirit stones, going once…”

…

“two million medium grade spirit stones, going twice…”

the beautiful auctioneer scanned the room, noticing the total silence in the auction hall, probably no one would offer a higher price.

so.

she was just about to speak the final words…

but at that moment.

a voice suddenly rang out from another luxurious box:

“i bid two million two hundred thousand medium grade spirit stones.”

as this voice fell, everyone in the auction hall gasped in shock.

the additional twenty thousand was thrown out as though it was nothing.

however, lin jing recognized the voice; it was indeed that of the young gang leader of the black shark gang.

then, the auctioneer on stage looked towards the box on the second floor and eagerly said:

“box one bids two million two hundred thousand medium grade spirit stones, is there any higher bid?”

but this time, no one else started to bid.

even the person from box five, who had bid two million medium grade spirit stones, fell silent.

clearly, two million two hundred thousand medium grade spirit stones had surpassed his limit.
