C115 (1/2)

After finishing his bath, his clothes had already been washed clean and dried, so he could not see any traces of it outside. When Talking about the Old Man and him finished breakfast and arrived at the auction house, it was already filled with people.

Because of worry over the matter of him cultivating, Lin Jin didn't have the heart to say much.

However, he knew that Lin Jin walked on a path that was different from ordinary people, and that he did not understand too much about cultivation either. As a result, he did not say much, and only hoped that could quickly resolve the knot in his heart.

Following the sound of the gavel, the Auction officially started.

As the dark horse of the collection market in recent years, bronze artifacts had always been the target of high level collectors. Furthermore, there were quite a few quality bronze artifacts that were stolen from the collection in the tomb robber, so as long as a batch of them came up, they would be quickly taken away.

Talking about the Old Man had a special love for bronze artifacts. After fifteen minutes of working, he had already bought five to six bronze artifacts.

”...” ”Number 34, Octagonal Brocade Bronze Ancient Mirror, starting bid 500 …” As there were too many things in the auction, in order to complete the auction as soon as possible, Auctioneer had already skipped the introduction and directly called out the auction price.

Hearing the familiar name, Lin Jin suddenly raised his head. On the screen, the ancient mirror was slowly rotating, displaying an unconcealable aura of earth.

Due to their poor appearance, there were only a few people bidding. Talking about the Old Man knew that this was what Lin Jin wanted. Although he did not know what was so special about this ancient mirror, he still raised his sign and shouted, ”One thousand!”

When the other buyers saw that it was number 43, and that this Ancient Mirror was not a good item, they stopped bidding and successfully won the Ancient Mirror from Talking about the Old Man.

Talking about the Old Man looked at Lin Jin and laughed: This mirror is strange. ”Research it and tell me!”

”Of course!” Lin Jin laughed and nodded.

When the Auction was done, because all of the auctioned items were placed together and were transported by someone else for the buyers after the Auction was finished, if they were not going to go and get them, they would have to wait until they were back at the Ninghua. As usual, the Talking about the Old Man made Lin Jin go to the main hall to wait, and once again walked towards the door in front of them.

Just as Lin Jin was about to leave, Zhou Ji suddenly walked over from behind.

”Brother Lin. Please wait! Remember what you promised me tonight? ”

Lin Jin had always been thinking about cultivation, if Zhou Ji had not called him, he would have forgotten about this matter, but Zhou Ji was wholeheartedly focusing on that set of books, if the thoughts inside were not absorbed by Lin Jin, it would have saved him a lot of effort, for someone like him who wanted to cultivate, but also wanted to live a carefree life in the mortal world.

It was an irresistible temptation.

Seeing Zhou Ji, Lin Jin suddenly realised: ”Lending a book right? ”How about this, come to my room after lunch and watch carefully!” That set of《 holly seed s》 did indeed have many miraculous techniques, but he did not believe that Zhou Ji could understand anything within an hour.

Zhou Ji immediately said: ”Then thank you very much, right. Is Brother Lin going to eat? Should they eat together? I know a few experts from the Taoism in Hu Shan, I can introduce you to them! ”

Lin Jin laughed: ”No need, I'll be going with Talking about the Old Man at noon. You can go first. You can come to my room at one o'clock this afternoon! ”

”Then I'll take my leave first!” Seeing that he did not want to speak anymore with her, Zhou Ji took the elevator up to the surface and walked outside.

Lin Jin looked at his leaving back, and only felt that it was mysterious. The secrets he told him at night, was it just to arouse his goodwill, and to let him borrow books voluntarily to read? Or was there some secret in the book that he did not know? Lin Jin shook his head.

Not long after, the Talking about the Old Man was like yesterday. He walked over with a wood box in his arms. However, this wood box was far worse in comparison to the Tan wood box that was used to store books the day before.

Because this ancient mirror was not something precious within the antiques that the auction held, as soon as the wood box was in his hands, Lin Jin took out the ancient mirror.

The Talking about the Old Man called for a few dishes, looked at the ancient mirror in Lin Jin's hand and asked curiously: ”Looking at its appearance, this mirror should have been buried in the ground for a long time, it definitely can't be some kind of cemetery companion, are you sure you didn't see wrongly?”

”I don't know either.” Lin Jin looked up and down while holding the ancient mirror. He casually said.

Talking about the Old Man was at a loss for words.

The ancient mirror felt a bit heavy in his hand. Although it was not big, it seemed to be around ten to twenty catties.

The surface of the mirror was not the usual bluish-gray color, but was a light yellow color that was close to the earth. Moreover, it was stained with rust. If it wasn't for the Yin Yang Fish pattern on the back of the mirror and its gossipy appearance, no one would want it.

Lin Jin caressed the potholes on the surface of the Ancient Mirror, which made him feel that something was strange, but after looking at it for a long time, he still could not understand its mysteries. With a thought, Lin Jin immersed his consciousness into the mirror, wanting to see what was really inside.

Just then, the waiter had already served the food. Talking about the Old Man called out to him a few times, but he did not reply, he was still able to see through everything, he shook his head and laughed, then without being polite, poured himself a cup of wine and continued to eat.

Lin Jin's consciousness sank into the ancient mirror. He felt as if he had entered a layer of ordinary solid state, he examined the ancient mirror thoroughly, both inside and outside, but he did not find anything abnormal. Furthermore, he did not feel any spirit energy fluctuations like the fishing rod.

Retracting his consciousness and seeing that the Talking about the Old Man had already started eating, Lin Jin shook his head and threw the mirror onto the table, saying in disappointment: ”I saw wrongly, it's just a broken mirror, there's nothing special about it!”

Seeing the look in Lin Jin's eyes, Talking about the Old Man smiled and put down his chopsticks: ”Don't decorate my front, don't throw it away randomly!”

Seeing that Talking about the Old Man had intentionally acted like a philistine, Lin Jin laughed: ”Your esteemed grandfather doesn't have any antiques, and still wants them from me. You bought this mirror with my money, it's at least a thousand yuan.

It wasn't a magic treasure. Decorating my small bamboo house is also not bad, haha, at least the Taiji eight trigrams tattoo on its back can scare a few ghosts! ”

”You brat, I knew that you were stingy. I'll deduct two hundred cultivation fees from you when we get back. Eat quickly!” The Talking about the Old Man scolded him jokingly, but did not care too much, and invited Lin Jin to eat.

After lunch. Talking about the Old Man did not follow Lin Jin upstairs, but started to chat with another antique dealer who was also from Ninghua. Seeing that the Talking about the Old Man was in high spirits, Lin Jin did not want to disturb them, so he carried the wood box upstairs alone.

Returning to his room, Lin Jin first took out the < holly seed s > manual. He wanted to see if there were anything special about it besides the contents written, but after looking for a long time, he still could not find anything.

Another ten minutes passed. There was a knock on the door. Lin Jin looked at the clock in the room.

”You're on time!” Lin Jin muttered as he opened the door.

Indeed, outside the door, there was Zhou Ji with a reserved smile on his face.

They didn't say much and just exchanged a few polite words. Zhou Ji then borrowed a book from Lin Jin and read it. He didn't try to hide anything as he held the book in his hand and started reading.

Zhou Ji flipped through the book extremely quickly, almost to the point of flipping a page, seeing the expression on his face. He wanted to see what she saw from his expression, but Zhou Ji had a cold and indifferent expression the entire time, and her expression did not change in the slightest.

What he did not know was that Zhou Ji was currently crazily absorbing the remaining thoughts in the book. On the surface, he could not see much. But Zhou Ji also secretly felt pain in his heart, because he realized that more than half of the thoughts in the book had disappeared.

Looks like it was accidentally absorbed by Lin Jin.

However, even if it was the last bit of thought absorbed by Lin Jin, it would still allow him to become much clearer on it. He understood many of the principles that he couldn't comprehend no matter how much he comprehended in the past.

For someone like him who relied on his own cultivation experience to cultivate, the benefits he obtained this time was unimaginable. However, to a cultivator like Lin Jin, this remnant will was far less important than the contents of the book.

After more than twenty minutes had passed, Zhou Ji had already flipped to the last page of the < holly seed s > manual.

He closed the book. A faint precious light surfaced on Zhou Ji's face. This was a sign that his spiritual power had risen to another level.
