Unsealing a lost item was usually done with reality drug, secondly by blood vial, and lastly through brute force. Also known as a last case scenario.
One thing was certain though, when reality drug and blood vial failed yet the item wasn’t ruined, then its prospects would shoot through the roof; if unsealed.
Boom!
The glaring light crushed the stone cauldron to pieces.
It did not shine, simply crumbled.
“Using force would ruin any item…”
“If you’re broke, why buy it?”
“This human’s funny.”
“Humans are so full of themselves.”
“The ones I despise the most are humans. They’re ignorant and conceited.”
“You see one joker, you’ve seen ‘em all.”
Because of the brute force unsealing, everyone was mocking.
“Ha~, what a loss.”
Li Mo sighed, searching through the rubble, unwilling to accept the truth.
“Stop that. Since there was no light, then there’s nothing good there.”
“Yeah, human, if I had your 15 million, I’d become an official Ancient Planet citizen instead and buy a few extra planets on the side. You know, living the good life. Oh, right, humans can’t even get to a hundred years.”
“That’s for normal humans. While those taking the gene drug can go for three centuries.”
“That’s long.”
“You guys are too much. Now that he hit rock bottom, all your words sound sarcastic. Ha-ha-ha…”
There would always be some laughing at another’s expense, no exception. It was then Li Mo rose, crestfallen and glancing at the rubble.
“S***!”
Li Mo stomped, and everyone took it as him venting his anger. But then, a black glint came from the pile of rocks.
“What’s this?”
Li Mo sifted through and picked a black cauldron the size of his hand.
The mini cauldron shone a glossy black, had a metallic look, but it was unclear as to its material.
“Doesn’t look bad at all.”
Li Mo poured spiritual qi in it and the mini cauldron’s black shine intensified.
And that was it.
Gu Zheng had two second rank exotic appraisers over for analysis. It was a rule of the Gu Auction. Every lost item sold here had to go through strict inspections. They were mindful of the clients, was what others had him believed. But Li Mo begged to differ. He guessed it was a ploy of the Gu Auction.
The two exotic appraisers took their time and came to the same conclusion. It was an exceptionally tough magic weapon that all it did was release black light.
Although of unknown material, nevertheless its hardness was out of this world. Throwing it around would be the best way to use it.
“Nameless black cauldron of SSS toughness. Value unknown!”
The two appraisers declared.
Then they went back to whisper in Gu Zheng’s ear; the later spoke up, “Sir, the Gu Auction will buy this item off you for double its price. Would you accept?”
“No. I feel some connection with the small cauldron. As for money, no amount will matter.”
Li Mo stashed the cauldron away.
The black cauldron didn’t even catch many people’s eyes, thinking it was Li Mo’s dumb luck.
While Yu Buyi and Shui Yunlan had a keener perception. They noticed the two appraisers sported some odd looks.
“Friend, that cauldron’s only redeeming feature is its hardness. How about you sell it to me for 50 million?” Yu Buyi said.
“60.” Shui Yunlan came over.
“Girl, your race has plenty of magic weapons, even called the most hoarding in the universe. So why are you fighting me over a small nameless black cauldron?”
“Brother Yu has magic weapons aplenty, so why are you fighting me over it?”
“Ha-ha, I just like collecting antiques.”
“80!”
Yu Buyi said again.
“90.”
“No matter what price Yu Buyi says, I’ll go 10 million higher.” Shui Yunlan said.
“Girl, that’s so stubborn of you.”
“I’m only bidding. This is an auction after all.”
Yu Buyi saw the unphased Li Mo and gnashed his teeth as he whispered to Lan Qianyi.
Yu Buyi showed all his fingers, “500!”
“Girl, that’s my price!”
Shui Yunlan winced. She couldn’t top it.
“I’m terribly sorry, girl. The next one will be yours.”
“You are quite wrong, it seems. I have no intent of selling it.”
Li Mo’s flat tone came.
Yu Buyi, who felt like a winner, his smile froze.
“Friend, are you certain? Do you have any idea what 500 million means?”
“Even a normal human like you can buy himself a thousand year lifespan, a seventh-level strength and countless living planets ownerships.
“What can this black cauldron do besides being a bit hard?”
Yu Buyi lowered his tone, “I admit it is uncommon, but that is regarding the universe’s powers. Holding it will not be a blessing but a disaster.
“If you miss this chance, there won’t be a second!”
“We’re leaving.” Li Mo called Ye Xiaolu.
The stage had the last item on display by now, a magic weapon made of a ninth level Metal alien – Heaven Seal.
Besides Yu Buyi, Shui Yunlan and some others, the rest were interested in this Heaven Seal.
Li Mo left with Ye Xiaolu and the cub.
Yu Buyi’s eyes burned as he said, “Follow him!”
Hum~
Li Mo entered a deserted alley and, through a Gate, he left this place.
“Now I get it! You were after this black cauldron from the start. What a show-off!” Ye Xiaolu exclaimed.
Li Mo didn’t deign her with an answer, only using Heaven and Earth Inverse to restore their looks.
“What’s the mini cauldron for anyway, to not sell it for 500 million?”
Li Mo’s response was the most infuriating, “Guess.”
