Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme-Chapter 1480 - 1426: Arrival
This time Dayan City is hosting an auction, attracting disciples from various sects of the Mystic Realm Sect, along with some powerful figures from other star domains. It's indeed a trading gala, with private transactions happening alongside the main auction events.
Of course, in such transactions, the existence of the 'Black Market' is inevitable, where various items are bought and sold, including treasures of unknown origin that cannot be traded openly.
The only downside is that the prices of items traded in the black market are often two or three layers lower, and items that are harder to sell might be priced five layers lower.
The advantage is obvious — it greatly ensures the safety of the identities of the sellers and buyers, allowing them to offload 'not so clean' items.
Lin Mo obtained plenty of treasures in the Netherworld, but most are of no use to him now. It's better to exchange them for soul coins, so he can be more confident during the auction, as the saying goes, "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
If the auction arrives and he lacks sufficient soul coins to buy the Thunder Fruit, that would be tragic.
As he walked down the street, observing the shops around, he noticed various shops selling treasures and even beasts, yet there was no site resembling a black market. Besides, Lin Mo's items were quite sensitive; selling them to ordinary traders could easily provoke trouble.
This is also why Lin Mo did not choose to have Gu Sa handle the items for him.
On the bustling street, after walking for about an hour, Lin Mo suddenly halted, lifting his head to see a towering cylindrical building ahead, approximately fifty to sixty thousand meters tall, forming a ring shape. It was extremely eye-catching within Dayan City.
There were many people coming and going in that direction, and from their conversations, Lin Mo confirmed that was the place he was seeking.
Immediately, Lin Mo strides towards the cylindrical building, and when he reached the front, he saw three large characters on the door — "Wanwu Pavilion", grand and magnificent. The entrance was bustling with people wearing black long robes, faces masked with green and fang-like disguises, even concealing their aura.
"This is the place I'm looking for," Lin Mo smiled at the corner of his mouth, directly stepping into the Wanwu Building, and taking a set of clothes from a place near the door. After putting them on, his aura was also concealed.
Entering the Wanwu Pavilion, Lin Mo found it immensely grand, rising over tens of thousands of meters, with a pavilion every three hundred meters. Within the Wanwu Building, flying was freely allowed, not constrained by Dayan City's restrictions.
"To establish such a large trading center, even unable to be controlled by Dayan City's prohibitions, surely there's a strong force manipulating it from behind," Lin Mo mumbled inwardly as he flew directly to the fifth-layer pavilion, wandering leisurely.
He didn't rush to sell his items, instead strolling around first. Here, besides customers buying items from the stores, one could also purchase suitable items from the hands of other customers, all dictated by soul coins.
In the fifth-layer pavilion, most traded are low-cost soul coin treasures. With sword eyebrows furrowed, Lin Mo continued flying upward, alighting at the tenth-layer pavilion, then bending his head to enter a seemingly large shop.
The shop was filled with people; each one was taken to an individual room, and Lin Mo was similarly led by a servant into one room, where a white-haired elder sat cross-legged, eyes closed, seemingly not surprised or exceptionally courteous about his arrival.
"What do you wish to sell, Sir? Please hand me your space ring," the elder opened his eyes, their small pupils shining brilliantly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but furrow his sword eyebrows.
Seeing this, the elder chuckled and said, "It seems it's your first time at our Wanwu Building, Sir? It's the rule here. We've opened numerous branches in the Canglan Star Domain, having been established for tens of thousands of years. If it weren't for our reputation, we couldn't continue operating."
Apparently noticing Lin Mo's concern, the elder explained slowly.
"Alright, these are the items I want to sell. Give me a suitable price." Lin Mo hesitated briefly before directly handing over a space ring to the elder.
Consequently, the elder received the space ring, scanning it with divine thought. A hint of surprise flashed across his face but quickly vanished. Although the items in the ring were precious, the elder, having worked in the Wanwu Building for many years, had seen numerous treasures, so he was merely slightly astonished.
"The items are good, only quite diverse. I need to calculate, please wait a moment," uttered the elder, closing his eyes—not performing mental arithmetic but communicating with colleagues at the Wanwu Building to calculate an appropriate price.
After waiting for roughly ten minutes, the elder reopened his eyes, smiling, "We, at the Wanwu Pavilion, willing to purchase these items for a hundred thousand soul coins."
Hearing the offered price, a hint of suspicion arose in Lin Mo's eyes. Given the long-standing establishment of the Wanwu Pavilion, it shouldn't deceive him.
Before deciding to sell these items, Lin Mo had already perused numerous texts in the Mystic Realm Sect, having calculated and cleared the prices of almost all items, ensuring no major discrepancies. Even when selling in the black market at three layers lower, it shouldn't be so low.
"Sir, apart from that 'Earth Rank' mid-grade meteorite iron, this meteorite iron can be sold for fifty thousand soul coins, the price is somewhat low; hence I wanted to inquire about your intentions." The elder explained slowly.
As an Evil-breaking Monarch and world-level expert, they undoubtedly possess numerous treasures, but they typically spend wealth on enhancing personal strength, such as buying spaceships and starlight, making other treasures not exceedingly valuable.
And the 'Earth Rank' mid-grade meteorite mentioned by the elder is a key material for crafting spaceships. According to Lin Mo's research, this meteorite should at least fetch a hundred thousand soul coins, yet it was forcibly devalued by five layers.
"Other than the 'low-level' meteorite iron, sell the rest," Lin Mo hesitated a moment before responding.
The prices of other items were depreciated by only two to three layers, still within an acceptable range, but selling that 'Earth Rank' meteorite iron would be a significant loss.
"Alright, please wait a moment, Sir," the elder remarked with a grin, as if foreseeing Lin Mo wouldn't sell the 'meteorite iron'. "This type of meteorite iron is useful for crafting spaceships, but the demand in the Mystic Realm Sect is relatively small; hence selling it is rather difficult, leading to a lower price. If you wish to sell it, you can try the free trading center on the ninety-eighth floor; perhaps you can sell it there."
While speaking, the elder handed a space ring to Lin Mo, smiling cheerfully.
"Free trading center?" Lin Mo took the space ring and scanned it with divine thought, finding a pile of one hundred thousand soul coins lying quietly inside.
