Chapter 1158 – Sky High Pawn Price

…

…

…

Starbind Bank’s interior had different dimensional worlds located within it . And, its pawn store was in the shape of a six floored pagoda that floated high in the sky .

Many masters arrived at the pagoda and turned into a beam of lightning, flying directly within .

Lin Ming rubbed his chin . He bid farewell to River Feather and flew in alone .

At this time, a light blue hazy mist covered his body, and one was barely able to make out the contours of his features . One couldn’t clearly see his appearance nor clearly make out his age . This was a protection that Starbind Bank arranged for those people that weren’t willing to disclose their identity . Of course, if one really wished to look through this concealment it would be easy . But in this aspect, Starbind Bank’s credibility had stood up to the most rigorous tests of time . It had operated for so many years and yet there had never been a single time when they tried to steal the belongings of their guests, nor had they ever secretly investigated the appearance of their guests or violated their privacy .

After Lin Ming entered the pagoda, he went to the first level . The space here was a thousand miles long and wide, with a large crowd of talkative guests that were here to pawn treasures .

Lin Ming moved straight to the second floor . According to what River Feather told him, expensive treasures had to be pawned on the second floor .

Just as Lin Ming arrived at the second floor, a beautiful young woman dressed in white with a late Divine Sea cultivation stopped Lin Ming, saying with a smile, “Young Sir, please hold on . Do you have a VIP card?” Although she was technically refusing him entry, her tone and expression were actually quite comfortable .

“No . ”

“My apologies . If you do not have a VIP card, you will have to have the appraiser on the first level appraise your treasure first . If the value is high enough, you may enter the second floor . ” As the young woman spoke to here, her voice caught in her throat . She felt a deep pressure suddenly enveloping her .

Under this pressure, even her soul began to tremble .

“Peak Holy Lord master? No… half-step World King!?”

The white-clothed woman’s eyes flashed with a startled light as she took a step backwards . With her late Divine Sea cultivation, she could judge Lin Ming’s relative strength according to the pressure he released . This was not a level of perception that an ordinary Divine Sea master could possess . It was clear that many great masters often came to Starbind Bank’s second floor .

Even so, peak Holy Lord and even half-step World King powerhouses were very rare . These were distinguished guests . The only level above them was World Kings, and it had to be known that one of Starbind Bank’s secret owners was the True Martial Great World King .

The white-clothed woman’s voice immediately attracted everyone’s eyes . They all glanced at Lin Ming, “Half-step World King? Is it some super master from a Holy Land level influence? To think that they would personally come here… I wonder just what they are pawning!”

“This is a half-step World King powerhouse… that’s the first time I’ve ever seen one, just incredible… even a half-step World King has come out . The grand auction three days from now will surely be worth watching . ”

“Senior may certainly enter a higher level . Please . ” The white-clothed woman motioned with her hand, inviting Lin Ming upstairs .

Like this, Lin Ming stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor underneath the envious gaze of others . But, he didn’t stop at the second floor and went straight to the fourth .

As he entered the fourth floor, a middle-aged scholar welcomed him . Together with the woman, they guided Lin Ming to an inner room .

At this time, Lin Ming had already restrained his aura . Soul pressure itself was a kind of force field, and to use it required soul force . Since Mo Eversnow’s soul was still damaged, she wasn’t able to release this soul pressure for too long a time .

He had disguised himself as a half-step World King master in order to increase his number of chips and ensure that this transaction would be absolutely safe .

“Senior, are you here to pawn treasures for the auction three days from now? May I ask what Senior would like to pawn?” The middle-aged scholar said with anticipation . If the treasures pawned were valuable enough, the yearly interest would be quite considerable .

“Correct . Take a look at these and tell me what their value is . ” Lin Ming raised a hand and tossed out six dragon bone relics .

30 dragon bone relics were enough to refine the Esoteric Immortality Pill . These six remaining dragon bone relics were to be pawned to ensure that his chances in the auction would be better .

“This is…”

As the middle-aged scholar saw these six black crystal beads, his eyes shined . “God beast bones?”

The middle-aged scholar was able to instantly discern the value of these dragon bone relics at first sight . Lin Ming praised this man inwardly . This middle-aged scholar was indeed a professional, able to tell whether something was a common treasure or a top treasure with just a single glance .

The middle-aged scholar revealed a solemn look . He clapped his hands and the curtains outside moved . A robust and vibrant old man with a long beard walked in . This person only had an early Divine Lord realm cultivation, but his eyes shined exceptionally bright . It was clear that he was an appraisal master .

The old man appraised the dragon bone relics for a moment . Then, with a slight movement of his lips, he sent a true essence sound transmission to the middle-aged scholar containing his appraisal results . The middle-aged scholar praised, “These are dragon bone relics refined from the bone of an Azure Dragon, they are truly wonderful items! But what a pity, the dragon marrow has already been taken out and there is only the pure skeleton left behind . Because of this, the value is reduced by 70-80% . Even so, these dragon bone relics are much more precious than a drop of dragon horn blood! For these six dragon bone relics, I am willing to pawn 350 billion violet sun stones for Senior! What does Senior think about this?”

Lin Ming nodded . This was about the price he expected . The price for pawning something was only 50-60% of the selling price . This was the only way that the pawn store could make a profit once the original master decided they didn’t want the item anymore .

“Haha, Senior truly is great . Does Senior have any more items that you wish to pawn?” The middle-aged scholar personally poured a cup of tea for Lin Ming . “This is nine fog tea formed from 10,000 year camellia flowers . They are infused with high quality spirit spring water . Senior, please have a taste . ”

Lin Ming received the teacup and took a sip . Really, this tea was quite fragrant . There was even a light feeling of having his soul revitalized . Compared to the chaotic crowd downstairs, the treatment on the fourth floor was worlds apart . This was the difference power and wealth brought .

Lin Ming drank the tea and then took out the goddess’ necklace from his spatial ring, placing it in front of the middle-aged scholar .

“This is…” A doubtful expression crossed the middle-aged scholar’s face . As he looked at this necklace, he didn’t notice anything special about it .

The middle-aged scholar picked up the necklace . It was quite heavy and ice cold to the touch . Moreover, there were some faint Law fluctuations exuding from it .

“This is a spirit artifact… however, it seems to lack an artifact spirit… no, that’s not right . This is…”

The long-bearded old man was the first to respond, startled . He looked at Lin Ming with incredulity in his eyes and then began to rapidly whisper to the middle-aged scholar .

After the middle-aged scholar listened to him, he suddenly shot up from his chair . “Are you serious!?”

The old man nodded . The middle-aged scholar was completely floored . He investigated the necklace again, but was more or less assured in the old man’s opinion .

Although the old man didn’t have a high cultivation, he was actually the chief appraisal master of this pawn store . If there was something that caught his interest like this, he certainly wouldn’t make a mistake, especially if it was so valuable . If he didn’t have absolute assurance in his guess, he wouldn’t have said anything .

“This is… a spirit treasure created by an Empyrean!? Senior actually has such a treasure…” The middle-aged scholar sucked in a deep breath and looked at Lin Ming with awe in his eyes!

An Empyrean spirit treasure was something that normally only Great World King level powerhouses possessed . For instance, when direct disciples of Empyreans grew up they were on the same level as Great World Kings . The weapons they used would often be Empyrean spirit treasures .

Of course, this spirit treasure that Lin Ming presented was broken and could no longer be used . Even so, the value was tremendous! If the inherent refining techniques and Law fluctuations within this necklace were obtained by someone, the comprehensions they could gain would be a truly serendipitous lucky chance!

As the middle-aged scholar saw this necklace, he found it hard to remain calm even though he had come across many treasures . For someone who worked in a pawn store, the most exciting matter was to come across extremely rare heavenly treasures like this .

“Senior, do you plan on selling this necklace? We will pay you a full and satisfying price!” The middle-aged scholar politely said as he rubbed his hands together . If it weren’t for a special time like right now, normally others wouldn’t bring out such a treasure to sell . They would only trade it for something equally precious .

But Lin Ming firmly shook his head and said, “I am not selling, only pawning . I will return to redeem it within five years . ”

Lin Ming certainly couldn’t sell something that Empyrean Primordius had left behind . Even if it had no value to him, he would still redeem it . This was his respect to Empyrean Primordius . After all, Empyrean Primordius had been his teacher .

“What a pity . ” The middle-aged scholar secretly shook his head . If this was sold, he could even present it to the True Martial Great World King . Although the True Martial Great World King already had a complete Empyrean spirit treasure, just the Laws within this necklace would be enough to tempt him .

As the middle-aged scholar and Lin Ming spoke, the curtains around them lifted once more and two additional appraisal masters walked in . One was a white-haired old woman and another was a skinny man . These two didn’t even speak to the long-bearded old man . Instead, all three of them were completely engrossed in appraising this Empyrean spirit treasure, their eyes shining with obvious excitement .

They constantly moved around, changing their perspective and speaking with true essence sound transmissions . It was only after an hour that they finished appraising the goddess’ necklace . The long-bearded old man told the middle-aged scholar the appraisal result . Even in the end, the three appraisal masters weren’t able to discern which Empyrean had crafted this necklace .

This was also within reason . The world of Empyreans was incomparably mysterious . Even with the long-bearded old man’s experience, he still wasn’t able to touch upon such a high realm . He was only able to determine that this was an Empyrean spirit treasure, a vague estimation of its quality, and an approximate price . For someone to be able to do this was already extremely rare .

The middle-aged scholar hesitated for a moment and then waved his hand, tossing out a sound transmitting talisman . A moment later, he received a sound transmitting talisman in reply . After several exchanges, he made a final decision . Only after this was finalized again did he stretch out his two hands and stick out six fingers . He calmly and clearly enunciated, “6 trillion!”

Lin Ming’s eyebrows jumped up . Silently, he began to rapidly converse with Mo Eversnow in his spiritual sea . “Okay, it’s a deal at 6 trillion!”

The following matters were much simpler . Lin Ming left behind a password array formation symbol . Then, he took away a total of 63,600 violet sun stone crystal cards from Starbind Bank and left . When this was added to his original wealth as well as the thousand some crystal cards that River Feather had given him, he had a total of 60,000 crystal cards . This was a total of 7 trillion!

And at this time, the auction for the Boundless World Pill had finally begun!
