Chapter 1254: 556: Eye of the Ghost King! Yan Nai’er’s Destiny!_2

One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins, damn, that’s a sky-high price.

Lanling brought over three treasures: a platinum dagger, a Flowing Years Elixir, and a bottle of Nirvana Blood.

He still didn’t know if these three items could fetch one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins.

Immediately, Lanling gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred and thirty thousand gold coins, it’s not unacceptable."

Immediately, the female Store Manager looked at Lanling in astonishment.

Was there really someone willing to spend one hundred and thirty thousand gold coins on a Shining Star Tear?

The female Store Manager said, "Charming young man, I know there are rumors that the Shining Star Tear contains mystical energy, perhaps even related to a secret treasure. But countless people have researched it and found nothing. The more one studies it, the more one gets confused, ultimately leading to misfortune."

Lanling said, "Thank you for your advice, but I must obtain it."

The female Store Manager said, "In that case, please attend the auction three days from now. The Shining Star Tear will appear there."

Lanling frowned and said, "Can’t you sell it to me now? Why wait until three days later?"

The female Store Manager said, "I’m really sorry. Firstly, the Shining Star Tear is a signature treasure that greatly enhances the level of our auction. Secondly, it is the owner’s own request. Rest assured, this treasure has failed to auction five times already, with a starting price of one hundred and thirty thousand, it has never been taken, so I’m confident you can get it at the base price."

Lanling sighed helplessly.

Then, the female Store Manager said, "If you want to participate in the auction, please show relevant assets, like a Rakshasa gold draft."

Rakshasa City has gold drafts too? How advanced?

In the lower tribes, Lanling had never seen gold drafts. Even the dowry given by Constantine to the little Barbarian King was transported in two or three horse-drawn carriages full of gold coins.

Seeing Lanling’s expression, the female Store Manager said, "Without the relevant asset proof, I cannot allow you into the auction because this is the highest-level auction of our Heaven and Earth Pavilion. We absolutely cannot have someone bid and then not trade. Even if we were to kill you, it would ruin our reputation."

Lanling said, "I didn’t bring enough gold drafts, but I brought three heavyweight treasures."

The female Store Manager’s eyes widened, revealing a curious look.

But she was only curious. After being the Shopkeeper of the Heaven and Earth Pavilion for over ten years, what treasures hadn’t she seen?

The female Store Manager said, "Please present them. If suitable, I can appraise them immediately."

Lanling took out the first treasure, a platinum dagger.

This dagger had been dyed black before, but Lanling had cleaned it. The moment it was drawn, it emitted a dazzling glow.

Not only that, it was genuinely as white as snow with a metallic luster.

Even as an art piece, it looked stunningly beautiful.

Platinum here wasn’t the platinum of Earth but the second mystical metal of this alternate world.

The first mystical metal in this world is dragon gold, the second is platinum, and the third is black gold.

Platinum surpasses black gold in both hardness and toughness, but it’s very light, so the same volume of platinum costs several times more than black gold.

The moment Lanling drew the platinum dagger, the female Store Manager’s eyes lit up.

Indeed, it was a treasure worth ten thousand gold coins.

The female Store Manager took the dagger, sniffed its scent, felt its unique energy aura, and became quite infatuated.

Moments later, the female Store Manager said, "If you’re willing to sell it now, we’re ready to offer you eight thousand gold coins for this platinum dagger."

Lanling said, "Is there a second option?"

The female Store Manager said, "Though this platinum dagger isn’t extremely rare, its value is obvious. We’re missing such an item for the auction three days from now, so we’re willing to include it as an auction item. Such things sell best and tend to get bid up, so if nothing unexpected happens, the final price should surpass twelve thousand gold coins. After deducting a fifteen percent transaction fee, you’d get over ten thousand gold coins, which is more profitable for you."

This mystical metal weapon has always been a hard currency, easy to sell.

"Fine, I’ll let you auction it," Lanling said.

The female Store Manager said, "Please present the second treasure. I’m quite eager to see it."

Lanling’s first treasure, the platinum dagger, had already whetted the female Store Manager’s appetite.

He presented the second treasure.

An unremarkable box was handed over.

When the female Store Manager opened it, her eyes widened in astonishment, and she held her breath.

For a full half minute, she didn’t blink.

First, she held her breath, and then she became extremely excited, her breathing turning rapid.

Because the second treasure Lanling presented was a woman’s dream, the Flowing Years Elixir.

After taking the Flowing Years Elixir, one becomes twenty years younger, but the price is ten years off one’s lifespan.

The female Store Manager’s eyes brimmed with tears, clearly reminiscing about her youthful days.

She still looked beautiful now, but her hair was entirely white, and her eyes were full of the vicissitudes of life.

Yet, it was evident she had once been an exceptionally beautiful woman, adored by countless men.

These years must have left indelible memories, memories she longed for to this day.

And after taking the Flowing Years Elixir, she could be twenty years younger, returning to her most beautiful years.
