The Good For Nothing Young Lady's Otherworldly Domination Chapter 26

Chapter 26 - Being Followed

The Jiyu Auction House had nine floors. The first three were for purchasing materials and selling finished goods. The first few floors never closed so anyone could enter at anytime. The next three floors only opened when they held specific auctions, otherwise they were closed most of the time. As for the final three floors, they were a mystery and no one knew what they were for and n.o.body had been allowed to enter.

The first three floors for purchasing had strict levels. The first floor was the normal area, which means regular mercenaries could purchase and sell here. Everything on the first floor was the auction house's cheapest good. The second floor was the VIP area, which means the price of items that one wanted to buy or sell had to reach a certain standard to allow the to qualify to come to this floor.

The items and materials sold here were a lot better than those of the first floor. As for the third floor, it was the diamond area. Anyone who wants to enter this floor not only has to be rich but also had to have a certain level of skill as well. Of course, the items on the third floor were things not easily purchased. Every single thing on the floor was invaluable.

Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian followed that female staff and entered the second floor. When they stepped onto this floor, they could already feel the difference from the first floor. The second floor was as big, and the lobby only occupied a third of the s.p.a.ce. Also the decoration on the floor was a lot more upscale than the first floor, and the displays on this floor had a more high-cla.s.s appearance than the first floor as well.

The difference between the second floor and the first floor was that the second floor had a specific waiting area.

There were only two front desks: one was for selling finished goods, the other was for purchasing materials. Both front desks were set in the center of the lobby, and their displays were back to back. Lin Haoxue found out that the quality of the weapons here on the second floor was a lot higher than that of the first floor. Here there were all kinds of spirit pills that were made by tools refining masters.

There were a variety of spirit pills present. There were those for healing wounds, some for increasing one's profound power, Qi, and blood in a short period of time, and each of them seemed to be of very high quality.

Of course, there were a lot less customers on the second floor than on the first floor.

"Sister Lin, these two customers came to sell demon cores." That female staff walked to the selling front desk, and talked respectfully to a twenty something years old girl who was wearing a green skirt. This green-skirted girl's body and facial features were all top-notch, and at the moment she was playing with a small mirror in her hands.

"Selling demon cores?" This sister Lin took back the mirror right away and looked at the female staff in surprise. She said, "Xiao Lan, the first floor can also take care of purchasing demon cores, is there anything special about them?"

"Yes, sister Lin." Xian Lan immediately said, "They have too many demon cores and their quality isn't bad. According to the rules of the auction house, they definitely are qualified to enter the second floor."

"Oh?" Sister Lin looked at Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian with doubt as she couldn't tell what was so special about them except for the fact that they were pretty. But she knew her coworker well, so she waved her hand to the female staff and said, "Alright, you can go back downstairs."

The female staff took a few steps back respectfully, then she went back downstairs.

Sister Lin looked at them and said, "Hum, you guys have a lot of demon cores?"

"Yah it's a lot. We don't have much patience so we didn't count carefully. We need your help." Lin Haoxue smiled and talked politely as Shen Molian stood next to her with an indifferent face.

"Oh? How much do you mean by a lot?" Sister Lin took a glance at Shen Molian but she didn't get any response, so she turned her head around to talk to Lin Haoxue.  "Let me see, take them out."

"Alright." Shen Molian answered. She stepped a few steps back, and then took out a bunch of demon cores. They were all the same shape, and each color had about the same amount.

Sister Lin looked at this big pile of demon cores and looked at the two of them full of surprise. She was no longer calm, "The two of you hunted all these?"

"You guys buy and sell, right? Why are you asking?" Lin Haoxue hadn't spoken as Shen Molian answered coldly.

In fact, there were a few reasons that they were able to get these demon cores, some of them came from hunting, but there was a big part of it that was just good luck. At that time when they encounter the divine dragon, a lot of mercenaries almost died and tried their best to escape.
"It isn't important, I'm just asking." Sister Lin smiled and didn't ask anymore. "Then I'll appraise them."

Sister Lin extended her right hand and directly faced the pile of demon cores. She moved her hand closer and a light came out from her palm. Afterwards, the light covered up the entire pile of demon cores. The light ray slid down like water and covered these demon cores completely. It was kind of transparent and one could see the demon cores inside start to rock back and forth. After a while, the demon cores quit moving.

"Hum, not bad. These are mostly better than level four." Sister Lin took back her hand and nodded her head. She then said, "You have two thousand six hundred and forty three level four demon cores, five hundred and thirty two level five demon cores, eighty nine level six demon cores, and thirteen level seven demon cores. At market value, every level four demon core is worth a thousand gold coins, every level five demon core is worth ten thousand gold coins, and so on.

In other words, the demon cores you guys own are worth twenty nine million eight hundred and sixty three thousand gold coins. This is quite a bit of money."

She deserved to be called a senior manager of the Jiyu Auction House. She had calculated everything very rapidly within a short period of time. She had finished counting the demon cores and also calculated their worth astoundingly fast.

"It's inconvenient for us to carry gold coins so can we convert them into essence stones?" After thinking for a short while, Shen Molian asked.
Essence stone was a kind of stone that contained dense profound power. One cultivation speed was faster absorbing energy from essence stones than the surrounding atmosphere to cultivate.

Furthermore, essence stones didn't have to be divided by attribute, therefore any kinds of profound veins could absorb its spirit power for cultivation. Even though Lin Haoxue hadn't yet used essence stones, she still knew some things about them.

At the Profound Pract.i.tioner Academy, the academy gave most students one for their cultivation. Profound Pract.i.tioners didn't get any, Profound Masters got one inferior essence stone per year. Profound Grand Masters got one inferior essence stone every three months, and Profound Ancestors got one every month. Since Lin Haoxue entered the academy late, she hadn't gotten any essence stones yet.

"Of course you can. But we'll charge you a ten percent fee if you want to convert to essence stones. Essence stones are extremely precious, and we are now out of them. You will need to wait for a while." Sister Lin said.

"That's fine, we can wait." Shen Molian looked at Lin Haoxue, then kept talking, "Additionally, we need a grade one storage spirit tool."
"A grade one storage spirit tool? Those are worth five hundred inferior essence stones." Sister Lin said. "How about this, the price of one essence stone is ten thousand gold coins. Y

our gold coins can be converted to two thousand nine hundred and eighty six essence stones, minus the ten percent fee of two hundred and ninety eight essence stones and the grade one storage spirit tool for five hundred essence stones. Therefore, you will receive two thousand one hundred and eighty eight essence stones and three thousand gold coins. We do have two thousand one hundred and eighty eight essence stones on hand so I can give them to you right now."

Sister Lin waved her hands and a pile of essence stones showed up in front of Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian. After Shen Molian put away those essence stones, sister Lin took out a small red ring and said, "This is a storage ring. There's a hundred cubes of s.p.a.ce inside it for storing your personal items."

"Alright." Shen Molian took the ring from her and gave it to Lin Haoxue.

Lin Haoxue got the ring, and said farewell to sister Lin. Afterwards, both of them went downstairs.

"Those two little girls are people that you can't help but be fond of." Seeing the two of them proceed downstairs, Sister Lin smiled charmingly and walked upstairs to the third floor.

Lin Haoxue obtained the storage spirit tool that had a hundred cubes of s.p.a.ce and she also received a thousand essence stones, therefore she was very happy. No matter which world she was in, she realized that money was very important. Now these essence stones were enough for her to cultivate for a while.

The two of them left the Jiyu Auction House completely satisfied.

Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian had just stepped out of the entrance of the Jiyu Auction House when suddenly a lot of people waiting in line at the lobby secretly got up and follow them out.

Even though Demon Execution town was big, it was quite far from the imperial capital. Furthermore, it was close to the Demon Beast Forest and most of the mercenaries worked inside, therefore, public security in the town wasn't good. One could always see fights breaking out on the street. A wise man looks after his own hide, and this became the norm that every citizen of Demon Execution town believed. Here, it was obvious that the one who has bigger fist was king.

Concerning the ones following them, Lin Haoxue and Shen Molian didn't really care, therefore, they just kept walking. They planned to go to the Mercenary Labor Union to take a test for their mercenary badges. So from then on they could accept missions as mercenaries and obtain cultivation resources.

After walking for an hour, they turned around the corner in front of them which was the entrance to the Mercenary Labor Union. The two of them stopped at the same time and turned around as a black and white arrow shoot toward different, seemingly ordinary, places behind them.

Bang

Bang

They only heard the sound of two explosions and saw two silhouettes fall out of their concealed places.

"Come the f.u.c.k out, both of you! You've been following us secretly for such a long time, you're not tired?" Shen Molian said coldly after she had turned around fully.
