Chapter 377: Chapter 204: Auction, Sky-high Price Scroll, Powerful Poison

However, with so much money on hand, he had to find a way to spend it and convert it into Combat Power or other useful items.

Otherwise, if the money just sat there, it would be nothing more than a number.

So, Lin Mo paid closer attention to the upcoming auction items.

After the more conventional items were sold, the following lots grew more varied and even stranger.

There were bizarre collectibles, rare materials, and even slaves—that is, human beings.

But most of these things were of no use to Lin Mo.

As the auction went on, his interest began to wane, and he was getting ready to leave.

However, just as Lin Mo was about to stand up, the auctioneer on stage suddenly produced a small jar.

"Our next lot is a very special item..."

As she spoke, her voice seemed to tremble. "This potent poison was personally concocted by an Alchemy Master using the toxin of the Lord Level Demon, the Highly Poisonous Scorpion King, as its main ingredient. It was then combined with the Silver Level toxic herb, Spider King Saliva Grass, and many other supplementary materials. It is named the Scorpion and Spider King Pair."

"According to the Alchemy Master who created it, once this toxin enters the body, even an Elite Level Professional or Demon will be severely affected. They will find it difficult to move for a short period, and the flow of their Qi and Blood and the channeling of their Magic Power will be greatly restricted."

"As for any Professional at the Senior Level or below, it could prove fatal!"

’That potent?’

Lin Mo’s eyes instantly lit up.

’This is good stuff. Exactly what I need.’

After all, just yesterday, Lin Mo had learned an Excellent Level Skill called "Poisoning."

It not only allowed him to coat his weapons with poison faster and more easily, but it also further increased the toxin’s potency.

Lin Mo had even been wondering if he should go buy some poison today.

But ordinary poisons put him in an awkward position. Weaker poisons were only effective against weaker opponents—opponents Lin Mo could defeat easily even without using poison.

This poison, however, was different. It was incredibly effective even against Elite Level Professionals and Demons, those at Level 10 or higher.

’As long as the price isn’t too outrageous, I have to get my hands on this!’

"And now, bidding for this vial of poison, the ’Scorpion and Spider King Pair,’ will officially begin. The starting bid is 1,800 Gold Coins."

After all, the materials used were quite valuable and its effect was incredibly potent, so the price was naturally not going to be low.

And there were quite a few people who wanted to buy it.

"1,800 Gold Coins."

"1,850."

"I’ll bid 1,900!"

Most of the bidders were Assassins, but there were also some merchants and members of other Professions. For those with enemies to deal with, the reason for wanting this poison was self-evident.

Additionally, Professionals nearing the Senior Level might buy it. If used correctly, it gave them a decent chance of taking down a Lord Level Demon, a foe far above their own rank.

However, as the price of the poison continued to climb, this group of people gave up on the idea of competing for it.

After all, if they paid too much, they might not even break even, even if they successfully killed a Lord Level Demon.

"2,000 Gold Coins."

"2,050."

"2,060..."

It was a consumable, after all, and the quantity didn’t seem to be large. Once the price surpassed two thousand Gold Coins, it became much harder for it to continue climbing.

"2,150 Gold Coins!"

Lin Mo seized the opportunity, raising the price by nearly 100 Gold Coins in a single bid. As expected, the auction hall fell silent. No one else spoke up.

"2,150 Gold Coins, going once."

"2,150 Gold Coins, going twice."

"2,150 Gold Coins, for the third and final time... Sold! Congratulations to our distinguished guest for winning this coveted treasure!"
