"Fifteen million."
"Can't it be less?"
"Not at all, miss Shui. Everything in this store is non-negotiable."
"I'll take it for thirteen million."
"My apologies, miss Shui, but I really can't …"
"With my Origin Water race's friendship with boss Gu, is two million a problem?" Shui Yunlan was furious.
"But miss Shui, you want everything cheaper. T-this …" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands awkwardly.
Li Mo only gave Shui Yunlan a look before turning his attention to the lost items. He came to Gu Yiming's store with only one purpose, to make money.
"How much is this?"
Li Mo picked up an unassuming stone, the size of a fist. From the outside, it looked no different from any other stone.
"This is the lost stone from one of the universe's seven lost ruins, the Primordial Ruins. Fixed price, thirty million."
Lost items looked the same on the surface, but their value depended on where they were found. In the universe, the seven lost ruins were the most famous. But all lost items from those places were, without exception, extremely expensive.
Of course, the quality of the items produced in the Seven Great Lost Ruins was also several grades higher than those produced in other places. According to legend, the three most powerful divine artifacts in the universe — the Staff of Origin, the Eye of Origin, and the Pearl of Creation — came from the Seven Great Lost Ruins.
Without exception, the Seven Great Lost Ruins were all located in space-time turbulence. The environment was harsh and dangerous. Even an Emperor God wouldn't dare to step into such a dangerous place. Hence, if one wanted to bring out an item from the Seven Great Lost Ruins, not only would one need to be capable, one would also need to be lucky.
Because of the difficulty, the price went up as well.
"I'll take it."
Li Mo didn't hesitate to pay.
"Hold it!"
Shui Yunlan pointed at the stone in Li Mo's hand, "I've had my eye on this for a long time. I was just about to buy it."
"Just about, but you haven't, right?"
"When I buy things, I always pick a bunch and pack them all up. Ask the shopkeeper if you don't believe me."
The shopkeeper nodded, "Miss Shui, that is indeed the case."
Shui Yunlan was a regular customer, so the shopkeeper naturally favored her.
"Oh, alright. Here you go."
Li Mo put the rock down and asked Shui Yunlan, "What didn't you pack?"
Li Mo's actions startled Shui Yunlan. Shui Yunlan was already aware of Li Mo's' notoriety 'in Lost Street. Through these past few days of analysis, Shui Yunlan was certain that Li Mo didn't become a second level Wonder Appraiser through luck.
After all, even a Level 3 Miracle Appraiser could achieve a hundred percent accuracy in appraising ordinary lost items. However, when it came to appraising lost items from the seven major ruins, their accuracy wouldn't even reach ten percent.
All the lost items from the seven great ruins, without exception, carried a mysterious aura. It was this aura that rendered the Miracle Appraisers helpless.
Seeing Li Mo turn away, Shui Yunlan examined the stone and put it back, "I was wrong. I don't need it."
Shui Yunlan was a member of the Elemental Water Clan, one of the ten strongest clans. She was naturally sensitive to water, and she also had an extremely rare talent in the Elemental Water Clan — the Water Spirit.
As long as Shui Yunlan touched an object, she could sense everything about it. Of course, this was without the influence of the lost aura. When it did, Shui Yunlan's accuracy was only thirty percent.
Li Mo didn't even look at Shui Yunlan as he continued his selection. His expression told Shui Yunlan, 'Why are you looking at me?'
'You don't want it, I don't want it.'
"This, this, and this."
Li Mo picked three in one go.
"A hundred million god crystal coins."
"I'll take them all."
Shui Yunlan walked over, flabbergasted at Li Mo's three lost items. She frequented this store and had seen them more than once.
She was very sure that these three lost items were all trash.
Naturally, she was not 100% sure. After all, these three Lost Items had the Lost Aura on them. It was just that compared to the other Lost Items, the probability of these three Lost Items dropping was slightly lower.
"I'll take the stone as well."
Li Mo picked the one he had his eye on.
Li Mo spent all his money on four lost items from the seven major ruins.
They were unsealed.
Gu clan's Rare Treasures Shop gave him a Truth Potion and a hundred million blood bottle for free. Li Mo didn't need to go through all that trouble, just wait patiently.
Shui Yunlan had long since stopped choosing. Her attention was on Li Mo.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
Li Mo opened the three lost items one after the other, only to find they were empty. A hundred million god crystal coins, all for nothing.
Tong ~
The moment the Truth Potion was poured on the first stone Li Mo had his eye on, it exploded in golden light.
"I knew it!" Shui Yunlan blurted out.
"What is this?" The shopkeeper cried in shock.
After the golden light faded, the item inside the stone was revealed. It was not an artifact, but a stalk of herb that was completely golden in color.
"It's the Sacred Gold Herb!"
Shui Yunlan blurted out, then covered her mouth.
The Sacred Gold Herb was said to be an immortal herb that helped Golden Sovereign become an emperor. There was only one of it in the world, a true elixir of immortality!
"Oh, Water God!" Shui Yunlan was so excited she couldn't control herself.
"Shopkeeper, take this herb to the Rare Treasures Shop. Here's my card."
Li Mo understood the process well. It would be a great loss if he didn't sell a heaven-defying item like the Rare Treasures Shop.
"This is an elixir of immortality … truly an elixir of immortality …"
The shop owner held onto the Chaos Gold Holy Grass, and his hands were trembling with excitement.
"200 million god crystal coins! I want it now!" Shui Yunlan shouted.
"Do you think that's possible?" Li Mo looked at her helplessly.
An elixir of immortality could give an invincible expert another life. Who could resist such an effect?
"I'll get it done right away. According to the rules, the auction house will take a five percent cut."
"Alright."
"You're no ordinary man after all." Shui Yunlan glared at Li Mo.
"Aren't you the same, Water race's first princess?"
Shui Yunlan gnashed her teeth, stomped her foot, and left in a huff.
"Shopkeeper, I'm not done. I want this one, this one, and this one."
Li Mo picked three more in one go.
"Don't open it. Put it in the Rare Treasures Shop and sell it as the owner of the herb."
"Got it."
The penniless Li Mo left the Rare Treasures Shop.
