Making a Small Profit of Several Hundred Million
Ye Fengmian and the others, who hadn't gone far, heard Lin Mu's words.
They almost all stumbled and fell to the ground.
The Immortal Stones that I spent so much effort to obtain have ended up benefiting someone else.
It was sold for 30 million.
This is practically rubbing their faces in the ground.
"Damn it!" Ye Fengmian's heart was filled with anger.
If he weren't outmatched, he would have fought him to the death.
The Examiners waiting outside couldn't help but twitch their lips when they saw the scene on the Virtual Screen.
Ye Fengmian originally thought Lin Mu just wanted to annoy her, but she didn't expect Lin Mu to pull this stunt.
"This guy is really interesting!"
"But then again, is this in accordance with the rules?"
"What's wrong with that? Didn't Ye Fengmian fight for Immortal Stones for his underlings? The strong have always occupied more resources!"
"..."
The people were talking about it.
They also know very well that there is no such thing as fairness in this world.
With enough ability, many things can be accomplished.
Lin Mu is strong enough to seize so many Immortal Stones, so he is qualified to participate in the auction.
In previous years, during the Martial Arts Exam, it was common for spoiled rich kids to spend a lot of money to hire people to help them.
They tend to turn a blind eye to such things, since wealth is a form of power in this world.
Lin Mu sat on a rock, with several Immortal Stones placed in front of him.
He originally planned to sell them for 30 million each.
Unexpectedly, these people went crazy and kept raising the price, which made him realize how valuable the quota for Immortal Stones was.
So he changed his mind and immediately addressed those people.
"Since you all want Immortal Stones, let's start the bidding at thirty million, the highest bidder wins!"
Many people looked embarrassed when they heard this.
They are indeed rich, but if they use this method, the price of the Immortal Stones will be driven up very high.
But they also knew that Lin Mu was not a businessman, so how could he keep his word? He could change the rules at will if he wanted to.
"Thirty-five million!" shouted Little Fatty with a Blood Qi Value of 7.0.
He was well-equipped and had a ruddy complexion, clearly indicating a well-off family background.
Lin Mu remembered him; he was the one who said his family owned a bank.
"Forty million!" shouted a thin, rather ordinary-looking man.
The Little Fatty's expression wasn't good, and he spoke again, "Fifty Million!"
Many people hesitated after hearing this.
The thin man gritted his teeth but did not make a bid.
"Fifty Million once!"
"Fifty Million twice!"
"Fifty Million three times!"
"Make a deal!"
Lin Mu shouted.
The Little Fatty's face was full of excitement. He went to Lin Mu's side, took out a POS machine, operated it, and a transfer page appeared.
Lin Mu gave his card number.
After some maneuvering, the Little Fatty successfully transferred Fifty Million.
Lin Mu felt a mix of emotions.
No wonder it's Martial Arts Exam; there are so many rich people here.
"Here you go!" Lin Mu picked up an Immortal Stones and threw it at the Little Fatty.
The Little Fatty's face was full of smiles.
"I'm from the Jia Family, my Jia Mu. You can get to know me when you enter the academy!"
Lin Mu nodded slightly and casually picked up another Immortal Stones: "Now, let's auction the second one!"
"Thirty-one million!" someone shouted.
Thirty-two million!
"Thirty-three million!"
"..."
Prices continue to rise.
It was eventually sold for Fifty Million.
Lin Mu continued the auction, selling one Immortal Stones after another.
When it came to the last one, the price was driven up to 80 million.
Lin Mu was well aware that this was the scarcity effect; the further along the way, the more money people would contribute.
Looking at the hundreds of millions of yuan that had appeared in his bank account, Lin Mu felt a mix of emotions.
This Martial Arts Exam!
It's incredibly profitable!
All of this made him want to take the exam again.
Qian Mu and Bai Mo stood beside them, feeling a touch of envy.
In such a short time, they made hundreds of millions.
This speed at which they make money is comparable to that of martial artists at the Fourth Order or higher.
However, they also know that this way of making money has limitations.
Normally, people who possess Immortal Stones will hide, and if they see someone stronger than themselves, they will immediately run away.
If it weren't for encountering someone like Ye Fengmian, even Lin Mu would have had to pay a considerable price to obtain a few Immortal Stones.
Lin Mu glanced around and saw that the buyers standing not far away had smiles on their faces.
Although he is not a man of his word, he is not a man who breaks his promises either.
Since we promised to help them ascend to the Immortal Ladder, we will do so.
"Let's go!" Lin Mu said.
Those people nodded slightly and followed Lin Mu.
Bai Mo and Qian Mu followed behind him.
Many people were envious of the Immortal Stones in their hands, but dared not approach.
Lin Mu stopped when he reached the bottom of the Immortal Ladder.
The group behind him also stopped and looked toward the Immortal Ladder.
This Immortal Ladder is extremely tall, stretching as far as the eye can see, and is surrounded by Immortal Qi, giving it a hazy, ethereal feel.
Moreover, it floats in mid-air without any support, clearly indicating that it is not an ordinary object.
Lin Mu gazed at the Immortal Ladder before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
For some reason, the aura emanating from this Immortal Ladder is somewhat similar to that of the Immortal Stones.
He asked Bai Mo with some curiosity, "Is there something strange about this Immortal Ladder?"
Bai Mo shook her head slightly. "I don't know. This should be the most special part of the Martial Arts Exam, because everyone who has climbed the Immortal Ladder has forgotten what happened on the Immortal Ladder after they come down!"
A look of surprise crossed Lin Mu's face. "Forgot?"
"Yes! There seems to be some kind of Formation on the Immortal Ladder. Those who attempt to pass through it will be affected and will forget their memories of the Immortal Ladder, regardless of whether they pass or not!" Bai Mo said.
Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly. So this Immortal Ladder is indeed strange.
"What? Are you scared already?" A slightly cold voice rang out.
Lin Mu looked toward the source of the sound and saw a man in a suit walking toward him, holding Immortal Stones in one hand.
Many people standing next to Lin Mu looked surprised when they saw him.
The person before me is Cui Boxuan has the highest reputation in the Martial Arts Exam.
He is also widely recognized as a strong person.
"You can actually withstand the attack of the Immortal Stones!" Lin Mu said.
Cui Boxuan smiled slightly, "I've also cultivated some Secret Art, so obtaining an Immortal Stones shouldn't be a problem!"
Lin Mu nodded slightly, without saying a word.
Cui Boxuan then asked, "The Immortal Ladder has Ninety-Nine Floors in total. How many floors do you think you can climb?"
Lin Mu's expression remained calm. "One or two more layers than you, that's about right!"
"Arrogant! You were lucky at the Death Gate before. Once you're on this Immortal Ladder, I'll show you my true strength!" Cui Boxuan said arrogantly.
Lin Mu didn't take it seriously, as if he didn't care about Cui Boxuan at all.
The more this happened, the more obvious the fighting spirit became on Cui Boxuan's face.
As a genius who ranked Martial Arts Exam Top Scorer, how could he be willing to be trampled under Lin Mu's feet?
