Lonely Swordsman - C22
It was just a small episode.
The auction was once again in full swing.
In the end, the Ice Heart Pill was still auctioned off by Feng Tai. However, it went from the original 45,000 to 60,000.
Then, Mingyue Chamber of Commerce released a few other treasures.
The Yang Bearing Talisman at the third level contained the fire energy of a high-level Aurous Core stage cultivator. It could harm the middle level of the Aurous Core stage and was especially used against evil spirits.
A mid-grade magic tool, the Frost Silver Ring, was made of cold iron and was capable of imprisoning a region of the world. For those who were imprisoned, the cold air entered their body and the true qi within their body didn’t circulate smoothly.
He could cultivate the Heavenly Realm’s cultivation technique, “Flame Mantra”. Drawing upon the fire energy of the heaven and earth to build up all the meridians in his body, condensing a fire pill, condensing a fire baby, burning the sky and boiling the sea, its power was unparalleled.
… ….
The greatest pleasure of an auction is that you can also say a few words without buying.
The money of others is my own. That’s why I don’t mind raising the price of guys I dislike.
It’s just that this sort of thing usually stops at a little, or else you end up getting stuck in it.
As the auction gradually came to an end, I didn’t manage to get anything. Either it was not to his liking, or the price was too expensive.
“The next treasure is a piece of wood that was struck by lightning. It will withstand a hundred years of lightning strikes from the high cliffs of the South Sea.” The energy contained within was so strong that even cultivators in the Earth Realm wouldn’t dare to touch it. It was a great treasure for refining spirit weapons and cultivating thunder-attribute cultivation techniques. The starting price is one hundred and fifty thousand, and each increase must not be less than three thousand. ”
After Chang Yuan finished speaking, there weren’t many enthusiastic voices around. Compared to rogue cultivators, ready-made cultivation techniques and magic treasures were much more important than impractical things like spiritual equipment and materials. Moreover, the starting price of one hundred and fifty thousand yuan was a bit too expensive.
Chang Yuan looked calm, but there was a tinge of regret in his eyes. This item would probably be sold for auction today.
After running around and eating and drinking until he was full, he actually felt a little sleepy. I supported my chin as I felt so bored that I was about to fall asleep.
However, after Chang Yuan finished speaking, my expression suddenly changed.
All of a sudden, my dantian was in a mess.
The old man who was occupying the mountain in my dantian suddenly woke up.
He kept shaking me, causing the true qi in my body to surge.
I felt a sense of urgency in him.
“Seems to be so, eager.”
He had a feeling of helplessness, as if he had fallen into a pit of his own accord.
As soon as I announced my price, the group of bastards rushed to help me raise it.
The one who shouted the fiercest was Feng Tai. After all, when this fellow was fighting over the Ice Heart Pill, I did my best to help him raise the price.
Under the coaxing of these bitches’ prices, the price of Thunderbolt Trees had already risen to 200,000 in a short period of time.
“Two hundred and three thousand.” I gritted my teeth.
“Twenty-six thousand.”
“Two hundred thirty thousand.”
“…”
As soon as I bid, a few mad dogs started chasing after me.
Soon, the price reached two hundred and fifty thousand.
Sometimes, one needed great courage to be able to hold their ground.
I adjusted my breathing and took a deep breath. He raised the price by fifty thousand, and sold all three hundred thousand of his money in one go.
Since it’s Heaven’s Punishment, the Sect Guarding Spirit Sword is something that my Heavenly Mountain Sword Sect’s previous ancestors urgently needed. Naturally, I believe it has its uses.
I said, “Three hundred thousand. This is all of my assets. If you guys are still interested, then I won’t keep you company. However, it was not yet time for the most valuable treasure. Spending such a large amount of money to buy a piece of wood that he might not even be able to use was more than enough to make up for the loss. Besides, I’m a man with money to spare. You can’t come to an auction empty-handed, can you? So, I hope that later on, when the best treasures come out, I won’t blame anyone else but myself. ”
My meaning was very clear: I raised the price just now, but now you guys raised the price. This price is the limit of what I can afford. If you continue to tangle with me, then I will accompany you to the end and see just who is the rich one.
Sure enough, after I said this, a few people hesitated for a moment before gradually falling silent.
Only Feng Tai was still unrelenting, like a mad dog chasing after a bite.
“Sorry, but I also need this Lightning Strike Wood very much. Three hundred and three thousand. ”
“Three hundred and ten thousand.” I braced myself.
Inside my thumb ring, there are also some manuals of cultivation and four large green flags. When the flag was cut by Wang Hu, I spent some money to get Zhao Dabao to help me refine it again. The four banners were all mid-grade magic tools. They could be used to form the Misty Lock Array and were worth quite a bit.
“313,000.”
“Three hundred and twenty thousand!”
“…”
“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”
Feng Tai shouted in high spirits. It was as if the money wasn’t money, but a string of numbers.
Three hundred and fifty thousand was more than the value of a thunderbolt tree. Even if it was an ordinary half-step Spirit Treasure, it could still be bought. If he raised the price again, it wouldn’t be worth it.
My face was flushed, and I cursed in my heart — F * ck, it seems like I won’t be able to buy it, I can only steal it later.
I cupped my hands together and smiled, revealing eight standard white teeth. “Congratulations.”
It was very sudden.
The smile on Feng Tai’s face froze just like that.
“Why didn’t you increase the price?” Feng Tai asked with his eyes wide open.
I looked at Feng Tai as if I was looking at an idiot: “Whether you are strong or not, your strength is not! “I am not like Fellow Feng who is so rich and has so much money —”
Feng Tai was extremely angry, his nostrils swelling as he exhaled heavily. It looked like it was going to tear me apart.
“Alright, alright.” I waved my hand. “Hurry up and hand over the money to take back the goods. Otherwise, people will think that you’re going to go back on your word.”
Feng Tai was stunned. He turned around and saw Chang Yuan also looking at him, his face scrunched up like a bitter gourd.
“Yes, senior.” Feng Tai cupped his fists and said, “I don’t have that much money.”
I whooped, “Oh — you want to be a white wolf. Do you think that this Bright Moon Merchant Guild is easy to bully? ”
Feng Tai fiercely glared at me, then said to Chang Yuan, “Senior, please do not misunderstand, please wait for a moment.”
After Feng Tai finished speaking, he adjusted his mood, looked at the entire audience, and said: “I am Feng Tai, and I urgently need one hundred and fifty thousand. I wonder which dao friend can lend me a helping hand. I promise I will return it all within seven days. ”
The scene fell into silence.
Most of those present had heard of Feng Tai’s infamous name.
Some of them closed their eyes, pretending that they didn’t see anything. Some of them were hesitating whether to borrow it or not. There were also some who wanted to curry favor with him and quickly lend him a helping hand.
It was only one hundred and twenty thousand yuan, but Chang Yuan was getting impatient. Feng Tai gritted his teeth and emptied all of his savings. Then, he handed over the Ice Heart Pill to Chang Yuan for a price of thirty thousand.
Chang Yuan took the money and gave the Thunderbolt Tree to Feng Tai, and the auction continued.
“Next treasure.”
A clever boy was seen carrying a long brown wooden box onto the platform.
He opened the wooden box and found a golden iron whip lying on the floor.
Chang Yuan waved his sleeves, pointed at the wooden box in the boy’s hand and said, “The Sea Breaking Whip is three feet eight inches long, a total of 24 pieces. Each section was engraved with mysterious runes. Middle tier magical equipment. The starting price is one hundred thousand, and each increase must not be less than three thousand. ”
A hundred thousand was not expensive for mid-grade magic tools. Ordinary mid-grade magic tools could be sold for one hundred and fifty thousand. But don’t forget, this is only the starting price. No one knew what the final price would be.
Don’t look at the three magic tools that I have spent ten thousand to refine, they are all mid-grade or high-grade magic tools. The materials were all from me. The bones of a Heavenly Realm Black Tiger were materials that could be used to refine spirit artifacts. Zhao Dabao was able to earn such a high price even without taking any money from him. Besides, he had only been able to produce three magical items out of such great materials. If he failed, it was hard to tell how many of them Zhao Dabao had been greedy for ink.
I already have a great sword. Although the name was not nice, it was still a mid-grade magic tool. And I know how to wield a sword. Thus, he did not have any thoughts on this Sea Breaking Whip.
A mid-grade magic tool was still very attractive to the cultivators present. Each and every one of them was vying for the other. It was extremely intense. Soon, he saw the price double.
In the end, the Sea Breaking Whip was bought by a scholar-looking skinny youth for a high price of 230,000 yuan.
— —
Chang Yuan cleared his throat and said, “Alright, please take out the final item of the auction.”
The quick-witted child carefully carried a plate and came up. On the plate was a thin silver armor, about half the height of a person, protecting the heart and other vital parts of the body.
“Silver Silkworm Armor, made from the silver threads of the Icy Jade Silkworm.” Light and soft, thin as a cicada’s wing. He was wearing this armor on his body and it seemed to be one with his skin. Ordinary weapons could not be penetrated, water and fire could not invade. It could resist low-grade Earth Realm wounds, while being injured in mid-grade Earth Realm. This armor was a half step spirit weapon. Just a little bit more and I would have been able to advance another half step and transform into a true spirit artifact. The starting price is two hundred thousand, and each increase must not be less than ten thousand. ”
The moment Chang Yuan said this, the crowd went into an uproar.
“There’s actually a spirit artifact!” Even though it’s only half a step, it’s still very rare! ”
“It’s a defensive inner armour, and its value is hard to estimate!”
“It can resist mid-tier Earth Realm attacks without being injured, while high-tier Earth Realm attacks can’t be broken. “Good treasure!”
“…”
I looked at the thin silver armor and felt a fire burning in my heart.
Not only is it because he is a half-step spirit artifact, but most importantly, this flexible armor could very possibly save my life at a critical moment.
The restlessness of the heaven’s retribution still did not stop. The true qi in his dantian began to surge, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
I looked at Feng Tai, and I knew it. This guy was already penniless and owed a fortune, so he was in no mood to bid. Staying here is just waiting for me to get in the way.
I didn’t expect our thoughts to be so similar.
I tried to communicate with Heaven, to coax a child into telling him it was all right. I will secretly use my cold stick to knock out Feng Tai this fellow and snatch the Thunderbolt Tree.
Indeed, as soon as this thought appeared in my mind, I saw the divine punishment gradually quieting down. The surging Zhen Qi inside his dantian slowly dissipated, and the atmosphere returned to its calm state.
I thought to myself, this divine punishment is definitely not an ordinary spirit sword!
The Silver Worm Armor ignited the atmosphere of the entire auction. Everyone was staring at the stage with burning gazes and their breathing seemed to have become heavier.
I know that if I want to successfully bid for the Silver Worm Armor, I will not be able to increase the price bit by bit. He was definitely going to shock everyone with his thunderous momentum.
So I stood up and cleared my throat.
“Five hundred thousand!”
