When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...

Chapter 138 If You Gain

Although this store was the organizer of this auction, the shadow of the Shen royal family was behind it. During the chaos, so many noble families were confiscated and exterminated, and the seized magic tools, magic clothes, elixirs, and top-quality materials piled up into a small mountain. Han Yuanchun, who also used iron-fisted methods to suppress the rebellion, was rich and powerful and distributed the spoils to his vassals. The Shen family, who established the new dynasty, could not be so generous, so they could only use this method to resell a large amount of wealth. Taking advantage of the public execution of evil cultivators to gather many noble families, the store concentrated on auctioning fine products for a few days.

Fortunately, Tong Nuonuo heard it, otherwise Chen Xiao and the others would have missed this rare event. More than a dozen families, hundreds or thousands of years of accumulation, who doesn't have some treasures that can calm the situation? Turning to the back half of the book, it was full of various top-grade elixirs, magic tools, and magic clothes. Chen Xiao even saw one or two mechanisms made by the master of mechanisms.

Xi Yunting also said that it was rare to see such a complete display of fine products. He looked at it carefully for a long time, spread out the booklet on a page, and pushed it to Chen Xiao: "Brother Xiao, I think this magic weapon should be very suitable for you."

The page showed a weapon, which looked very similar to the steel knife Chen Xiao had used before, but it was much more dazzling in appearance. The knife was three feet and three inches long, with a slightly curved blade, narrow and long, and layers of lines on the blade. The knife was called Zhengge, and it was of excellent quality. It was the pinnacle work of a master refiner hundreds of years ago. After the Zhengge was forged, it fell into the hands of its previous owner, who was a weapon collector. Zhengge had never seen blood in his hands, and it was still a new knife.

Chen Xiao had seen the page for this knife before, but he didn't take it seriously. This knife was longer than the steel knife he had used before, and the blade was very narrow, so Chen Xiao felt that he couldn't use it.

Chen Xiao looked up at Xi Yunting and asked, "Brother, why did you recommend this knife to me?"

Xi Yunting said: "This Zhengge is a magic weapon, with the meaning of sharp gold, and it will cause metal damage when attacking. Although its previous owner has never used it, he has carefully nurtured it for hundreds of years. If Xiaodi uses this knife, it will be the easiest to control. Once Zhengge is unsheathed, it will be as easy as an arm to control."

After hearing this, Chen Xiao was immediately excited, but what made him hesitate was that he had never used this kind of knife before, and he was worried that he would not be able to make the transition so quickly.

Xi Yunting said, "If Xiao brother is interested in this Zhengge, I can help Xiao brother train. When dealing with the poisonous viper, I saw the wound and felt that Xiao brother's swordsmanship still needs a lot of improvement. You don't need to use the previous sword shape, it really doesn't make much difference."

Chen Xiao didn't have any sword skills, he just learned a few moves from Du Rong. It had been a long time since he had experienced Xi Yunting's ability to end a topic and choke people to death. Chen Xiao felt a little depressed because he couldn't adapt.

"Thank you, big brother." After wiping a tear in his heart, Chen Xiao still followed Xi Yunting's good intention. He had originally wanted to improve his close combat, and Xi Yunting was willing to lend a hand. Chen Xiao, who had tasted the sweetness of his body skills, naturally wanted to.

Chen Xiao accepted his suggestion, which made Xi Yunting's eyes soften. He said calmly, "Brother Xiao, you don't have to thank me."

Xi Yunting was really thinking about Chen Xiao. This knife itself was a magical weapon. After leaving a mark with spiritual power, Chen Xiao could use it without consuming his vitality and could make attacks with the attribute of true essence. It was perfect for him. Besides, it was longer than the one Chen Xiao used before. As everyone knows, an inch longer is an inch stronger. This way, Xiaodi's close-range attack range would be extended and safer. For example, if he attacked the vital point of the viper, he would not be injured by its fangs.

At 5 p.m., the auction officially began. Chen Xiao and the other two were invited out of the private room and into a small hall with a raised ceiling. There was a small platform at the front of the hall, and facing it were several rows of seats. Chen Xiao glanced over and saw that there were about 40 seats.

Chen Xiao and the other two were led by the waitress to sit on the left side of the fourth row, which was not a very good position. Chen Xiao did not mind it, after all, there were many family heads in the capital at that time, and the shops would definitely give the good seats to those who could not afford to offend.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the waitresses led the guests to their seats one by one. During this time, the small hall was very quiet, and even if someone spoke, their voice was very low. However, because everyone had sharp ears and eyes, no matter how low the voice was, it could be heard by others in such a small place. Chen Xiao thought it would be better for everyone to speak casually, because the voices would be mixed together and it would be difficult to hear clearly.

Almost all the guests who participated in the auction had taken their seats when a man came up to the small platform. He claimed to be the manager of the store, and was dressed in a very respectable robe. He smiled before he spoke, and made a series of witty remarks. Soon, he brought up the atmosphere in the small hall, which seemed no longer as quiet and dull as before.

The manager led the atmosphere and then went down, and then a clerk who was in charge of the auction came up. It was obvious that this clerk had been tested for a long time, and faced with the distinguished guests who were much higher in status than him, he still presided over the auction calmly and steadily.

The first lot to be auctioned is usually a good one, to ensure that it can be sold and to set a good sign. Everyone has read the brochure beforehand, but they don’t know the order of the auctions, which makes people look forward to it.

The first lot did not disappoint people's expectations. The waitress came up with a tray in a graceful manner and showed it to the audience. It was a magic instrument in the shape of a hairpin. The pink delicate flowers were clustered together and bloomed beautifully. Under the flowers were golden vines and branches, entwined on a transparent dark green spiritual stone hairpin.

Chen Xiao scanned the hairpin magic weapon in the book. The magic weapon has water and wood attributes, and is also attached with rune arrays. Wearing it on a daily basis has a good effect on the practitioner's body and can make the blood active. When fighting, this hairpin becomes a sharp weapon for recovery, which can quickly heal the owner's injuries.

The appearance of this magic weapon caused a slight commotion in the small hall. Even Chen Xiao felt that the shop manager was too scheming. He actually brought out this magic weapon that was suitable for both giving as a gift or for personal use at the very beginning, and these noble people below were fighting for it.

As Chen Xiao expected, as soon as the clerk announced the starting price, the people present began to bid up the price one after another. Chen Xiao and the other two were not interested in the hairpin artifact, so they just watched them bid up the price calmly. There were both male and female practitioners in the venue, and not only the female practitioners, but even the men were not afraid to bid up.

Chen Xiao looked at it speechlessly and shook his head, but Xi Yunting beside him looked as if he had gained something.

Even the most lively show has its closing moment. In the end, the hairpin was bought by a male practitioner at a price several dozen times higher than the starting price. The waitress came over from the front and presented the hairpin to him. This rule was different from the rules of the previous auction. Chen Xiao could see that the winner of the hairpin was very proud. He admired and played with it for a while before putting it away. This attracted the attention of everyone present, especially several women who looked at him with envy.

After that, the second lot became a material. The small hall was in order again, and the bidders were much calmer and more relaxed. The auction was conducted slowly and slowly. Although there were some unsold items, most of the sales were pretty good. There was nothing we could do if there were unsold items. Not every item would happen to have someone interested.

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was a bit cold, the steward arranged for the delivery of magic tools, magic equipment, and elixirs. This swept away everyone's somewhat gloomy mood and their spirits were immediately lifted.

After bidding for five or six items, it was Chen Xiao's turn to bid for Zheng Ge. The starting price was five thousand spirit beads, and each bid increase must not be less than one hundred spirit beads.

This weapon was of excellent quality and was very rare in the Gengsheng Small Heaven Realm. The auction was very intense from the beginning. Soon the price was quickly pushed up to 8,000 spirit beads.

When the auction price increased to more than eight thousand, half of the people gave up. After a while, when the price rose to ten thousand spirit stones, only two or three people were left competing.

Chen Xiao, who had been sitting there without saying anything, started to bid, raising the price to 11,000 in one breath. He acted like he had no shortage of money, which shocked the other competitors. When one of them tried to raise the price by 200, Chen Xiao offered another 12,000.

The other competitors viewed the Zhengge as a temporary treasure for future generations. Chen Xiao's offer was beyond their bottom line, so they gave up the fight and finally Chen Xiao successfully won the bid.

The waitress came down with the tray, and seeing how young and handsome Chen Xiao was, her cheeks blushed, and she looked at him with eyes full of smiles. It was a pity that Chen Xiao was so focused on the tray that the blind man wasted his time to look at this pretty lady. Tong Nuonuo came over to look at Zhengge with Chen Xiao, and only Xi Yunting noticed the waitress's flirting.

The waitress didn't want to leave immediately, and wanted to find an opportunity to talk. She subconsciously felt her hair stand on end. She turned around and saw a man who looked as good as the sponsor sitting on the side, looking at her coldly with unfriendly eyes. The waitress was like being cast under an ice spell, and she was instantly frozen from heart to body. In the end, the waitress's face turned blue, and she staggered a little because she was scared.

Chen Xiao was watching Zheng Ge with great interest and didn't notice this scene at all. He successfully took the picture of the magic weapon he wanted, which made Tong Nuonuo eager to try it. He was the richest man in his life at this moment, and it was a rare opportunity that he didn't have to calculate how much he would spend.

When Tong Nuonuo was reading the booklet, he was interested in the two mechanisms above. Both of them were made by the master of mechanisms. If he could take a picture of them and study them, it would greatly improve his mechanism skills.

It's just that Tong Nuonuo was reluctant to spend money on other people's finished products, and wanted to keep the spirit beads to buy materials. Now he has come to his senses and should spend what he should spend, and not be too stingy at critical moments.

The two things that Tong Nuonuo liked were the ones that would appear as the finale. This mechanism had the ability to set up defenses, intercept, and even counterattack the opponent's magic attacks without the need for practitioners to operate it.

Hearing Tong Nuonuo's introduction in a low voice, Chen Xiao thought, isn't this a Xiuxian version of an interception and counterattack missile? It's also fully automatic and doesn't require manual operation!

Chen Xiao thought that Tong Nuonuo was the only mechanical engineer with such a wild imagination, but it turned out that the entire mechanical engineer profession was so awesome.

Such a sharp mechanism must be taken down. Not to mention using it, it is worth it just to improve Tong Nuonuo's knowledge and make him a master of mechanisms as soon as possible. Chen Xiao immediately supported Tong Nuonuo and even planned to borrow money to take down the mechanism if he didn't have enough money.
