Chapter 142 Black Fragments

Ling Changge's eyes were fixed on the black fragment in the maid's hand, and his hands subconsciously clenched. This was a subconscious action that only people would make when they wanted something very much but couldn't let others find out.

"What is this black thing?" A man in the hall looked at the black fragments on the tray and said puzzledly, "This doesn't look like a spiritual medicine or a divine artifact, so how can it be auctioned?"

"that is."

Everyone on the first floor felt a little resentful. After all, the three elixirs had nothing to do with them. They finally had something they could afford, but it seemed to be of no use.

Anyone would be unhappy if they were in that situation.

"Master Zhang, do you have nothing valuable to auction at your auction house? You actually brought out something so unpresentable."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter on the first floor.

Zhang Yan was not annoyed standing on the stage. In fact, even they didn't know what the black fragment was. However, they had tried many methods, but the black fragment did not change at all. That was why they took it to the auction.

"According to our observation, this item should be a material for refining a weapon." Zhang Yan stroked his beard and said softly, "Are there any weapon refiners here?"

"I am the weapon refiner." An old man in gray stood up, walked forward, stretched out a hand, and a faint purple halo in the palm of his hand enveloped the black fragments.

Everyone watched with bated breath, wanting to know what exactly it was. Half a while passed, and the black fragment didn't even change its shape.

The man withdrew his hand and sneered, "To be honest, this is probably just scrap metal. If you want to refine it, let it cultivate for a few hundred years. If it becomes refined, perhaps it can be used as material for refining."

Everyone laughed out loud when they heard this.

How could Zhang Yan not hear the sarcasm in these words?

"Master Zhang, please don't bring this thing out to embarrass yourself."

Zhang Yan's face looked a little ugly. If they took this thing away, they would be admitting that the black fragment was worthless. Such a big auction house couldn't even tell the good from the bad, and the reputation of their auction house would be ruined.

But if they didn't remove it, the fragment would obviously be unsold, and their auction house would become a laughing stock. But what if? Moreover, if it was really scrap metal, how could it not react at all when calcined?

Who knows, maybe someone will actually take a picture of it!

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and placed the black porcelain piece directly on the auction table.

"Although no one knows what this treasure is, we've tried many methods to change its shape but haven't been able to do anything. Perhaps it's actually a treasure. Starting price: 4,000 Spirit Coins!"

Four thousand spirit coins?

It's so cheap yet you still shamelessly call it a treasure?

It's obvious that they knew it was a piece of junk, so they offered such a low price.

Everyone looked at the things on the stage with disdain.

"Whoever buys it will be..." Before he could even utter the word "fool", a cold voice came from the private room on the third floor.

"Five thousand spirit coins."

Yo!

Ling family!

Judging from the voice, it should be the eldest daughter of the Ling family, Ling Changge!

The eldest daughter of the Ling family was actually interested in this fragment.

Everyone's eyes fell on the private room on the third floor.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this Miss Ling is really a good person!"

"Yeah, he was so worried that the Square Master would lose the audience on stage that he actually bought this useless scrap metal. Five thousand spirit coins isn't much, but it can buy a few low-level magic crystals!"

Even Zhang Yan looked at Ling Changge with gratitude.

Everyone in the auction hall thought that Ling Changge was trying to help Zhang Yan out, but only the Ling family knew that their eldest daughter really wanted to get this black thing. Since the auction started, this was the first time they saw such a serious and focused look on Ling Changge's face.

Seeing this, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "Would that little Ling Changge be so kind as to help Zhang Yan out?" From what he could see, Ling Changge was clearly interested in this black fragment.

He thought about it, and just as Zhang Yan was about to bring down the hammer, he whispered, "Ten thousand spirit coins."

Ling Changge raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

"Is the Lin family's Patriarch going to take revenge on Miss Ling?"

"I didn't expect Patriarch Lin to make such a low-level mistake. Ling Changge originally wanted to help Zhang Yan out of trouble, but now, Patriarch Lin is going to be the one to take the blame."

"I didn't expect that Patriarch Lin would also like this thing!" Ling Changge smiled. "What a coincidence! I also think this thing is interesting. If Patriarch Lin thinks he can compete with our Ling family, then go ahead and give it to us!" Ling Changge opened the door and walked out. He put his hands on the railing and looked down at Lin Feng. "One hundred thousand spirit coins."

Lin Feng looked at the smile on Ling Changge's lips, his eyelids twitched suddenly, and he felt like he was about to fall into the trap set by Ling Changge.

Seeing this, the Lin family's eldest elder said in a low voice: "Master, don't act on impulse. Ling Changge never plays by the rules. Who knows, maybe he wants to trick us now."

Lin Feng thought so too.

He said calmly, "A gentleman doesn't take away what others like. Since Miss Ling likes it, I won't continue to talk about bidding."

"Heh." Ling Changge couldn't help but sneer: "A gentleman certainly doesn't take away what others like, but it seems to me that Patriarch Lin isn't a gentleman!"

"you!"

"Master Lin, if you are not satisfied, it's okay to raise the price." Ling Changge waved his arm, as if to say that he would match whatever price you raise.

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and said nothing more. Just as the Great Elder said, Ling Changge might be up to some bad things.

Seeing this, everyone smiled secretly.

Seeing that he no longer raised the price, Ling Changge finally felt relieved.

When Ling Changge heard Zhang Yan say that the black fragment belonged to him, a victorious smile appeared on his face.

Tsk tsk tsk, it’s so hard to guard against!

The disciples of the Ling family looked at the changing expression on their eldest daughter's face and couldn't help but shook their heads.

Who can be her opponent?

Soon, a maid came in.

"Miss Ling."

"What's up?"

The maid put down the black fragments on the tray and said with a smile, "Miss Ling, our owner said that this porcelain piece is given to you without asking for any money."

Ling Changge smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Master Zhang."

The maid waved her hand, her eyes fell on Ling Changge, her thin lips slightly pursed, with a hint of shyness on her face.

Everyone in the Ling family looked at the maid with some confusion, and following her gaze, the only person in front of them was their eldest daughter.

Could it be that... she, she is in love with their eldest daughter?

How is this possible?

Their eldest daughter is really popular with both men and women!

Ling Changge noticed a burning gaze behind her. She slowly turned around and saw that the maid had not left yet.

"Anything else?"
