"Welcome all Taoists to Xiling City. I am Wu Yuanfang, the president of Xiling Chamber of Commerce. Today's weapon appraisal conference will be hosted by me." A short and fat middle-aged man walked up to the auction platform, raised his hand to bow, and said to everyone with a smile on his face.
The hall immediately became quiet. Looking at Wu Yuanfang, many people showed awe or fear in their eyes.
Although the president of Xiling Chamber of Commerce is not good-looking and his smile is more mercenary than that of street vendors, as long as you know a little about Xiling Chamber of Commerce, you will know that his strength is unfathomable.
More than ten years ago, two foreign demon cultivators relied on their peak Nascent Soul cultivation and did not take Xiling Chamber of Commerce seriously. They fought at the auction and were kicked out of the door by Wu Yuanfang.
Because the action was too fast, no one present could see his strength. It is only known that the two demon cultivators were seriously injured. They lay for a long time and vomited countless blood before they climbed out of Xiling City with difficulty.
Wu Yuanfang, however, continued to host the auction with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
From then on, no one dared to cause trouble in the Xiling Chamber of Commerce. Even the two largest magic cultivation families in Xiling City, the Feng Family and the Tian Family, were polite to the president and did not dare to offend him in the slightest.
"Before the meeting begins, I would like to introduce two distinguished guests to you. Please welcome Master Jiang." Wu Yuanfang gestured to the VIP room next to him.
An old man with a thin figure and white hair and beard nodded slightly and walked into the hall.
"This Master Jiang is a guest invited by the Feng family. I don't think I need to introduce his background." Wu Yuanfang said.
Indeed, he did not need to explain, because as soon as the old man appeared, many people in the hall exclaimed.
This Master Jiang's name is Jiang Heguang. He is the most powerful weapon refiner in the Xiling City area. He is quite famous in the entire Tiancang Continent. Even Dongyi City, Fanghao City and other places can hear his name.
Unexpectedly, the Feng family actually invited Master Jiang. It is said that this person is arrogant and has a strange temper. In order to invite him to come out, the Feng family has no idea how much money they have spent.
It seems that the Feng family is determined to win this weapon appraisal conference. Everyone thought secretly.
"Next, let's invite Master Hong Changyuan. Master Hong is a guest invited by the Tian family. He was originally a disciple of the Ziyun Sect, but now he has set up his own sect. I think everyone should have heard of his name, so I won't say much." Wu Yuanfang made a gesture of invitation to another VIP room opposite, and another old man walked into the hall.
This time, the reaction of the crowd was much smaller.
Although Hong Changyuan is also a little famous, he is far inferior to Jiang Heguang.
Seeing that the weapon refiner invited by the Tian family is Hong Changyuan, Feng Chengzu and other Feng family members are relieved.
It is said that the Tian family has joined a powerful demon cultivation family. What they are most worried about is that the demon cultivation family will send people to help. Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen.
Although the Tian family will be able to greatly improve their strength with the help of the demon family, at least the Feng family still has the upper hand in this weapon appraisal conference. As
long as they win this conference, the Feng family will have a chance to breathe. At that time, as long as they ask Master Gu and the Long family's great elders for help, there is no need to be afraid of the Tian family.
"I declare that this weapon appraisal conference begins." When the two weapon refiners walked into the hall, Wu Yuanfang announced loudly.
Then, the first magic weapon that needed to be appraised was brought to the auction table by the maid.
This magic weapon is about half a foot high and shaped like an ancient bell. It is scarred from top to bottom, and the runes engraved on it have long been incomplete.
"Please invite the two masters to come on stage to observe. Others can also come on stage if they are willing." Wu Yuanfang said.
Master Jiang and Master Hong took the lead and walked onto the auction stage at the same time to observe carefully.
There were also many weapon refiners or elders from the family who thought they had extraordinary eyesight in the audience who were eager to try, but after hesitating for a while, they gave up the idea of going on stage.
Master Hong is fine, but Master Jiang is a famous weapon refiner. With him around, how could they dare to show off their skills?
Gu Qingxi stood in the audience and also focused her eyes on the magic weapon on the stage.
Soon, she was in a state of confusion: Just this, just this... I thought there would be a lot of magic weapons left by a powerful person at the weapon appraisal conference in Xiling City. She was still wondering if she would encounter a magic weapon left behind by a powerful person. Even if there was no magic weapon, it would be good to encounter a semi-magic weapon.
Who knew that the magic weapon that Xiling Chamber of Commerce took out for appraisal was actually this kind of stuff.
On the stage, Master Jiang and Master Hong were still leaning over to observe carefully, but Gu Qingxi was not interested in even taking another look.
The two weapon refiners looked at it for a quarter of an hour before they finally straightened up.
"Masters, have you found out the result?" Wu Yuanfang asked.
"This... I am not very good at learning, so I am sorry to make you laugh." Master Hong wiped his forehead and said ashamedly.
Master Jiang, on the other hand, looked solemn and did not speak.
"What about Master Jiang? Did he come up with an appraisal result?" Wu Yuanfang asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Soul-Destroying Bell left by Senior Yang Rushan." Master Jiang pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.
"Senior Yang Rushan!"
"Soul-Destroying Bell!" Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Yang Rushan was also a famous ancient warrior. Although he was not as good as the Ten Heavenly Lords, he was not far behind. The Soul-Destroying Bell was his protective magic weapon. It was said that it was made by a master of the Artifact Dao at that time in three years.
The Appraisal Conference has been held for so many years, and the strongest magic weapon that has appeared is only a heavenly grade. This is the first time that a semi-artifact has appeared!
"It's actually the Soul-Destroying Bell, it's the Soul-Destroying Bell." A middle-aged man said ecstatically, his voice trembling.
Obviously, this Soul-Destroying Bell belongs to him - at least it still belongs to him now.
Although the Xiling Chamber of Commerce has some strength, it is impossible for it to produce so many ancient magic weapons, so many magic weapons are commissioned to be appraised.
However, after the appraisal, it will be auctioned. Unless it fails to sell, the magic weapon will no longer have anything to do with the original owner.
"I'll offer three million spirit stones." Before Wu Yuanfang announced the start of the auction, an old man shouted excitedly .
"Three and a half million." Another old man followed closely.
"Four million."
"Five million."
"..."
"Ten million."
The hall was boiling, and the heads and elders of the famous families shouted excitedly.
However, the most excited people were not them, but the Feng family headed by Feng Chengzu.
As expected of Master Jiang, he has already identified a semi-divine artifact in the first round. As long as nothing unexpected happens, the Feng family will surely win this appraisal meeting.
Although the Feng family spent five million spirit stones to invite Master Jiang, it now seems that the money was well spent, worth it!
"Wait a minute, everyone. Although Master Jiang has identified the Soul-Destroying Bell, we don't know how damaged this artifact is, whether it can still be used for sacrifice, and whether it can be repaired?" Wu Yuanfang spoke again, signaling everyone to stay calm.
