Sun Ji and Yang Long, who were feeling humiliated from the earlier incident and were about to leave to set up an ambush for Zu An to take revenge, stopped in their tracks upon hearing this.
"What's wrong, Elder Yang?" Sun Ji asked curiously, noticing Yang Long's unusual behavior.
"The legendary Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife..." Yang Long was somewhat excited. He didn't have time to respond to Sun Ji's words, but instead stared at the box in the hands of the beautiful host in the center of the venue, his beard trembling slightly.
Zuan was also taken aback. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife?
Shi Kun had wanted to use this to cripple himself back in the Eastern Palace, but it was confiscated by Shi Kun. I never expected to hear about it here again.
If I remember correctly, I got four from Shi Kun back then, right?
At this moment, the fat Venerable One had already flown back to the corner of the central stage. Obviously, because of the preciousness of the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, and the events that had just occurred, he needed to stand in the center of the stage to deter those with ill intentions.
However, some of the people who came to Xiaoyao Tower were quite knowledgeable: "A flying knife that can even cut down immortals? How could such a thing exist in the world? And if such a thing really existed, why would Xiaoyao Tower be willing to put it out for sale?"
At this moment, the beautiful host also came to her senses and began to explain with a sweet smile: "This guest is right. The Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife has always been a legend. It is said that it can even kill immortals. However, our Xiaoyao Tower has indeed found one through reliable channels. As for everyone's doubts, we can also answer them. Because there are nine complete Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives, only after the nine are combined into one can it regain its legendary power. The one being auctioned today is only one of them."
As he spoke, he took an exquisite sandalwood box from the tray held by his attendant. With his slender fingers, he gently pushed the box open, revealing a small throwing knife.
This throwing knife wasn't much different from ordinary throwing knives; in fact, the blade didn't have that gleaming, cold look, as if it hadn't been sharpened.
"It looks pretty ordinary," someone complained, and many others immediately agreed, clearly expressing their skepticism about the product.
The beautiful host explained, "Although this throwing knife is incomplete and cannot unleash its full legendary power, it still has special properties. It can cause great damage to a person's soul, and without the treatment of some rare spiritual medicine, it may be impossible to recover for the rest of one's life."
Previously, Zuan had paid attention to the mysterious man in black robes and snorted: "Even if an ordinary person gets this item, they can't harm a Grandmaster. As for Grandmasters, they have their own methods to deal with the soul. This thing is completely useless."
His reminder made the attendees, who had initially been somewhat interested, nod in agreement. Indeed, while the product looked appealing, it might not actually be useful.
As for collecting all nine Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives, that's even more pointless. Has anyone ever managed to collect them all in the past thousand years?
It's rare to see even one on a normal day, let alone nine.
Seeing that public opinion was turning against the sale, the beautiful host became a little anxious. However, having been chosen for this position, her own abilities were also extraordinary. She immediately said, "This flying sword can also be used to deal with cultivators below the Grandmaster level. Although ordinary cultivators have not yet condensed their divine soul, their cultivation is closely related to their spiritual power. If they are injured by this sword, their cultivation path will probably be completely cut off, and they will never be able to make any further progress in their lives."
Zuan had to admire this woman's insight, but her intentions were far too malicious. Wasn't she blatantly telling everyone present that she could use this thing to assassinate certain enemies and cut off their path to promotion?
As expected, the guests at the venue all started breathing heavily after hearing this.
"I'll offer two hundred thousand taels of silver for this throwing knife," one man said, unable to contain himself any longer.
Zuan noticed that the badges they held were made of iron, indicating they were likely ordinary members of Xiaoyao Tower.
It's surprising that even the most ordinary member can casually ask for 200,000 taels of silver, which shows just how powerful Xiaoyao Tower is.
At this moment, the beautiful host smiled slightly: "Please forgive me, sir, but the starting bid for this throwing knife is 500,000 taels, and each bid must be at least 10,000 taels higher."
Upon hearing this, the audience burst into laughter, and the guest who had spoken earlier sat back down, his face flushed.
Zuan frowned. He already had four Immortal-Slaying Flying Knives, so this flying knife was definitely more meaningful to him than to others.
But the starting bid alone is 500,000 taels, and who knows how much the final price will be.
He had won several million taels of silver at the Silver Hook Gambling House, but unfortunately it was just a number and he couldn't get it back. In the end, he did a favor and handed it over to the Bright Moon Academy led by Jiang Luofu.
Tsk tsk, Jiang Luofu accepted such a large dowry from me. If she dares to marry someone else in the future, I'll be furious with her!
Speaking of which, I won about a million taels of silver at the Zheng family's gambling den back then, and they still owe me several hundred thousand taels.
Forget it, Dandan has already paid for it with her body. We're family, so let's not be so formal.
So he earned 650,000 taels of silver in Bright Moon City. Unfortunately, he spent a lot of money using the "Approaching the World with a Billion" skill three times and buying various medicinal materials for alchemy. Speaking of which, the "Approaching the World with a Billion" skill is really a trap. It didn't have much effect every time he used it. He will definitely not use it again in the future. Bah!
The capital city has received considerable rewards for meritorious service and titles, and with what was left over, there should be around 400,000 taels left.
My wife Linglong is so considerate; she often gives me gifts from the palace whenever she feels like it.
Hmm, I should also make more of an effort to visit the Empress after returning to the capital. It would be a shame to let such a wealthy woman go to waste. I've worked so hard before, I can't let her take advantage of me for free.
