Chapter 49: The Damaged Magical Instrument of Sky-High Price

After sending Yun Ran back, Yun Su went directly to Bi Bo Lake to practice. This time he prepared some things and set up a small spirit gathering array near himself.

When it got dark, the practicing Yun Su opened his eyes, collected the spirit gathering talismans around him, and left the Bi Bo Lake.

When he arrived at the gate of Jinxiu Villa, Anran's car had been waiting for a long time.

"Master." An Ran stepped forward and said respectfully.

Yun Su responded, and the two got into the car at the same time. When An Ran saw Yun Su sitting down, she started the car immediately.

Seeing that An Ran was the only one here, Yun Su asked in confusion, "Why are you the only one here?"

"Grandpa and Dad have already gone to Wanbao Pavilion. This time, all the important people in Canglan City will come to Wanbao Pavilion's auction. Even people from other cities will come. Grandpa was afraid that the box reserved for us would not be in a good position, so he went to see it in person."

"People from other cities are coming too?" Yun Su was a little surprised. Although there were magical weapons at this auction, it wouldn't be enough to attract big shots from other cities to come!

Yun Su obviously knew too little about the martial arts world in today's society, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised.

You know, although there are still alchemists and weapon refiners nowadays, these weapon refiners can only refine one or two magic weapons a year, no more than three at most, and they are all of the lowest level.

But even so, the market for magic weapons is sluggish, and there are very few magic weapons in the hands of warriors. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them, not to mention that there is no channel at all.

In the whole of Da Xia, there are only eight people who can be called weapon refining masters. Five of them are all in Yanjing, and the other two have also joined some powerful forces. As for the last one, no one knows where he is.

"Master, you don't know that magic weapons, let alone in Da Xia, will be fought over by all forces even if they are placed in the whole world." An Ran narrowed his eyes slightly.

Yun Su didn't say anything, waiting for An Ran to continue.

"There are no more than thirty weapon refining masters in the world combined, and we have eight of them in Daxia. Each of them is almost a national treasure." The car stopped slowly, looking at the red light ahead safely.

"There are many weapon refiners, but only a few can successfully refine magical weapons. Even though we have eight weapon refiners in Daxia, each of them can only refine three magical weapons a year at most, and this does not include the defective products from failed refinements."

"It's not like there haven't been magical weapons in Wanbao Pavilion before. That time, even people from the three major families in Yanjing came. Grandpa almost emptied the entire An family's working capital in order to bid for that magical weapon. If it weren't for the Lin family helping the An family afterwards, the An family would have disappeared in Canglan City."

There was a flash of shock in Yun Su's eyes. A magical weapon could actually drain the entire An family's working capital. This was such a terrifying number.

You know, the An family has been operating in Canglan City for more than 40 years, and you can imagine the foundation that An Zhenguo has laid.

The red light went out and the green light came on. Anran restarted the car and drove towards Wanbaoge.

"How much did that magic weapon sell for?" Yun Su asked.

"1.8 billion."

This time, Yun Su really couldn't help but take a breath, this price was really astronomical!

An Ran exhaled, "Moreover, the magic weapon is not complete, but even so, those people are all vying for it. Master, do you know why?"

Yun Su frowned, "Someone wants a broken magic weapon?" He didn't quite understand.

"Could it be that this magical weapon is very powerful, or has other functions?"

An Ran shook her head and said, "No, it's just an ordinary defensive magic weapon. The main reason is that there are too few magic weapons. There are almost no magic weapons that can flow into the hands of small forces like us. So when a magic weapon appears, we will do everything we can to get it for the sake of our family."

"You mean, most of the magical weapons in the country have fallen into the hands of those top forces?" Yun Su frowned.

"Yes, in Daxia, besides the three major families of Yanjing, there are five top forces and some hidden sects. Among the eight weapon refining masters, only the Jiang family has one among the three major families of Yanjing, while the other two families do not have one.

Wanbao Pavilion, Dark Web, and Martial Arts Association each have one representative. Master should now know that the Martial Arts Association actually represents the Daxia official, but even the Daxia official only has one weapon refining master.

The remaining three are all from those hidden sects. Master, do you still think it’s strange that a magic weapon is auctioned at such a price? "

The smile on Yun Su's lips remained unchanged, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes. No wonder a broken magic weapon could be sold at such a high price.

It turned out that the market was monopolized by these top forces. He said that even if there were only eight weapon-refining masters in the country, a magic weapon would not be auctioned at such a price.

If this happened in Cangyuan Continent, not to mention low-level magic tools, as long as you find the materials, you can even refine high-level magic tools.

"You only mentioned seven just now, and there is one more!" Yun Su was a little surprised.

An Ran said with regret, "The last one is missing."

"Missing?" This made Yun Su even more puzzled. Since the Da Xia government attached so much importance to the weapon refining master, it was impossible for them to give up such a weapon refining master.

"Well, so many years have passed, maybe he has died a long time ago. I heard about what happened back then from my grandfather. It seemed that the weapon refining master fell in love with a woman, but the woman's family disagreed, so the two of them were forced to leave. Later, they were hunted down by the woman's family, and the two committed suicide for love." An Ran's expression was full of regret, and at the same time, envy.

Yun Su was puzzled. "With that man's status as a weapon refining master, there are actually families that would reject such a son-in-law?"

"I don't know about that. Grandpa just said it casually at that time, and I just treated it as a story. If Master hadn't suddenly asked me about refining the weapon today, I wouldn't have remembered it." An Ran shook her head. It was obvious that she didn't understand this matter either.

"Master, we're here." An Ran spoke again.

Yun Su glanced outside and saw the gate of Wanbao Pavilion. Half an hour had passed without him noticing.

After Yun Su got out of the car, An Ran lowered the window and said, "Master, you go in first. I'll come find you after I park the car."

"Okay." Yun Su responded and turned to enter Wanbao Pavilion.

Wanbao Pavilion is located in the center of Canglan City. On weekdays, it does some high-end jewelry business. During the auction, the entire Wanbao Pavilion will stop operating, and every entrance and exit will be strictly guarded.

No one can enter unless they have an invitation letter.

Yun Su was dressed casually and was stopped by security guards as soon as he arrived at the gate of Wanbao Pavilion.

"Go away, this is not a place for students."

The security guard glanced at Yun Su, a hint of disdain flashed across his eyes, as if he was chasing away a fly, and his tone was impatient.

Yun Su's eyes turned slightly cold, he pushed his eyes with two fingers, the smile on the corners of his mouth widened, and just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by a sharp female voice.

"It's you!"
