“Although Qingyun Tower does not have that much say in Sifang City, it is one of the second-tier towers after all, so it should still be respected.”
Wang Pingbei explained.
"So, there must be a place for them in the No. 1 private room."
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, looked at the people from Qingyun Tower, and walked into the Tianzihao private room.
He focused on the white-haired old man. Anyone who could make Wang Pingbei lose his composure must be extraordinary.
No matter what, if Wang Pingbei doesn’t say anything, he won’t ask any more questions.
On the auction stage, Li Xiunian smiled and spoke politely...
Xiao Chen noticed that his polite words were obviously more numerous than those in the morning, and seemed more sincere.
No matter how much you think about it, you will know that the big guys all come in the afternoon... There may not be many people who come in the morning who can catch Li Xiunian's eye.
"It feels like the auction only starts in the afternoon... In the morning, it's just a warm-up."
Xiao Chen muttered.
Wang Pingbei next to him was distracted, and no one knew what he was thinking about.
Xiao Chen looked at him, then glanced towards the "No. 1 Private Room" in Qingyun Tower. He wanted to send out his spiritual sense and go over to find out what was going on.
However, he held back again.
It would be bad if we were discovered.
At this time, the box where he was located had not been swept by divine sense, and perhaps the box in Qingyun Tower had not been swept by divine sense either.
By that time, his spiritual consciousness would have passed and he would be easily targeted.
After Li Xiunian finished speaking, the auctioneer from this morning, the old man, came on stage again.
After a few pleasantries, he started the afternoon auction without much nonsense.
"Now, onto the first lot."
The old man raised his voice.
As the old man finished speaking, a young man in tight clothes came up holding a knife.
Xiao Chen looked at the knife and sat up straight.
Isn't this his 'Heaven-Slaying Sword'?
Of course, the name 'Heaven-Slaying Sword' was just something he came up with casually.
"Beizi, we are going to get rich."
Xiao Chen smiled. This magical weapon should be able to fetch a high price.
"Ah? Brother Chen, what did you say?"
Wang Pingbei came to his senses.
"I said we are going to get rich. Look, the Heaven-Slaying Sword."
Xiao Chen pointed at the knife below and said.
"Heaven-Slaying Sword...mmmm."
Wang Pingbei nodded and glanced at the box where Qingyun Tower was located, trying his best to avoid it and not show its face.
"The first lot is a magical weapon..."
The old man picked up the Heaven-Slaying Sword and introduced it.
"This sword is called 'Heaven-Slaying Sword'. Not many people may know about it, but it has a great history. It is said that it was owned by a powerful swordsman hundreds of years ago..."
The old man's words made everyone present interested in the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and many people began to discuss it in a low voice.
"Divine weapon?"
"Heaven-Slaying Blade...what a domineering name."
"The sword of a powerful swordsman? Which swordsman?"
"He didn't say, so I don't know. There are quite a few famous swordsmen in Tianwai Tian."
"Could it be the sword of some sword god?"
"It shouldn't be the case. Those who can be given the title of 'Sword God' are all extremely talented. Even if they are not the best in an era, they must at least defeat all the swordsmen in the world."
“…”
There was a lot of discussion, and it was obvious that the Heaven-Slaying Sword was very popular.
"???"
Xiao Chen was confused. Did the Heaven-Slaying Blade have a long history? Was it the weapon of a famous swordsman hundreds of years ago?
How come I don’t know?
Is this true or false?
Has the Longteng Chamber of Commerce figured out the origin of the Heaven-Slaying Sword?
Or...is this old guy making up a story?
He looked at the old man. The old man looked so serious that he had no doubt that he was making up a story.
"Damn, it can't be that it's really awesome, is it selling at a loss?"
Such thoughts could not help but arise in Xiao Chen's mind.
"Beizi, think about it carefully. Have you ever heard of the Heaven-Slaying Sword?"
"No."
Wang Pingbei shook his head.
"Isn't this a name you just made up?"
"Yeah, but look at this old guy...how serious he is? I almost believe him."
Xiao Chen looked strange.
"Well... maybe this is his ability. Without this ability, how can he make a living?"
Wang Pingbei smiled.
"The one who can host the auction of Longteng Chamber of Commerce is definitely not an ordinary character."
"Too."
Xiao Chen nodded. This old guy... is a good storyteller.
"Which swordsman is it?"
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask loudly.
"We have looked up historical records and Jianghu records. This swordsman roamed the Arctic, far away from us... So, not many people know about him. However, he killed countless strange beasts with his Heaven-Slaying Sword, making them terrified. He is notorious for his evil deeds."
The old man looked at the person who was speaking and said.
"This swordsman is named 'Zhan Tian', and he named this magic weapon after himself."
"Where is the North Pole?"
Xiao Chen turned around and asked again.
"The Arctic... the far north. It's very cold there, and there aren't many people."
Wang Pingbei replied.
"There are caves there, and there are many strange beasts."
"Good fellow... He also killed countless strange beasts, making them terrified. He has nothing to do with humans, and there is no way to verify whether what he said is true or not."
Xiao Chen was speechless, this was just an auction of his magic weapon, otherwise he would have called him a 'scoundrel'.
"As expected, this person must be able to tell stories. If he can tell stories, he will not be a bad person no matter where he lives."
"The Heaven-Slaying Sword... Regardless of whether what he said is true or not, this sword is pretty good."
Gongsun Zhen looked at the Heaven-Slaying Sword and said slowly.
"Ancestor, do you want it? I'll take it for you."
Gongsun Liang put on a smile and said.
"good."
Gongsun Zhen nodded, looked at the other top-level boxes, and withdrew his spiritual sense.
Their spiritual consciousness is also on the Heaven-Slaying Sword, so they should be interested in this sword as well.
But at an auction, the highest bidder wins.
…
"It's a pity that my Void Sword Sect only uses swords. If this is a sword, I will definitely take it into my pocket."
An old man said in the No. 1 private room where the Void Sword Sect is located.
"Haha, if we don't want it, they will probably all grab it...we'll just watch the fun."
An old man next to him stroked his gray beard and smiled.
"Um."
The old man nodded and withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
"Le Sheng, are you ready for tomorrow's battle?"
"Ancestor, as the pride of Sifang City, I cannot retreat. I must fight."
Zhou Lesheng bowed slightly and said seriously.
"You also taught me that a swordsman should be like a sword, sharp and unyielding, and would rather break than bend."
"Haha, okay."
The old man smiled with satisfaction.
…
“This knife is very good.”
Zhao Ritian looked at the Heaven-Slaying Sword and said slowly.
"Young Master, you are a weapon refiner, not a forger..."
Zhao Yuanji whispered.
"You know nothing... they are all connected, okay?"
Zhao Ritian was not happy.
"Just wait and see. These old guys will definitely try to snatch this magic weapon... Magical weapons are rare, so even they want to get it."
"It will be fun to watch if the old...old people take action."
Zhao Yuanji almost said "old guys", but changed his words when it was on his lips.
There is nothing else that Zhao Ritian dares to say, but he doesn’t dare.
If he told it, he would probably get beaten.
"Haha, the morning is just an appetizer... in the afternoon, it's time for the real shopping spree."
Zhao Ritian said this and looked at Zhao Cangqiong.
"Third brother, have you heard of the 'Heaven-Slaying Sword'? And what kind of swordsman is this?"
"No, but it doesn't matter. I'll take the picture of the knife."
Zhao Cangqiong shook his head and spoke slowly.
"I wonder if Brother Chen would be interested in this knife."
Zhao Ritian thought of something and looked at Xiao Chen.
He noticed that Xiao Chen had a smile on his face, and he couldn't help but feel moved. Did he like this knife?
But when I looked at it again, I felt something was not right... I seemed to have seen it in the morning?
"Xiao Ji, Brother Chen said this morning that he sent a photo of the magic weapon, right?"
Zhao Ritian thought of something and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, he also said that there are too many magic weapons to use."
Zhao Yuanji nodded, then his eyes widened.
"You don't mean, this Heaven-Slaying Sword..."
"It's possible."
Zhao Ritian nodded.
"Look at how Brother Chen looks now. Is he very happy? Does he look like you when you receive cultivation resources and pocket money every month?"
"Hmm... it really looks like him."
Zhao Yuanji took a look with a strange expression.
"It looks like there is some income."
"Haha, so... there's a high probability that this Heaven-Slaying Sword belongs to him."
Zhao Ritian smiled.
"Then... then do you want to tell grandpa about it?"
Zhao Yuanji lowered his voice.
"What did you say? What does it matter? At the auction, the highest bidder wins."
Zhao Ritian shook his head.
"We can just watch the fun... After all, your grandfather, my third brother, is not short of spiritual stones."
"Uh-huh."
Zhao Yuanji nodded.
"What are you two whispering about?"
Zhao Cangqiong asked.
"Nothing, Third Brother, we are discussing where to go after leaving Sifang City."
Zhao Ritian said casually.
"Yes, yes, I can't wait."
Zhao Yuanji said excitedly.
"Alas, the child has grown up and is no longer under the control of his father."
Zhao Cangqiong sighed and shook his head.
He knew that his grandson's heart had already flown away.
He wanted to stay, but he couldn't.
…
"Starting price: five thousand."
At the auction table, the old man had finished telling the story and stated the starting price.
"What? Five thousand?"
"Five thousand high-grade spirit stones?"
"Isn't this nonsense? Could it be of inferior quality?"
"Is this the value of a magic weapon? If I had one, I wouldn't have to struggle in my life."
"I can tell from the looks of it that you just spent a few spirit stones to get in..."
“Hmm…”
On the first floor, the discussions became even louder.
Most people were shocked by the sky-high price of 'Five Thousand Spiritual Stones'.
There were so many items auctioned this morning, but none of them were priced this high.
It can be seen that there is no comparison between the morning and the afternoon.
Not the same thing.
There were also a few people who were calm and composed. Although they did not go to the box, they were not short of spirit stones.
They... are the main force of the auction.
"Even at such a small auction, you can tell the difference between different classes..."
Xiao Chen looked down from above, feeling somewhat emotional.
"Brother Chen, what price do you think it can get?"
Wang Pingbei's condition was much better now, and he asked expectantly.
"Who knows, maybe it will exceed ten thousand."
Xiao Chen couldn't be sure either.
"Each bid must not be less than five hundred. You can bid now."
After the old man finished speaking, he swept his eyes across the entire place, pausing for a moment on the second floor.
In his opinion, the person who was qualified to take the knife was most likely in the box on the second floor.
