This treasure is an unparalleled silver spear. Unlike the dagger that imitated the divine weapon Xuanmang, this silver spear is a genuine divine weapon.
This silver spear was once used by the God of War of the Eastern Yue Kingdom. According to legend, when it was in the hands of that God of War, it could kill people without drawing blood.
Therefore, later generations also have legends that it was because this divine weapon possessed a spirit, and because it had a powerful war god as its master, that it could be used so skillfully.
Faced with such a legendary treasure, Li Chang'an couldn't help but feel a little tempted. She stared intently at the silver spear standing quietly on the platform, thinking that if the price was right, she might consider participating in the auction.
However, since it was the final treasure, the starting price was bound to be high. Sure enough, the starting price for this silver spear was one thousand taels of silver.
However, this price was within Li Chang'an's expectations. So she was the first to bid 1,050 taels of silver.
At the same time, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but turn his head to look at the woman beside him who was staring intently at the silver spear on the stage.
Beneath the black veil on his conical hat, a smile gradually welled up in his dark, bright eyes.
"One thousand and fifty taels once! One thousand and fifty taels twice!"
Originally, Li Chang'an was prepared to spend a lot of money on this silver spear, but she did not expect that even after the master of ceremonies had called out the price twice, no one had raised the price again.
Actually, this is not a very strange thing. Besides the fact that the silver spear was originally priced very high, the bigger reason is that weapons are not very meaningful for most people present.
Especially for relatively uncommon weapons like this silver spear, it is not as common as knives or swords, nor is it as versatile as the dagger from before, which can be used not only for self-defense but also as a collectible.
Therefore, even though it is a powerful divine weapon, it is not as sought after as the previous auction items.
At this moment, almost everyone present felt that the silver spear would likely be acquired by the first bidder for 1,050 taels of silver.
Even Li Chang'an herself felt this way. Besides being caught off guard, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She wished she hadn't added fifty taels of silver at once during the bidding.
Since no one else is interested in this item, she can easily get her hands on the silver spear for 1,010 taels of silver.
"One thousand and fifty taels..."
At this point, the master of ceremonies called out the third bid.
Just as the gavel was about to fall, another voice suddenly broke through the air in the auction hall.
“One thousand one hundred taels.”
Everyone immediately turned to look at the person who made the offer.
However, after scanning the entire auction hall, they still couldn't find the person who had just made the bid.
At this moment, their ability to locate the sound by ear seemed to fail, so some people couldn't help but start whispering among themselves, even doubting whether the bid they had just heard was their imagination.
However, it is possible for an individual to have a misconception, but it is unlikely for a group of people to have a misconception at the same time.
"Heh, it seems there's someone in this auction house who's hiding their true abilities..."
At this moment, Tao Yaojun, who had been joining in the fun, suddenly muttered something to herself with a half-smile.
Li Chang'an's face was also very solemn. She naturally understood what Tao Yaojun meant and why everyone could only hear the voices of those bidding, but could not locate the person by the voice.
Because the other party used their internal energy to cover up the source of the sound.
Those who can reach this level are not ordinary martial artists; at the very least, their internal strength has reached the middle to upper level.
It's no wonder that the other party would also take a liking to this silver spear.
After all, as fellow martial artists, how could they not love divine weapons?
It seems I've truly met my match this time.
"Chang'an, should we..."
At this moment, Feng Beichuan suddenly turned to look at the woman beside him who was deep in thought and spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Li Chang'an raise the bidding paddle in his hand and announce the bidding price of 1,150 taels of silver.
Seeing the woman's determined expression, Feng Beichuan couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.
Actually, he had just wanted to ask if the other party wanted to continue bidding, because it was rare to see Li Chang'an so interested in any auction item, so Feng Beichuan felt that he should naturally lend her a hand.
"One thousand one hundred and fifty taels once! One thousand one hundred and fifty taels twice! One hundred..."
The master of ceremonies continued to call up the price, his voice becoming exceptionally loud, as 1,150 taels was the highest price ever paid for any item in the auction so far.
As the final result was about to be announced, everyone genuinely believed that no one would bid higher, and they couldn't help but feel a little regretful that they hadn't seen the two bidders compete.
At this moment, Li Chang'an breathed a sigh of relief. She could actually accept the price of 1,150 taels, mainly because the silver spear was a very rare treasure.
Thinking this, she couldn't help but feel a little excited, but the next second a voice came from the silent hall.
"One thousand two hundred taels."
The entire venue erupted in an uproar. Everyone craned their necks, looking left and right, trying to find the mysterious bidder. But as expected, finding this person in a venue of less than a hundred people was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Li Chang'an's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The second time!
This is the second time!
Feng Beichuan, who was standing to the side, seemed to sense the woman's displeasure as well, and his expression immediately darkened.
Going against Li Chang'an is tantamount to going against yourself!
So Feng Beichuan didn't hesitate to reach out and pick up the bidding paddle, ready to join the auction.
Unexpectedly, Li Chang'an raised the price to 1,300 taels of silver before he could.
This time, the same situation occurred as the previous two times. Just as the master of ceremonies was about to call out the price for the third time, that mysterious voice came out again in the hall and directly gave a price of 1,400 taels of silver.
At this moment, Li Chang'an felt a surge of anger, not because she was unhappy about having a competitor, but because this person's behavior made her feel very uncomfortable.
