Ling Tian let out a sigh and lost interest. This Sky Blue Serene Sun was indeed a rare treasure in the world and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was priceless. However, in Ling Tian's heart, this was only a dazzling rock or perhaps a dazzling diamond. However, even if it was a diamond, it was still a rock. Why would Ling Tian be interested in such a flashy item? In Ling Tian's heart, this Sky Blue Dim Sun was not even comparable to a meat bun. At least a meat bun could satisfy his hunger. As for this Sky Blue Dim Sun, it had no other use other than attracting thieves! To think that Yang Wei treated it like a treasure. What he didn't know was that it was a pile of explosives. As for Ling Chen, she had been nurtured by Young Master Ling since she was young. Thus, she didn't really care about such an item.
"The fifth treasure is a fist-sized Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl!" Xiao YanXue smiled sweetly. It was obvious that this lass was satisfied with the Sky Blue Dim Sun being auctioned off for twelve million taels of silver. Her mood had become extremely good.
"I bid fifty taels!" Before Xiao YanXue could announce the starting price of the Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl, a calm voice had already sounded out. A green-robed man slowly stood up. With an expressionless face, he said, "I'm sorry, I only have fifty taels of silver on me. However, I must have this Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl. "
This person's appearance was too ordinary. He was neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. His face did not have the slightest characteristic that one could remember at a glance. He was the kind of person that would never be found in a crowd. However, upon closer inspection, this person's age was hard to estimate. He gave off a very strange feeling. Looking at his face, it was possible to say that he was 20 years old, 30 years old, or even 40 years old. There seemed to be a high possibility that he was 50 years old.
Ling Tian sucked in a breath of cold air! Ling Tian, who originally wanted to spend a large sum of money to bid for this Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl, immediately gave up on the idea. He had already recognized this person. This person was the mysterious green-robed man he had met on the first day of the scholarly meet at the entrance of Smoky Thea Tower. So he was here as well!
This kind of otherworldly expert actually wanted to obtain this Southern Seas Sandalwood Pearl! He must have his reasons. Moreover, he had already shown his determination to win. Ling Tian had already predicted that no matter who won the bid for this South Sea Red Sandalwood Pearl, they would most likely not be able to keep it. Because what the blue-clothed man said now was equivalent to informing him in advance. He only had 50 taels of silver on him, but he wanted this priceless Southern Sea Red Sandalwood Pearl. Other than robbing, it seemed that this fellow had no other choice.
How could Ling Tian be so foolish as to attract this fiend by bidding for the Red Sandalwood Pearl? So he didn't say a word.
"Hahaha … Where did this pauper come from? He actually wanted to buy the Southern Sea Red Sandalwood Pearl for 50 taels of silver? What are you dreaming about? " An overjoyed voice full of ridicule rang out, as if he found this matter very funny, "I offer one million taels!"
Ling Tian didn't even need to look or listen. He could guess with his knees that other than Yang Wei, that idiot, no one else could say something so offensive. He sighed in his heart. This guy is really the bane of the Yang Family! The bigger the trouble, the bigger the trouble. This guy, even this young master can't afford to offend him. Your Yang Family is really tired of living, to actually dare to ridicule me.
Xiao YanXue suddenly said coldly, "The starting price of the Southern Sea Red Sandalwood Pearl is 1.5 million taels! Young Master Yang, please be careful with your words. Every guest here is a distinguished guest of my Xiao family. Not just anyone can insult them. However … this guest, there are rules in the auction. If you are really embarrassed and need this item urgently, you should have mentioned it beforehand. At this moment, YanXue is powerless and can only apologize! "
The blue-clothed man seemed surprised as he looked at Xiao YanXue for a while. Then, he glanced at Yang Wei and nodded before sitting down silently. He actually didn't make a sound.
Ling Tian sighed in his heart. It was a pity that Xiao YanXue's eyesight wasn't good enough. If she had directly sold it to the blue-clothed man at the price of 50 taels, she would definitely have gained his good impression. To be able to gain the good impression of such a person was a once in a lifetime opportunity. What a pity!
He looked at Yang Wei with pity as he offered a wreath to the Yang Family's young master in his heart.
The matter with the blue-clothed man was like an insignificant interlude in the grand scheme of things. No one placed this ordinary person in their hearts. Qian ShuiRou immediately followed up with a bid of 2,000,000 taels. DongFang JingLei saw that Ling Tian didn't say anything else and joined the bidding with a bid of 3,000,000 taels.
Ling Tian looked at Qian ShuiRou and smiled thoughtfully. This lass is really someone who knows what's good for her. As long as this young master has his eyes on something, this lass will definitely have a hand in it. Just this ability of hers is enough to make Ling Tian look at her in a new light.
As the price rose higher and higher, the Yang Family had already backed out. Only DongFang JingLei and Qian ShuiRou were left. Ling Tian looked on coldly from the side and knew that the two of them knew the true value of the Southern Seas Red Sandalwood Pearl. Thus, neither of them was willing to let it go. After all, having this item was equivalent to having another life-saving talisman. Furthermore, it was a life-saving talisman that could be used repeatedly. Curing chronic illnesses, curing incurable illnesses, treating internal injuries, this Southern Seas Red Sandalwood Pearl had countless uses.
However, how would the two of them know that this life-saving talisman that they were fighting over had already become a life-threatening talisman! No matter who obtained it, it was equivalent to having one foot in the palace of the King of Hell! How could a peerless expert that stood at the peak of martial arts be easy to deal with?
Ever since the blue-clothed man said that sentence, the Southern Seas Red Sandalwood Pearl had become a life-threatening talisman in Ling Tian's eyes. Seeing Qian ShuiRou and DongFang JingLei excitedly raising the price to 15,000,000 taels of silver, Ling Tian shook his head and let out a long sigh.
Finally, Qian ShuiRou obtained the Southern Seas Red Sandalwood Pearl with a sky-high price of 18 million taels. She finally let out a long sigh of relief. A smile appeared on her face. Ling Tian shook his head. 18 million taels of silver was used to buy a life-threatening King of Hell. Was it really worth being happy about?
"The sixth treasure is a piece of black iron weighing 175 jin." Xiao YanXue smiled like a flower. "The starting bid is 1 million taels of silver. Everyone knows that black iron is the most precious treasure among weapons. As long as you add a few taels of it to a sword, it can instantly transform into a divine weapon that can slice through iron like mud. "
The moment Xiao YanXue finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. No one actually made a bid! The situation became extremely strange.
Everyone knew that the black iron was a good item. Xiao YanXue's words were not exaggerated in the slightest. Even so, everyone knew that there was no way to melt the black iron. The smelting method had been lost for hundreds of years, so how could it be used to forge a divine weapon? Since it could not be used, why would they spend 1 million taels of silver to buy a useless piece of black iron? Was it to be used as a pillow?
After a long while, everyone remained silent. Xiao YanXue's face revealed an anxious expression. As the host of the auction, if an item was not sold, it would be a huge blow to his reputation and he would become a laughingstock. He had taken out an item that he viewed as a treasure, but no one made a bid! This was simply a joke.
Xiao YanXue's gaze landed on Ling Tian. He was extremely clear that the existence of the black iron was to test Ling Tian. However, he saw Ling Tian peel a grape and place it into Ling Chen's mouth affectionately. He did not even look in Xiao YanXue's direction. It was obvious that young noble Ling did not have the slightest bit of interest in the black iron.
Xiao YanXue's heart sank to the bottom. This was too embarrassing! He could not help but blame his grandfather, Xiao FengHan. Why did he have to bring this thing to Sky Bearing for no reason? How would Ling Tian have the ability to do so? Now, he had become a laughing stock.
He let out a long sigh. Seeing that no one made a bid, just as he was about to announce that the item was not sold, a gentle voice sounded out, "How can such a good item be so cheap? This lowly concubine bids 1,100,000 taels of silver."
Xiao YanXue heaved a sigh of relief, as though a huge rock had been lifted off his chest. Finally, someone made a bid.
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and were all surprised. The person who spoke was a beautiful middle-aged woman. She was graceful and graceful, and her charm was still lingering. She was the Tower Head of the Smoky Thea Tower, Gu XiYan. She then said with a light smile, "What a coincidence, the Smoky Thea Tower is lacking a treasure. Little sister Xiao has sent this black iron over. I really have to thank little sister for it. This lowly concubine's wealth is meager and it is difficult for me to enter the hall of elegance. I hope that all of you will give this lowly concubine some face and not participate in the bidding. This lowly concubine thanks all of you! "
Xiao YanXue looked at her with gratitude. At this moment, her heart was filled with agitation. Gu XiYan was only the boss of a restaurant. What use would she have for this black iron? However, she actually did not hesitate to spend 1,000,000 taels of silver to help her out of this predicament. She could not help but be touched in her heart. She could not help but wish that she could just give this black iron to her for free. As the boss of a restaurant, her words were smooth and slick. Not only did she give Xiao family face, she also gave everyone present face. She was truly outstanding!
"The final treasure has a base price of one tael of silver. Furthermore, there is no additional bid." Seeing Gu XiYan send someone to carry the black iron down the stage, Xiao YanXue's expression changed. Xiao YanXue smiled and said something that caused everyone to be taken aback.
"One tael of silver? There is no additional bid! What is that item? "Someone asked curiously.
As Ling Tian turned around, he immediately recognized that the person who spoke was the one who agreed with Xiao YanXue at the start. Ling Tian could not help but smirk as he thought, Just as I expected, it is indeed a fake!
Xiao YanXue smiled and said, "This treasure is the Heaven Splitter Sword. A thousand years ago, a martial arts grandmaster, a peerless expert, the sect leader of the number one sect in the Heavenly Sun Continent, Above Heavens, Yin Juekong! For a thousand years, there has always been a legend in the three continents. It is said that within this Heaven Splitter Sword, there is an earth-shattering secret! Whoever can obtain the Heaven Splitter Sword and comprehend this secret will have the chance to become the ruler of the world! "
With a loud bang, everyone was shaken by this news until they were dizzy! Many people even stood up from their seats with a jerk!
Heaven Splitter Sword! It was actually the birth of the Heaven Splitter Sword!
