The auction had already begun. The first auction was for medicinal pills. Ming Xi was not interested in medicinal pills. His mother could cultivate high-grade medicinal pills now, and he did not lack them at all. What he was interested in was the Clear Swordsmanship.
It was a famous ancient sword. If he could buy it, he could give it to his uncle.
"There's almost no spiritual energy in the human world. Even if you bring it back, it's useless. It's just like a normal sword." Fire Phoenix said, "There are so many famous swords in the armory. There's no need to spend money here."
"If I bring it back, even if it's a normal sword, it would still be extraordinary in the human world." Ming Xi said. His eyes were still looking downstairs, but he wasn't looking at the auction stage. He was looking for the puppet.
He had left an imprint on that person. As long as that person controlled the puppet or appeared nearby, he would be able to sense it.
"Ming Xi …" Fire Phoenix called out to her Ming Xi in a low voice, her eyes looking at a man dressed in grey clothes beside the auction stage.
"If I'm not wrong, the other party should be here for me. Even if we don't look for him, he will come looking for me." Ming Xi glanced at the man. He wasn't the owner, but just a puppet.
He had already found five puppets in the auction.
Looking at their expressions, they shouldn't have been controlled for too long.
They had come prepared.
Not long after, the Clear Sable Sword was pushed out. The bids started from 1000 gold, and the highest bidder won.
"3000 gold." Ye Boshu was the first to speak. He immediately raised the price to 3000 gold.
"5000 gold." Ming Xi's young voice rang out.
Because it was a child's voice, and because the price had increased by 2000 gold, everyone raised their heads in surprise. They discovered that the voice came from the person sitting in the middle of the third floor. They couldn't help but whisper to each other about Ming Xi's identity.
Someone who could sit in that place definitely wasn't a simple person.
They couldn't see Ming Xi's appearance, so they could only guess.
"6000 gold." Ye Boshu frowned as he raised the price.
"8000." Ming Xi spoke again as he looked towards Ye Boshu.
"Which family's kid is this? Don't randomly raise the price. Otherwise, the family elders won't accept it." Someone said.
Ye Boshu said in a low voice, "It's better to compete openly."
"It's fine as long as I have gold coins. What are you worried about?" Ming Xi asked indifferently. Because his voice was still childish, it made people want to see his true face even more. "Could it be that because I'm a child, you want to deliberately make things difficult for me?"
"Ten thousand gold." Ye Boshu made another bid. He did not want others to think that he was inferior to a child.
"Fifteen thousand gold." Ming Xi smiled as he continued, "Plus two hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Ye Boshu's expression suddenly changed. Spirit Stones were hard to come by, and he had taken out two hundred Spirit Stones in one go. This child was actually so wasteful!
"Wow, 200 Superior Spirit Stones? Which family's kid is so generous? What a wastrel … "
"Although the Zhan Lu Sword is rare, without a certain level of cultivation, the Zhan Lu Sword is useless. How can a child carry it?"
Hearing the discussion below, Ming Xi tilted his head and asked Fire Phoenix, "Is 200 top-grade spirit stones a lot?"
"It doesn't matter. In any case, if you give the Gold Coins and Spirit Stones to the Auction House, they will give half of it to the City Lord." Fire Phoenix giggled.
What did giving it to Emperor Mo have to do with him? Although he had picked up the Spirit Stones and Gold Coins, he still felt that it was a loss to give them to Emperor Mo.
"Since no one else is bidding, then it's a deal." The youth on the auction stage knocked the hammer to confirm that the Zhan Lu Sword belonged to Ming Xi.
Ming Xi smiled. However, he did not plan to leave. He was waiting for that person to appear.
"Please give the Zhan Lu Sword to that customer." The youth on the auction stage said respectfully. He did not neglect Ming Xi just because he was a child.
Ye Boshu lowered his head and instructed Ye Wei, "Go and find out who it is."
"Yes, grandfather." Ye Wei nodded slightly and disappeared from the seat.
Two servants in green clothes carried the Zhan Lu Sword to the third floor. Ming Xi picked up the Zhan Lu Sword, ignoring the shock in the eyes of the two servants.
"Inject spiritual energy into the Zhan Lu Sword. Only then will the Zhan Lu Sword be useful." Fire Phoenix reminded him.
When Ming Xi heard Fire Phoenix's reminder, he injected a trace of spiritual energy into the Zhan Lu Sword. The originally dull bronze surface cracked, and silver light appeared. The Zhan Lu Sword finally revealed its true brilliance.
When the sword was formed, its brilliance pierced through the sky. The sun and moon competed with each other, the stars shone, and the ghosts and gods wailed.
As expected of a famous sword from ancient times.
Everyone in the auction house heard the sound of the sword.
"Good sword!" Fire Phoenix smiled.
The Zhan Lu Sword was not light, but Ming Xi could easily hold it in his hand. He pointed the sword at one of the servants. "It is indeed a good sword."
"Sir … Sir?" The servant's face paled.
Ming Xi slowly pointed the tip of the sword at the other servant.
Unlike the young man beside him, this servant's eyes were lifeless. It was as if he did not feel threatened by Ming Xi.
"If the puppet is here, then what about me?" Ming Xi smiled and handed the sword in his hand to Fire Phoenix. A golden light condensed on his fingertip.
"Sir, what are you trying to do?" The other servant hurriedly shouted.
He was just about to call for help when the puppet beside him grabbed him and threw him towards Ming Xi.
Ming Xi pushed that person away and grabbed the puppet. He sent the golden light from his fingertip into the puppet's forehead.
The puppet stretched out a hand to block Ming Xi, then suddenly jumped off the platform. "Save me, save me …"
"Wah! Murder! "
Everyone was stunned as they raised their heads to look at Ming Xi, who was standing on the platform.
The puppet was already lying on the ground, motionless.
Ming Xi frowned and looked at a corner on the first floor.
"So young and yet so vicious!" Ye Boshu shouted coldly.
It was a woman! Ming Xi looked at the woman standing in the corner. She held five small black flags in her hands and was waving them lightly.
Among the crowd, five men flew towards Ming Xi at the same time.
"Ming Xi, be careful." Fire Phoenix immediately came to Ming Xi's side.
The cultivation of these five people was stronger than the ones he had met before. Ming Xi's two small hands turned into golden fists and easily sent them flying.
Fire Phoenix did not even have a chance to attack.
"Do you think I can't find you by hiding in the corner?" Ming Xi handed the five puppets that attacked him again to Fire Phoenix and flew towards the woman in the corner.
The woman hiding in the corner was none other than Mute Mother. Her Sea of Qi had been severely injured by Ming Xi. She had decided to fight with all her might on this trip to Tianhao City.
"I've been waiting for a long time." A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of the mute lady's mouth. Her ghost cultivation had already reached the level of Ghost Sha, and she was the strongest opponent that Ming Xi had ever encountered. They were fighting in the auction house, and the people from the Xing Clan couldn't even intervene to stop them even if they wanted to.
"Who exactly are you?" Ming Xi used the fifth level of the technique and a golden light flashed across his skin.
Mute Mother spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted loudly, "Brat, you're a Fire Demon. You actually know the Fire Demon's technique!"
"Fire Demon's technique?" Ye Boshu was shocked.
Everyone looked at Ming Xi who was in midair.
