A real dragon was a legendary existence that could fight against real immortals. Its capabilities were unimaginable.
This was obvious from what was happening before them. It was merely a piece of scale that had been around for countless years. Yet it still exuded an unimaginable amount of pressure that made it hard for everyone to breathe. This alone was enough to prove just how dominating a real dragon was!
Other than its battling capabilities, every part of a real dragon was a treasure. Its blood was comparable to a spiritual medicine, its bones were known to be extremely hard, and its claws were indestructible.
As for the scale, it was also a rare treasure. Even if there was only one piece, it was worth a fortune. Not only was it a heavenly material used to make treasures, but the treasures made from this material would naturally carry with them the energy of a dragon that could subtly shock the enemy.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a shocking treasure? Even those of the original level would be tempted by it!
Therefore, everyone's breathing hastened, but nobody made a bid.
Because everyone knew very well that the only person here who had the right to own the dragon's scale was Ling Xian. Unless he didn't want it, nobody dared to make a bid.
"It really is a dragon's scale."
Staring at the dragon's scale that was vibrating, Ling Xian's eyes were heated and his heart was full of desire.
The value of the dragon's scale was extremely high. Even with his mentality, he couldn't help but be tempted. However, as much as he was tempted, he was also cautious.
Especially when he remembered that the Technique of the Physical Refinement and the Fire Taming Pearl had been tampered with, he became even more cautious.
The dragon's scale was a shocking treasure. The Mu Clan may choose to auction it, but they would never give it away to someone. The Mu Clan knew very well that if the dragon's scale appeared, then Ling Xian would choose it.
Despite this, the Mu Clan didn't change it. In other words, the dragon's scale was a trap. It was also certain that it was a trap even bigger than the Technique of the Physical Refinement and the Fire Taming Pearl!
After all, though the Technique of the Physical Refinement and the Fire Taming Pearl were extremely valuable, the Mu Clan couldn't be sure if Ling Xian would choose them. Therefore, the Mu Clan merely tampered with it a little and didn't set up too many traps.
This was something Ling Xian had confirmed just now. He realized that the traps on it weren't hard to solve. At most, they would cause him some trouble.
However, the Dragon Scale was different. This item was the most valuable treasure in the entire auction. Any cultivator would choose it. Therefore, one conclusion could be drawn. The trap on the Dragon's Scale was the biggest and it was specially prepared for Ling Xian.
Because the Mu Clan had calculated that even if Ling Xian ignored the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl, he would not let the Dragon Scale go!
"What a good Mu Clan. I knew that letting me choose three treasures wasn't a sincere apology, but a trap." Ling Xian softly grinned, "Pick the most valuable items out of all the auction items. Set a trap for me to pick."
"Out of all the items up for auction, the most valuable are the Art of Physical Refinement, the Fire Taming Pearl, and the Dragon Scale." Coldness swirled in Ling Xian's eyes, "Mu Clan, you are certain that I won't let go of these treasures."
One has to admit that the Mu Clan ancestor was truly a character.
First, he planted poison on the invitation in order to plot against Ling Xian. Then, he snuck up on Ling Xian. On the surface, he was showing goodwill, but behind his back, he set up a series of traps.
If this was anyone else, they would've fallen into the Mu Clan's trap right from the beginning. But who was Ling Xian? His knowledge and experience were comparable to those of the original level. Why would he fall for it?
"Mu Clan, Mu Clan, so what you are scheming? Since I, Ling Xian, didn't fall into your trap from the beginning, why would I fall into the trap of three treasures? "Ling Xian's lips curled into a sarcastic and cold smile.
Since the Mu Clan predicted that he would choose the Dragon's Scale, then he had to get his hands on it. After all, he was confident that he wouldn't fall into the Mu Clan's trap. Why wouldn't he take it?
Because of this, not only would he acquire the treasures, but he would also be safe. When that happens, one can only imagine how colorful the Mu Clan ancestor's face will be.
"Mu Clan ancestor, while you are plotting against me, don't you know that I am plotting against you as well?" Ling Xian's eyes flashed with mockery, "Since you have voluntarily offered the three treasures to me, then I will accept them. As for who will laugh in the end, we will have to wait and see. "
As he thought about it, he shifted his gaze towards Mu Feng and once again made the statement that made everyone's teeth itch.
"Mu Clan Leader, this item is mine."
At those words, everyone sighed and their faces were full of helplessness.
Originally, since Ling Xian hadn't spoken for so long, they thought he didn't want the Dragon's Scale anymore. This gave them some hope. Yet before their eyes, the exact same statement had appeared again. Naturally, they couldn't help but sigh.
The most helpless and infuriated person was Mu Feng.
He knew that Ling Xian wouldn't let go of this Dragon's Scale. Therefore, he was beyond furious. If he didn't have a sliver of rationality left in him, he would've rushed up and fought.
"Aye, whatever. After all, the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl have already been given to him. The Dragon's Scale doesn't matter." Mu Feng silently sighed. He didn't know the Mu Clan ancestor's plan, so he really didn't want to give up the Dragon's Scale.
However, there was nothing he could do. Ling Xian's capabilities were there for all to see and he didn't dare to disobey the Mu Clan ancestor's order. He could only grit his teeth and endure the pain, "Since you have spoken, then I will do as you say."
"Very good."
Ling Xian smiled in satisfaction and flapped around his sleeve. The Dragon's Scale in Mu Feng's hand immediately flew before him. However, he didn't touch it with his hands. Instead, he scanned it with his Qi.
After confirming that there was a trap on the Dragon's Scale, he shook his head and sent it into the Painting of the Nine Immortals. He believed that even if the Mu Clan used the most difficult trap, it wouldn't be able to escape the immortals' eyes.
"The Technique of the Physical Body, the Fire Taming Pearl, and the Dragon's Scale are all in my bag. This trip was not a waste."
Ling Xian revealed a satisfied smile. He straightened his back and said, "Since I have picked out three treasures, then there is nothing else for me to do. I will be leaving now."
As he spoke, he strode in the direction of the inn.
Huang Er followed closely behind him.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, the man in black who offered a price for the Fire Taming Pearl also stood up and followed.
Then, another person stood up. This person's outfit was similar to that of the man in black. They were both wearing loose black robes and had a bamboo hat covering their faces. It was hard to see their faces.
"This man doesn't look like he was poisoned by the Poisonous Dragon Scorpion. It looks like my first plan failed."
The man stared at Ling Xian's back and said in a dark tone, "But I predicted that you would choose the three treasures and that you would find out about the trap on them. However, discovering it is one thing, and being able to come out unscathed is another matter. "
"Young man, after today, you will understand that the Mu Clan's treasures are not that easy to take. The Mu Clan is not a clan you can provoke."
The man snickered and his tone was full of confidence, "I look forward to the day when you see the sun rise. Then, I will personally finish you off."
