This round of bidding really shocked Yue Qianchou. It wasn't that they couldn't afford the items in front, but they didn't like them. After all, they were using the government's money to do things, unlike him who was using his own money to buy whatever he liked. And once they encountered something slightly better, they would madly bite it like mad dogs. This kind of financial resources was definitely not something that a small sect could come up with. It was estimated that only the Righteous and Demonic Sects could afford such a price. Most of these sects had been around for thousands of years. Which one of them didn't have a few spirit stone mines under them? As for how much wealth they had accumulated, outsiders would not be able to figure it out.
However, this gave Yue Qianchou a wake-up call. If there was something good down there, and if it was something he wanted, he would have to pay a huge price. It would be impossible for him to take advantage of it.
The fifth round of the auction began. It was still a tray covered with a red cloth. After a Wu Clan's disciple removed the red cloth, there was a small wooden frame that was temporarily made on the tray. On it was a small bronze mirror that was the size of a palm. The bronze mirror was antique and had a light yellow color. The mirror in the middle was slightly protruding, and the periphery was carved with a circle of patterns. There were two thin ear holes on the top and a thin chain. It seemed to be something that could be hung in front of the chest.
Everyone was pondering what kind of treasure it was. Even Yue Qianchou was no exception. However, one thing was certain. According to the auction order, this item might be more valuable than the 'Wood Spirit Liquid' in the previous round. Similarly, if anyone wanted to buy it, they would probably have to pay a bigger price.
Under everyone's waiting gaze, Wu Tai smiled and said, "Rumor has it that in ancient times, there was a master refiner known as' Divine Craftsman '. I believe many people have heard of him."
As soon as this opening was said, the people below immediately held their breaths in concentration. Many people's pupils suddenly constricted, and they stared at the small bronze mirror again, carefully sizing it up.
Wu Tai took out the bronze mirror from the plate, pulled up the thin chain, and turned the back of the bronze mirror to face everyone. He continued, "It is said that this' Divine Craftsman 'would leave his name on every treasure he refined,' Mo Ru Qi '. Everyone knows that in ancient times, the whole world was in chaos. Demons and ghosts could run amok in the human world. At that time, the human world also had many geniuses to fight against the demons and ghosts. Many amazing legends were left behind, which made us, the younger generation, fascinated. It is also because of those talented seniors that our cultivation world has today's peace. Presumably, many people knew that it was at that time that the Divine Craftsman forged a 'Demon Revealing Mirror' and hung it on his chest to identify those demons that were wreaking havoc. The bronze mirror in my hand is the 'Demon Revealing Mirror'. "As he spoke, he displayed the bronze mirror in his hand to the surroundings.
Everyone looked at it with rapt attention. Sure enough, there were three ancient words carved on the back of the bronze mirror, "Nothing is better than a weapon." They all gasped. There was actually an ancient treasure that had been passed down to the present. They just didn't know if it was real or fake. Immediately, someone shouted, "Elder Wu, is your Wu clan really sure that this is the 'Demon Revealing Mirror' of the ancient Divine Craftsman?"
Hearing that, Wu Tai put the bronze mirror back on the plate and smiled at everyone. "My Wu clan doesn't dare to boast that we can appraise an ancient treasure, but this item is definitely the 'Demon Revealing Mirror.' Of course, it's not enough to determine it just from the Divine Craftsman's carvings on the back. Because of this, my Wu clan once brought this item into the periphery of the Demon Ghost Region. In the end, all the demons and ghosts were revealed in this mirror. That's why I dare to say that this item is the 'Demon Revealing Mirror.' As for whether this item really came from the hands of a Divine Craftsman or if it's an imitation, my Wu clan can't be sure. However, I want to ask everyone, since ancient times, who has heard of a second 'Demon Revealing Mirror'? "
"Hey! I've never heard of it. Tell me! " Yue Qianchou pulled Wu Licheng. When he was in Aung Kwang-tsung, he didn't fit in with the group. When he was in Fuxian Island, he only thought about doing private work. He rarely talked nonsense with his fellow sect members, so he was really clueless about all kinds of allusions. Wu Licheng whispered into his ear, and the two of them started whispering …
Everyone thought about it carefully and shook their heads secretly. They really hadn't heard of it. For a moment, the doubts in most people's hearts disappeared, and they revealed an indescribable expression. An ancient treasure was actually going to appear in this auction, and it was the work of a 'Divine Craftsman'. This was really a dilemma for everyone!
Why was it difficult to choose? This item was the handiwork of an ancient Divine Craftsman, so it could naturally be considered a treasure. However, according to the current classification of treasures, what level of treasure should this' Demon Revealing Mirror 'be? At most, it was a magic tool. It couldn't even be considered a magic treasure, let alone a spiritual treasure. Because this item couldn't attack or defend, it didn't have any practical value. Did they have nothing better to do than to look for demons to mirror it? Moreover, demons had disappeared without a trace, so it was really difficult to find one. They couldn't possibly run to the Demon Domain and copy it, right? If they really did that, they would probably be guests of the demons, and they would never be able to come back.
Moreover, if this item was put up for auction now, the price would definitely not be low. It was really not worth it to spend a lot of money on this item. Who knew what other things would appear later. However, they couldn't not bid for this useless item, especially when it was from the big sects of the Righteous and Demon Sects. The handiwork of an ancient Divine Craftsman, and a treasure that had left its name in history, would be a gimmick in any sect, even though it was useless.
Moreover, which sect didn't have an old man who could refine weapons? It was just a matter of skill. If they found out that they had missed out on a treasure made by a Divine Craftsman, they would probably be in trouble in the future. They would definitely say that after studying the treasure of a Divine Craftsman, they would definitely be able to greatly improve their refining skills in the future. Then, they would make fun of them.
Sigh! They had to bid for it, but the key was to have a sense of propriety! Everyone looked at the Demon-revealing Mirror and smiled bitterly. How did this thing come out?
After listening to Wu Licheng's introduction, Yue Qianchou was shocked. This broken mirror could actually reflect demons of any cultivation level. Didn't that mean that it could even reflect Bai Suzhen? His heart was a little heavy. In his heart, he had already treated Bai Suzhen as a family member. Regardless of whether she was a demon or not, she was still his most trusted family member. He hated it when people mentioned that Bai Suzhen was a vixen. Even Qu Ping'er had been heavily criticized by him because of this. Because he wanted Bai Suzhen to live a normal life, because she was a woman who could let him completely relax.
That's right! She was a woman, not a demon. At least in his heart, that was the case. Fortunately, this' Demon-revealing Mirror 'was a one-of-a-kind item. Therefore, he had to purchase this item at all costs. It wasn't for anything else but because this woman couldn't be slandered by anyone! Yue Qianchou's eyes gradually narrowed as he stared at the 'Demon-revealing Mirror' on the stage.
Wu Lixue held the sign in her hand and constantly sized up Yue Qianchou. She was a little restless again as the feeling of snatching something from others was too satisfying. However, she was afraid that Yue Qianchou would disappoint her again. After all, the money belonged to him, and she couldn't simply raise a sign for him, right?!
Wu Tai looked below the stage with a beaming smile and said, "Demon-revealing Mirror, the base price is 1.5 million high-grade spirit stones. The highest bidder will win. Each increment must not be lower than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones. Will all the buyers please bid!"
Most of the people below the stage were cursing the Wu Clan's ancestors in their hearts. The Wu Clan had arranged for the Demon-revealing Mirror to appear at this moment. It was obvious that they had seen through everyone's thoughts. It would be hard to explain if they didn't bid for such a useless treasure. Bid, right? This base price wasn't low, but it wasn't very high either. It was truly unbearable to swallow!
Just as everyone was dealing with the Wu Clan's ancestors in their hearts … Yue Qianchou called out, "2 million!"
