It was almost noon, and the second floor of Tianxing Chamber of Commerce was already overcrowded. Zhou Qingmu stopped practicing his sword and sat down panting, looking at the bustling auction house.

After lighting a stick of incense, the graceful woman in red who was standing at the door of the Chamber of Commerce to greet the guests walked up to the booth in the middle of the auction hall with her two attendants.

Immediately afterwards, after a while of greetings from the woman in red, the auction was held as scheduled. The woman in red took off the veil on the exhibition box, revealing an ancient talisman.

In the previous greetings, the woman in red had informed everyone present of her identity and name. Her name was Gu Luanyue, and she was a branch president of the Naitianxing Chamber of Commerce in the Dahong Dynasty.

Gu Luanyue smiled slightly, looked at this talisman and said: "This is a thunder talisman made hundreds of years ago by an ancestor of the Zhenlei Chen family, one of the eight ancient aristocratic families in the Taoist sect. It only requires cultivation at the Bone Building realm to make it."

Summoning three Nine Heavens Universal Divine Thunder, you don’t need to have practiced the thunder method yourself. It can be said that you can use the Chen family’s thunder-inducing magical power with almost no threshold or own conditions. However, it can only be used once, so here you can use it.

It can be used as a life-saving trump card or as a hidden killing move. The starting price is one hundred and eighty spiritual stones or eight hundred taels of silver."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingmu, who was sitting in the Tang family's high-end box, was shocked. The starting price of the first lot in the auction was eight hundred taels of silver! Zhou Qingmu had very vague thoughts about the spirit stone.

It is a treasure used by some cultivators. However, Zhou Qingmu naturally knows a lot about silver coins. The Zhenlei Chen family and Zhou Qingmu are also quite close. If it were not for the Zhenlei Chen family, he would not even know him and his life and death.

He had never thought that the thunder talisman refined by the ancestor of the Chen family could be so valuable. He had also seen the power of the Chen family's thunder spell before, but it was almost impossible to use it under Lin Chengshuang's fists.

Resolved. Zhou Qingmu had no idea how valuable this thunder talisman was in the eyes of practitioners!

Tang Zijin on the side saw Zhou Qingmu's expression, leaned on the chair and propped up his head and asked: "Young master Zhou, what do you want?"

When Zhou Qingmu heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said: "Of course I don't mean this, but I am really shocked by the price."

Tang Zijin just smiled when he heard this.

After Gu Luanyue introduced the object, people began to bid in the hall. After several rounds of bidding, this talisman from Zhenlei Chen's family was sold to a young man dressed as a son of a noble family for 300 spiritual stones.

Bought.

However, none of the aristocratic figures on the second floor bid. Perhaps, they probably don't need such a thing.

Then, Gu Luanyue put away the talisman and ordered someone to bring up a long box.

Gu Luanyue slowly opened the square box. There was a sharp knife in it. She then said: "This is the Lengyue knife. It is as thin as a cicada's wing and cuts iron like mud. The elders of the Chamber of Commerce identified it as a low-grade spirit knife."

The weapon was obtained by a customer of our chamber of commerce from a cave. Although it is only a low-grade spiritual weapon, its power is not inferior to that of some middle-grade or even high-grade spiritual weapons. The starting price of this sword is two hundred spiritual stones or eight hundred and eighty taels of silver.

.”

After hearing this, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and soon someone made a bid. Even Zhou Qingmu, who was on the second floor, could faintly feel that there were a few qi testing the sharp knife lying quietly in the square box. In the end, there was a steady stream of people.

After an incredible bidding, it was bought by a certain aristocratic elder on the second floor for two thousand taels of silver.

Zhou Qingmu was just shocked and sighed at this, maybe he didn't understand the life of these rich people.

In the subsequent rounds of auctions, almost all of them were spiritual weapon magic weapons and martial arts talismans. Zhou Qingmu just watched the bidding competition of these big families, while Tang Zijin on the side held his head as if he was not interested. This made

Zhou Qingmu was quite confused about Tang Zijin's purpose of coming here.

...

At this time, a martial arts competition was taking place in the imperial capital of the Dahong Dynasty.

A young man in Taoist robes with red runes was looking at the man in Taoist robes who came to challenge him.

This young man in Taoist robes is named Yang Zhao, and he is a young monk who suddenly appeared in the Dahong Dynasty. As soon as he appeared, he threatened to challenge all the monks below the Qi Condensation Realm in the Dahong Dynasty, regardless of age or status.

That day, he stood on the most conspicuous street of the Dahong Dynasty, raised the blade in his hand, and shouted to the palace: "My name is Yang Zhao, and I want to challenge all the monks below the Qi Condensation Realm in the Dahong Dynasty.

, if you have the guts, come and have a fight with me, grandpa, and decide whether he is better or worse."

As soon as he said these words, many monks were naturally furious, and they all came to teach this ignorant boy a lesson. This matter also attracted a certain prince of the Dahong Dynasty, and even this prince was very interested after hearing it.

, personally set up a competition stage for this man.

At this time, it had been three days since the competition stage was set up. This young man in Taoist robes carrying a sword fought against nine Lingfu realm masters from the Dahong Dynasty, winning seven times and losing two, without losing a single defeat!

His sword skills are superb, and the most commendable thing is his unprecedented fire control technique. Almost all nine people were defeated by Yang Zhao's fire transport technique. Looking at the Dahong Dynasty, everyone who can use fire control technique

There are not a few people who are skilled in this technique, and it can be said that it is a trick that almost everyone in the Taoist sect knows. The flame used by Yang Zhao is only an extremely ordinary flame that can be summoned by ordinary fire talismans, but in this hand-controlled fire technique and

Under the magical power, most people have more than enough intention but not enough power.

The two people who barely fought him to a draw were both masters from the Qing Hong Sword Sect. They were able to draw with this man almost by using the sword-drawing talisman refined by the elders of the sect. After the sword-drawing talisman was activated,

, which can activate 50% of the refiner's cultivation and 70% of his swordsmanship. With this life-saving trump card, he can fight to a draw with Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao looked at the person who came to challenge him, and tugged on his crotch in an extremely unmannerly manner. The person who came was the eldest son of a sword cultivator from the Dahong Dynasty. He looked seriously in front of him and stuck his sword on the ground.

The young man saluted, said his family name, then drew his sword and rushed towards Yang Zhao.

Seeing this, Yang Zhao just raised the corner of his mouth and waved. The sharp knife suddenly flew out from the ground and slashed straight at the man in Taoist robes who was charging towards him.

The Taoist-robed man was not careless. He chanted the magic formula slightly in his mouth, the blade of the sword glowed with white light, and he slashed out with one strike, sending Yang Zhao's sharp sword flying dozens of meters away.

When everyone watching the battle saw this scene, some people felt a little bit about the tyranny of this robed man with swordsmanship, and felt a sense of misfortune for Yang Zhao, who had just fought a battle and consumed most of his true energy. But naturally, some people thought that Yang Zhao, who had never been defeated,

How could he lose so easily?

Just as the sword of the Taoist-robed man was approaching Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao's whole body suddenly burst into flames. At some point, a palm carrying the flames struck the approaching sword.

Then, countless palms carrying firelight came towards the Taoist robe man, one palm after another. In just a moment, the fire light dissipated, and the Taoist robe man was half-kneeling on the ground with blood in his mouth. But the previous one

The knife that was approaching Yang Zhao had been struck and stuck on the ground dozens of meters behind the Taoist-robed man.

Yang Zhao looked at the scene in front of him, leaned on the wooden pole behind him, hugged his chest and opened his mouth.

"Uncle, these tricks are of no use to me!"

This scene made everyone present stunned. This move had never been used by this ignorant young man in the past three days.

At the same time, a young man in a Chinese robe among the crowd also saw the elegance of Yang Zhao's move. He nodded slightly, with a lot of admiration in his mouth. After seeing the man in Taoist robes who was half kneeling on the ground, he turned sideways

He turned his head to the old man beside him and said: "I saw the person right indeed. This person's fighting power is truly unparalleled. Mr. Tian, ​​after you finish beating Mr. Yang, you can bring him to see me. If this person can

If he is used by me, he will definitely become a fierce general in the future. If something unexpected happens during this period, I have to trouble Mr. Tian to save him."

The old man beside him, who was called "Old Tian" by the young man in Chinese robes, nodded and said in a low voice: "This is naturally the duty of my subordinates. Although people like this have some bad habits, if they grow up in the future, they will definitely be able to

It adds a lot of confidence to His Highness’ great cause.”

Just as the young man in colorful robes nodded, the man in Taoist robes slowly stood up, looked at the person in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "No, it's not over yet."

The Taoist-robed man crushed the talisman that appeared in his hand at some point, and his sword intent suddenly rose. With a move of his big hand, the sharp knife that had been shot far away suddenly flew towards him.

The man in Taoist robes caught the flying sword, with a trace of helplessness on his face, and said: "I proclaimed myself as a swordsman, and I didn't want to get involved in the victory or defeat in the world. But today, as a martial artist who came to challenge, I lost like this.

Here, I have insulted the name of my mentor, and I will use all my strength to deal with you. I hope you will remember that the person who came to challenge you is a disciple of the one-armed swordsman Liu Zhengfeng, named Wang Daocheng!"

After saying that, the sword cultivator at the peak of the Lingfu Realm named "Wang Daocheng" gathered countless sword energy with the sharp sword in his hand, and shouted: "The first move of the Wu Nitian Sword, against fate!"

The Wu Nitian Sword is said to be the famous stunt of a swordsman with an extremely high level of martial arts! About thirty years ago, the swordsman who created this technique had a battle with Li Qiubai, the sword god with the highest attainments in swordsmanship in the world. This happened

The first battle is a famous event in the world. The outcome of that battle is still unknown. However, since then, there has been a person in the world who claims to be "the sword in my hand, Ni Immortal, Ni Immortal, Ni

Destiny, defy the heavens! In the world of martial arts, your sword, Li Qiubai, should not only be yours, but also my unparalleled sword skills!"

The person in front of me was actually the successor of the sword cultivator who shocked the ancient times! Everyone present was extremely shocked.

Wang Daocheng's sword slashed out, and the unparalleled sword intent that swept through the world came straight towards Yang Zhao. When Yang Zhao saw this scene, he couldn't help but cursed: "No way, it's just a spar, and you still let it go like this

A big killing move. What a damn bad luck!"

When the unparalleled sword intent was about to sweep in front of Yang Zhao, the careless young man murmured some magic formula. Suddenly, the sky was full of fire again, and in the fire, a giant hand moved towards the sword.

Caught him with unparalleled domineering sword energy.

In the audience, everyone watching the battle used their true energy to protect their bodies. Mr. Tian, ​​who was next to the young man in a gorgeous robe, was about to take action but was stopped.

The firelight and sword energy dispersed, leaving only Wang Daocheng standing on the stage, but the careless and ignorant Yang Zhao was not seen.

When everyone looked for him, they saw the guy standing dozens of meters away, cursing, with his knees propped up and cold sweat visibly forming on his forehead.

Everyone was confused, didn't this guy say that he wanted to die separately?

In this battle, because Yang Zhao stepped down to avoid the fight, Wang Daocheng was not seriously injured and fell to the ground. In these ten fights, Yang Zhao finally lost one.

...

On the other side, Tang Zijin still made no move regarding the several auction items that Gu Luanyue took out.

Zhou Qingmu also began to watch the bidding of the wealthy families in silence, until Gu Luanyue took out a small porcelain bottle from a box, and Zhou Qingmu's blood boiled involuntarily at this moment.

Zhou Qingmu made some investigations and finally confirmed that it was caused by the "seed" that caused him endless pain but accidentally led him to the path of cultivation. So Zhou Qingmu braced himself and looked at the small porcelain bottle very seriously.

Gu Luanyue also introduced at this time: "What is contained in this small porcelain bottle is an object that also came from a certain cave heaven paradise. It is also the highlight of this auction. This object is a drop of blood essence from the ancient demon species Nine Evil Dragon Demon.

The Nine Evil Dragon Demon is a ferocious beast that contains nine extremely evil evil spirits and a part of the true dragon's blood. If its essence and blood are refined, it can not only feed its essence, but also refine its evil spirit and temper the body.

Take your strength to the next level! However, you still need to be cautious after taking the photo. This thing can be called a full double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you may be counterattacked by the evil spirit and eventually go on fire.

Be possessed by a demon and die. The starting price is one thousand spiritual stones or three thousand silver."

After hearing Gu Luanyue's introduction, Zhou Qingmu's blood boiled even more, making him have the urge to buy. However, Zhou Qingmu still suppressed his involuntary excitement because he really didn't have so much money.

Come and take a photo of such an expensive treasure. In just a few moments, the price of this drop of blood from the Nine Evil Dragon Demon has already reached 1,500 spirit stones, and someone has already bid 4,600 taels of silver.

But at this moment, Tang Zijin, who had been silently looking at the excitement downstairs without speaking, suddenly spoke.
Chapter completed!
