Chapter 126 - The Plan
Chapter 126: The Plan
After quietly waiting for everyone to finish their astonishment, Miao Qing opened his mouth to speak again.
“This is a seventh-level sword manual. The starting price of the Astral God Sword Technique is 300,000 spiritual stones! Each bid must not be less than 50,000 spiritual stones! The auction begins now!”
As his voice fell, the entire auction hall instantly fell silent. It was because the starting price had already exceeded most people’s entire wealth!
Even though they were envious, and there were even quite a number of people who wanted to directly snatch it from here, they still managed to control their greed in the end!
For the Lin clan to be able to grow in Lin City for thousands of years, it could not be said that their clan’s foundation was not deep.
Moreover, since they were able to take out a seventh-level sword manual for auction, did that mean that this sword manual was not that important to the Lin clan?
As the crowd slowly figured out this juncture, everyone instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. Thinking carefully, they were extremely terrified!
At this moment, on the second floor.
Bai Wuheng’s eyes were eagerly staring at the sword manual on the auction stage.
“Really? These are all real! My guess is right. These last two items are indeed a set! Fortunately, the longsword from before has already been bought by me! A longsword and a sword technique. Lin clan, what on earth are you trying to do?”
‘However, since you’ve taken it out, then this is my opportunity!’ Bai Wuheng thought to himself.
At this moment, Bai Yanlang, who was beside him, opened a wooden box in his hand.
Inside the wooden box were copies of the deed to the house and the shop.
“Father! I knew that there might be unexpected circumstances during this trip, so I brought the deed to the house and the shop that I could spare!”
When Bai Wuheng heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at the wooden box in surprise. Then, he looked at Bai Yanlang and said with great gratification, “Son, you’ve finally grown up. Now, you’ve even learned to share my worries. Not bad at all!”
“Hahahahaha. No, no, no! It’s all because Father taught me well.”
…
In the VIP room of the royal auction house.
The group of elders of the royal auction house stared at Miao Qing who was on the auction stage with their eyes wide open. For a moment, they were speechless.
“Elders, is this sword technique...?”
“It seems that there hasn’t been any seventh-level sword manual released in the Imperial City recently! Could it be that this sword technique was recently brought out from some ruins?”
“Such a treasure shouldn’t be left outside the Imperial City. We should do our best to send this sword technique to the Imperial City!”
Ever since the Astral God Sword Technique was brought out and displayed to everyone, the royal auction house’s biggest person in charge, the elder, had sat on the sofa. At this moment, after he heard the discussions of the people around him, only then did he slowly open his eyes.
“This is a seventh-level sword technique, the Astral God Sword Technique! This time, we must do everything to make it ours!”
“Yes! Grand elder!” the other elders present immediately responded.
…
“This is the legendary seventh-level sword technique, and it’s real!”
“Zhao Gongming, do you have any thoughts?”
“You’re asking me? Qi Yueheng, have you been the clan leader for so long that you’ve forgotten what you’re capable of?”
“Why do you think he’d appear in the auction house for something like this? Do you think those people from the royal auction house next door will let it go at this time?” Zhao Gongming said helplessly.
“That won’t do. If I don’t try to fight for such a great opportunity for no reason, I think I’ll regret it to death! In that case, hand over all your spiritual stones to me. If I succeed, we’ll comprehend it together!”
Hearing Qi Yueheng’s unwillingness, Zhao Gongming was a little moved, so he said, “Alright then, take my spiritual stones. We’ll talk about the rest after the bid is successful!”
“Now, let’s begin the auction of the seventh-level sword manual, Astral God Sword Technique.”
“The starting price is 100,000 spiritual stones. Each bid must not be less than 10,000 spiritual stones!”
“It’s true! It’s really a seventh-level sword manual! I’ve never seen such a high-level sword manual before!”
“Hehe, let’s not talk about you. I’ve traveled all over the world all my life, and the highest-level treasure I’ve seen is only a fifth-level magic tool.”
“Seventh-level treasure… This is an occurrence in thousands of years outside of the Imperial City!”
Some people were so excited that they were dancing. Their faces were red as they reached out their hands to grab the white spots of light that were constantly flowing above their heads, hoping to grab one or two of them. It was as if this would satisfy their desire for simplicity.
Some people looked at the auction stage with fervent expressions. The ancient secret manual in Miao Qing’s hands seemed to be worshipping a few sacred existences.
No one knew where the Lin auction house had obtained such a precious treasure. For this rare seventh-level treasure to be put up for auction, this was no ordinary heroic spirit.
“200,000 spiritual stones!”
This was the voice from the VIP room where the royal auction house was located.
In an auction like this where the starting price was 100,000 spiritual stones, almost everyone on the first floor of the auction could only watch instead of participating in the auction.
Only the representatives of the major powers in the VIP rooms on the second floor, as well as a few other people, were qualified to participate in the bidding.
In the eyes of the people who did not know the truth, they regarded the royal auction house as a mysterious representative. However, in the eyes of Miao Qing and the other people who were qualified to bid, this represented the attitude of the royal family.
“Royal auction house? You have such great authority to bid!”
Bai Wuheng sneered in the auction room and immediately bid.
“250,000 spiritual stones!”
Qi Yueheng, who had been a little worried earlier, did not hesitate after seeing that Bai Wuheng had already made his bid.
“300,000 spiritual stones!”
As the various factions entered the auction hall one after another, a rare bidding sound could be heard from the auction hall on the first floor.
“330,000 spiritual stones!”
This was a mysterious person in a corner. He was dressed in a long black robe, and his face was also covered by a mask that had the ability to block spiritual detection.
“350,000 spiritual stones!”
This was the work of the Xu Feng Regiment’s commander, Xu Youqing.
He was the leader of a mercenary group and a wanderer without a fixed home. If he had to wander around for his whole life, or even live in another dynasty to be able to obtain this treasure, he was willing to do so!
