Chapter 9: The Black Knife

The black knife, the exclusive saber of the Shadow Blade, everyone could feel a chill spreading just by placing it on the stage, let alone taking it home.

As the black knife was photographed and sent backstage, the momentary quiet viewing seat became hot again, and everyone was waiting for the next good thing to come on. Liu Qing on the side was stunned as he watched the change in the atmosphere in the arena, holding his chin and shaking his head and smiling bitterly. This saber of his own is indeed not suitable for ordinary people's party occasions. Not to mention the murderous aura accumulated over the years, the abnormal black color on the knife body is enough to make people tremble. That kind of black seems to be able to absorb some light, even in the middle of the night, it can be accurately recognized, and it seems that the soul will be absorbed into it after watching it for a long time. It took Liu Qing a lot of time to get used to this knife back then.

If you want to talk about fame, the black knife is bigger than the shadow blade, after all, the shadow blade has only been famous for a few years, and the black knife has a long history.

The strange thing is that although everyone knows about the black knife, no one knows the specific origin of the black knife. Not even the vintage. There have been several times in history when the black knife appeared, all of which were born with the owner and disappeared with the master. The nearest owner is Liu Qing, and many people are also speculating how long the black knife will be brilliant this time.

Unexpectedly, in the "purge" incident a few years ago, the shadow blade was rumored to have died, and the black knife disappeared, and everyone lamented that this time was the shortest time the black knife was born. Until this auction, the black knife appeared again, and everyone wanted to witness the glory of the black knife again with the attitude of watching the show, so there were not many people who bid for the price, and Hua Tian also picked up a leak, but undoubtedly Hua Tian also stood in a high-profile position.

The only thing that puzzled Liu Qing was that Tang Guozhong next to him also increased the price as if watching a play, which may seem like a joke to ordinary people, but for Liu Qing, any action of the middle-aged uncle next to him has a deep meaning.

Whether it is his identity or the belonging of the black knife, these are not secrets that cannot be disclosed to Liu Qing. Even when the time is ripe, Liu Qing will take the initiative to announce it to the outside world.

Only the mystery of the black knife itself cannot be known to anyone else in any way.

The development of the circle of spirit masters is currently in the second stage, that is, the second era, the development of the first two eras is based on the discovery of the "key", the first key is a black stone, also known as the spirit crystal, the spirit crystal makes the talent awakening possible, the second key is the awakening potion, the awakening potion greatly improves the probability of talent awakening, and it becomes possible for everyone to become a spirit master (in fact, there is still some distance), and the development of the spirit master is advancing by leaps and bounds in the second era.

Everyone is speculating about what is the key to breaking through the Second Age, and how will the spirit master develop in the next stage?

Only Liu Qing knew that the black knife was the key key, but Liu Qing didn't know how to use this key, and it took a few years to figure out a little function.

Liu Qing leaned lazily on the chair, his thoughts were not in the auction, and after the black knife, several jaw-dropping spirit master objects appeared, Liu Qing had to sigh at the vast power of this club.

"Looks like we'll have to check out this clubhouse in the future. Liu Qing muttered to himself.

What made Liu Qing even more different was that the middle-aged uncle next to him had not yet purchased the second item after taking the T01 potion. Tang Guozhong is one of the few people who makes Liu Qing completely confused, and there is no purpose in raising cards several times, Liu Qing even thinks that this person is a staff member of the auction, mainly to raise prices.

At this time, the old man came to the stage again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last item of the auction, and I'm sure many of you are here for it. The old man on the field was hunched over his back, slowly moving the script on the stage, and it was clear that the last item made him a little excited.

"I can't say much about the origin of this last item. As we all know, hundreds of years ago, a mysterious person discovered a black stone and founded the Spirit Temple. That black stone is known as the spirit crystal. Today's last lot is also a black stone, although it is of the same origin as the spirit crystal in the spirit hall, but the energy density of this stone today is much smaller, and after the judgment of some senior spirit masters, this stone can only be used once. ”

"Okay, that's the end of the explanation, the starting price is 5 billion, and the price is increased by 100 million each time. The old man put down the microphone and stopped to wait.

The venue seemed to be silent, silent.

Even Liu Qing fell into the old man's words just now, and seemed to be a little unconvinced. This is a spirit crystal, the source of talent awakening, and it can be called a holy relic among spirit masters. And in today's inconspicuous auction, there was a spirit crystal, what T01, what black knife, the previous shock can only be regarded as a haha at this moment.

"20 billion. Tang Guozhong took the lead in bidding and directly quadrupled the starting price.

At this time, the venue seemed to have just woken up, and a burst of discussion broke out. Some say that the spirit crystal is true or false, and some say why the spirit hall let the spirit crystal be exposed, but there is no discussion about whether the price of 20 billion is reasonable.

"25 billion. Hua Tian, who was not far away, followed closely with the sign.

Although everyone present is an industry leader, the price of 10 billion yuan is indeed not a small amount, and there are only a few people who can pay this kind of price to look around the audience, Tang Guozhong counts one, Hua Tian counts one, and the other is the chairman of the Huang Group who was auctioned with Tang Zixin before, Huang Haitao.

The three of them competed to raise their cards, and after a few rounds, the price reached a staggering 40 billion.

"40.1 billion" Huatian raised his card again, and this price has reached the limit that Huatian can afford. The capital reserves of the Tang and Huang groups are also somewhat understood, far from reaching the figure of 40 billion, and today's bidding is either the end of the crossbow, or it has been prepared for a long time.

Hua Tian threw Liu Qing a puzzled look, and Liu Qing understood.

There is no doubt that Tang Guozhong's purpose today is to take pictures of this spirit crystal. Liu Qing believes that not to mention 40 billion, if it is normal, the combined liquidity of all Tang's companies will definitely not exceed 10 billion, and this time it seems that the entire Tang family has been hollowed out.

But, what is the purpose of his desire for spirit crystals? Except for the four elders of the Spirit Hall, no one else could know how to use the Spirit Crystal. Liu Qing really didn't dare to guess that Tang Guozhong knew how to use the spirit crystal, because if this was the case, Tang Guozhong's identity was not just a simple matter, but could scare a group of people to death.

"You expected me to carry out this security mission a long time ago!" Liu Qing asked slowly to hide the guess in his heart.

"There's some luck to it, but you can say the same. Tang Guozhong was still focused on the stage, and he was not surprised in the face of Liu Qing's sudden question.

Liu Qing smiled bitterly, sure enough, Tang Guozhong knew his identity early on. Then a murderous aura loomed, and he hesitated to solve this trouble on the spot.

Tang Guozhong, who was on the side, felt Liu Qing's killing intent, the corners of his mouth rose a slight arc, but he still didn't turn his head, and said, "I'm very interested in you, but I'm just interested." You have your purpose, I have mine, the two purposes do not conflict, you do not cause unnecessary trouble, and maybe we can become allies in the end. ”

Liu Qing looked at this person's smile, and involuntarily felt a little disgusted, and all of Tang Guozhong's facial expressions were like wearing masks, false and stiff. But it is true that as Tang Guozhong said, his black knife has been obtained, and there is no need to pay attention to the spirit crystal that is useless to him, and making a move now is tantamount to announcing to the world that "the shadow blade is back", and he is completely asking for trouble.

"Then it seems that you don't need my protection, the mission ends here, and I look forward to our future cooperation!" Liu Qing got up cleanly and walked to Hua Tian's position, suddenly remembered something, stopped and turned his head, "That's right, remember that the task will give a five-star praise." ”

All assignments can be evaluated and scored by the employer at the end of the assignment, and the better the rating, the better the rating of the firm.

Tang Guozhong waved his hand, and generously said that there was no problem, but Tang Zixin next to him saw that Liu Qing was only halfway through the task and was about to leave, and he specially told him to give a five-star evaluation, and he jumped to his feet angrily.

Liu Qing sat paralyzed beside Hua Tian, and said weakly, "Forget it, don't fight, this thing is a hot potato for us, and it will do no good." ”

Hua Tian nodded indifferently, he didn't want this troublesome stone in the first place, it was just to block the other two.

In the end, Tang Guozhong got the spirit crystal at a price of 45 billion, and Huang Haitao on the opposite side was blood-red, obviously the spirit crystal that was bound to be won was not taken down, and it hit him harder.

After the auction, Liu Qing did not return directly to the office, but followed Hua Tian to his house. As soon as I got home, I couldn't wait to open the suitcase with the black knife.

"It's finally back again. Liu Qing sighed, the black knife rolled left and right in Liu Qing's hand, and it seemed that it had already become one with Liu Qing's arms.

Hua Shaoyuan watched Liu Qing from a distance and played with a black knife like a flower, not daring to approach. Because the aura emitted by the black knife was somewhat similar to the murderous aura emitted by Liu Qing when he saw the black flag before, it was obvious that Hua Shaoyuan had some shadows in his heart.

"What is the origin of this auction?" Liu Qing suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

"There was a chamber of commerce behind it. Most of the rich people in the country are members, which is why so many people can gather today. But now it seems that it is certainly not a simple chamber of commerce, and the specific thing still needs to be investigated. Hua Tian said thoughtfully.

"Forget it, don't check it, it's still fishy. ”

The two stopped at the same time, and there was only the sound of Liu Qing playing with a knife in the room. Hua Tian was also fascinated by it on the side.

"Why, my hands are itchy!" Hua Tian teased.

"Haha, a little, it's been useless for too long, and the black knife hasn't seen blood for a long time, so it's really time to move. ”

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter. Hua Shaoyuan, who was not far away, scratched his head inexplicably, not knowing what these two were planning.
