Chapter VIII Wu City
Walking into Wushi, Zhang Ruochen walked straight to the central auction hall.
Spirit-level low-grade martial arts are not something that ordinary shops can eat, and only by taking them to the central auction hall and auctioning them to those big families can the value of martial arts be maximized.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen walked into the auction hall, a neatly dressed and pretty maid greeted her, and when she saw Zhang Ruochen's mysterious outfit, she was not surprised at all, and said very politely: "Sir, what help do you need?"
"I want to see the archdeacon of your central auction house!" Zhang Ruochen changed his voice slightly, and it seemed quite deep, sounding like a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
Who the hell is this? As soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to see the archdeacon, and it seemed that he had a lot of money.
"The slave maid will go and tell the archdeacon now, but the archdeacon is usually very busy, and he has to receive VIP customers, so he may not have time to come out to meet you. Wait a minute!"
Immediately after saying this, the maid went through a door and went to address the archdeacon.
Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry, just stood in the lobby and waited quietly.
It didn't take long for the maid to lead a chubby old man in a luxurious robe to come out, pointing in the direction of Zhang Ruochen and saying, "Archdeacon, that's the person." ”
The archdeacon glanced at Zhang Ruochen in a black cloak from a distance, his gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochen's feet, and his old eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a trace of essence.
The boots worn by Zhang Ruochen are called "unicorn inlaid gold boots", and only people in the palace are qualified to wear such boots.
Zhang Ruochen naturally deliberately exposed his boots, after all, what he wanted to auction was a spirit-level swordsmanship, and it was inevitable that he would not be coveted. With his current martial arts cultivation, he can't keep the swordsmanship of the lower grade of the spirit level at all.
But if people know that he is a big man in the palace, then it is estimated that there are not many people who dare to fight his idea.
In the case that his strength is not strong enough, he can only pretend that he is very powerful, and it is still necessary to scare and scare people.
"It's not easy!"
The archdeacon looked at the pair of boots at Zhang Ruochen's feet and thought so in his heart.
The archdeacon's attitude towards Zhang Ruochen immediately became respectful, and he regarded Zhang Ruochen as a big man in the palace, walked up to Zhang Ruochen and whispered: "My lord, please come here!"
"Hmm!"
In order to deter the other party, Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back, showed full bearing, and nodded lightly.
Those warriors in the lobby, seeing that the archdeacon actually showed such an attitude, were secretly speculating in their hearts, it seemed that there was a great big man in the central auction hall.
Ascending to the third floor of the central auction hall, Zhang Ruochen sat at the top steadily, took the teacup handed over by the maid, and said in a superior tone: "I have a treasure here, I want to put it in the central auction hall for auction, call your top appraiser over, and help me appraise it." ”
Seeing Zhang Ruochen's bearing, the archdeacon was even more sure that the other party was an important person in the palace, and immediately ordered someone to ask for an appraiser.
A moment later, an old man with gray hair walked in.
The old man, who looked seventy or eighty years old, had a pair of eyes that were bright, glanced at Zhang Ruochen, and found that he couldn't see through the other party's cultivation, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
The old man immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Ruochen, "The old man is the chief appraiser of the central auction house, I don't know where the things that the adults want to auction are?"
If you can't see through the other party's cultivation, there are only three situations: first, the opponent's martial arts cultivation is higher than his.
Second, the other party's cultivation is much better than his cultivation.
For example, a martial artist who cultivates human-level exercises generally can't see through the cultivation of a martial artist who cultivates spirit-level exercises, and can only roughly guess the opponent's cultivation from some details and the aura on display.
Of course, if the level of the exercises is about the same, those with high cultivation can still see through the martial arts cultivation of those with low cultivation.
Third, the other party has a treasure hidden in his cultivation.
The second and third situations were not common, so the old man instinctively thought that it was the first case, thinking that Zhang Ruochen's cultivation was above him, so he immediately saluted Zhang Ruochen respectfully.
You must know that Zhang Ruochen is cultivating the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", what a profound exercise, unless he deliberately shows the meridians in his body, otherwise, it is estimated that few people in the entire Yunwu County will be able to see through his martial arts cultivation.
Besides, Zhang Ruochen's previous life was originally a strong man of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extreme Realm, although he was reborn in the body of an ordinary person, but that understanding of martial arts and the spirit carried by the soul were no different from the martial artists of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
If you want to see through his cultivation, unless the opponent's martial arts realm is above the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Zhang Ruochen's hand reached into his sleeve, touched the space-time spar, and his palm directly entered the inner space of the space-time spar, took out the mantra of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", and handed it to the gray-haired old man.
"What I want to auction is this volume of spirit-level inferior swordsmanship!" Zhang Ruochen said lightly.
As soon as the chief appraiser took over the mantra of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", he was slightly shocked when he heard Zhang Ruochen's words. I even want to auction the swordsmanship of the lower grade of the spirit level!
The chief appraiser immediately unfolded the rolled sheets of paper and studied them carefully.
The archdeacon who was standing on the side also immediately walked over and consulted the mantra of the "Tianxin Sword Technique" together.
The chief appraiser and archdeacon, both martial arts masters, quickly identified the results and nodded at the same time.
"It's indeed a mantra for the sword technique of the lower grade of the spirit level, I don't know how many sword moves you have in your hands?" asked the archdeacon.
Only when the mantra and sword moves are combined can the true power of the spirit-level low-grade swordsmanship be brought into play.
Even if the archdeacon and the chief appraiser forcibly memorized the mantra of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", if there were no sword moves to match it, then the mantra written down would be useless.
Zhang Ruochen said: "The whole set of swordsmanship, a total of twelve moves. The original book of the sword technique has been lost, and the "Tianxin Sword Technique" in my hand is a sword move schema drawn by a strong man in the Heavenly Extreme Realm, and there is no difference between it and the original book of the sword technique. ”
The chief appraiser pondered for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, then set the starting price of the 'Tianxin Sword Technique' at 200,000 silver coins. However, there is a premise, after the auction is successful, the buyer will review the sword moves and formulas of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", and if the sword technique is not a spirit level lower grade, the auction result will not be counted. ”
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Everything is done according to the rules of the auction house!"
The auction of "Tianxin Sword Technique", just tonight, became the finale item of the Zhongpin Auction tonight.
Before the auction began, the central auction house immediately spread the news to the major families in the royal city.
The important figures of the major families rushed to the martial city with huge sums of money, and they all wanted to buy a complete set of spirit-level lower-grade swordsmanship.
Zhang Ruochen does not care about the auction process, only the result of the auction.
About two hours passed, the auction ended, and the results of the auction came out.
In the competition between the major families, the price of the "Tianxin Sword Technique" was raised to 1.24 million silver coins, and it was finally taken by the head of the Lin family.
"It's actually the Lin family!" Zhang Ruochen was also slightly surprised after hearing this result.
It didn't take long for Lin Fengxian, the head of the Lin family, Lin De, an uncle of the Lin family, and Lin Lushan, one of the four young beauties of Yunwu County, to walk in from outside.
"The master of the Lin family, this lord is the master of the 'Tianxin Sword Technique'. With a smile on his face, the archdeacon pointed towards Zhang Ruochen, who was sitting at the top,
Lin Fengxian's gaze stayed on the pair of "unicorn inlaid gold boots" on Zhang Ruochen's feet for a moment, nodded slightly, arched his hand slightly, and said, "Lin Fengxian, the head of the Xia Lin family, I don't know what to call the adult?"
Before coming in, Lin Fengxian had heard the archdeacon describe this mysterious person, and knew that the other party had a great background, and it was likely to be a big man in the palace.
Therefore, after Lin Feng walked in first, he took the initiative to lower his posture as the head of the Lin family.
Seeing Lin Fengxian and Lin Lushan, Zhang Ruochen became more cautious in case he was recognized by them.
Zhang Ruochen coughed dryly twice, and his voice became deep: "You don't need to know my name. This is the mantra and sword move schema of the 'Tianxin Sword Technique', the Lin family master will take it over and review it!"
As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen took out the mantra and sword move schema from his sleeve and put it on the table.
Lin Fengxian did not review the mantra of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", he believed that the central auction house had already identified the mantra before the auction.
He unfolded the sword move pattern of the "Tianxin Sword Technique", and saw twelve villain drawings depicted on the paper.
If ordinary people looked at the twelve pictures, they couldn't see anything special at all, but when Lin Fengxian's eyes fell on the paper, the twelve villains holding long swords seemed to come to life, standing on the paper and dancing swordsmanship.
Each sword technique is exquisite, containing a broad and profound martial arts artistic conception, even if you just learn one of the moves, it has been used endlessly.
"This set of swordsmanship is definitely at the top level among the martial arts of the lower grade of the spirit level, it is simply worth buying!" Lin Fengxian's heart was extremely excited.
