Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Auction

The people who were originally prepared to join in the fun immediately retracted their necks.

Although high-grade Spirit Weapons were precious, their prices would not exceed two million taels.

1.8 million gold taels were enough to buy a high-grade Spirit Weapon from the Eight Treasures Pavilion.

It was not worth it to raise the price.

Today’s auction had many items on sale. At this moment, they were already nearing the end. They had already spent most of their money. Even if they wanted to participate, they were powerless.

“1.8 million going once!” The auctioneer came back to his senses and hurriedly shouted.

“1.8 million going twice!”

“This kid is probably going to lose until he doesn’t even have his pants left!” Seeing the auctioneer preparing to drop the hammer, Zhao Zheng sneered.

Until now, he still firmly believed in his own judgment. That rusty short sword was definitely not a high-level Spirit Weapon.

High-grade Spirit Weapons were rare in the Yanyang Empire and were considered precious items that could only be found by luck.

He Chuan was just a country bumpkin who had just arrived in the Imperial Capital. How could he have met him right away?

Xu Lang and the others also thought He Chuan had a problem with his brain.

What was he if he didn’t have water in his brain?

Seeing that no one else was bidding, the auctioneer immediately raised his hammer and was ready to announce the result.

“Two million taels!” A cold voice suddenly came from the room on the left side of the second floor, raising the bid again!

Everyone was shocked!

Two million gold taels for a high-grade Spirit Weapon?

Even if he managed to bid for it, he would definitely lose money.

The rusty sword looked ordinary and did not look like a spirit weapon at all. It was most likely not a spirit weapon at all and could be compensated with 20 million gold!

The person upstairs was betting that the short sword was not a high-grade spiritual weapon!

Everyone instantly understood.

“I bid 2.5 million taels!”

Just when everyone thought that the dust had settled, a loud laughter suddenly came from the private room on the right side of the second floor.

Everyone couldn’t sit still.

Two million taels was already a sky-high price. Two million and five hundred thousand taels…

25 million gold!

Could the two of them upstairs be bent on losing to the kid on stage today?

Even the auctioneer was dumbfounded. He was in a daze and could only shout out of habit.

“Congratulations to the guest in private room number two for winning the bid. A high-grade Spirit Weapon!” The auctioneer almost let it slip and quickly changed his words.

“2.5 million taels? Doesn’t that mean you have to pay 25 million taels?”

“Don’t stand here and continue to pretend to be deep. Hurry up and call the appraiser to appraise it!”

Zhao Zhengshi was so excited that he couldn’t control himself and rushed to the stage.

He wanted to see how he was going to compensate them with 25 million gold taels.

Zhao Zheng was confident that the short sword was not a high-grade spiritual weapon, so he was certain that He Chuan would have to pay 25 million gold!

Even the Zhao family could not take out such huge money in one go.

He Chuan’s right middle finger and index finger formed a sword finger and pointed at the rusty short sword.

The ordinary-looking short sword emitted a dazzling light.

The sword trembled violently, and countless pieces of rust were shaken off. A brand new sword body was gradually revealed. It was dazzling and sharp!

A Spirit Weapon, it was actually really a Spirit Weapon!

Everyone in the auction hall stood up in unison and looked over.

Zhao Zheng was instantly dumbfounded.

The rusty short sword was really high-level Spirit Weapon.

Didn’t that mean that he had lost?

Not only was he unable to make He Chuan kneel and apologize, but he also had to pay two million taels of gold.

Zhao Zheng’s face was ashen.

“This is indeed a Spirit Weapon, but it is definitely not a high-grade Spirit Weapon! ”

Everyone present was shocked, and their gazes could not help but focus on the short sword.

The rusty surface of the dagger had been completely renewed.

Its entire body was smooth and bright, looking brand new.

Even before it was activated by the spiritual energy, it emitted a sharp light that was dazzling and sharp, causing one’s heart to palpitate.

“This was definitely a sharp aura that could only be emitted by a weapon that surpassed Mortal Weapons and reached the level of a Spirit Weapon.”

“But this dagger doesn’t have any inscriptions!”

It was unknown who suddenly cried out in alarm. It was as if a stone had fallen into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a thousand dust waves.

There were no inscriptions!

With such a sharp glow, this sword was made of extraordinary materials. It could definitely be forged into a high-grade Spirit Weapon, or even a top-grade Spirit Weapon.

Unfortunately, without the inscription of an Array Master, it was, at most, a low-grade Spirit Weapon!

Everyone sighed in unison, their eyes filled with regret.

The biggest reason why Spirit Weapons were stronger than Mortal Weapons was that the materials used to forge Spirit Weapons were all rare minerals.

Not only was it sturdy, but it could also withstand the impact of spiritual energy and amplify sword intent.

However, the extent of this amplification came from the properties of the material used to make the Spirit Weapon. It was singular and limited.

A spiritual weapon of this grade was only considered to have transcended Mortal Weapons and stepped into the ranks of Spirit Weapons. It could only be considered the most basic Spirit Weapon and was not classified.

As for low, medium, high, and even top-grade Spirit Weapons needed to be engraved with an array of runes on the original foundation so that they could not only withstand the impact of spiritual energy.

Moreover, it could contain and accumulate spiritual energy, thereby increasing the power of martial techniques used by martial artists by several times.

To martial artists, it was like adding wings to a tiger.

Unfortunately, although the short sword on the auction stage was shining brightly and was at the level of a Spirit Weapon, it was still an excellent weapon.

However, the brand-new sword was extremely smooth. It was obvious that there was no array of runes engraved on it, and it lacked the support of inscriptions.

It could only be considered as having the foundation to become a Spirit Weapon.

“Xu Lang, you have good taste!” Zhao Zheng also reacted. His ashen face was filled with surprise as he laughed excitedly.

Although the Xu family was just a small family in the capital, they had been engaged in weapon forging for generations. Now, they were even the weapon blacksmiths appointed by the royal family. They still had this kind of insight!

Seeing that everyone instantly understood his meaning, Xu Lang’s face flashed with pride as he explained modestly.

It had to be said that He Chuan’s vision was very unique. He could see through the layers of rust and the special material inside the short sword.

Unfortunately, his luck ended here!

A Spirit Weapon without inscriptions could only be considered a basic spirit weapon at most.

Zhao Zheng regained his confidence and looked at He Chuan arrogantly.

They were betting on a high-grade Spirit Weapon, and the one they had promised on the auction stage was also a high-grade Spirit Weapon!

Therefore, He Chuan still lost!

There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and there is another village in the dark!

He had thought that he would doubtless lose the bet, but he did not expect to see hope now and turn the tables.

If a Spirit Weapon wanted to advance and become a true Spirit Weapon.

The only way was to engrave formation runes and add inscriptions.

An Array Masters who could engrave inscriptions were even rarer than Pill Master.

In the vast Yanyang Empire, there were many people who studied formations and stepped into the Array Dao.

However, in the past hundreds of years, there hadn’t even been an ?$l)fi who could carve inscriptions.

Even the lowest ninth-rank Array Master had never appeared before.

Therefore, who else had a way to turn this short sword into a true Spirit Weapon?

It couldn’t even become a real Spirit Weapon, let alone a high-grade Spirit Weapon.

“Who says there are no inscriptions on the dagger?” He Chuan’s expression did not change at all as he said without any sadness or joy.

His right hand once again formed a sword finger and suddenly pointed it out. Dazzling flowing light appeared at the tip of his finger and quickly condensed into a thin white light. They intertwined with each other and formed strange runes that slowly fell on the short sword..
