Chapter 395: Wu Yue Sword Pavilion, Fierce Competition, One Hammer Settles the Sound

"Ten thousand San Shan talismans!"

In the pavilions on both sides of the stone room, someone else withdrew their seal and revealed their figure.

It was a young cultivator with a Daoist bun. His eyebrows were like knife cuts, extremely sharp. Just as the presiding elder's voice fell, he reported the price impatiently.

And easily, he rushed past the highest point of the treasure gathering's price tonight.

Qian Chen saw that this person did not hide, so he knew that he must have an extraordinary background. Sure enough, as soon as he appeared, someone below whispered: "Could this be the true transmission of the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion, Qian Tang, the direct son of the Qian family of Wu Jun?"

"It is said that this person achieved a second-grade pill three years ago, and the call for him to be selected for the twenty-eight characters of Shenzhou in the next session is very high."

"So that's it. The essence of this Master Chunyang One Qi Sword is so excellent. I think it was taken a fancy to by him, bought to be washed and refined by the seniors of the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion, and used as the sword embryo for his own life-bound flying sword! To add a sharp weapon for the next competition for the twenty-eight characters of Shenzhou!"

The Wu Yue Sword Pavilion was a famous family in the southeast and also one of the several great immortal sects in the Southern Jin. Compared to the Wuling Immortal Sect that Qian Chen had seen, its power was even greater.

Of course, what really caught Qian Chen's attention was not Qian Tang's true transmission background of the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion, but the fact that he shared the same surname as Qian Chen.

The noble families in the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion were headed by the Wu and Qian families. In the past, when Qian Chen first debuted, he was once mistaken for being from the Qian family of Wu Jun. Of course, now the whole world knew that Qian Chen's original surname was 'Li', and he was from the Li family of Longxi!

Since he was the true transmission of the Wu Yue Sword Pavilion and a newly promoted Core Formation, it was not surprising to spend a thousand gold for a top-quality flying sword.

The Wu Yue Sword Pavilion was so prominent, and the direct descendant of the Qian family had an extraordinary background. Except for the few people like Wang Longxiang and Sima Yue present, no one could compare. He offered a high price, which invisibly set up a threshold, excluding those whose status was not enough from the competition for the Taibai lost sword.

"Is Daoist Li also interested in this Taibai lost sword?" Wang Longxiang transmitted his voice with magic power.

"I am also a person who learns the sword. The Taibai Sword Sect was famous in the ancient times and can almost be called the ancestor court of sword cultivators. How could I not be happy to see it?" Qian Chen shook his head with emotion: "It's a pity that my pockets are shy, so I should know how to give up!"

Wang Longxiang nodded slightly upon hearing this. Even if it were him, it would not be easy to lend tens of thousands of San Shan talismans to a fellow Daoist he met by chance.

"If Daoist can win this sword, I can use a Dao book left behind by the Taibai Sword Sect to exchange for a look at this sword!"

Qian Chen joked. Naturally, he didn't have any Dao books left behind by the Taibai Sword Sect in his hands. It was too late to buy them from the Samsara Lord! And if he could harden his heart to buy the incomparably expensive Taibai Dao book from the Samsara Lord, it would be better to compete for the ownership of this lost sword here!

At least it was much cheaper here.

But Qian Chen could realize a trace of sword intent of the long-lost "Cutting Love Sword Control Technique" from the "Taiyin Cutting Love Sword Scripture", and secretly learned the remnant of the "Ten Thousand Ghost Sword Control Technique" from the Samsarans, allowing him to compile one on the spot, which was guaranteed to be more like the original than the real Taibai Dao book.

Wang Longxiang didn't know why, and thought Qian Chen really had the Taibai lost book. His eyes lit up immediately, and he transmitted: "If so, then it's a deal."

"Fifteen thousand San Shan talismans!" he said loudly.

"Wang Longxiang has also made a move!"

"He is obsessed with the sword path, it would be strange if he didn't make a move, right?"

For a time, the atmosphere in the stone room became heated, and countless spiritual senses intertwined and discussed fiercely. Such fierce competition was extremely rare even at the Grand Treasure Gathering in the Spring and Autumn period. This routine meeting today was truly an eye-opener.

"Twenty thousand San Shan talismans!" Qian Tang raised the price again, looking at Wang Longxiang with a sharp gaze, mixed with a kind of respect and eagerness to try, an excitement to challenge.

"Twenty-five thousand San Shan talismans..." Wang Longxiang said in a deep voice.

This price was already close to the true value of a top-grade sword embryo. Considering that top-quality sword embryos were extremely rare, raising it a few more times was fine, but exceeding forty thousand San Shan talismans would be a loss!

Sure enough, Qian Tang was silent for a while, as if hesitating and considering. After a while, he sighed, pushed the teacup beside him in one direction, indicating that he was giving up.

This did not surprise Qian Chen and others, because Qian Tang was obviously buying the top-quality sword embryo of the Taibai lost sword. His reserve price was relatively transparent. What really made people uncertain was the remaining seals on the lost sword, whether they could explore a few points of the Taibai Sword Sect's inheritance.

But such a possibility was truly ethereal. Obviously, Qian Tang's ambition was not here, so naturally, he would not raise the reserve price for this. Compared to buying a sword embryo that had not been refined, it even saved the effort of washing and refining.

Therefore, Wang Longxiang's bid exceeded his reserve price, so he gave up calmly!

Just when everyone thought the sword embryo would fall into Wang Longxiang's hands, the pavilion where Sima Yue was located suddenly killed out. A cold and sharp voice said: "My Prince bids four true talismans!"

The eunuch behind Sima Yue stood out and bid for Sima Yue.

There was a slight commotion below the pavilion. True talismans were different from talismans; they were treasures of Dao practice. An ordinary Aperture Opening cultivator who obtained a true talisman and added magic power could be equivalent to a Core Formation True Person, so they were incomparably precious. A true talisman was often equivalent to ten thousand San Shan talismans, and was the currency used by Yang Spirits and Yin Spirits when trading.

Even someone as wealthy as Ning Ning Shimei Si, who scattered San Shan talismans all over the sky when fighting the enemy, had a limited number of true talismans on her, totaling no more than a few dozen.

The true talismans thrown out by Sima Yue were naturally not the kind carefully selected and meticulously drawn by the Daoist Heavenly Master like Ning Ning Shimei Si, which could have a premium of dozens of times.

Most of them were ordinary, or even low-quality Daoist talismans.

But even so, it was extremely shocking!

The Wang family disciples beside Wang Longxiang saw Sima Yue only send a eunuch to bid, and their faces sank, revealing an angry expression.

If Sima Yue had bid in person, it would just be an ordinary transaction. Everyone bid their own price and compared who was higher.

But Wang Longxiang bid in person here, and Sima Yue let the eunuch shout for him. The meaning in it was too insulting!

For a time, the servants and stewards of the Wang family all had angry expressions.

"Young Master..." an old servant stepped forward.

Wang Longxiang raised his hand slightly and said: "Don't lose your composure. How much do you estimate this Taibai lost sword can be called at most?"

The old servant also calmed down and whispered: "Considering that it may have the inheritance of the Taibai Sword Sect, with the Young Master's understanding, you should be able to comprehend some principles of the Taibai swordsmanship, so you can give up to eighty thousand San Shan talismans!"

Wang Longxiang nodded calmly, ignoring Sima Yue's provocation, only adding the Taibai Dao book exchanged by Qian Chen in his heart, and said faintly: "Then add another twenty thousand as the reserve price."

"Higher than this price, no matter what they say, don't make another move!"

The old servant lowered his head and responded, then said loudly: "Fifty-five thousand San Shan talismans!"

Although Sima Yue only bid four true talismans, equivalent to forty thousand San Shan talismans. But because true talismans were rare, they would always be subsidized, increasing the value by 10% to 20% depending on the quality, which was fifty thousand San Shan talismans. To be safe, the old servant added another five thousand.

After Sima Yue killed out, Qian Chen had no action on the surface, but in fact, he had secretly contacted Si Qingcheng. If Wang Longxiang bid, considering the friendship of these days and the agreement between the two, Qian Chen would not intervene. But now looking at Sima Yue's side, it seemed that he was determined to win. Although he was in public and it was not easy to calculate, Qian Chen always felt that this Taibai lost sword had some unclear connection with Sima Yue, who bid inexplicably. Naturally, he had to make two preparations.

"This is simple!" Si Qingcheng agreed readily on the other side.

Qian Chen instructed again: "I am investigating some things here and cannot expose my identity. You can use the reason that you don't like Wang Longxiang, want to block him, and forcibly buy what he likes, and let your cousin make a move. Anyway, you also have a grudge!"

"Senior brother, I am not such a petty person!" Ning Ning Shimei Si protested on the other side: "Victory or defeat in a fight naturally waits until cultivation and magic power are improved before fighting back. How can there be a reason to bully people with power?"

"I have wronged junior sister! Anyway, being unreasonable is your privilege, so no one will suspect it!"

Now, Ning Ning Shimei Si agreed readily: "Since there is a reason, then I will be unreasonable once. To be honest, it's quite refreshing!"

Soon, the flying talisman dragged the spiritual light and brought something into the pavilion where Sima Rui was located.

Sima Rui reached out and took down the flying talisman. Seeing the things wrapped inside, he was happy at first, then unfolded the letter talisman and looked at it for a few times, and his face showed bitterness. Just when Wang Longxiang bid, Qian Chen saw him secretly glance at Wang Longxiang a few times, and his guilty conscience was even worse. Compared to Sima Yue, who was in power, he was actually more afraid of Wang Longxiang.

"This is beaten into submission!"

Qian Chen had always thought that his psychological shadow was just a reason for selling misery.

Now it seems that he was really wronged. He was actually beaten out of some shadows by Wang Longxiang, which made Qian Chen sigh that one should not look at the surface of things and guess wildly!

Sima Rui gritted his teeth and grabbed: "Eighty thousand San Shan talismans!"

His bid not only shocked the old servant on Wang Longxiang's side, but even Sima Yue on the other side frowned slightly. Sima Yue put down the teacup in his hand and doubted: "What is nineteenth doing?"

This Taibai lost sword was originally his collection, so naturally, he could bid as much as he wanted.

Originally, it was just to test Wang Longxiang and that Li-surnamed rogue cultivator once. He didn't expect that person to have no intention of bidding from beginning to end. Although he looked moved by the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword, he was really shy in his pockets and couldn't afford the price. On the contrary, Wang Longxiang's determination was unexpectedly firm.

Originally, Sima Yue guessed that the Wang family could bid up to sixty thousand at most, and he provoked it on purpose, not without the idea of inciting the Wang family to bid a high price and taking the opportunity to make a profit.

But the Wang family really bid a high price, and Sima Yue was in a dilemma.

He pretended to auction, and he also had to pay the contract money to Chaotian Palace, which was about 3% of the selling price. If he bought it back, it would be a pure loss of so much. 3% of sixty thousand San Shan talismans was acceptable, but if it doubled, it would make him look a bit stupid!

But if he sold it at such a high price, Sima Yue was a bit unwilling. The Wang family bid so resolutely, did they master information he didn't know? Could this Taibai lost sword hide other mysteries?

The biggest problem with smart people is that they think too much.

Sima Yue thought so, and was even more hesitant, but didn't dare to let go. He was silent for a moment, intending to force the two to raise the price higher first.

"Ninety thousand!"

"One hundred thousand!" Wang Longxiang bid the reserve price directly.

"One hundred and five thousand..." Sima Yue was gritting his teeth on the pavilion.

Wang Longxiang turned the teacup beside his hand, signaling to withdraw. Sima Yue's heart sank, finding that Wang Longxiang withdrew decisively, which made him unclear whether this was a trap set for him or Wang Longxiang's decision was decisive.

Fortunately, just as he was hesitating, Sima Rui said with a trembling voice: "One... one turn spirit pill!"

"What?" Everyone present was shocked.

Even Sima Yue couldn't help but look sideways. The field was quiet for a moment, and then there was an uproar.

"What is a one turn spirit pill?"

A Core Formation True Person below said solemnly: "The Supreme Dao Ancestor created the Nine Turn Alchemy Dao, and the Golden Pill Nine Turns to become the honor of the Dao Lord. It is rumored that in the Earth Immortal Realm, only the Doushuai Palace has obtained the alchemy inheritance of the Supreme Dao Ancestor and can refine this pill. The descendants of the Doushuai Palace have not appeared in the world for a long time, and this pill has not been seen in the world for many years!"

"This kind of divine object is rumored to have the power to mend the sky. Once the pill is formed, there is no regret. Wanting to make up for the foundation again is like mending the sky! This object is something that can mend the sky..."

All the Core Formation cultivators were excited.

Even the elder presiding over the treasure gathering hesitated for a long time before saying: "Prince Rui's status is noble, so naturally he will not bid randomly, but this one turn spirit pill is really different and the relationship is too great. I wonder if the Prince can show it?"

In the pavilion where Sima Rui was located, a group of golden light wrapped around an object and slowly fell in front of the elder.

The golden light dispersed, and the elder took the object to check. The expression on his face became more solemn. He looked at it carefully for a long time, and even used a magic eye pupil technique before reaching a conclusion.

"This object must also inform the treasure owner who auctioned the Master Chunyang One Qi Sword, and let him decide whether to exchange it! The price estimated by this market is roughly between 150,000 and 200,000 San Shan talismans!"

After saying that, he secretly transmitted to Sima Yue: "Prince of Donghai! Just take it when you see it! This handwriting is too big, this market can no longer afford it. If you want to exchange for spirit pills, it is a matter of one willing to fight and one willing to suffer, this market cannot stop it, but if you want to raise the price again, please forgive this market for not being able to accompany you!"

Sima Yue was silent on that side.

After a long time, his confident voice came from the pavilion: "I said why little nineteenth had the courage to compete with me, it turns out that sixteenth sister is supporting him from behind! She has a grudge against Wang Longxiang, and she is willful to block him. What can I, as a brother, say? Since sixteenth sister wants it, I, as a brother, can only let it go!"

After saying that, he turned the teacup and withdrew from the competition.

The people below were discussing again, and countless spiritual senses collided crazily in the void, almost colliding with electric light.

Some were asking who Princess Sixteenth was? Some were secretly sighing that the Sima family's remaining power was not falling! Others were talking about the various entanglements between Princess Qingcheng and Wang Longxiang...

In the past, Wang Yan talked and laughed to belittle Li Er's incarnation, and Princess Qingcheng stood up for him and bumped into Wang Yan; then Wang Longxiang slashed Jiankang with his sword and defeated the eight dragons of Sima; finally, Li Er rode a deer north, cut off Wang Yan's hair bun, slashed Longxiang with his sword on Zhu Que Bridge, and finally left gracefully under the suppression of the Nascent Soul ancestor.

It was counted like family treasures.

And coincidentally, the people who came to participate in the treasure gathering today were actually the parties involved in this series of legendary stories.

There were two clan sons of the Sima family who were defeated by Wang Longxiang; there was Wang Longxiang, who was unparalleled in the Southern Jin at the time; he slashed Jiankang with his sword and was mentioned in the world with Xie Lingyun, but finally lost to Li Er, whose traces were like snow mud and wild goose claws, appearing once and then drifting away.

There was also Princess Qingcheng, who stood up for Li Er, and the two joined forces to block the river in a battle, with a peerless style.

Even Qian Chen, who was watching the play leisurely on the side, was the Li Er who was said to be of strange background, a descendant of the famous Longxi Li family, who had disappeared for several years, and shocked the world when he appeared again!

The cultivators who came to participate in the treasure gathering today might not have bought anything they liked, but they all witnessed this series of good plays, which made them secretly sigh that the trip was not in vain. ===== CHAPTER 396 =====
