9: Beast Bone Sword in Hand

Chen Xian did not get up, continuing to breathe and absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright with daylight.

Among today's three pieces of intelligence, the one that needed to be handled in the morning was the Duobao Pavilion auction.

Right now, he had over seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones.

He could be described as wealthy and influential.

He decisively changed to another mask and headed straight for Duobao Pavilion!

At the same time.

The auction venue was already packed with people.

Chen Xian was no stranger to this phenomenon; more accurately, his body was no stranger to it.

After all, before his original self died, he was a frequent guest here!

To win a smile from Liu Ruyan, the original owner had spent money like water.

After Chen Xian walked in, he sat in the very back. His idea was simple: if he was targeted after buying something, it might be easier for him to escape.

However, just as he took his seat,

He heard a burst of cheers from not far away.

Looking up, he saw Liu Ruyan walking in. As soon as this woman entered, the female Cultivators present were instantly overshadowed.

The male Cultivators' eyes looked as if they wanted to grow onto her body!

“Is this the Liu Family's Genius, Liu Ruyan? She really is breathtakingly beautiful!”

“Tsk, it's a pity that simp Chen Xian isn't here. Otherwise, breathing the same air as Liu Ruyan, that grandson would probably take a top-tier deep breath!”

Chen Xian: “...”

Was I really that perverted before?

Just after Liu Ruyan walked in surrounded by a crowd, he saw another pair of 'acquaintances'.

It was Ye Wentian and Zi Yun!

At this moment, Chen Xian couldn't help but marvel at the power of fate.

He had snatched Ye Wentian's so-called Opportunity and saved Zi Yun, yet fate still forced the two of them to meet again.

Especially seeing the lingering glances between them.

Chen Xian almost had a heart attack.

Damn it, that Zi Yun woman.

I kindly saved you, and as a result, you fell in love with someone else?

It's really quite annoying.

But after just one glance, Chen Xian quickly turned his head away.

Because he noticed Zi Yun seemed to be looking toward him as well.

“What's wrong?”

Ye Wentian asked with great concern.

“Nothing, I just felt a familiar gaze!”

Zi Yun looked around alertly, and finding nothing unusual, she walked toward the front row with Ye Wentian.

Before long, the seats were gradually filled.

On the high stage, an old man in green robes walked out.

Chen Xian took a look—oh, another old acquaintance. It was the old geezer from when he first transmigrated and wanted a refund.

The green-robed old man stood on the high stage and said with a smile, “Welcome everyone to the Duobao Pavilion auction. I am the host for this auction, Sun Chuan!”

“Without further ado, we are about to present the first treasure of this auction!”

“The first treasure of Duobao Pavilion—the void spirit staff!”

The moment everyone saw the staff, they cried out in surprise!

“Holy crap, Duobao Pavilion's business spans the five continents, I didn't expect them to have this ultimate treasure!”

“The void spirit staff is an Innate ultimate treasure from the ancient era. It was once the weapon of a powerhouse at the Undergoing Tribulation stage. To think it would appear here!”

“Rumor has it this weapon is versatile in both offense and defense, effective at long and short range, and combines the strengths of a hundred weapons! It's even engraved with countless Formations; a Formation can be activated with a flick of a finger...”

Seeing everyone's reaction, Sun Chuan revealed a slight smile.

“Starting price, five hundred thousand Spirit Stones!”

Regarding this, Chen Xian didn't even blink.

It wasn't that the item wasn't good, but rather that such an Innate treasure wasn't something he could touch.

First, he didn't have that many Spirit Stones!

Second, even if he did win the bid, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it!

As expected.

The noisy hall fell silent for a moment, and then an old man said gloomily, “One million Spirit Stones!”

“One and a half million Spirit Stones!”

“Two million...”

The bidding voices rose one after another.

In the end, this void spirit staff was auctioned off for five million Spirit Stones.

Amidst the heated discussion of the crowd, Sun Chuan continued to auction the second treasure.

As one treasure after another was auctioned off,

Chen Xian began to yawn.

At the same time, he began to feel a little apprehensive—the System couldn't have made a mistake this time, right?

Just then.

Sun Chuan's voice reached his ears.

“Next, I will introduce the tenth treasure of this auction—the Twelve Beast Bone Swords!”

On the high stage, twelve swords caught everyone's eyes.

Every sword was as white as jade, yet they looked eerie and full of Yin Qi.

“The beast bone swords are crafted from beast bones. Although these Twelve Beast Bone Swords are not of high quality, they are incredibly hard and are excellent for low-level Sword Cultivators to practice with!”

“Starting price, fifty thousand Spirit Stones!”

Hearing the price, Chen Xian breathed a sigh of relief.

Before he could bid, several young Sword Cultivators offered prices one after another, though they only increased by ten thousand at a time.

When Chen Xian saw the price reach one hundred and ten thousand, almost no one called out anymore.

He decisively made his move.

“One hundred and twenty thousand!”

“One hundred and thirty thousand!”

Oh?

Competing with me in wealth?

Chen Xian continued to shout, “Two hundred thousand!”

As soon as these words were spoken,

The Sword Cultivator who had just bid looked at Chen Xian with unwilling eyes!

With the price of two hundred thousand, he successfully won the beast bone swords, but he also received a series of looks as if they were watching an idiot.

“Brother Wentian, wasn't your sword stolen? Why didn't you bid for these to defend yourself?”

Facing Zi Yun's question, Ye Wentian said with a smile, “These beast bone swords are worth a hundred thousand Spirit Stones at most. Buying them for two hundred thousand is simply being a sucker!”

As he spoke, he gave Chen Xian, who was collecting the swords, a meaningful look.

To this, Chen Xian only sneered in his heart.

Idiot.

Your sword was snatched by this young master.

As for you, if you knew that one of these was made from the remains of an Congenital Giant Python, forget a hundred thousand, you would have paid a million without hesitation.

Among Yao Beasts and treasures, the Innate rank is supreme.

The Congenital Giant Python is a powerful existence among Yao Beasts; a beast bone sword made from its remains would likely have startling power.

Although he didn't know why Duobao Pavilion hadn't recognized this sword, allowing him to pick up a bargain,

He had indeed scored a huge deal.

He took the Twelve Beast Bone Swords into his possession.

Chen Xian quickly left the place. Naturally, after stepping out of Duobao Pavilion, a yellow figure appeared before him.

Da Huang wagged its tail, looking quite cocky.

“My ancestor, Ye Wentian has entered Jubei City. You better hurry up and change your appearance; I don't want to be hunted down along with you!”

Da Huang let out a low growl, as if to say, isn't that all because of you?

It shook its fur.

Soon, its coat turned black.

Following Chen Xian, it swaggered away from the street.

At this time, Ye Wentian led Zi Yun and the others out of the auction.

When they saw that figure, Ye Wentian and Zi Yun both froze for a moment almost simultaneously.

The same thought occurred to both of them—it looks too similar!
