59: Nine Dragons Sword Light
Brother Wu Ying, who had just been kicked, was completely dazed.
What exactly was going on?
His boss was considered a tough character in the Treasure Hunting Circle whom no one dared to provoke.
Why would Qin Yun, who had only recently joined the industry, know a big shot from the Auction House?
Seeing that his boss was very wary of Arnold, Brother Wu Ying hurriedly scrambled up to apologize.
"It was my fault. I should behave myself and not speak so arrogantly."
"I won't dare to be disrespectful to Qin Yun ever again!"
Brother Wu Ying stole a glance at Qin Yun with eyes full of hatred, then humbly apologized to Arnold.
He still couldn't believe that Qin Yun knew such a powerful figure.
And it was a big shot related to Warehouse Auction; he relied on Warehouse Auction for a living, so he had no choice but to bow his head.
The Fat Boss glared at Brother Wu Ying and then quickly walked over to Arnold.
"It was my lack of discipline that offended the distinguished guest."
"Don't worry, I will definitely discipline this blind fool properly later."
The fat man said a few pleasantries with a smile and promised Arnold he would keep a close eye on Brother Wu Ying so his subordinate wouldn't cause any more trouble.
Although he wasn't particularly afraid of Arnold, he couldn't afford to offend a big shot like him for an insignificant subordinate like Brother Wu Ying.
Besides, his subordinate was in the wrong, and they were on someone else's turf; apologizing was the best choice.
Seeing their sincere attitude in admitting their mistake, Arnold gave a cold snort.
"It's good that you know. Those who follow the rules are more welcome at auctions."
"If there's a next time, you'll be blacklisted from the auctions."
After reprimanding the two, Arnold walked over to Qin Yun's side.
"Don't mind these people. Let's go check the warehouse."
Hearing Arnold's lecture, Brother Wu Ying and the fat man didn't dare to act up and quickly bowed their heads in apology.
"We won't do it again."
"There definitely won't be a next time."
Qin Yun was very satisfied with their apologies and Arnold's lecture.
With this lesson, Brother Wu Ying certainly wouldn't dare to look for trouble with him recently.
He had the Profound Vision Treasure Eye; what he needed most was time.
In a few months, he would become a leader among Treasure Hunters, accumulating more money and connections.
By then, neither Brother Wu Ying nor the boss behind him would be a threat.
"Alright, I can't wait to see what treasures are in the warehouse."
Qin Yun was very curious now if his judgment was correct.
If the blade of the nine dragons precious sword was really inside, this warehouse being worth over a million US dollars wouldn't be a problem.
Arriving at his warehouse, the door was opened, and a room full of weapons came into view.
Various weapons with exaggerated and strange shapes were placed on wooden racks.
There was also a wooden crate nearby, containing decorative tools: leather, hilts, rivets, wooden strips, whetstones... Everyone present was curious about what good things would be in this warehouse.
Whether there were high-quality swords or movie props with commemorative value.
Seeing that the weapons displayed were mainly practical, many people showed mocking smiles.
"This warehouse isn't all that. Even if these weapons are high quality, they won't sell for much. Selling them for a hundred thousand or so would be impressive."
"This kid is definitely going to lose money. Buying this warehouse for 600,000 dollars—he's definitely a sucker!"
"The newcomers participating in these auctions are getting worse and worse. They have no skill, but they act all high and mighty. It seems they still need some tempering."
"The owner of this warehouse only has a little fame. It's not worth that much money at all. He doesn't even understand such an obvious truth. This guy's skill is even worse than Brother Wu Ying's."
"I think this guy got in through the back door. With his level, he definitely wouldn't meet the minimum standard to participate in this auction!"
...Qin Yun had gained some small fame in the Treasure Hunting Circle recently. Someone recognized him and explained to the people around them.
"He's the Eastern Kid who's been making waves lately. He's recently bought many good things, like a harley motorcycle, antique furniture, a gold nugget, Jackson's manuscript and Dance Costumes, and so on. His ability is extraordinary; there might really be something good in this warehouse."
"I've been following the Eastern Kid's news lately. There's a high probability of finding treasure when he makes a move. I think this warehouse might not be simple."
"I believe in the Eastern Kid's ability. There must be a treasure in this warehouse that everyone else missed."
Hearing the explanation from those who knew Qin Yun, people who originally had little hope for the warehouse began to look it over carefully.
They wanted to find out what valuable treasure was inside.
Qin Yun's goal was the blade of the nine dragons precious sword, so he didn't even look closely at the weapons hanging there.
Looking at the styles, these Western-style weapons with exaggerated shapes were definitely not the nine dragons precious sword.
Then, the storage place for the nine dragons precious sword must be in this crate.
Thinking of this, he immediately began to clear out the crate.
Finally, he found something wrapped tightly in cloth strips, which seemed to be a sword.
Qin Yun's heart began to beat violently.
He had a feeling that the object wrapped in cloth was the true form of the nine dragons precious sword.
Carefully unwrapping the cloth, it was indeed a sword, with a temporary scabbard made of birch wood, and the hilt was in a Chinese style.
Seeing the carvings and inlaid gems on the hilt.
Qin Yun confirmed it in an instant.
This sword was the nine dragons precious sword!
The people around, seeing Qin Yun holding the longsword carefully,
thought it would be an antique or something similar.
Unexpectedly, after all that effort, he just pulled out a modern-processed longsword.
Looking at the scabbard, it was made of the most common birch wood, without any fine carving.
The scabbard was worth a 100 dollars at most.
With such a scabbard, the longsword inside wouldn't be very valuable either.
Seeing this, everyone sighed one after another.
"I thought it would be something good, but it turns out to be a cold weapon that doesn't even count as a modern handicraft. Even if that sword is well-made, it won't have much value."
"The Eastern Kid is bound to lose money. The longsword he's eyeing definitely won't exceed 10,000 dollars. Buying this warehouse for 600,000 dollars seems like a huge loss!"
"The Eastern Kid seems to be nothing special after all. I thought a miracle would happen, but he just found such a simple longsword. If he wants to break even with that sword, he's dreaming!"
"He's standing there motionless; is it because he can't accept the failure? This generation of the young man is really not good. Not only do they lack vision, but they don't even have a good mindset. This kind of person won't go far in the Warehouse Auction business."
...Those who had favored the Eastern Kid and believed in Qin Yun's ability earlier were all silent now.
None of the Treasure Hunters on the scene believed that the longsword in Qin Yun's hand would be very valuable.
On the side, Brother Wu Ying and the Fat Boss were very happy to see Qin Yun staring blankly at an ordinary longsword.
It seemed they weren't the only ones losing money in this Warehouse Auction.
This kid wasn't all that either. This warehouse was bought for 600,000 dollars; maybe he'd lose even more than they did.
Thinking of their enemy's misfortune, the two felt very satisfied.
If it weren't for Arnold being there, the two would have shouted out loud already.
Qin Yun was not affected by the people around him at all.
How could these people know the power of the nine dragons precious sword?
He slowly drew the longsword, wanting to see the wonders of the nine dragons precious sword.
Hearing the ring of the sword, the people outside felt a chill and found that the blade actually attracted all the light around it.
Just then, light shone in, and the sword light immediately filled the warehouse.
