Chapter 117 - A Sky Full of Stars and Ancient Swords
Chapter 117: A Sky Full of Stars and Ancient Swords
A sword that cost 5,000 spiritual rocks to be resold for 100,000 spiritual rocks.
Only a fool would do such a thing.
“Interesting.” Changsun Su, an elite disciple of the Fenglin Sword Sect who was sitting in the front row, looked at Han Muye and whispered softly.
The people beside him had strange expressions.
A trace of excitement flashed across the pale Cao’e’s eyes, but she still shook her head.
“Second Miss, the sword I refined can’t be worth this price…” Behind Cao’e, a thin youth clenched his fists and whispered.
“I, I think of the Star Brilliance Stone as a Bright Moon Stone. This sword, I…”
The young man looked down, his face full of self-reproach.
After selling this sword for 5,000 spiritual rocks, the Cao Family made a loss of 5,000 spiritual rocks.
Cao’e turned around and said softly, “Cao Teng, Senior Brother Han is a genius. Perhaps he can really tell that the sword you refined is extraordinary.”
Among the younger generation of the Cao family, Cao Teng was the most intelligent and determined.
Even if this sword suffered a loss, it could not dispel his ambition.
“Yes, my sword has been tempered for a long time.” Cao Teng’s tone did not carry much confidence.
He looked at the platform, his eyes still filled with anticipation.
Perhaps there could be a miracle?
“100,000 spiritual rocks. This guy really dares to shout.” Shi Suntu, who was sitting in the distance, shook his head and muttered.
“100,000 spiritual rocks isn’t much. If Senior Brother Han really wants to make a move, just take it,” Bai Suzhen said calmly.
Manager He nodded and said, “Sure.”
Shi Suntu looked up at the two of them and opened his mouth without saying anything.
Suddenly, Lin Shen, who was sitting at the back, said, “Since Brother Han said that it’s worth 100,000 spiritual rocks, this sword must be worth 100,000 spiritual rocks.
Brother Han has never misjudged a sword.”
Bai Suzhen, Shi Suntu, and the others turned around and saw that Lin Shen’s eyes were shining and he did not have the slightest hesitation.
Sheng Ke, who was standing at the side, frowned and looked up at Han Muye on the stage.
Han Muye, who was holding a long sword, had been standing there for a while.
“Who are you selling 100,000 spiritual rocks to?” Finally, someone sneered.
“Even if the Star Brilliance Stone is worth tens of thousands of spiritual rocks, it’s impossible to sell the sword for 100,000.
You’ve really gone crazy thinking about spiritual rocks.”
There were not many fools in the cultivation world, but there were many lunatics.
There were many people who were crazy about cultivation, crazy about earning money, or crazy about love.
“Kid, I want this sword for 100,000 spiritual rocks.”
At that moment, an old voice came from one of the attics.
The noisy lobby fell silent again.
Did someone really bid 100,000 spiritual rocks?
Is that also a, a lunatic?
Below, Shi Suntu frowned and whispered, “Tao Ran? Madman Huo? Why is this guy here?”
“No, this kid is from the Nine Mystical Sword Sect. Is Tao Ran here to save the day?”
“Is he really protective, or does he value this kid’s ability?”
His voice was low, and Bai Suzhen, who was sitting beside him, did not hear him at all.
She looked up at the attic and shook her head. “It’s not without reason that this patriarch doesn’t have any connections.
Saving the situation at this time is more like undermining the situation.”
As expected, after Patriarch Tao Ran made his bid, there was silence below the stage for a while. Then no one spoke anymore.
Obviously, no one wanted to get involved.
On the stage, Han Muye, who was holding a sword, sighed inwardly.
The patriarch is a kind person.
That’s right, his judgment is really bad.
A moment later, Patriarch Tao Ran walked up to the stage and grinned at Han Muye.
At this moment, he was wearing a black robe and a hood that covered most of his face.
Not many people in the auction house could recognize him.
“Kid, give me the sword.” Patriarch Tao Ran extended his hand.
Since he said that he would accept the sword for 100,000 spiritual rocks, he naturally would not go back on his word.
Han Muye nodded and raised his sword, but didn’t let go.
“Senior, can you tell why I want 100,000 spiritual rocks for this sword?”
Patriarch Tao Ran’s expression froze.
I’m here to help you out. I’m just here to save the situation. Why are you so excited?
Patriarch Tao Ran shook his head.
Han Muye held the sword and said softly, “This sword uses Qingfeng Golden Steel as the base. Not only was it fused with 300 grams of Star Brilliance Stone, but it was also fused with 300 grams of Star Source Iron.”
“Star Source Iron? That seems to be a spiritual material for refining hidden weapons. What’s the use of fusing it into the sword?” Patriarch Tao Ran frowned.
The Star Source Iron was not considered valuable. It was only added when refining hidden weapons. It could eliminate the light and make hidden weapons more concealed.
There were too many protective spells in the cultivation world. Hidden weapons were rarely used.
“In the Dao of Weapon Refinement, there’s a method to smash it a hundred thousand times to fuse the Star Source Iron and the Star Brilliance Stone.
A hidden weapon refined using this method can fill the sky with stars.
Moreover, the Star Brilliance Stone will shine, and the Star Source Iron will sink. The two will fuse together and repel each other. They will become a sword and scatter into stars.
With the guidance of the sword qi, its starlight will shine within a hundred feet. It will be difficult for anyone to escape.”
Han Muye handed the long sword to Patriarch Tao Ran and said indifferently, “Senior, do you think this long sword that can transform into 3,000 stars is worth 100,000 spiritual rocks?”
3,000 stars, a radius of 100 feet. It will be difficult to escape.
Is there really such a method in the world?
Patriarch Tao Ran looked confused.
Below the stage, everyone had the same expression.
“Stars in the sky? It’s the Moon Shadow Sword Sect’s Myriad Transformations Flying Spirit Sword Technique, right? This kid really knows how to talk nonsense…”
Shi Suntu’s eyes lit up as he whispered.
“There’s really such a sword? Can it reach the battlefield realm? That’s really worth 100,000 spiritual rocks.” Bai Suzhen nodded and said softly.
100,000 spiritual rocks could only buy a good semi-spiritual artifact.
If this sword could reach the battlefield realm, it was naturally worth 100,000 spiritual rocks.
In the attic, the young man beside Cao’e was confused.
He was not the only one. Everyone in the Cao Family was stunned.
Do our Cao Family have such an inheritance?
Patriarch Tao Ran reached out and grabbed the sword Han Muye handed him.
He probed with his divine sense and frowned. “Kid, the 3,000 stars you mentioned—”
Before he could finish, Han Muye chuckled and said, “With Senior’s ability, isn’t it up to you to decide whether it’s 3,000 or 10,000 stars?”
Tao Ran shuddered.
“However, if this sword has 10,000 stars floating in the air, it won’t be sold for 100,000 spiritual rocks.
At least double it.”
Han Muye’s voice could be heard again
“Crush this sword and turn it into 10,000 star fragments? This is a delicate job.” Patriarch Tao Ran laughed, held the sword, and turned to walk down the stage.
Han Muye followed him down. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and looked at the owner of the Yuntao Immortal Pavilion.
“What I just said is true, right?”
The shopkeeper of the Yuntao Immortal Pavilion nodded and said, “Such a sword-shattering technique exists in the legacy sword technique of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect.
Most of the Western Frontier Star Brilliance Stones were taken by them.”
The cultivation level of the shopkeeper of the Yuntai Immortal Pavilion was not high. But as the person in charge of the Yuntai Dao Sect here and the host of this auction, he would definitely not lie.
Even when Han Muye returned to his seat, the auction had yet to resume.
Some people whispered, some were confused, and more people turned to look at Han Muye.
“No wonder this person is traveling with Miss Bai. Isn’t turning rotten wood into a magical method like turning stone into gold?”
A sword that cost 5,000 spiritual rocks was sold for 100,000 spiritual rocks.
How many times was the difference?
Moreover, from what he said just now, there was still room for improvement?
“Senior Brother Han, can this sword really transform into stars that fill the sky?” Bai Suzhen asked curiously after Han Muye sat down.
“Sure, it just needs a powerhouse who has cultivated sword intent to slowly polish it,” Han Muye said calmly.
An expert who had cultivated sword intent would slowly polish it.
Bai Suzhen covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
A powerhouse who had cultivated sword intent would probably spend more than 100,000 spiritual rocks to polish it.
With Han Muye’s interruption and the auction, the atmosphere in the venue was a little strange.
Even if the quality of the swords sold by the Cao Family was really bad, they were still sold for a good price.
This made the young men of the Cao Family beam.
Cao’e sat there with a strange expression.
“Today, I was fortunate enough to obtain two top-grade pills from Miss Bai.”
“Cloud Qi Pill, top-grade. The starting price is 8,000 spiritual rocks.”
“Spirit Fusion Pill, top-grade. The starting price is 15,000 spiritual rocks.”
As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, countless bids could be heard.
Han Muye felt a solemn gaze staring at him from above.
Beside him, Bai Suzhen bowed and said, “Senior Brother Han, I really have no choice. Shopkeeper Lu’s price is quite high…
80%, 80% of the profits will go to you, Senior Brother. How about that?”
These two pills finally sold for 50,000 spiritual rocks.
Han Muye calculated that he would earn nearly 40,000 spiritual rocks with two pills.
It was okay.
However, he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Patriarch Tao Ran.
“Do you know how to refine pills?” Beside him, Shi Suntu looked at Han Muye, then looked up at the attic.
Instantly, Han Muye felt the gaze on him disappear.
“As a low-level sword cultivator, how can I not know how to refine pills?”
“I heard that when Ancestor Tao Ran of the Nine Mystical Sword Sect first entered the sect, he used alchemy to supplement his Sword Dao.”
Han Muye spoke softly.
Unfortunately, there was no response from above.
His flattery had hit the nail on the head.
“The Dao of Alchemy and the Sword?
Tao Ran, Patriarch?”
Shi Suntu nodded.
Ahead, on the stage, another treasure was delivered.
“Green Spirit Bamboo Root. This thing can be the main ingredient for many medicinal pills.
I believe this item doesn’t need much introduction. The starting price is 3,000 spiritual rocks.”
The shopkeeper of the Yuntai Immortal Pavilion placed the bamboo root on the wooden platform and took a step back.
This treasure was not like a sword or medicinal pill. Its value was almost fixed.
In just a moment, the price of this bamboo root reached 5,000 spiritual rocks.
At this moment, no one else bid.
“How about giving this bamboo root to the Mu family’s patriarch?” Han Muye, who had not bid yet, suddenly asked.
Hearing his words, Bai Suzhen nodded and raised her hand. “I want this.”
He would take it.
No bid was made.
The cultivator who had offered 5,000 spiritual rocks turned around. His expression changed and he was about to speak when he was stopped by the person beside him.
“Brother, forget it. Do you know what Miss Bai’s famous saying is?”
“I don’t know about anything outside the Western Border. There’s nothing I can’t buy.”
That person opened his mouth and finally sat down gloomily.
Bai Suzhen waved her hand. Sheng Ke, who was behind her, walked onto the stage and brought over the green spirit bamboo root.
It was as simple as that.
Han Muye naturally accepted the bamboo root.
This was what Bai Suzhen said she would help him get.
“Senior Brother Han, there are a few good swords in the auction today. Can you help me take a look later?”
As the carriage started, Bai Suzhen looked at Han Muye and whispered.
Han Muye nodded.
Choosing a sword was his forte.
“The next item is an ancient sword.
From an ancient cultivator’s cave abode.”
Mo Yuan’s words made Han Muye’s eyes light up.
He liked such things. It didn’t matter if they were expensive or not. He just wanted them to be ancient.
