"Welcome fellow Taoists to Xiling City. Wu Yuanfang, the president of the Lower Xiling Chamber of Commerce, will host today's artifact appraisal meeting." A short, fat, middle-aged man walked up to the auction stage and raised his hands to bow.
, said to everyone with a smile on his face.
The hall immediately became quiet, and many people looked at Wu Yuanfang with awe or fear in their eyes.
Even though the president of the Xiling Chamber of Commerce is unattractive in appearance and his smile is more philistine than that of a businessman, anyone who knows a little bit about the Xiling Chamber of Commerce will know that his strength is unfathomable.
More than ten years ago, two foreign demonic cultivators, relying on Yuanying's peak cultivation level, ignored the Xiling Chamber of Commerce and had a fight at the auction. As a result, Wu Yuanfang kicked them out of the door.
Because he moved so fast, no one present noticed his strength. All he knew was that the two demon cultivators were seriously injured. They lay down for a long time and vomited an unknown amount of blood before they climbed out of Xiling City with difficulty.
But Wu Yuanfang continued to host the auction with a smile as if nothing had happened.
From then on, no one dared to cause trouble in the Xiling Chamber of Commerce. Even the Feng family and the Tian family, the two largest magic cultivating families in Xiling City, were polite to the president and did not dare to offend him in the slightest.
"Before the conference begins, I would like to introduce two distinguished guests to you, Master Jiang." Wu Yuanfang made an invitation gesture to the distinguished guest room next to him.
A thin old man with white beard and hair nodded slightly and walked into the hall.
"This Master Jiang is a guest invited by the Feng family. I don't think I need to introduce his origins," Wu Yuanfang said.
There was really no need for him to explain, because as soon as the old man appeared, many people in the hall already exclaimed in surprise.
This Master Jiang's name is Jiang Heguang. He is the most powerful weapon refiner in the Xiling City area. He is quite famous throughout Tiancang Continent. His name can be heard even in Dongyicheng, Fanghaocheng and other places.
Unexpectedly, the Feng family invited Master Jiang here. I heard that this man was aloof and had a weird temper. In order to invite him to come out, the Feng family did not know how much money they spent.
It seems that the Feng family is determined to win this weapon appraisal competition. Everyone secretly thought.
"Next, we invite Master Hong Yuanyuan. Master Hong is a guest invited by the Tian family. He was originally a disciple of the Ziyun Sect, but now he has established his own school. I think everyone has heard of his name, so I won't say more.
"Wu Yuanfang made an invitation gesture to another VIP room opposite, and another old man walked into the hall.
This time, everyone's reaction was much smaller.
Although Hong Yuanyuan is somewhat famous, he is still far inferior to Jiang Heguang.
Seeing that the weapon refiner invited by the Tian family was Hong Yuanyuan, Feng Chengzu and other members of the Feng family heaved a sigh of relief.
They heard that the Tian family had taken refuge with a powerful demon cultivator family. What they were most worried about was that the demon cultivator family would send people to help. Fortunately, what they worried about did not happen.
Although with the help of that magic cultivator family, the Tian family's strength will be greatly improved, at least in this weapon appraisal competition, the Feng family has the upper hand.
As long as they win this conference, the Feng family will have a chance to breathe. As long as they ask Master Gu and the Supreme Elder of the Long family for help, of course there is no need to fear another Tian family.
"I declare that this weapon appraisal conference has begun." When the two weapon refiners entered the hall, Wu Yuanfang announced loudly.
Afterwards, the first magic weapon that needed to be appraised was sent to the auction table by the maid.
This magical artifact is about half a foot tall and shaped like an ancient bell. It is scarred from top to bottom, and the runes engraved on it are also incomplete.
"Two masters have been invited to come on stage to observe. Others can also come on stage if they wish," Wu Yuanfang said.
Master Jiang and Master Hong did their part, walked onto the auction stage at the same time, and observed carefully.
There were also many weapon refiners or elders from aristocratic families who thought they had extraordinary vision in the audience who were eager to give it a try, but after hesitating for a while, they gave up the idea of going on stage.
That's all, Master Hong. Master Jiang is a well-known weapon-refining master. With him here, they wouldn't have the nerve to show their shame.
Gu Qingxi stood under the stage and looked at the magic weapon on the stage with focused eyes.
Soon, a look of dumbfounding appeared in her eyes: This is it, this is it... She thought that Xiling City's Weapon Appraisal Conference would be a great one, but she was still wondering if she would encounter an artifact left behind by any powerful person.
Even if you don't have a divine weapon, it would be nice to encounter a semi-magical weapon.
Who would have known that the magical artifact that the Xiling Chamber of Commerce took out for appraisal would actually be this kind of thing.
On the stage, Master Jiang and Master Hong were still leaning over to observe carefully, but Gu Qingxi was no longer interested in taking another look.
The two weapon refiners watched for a full quarter of an hour before finally straightening up.
"Two masters, have you found the results?" Wu Yuanfang asked.
"This...I am not good at studying, which makes you laugh." Master Hong wiped his forehead and said with shame.
Master Jiang looked solemn and said nothing.
"What about Master Jiang? I wonder if there is any identification result?" Wu Yuanfang asked.m
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the soul-killing bell left by Senior Yang Rushan." Master Jiang pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Senior Yang Rushan!"
"The Soul-Destroying Bell!" Everyone in the audience looked shocked.
Yang Rushan is also an ancient powerhouse who is well-known in history. Although he is not as good as the top ten heavenly kings, he is not far behind. The soul-killing bell is his body-protecting artifact. It is said that it was refined by a master of the art of weaponry at that time for three years.
made.
The Weapon Appraisal Conference has been held for so many years, and the most powerful magical weapons that have ever appeared are not of the highest quality. This is the first time that a semi-magical weapon has appeared!
"It's actually the Soul-Destroying Bell, it's the Soul-Destroying Bell." A middle-aged man said with joy, his voice trembling.
Obviously, this soul-killing clock belongs to him—at least it still belongs to him.
Although the Xiling Chamber of Commerce has some strength, it is impossible to obtain so many ancient magic weapons, so many magic weapons are entrusted by others to be appraised.
However, after the appraisal, there will be an auction. Unless the auction fails, the magic weapon will no longer have anything to do with the original owner.
"I'll offer three million spiritual stones." Before Wu Yuanfang announced the start of the auction, an old man shouted excitedly.
"Three and a half million." Another old man followed closely.
"four million."
"five million."
"..."
"Ten million."
The hall was boiling, and an elder from a famous family shouted excitedly.
But the most excited ones were not them, but the Feng family members headed by Feng Chengzu.
As expected of Master Jiang, this is just the first game, and he has identified a semi-artifact. As long as nothing happens, the Feng family will definitely win this appraisal meeting.
Although the Feng family spent five million spiritual stones to hire Master Jiang, it seems now that the money was well spent!
"Everyone, wait a minute. Although Master Jiang has identified the Soul-Destroying Bell, he doesn't know how damaged this magic weapon is, whether it can still be used for sacrifice, and whether it can be repaired?" Wu Yuanfang spoke again, signaling everyone to be calm.
