Chapter 1,368: One knife makes one rich, one knife makes one poor
"Thank you for coming to the gambling conference. On behalf of Dragon Palace, I welcome you all."
Ao Xuan is wearing a black dragon robe, showing his domineering attitude.
But this time those who came were all deities and saints.
Therefore, he must be the one to host this auction.
At this time Ao Xuan spoke and the whole place fell silent.
Even Jin Tianzun.
I had to go back to my seat again.
And his seat was actually not far from Xiao Changfeng.
At this time, Jin Tianzun was still grinning, revealing his big gold teeth.
"This time I have prepared a total of 1,153 lots. Without further ado, the auction has officially begun."
Obviously this is not the first time Ao Xuan has hosted an auction.
After saying a few opening remarks.
Just get to the point quickly.
Boom!
I saw Saint Cloud Whale carrying a three-meter-high black stone onto the auction stage.
The black stone is as black as ink.
It's like black charcoal and infected by ink.
But it's not solid, but in the shape of jelly.
"Master Xiao, this is deep sea scale!"
Yu Tianzun introduced in a low voice.
This jelly-like black stone is the deep sea scale that wraps countless ancient relics.
Although it doesn't smell fishy, it can block all prying eyes.
Even spiritual consciousness cannot penetrate it.
However, the ancient relics at auction are not all a gamble.
It is a half-cut black stone.
Only the tip of a palm-sized knife was seen emerging from the black stone.
The tip of the knife was cold and cold, exuding a faint silver light.
A breathtaking sword intent.
Sweeping like a raging tide.
It made everyone in the venue shiver and have goosebumps all over their bodies.
It was as if there was a peerless magic sword lying in front of him.
To split the sky and cut off the universe.
Obviously.
The tip of this knife is indeed an ancient relic.
And the quality is extremely high, definitely not an ordinary Tianzun weapon.
However, only the tip of the knife is revealed in the black stone.
As for the other parts, they are in the black stone.
Completely undetectable.
"This sword should be a middle-grade Tianzun weapon. The material it is forged from is the extremely rare Nine Heavens Black Iron. In this black stone, maybe the entire blade. Friends who use swords will not be disappointed. Let's start shooting.
Price: ten dragon chips!"
Ao Xuan smiled and spoke loudly.
The sound echoed throughout the venue, allowing everyone to hear clearly.
Ten dragon chips equal tens of millions of spiritual stones.
This price is too high for the many deities and saints present.
Not too high, but not too little either.
The key is whether there are more blades in this black stone.
Not to mention the complete blade, even half the blade is still profitable.
But if there is nothing in the black stone but the blade.
Then it won't be of much use.
Therefore, everyone did not bid quickly, but was observing and thinking.
Ao Xuan was not in a hurry, standing on the auction stage and waiting quietly.
"Eleven!"
Finally someone made an offer.
But it was Tang Yueming of the Northern Tang Sect.
The Northern Tang Dynasty was famous for its hidden weapons and poisons.
Regardless of whether there are more blades in this black stone.
But with this blade tip alone, if it is re-forged, a good hidden weapon can be forged.
Therefore, Tang Yueming did not continue to wait and see.
"Thirteen roots!"
But obviously there are not a few people who are interested in the tip of this knife.
Soon a second voice sounded.
The most important thing about the so-called gambling conference is the word gambling.
No one wants to fall behind others.
What if more blades could be produced?
People with this kind of lucky mentality are very quick.
"Fourteen!"
"Sixteen!"
"I'll give you twenty!"
Soon the price climbed rapidly.
Xiao Changfeng did not choose to take action, and Yu Tianzun was not interested in this either.
On the contrary, Tian Yaozun shouted the price twice.
However, in the end, Tang Yueming successfully bought it for thirty-seven dragon chips.
"Sect Master Tang, do you want to perform an autopsy on the spot?"
Ao Xuan asked after receiving Tang Yueming's thirty-seven dragon chips.
"open!"
Tang Yueming pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
Soon Ao Xuan took out a special bone knife.
"This layer of deep sea scale is quite special. Although it can be cut open with other weapons, it is difficult to completely clean it, and it is very difficult. On the contrary, the cuttlefish bones taken out from the cuttlefish body can be cut open easily."
Yu Tianzun opened his mouth to explain to Xiao Changfeng.
At this time, Ao Xuan was holding a cuttlefish bone knife in his hand, in the expectant eyes of everyone.
Slowly cut through the black stone.
Suddenly it was cut open as easily as a knife cutting through tofu.
The deep sea scale was cut open layer by layer, but the scene that Tang Yueming expected did not appear inside.
"Hey, what a loss!"
Someone in the crowd sighed.
This three-meter-long black stone was finally cut open.
Apart from the tip, there is only a little bit of the blade.
Obviously the bet was a loss this time.
Although the tip of this knife is good, it is of little use after all, so it can only be recast in the furnace.
Compared with the transaction price of thirty-seven dragon chips, this is naturally slightly insufficient.
But at least it has this sharp edge.
The loss is not too big.
This is also a characteristic of semi-gambling.
The risk is small and the return is small.
Tang Yueming's face looked a little ugly.
He put away the tip of the knife and returned to his seat.
"One knife makes you rich and one knife makes you poor. This is the charm of the gambling convention!"
Yu Tianzun spoke slowly.
Obviously, the nature of this kind of gambling is what makes people flock to it.
"Although the result of the auction just now was not satisfactory, don't worry, there will be valuable treasures next."
Ao Xuan calmed down the atmosphere and spoke again.
Soon the second lot appeared on the auction block.
The defeat at the tip of the knife did not affect everyone's enthusiasm.
But the second lot was made from gambling.
The next lot appeared one by one.
Everyone bid enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was extremely heated.
Some people make money from gambling, and some people lose money from gambling!
Xiao Changfeng was sitting in his seat and did not participate in the bidding.
It’s just from the cutting of rocks again and again.
Xiao Changfeng faintly discovered a secret.
"This so-called deep sea scale is man-made!"
Xiao Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly and guessed the truth.
Among the scale, there are faint and invisible patterns.
These formation patterns are few in number and extremely hidden.
Unless someone has extremely high attainments in battle tactics, they would never be able to discover it.
Even if it's Xiao Changfeng.
It was only after seeing hundreds of black stones cut open that I gradually became aware of it.
Xiao Changfeng believed it.
Even Ao Xuan didn't discover this secret.
After all, although Ao Xuan is a Sanxian, people from the Dragon Clan are generally not good at formations.
"But these things have been handed down from ancient times. Could it be that they were left by some people in ancient times?"
Xiao Changfeng frowned slightly, wondering in his heart.
Although these deep sea scales are man-made.
But it’s not what people do now.
Rather, it leads directly to ancient times.
But what is the purpose of doing this?
Xiao Changfeng couldn't get an answer for a while.
But he went through this rudimentary analysis.
It is possible to detect the internal conditions of the black stone through this layer of deep sea scale.
"Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it!"
Xiao Changfeng's eyes sparkled.
He decided to bid for an ancient relic to prove whether he could really detect the situation inside the black stone.
If successful.
All the ancient relics here will no longer be secrets to him!
