The Six Immortals Chapter 144

Chapter 144 – The Green Bladed Sword

 

Three million can be regarded as a pretty high price for that Dragon Scale s.h.i.+eld, but was still quite likely to be revamped soon.

“I will give four million spars.” The Tian Shui Sect placed their bid once again, and raised the price by a straight one million spars, clearly indicating their spending power.

Bi Fan and Jing Feng were staring in awe. Bi Fan, especially, had been carrying the idea that he was quite rich, after the fortunes that he collected in the Devil’s Abyss, but now, he was beginning to realize just exactly how poor he was in reality.

“This is crazy!” Bi Fan exclaimed: “That s.h.i.+eld isn’t worth that much; I don’t understand why they are fighting so much over it.”

Bi Fan couldn’t help but think of the time when he had visited the Tian Feng valley, and had picked up the soft armor. Even though the soft armor’s core didn’t have a nucleus at the moment, but it was capable of having one inscribed. If he managed to inscribe the armor with a nucleus, and then put it up for auction here, he’d definitely be able to sell it for over one million spars.

However, that armor was his life insurance policy, and he wouldn’t put it up for an auction unless he had a better one.

“That’s a pretty good s.h.i.+eld, and even the ‘Emerging from the Womb’ layer martial artists don’t usually have such a high grade defense equipment. Even the elders of some sects aren’t able to obtain such items for personal use.” Jing Feng smiled.

Jing Feng was quite envious at the moment. This dragon scaled s.h.i.+eld would work perfectly with his Hegemon Pike, and would make him even harder to beat.

“Five million spars.” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng raised the bid, as he demonstrated that he was capable of spending the money.

“Five point five million spars.” Ling Xin Ya unexpectedly placed a bid.

As long as the Wu Ji Sect was bidding, Ling Xin Ya wouldn’t reconcile to submitting either.

Luo Xiao Tian stared at Ling Xin Ya to express his dissatisfaction, since Ling Xin Ya had placed the bid without his approval.

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng fiercely stared at Ling Xin Ya as he placed a new bid: “The Wu Ji Sect bids six million spars for the Dragon scaled s.h.i.+eld.”

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng’s face was becoming more and more fierce, but no one seemed to be scared of him.

“Six point one-five million spars.” The rising sun Sect also got involved again.

“Seven million spars!” The Tian Shui Sect placed another bid.

Out of the top-five Sects, only the City’s Sect wasn’t bidding, while the other four continued to battle each other, and the price of the item soon crossed ten million spars.

Ten million spars were enough to buy even the best of items in the open market, and was far too much for this dragon scaled s.h.i.+eld.

At this point, only the Tian Shui Sect and the Wu Ji Sect were competing for the item. The Tian Shui Sect wasn’t allowing the Wu Ji Sect to buy the s.h.i.+eld, and would add another five hundred thousand spars to their bid, each and every time, to show their interest in the s.h.i.+eld.

“Eleven million spars!” Xuan Yuan Feng said in a cold tone. If eyes could kill, then he’d have extinguished the Tian Shui Sect a long time ago.

“Eleven point five million spars.” Tian Shui’s deputy, Hong Fei Hu said in a flat voice.

Although her tone was dull, it didn’t mean that she wasn’t interested in the s.h.i.+eld. (Gender isn’t clear, but there’s a slight indication that Hong Fei Hu is a female.)

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng gritted his teeth and said: “I’ll go for twelve million spars.”

“Twelve point five million spars.”

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng clenched his teeth as he said in an undertone: “Tian Shui Sect, I’ll let you have this Dragon scale s.h.i.+eld, but the final item, the ‘spirit’ grade weapon, is mine to take.”

As Xuan Yuan Ling Feng abandoned the pursuit of the s.h.i.+eld, the heads of the Sects started looking around to check if someone else was also interested in the item, but no seemed to show any further interest.

“Twelve point five million spars, going once!” Long Xiang Tian paused for a second, since he was still hoping that someone would make another bid.

“Twelve point five million, going twice!”

“Twelve point five millions, going thrice! The Dragon scale s.h.i.+eld goes to the Tian Shui Sect!” Long Xiang Tian announced in a loud voice.

Hong Fei Hu just smiled, but didn’t show her excitement.

It was very vital for the top five sects to procure such powerful equipment, because each addition item would add to the power of their a.r.s.enal, and could help them in outdoing their rivals.

Hong Fei Hu’s indifferent expression was a rare sight inside this intensely emoted hall.

“The top-five Sects have really deep pockets. It seems that the last three items will also go to them, while we can only watch and envy them.”

“The ‘Spirit’ weapon will be reserved for the last; I just want to get one look at it.”

With just three items left in the auction, the top-five sects were beginning to make their final calculations. The leaders of these Sects were eyeing each other, as they prepared to make their compet.i.tion bleed.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, as the auction continues without any delays, I present to you the Green Bladed Sword. The price is reserved at one million spars, please make your bids.” Long Xiang Tian could sense the antic.i.p.ation in the room, and decided against delaying the proceedings.

It’s best to strike when the iron is hot. The atmosphere in the hall was very positive for registering high selling prices.

The Green Bladed sword was a fine double-edged sword. Its const.i.tuent metal was hard to guess, but the sword was extremely light, and extremely sharp. This kind of a sword was perfect for the Quinyang Sect disciples, since it would complement their martial skills very nicely.

Luo Xiao Tian became very excited the moment he laid eyes on the weapon, and the moment Long Xiang Tian finished, he placed the first bid: “Five millions spars!”

Luo Xiao Tian had immediately placed a very steep bid, which clearly reflected his determination to capture the weapon.

Lin Xin Ya whispered: “Wise elder, be sure to seize the green bladed sword, we can give up the ‘spirit’ weapon if need be.”

“You don’t need to tell me, I know how to handle these affairs.” Everyone knew that Luo Xiao Tian and Ling Xin Ya weren’t on the best of terms, so no one was surprised to hear Luo Xiao Tian’s words.

Since Luo Xiao Tian is the designated leader of the delegation, Ling Xin Ya remained silent. This wasn’t the time or the place to fight over such matters, and he was content on waiting to settle this dispute in a more private atmosphere.

“Six million spars!” Since the Quinyang Sect was making a bid, the Ba Gua Sect was bound to act as well.

In financial terms, there was a huge gap between the Ba Gua and the Quinyang Sect, but that wouldn’t stop them from raising the prices of the items that the Quinyang Sect wanted, as they wanted to make things more difficult for the Quinyang Sect.

“Six point five million spars!”

“Six point eight million spars!”

 

…

 

“Eight million spars!” Luo Xiao Tian calmly placed another bid.

Although this sword was not as rare or precious as the Dragon scale s.h.i.+eld, but it was undoubtedly more suited for the Quinyang Sect’s martial style, hence making it more valuable to the Sect than the previous item.

“Eight point five million spars!” Xuan Yuan Ling Feng wasn’t going to allow the Quinyang Sect to register an easy victory here.

As the prices continued to soar, Yan Yu Si looked on with a dull expression on her face, while Bi Fan, Jing Feng and the others looked on in sheer amazement.

They all wanted to get their hands on the Green Bladed Sword, but even if the Quinyang Sect managed to procure the weapon, the Sect probably wouldn’t allow them use it.

“Ten million spars!” Luo Xiao Tian unashamedly raised the bid again; he was determined to win this one.

The City’s Sect could see the determination on the faces of the Quinyang Sect delegation, and had decided to stay out of this one. But, in terms of financial power, only the Wu Ji Sect had the capability to match them.

Since the price had already crossed ten million spars, even Xuan Yuan Ling Feng was being a little careful. His main goal to obtain the ‘spirit’ weapon, and if he ended up spending too much money on these items, then he may have to give up on his real target.

If one top-grade weapon is capable of enhancing a martial Sect’s power, then a ‘Spirit’ realm weapon, even if it is a damaged one, is sure to add a huge amount of extra fire power to Sect’s a.r.s.enal.

Irrespective of the condition of the weapon, a ‘spirit’ realm weapon is still a ‘spirit’ realm weapon.

However, in order to cripple the Quinyang Sect’s chances of competing for the final prize, Xuan Yuan Ling Feng decided to raise the prices once again.

“Eleven million spars!”

The green bladed sword’s auction price had already reached a very steep number, which is why the Tian Shui and the Rising Sun Sects were already out of the compet.i.tion.

“Eleven point five million spars!” Luo Xiao Tian’s forehead was already sweating, while his teeth were clenched as he made another bid.

They needed to add more weapons to their a.r.s.enal, which is why he didn’t want to miss this opportunity. On top of that, this weapon was extremely suitable for the Quinyang Sect, due to its make.

Xuan Yuan Ling Feng was looking hesitant, and couldn’t make up his mind about placing another bid.
