Xuan Xing had spent a lot of effort to study the two identical jade pendants, but other than that strange feeling, he could not find anything special about them. Helplessly, Xuan Xing could only put this matter aside for the time being and explore it again in the future.
Xuan Xing and Qian Yuan were sitting in the VIP room on the third floor of the auction house. They didn't expect that they could have a private room with the VIP card, so they didn't have to stay in the crowded hall anymore.
A month soon passed, but Xuan Xing still hadn't found anything he liked. However, he still managed to buy some high-grade forging materials and medicinal herbs for alchemy.
Today was the last day of the auction. Xuan Xing and Qian Yuan both hoped that something good would appear today. There were at least 3,000 people here today. The two of them were glad that they could have a separate room.
"Everyone, the next item we are going to auction is a low-grade spirit weapon. The starting bid is 150,000 high-grade crystal stones.”The auctioneer's voice echoed in the hall.
The auctioneer removed the red cloth on the tray in his hand, and a sword emitting a light blue light appeared in everyone's sight.
Xuan Xing saw that the spirit weapon was actually one of the ones he had put up for auction. Spirit weapons were very precious in the cultivation world, so it was normal for them to be auctioned on the last day.
" 160,000!" Someone in the hall immediately began to bid.
"170,000!"

"Brother, why haven't the people from the three major sects made any moves?”Xuan Xing asked doubtfully. It had been quite some time, but the three major sects still hadn't called out any bids.
"Hehe, you don't understand. The three big sects will definitely make the final bid. After all, spirit weapons are the highest grade magic treasures in the cultivation world.”Qian Yuan explained to Xuan Xing.
Xuan Xing somewhat understood that the final competition would still be between the three major sects.
The temptation of a spirit weapon was indeed very great. Now, the bid had already reached three hundred thousand high grade crystals. At this time, only a few first rate sects continued to raise the bid. However, the three super sects still did not bid.
In the end, the Equipment Refining Sect bid 400,000. At this time, the other first-class sects didn't bid anymore. Their sect's liquid assets were limited. 400,000 crystals was not a small amount. It was not worth it to buy a low-grade spiritual device and affect the operation of the sect.
" 400,000. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher? One…Two…" The auctioneer looked around and shouted.
Still, no one raised the bid." Brother, why haven't the three major sects bid yet?”Xuan Xing asked anxiously. He really wanted to earn a fortune from the three major sects.
"Don't be anxious. Keep watching." Qian Yuan smiled and said.
" Third, this spiritual weapon belongs to the Equipment Refining Sect now…"
"Wait, 450,000."
Just as the auctioneer was about to announce the result, the Celestialspirit Sect finally called out the bid.
"Five hundred thousand." At this moment, the Profound Enlightenment Sect also started to bid.
"550,000." The Clear Void Sect also made a bid.
The crowd was in an uproar. The three great sects were generous. Others only increased the bid by ten thousand, but they increased it by fifty thousand.
Everyone looked towards the VIP room upstairs, their eyes full of admiration.
Xuan Xing felt very uncomfortable watching all of this.
"Brother, what do these three sects mean? Since they wanted to buy it, why didn't they bid earlier? Weren't they showing off their identities?”Xuan Xing said in disgust.
"En…you're right. They're just showing off their status. Every time a Spirit Tool or some rare treasure appears in an auction, they're always like this.”Qian Yuan also couldn't stand the way the three major sects were doing things.
"This is too infuriating. Brother, let's think of a way to vent our anger.”
"Oh? How?"
………………

The price of that spirit weapon had already risen to seven hundred thousand top grade crystals, but the three sects were still bidding. Spirit weapons were very rare in the cultivation world, and only a few grandmaster artifact craftsmen could make them. It was not easy to find one now, so they had to get it. This was the common thought of the three sects.
Actually, there was another reason, and that was none of them wished for the spiritual weapon to end up in the hands of the other two factions. The three major sects could easily fork out a few hundred thousand crystals. If it was a million, they might hesitate to continue.
" 800,000!" The Clear Void Sect bid again.
"850,000." The Celestialspirit Sect shouted.
The Profound Dominance Sect did not follow them any further. They felt that they could hire a Weapon Forging Grandmaster to forge a middle-grade or even superior-grade spirit weapon with nearly a million crystals. They continued to bid because they wanted to save face for their sects.
In fact, the three major sects had indeed raised the price of this inferior-grade spiritual weapon to over 800,000 for the sake of their own face.
"One million!" Celestialspirit Sect raised the bid to one million.
" Hua…" Everyone felt their breathing quicken. One million high-grade crystals was enough to establish a medium-sized cultivation sect.
The Clear Void Sect hesitated this time. One million crystals was not a small amount even for the three major sects.
If he continued to bid, he would feel a little heartache for these jingshi. If he withdrew, he would lose a little face.
"Aiya, the Celestialspirit Sect is still the strongest and wealthiest.”
A sharp voice suddenly entered everyone's ears.
"That's right. Celestialspirit Sect is really powerful.”
"Yeah, look at him…"
Everyone present started discussing.
The three major sects had all heard their discussion. Other than the Celestialspirit Sect, the other two sects were furious. They wanted to find the owner of the shrill voice and teach him a lesson, but they couldn't find him. They didn't even know where the voice came from.
"1.1 million." The Clear Void Sect continued to bid for the sake of their reputation.
In the end, even the Profound Crypt Sect, who had already planned to withdraw, joined in.
In the end, the Spirit Weapon was sold to Celestialspirit Sect for a sky-high price of 1.6 million crystals.
"Haha, Xuan Xing, your idea is really sinister. 1.6 million is more than enough for Celestialspirit Sect.”Qian Yuan shook his head and laughed.
"I didn't expect them to care so much about their reputation.”Xuan Xing also sighed at this result.
At this moment, the auctioneer's voice sounded again.
"The next item up for auction is still a low-grade spirit weapon.”
A flying sword emitting an earthen yellow light appeared before everyone's eyes.
Xuan Xing winked at Qian Yuan.
" I wonder who will get it this time, Xuanming Sect or Qingxu Sect…"
That voice once again entered everyone's ears.
This was someone deliberately making the three sects spend money in vain, and the three sects were very clear about this now.
However, there were so many fellow cultivators watching. No matter what, they were still the top three super sects in the cultivation world. For the sake of face, they had no choice but to spend this sum of wasted jingshi.
The spiritual weapon in the middle had landed in the hands of the Clear Void Sect at a sky-high price of 1.5 million crystals.
The people of Profound Crypt Sect were very angry now. The representative of Profound Crypt Sect to participate in the auction this time was the new sect master of Profound Crypt Sect, Perfected Tian Yu. He had just taken over the position of sect master, so he did not dare to squander crystals so casually. If he was not careful, the elders of the sect would immediately dismiss him.
"Xuan Xing, you've really struck it rich this time.”Qian Yuan sighed.
Xuan Xing hadn't expected that his two low-grade holy weapons could be sold for such a good price. Originally, Xuan Xing had thought that it would be good enough to sell for at most five hundred thousand crystals, but he hadn't expected that they would end up selling for more than three million crystals.
"Hehe, yes, but I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't persuaded me to come here to auction, I might have sold it for 300,000.”Xuan Xing couldn't stop laughing.
Three million high-grade crystal stones was a very considerable number. Even in his previous life, he had never owned so many crystal stones. Logically speaking, he had done quite well in the cultivation world back then, but in the end, it was not as much as the two low-grade spirit weapons he had exchanged for crystal stones. The world was unpredictable, Xuan Xing sighed in his heart.
"Actually, there is another reason why you were able to earn so much jingshi this time. That is, although the three great sects appear to be harmonious on the surface, they are not what outsiders see them to be. There is also competition between them, so they are more or less dissatisfied with the other two sects. Do you think they won't notice our provocation just now? They were not that stupid. The reason why they still spent this money was not only to save face, but also to fight for their pride.”Qian Yuan explained to Xuan Xing.
Xuan Xing had spent most of his time cultivating, so he didn't know that there was a grudge between them. He had thought that the three sects were really like a hardcore alliance. This might be of great help to him in dealing with the three major sects in the future.
The auction was about to end.
"Alright, everyone, quiet down. This auction is coming to an end. Next up is the finale item of this year's auction.”
The noisy hall immediately quieted down. The finale item of the auction was the last item to be auctioned. Usually, the finale item was the most precious item.
Everyone was quietly waiting for the auctioneer to bring out the finale item.
