The Azure Thunder Auction House was full of guests.
The nobles in brocade robes sat below and commented on the stage.
On the high platform, seven women in thin clothes stood in a row. Their faces were ashen, and their eyes were hopeless. Among them, there were a few who were pretty.
The auctioneer appeared, shook the bell, and nodded.""The starting price for each of these 7 Xiongnu women is 10 taels of silver. Everyone can buy them back to be maids or concubines, at will!”
A hint of threat appeared on his face, and his meaning was self-evident.
The people below the stage began to bid, and there were many who wanted to enjoy the beauty of the foreign women.
……
"Rustle…"
The sound of light footsteps came from behind. It was Ye Yang, who was holding a new sword. He glanced at the women on the stage and frowned, but he did not say anything. Although he could not stand it, so what? In this era, this was the way of the world.
"Yo, it's the young master of the Ye family. What's the matter?”
A fat man walked up to them. This man was one of the five managers of the Azure Thunder Auction House, and he had quite a bit of power in his hands.
"Where's the appraiser?" Ye Yang asked, holding his sword. I want to appraise and auction this weapon…"
"Oh? Did Lord Ye Beichi forge another weapon?”
Ye Yang didn't answer, and the fat man didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and called an appraiser and shouted,""Think carefully. We can't let the young master of the Ye family suffer!”
The appraiser carefully observed the sharpness of the iron sword. Then, he pressed one hand and two fingers on the sword's edge. With a soft shout, the fire divine power contained in the iron sword immediately rebounded!
"Puff!"
A wisp of flame flew out of the sword, and the appraiser couldn't help but laugh."Not bad, it's a good sword. Its character is-ninth grade!”
"Oh? A ninth-grade weapon?"
The fat manager laughed." Not bad, not bad. This kind of weapon is already a sharp weapon for battle generals to charge into the front lines. Recently, the empire has been purchasing high-ranked weapons. This weapon should be able to sell for a good price.”
With that, the fat manager walked up to Ye Yang with his weapon in hand and said with a smile,""May I ask, Young Master Ye Yang, does this sword already have a name?”
" What?" Ye Yang was confused. He shook his head." Do I need to name it?"”
"Of course, all weapons should have a unique name. This is your weapon, please name it!”
Ye Yang pondered for a moment and said,"Let's call it 'Bright Fire'!"”
"Open fire? Good, good name. This Flaming Sword will definitely show off its brilliance in this auction. Young Master Ye Yang, please come to our auction this afternoon. At that time, we will give 90% of the auction's earnings to Young Master Ye Yang. The remaining 10% will be our small merchant association's collection fee. What do you think?”
"Alright, I'll come, but please don't tell anyone.”
The supervisor understood what Ye Yang meant and smiled.""Don't worry, after the transaction is completed, we will make the transfer in the back hall!”
"Good!"
After signing a document, Ye Yang left the auction house.
……
Within the Azure Thunder Auction House.
The fat manager respectfully held the Flaming Sword and said,"Young miss, the young master of the Fire God Ye family sent a ninth-grade sword this morning.”
In front of the fat manager was a graceful woman wearing a snow-colored robe. Her face was round and exquisite, and her eyes were like stars. She wore a low-necked gauze dress that only wrapped around her plump peaks. This was a charming woman. Just one look was enough to make anyone's heart flutter.
"Oh?"
The woman slowly stood up and smiled."" It seems that the Ye Family isn't having a good time either. They actually put a ninth-grade weapon up for auction. This must be Ye Beichi's handiwork. In the entire Ye Family, only this person can forge ninth-grade weapons."”
The fat manager nodded and said," Ye Beichi is a famous Forging Master in Good City. On average, he produces an eighth-grade weapon every two years and three ninth-grade weapons every year. However, I didn't expect them to be willing to sell such a good weapon at the auction house. This is rare."”
"Isn't that simple?" The woman giggled. The Ye Family was declining in the Fire God Eight Tribes. Ye Nantian had been working hard for many years, but he still couldn't make the Ye Family recover. In a few years, the Fire God Family would only have seven families left!”
"Haha! " Eldest Miss is wise. That's not bad. Ye Beichi can still forge a few eighth-grade weapons in his lifetime. It can be considered as adding some popularity to our Qinglei Auction House!”
"Yes, immediately do it. This Flaming Sword will be sold as the finale. I won't sell it for less than 1000 taels of silver!”
"Young miss, what if no one can afford the 1000 silver taels?”
"Don't worry, a ninth-grade weapon is something that every family is looking forward to obtaining. There are no less than ten prosperous families in the vast Good City, so how could there be no one who wants to buy it?”
In the hall, the charming young lady had a smile on her chest. Her beautiful smile was like a spring breeze, making the servants even more respectful.
This woman was none other than the owner of the Green Thunder Auction House, Lei Qing's daughter, Lei Xiaodie. She was the woman with the title of the number one beauty in Good City and was also the actual person in charge of the Green Thunder Auction House. Ever since Lei Qing retired, the entire auction house was under Lei Xiaodie's control.
A twenty-year-old woman was in control of the largest auction house in Good City. One could imagine Lei Xiaodie's abilities.
……
In the afternoon, the auction of weapons and armors started after the plucking.
There were no less than three hundred people gathered in the huge venue. Among them were martial artists with weapons in their hands, and there were also noble children dressed in silk and satin. Liang City was originally the territory of the Chu Country, and now there were many noble children of the Chu Country left behind. These people had become the upper class nobles of Liang City, and there were many good martial artists among them.
Generally speaking, ninth-grade weapons were rare treasures. Eighth-grade, seventh-grade, and sixth-grade weapons were all collected by the nobles. The third-grade divine weapon, the Brilliant Sun, was coveted by everyone, but no one dared to touch it. It was not because Ye Nantian was powerful, but because of the leader of the Fire God Clan, Peng Feng. He was a level-nine Earth Realm warrior. No one dared to covet the treasure of the Fire God Clan.
Ye Yang arrived at the auction house on time. He found a seat in the corner and sat down. His expression was indifferent, as if he had nothing to do with the auction house. His dark green robe made him look cold and hidden.
Not far away, a group of noble ladies kept looking at him in surprise. They were obviously attracted by Ye Yang's attire. No one knew who this young man in green clothes with a rusty sword on his back was.
Ever since he transmigrated into Ye Batian's body, Ye Yang had been cultivating both internally and externally in the past month. His charm and character had undergone a completely different change. Those who knew the young master of the Ye family in the past would feel that he had been reborn when they saw him now.
On the high platform, more than ten weapons and armors were arranged in a row on the table.
The beaded curtains swayed, and everyone's eyes lit up.
A beautiful woman appeared on the stage. She was wearing a white dress, and her tall and proud figure was wrapped in the dress, outlining a beautiful arc. Her beautiful face carried a charming smile as she walked up the stage and bowed with her hands folded in front of her. She smiled and said,"Everyone, Lei Xiaodie greets you!”
Everyone cheered. One of the shirtless men shouted,"Miss Xiao Die, what good treasures did your auction house have today?”
Lei Xiaodie's eyes moved. With just a glance, that soul-stirring gaze made the burly man enjoy it endlessly.
"You'll know in a while."
Lei Xiaodie didn't answer and announced,""The market is open!"
The auctioneer nodded respectfully and struck the gong.
Lei Xiaodie rolled up her sleeves, revealing a jade-lotus-like arm. She reached out and grabbed a long saber. The unusually heavy saber was like a feather in Lei Xiaodie's hand. She lifted it casually. Lei Xiaodie laughed softly and waved the long saber. A cold aura spread out.
"Spring and Autumn War Blade, forged by a famous craftsman from cold iron. It is hard and sharp, weighs 64 pounds, and has no grade. The starting bid is 50 silver taels.”
Lei Xiaodie's soul-stirring voice echoed in the arena. Immediately, someone raised his arm and shouted,"60 taels!"
Then, someone else bid,"65 taels!”
"70 taels!"
In the end, the price was set at 70 taels of silver. Lei Xiaodie smiled and invited the winner to pay the silver backstage and take the Spring and Autumn battle knife.
A careless smile flashed across Ye Yang's mouth. He could see it clearly. The Spring and Autumn saber was only sharp, but there was no power in it. It was just a dead object. To put it bluntly, it could be used to charge into the battlefield. If he encountered a real expert, he was afraid that this Spring and Autumn saber would become a burden.
The second item up for auction was a Gold Thread Chainmail. It was bought by a member of a distinguished family for 90 silver taels.
Next, there were armors and weapons that weren't high-grade.
Until the second to last item, it was actually a martial arts manual with a red cover!
Lei Xiaodie picked up the martial arts book and raised it above her soft chest. She smiled and said,"Xuan Rank Middle Cultivation Technique-Heart Splitting Palm Technique, starting bid 100 silver!”
Everyone was shocked and whispered in admiration.
"It's actually a Xuan Grade Martial Art? Heavens, the Qinglei Auction House is indeed worthy of being the largest merchant house in Liang City, to actually be able to obtain such profound martial arts manuals…"
"If you ask me, this kind of high-grade martial art must have already been reserved by someone. It's useless even if we bid higher!”
"Who said that? This Young Master must fight for it, even if it is to win the smile of a beautiful woman!”
……
Lei Xiaodie stood on the stage and looked at the audience with a faint smile. Her voice was not loud, but it pierced through everyone's ears."Let's begin the bidding!"
"250 taels of silver!" A warrior in red shouted.
"350 taels of silver!" Another weak scholar shouted.
"400 taels!"
"450 taels!"
……
In the end, the price stopped at 770 taels of silver, and a noble girl bought the Heart-splitting Palm Technique.
Lei Xiaodie handed over the martial arts book, then clapped her hands and said with a smile,"Next, the finale treasure of this auction, yes, is a sword!”
As she spoke, Lei Xiaodie swayed her body and changed her position like a butterfly. A sharp long sword appeared out of thin air in her hand. It was the Fire Sword that Ye Yang was selling!
Lei Xiaodie let out a delicate cry and infused her Genuine Qi into the long sword. Suddenly, flames burst out. It was the power contained in the Fire Sword!
Everyone was shocked." This…This is a high-grade weapon! Heavens! The Azure Thunder Auction House is crazy! Where did they get such a good treasure?"!”
