In the Song Chamber of Commerce, after Zhao Zheng had bid for the landscape painting, the auction continued.
Zhao Zheng wasn't interested in the items being auctioned.
They were all ordinary antique paintings and calligraphy. The most precious one was a cultivation technique that could be cultivated to the grandmaster level.
Although it could only be cultivated to the early-stage Zongshi realm, this cultivation technique was still sold for a sky-high price of 10 billion.
This was not surprising. In this world, martial artists were the true people above others. If a family did not have a powerful martial artist to oversee it, no matter how big the industry was, it would be swallowed up by others sooner or later. This grandmaster cultivation method could create a family with a grandmaster overseeing it. Those wealthy businessmen who did not have a martial artist overseeing it would naturally buy it at all costs.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.
During this period, 70 to 80 items had been auctioned.
? Zhao Zheng had never called out a price for these seventy to eighty items. He was waiting for the Heaven's Legacy Diagram Array to appear.
? Just as Zhao Zheng was getting bored, Song Yang took out an item that made Zhao Zheng's eyes light up.
It was a palm-sized compass with some strange symbols carved on it.
Zhao Zheng, who possessed future memories, could tell at a glance that this compass was Ye Chen's strongest Dharma treasure in the future, the Heaven's Secrets Array Diagram.
" Young Master…" After Ling Donglai saw the compass, he was also moved and sent a secret voice transmission to Zhao Zheng.
But before Ling Donglai could finish, Zhao Zheng replied via secret sound transmission,"Don't worry, Old Ling, I'll get this compass.”
Hearing Zhao Zheng's words, Ling Donglai nodded respectfully and looked at the auction stage.
……………………
"Everyone, this compass comes from the Zhou Dynasty. It's an extremely ancient item. The starting price is 40 million.”Song Yan stood on the auction stage and pointed at the compass in his hand as he said with a smile.
Hearing this starting price, Zhao Zheng sighed in his heart that the protagonist's luck was too good.
Normally, as long as one was a good Feng Shui Master, they would be able to tell that the Heaven's Fortune Array was extraordinary. Although the Song family couldn't hire a top Feng Shui Master like Tian Yangzi, they still had plenty of Feng Shui Masters who were second only to Tian Yangzi. However, when those Feng Shui Masters saw the Heaven's Fortune Array, they seemed to be blind. They only thought that this Heaven's Fortune Array was nothing special except that it was passed down from the Zhou Dynasty.
It was precisely because of this that the Song Clan had auctioned off the Heaven's Secrets Array Diagram so that Ye Chen could pick up the scraps.
It could be said that the Heaven's Secrets Array was specially prepared for Ye Chen. Before Ye Chen obtained it, even a skilled Feng Shui master would become blind and not be able to see the power of the Heaven's Secrets Array.
But now, Ye Chen's main character luck had been given to Zhao Zheng.
………………
In the end, Zhao Zheng bought the Heaven's Legacy Array Diagram for 80 million.
In the beginning, there were many people competing for the Heaven's Legacy Array Diagram. After all, many people felt that the value of the antiques from the Zhou Dynasty would increase.
However, after Zhao Zheng spoke, no one else bid.
It couldn't be helped. Zhao Zheng gave everyone the feeling that he had a powerful background, and even the Song Empire had to give him face. At this time, who would raise the price with Zhao Zheng for no reason?
…………
After Zhao Zheng bought the Heaven's Secrets Array Diagram, there were only three items left in the auction.
These three items were considered the finale items. Each of them was not inferior to the grandmaster cultivation techniques auctioned earlier.
However, Zhao Zheng wasn't interested in either of them. He was waiting for the auction to end. He would take the landscape painting and the Heaven's Secrets Array before leaving.
…………
Finally, another 20 minutes later, the auction ended.
Not long after the auction ended, there was a knock on Zhao Zheng's private room.
"Enter."
Zhao Zheng said indifferently.
Soon, the door was pushed open.
Three people walked in. One of them was the auctioneer Song Yan. Song Yan held two exquisite boxes in his hands. Needless to say, he knew that there were landscape paintings and Heaven's Legacy Array diagrams inside.
Beside Song Yan was a young man with an extraordinary bearing and a middle-aged man in green clothes. They were Song Jie and Qin Yong.
"Song Jie greets Young Master Zhao." Song Jie immediately cupped his hands respectfully when he saw Zhao Zheng.
"There's no need to be so polite." Zhao Zheng shook his head indifferently.
"Young Master Zhao, this is the landscape painting and compass that you bought.”Song Jie gave Song Yan a look, and Song Yan immediately sent two gift boxes over.
When Song Yan brought the landscape painting and compass over, Ling Donglai walked over and took them.
…………
"Hmm?" Song Jie's eyes narrowed as he looked at Ling Donglai, who had taken the landscape painting and the Heaven's Secrets Array.
"Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere before? The more I look at it, the more familiar it becomes." Song Jie thought to himself as he looked at Ling Donglai.
"I'll pay by card." Zhao Zheng interrupted Song Jie's thoughts and threw a bank card over.
"Young Master Zhao, consider this as a gift from my Song Clan Auction House. After all, these are just two worthless items.”Song Jie smiled when he heard Zhao Zheng's words.
"No need." Zhao Zheng shook his head.
"Alright." When Song Jie heard Zhao Zheng's rejection, he didn't dare to say anything. If he said too much, what if he offended him?
"Young Master Zhao, I'll return it to you." After Song Jie swiped his card, he did not dare to throw it over like Zhao Zheng. If it was anyone else, it would be fine. However, Zhao Zheng was a martial grandmaster. How could he dare to do so?
After casually taking the bank card that Song Jie returned, Zhao Zheng said,""I still have things to do, so I won't stay any longer.”
"Yes." Song Jie immediately nodded respectfully when he heard Zhao Zheng's words.
Originally, he wanted to have a chat with Zhao Zheng to improve the relationship between Zhao Zheng and the Song family. Now that Zhao Zheng was leaving, he could only wait until next time.
"Let's go." Zhao Zheng looked at Ling Donglai and Lu Zihao.
After saying that, Zhao Zheng walked out of the private room.
Ling Donglai and Lu Zihao followed behind.
……………………
…………
After Zhao Zheng left, Song Jie stood motionless on the spot, as if he was deep in thought.
"Young Master Song, what's wrong? Wasn't it just that he didn't have a relationship with that person? Don't worry, as long as you abide by the Song family's rules, that person won't stop you.”Qin Yong looked at Song Jie and said with a smile.
"I remember now." When Song Jie was called by Qin Yong, he suddenly thought of something and revealed an incomparably shocked expression.
"What did you remember?" Qin Yong asked curiously.
"Divine Constable Qin, I vaguely know why Young Master Zhao was able to reach the late-stage martial grandmaster realm at such a young age.”Song Jie looked at Qin Yong and said solemnly.
"Oh?" Qin Yong looked at Song Jie curiously.
"Everyone knows that no matter how talented a person is, without the guidance of a master, it is difficult for them to achieve anything. Firstly, there is a huge chasm in terms of cultivation techniques. Without a powerful cultivation technique, it is impossible to cultivate to a higher realm. For Young Master Zhao to be able to cultivate to the late-stage Grandmaster Realm, the cultivation technique he cultivates must be the best cultivation technique in the world.”
"In the entire Great Ming, no, in the entire world, there are only a few people or families that possess this level of cultivation method. The Yang family behind Young Master Zhao definitely does not have this kind of cultivation method.”Song Jie said in a deep voice.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Qin Yong said speechlessly.
"I see young master Zhao's master. Do you see that extremely extraordinary old man beside him?”Song Jie said.
"I saw it." When Qin Yong heard Song Jie's words, he immediately thought of Ling Donglai.
"I once saw his portrait in the clan. He was Ling Donglai, who was regarded as the world's number one Great Grandmaster by all martial artists 120 years ago.”Song Jie said solemnly.
