Heaven's Secret Tower!
This was the core of Ghost Street. On the surface, it looked like an ordinary three-story restaurant.
In reality, the Heaven's Secret Tower was divided into two parts. The upper part was a restaurant with many traps. Even if a top-notch cat burglar entered, he would die.
The lower half was the underground secret chamber!
Among them, the meeting room of the Nine Gates Fellowship Gathering was the part of the Heaven's Secret Tower that was 'publicized'.
In addition, the treasure room and other secret rooms were all shrouded in absolute killing intent. They were the forbidden areas and secrets of Ghost Street. Other than Gui Yama and Zhang Xiaoshan, no one else could see anything.
At this moment, according to the auction design of the New Moon Hotel, Heaven's Secret Tower was divided into:
There were Jianghu people in the main hall, wealthy merchants on the second floor, and dignitaries on the third floor. There was a bright lamp on one side of the private room, which was specially used to light the sky.
"Esteemed guests, I, Gui Yanluo, need not introduce myself.
Today, only this old man from the top three families of the Nine Gates of Ghost Street has come. Therefore, this banquet of Ghost Street will be hosted by this old man!”
Ghost Yama controlled the Heaven's Secret Tower, and his position in Ghost Street was a core existence.
As for the other two?
The Golden-faced Buddha was elusive. Although the God of Wealth's identity was hidden, it was very likely that he was one of the people present.
The Nine Gates of Ghost Street belonged to the lower nine sects in the eyes of the dignitaries, but they were definitely not pushovers.
Especially the mysterious Upper Three Families!
The reason why the Upper Three Families were the Upper Three Families was not just because they were mysterious.
"I won't beat around the bush with you guys.
The reason why all the distinguished guests had gathered in Ghost Street this time was because there were many good things in Ghost Street, all of which were of high quality.
Ordinary customers would find it difficult to eat them, or if the distinguished guests needed them but had no way to do so, Ghost Street would hold a banquet every month from now on. The list of red goods would be sent to the distinguished guests three days in advance.”
Many people were surprised when they heard about the operation mode of Ghost Street. Their eyes lit up.
In this way, it did not matter if they were interested or not, but it gave them some room to budget.
If there was something they needed, they could also prepare funds in advance.
"This is the first auction, so our nine clans have brought out many good things.
The first item is a treasure that Lord Zeng has brought out. This is something that everyone is interested in-a sword.
This sword was called the Yue King Gou Jian's Sword, and there were bird and insect patterns carved on the blade.
King of Yue, Gou Jian, use your own sword!"
What was that?
Hearing this, everyone looked at the sword that was slowly revealed under the red cloth.
It had been more than a thousand years, but it was still as bright as new. Moreover, there was a faint cold light. No matter how one looked at it, it could not be an ancient sword that had been more than a thousand years old.
"This is impossible!"
With a question, several dignitaries stood up. Gui Yanluo chuckled,
"This is Ghost Street's first grand event, and it's the first auction item. We won't ruin our reputation.
This Yue King Gou Jian's sword was originally obtained by the fifth brother of the Nine Sects from a thousand-year-old ancient tomb. Our Ghost Street can guarantee that this sword is authentic.
If it was fake, Ghost Street would bear all the consequences!”
Upon hearing Ghost Yama's words, Lei Laowu could not help but step forward and guarantee,
"I can prove it!"
Who was Lei Laowu?
Those people in the martial arts world were nobles who knew Lei Laowu's background. This was already a golden signboard.
The person who used Lei Laowu's name might be a fake, but Lei Laowu had never been a fake. Therefore, with Lei Laowu's evidence, everyone instantly believed more than half of it.
"And this sword isn't just for decoration.”
Gui Yanluo took out a stack of coins, at least nine of them stacked together. He chuckled and said,"
"May I know which esteemed guest has come to give it a try? In case someone says that my Ghost Tower is a fraud? Young Master Zhang?"
"Me?"
Zhang Xiaoshan saw that everyone was looking at him with some encouraging gazes. He couldn't help but chuckle and said indifferently,
"Since everyone trusts me, it would be impolite of Ziyu to refuse.”
Zhang Xiaoshan leaped into the air, and while everyone was in shock, he stepped through the air and landed on the stage.
This scene shocked many Jianghu people and Lin An dignitaries.
One had to know that even the experts present couldn't leap 70 to 80 feet in the air, let alone Zhang Xiaoshan, this prodigal young master. Immediately, Ghost Yama couldn't help but praise,
"Young Master Zhang, you're really good!"
"Borrowing things from the sky is nothing.”
Borrowing from the sky?
Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, many people looked up at the sky.
Ordinary people naturally couldn't see anything, but some experts gradually discovered some clues under Zhang Xiaoshan's hint, and they couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
How sinister!
That was because those invisible things were the extremely sharp Golden Silk.
If one did not know the details and jumped up rashly, they might be instantly dismembered. Even most of the people in the Nine Gates were ashen.
Because even they didn't know about this.
"It's just a small trick. Please don't blame me."
Ghost Yama handed the Gou Jian Sword to Zhang Xiaoshan. Zhang Xiaoshan pretended to size up the sword.
Then, he suddenly waved his hand, and in an instant, nine big coins and long tables were drawn without any hesitation. This made everyone's eyes light up.
"Good sword!"
Zhang Xiaoshan casually threw the sword and handed it to Ghost Yama.
The sword was an ancient treasure sword. It was not fake at all. At least in the eyes of those Jianghu swordsmen, Zhang Xiaoshan did not have any hidden moves just now.
Even Zhuge Zhengwo couldn't help but sigh.
After all, the sharpness of such a sword was not something he could afford, let alone its value.
"Esteemed guests, the first auction item is the Yue King Gou Jian's Sword. The price is one thousand taels of gold.
Those who are interested, please!"
"Ten thousand!"
Zhang Xiaoshan, who had returned to the private room, turned around and shouted.
Ten thousand gold taels, not many people present could afford it. Furthermore, it was a show of dominance. Everyone understood that this was Zhang Xiaoshan's strategy.
Ten thousand gold taels was already close to the starting price of Gou Jian's sword.
"Eleven thousand taels!"
Ten breaths later, everyone reacted and a second voice appeared.
He was a noble of the imperial court who was not afraid of Zhang Xiaoshan's intimidation at all. He also liked to collect swords.
"11,500 taels!"
"Thirteen thousand taels!"
···
"Young Master Zhang, you don't want it anymore?"
Zhuge Zhengwo saw that Zhang Xiaoshan did not bid again and could not help but look regretful.
"Mr. Zhuge, you must be joking. If I were to use a sword, twenty to thirty thousand taels of gold would be enough to buy it.
However, in my heart, this sword is only worth ten thousand taels of gold.”
Zhuge Zhengwo didn't doubt it, but it was a pity.
In the end, the sword was bought by a tycoon for 30,000 taels of gold, which was twice the price.
This was the benefit of an auction.
Otherwise, Zhang Xiaoshan's 10,000 gold taels would have been capped.
Even though Zhang Xiaoshan was left-handed, he still had many ways to sell it off after he took it out. Moreover, it was worth more than ten thousand taels of gold.
"The second item is a roll of heavenly silk, priced at 1000 gold taels!”
Heavenly silkworm silk?
Zhang Xiaoshan saw that the roll of heavenly silkworm silk was already the size of a thread. It was probably more than enough to weave half a heavenly silkworm precious armor.
Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes lit up. This thing was one of his targets.
"Ten thousand taels!"
Young Master Zhang again!
Moreover, when everyone heard Zhang Xiaoshan's bid of 10,000 taels, it was obvious that he had maliciously raised the starting price by ten times, eliminating most of the people.
"Ten thousand gold? If Young Master Zhang wanted it, then he would give it to Young Master Zhang!”
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaoshan.
After all, the price range of the sword was not too far off.
Although a roll of heavenly silkworm silk was precious, it did not reach the level of ten thousand taels of gold. Zhang Xiaoshan's offer was more than double the price.
However, Zhang Xiaoshan was expressionless. No one knew Zhang Xiaoshan's goal, and no one could predict it.
Soon, as the grandfather clock rang, Zhang Xiaoshan could not help but smile, which made everyone realize that something was wrong.
"Thank you, everyone, for giving me face!”
