Chapter 86: Nine Shadows Transform into Void Steps

  "Under the mysterious stairs, the nine shadows of martial arts are transformed into void steps!"

  Yao Li took over the last silver plate, lifted the brocade cloth, and a scroll quietly lay on the silver plate.

  Xuanjie-level martial arts are extremely rare in the entire Tianfeng County, and would cause a stir wherever they appear. At auctions, Xuanjie-level martial arts are priceless because no one would be extravagant enough to put them up for sale.

  Everyone looked at the scroll in the silver plate, and their eyes were all filled with envy. Martial arts are different from elixirs and spiritual treasures, as the latter two can only benefit one person, while martial arts can benefit the entire clan or sect.

  "Gentlemen, this martial art is a physical martial art. When cultivated to perfection, it can create nine residual shadows, making it an extremely powerful auxiliary martial art. The starting price is one billion Xuan coins, and each bid increase must be at least eight million Xuan coins." Yao Li said calmly, not needing to waste his breath on this martial art, as its value could be seen from its rank alone.

  Mo Feng looked at this Xuanjie lower-grade martial art, and his mind was also moved. Now he is lacking in this kind of body method martial art, although there are some body method martial arts in the clan, but the grade is too low, even if it is cultivated to perfection, there is no effect.

  But now he doesn't have any capital to take down this Xuanjie Wuxue, so he is also pinning his hopes on the clan. However, the Mu clan has not made a move before, and it should be coming for this Xuanjie Wuxue.

  Mo Feng glanced at Mo Cheng De, only to see the latter's eyebrows tightly furrowed, his eyes fixed intently on that mysterious martial arts manual, but his expression was extremely solemn, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

  "One hundred million yuan." Someone in the hall shouted, although they knew that this price was meaningless, but maybe to highlight their own existence, so they still shouted out the bottom line.

  "One hundred million yuan!"

  "One billion two hundred million yuan!"

  ……

  In the midst of a fiery atmosphere, Jiuying Huaxu's price was pushed to 1.5 billion yuan by the crowd in the hall. The one who called out this price was a second-rate power from Tianfeng County. The man who made the bid had a bright red face, seemingly having gone all out, trying his luck.

  When the price was called at 1.5 billion yuan, the entire auction hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the VIP seats of the four major forces. In Tianfeng County, only the four major forces could afford a higher price than this.

  Mufeng smacked his lips, the value of Xuanjie Wuxue was indeed not trivial. He had three types of Xuanjie Wuxue on him, and it was truly a stroke of good fortune. If the clan could get their hands on this martial art, Mufeng believed he would definitely have a chance to learn it.

  Although the entire auction hall was quiet, the heavy breathing of the crowd made the atmosphere even more fiery.

  Everyone knows that the real competition is about to begin. Now, the four major forces have gained something: the Liu family has obtained the Heart Blood Orchid, the Lei family has obtained the Green Rainbow Sword, and the Fengyun Sect and the Mu family have not made a move except for the first auction item.

  "One billion six hundred million yuan!" Liu Li was the first to quote a price.

  Yao Li stood on the stage without speaking, and the price of 1.6 billion yuan was clearly not enough to buy this martial art. If it were normal, the value of a lower-grade Xuan-stage martial art should be around 2 billion yuan.

  In terms of financial resources, the Liu family clan still has a certain gap with the Fengyun Sect and the Mu family clan. Therefore, everyone's attention only stayed on the Liu family clan for a short while before turning to the Fengyun Sect and the Mu family clan.

  "1.8 billion yuan!" Zheng Nan glanced around the room and casually called out a price.

  This time, the price thoroughly silenced the Liu clan, their bottom line was 160 million yuan.

  "Two hundred million yuan." Murong Chengde said after taking a sip of tea.

  The Lei family has just mobilized a large amount of funds, and it is clear that there is no capital to invest in the competition for Jiuying Huabu. The Liu family is obviously weaker than the Fengyun Sect and the Mu family, so the competition for this Xuanjie martial art is actually between the Fengyun Sect and the Mu family.

  The two major forces clashed again, making everyone look forward to it, and wondering who would win or lose this time.

  Mo Chengde's face was stern, he knew that the first ancient iron plaque's contention wasn't just a competition between Fengyun Sect and others, but Zheng Nan intentionally stirred up trouble, making them pay a higher price. And this Xuanjie martial art, judging from Zheng Nan's expression, was something they had to get, so the auction for this Xuanjie martial art would be a fierce battle.

  "Do you think Uncle De can film this martial arts move?" Looking at Mu Chengde's expression, a hint of worry also appeared on Mu Hanqing's pretty face.

  "I don't know, let's take a look first." Murong secretly wiped away his sweat.

  Although Fengyun Sect is the leader of the four major forces, the Mu family clan is not weak either. This kind of financial comparison, until the end, the result is really hard to predict.

  Zheng Nan and Mu Chengde exchanged a glance, their gazes sharp as arrows, sending a chill down one's spine.

  Zheng Nan smiled and said: "Since Brother Chengde is so enthusiastic, I'll accompany him. Two billion three hundred million Xuan coins."

  "Two billion four hundred million yuan!" Mu Chengde didn't say a word, but careful Mu Feng saw that his hand holding the teacup was slightly trembling.

  Seeing this scene, Mu Feng knew that the price had already approached the bottom line of the Mu family. On the other hand, Zheng Nan was relaxed and at ease, and the difference could be seen from this.

  When Mu Chengde quoted a price of 2.4 billion yuan, Zheng Nan was slightly stunned, but then returned to normal. This price, in his opinion, is not excessively high.

  Although the lower-grade martial arts sold for 240 million yuan, it was indeed a bit expensive in terms of price, but from a long-term perspective, its value far exceeded 240 million yuan.

  "It's already reached 24 billion yuan, this is also too frightening."

  "Yes, indeed, the four major powers are truly worthy of their name, with not only exceptional strength but also equally impressive financial resources."

  "I wonder who will have the last laugh this time?"

  ……

  Everyone else was also watching Zheng Nan and Mu Chengde with a tense and excited expression, this battle between dragons and tigers had only just reached its climax.

  "Two billion five hundred million yuan!"

  "Two billion six hundred million Xuanyuan coins!" Mu Chengde continued to follow closely, not giving an inch.

  Mocheng De didn't know where the bottom line of Fengyun Sect was, but 260 million Xuan coins were already close to his bottom line this time. His heart was also a bit flustered, but on his face he still had a serious expression, without showing any emotional fluctuations.

  "Three billion yuan!" Zheng Nan seemed somewhat impatient and suddenly said.

  The entire auction hall fell silent, with everyone looking at each other in dismay.

  Three billion Xuan coins, what a concept? Some small sects in Tianfeng County, or even second-rate forces, may not have spent three billion Xuan coins in a hundred years.

  When Mu Chengde heard this quote, the water cup in his hand suddenly burst with a loud "bang" in the quiet auction hall.
