Chapter 135: Dragon Scales
Upon hearing the auctioneer's opening bid, Ye Xuan couldn't help but exclaim: "I never thought that a second-grade and third-grade magic treasure would only be one grade apart, yet their prices would differ by thousands or even tens of thousands!"
Duan Wuqing laughed and said, "That's right, if it were a fourth-grade spiritual treasure, that would be even more incredible! Look at those three people from the Nan Gong family, their flying treasures are probably all fourth-grade spiritual treasures! Alas, fourth-grade is too difficult!"
As they spoke, a big man wearing a cyan armor with golden flower patterns immediately bid after hearing the price of Feng Da Shou: "I'll give 1,100!"
Ye Xuan heard the auction and got excited to the point of tears, a single one was worth 100 large xuan dan, which is equivalent to 100,000 small xuan dan! This third-grade treasure can support how many Ye families!
Right after that, a middle-aged man with long green hair floating around raised the price: "One thousand two hundred!"
The big man in green armor glared, clearly unwilling to give up, and shouted again: "One thousand three hundred!"
Just then, a young man sitting in the front row suddenly shouted out: "One thousand five hundred!"
The young man was dressed in purple, with a flowing silver hair, and everyone could see his back. However, when he called out the price, both the big man wearing green armor and the middle-aged man with green hair changed their expressions, and their previously open mouths were now tightly closed.
Many people saw this silver-haired young master bidding and also shook their heads in despair.
At this time, Fong Tai-soi asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? If no one increases it, this iron halberd will belong to Mr. Yuet!"
After Feng Da Shou asked the questions, unexpectedly no one else added to it, so Ye Xuan's Scarlet Flame Halberd was bought by this silver-haired young master.
"Who is this? Why isn't anyone bidding against him?" Ye Xuan frowned and asked, seemingly because as soon as he quoted a price, everyone below fell silent.
Duan shook his head emotionlessly, indicating he didn't know either.
But Ye Xuan heard someone next to him say, "Alas, this jinx shouted and no one fought with him!"
"That's right, this Teng Tian is a cultivation madman. If he gets entangled with someone, it'll be troublesome!"
Ye Xuan furrowed his brow, Yue Ding Tian, a very domineering name.
The young man in the golden brocade robe sitting next to Yezi Yan smiled and said, "Yue Dingtian, I didn't expect you to come too! This time, are you going to challenge someone for a treasure?"
The silver-haired young master in the front row said without turning his head: "Jin He, mind your own business! Is this iron spear forged by you?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the people next to Ye Xuan discussed: "Is this the Golden Grandson of Jin Dingxuan? It's said that he has already become a third-level artifact refiner!"
Someone else said: "Not only that, but its own Xuanli cultivation is also at the 9th level of Ri Xuan boundary!"
"Alas, people are just too much for others! The five major powers are indeed different!"
Ye Xuan's mouth curled up in a smile, and it turned out that the young man who was with Yezi Yan was Jin Dingxuan's son, and he was also a three-stage artifact refiner, but his own cultivation was only at the second heavy day mysterious boundary!
At this time, Jin He said with a sullen face: "What a pity, this iron halberd was not forged by me!"
The young master named Yuè Dǐng Tiān in the front row heard Jin He's answer and smiled: "One guess is not you, your two guesses! A success rate of 30% is pretty good!"
Seeing Yue Dingtian strike himself in front of so many people, Jin He scolded Yue Dingtian a million times in his heart and said: "Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're going to do with that treasure, are you going to spar with those from the Lei Ting Empire?"
Yuè Dǐng Tiān let out a cold hum and didn't respond to Jīn Hé.
However, others in the audience heard it and were boiling with excitement. Yue Ding Tian was going to spar with the geniuses of the Lei Feng Empire, and this time there would be a great show to watch.
"I heard that Nan Gong Jin of the Thunderbolt Empire has already reached the Second Layer of Yin and Yang Realm!"
"What is this, Extreme Joy Sect's Extreme Laughter Heaven or Double Heavy Profound Boundary Great Perfection?!"
"Ah, I heard that Yue Ding's genius has reached the first level of the profound and mysterious realm, this time it's a bit difficult! No wonder he wants to buy this Red Rainbow Flame Spear!"
Just as everyone was buzzing with discussion, the next item up for auction appeared before them.
All that could be seen was a golden yellow scale flashing on the tray, immediately attracting everyone's attention. On the golden yellow scale, there were also several spiral-shaped ripples!
"What is this!"
Many people can't help but ask when they see this strange golden yellow scales.
Ye Xuan's first impression upon seeing the scales was that they were dragon scales! At this time, Xiao Bai who was sleeping in Ye Xuan's pocket also poked out its head curiously looking at the scales with a hint of special confusion in its eyes.
"I'm sure everyone is curious about what this is! Let me tell you, it's dragon scales!" Feng Da Shou explained.
"Dragon scales?"
"What is this? Dragon scales!"
Feng Da Xue smiled and continued, "Not bad, after our Tai Xuan Hall's appraisal, this is indeed a scale of the ancient desolate era's magical beast dragon! The material of this scale is extremely hard! If a craftsman were to make it into armor, it would definitely be a treasure!"
When many people heard that Feng Da Shou said so, they shook their heads and gave up the idea of buying it, as they would have to entrust a craftsman to make it.
However, this dragon scale made Jin He's eyes light up, and he said regretfully: "Ah, what a pity! I don't have a picture book of dragon scales. But buying it first and collecting it is also okay!"
"Hey, Feng, what's the starting bid for this dragon scale?" Jin He asked as he stood up.
Feng Da smiled and replied: "This dragon scale is an ancient relic, and the starting bid we set is one hundred Great Xuan Dan!"
"Alright, I'll take 150 Great Mystic Pills!"
Jin He said with a smile all over his face.
Feng Da Shou looked around the auction hall, but at this time, no one was bidding against him. After all, Jin He himself was a master craftsman, and everyone knew that he was the eldest son of the Golden Cauldron Sect, one of the five major powers. Who would dare to compete with him for this dragon scale that could be had or not?
Just as Jin He thought he had won the auction for the dragon scale, a voice suddenly shouted: "Wait! I'll give 200 more!"
Everyone who heard the voice couldn't help but look over, and saw that the source of the sound was a young man wearing a bamboo hat. This young man was Ye Xuan, and it was he who had shouted "Wait!" just now. He had the diagram for the Dragon Scale Armor, and if it were to be forged, it would be able to withstand three attacks from a strong enemy at the third level of the Dark Profound Realm! How could Ye Xuan let this opportunity slip by?!
Jin He was also taken aback when he saw Ye Xuan shouting the price, his brow furrowed in thought, wondering if he was a third-tier artifact refiner, but the dragon scale pattern didn't match.
Everyone saw Jin He's brow furrow and couldn't help but glance at Ye Xuan with a mixture of surprise and schadenfreude. How dare he compete with the young master of the wealthy Jin Ding Xuan family for materials? Not to mention whether or not it would offend Jin Ding Xuan, who didn't know that Jin Ding Xuan was extremely rich, second only to the Chi Lei Sect.
Just as everyone thought Jin He was going to raise the price, they heard him say with a smile: "I'll let this brother have it!"
