Entering Wu City, Zhang Ruochen headed straight for the central auction house.

  Low-grade spiritual martial skills are not something that ordinary shops can afford, only by taking them to the central auction house and selling them to large families can the value of the martial skills be maximized.

  Just as Zhang Ruochen entered the auction house, a neatly dressed and beautiful maid came forward to greet him. Seeing Zhang Ruochens mysterious attire, she didnt show any surprise at all, but instead spoke very politely: "Sir, do you need any assistance?"

  "I want to see the chief auctioneer of your central auction house." Zhang Ruochen slightly altered his voice, making it sound more sonorous and mature, like that of a man in his thirties or forties.

  What kind of person is this? As soon as he opens his mouth, he wants to see the Grand Master. It seems that his background is not simple.

  "Ill go and inform the chief steward right away, but hes usually very busy attending to noble guests, so its uncertain whether hell have time to see you. Please wait for a moment."

  When she had finished speaking, one of the maids immediately went through a large gate to inform the high steward.

  Zhang Ruochen didnt rush, he just stood quietly in the main hall and waited.

  Before long, the maid led out a slightly fat old man wearing luxurious robes and pointed in Zhang Ruochens direction, saying: "Great Executor, it is that person."

  The Grand Master looked far away at Zhang Ruochen, who was wearing a black cloak, and his gaze fixed on Zhang Ruochens feet. His pair of old eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a hint of sharpness.

  The boots Zhang Ruochen wore were called "Qilin Inlaid Golden Boots", and only people in the royal palace had the qualifications to wear such boots.

  Zhang Ruochen naturally intentionally exposed his boots, after all, he was auctioning off a low-grade spiritual sword technique, and it was inevitable that people would covet it. With his current martial arts cultivation, he couldnt even protect a low-grade spiritual sword technique.

  But if people knew he was a big shot in the palace, I reckon there wouldnt be many who would dare to cross him.

  When ones own strength is not strong enough, it can only pretend to be very powerful in order to intimidate others, which is still quite necessary.

  "Youre not just anyone"

  The Grand Master looked at the boots under Zhang Ruochens feet and thought so in his heart.

  The high officials attitude towards Zhang Ruochen immediately became respectful, treating him as a big shot in the palace. He walked up to Zhang Ruochen and said in a low voice, "Sir, this way please."

  "Uh-huh"

  Zhang Ruochen, in order to intimidate his opponent, put his hands behind his back and showed a full sense of demeanor, nodding slightly.

  The warriors in the hall saw that the Grand Master had such an attitude, and they were all secretly guessing in their hearts. It seemed that a big figure had arrived at the Central Auction House.

  Sitting steadily on the third floor of the Central Auction House, Zhang Ruochen took a cup of tea from the maid and said in a superior tone: "I have something precious here. I want to consign it to the Central Auction House for auction. Call your top appraiser to come over and help me appraise it."

  The Grand Steward saw Zhang Ruochens demeanor and was even more certain that he was an important figure in the palace, immediately ordering someone to invite a appraiser.

  A moment later, an old man with a head of white hair walked in.

  The old man, who looked to be in his seventies or eighties, had a pair of eyes that shone brightly and piercingly. He glanced at Zhang Ruochen and found that he couldnt see through the others cultivation, which made him feel a sudden shock in his heart.

  The old man immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Ruochen, "This old man is the chief appraiser of the Central Auction House. I dont know where the thing you want to auction is."

  There are three situations where one cannot see through anothers cultivation: First, the other partys martial arts cultivation is higher than his.

  The second is that the other partys cultivation method is much more brilliant than his own.

  For example, a martial artist who cultivates human-level techniques generally cannot see through the cultivation of a martial artist who cultivates spiritual-level techniques. They can only roughly guess their opponents cultivation from some details and the aura they exhibit.

  Of course, if the level of Gongfa is similar, a person with higher cultivation can still see through the martial arts cultivation of a person with lower cultivation.

  The third is that the other party has a hidden treasure on their body that cultivates their skills.

  The second and third possibilities were not common, so the old man instinctively thought it was the first case, thinking that Zhang Ruochens cultivation was above his own, which is why he immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Ruochen.

  To know that Zhang Ruochen cultivates is the Nine Heavens Emperor Scripture, what a profound and mysterious technique it is. Unless he deliberately reveals the meridians in his body, probably no one in the entire Yunwu Commandery can see through his martial arts cultivation.

  Besides, Zhang Ruochens past life was originally a strong practitioner of the Tianji Boundary Great Perfection. Although he was reborn in an ordinary persons body, that understanding of martial arts and the essence of his soul were no different from those of a Tianji Boundary Great Perfection warrior.

  To see through his cultivation, unless the other partys martial arts realm is above the Tianji Boundary of Great Perfection.

  Zhang Ruochens hand extended into his sleeve, and with a touch on the surface of the Time-Space Crystal, his palm directly entered the inner space of the crystal, taking out the incantation of the Tianxin Sword Technique and handing it over to that elderly man with white hair.

  "What Im going to auction is this volume of low-grade spiritual swordsmanship." Zhang Ruochen said calmly.

  The chief appraiser had just received the oral formula of "Tianxin Swordsmanship" when he heard Zhang Ruochens words, and his heart was slightly startled. It turned out that they were going to auction off a low-grade spiritual swordsmanship.

  The chief appraiser immediately unfolded the rolled-up paper and studied it carefully.

  The great steward standing by also walked over immediately and together they examined the mnemonic chant of "Tian Xin Swordsmanship".

  The chief appraiser and the grandmaster were both high-ranking martial artists, and they quickly identified the result while nodding their heads.

  "Its indeed a low-grade spiritual sword technique incantation. I wonder how many moves of the Sword Art you have mastered, sir." asked Da Zhi Shi.

  The oral formula and sword moves must be used in conjunction with each other in order to bring out the true power of a low-grade spiritual sword technique.

  Even if the Grand Master and Chief Appraiser forcibly memorize the mantra of "Tianxin Swordsmanship", if there is no sword move to match it, then the memorized mantra will be useless.

  Zhang Ruochen said, "The entire set of sword techniques consists of twelve moves. The original version of the sword technique has already been lost, and the Tianxin Sword Technique in my hands is a sword move diagram drawn by a strong person at the Tianji boundary, which is no different from the original version of the sword technique."

  The chief appraiser pondered for a moment, then said: "In that case, lets set the starting price of Tian Xin Swordsmanship at 2 million silver coins. However, there is one condition: after the auction is successful, the buyer must inspect the sword moves and incantations of Tian Xin Swordsmanship. If the inspection reveals that it is not a spiritual-level inferior swordsmanship, the auction result will be invalid."

  Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Everything will be done according to the rules of the auction house."

  The auction of "Tianxin Swordsmanship" is tonight, and it will be the finale of the mid-range auction house tonight.

  Before the auction began, the central auction house immediately sent a message to each of the major families in Wang City.

  Important figures from various large families rushed to Wu City with huge sums of money, all wanting to get their hands on that complete set of low-grade spiritual sword techniques.

  Zhang Ruochen didnt care about the auction process, he only cared about the result of the auction.

  About two hours passed and the auction came to an end, with the results of the bidding also being announced.

  In the midst of the fierce competition among the various major families, the price of "Tian Xin Jian Fa" was driven up to 1.24 million silver coins, and was finally seized by the master of the Lin family.

  "Its actually the Lin family." Zhang Ruochen also felt slightly surprised upon hearing this result.

  Before long, led by the Grand Steward, Lin Fengxian, the master of the Lin family, Lin De, a clan uncle of the Lin family, and Lin Tianshan, one of the four young beauties of Yunwu County, walked in from outside.

  "Master Lin, this gentleman is the master of the Tianxin Swordsmanship." The chief attendants face was filled with a smile as he pointed towards Zhang Ruochen sitting at the top.

  Lin Fengxians gaze lingered on the pair of "Qilin-inlaid Golden Boots" on Zhang Ruochens feet for a moment, nodded slightly, and cupped his hands together, saying: "I am Lin Fengxian, the master of the Lin family. I dont know how to address you, sir."

  Before entering, Lin Feng had already heard the chief steward describe this mysterious person and knew that he was a big shot, possibly a major figure in the palace.

  So, it was only after Lin Feng walked in that he voluntarily lowered his posture as the master of the Lin family.

  When Zhang Ruochen saw Lin Fengxian and Lin Tianshang, he became even more cautious, for fear of being recognized by them.

  Zhang Ruochen coughed twice, his voice becoming hoarse: "You dont need to know my name. This is the Tianxin Swordsmanship incantation and sword move diagram, let Master Lin take a look."

  As they spoke, Zhang Ruochen took out the oral formula and sword move diagram from his sleeve and placed them on the table.

  Lin Fengxian did not review the "Tianxin Sword Method" incantation, he believed that the central auction house had already appraised the incantation before the auction.

  He unfolded the sword move diagram of "Tianxin Swordsmanship", and saw that there were twelve small human figures drawn on the paper.

  If an ordinary person looked at the twelve pictures, they couldnt see anything special about them. But when Lin Fengs eyes fell on the paper, the twelve small men holding long swords seemed to come alive and stood on the paper, dancing with their swordsmanship.

  Every move of swordsmanship is exquisite and unparalleled, containing the profound connotation of martial arts, even if you only learn one move, its already incredibly useful.

  "This set of swordsmanship is absolutely top-notch among the lower-grade spiritual skills, its a steal at this price!" Lin Fengs heart was extremely excited.
