Ye Xue had a strong feeling that the Doctrine Sword in her hand had been created for her . The Doctrine Sword was very excited as well when her fingers touched it . Thus, the secret of the shell of the Holy Artifact was exposed .
Jiang Chen saw through it even before the auction . It was impossible to find the secret of the Doctrine Sword from its appearance . Otherwise, Baohai Auctioneers would not have made such a mistake . But Jiang Chen knew it from his experience . This Doctrine Sword did not have any mark of forging . It looked completely natural . If it was not a deliberate forgery, there was only one possibility . It was a legendary weapon created by the universe .
What had happened confirmed his assumptions . Such a Doctrine Sword did not need any weapon master’s work . It would become sublime on its own in the hands of those suitable for it .
Weapon masters came into existence because of the need to study such legendary weapons . Outsiders did not know these inside stories, but everyone knew Jiang Chen had gotten a treasure .
Judging from the five Sacred Lords’ looks, they would purchase it immediately, even if it was sold at a price several times higher .
“This fella . ” Li Changqing flopped into his chair, as if he had lost all of his energy . Jiang Chen was like the nemesis of his life . He definitely would not have any chance with Ye Xue .
On the stage, Ya Qin announced the auction would continue . Compared to the breakthrough elixir and the Doctrine Sword, the lots that followed were less eye-catching . They did not create many disturbances .
Ye Xue was completely immersed in the sword . No one could catch her attention .
As a swordsman, Jiang Chen understood her perfectly . He felt proud of himself when seeing the happiness in his apprentice elder sister’s eyes . Next to him, Tian Ling had a weird face . She had not seen Jiang Chen for two years, and she felt him so distant . As rich as he was currently, was he still the same young man from the Realm of Nine Heavens? She started to envy Ye Xue as well, just like other women . She recalled Jiang Chen used to be very kind to her as well . They had been fighting together facing the Jiangs’ provocations . It was a pity that their paths had not crossed much since then, so they had not had the chance to know each other better .
“Master?”
Among all of them, Xie Ting was the one who understood the situation best . She was surprised to see Jiang Chen had spent such a great amount of money without even blinking an eye .
“Doesn’t matter . ” Master Luo Cheng was quite easy-going . He had disguised his true body to such an extent so that he could act freely .
The practicing body Lu Ping was responsible for practicing sword . Master Jiang Chen’s task was to accumulate wealth and improve his state through treasures . And the true body Jiang Chen was having adventures in the world to improve himself . When it was time for the Wizard Race’s banquet, even the dual-pupils wielder would not be able to stop him .
When the auctioneer was going to show the 43rd lot, Ye Xue suddenly put the Doctrine Sword aside . Then she stared at the stage .
Leaving the audience dangling, Ya Qin had not shown the thing yet . However, Ye Xue was an Ice Spirit . She could sense Ice Soul Stone easily . Seeing her like this, Jiang Chen knew it was time .
Then Ya Qin removed the red cloth covering the treasure . Everyone’s attention was caught .
“Ice Soul Stone was lost to the world for a long time . It couldn’t be found anywhere in the Nine Realms . The reappearance of various races brought many changes to the world . That’s how we found a fragment in a broken small world .
“Although it’s incomplete, it still has many of the legendary fantastic effects of Ice Soul Stone . ” Her last remark was heart-wrenching for Jiang Chen and Ye Xue .
It was not complete?
They looked at it carefully and found one of its sides seemed to have been torn off . Jiang Chen had not expected that . He was totally taken by surprise . Ye Xue’s brow knitted tightly . She stayed silent . However, their goal this day was still the same . They were going to get this Ice Soul Stone .
When Ye Xue was going to raise her hand, Jiang Chen somehow stopped her . In the meantime, Master Jiang Chen sitting in the first row raised his hand to bid . Many people knew Master Luo Cheng wanted an Ice Soul Stone to build Doctrine Artifacts, so no one was surprised .
Soon, on the stage, Ya Qin seemed to be bothered, because she found as soon as Master Jiang Chen bid, many other people interested in the stone gave up . In consideration of Master Jiang Chen’s renown, no one would be so silly as to offend him .
Seeing Jiang Chen would get the Ice Soul Stone soon by the starting price, Ya Qin said, “Since it was lost to the world for a long time, the minimum hammer price is 100 billion . ”
“He, he . ” Jiang Chen raised his hand to offer a new price as soon as he heard that .
It was extremely quiet in the hall . Some people showed a happy smile .
Ya Qin shook her head, but she had to accept the fact .
“One hundred and fifty billion . ”
To everyone’s surprise, someone else participated in the bidding at this moment . It was a voice no one had ever heard . It meant this person had not bid for other treasures yet . This person had been waiting for the Ice Soul Stone .
People all looked over . They saw the bidder was sitting in the tenth row .
“A Spirit?”
Many people were struck dumb by this person’s strong spiritual power .
“Why are you looking at me like that? I gather even Master Luo Cheng can’t stop others from bidding, can he?” she said in a playful tone, not afraid of the master at all .
This person was a woman . She was wearing a veil, so people could not see her face, but her body and voice were already attractive enough to provoke some men’s desires .
“It’s the energy of the Ice Spirit,” Ye Xue said in a low voice .
“Seriously?” Jiang Chen was very surprised . With Ye Xue representing the Ice Spirit here, who else was so unwise as to show up? Besides, the current Spirit was not strong enough to challenge a master here at all .
“The highest bidder will get it . That is the rule . I only hope, miss, you won’t disappoint me,” Master Luo Cheng said straightforwardly .
“That will be best . ”
In such a big auction house, this man and this woman were the only two who were bidding .
Ya Qin did not have to try hard to engage people in the auction anymore . She just let the two compete with each other . The price soon rose from 100 billion to a trillion .
Judging from the two’s tones, this was just the beginning .
“Darn it . ”
Ye Xue and Jiang Chen were very annoyed . This woman who had appeared out of nowhere was so impossible . If it were not for her, they would have gotten the Ice Soul Stone .
“As an Ice Spirit, I’ve never heard the Ice Soul Stone could be used to build Doctrine Artifacts . ” The veiled woman looked very sure she could get the stone . She was even in the mood to chit-chat .
“For thousands of years, no one has ever built a Doctrine Artifact in the present age . It’s normal that you’ve never heard about it,” Jiang Chen refuted her argument in a tough manner .
“Yes?” The veiled woman did not answer him . She did not say anything else .
When the price had surpassed the price of the breakthrough immortal elixir, the air in the hall was charged with tension . The two competitors also seemed nervous .
Seeing the price approaching 100 trillion, Ya Qin felt she had to say something . “Since Baohai Auctioneers is a responsible enterprise, we have a limit for the highest price . When a treasure’s price goes beyond the real value of it, we will fail the bid . ”
The highest price of the broken Ice Soul Stone should not go higher than 100 trillion .
The veiled woman could not sit still anymore . She knew Master Luo Cheng could afford it .
“Master, this thing is very important for my clan . Please give it to us although you treasure it a lot . ”
If they were in a normal bidding war, the veiled woman would have been driven away .
“If I have to take every stranger’s important things into consideration, why am I sitting here?” Master Luo Cheng said coldly .
Even if the world collapsed, no one could stop him from saving Xue’er .
