This time, Jiang Moliang didn't ignore what he had said . She didn't think it funny, either .
They were sitting close enough for her to perceive the coldness deep in Jiang Chen's eyes .
As a Celestial Venerable, she couldn't help but recoil in shock .
When she had come to herself, Jiang Chen had looked away . He was looking at the stage .
Jiang Moliang snorted . She stopped arguing .
Jiang Chen's reaction made her realize this Young Master Wind, whose origin was a mystery, wasn't a person easy to deal with .
"Glad to see you in the monthly Treasure Auction again . Although we won't have ten thousand treasures here, I guarantee you won't feel disappointed . "
The host of the auction was a pretty woman .
She was not only pretty, but also a Celestial Venerable . Otherwise, she wouldn't have got the opportunity to stand before so many big shots .
She reminded Jiang Chen of Yin Shuang, who was also very good at hosting .
Like all of the auctions, the first auction item was a valuable treasure .
"To start today's auction, the first treasure is a magic weapon . I guess doubts have arisen in many people, since in spite of the value of a magic weapon, it's not very appropriate to use it to start the auction . However, you'll tumble to the reason once you see this magic weapon . "
After the woman's introduction, the valuable treasure was shown to the audience .
The audience immediately knew what was special about it .
It was a short sword placed on a special iron holder .
Without any influence from anything, electric arcs were jumping along the short sword!
It was covered with a brilliant white light .
"Is this only a magic weapon?"
Soon, someone asked .
This short sword could no doubt be called a Doctrine Artifact .

But sure, they thought this way because none of them had really seen a Doctrine Artifact .
Those who had seen a Doctrine Artifact would see the many flaws this short sword had . For example, Jiang Chen .
Then, smiling mysteriously at the audience, the woman reached out for the short sword . Her arm was fair-skinned and slim .
When she had grasped the handle of the short sword, some people involuntarily felt worried for her .
However, she wasn't hurt by the short sword . As soon as she grasped the handle, the radiance of the short sword soared, and the electric arcs became purple and finger-thick .
"This Lightning Sword is the work of a brilliant master . He triggered thunders to make it . "
"The owner of the short sword will be able to control thunders, and not just average thunders, but heaven thunders . "
"Although it doesn't have the doctrinal charm that those Doctrine Artifacts usually have, it is as powerful as them . "
The woman put down the Lightning Sword . Those violent electric arcs calmed down gradually as she moved her hand away .
It's a nice short sword .
Jiang Chen thought . Although the maker of the short sword had kind of resorted to trickeries, his idea was audacious, creative and original, and he wasn't afraid to try new things . That was what Jiang Chen appreciated .
He guessed it wasn't made by a spiritual bladesmith .
Its maker should be a practicer who started to study spiritual weapons after having achieved a very high state .
Thanks to his state, which allowed him to be fearless of heaven thunders, he managed to achieve what many spiritual bladesmiths couldn't achieve .
It didn't sound very fair, but life was unfair indeed .
This short sword suited Jiang Chen, too, since he was practicing the Nine Clouds Divine Lightning Formula .
However, it wasn't a practicing resource . As a result, the Jiangs wouldn't pay for him .
"We start at 500 million upper-grade yuan stones . Each bid should be at least ten million more than the previous one . "
The price the woman had announced was as shocking as the short sword itself .

The enthusiasm in many people's eyes was decreasing, but there were still quite a few people eager to bid for it .
"It's so expensive!"
Lan, sitting next to Jiang Chen, thought it incredible .
Although Jiang Chen also bid 60 million for her, it was only because he was at war with Mu Qiyun .
At the Fairy Maiden Bar, the bid wouldn't be higher than ten million .
But here, the bid for a short sword started at 500 million .
In less than a minute, the price had risen to one billion . And the bidding was still very hot . The hammer price would be much more than that .
Jiang Chen couldn't move his eyes away from the short sword . He wanted to buy it . It would be very helpful to his holy method .
The reason he hesitated wasn't that the Jiangs wouldn't allow him to do it .
It was actually because he already had enough swords, and he was able to make a short sword exactly like it .
However, he couldn't do it at the moment .
That was why he wanted it .
If he had a sword that could control heaven thunders, he would be strong enough to fight with a Celestial Venerable indeed .
"One billion and 50 million . "
After thinking it over and over again, Jiang Chen finally bid .
He would spend all of his savings, but he never thought one could be rich through saving .
Carpe diem -- that was his motto .
However, as soon as he bid, he attracted numerous people's surprised looks .
"What are you doing?!"
Jiang Moliang said coldly, "Do you expect the Jiangs to buy you a weapon?"

She didn't speak through holy awareness, so many people heard her .
The surprised people showed an interesting smile . They were curious how Jiang Chen would react .
"I'm subject to the blood oath, but I'm not subjected to your judgment . Go back where you came from when the auction is over," Jiang Chen said calmly .
Jiang Moliang pressed her lips into a thin line . Her look was as sharp as a sword .
"Alas, let me relieve someone from his awkward situation . One billion 70 million . "
Mu Qitian raised his arm to bid . He said, "If you don't have money, don't . . . "
"One billion and 80 million," Jiang Chen interrupted him by bidding .
Mu Qiyun's smile froze on his face right away .
Others were also puzzled . The Jiangs had made it clear that they wouldn't pay for him . Why was he still bidding?
Even the woman on the stage wanted to warn him, but she thought it would be too offensive, so in the end, she didn't .
"Miss Jiang, will the Jiangs pay for the auction?"
It was Mu Qitian who posed the critical question .
"No," Jiang Moliang said decisively .
"So, he is just horsing around?"
Mu Qitian looked towards the stage . He said, "Won't the Committee of the Treasure Auction do something about it?"
Instantly, the woman was under the gaze of everyone on the scene . What she would say next would be crucial .
As the host of the auction, she was calm enough to deal with the crisis . She said slowly, "As long as this client is sitting there, he has the right to bid . Whether he is rich enough isn't what we should focus on now . It's very disrespectful to say things like that at this moment . "
Many people agreed with her .
"It's the problem between you young people . Don't let it affect the auction . It's quite inappropriate . "
A great Venerable said unhappily .
Mu Qitian turned pale immediately . He was sweating heavily .
It was him with whom the great Venerable was unhappy .
The bid continued . The price soon reached one billion 100 million .
In the whole process, Jiang Chen had been actively engaged in the bidding .
People started to talk when there had been only few bidders left .
Where did Jiang Chen get the confidence without the support of the Jiangs?
However, the committee of the Treasure Auction had aired their opinion . He had the right to bid .
If in the end he stopped bidding and someone else got the Lightning Sword, he would do nothing wrong .
Unless . . .
"One billion 200 million . "
Jiang Chen bid again . The other bidders all stayed silent this time .
Five seconds later, the woman on the stage spoke .
"One billion 200 million, first . "
Mu Qitian cheered up upon hearing this . He looked he was gloating .
"One billion 200 million, second . "
Mu Qitian couldn't help but smile .
He would have burst out laughing if he had seen panic on Jiang Chen's face .
"One billion 200 million, last chance . "
"Sold!"
In this way, Jiang Chen got the Lightning Sword .
It meant he would have to pay one billion 200 million upper-grade yuan stones .
