Big Boss Chou swept his gaze across the counter and released his mental power.
“This is a High Grade magic weapon!”
His eyes widened like a bull’s. He could not believe it. ‘A HighGrade magic weapon… Sir Ou actually took out a High Grade magic weapon.’
Big Boss Chou’s eyes were filled with shock. This was a High Grade magic weapon.
In the Humans’ territory, blacksmiths were not as rare as in the Dragons’ territory, but Advanced Blacksmiths were still hard to come by. Blacksmiths who could smith High Grade magic weapons were even less than 1 in 10,000.
This also caused the prices of High Grade magic weapons to remain high. The best magic weapons that the hunters had at the moment were only of Good Grade.
Steward Zhang looked at Big Boss Chou’s shocked expression and seemed to be happy that he had taken revenge. He said again, “Look at the others…”
Big Boss Chou hurriedly averted his gaze and released his mental power again.
Another High Grade magic weapon. Big Boss Chou felt somewhat numb already.
“Are all 3 of them High Grade magic weapons?”
Big Boss Chou had an unbelievable thought in his heart. He fixed his gaze on the silver-white treasure sword at the end. With a flash of light, the quality of the treasure sword appeared in his mind. This sword was actually a Fine Grade magic weapon, and it was of Fine Grade Rank Three.
He was dumbfounded.
At first, he thought that Ou Yangming would take out a few ordinary magic weapons to sell. At most, there would be a Good Grade magic weapon among them. He had never thought that the young fellow would take out such precious items.
“Sir Ou…”
Big Boss Chou looked at Ou Yangming.
He finally understood why Steward Zhang had strange looks on his face just now. Faced with these items, even he could not calm down.
Steward Zhang asked again, “Sir Ou, are you sure you want to sell these magic weapons?”
Before Ou Yangming could answer, Big Boss Chou hurriedly said, “Sir Ou, these magic weapons are priceless. A flying boat’s design only costs tens of thousands of high-grade spirit coins. I’ll give it to you. If you don’t accept it, take it as I’m lending the coins to you. Don’t sell these items!”
As a blacksmith maser, Ou Yangming could not understand the hunters’ desire for magic weapons. To them, magic weapons that were above Good Grade could not be measured by spirit coins.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming did not care. After learning how to use the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron, he could easily smith these magic weapons that were lower than Taoist Tools.
Hearing the bald man’s words, Steward Zhang was a little anxious. He said in a low voice, “Big Boss Chou, whether to sell them or not is Sir Ou’s decision. You don’t need to remind him.”
If he received these treasures, his performance would be improved a lot. Perhaps he could even be promoted. The people in the world were bustling for profits. For his own benefit, the steward was also a little jealous.
“Sell them,” Ou Yangming said.
After hearing Ou Yangming’s words, Steward Zhang immediately looked ecstatic. Since the young fellow had decided, Big Boss Chou had no choice. The bald man reluctantly looked away from the counter. The items were not his, but his heart was bleeding.
If he knew that Ou Yangming wanted to sell High Grade magic weapons, he would not have brought him here. Even if he had to sell everything, he would still buy one.
Steward Zhang was beaming with joy. He said with a grin, “Sir Ou, a High Grade magic weapon is usually for around 300,000 high-grade spirit coins. How about I give you 700,000 high-grade spirit coins for these 2 High Grade magic weapons?”
This was a little higher than the average price. It was somewhat because of Big Boss Chou, but the main reason was the High Grade magic weapons from Ou Yangming were not of Rank One, hence the final price was slightly higher.
Big Boss Chou had nothing to say about this.
Ou Yangming nodded and said, “Sure.”
The price was much higher than he had expected.
Steward Zhang turned to look at the Fine Grade Rank Three magic sword and said in a deep voice, “We’re willing to pay 1.5 million high-grade spirit coins for this magic weapon.”
This was the limit that Steward Zhang could offer. As for a higher price, he would need the approval of the higher-ups, which would be very troublesome.
After all, even the higher-ups of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce would not have thought that they would receive a Fine Grade Rank Three magic weapon in such a small place like the Beishan City.
“No!” Big Boss Chou hurriedly said.
Big Boss Chou looked at Ou Yangming with a fiery gaze and said, “Sir, the market price of a Fine Grade magic weapon is between 1 million and 2 million, but the real price fluctuates. Since Fine Grade magic weapons are incredibly rare, they might not even appear in the Beishan City in 100 years. If this is auctioned, it’ll surely be sold at a much higher price than 1.5 million high-grade spirit coins.”
“Is that so?” Ou Yangming looked at Steward Zhang.
Steward Zhang smiled bitterly and nodded. He did not expect Big Boss Chou to expose this. There was nothing wrong with the price he offered but once such a treasure appeared in the auction, the price would surely be much higher. The reason he did not mention it earlier was mainly for his own benefit.
Since Big Boss Chou had brought up the auction, Steward Zhang did not hide it anymore. He explained, “Sur Ou, the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce holds an auction every month. You can also choose to auction your magic weapon. You’ll only need to pay us a 5% fee for the transaction.”
“When’s the auction?” Ou Yangming asked.
“Today.”
Steward Zhang calculated the time and realized that it was about to begin. It was still not too late to send the magic weapon over at this time.
Since Ou Yangming could gain more spirit coins from the auction could get more spirit coins, he naturally chose to auction the treasure sword. Furthermore, he was also somewhat interested in the auction. Perhaps he could even encounter some precious materials. If he were to encounter the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit… This was only his thought. After all, the chances were very slim.
Soon, Steward Zhang made some arrangements and sent over an interspatial bag containing 700,000 high-grade spirit coins, as well as a golden membership card.
Steward Zhang explained, “Sir, this is the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce’s golden membership card. Only powerhouses who have done transactions over 1 million spirit coins in our Chamber of Commerce can obtain it. In the future, you can use this card to access every floor in the Chamber of Commerce. Besides, you can also buy things with a 10% discount.”
Ou Yangming did not hesitate and accepted the gift. With this card, it would be much more convenient for him. At least, he would not be blocked outside.
After putting away the high-grade spirit coins and the card, Steward Zhang brought Ou Yangming, Big Boss Chou, and the others to the third floor and arranged an elegant private room for them.
The third floor was the auction house of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce. After the few of them sat, someone quickly brought them tea.
From the private room, they could clearly see the scene below. The floor below was filled with people. There seemed to be at least a hundred people. Steward Zhang explained, “Only those who were White Silver Members are qualified to participate in the auction.”
Ou Yangming finally understood what was going on. He had been wondering where those people who went up from the first floor had gone. It seemed that they had come to participate in the auction.
The timing was also coincidental as the auction happened to be held on this day.
After Steward Zhang sent Ou Yangming and the others in, he left the private room. He was still responsible for the matters on the second floor. It was a pity that he did not directly buy the Fine Grade magic weapon, but he was also the one who recommended the young fellow to come to the auction. He would gain a small credit for this.
Ou Yangming and the others arrived relatively late. The auction soon began.
The host of the auction was an enchanting lady. She stood in the middle of the stage, and her voice was elegant and loud. Her charming tone could easily arouse everyone’s enthusiasm.
“I’ve just received news that there’ll be a surprise at the auction today.”
The enchanting woman smiled leisurely, charming everyone.
As such, the crowd below began to clamor. They wondered what the surprise would be.
Everyone guessed that given the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce was one of the top 3 chambers of commerce on the continent, they must have obtained something good.
The people interacted with each other, but no one knew what the surprise was.
Upon seeing this, the red-clothed lady looked around with great satisfaction. After a moment, she said, “The time has come. The monthly auction of the Glorious Treasures Chamber of Commerce has officially begun. The first item is a Grade 5 spiritual herb, the Deep Sea Bauhinia Flower.”
As the lady spoke, a graceful maid walked over from the side. She was holding an exquisite box in her hand.
The lady in red took the box and said, “I’m sure everyone has heard of the Deep Sea Bauhinia Flower. It can only be born in the deep sea. It has the effect of condensing spirit and gathering Qi, so it’s very useful to cultivate with it. Besides, it can be refined into a Bauhinia Pill.”
She briefly introduced the effects of the spiritual medicine, then she said, “The starting bid for the high-grade Bauhinia Flower is 10,000 high-grade spirit coins. Each raise mustn’t be less than 1,000 high-grade spirit coins.”
As soon as she finished, the people below began to bid for it.
Ou Yangming, Big Boss Chou, and the others were sitting in the private room. They had no interest in this spiritual medicine. Ou Yangming’s alchemy skills were too poor. He could refine the Eternal Pills in the Spiritual Realm but It was entirely because of his natal fire, and the pill itself was not difficult to be refined.
It was completely different in the Great Wide World. There were complex spiritual medicines here, by which Ou Yangming did not know even 1 in 10,000 of the spiritual medicines here, so it would be a joke for him to bring up alchemy.
Ou Yangming planned to go to the Mystic Sky Sect not only to find the Mystic Ice Jade Fruit, but he also wanted to learn real alchemy skills. Putting aside comparing himself to the Crimson Ruler, he must not be too poor in alchemy skills. If not, even if he was given the complete materials, it would be impossible for him to refine the Nine Revolutions Golden Pills.
Just as Ou Yangming was thinking, the first treasure had been sold.
It was sold for more than 50,000 high-grade spirit coins, which was more than the price of an ordinary Good Grade magic weapon.
Ou Yangming thought of the few Dragon Fragrant Herbs that Long Shao had given him when he was in the Dragons. Those were Grade 7 spiritual herbs, so they were definitely not cheap. Those were good items that could guide people to comprehend the path. The young fellow had used one and only had 4 left.
Next was the second item, the third item…
Time passed very quickly. The treasures that were auctioned were pretty good, but Ou Yangming had no intention of bidding for them, let alone magic weapons. Even he himself could not use all of them, so he would not buy them. As for the other items, he was just not interested in most of them.
“This treasure is the Lightning Ore…”
After the red-dressed lady introduced the next treasure’s use, Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up, and he stood up..
