Chapter 28: Azure Light Sword
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The presentation of the Azure Light Sword excited everyone. The cyan glow beamed from the sword and made the sword extremely attractive.
Whether it was Ke Kuang and Ye Changsheng sitting in the VIP room, or the Qin father and son in the private room, all their hearts swelled with enthusiasm.
If they were able to take this Azure Light Sword, it would definitely be an extra benefit for them during the Limestone Champion List competition. Not only did they desire a spot in the top five, but they also desired the glory of being in first place.
The Azure Light Sword was the type of weapon most people were accustomed to using. Some families even had its techniques passed down from their ancestors.
However, after Ye Mo took a look of the weapon, he immediately lost interest. He already knew the Formation-Breaking Spear technique. If he could be equipped with a high-grade spear instead of a sword, by using the spear technique, it would not only be instantly kill all of his opponents in the same realm, but also martial artists above his realm.
On the other hand, Leng Leng and Xiao Yue’s eyes were flashing with enthusiasm. It was obvious that both the girls’ preferred weapon was the sword.
“With this Azure Light Sword, my Ye clan’s Six Pillar Sword Style will be able to actualise its full potential,” Ye Kuang said loudly as he stared at the Azure Light Sword on the auction floor.
The Six Pillar Sword Style was the Ye Clan’s most famous sword style of all. The six pillars combined into one while varying in different forms, launching offensive and violent attacks of great damage. The Ye Clan once had a powerful member who completely cultivated the Six Pillar Sword Style; a whole mountain was pierced through by his attacked. His technique posed incredible power.
In the other VIP room, Man Tai did not look at the Azure Light Sword, but had his eyes always on Qi Ying.
“Man Tai, are you not interested in the weapon at all?” Mo Feng felt that Man Tai had not even paid any attention to the Azure Light Sword, so he could not help but ask.
“We Barbarians never use swords. Swords are for girls.”
Barbarians are born with great strength, hence are all good at using axes, blades, and war-hammers, all large-sized weapons. The Barbarians were also natural-born weapon forgers, but they were only good at forging weapons like axes and blades.
“Nevertheless, even my Barbarian race does not have that many high-grade magic weapons like this. Rest assured, as long as you eliminate Xiao Yue from the Limestone Champion List, I will pay for a half of the price of the sword,” Man Tai said.
After hearing what Man Tai said, Mo Feng immediately smiled obediently and said, “Man Tai, I appreciate your confidence in me. Xiao Yue is only at the Spirit Cultivating Second Realm, and the beast she controls is only at the Third Realm. If I could be equipped with this weapon, I will easily defeat her.”
Qi Ying looked at the noisy auction venue, waved her hand, and smiled, “The price of a mid-grade magic weapon is 100 purple gold pieces. Hence, a high-grade magic weapon will have the starting price of 500 purple gold pieces.”
As soon as the starting price was stated, many members of minor families shouted out their bids.
“600 purple gold pieces!”
“700 purple gold pieces!”
“800 purple gold pieces!”
As Ye Mo heard the price rise, he could not help but shake his head. 800 purple gold pieces was definitely a price that was unthinkable for an average person. Even so, clan members still shouted such numbers for what Ye Mo thought as just a weapon.
This was a world dominated by the strong. Next to power, wealth and beauty were not worth mentioning.
When the price reached 1000 purple gold pieces, the noises at the present scene gradually weakened. Having said that, many at the venue knew this was just the beginning of the auction as the four major families still had not made their bids.
“1100 purple gold pieces!” Ye Kuang said.
“How pitiful it is to only bid 1100 purple gold pieces! 2000 purple gold pieces,” Man Tai said loudly.
When this price was declared, many turned their attention to the VIP room where Man Tai and Mo Feng sat. 2000 purple gold pieces! Even the four major families could not raise such an amount of money.
“Who is this guy?” Ye Kuang’s complexion changed slightly. 2000 purple gold pieces! The Ye Clan would not be able to gather that much money at once.
At the same time, the Limestone City leader Qin Huang in the other room paled. That price was just crazy. In the whole of Limestone City, who else would be able to afford such a price?
“Haha, are you seeing their surprised expressions? Even with the Qin, Ye, Xiao clans’ power, they do not dare to raise such a large sum of money. The Azure Light Sword is going to belong to us.”
A large smile took up much of Mo Feng’s face. This Azure Light Sword’s cost would be split between the Mo family and the Barbarians, and all he had to do was stop Xiao Yue from entering top five in the Limestone Champion List competition. “We’ve struck an incredible deal.”
“As long as I make my move, all the Ye or Qin clan members will have to stand aside,” Man Tai laughed and said. The power of the Barbarians was beyond comparable to the small families of Limestone City.
“Who is this, the man who bid 2000 purple gold pieces right away?” Ye Mo said with surprise.
Xiao Yue’s brows knitted together as she pondered,””Just by the sound of his voice, it should be Man Tai, but the Barbarians do not even use swords. Why would he still want the weapon?”
“Yue Yue, this dude already bid 2000 purple gold pieces. I reckon no one will dare to compete with him.”
As the bid of 2000 purple gold pieces was announced, no one in any of the other clans said a single word. Ye Kuang and Qin Huang were both feeling somewhat gloomy, as the price of 2000 purple gold pieces clearly was not affordable for them.
Qi Ying, who stood on the auction floor, was also a bit shocked. The price had far exceeded her expectations.
“2000 purple gold pieces. Any more bids?”
Everyone was speechless. Man Tai and Mo Feng both had smug smiles on their face, especially Mo Feng who, in his mind, was already imagining how he would use the Azure Light Sword to excel in the Limestone Champion List competition.
“If no one is going to raise a higher bid, then I will…” Before Qi Ying could finish her sentence, a calm and old voice spoke u.
“The old man bids 200 pieces of Stabilizing Pills.”
Bidding 200 pieces of Stabilizing Pills? Everyone sitting around Ye Mo was stupefied. Was using Stabilizing Pills to raise a bid even permissible?
Even if he was bidding with Stabilizing Pills, it would still not be enough. Although the price of Stabilizing Pills is much higher than that of the Rank Two Fortifying Pills, that would still be only equal one purple gold piece per pill. 200 pieces of Stabilizing Pills would only be worth 200 purple gold. Was this old guy confused?
“Haha. Hey old guy, are you stupid?”
“He wants to buy the Azure Light Sword with only a few Stabilizing Pills?” Mo Feng said with disdain.
Hearing the sneers and laughter around him, Ye Mo coughed a few times and said, “Sorry, the old man did not make it clear just now. It is 200 Stabilizing Pills with markings and pill fragrances.”
Ye Mo’s sentence set off a ruckus in the auction. Stabilizing Pills originally had the effect of assisting Energy Shaping Realm martial artists in their cultivation, but Stabilizing Pills with markings and pill fragrances would even strengthen those martial artists’ mortal gates and body, laying the foundation for an elevation to the True Energy Realm in the future.
A Stabilizing Pill with markings and pill fragrances was definitely worth a high price!
“How is this possible? How could there be such an alchemist master in Limestone City?” Qi Ying said in amazement.
“Sh*t, if I knew who that old man was, I would kill him,” Man Tai said with an angry face. As the young master of the Barbarians, how could he not understand what great value Stabilizing Pills with markings and pill fragrances posed?
“Damn it, it’s them!” Mo Feng’s face became a bit gloomy as he recalled what Ye Mo had said earlier.
“You know him?”
“I don’t, but he has already accepted Xiao Yue as his disciple. He is a powerful alchemist master.” Mo Feng said.
“Even if he’s a powerful alchemist, I will still make him pay the price for this.” Man Tai smashed the table next to him.
“It seems like the little guy actually asked his master for help. The master can even synthesize Stabilizing Pills with markings and pill fragrances. My Qi clan will, at all costs, invite this alchemist master to our side.” Qi Ying’s eyes lit up as she secretly made up her mind. She already had the answer in her heart to who the Azure Light Sword should belong to.
