Chapter Eighty-Three: A Sword's Cold Light, Lonely and Cold

  As soon as the words fell, someone below moved and started bidding.

  The three things Huo Fengyao took out were all special products of the Huo family. Although they were not of high quality, they won in rarity.

  In Chu State, the prices of seven-treasured artifacts are generally below 1 million gold coins. First and second-grade materials, including alchemy materials and artifact-refining materials, although equivalent to seven-treasured boundary grade, are relatively cheaper in price.

  That Huo Lian Huo Xue Cao, if it falls into the hands of an experienced alchemist, combined with various auxiliary materials, one plant can refine a furnace of second-grade Huo Xue Dan. And one furnace of second-grade Huo Xue Dan is about nine pieces, worth at least 30,000.

  Of course, this includes the cost of auxiliary materials and the cost of the alchemist's labor.

  After careful calculation, this Fire Refining Herb actually costs a maximum of 10,000 gold coins.

  That hundred-year-old flame spirit magma beast's heart's hot blood is actually a good thing.

  The centennial flame spirit magma beast, its strength is not inferior to that of an ordinary seven-treasures realm strongman. One drop of its heart's hot blood is equivalent to one drop of blood essence. Of course, if taken directly, excluding the wasted part, what remains is far from enough to condense a single drop of blood essence. The best way is still to use it for alchemy.

  The tail feathers of the seventh treasure realm fire crow are worth a bit more than the first two, but they're not that much higher.

  Soon, these three things were exchanged for other items by others. Some were bartered, while others were settled directly with gold coins.

  The Phoenix Feather is just a brick to attract jade, mobilizing the atmosphere. The next appraisal exchange is the real show.

  For example, a young man with nine drops of blood essence took out a disposable seven-treasure artifact called "Exploding Arrow", which had a higher power than most seven-treasure artifacts. However, as it was disposable after all, its value was greatly discounted and was eventually bought by someone else for 50,000 gold coins.

  This appraisal meeting is one by one, whoever wants to take out their treasure can take it out and exchange it with others.

  After a stick of incense, the young man called "Luohongmu" took out something good.

  It was a piece of red wood, extremely dense and very heavy. A small piece the size of a palm weighed as much as 100 catties.

  "This is... the heartwood of a million-year-old Red Shirt Tree? Good stuff, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and can suppress ghostly creatures. If used to refine a magic tool, it's almost possible to refine a Five Elements Boundary magic tool!" Someone recognized it.

  The Red Shirt Tree, perhaps not too rare. But not every Red Shirt Tree can produce wood heart. Only those that grow in special places, day and night suffering from the erosion of the mysterious gas, can produce wood heart.

  It can be said that this small piece of wood core is worth more than any seven-treasured boundary artifact.

  "This piece of wood heart, I like it very much. One hundred thousand gold coins, is that a good price?" Someone made an offer.

  But Luo Hongmu slowly shook his head: "I don't need gold coins. If anyone has a drop of Clear Dew, I'll return this wooden core to him. If not, then forget it."

  What is Clarity?

  Everyone shook their heads slowly, and no one had ever heard of it.

  At this time, Chu Cheng's heart moved slightly, and he took out a small jade bottle and handed it to Luo Hongmu: "Is this it?"

  Naluo Hongmu, who had seemed hopeless at first, became excited as soon as he took the jade bottle and opened it, smelling its contents. He exclaimed repeatedly:

  "Ah, that's it! You have about ten drops here, give them all to me? What do you want, I'll give it to you. How about gold coins, I'll give you a million gold coins!"

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly and shook his head, saying, "I'm not short of gold coins either."

  Lu Hongmu was suddenly disheartened: "Then what do you want? You say it, I'll definitely satisfy you."

  Chu Cheng shook his head again and smiled: "This bottle of Qing Jing Lu, consider it a gift from me."

  "Give it to me?" Luo Hongmu's face was incredulous: "This is a Clear Dew worth millions, and you're actually giving it to me?"

  Chu Cheng smiled and said, "Just now, Huo Lianxiang wanted to slip away quietly. You stood up for me and exposed his plan, I'm extremely grateful. This small bottle of Qing Jing Lu is enough to consider us friends. Besides, I also obtained this thing unexpectedly, so don't mind it."

  This clear dew was unexpectedly obtained from Sun Yan's body at first.

  It turns out that he still has many good things about him now.

  After killing Sun Yan, he obtained all of Sun Yan's treasures.

  On that day, the pure and unmatched woman struck down Red William with one move, then floated away. The good things on Red William's body, except for what was divided among Yin Wu Youquan, Leng Cang Feng, and Dongfang Ye, probably about a fifth of it fell into his hands.

  Sun Yan's treasure is worth no less than 2 million. The red William's one-fifth treasure is also worth 30-40 million.

  As for why Sun Yan was able to take out tens of millions of gold coins at the auction?

  That's because he also had the Wuliang Treasure Pavilion's money card, which fell into Chu Cheng's hands, but it was bound to Sun Yanzhi's soul and couldn't be used, so in the end, at least it was destroyed.

  When Chu Cheng made a generous move, Luo Hongmu was stunned.

  Although he is a member of the Lu family, one of the four major families, how many children does the Lu family have? There are at least 800,000. Although Luo Hongmu is considered one of the best among them, there are no less than ten geniuses at his level.

  In this way, Luohongmu can get a total of 10,000 gold coins as pocket money every month.

  Don't think it's little, the monthly allowance in Chu City is only ten gold coins... How rich is the Dongfang family? Dongfang Ye also has only one hundred gold coins per month.

  So, Luo Hongmu's current assets are only over 500,000 gold coins. He said he would spend 1 million gold coins, which means he has to borrow money from others.

  But Chu Cheng, with a flick of his wrist, was a million gold coins in Qing Jing Lu, without even raising an eyebrow, this is how big the handwriting is?

  "Alright, just take it. I'm telling you, Chu Cheng has so much money he doesn't know what to do with it, don't be polite." Ling Die'er whispered with a smile.

  She knew that Chu Cheng was just a life-saving jade box, and he had earned 200 million. One million gold coins were nothing to him.

  Luohongmu looked at Chucheng deeply, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "This Qingjinglu is of great use to me, so I'll take it. I owe you a favor, I will definitely return it to you someday!"

  Chu Cheng smiled and didn't say anything.

  The affection of a talented young man from a noble family may be worth more than millions of gold coins.

  Chu Cheng weighed the wooden sword in his hand, and indeed it was extremely heavy. If he didn't have arms with the strength of ten thousand catties, he really wouldn't be able to lift it.

  The reason I bought this wooden core is that I wanted to get in touch with the Redwood, and secondly, it can actually be used to synthesize some good things.

  As the cultivation increased, dozens of new synthesis formulas appeared in the Super Synthesis Book, and it was strange that the items synthesized by these formulas seemed to be a set.

  Of course, this is not the time for in-depth analysis, and the wine tasting and treasure appreciation will continue.

  This wine tasting and appraisal is also an art form.

  First was Huo Fengyu, who took out three things to start with, then they were arranged according to their cultivation level, the lower the cultivation level, the more they were placed in front.

  Chu City was not highly cultivated, but he relied on his own strength to reach the twenty-seventh floor. So after everyone on the twenty-sixth floor finished, it was finally his turn.

  Chu Cheng smiled slightly and took out a precious sword.

  This is a very well-decorated treasure sword, but it's slightly damaged. However, its grade isn't low, it's a Five Elements artifact and a good one at that.

  "Is this... the family heirloom sword of the Jin Yaosi's Sun clan? Where did you get it from?" someone exclaimed.

  Chu Cheng glanced at him and said lightly, "What's this, tasting wine and appraising treasures, must you also ask about their origin?"

  "Haha, of course not. I'm also from Jinyao City, and I heard that the genius Sun Yan from the Sun family had his fate plate shattered and died an unjust death. It couldn't be your doing, could it?" The man chuckled.

  "Is it related to you?" Chu Cheng said calmly.

  "Haha, that's alright. However, this sword is after all a Sun family heirloom. If someone outside of the Sun family were to wield it, I'm afraid it would be quite inconvenient?" The man said with a smile.

  "What does this have to do with you? If you want that sword, bring something to exchange for it. If not, then just stand aside and stop talking nonsense!" Ling Die'er suddenly said angrily.

  "Why must you be angry, Miss Butterfly? I was just telling the truth. If you don't like it, then I'll just shut up." The man didn't get angry either, his face calm and serene, he slightly narrowed his eyes, and actually ignored her.

  However, his words did have an effect. Several people who had seemed very interested initially began to hesitate. The Jin family was not a small clan after all, and if they wanted the sword, they would have to consider their feelings.

  "This sword, I'll take it." Suddenly, Dugu Han said calmly.

  "What's wrong?" Chu Cheng was slightly taken aback.

  A true sword master only needs one sword. Dugu Han already possesses a top-grade Songwen treasure sword forged by the Nine-Furnace Master himself, so why does he want to exchange it for this obviously inferior sword now?

  However, Chu Cheng thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

  That lonely coldness unexpectedly helped him, not wanting him to lose face, so he spoke out to exchange for this precious sword.

  His face was icy cold, but he didn't think that his heart was warm.

  Dugu Xian waved his hand and the treasured sword flew in front of him.

  Dugu Han slightly opened his eyes, glanced at the treasure sword, and nodded: "The sword is not a top-grade item, but it's still a high-quality one, worth more than 500,000 gold coins. However, since it has some damage, I'll deduct 50,000 gold coins from the price. Chucheng, what do you want?"

  Chu Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that Dugu Han was helping him, but he didn't decline. Instead, he smiled and said: "Then it's 5 million gold coins. Brother Dugu, this sword is yours."

  Chu Cheng is not a greedy person, nor does he like owing others favors. However, he must acknowledge the favor from Du Guhan.

  He had already seen that Dugu Han was extremely arrogant, and most people in the world were not worthy of his attention. However, once he looked highly upon someone, he would unintentionally maintain a good relationship with that person.

  In short, many people like a certain star and don't allow others to slander or insult this person... This is the logic.

  It's absolutely not easy to get close to such a person. And wanting to win his heart is even more difficult.

  Many times, owing others a favor and having others owe you a favor are equally important.

  Thanks to this human relationship as a bond, the relationship between the two has made progress and it is possible to come and go frequently in the future. At worst, it also opens a window and connects a road, with a long future ahead.
