Chapter 20 The Auction and Swordsmanship(1/2)
Six days later.
Han Zhao was dressed in white clothes and a fox mask, pretending to be Song Que, and came to Chenjiabao in Jiulian Town.
It is said to be an earthen fort, but it is actually a small city.
The level of prosperity inside is no less than that of the inner city of Black Rock City, but it's just not as big as the inner city.
As a force with martial arts training, Chen Jiabao has this strength.
No one dares to make trouble around Jiulian Town, otherwise they will not give Chenjiabao face.
That day, after Han Zhao left Jiulian Mountain, he ran directly back to Black Rock City.
Although I don’t know how Zhu Kangsheng dealt with the aftermath, he did return to Lianfeng Villa safely.
Apparently, Feilong Village did not know that he had killed three bandits.
"I hope it can be sold at a good price."
Han Zhao originally thought that the auction would be held in Chenjiabao, but after asking, he found out that the auction was held in the lobby on the second floor of Jiangyue Restaurant in the center of the town.
This is quite convenient.
When Han Zhao arrived at Jiangyue Restaurant, there was a row of warriors standing at the door with swords on their waists. They were all wearing blue slim-fitting clothes and had the word "Chen" embroidered on their chests. They were all members of the Chen family.
Seeing Han Zhao walking towards the gate, one of the Chen family's children came forward, cupped his fist at him and said, "You are here to attend my Chen family's auction?"
"Yes." Han Zhao said calmly.
"Please show the invitation token for the auction, or pay the admission fee of ten taels of silver first. The money will be returned in full when the auction is over." The Chen family member explained.
Han Zhao took out the token he got from the knife hunter's stronghold from his arms.
The children of the Chen family took the token and checked it. After confirming it, they returned the token to Han Zhao and gave up their place. "The auction will be held in the lobby on the second floor, please!"
Han Zhao paused and asked: "I want to auction a secret book, who should I go to?"
"The supervisor is on the second floor, just look for him."
"Well, thank you." Han Zhao nodded, stepped into the door, and followed the stairs to the second floor.
There were armchairs in the hall on the second floor. There were about seventy or eighty of them. The distance between each chair was about two meters. Half of the chairs were already occupied by people. Some of these people
There are warriors in fine attire, and there are also noble gentry in luxurious clothes.
Many warriors also wore masks to hide their figures, and some were covered in black robes, making it impossible to tell the difference between men and women.
There is a wooden table at the front of the hall. A sturdy middle-aged man is sitting on the chair, and behind him are four warriors with swords at their waists.
Han Zhao stepped forward, took out the 'Songfeng Sword Technique' and asked for the auction.
"Songfeng Sword Technique?" The middle-aged man seemed to have heard of this sword technique. He looked at Han Zhao who was hiding his figure, stood up and clasped his fists and said, "You are Song Que?"
"Yes." Han Zhao nodded. As he successively killed wanted criminals, he became somewhat famous among knife hunters.
"I, Chen Yang, am the supervisor who specializes in hosting the Chenjiabao auction." Chen Yang handed a white token with a number written on it to Han Zhao, "After the auction, please use this token to withdraw money.
.In addition, the starting price of this swordsmanship is set at eighty taels. If the auction fails, you still have to pay a 5% commission, is that okay?"
"Yeah." Han Zhao took the token and set the starting price of Songfeng Swordsmanship at eighty taels, which was not high.
After giving Chen Yang a fist salute, he went to the back row and sat down by the window, away from the stairs.
After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the auction began.
In the meantime, people came to the second floor one after another, but the chairs in the venue were still not full, and there were still a dozen empty ones.
Chen Yang stood up, cupped his fists and said to everyone in the venue: "I didn't expect that so many people would come to support the large-scale auction before the end of the year. Chen thanked you for your compliments."
"As for Director Chen, Chenjiabao's place will naturally be praised."
The warriors below responded immediately.
Chen Yang stopped being polite and said: "Without further ado, the auction will begin now. First of all, the first auction item is a marksmanship that can be practiced to the bone training realm, called the 'Soul Chasing Marksmanship', with a starting price of 30 taels."
."
The martial arts skills for training weapons are obviously more powerful than fists and kicks. The most common ones are knife skills and sword skills. Things like spears, halberds and sticks are rarer.
However, warriors who can afford to practice weapons have some financial resources, so people are not very enthusiastic about marksmanship that can only be practiced to the bone training level.
But there are still bids.
"35 taels!" A man wearing a grimace mask bid.
"40 taels." An old man next to Han Zhao followed and took pictures.
But apart from the two of them, there was no third person bidding.
In the end, this 'soul-chasing marksmanship' was photographed by the man in the mask with a ghost face for 50 taels of silver.
Then, Chen Yang threw out two more bone-training realm weapon techniques, but there were still only a few bidders.
"The next book, 'Songfeng Sword Technique', can be used to practice to the level of blood training. Although it does not have a basic diagram of entering energy, it does have a diagram of the circulation of qi and blood. The starting price is 80 taels."
Seeing that everyone was not very interested, Chen Yang took out a better secret book.
"'Songfeng Sword Technique'? Isn't this Songfeng Sword Zhou Han's famous skill?"
"He has broken through to the blood training realm? So he is short of money to sell secret books?"
"Sell it for nothing! He must have been ripped off!"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, the sound of conversation could be heard in the venue.
Zhou Han can also be regarded as a relatively famous warrior below the blood training level.
Of course, it's not a good reputation.
"90 taels!"
"100 taels!"
"110 taels!"
Everyone made bids one after another.
"200 taels!" At this time, a young man in the front row who was in his early twenties and dressed in Chinese clothes bid a price of 90 taels.
The place fell silent for a moment.
Although the Songfeng Swordsmanship is somewhat famous, it is only worth about 150 taels. Now the price is too expensive, so no one bids anymore.
Han Zhao looked happy, there were so many rich people.
After the transaction was completed, the Chen family disciples behind him brought another tray covered with red cloth.
Chen Yang opened the red cloth and introduced a purple booklet on it, "Everyone, this secret book is called 'Yun Sword Technique'. It is a special sword technique that can be practiced in any realm! No matter how low your qualifications are, you can practice it.
It’s done, and its power is astonishing after it’s practiced! Previously, there was a warrior in the Bone Training Realm who used this sword technique to severely injure a Blood Training Realm master with one sword.”
"What? The Bone Training Realm severely damaged the Blood Training Realm?"
"Just pull it off!"
"There must be some serious restrictions, right?"
As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, a pot exploded below.
If it is so powerful, how could the Chen family put it up for auction?
[A pretty good explosive swordsmanship, although it has great limitations, is nothing to you. It can be used as your trump card to deceive others at critical moments.]
A reliable tip appeared, and Han Zhao also became interested.
Chen Yang stopped being pretentious and added: "This sword technique can cross realms to fight enemies, but naturally there are some limitations. That is, before using the sword, you must use your energy and spirit to 'nurture the sword', 'nurture the sword'
The longer the time, the more energy and blood are consumed, and the stronger the power of 'Drawing the Sword' becomes. If you want to save the unique skill of pressing the bottom of the box, this 'Yun Sword Technique' must not be missed, the starting price is 80 taels!"
Chen Yang actually concealed something. The bone-training realm warrior spent two years 'raising his sword'. He exhausted all his energy and blood with one sword strike and died on the spot. Only then did he severely damage the blood-training realm warrior.
Although the Chen family kept a copy, this kind of sword skill was given away for free and no one was willing to practice it.
"I'll just say it!"
"How can such a good thing happen!"
"As long as there is a chance to break through to the blood training realm, who would waste energy and blood to practice such a thing."
Chen Yang's words extinguished everyone's enthusiasm.
Even a Bone Training Realm warrior who has passed the peak of his energy and blood at the age of twenty-five will never give up if there is a chance to break through to the Blood Training Realm.
Because after passing the peak of Qi and blood, the probability of breakthrough is only reduced, but it does not mean that breakthrough is impossible.
Reaching the blood training realm can increase your life span by 20 years, which is a temptation that no warrior can resist.
If you use Qi and blood to 'raise the sword', you will extinguish the last bit of hope.
Even if they can't break through, a warrior with strong Qi and blood can live for a few more years. Consuming Qi and blood means risking his life to 'keep his sword'.
"Yun Sword Technique?" Han Zhao's eyes flickered slightly. This thing is naturally not attractive to other people, but he has a system. If others need to use Qi and blood to nourish their swords, he can use the Qi from the Health Preservation Technique to do it.
Instead, as long as there is sufficient energy replenishment, Qi and Qi blood can be easily restored.
