Zhang Ruochen walked straight towards the Central Auction House as he entered the Wushi Market.
Spiritual-level inferior-grade martial arts skills are not something that ordinary shops can handle. Only by taking them to the Central Auction House and auctioning them to powerful families can their value be maximized.
As soon as Zhang Ruochen entered the auction house, a pretty maid in neat clothes came to greet him. She showed no surprise at Zhang Ruochen's mysterious appearance and greeted him politely, "Sir, do you need any help?"
"I want to see your chief manager of the Central Auction House!" Zhang Ruochen slightly changed his voice to make it sound deep and mellow, resembling that of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
Who on earth is this man? He just wants to see the chief manager at the first mention. It seems that he has a big background.
"The maid will go and inform the chief manager now. But the chief manager is usually very busy and may not have the time to meet you. Please wait a moment!"
After saying this, the maid immediately walked through a door and went to inform the chief manager.
Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry and just stood in the hall and waited quietly.
Not long after, the maid led a slightly fat old man wearing luxurious clothes and came out, pointing in Zhang Ruochen's direction and saying, "Chief Manager, it's him."
The chief manager took a look at Zhang Ruochen wearing the black cloak from a distance and fixed his eyes on Zhang Ruochen's feet. His old eyes narrowed slightly, and a glimmer of sharpness flashed.
The boots on Zhang Ruochen's feet were called "Qilin Inlaid Golden Boots", and only people in the palace were eligible to wear such boots.
Zhang Ruochen naturally showed his boots on purpose. After all, the martial arts skill he wanted to auction was a spiritual-level inferior-grade sword technique, and it was inevitable that someone would covet it. With his current martial arts cultivation, he couldn't protect the spiritual-level inferior-grade sword technique at all.
But if people knew that he was an important figure in the palace, then few people would dare to have any ideas about him.
In the current situation where his strength was not strong enough, he could only pretend to be very powerful to frighten others, which was still very necessary.
"What a big background! "
The chief manager thought as he looked at Zhang Ruochen's boots.
The chief manager's attitude towards Zhang Ruochen immediately became respectful, and he regarded Zhang Ruochen as an important figure in the palace. He walked up to Zhang Ruochen and said in a low voice, "Sir, please come with me!"
"Okay!"
Zhang Ruochen leaned on his hands behind his back and showed great dignity. He nodded slightly.
The martial artists in the hall saw the chief manager's attitude and couldn't help but guess in their hearts that a remarkable figure had come to the Central Auction House.
When they reached the third floor of the Central Auction House, Zhang Ruochen sat steadily at the top. He took the teacup handed by the maid and said in a superior tone, "I have a treasure here that I want to entrust to the Central Auction House for auction. Please call your top appraiser to help me appraise it."
The chief manager saw Zhang Ruochen's dignity and was more convinced that the other person was an important figure in the palace. He immediately ordered someone to invite the appraiser.
A moment later, an old man with gray hair came in.
The old man looked about seventy or eighty years old, but his eyes were bright and sharp. He took a look at Zhang Ruochen and found that he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
The old man immediately bowed respectfully to Zhang Ruochen and said, "I am the chief appraiser of the Central Auction House. I don't know where the thing that the young master wants to auction is?"
There were only three situations where he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation: first, the other person's martial arts cultivation was higher than his.
Second, the other person's cultivation method was much more advanced than his.
For example, martial artists who practiced human-level cultivation methods generally couldn't see through the cultivation of those who practiced spiritual-level cultivation methods. They could only roughly guess the other person's cultivation level based on some details and the aura displayed by the other person.
Of course, if the levels of the cultivation methods were similar, people with higher cultivation levels could still see through the cultivation levels of those with lower cultivation levels.
The third situation was that the other person had treasures that could hide his cultivation level.
The second and third situations were not common, so the old man instinctively thought it was the first situation and that Zhang Ruochen's cultivation level was higher than his. Therefore, he immediately bowed to Zhang Ruochen respectfully.
It should be noted that Zhang Ruochen practiced "The Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", which was a profound cultivation method. Unless he deliberately showed his meridians, it was estimated that few people in Yunwu County could see through his martial arts cultivation.
In addition, Zhang Ruochen used to be a great master in the Heavenly Extreme Realm. Although he was reborn in an ordinary person's body, the understanding of martial arts and the spiritual energy carried by his soul were no different from those of the great masters in the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
It was almost impossible for others to see through his cultivation level unless their martial arts realm reached the level of the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Extreme Realm.
Zhang Ruochen put his hand into his sleeve and touched the Space Spirit Crystal. His palm directly entered the inner space of the Space Spirit Crystal and took out the incantation of "Tianxin Saber Technique" and handed it to the gray-haired old man.
"What I want to auction is this volume of spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique!" Zhang Ruochen said lightly.
As soon as the chief appraiser took the incantation of "Tianxin Saber Technique", he was shocked when he heard Zhang Ruochen's words. He actually wanted to auction a spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique!
The chief appraiser immediately unfolded the rolled-up paper and carefully studied it.
The manager also immediately went over and read the incantation of "Tianxin Saber Technique" together with him.
Both the chief appraiser and the manager were martial artists and quickly identified the result. They nodded at the same time.
"It is indeed the incantation of a spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique. I don't know how many saber techniques the young master has in his hand?" The manager asked.
The incantation and the saber techniques had to be combined to exert the true power of the spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique.
Even if the manager and the chief appraiser forcibly remembered the incantation of "Tianxin Saber Technique", if they didn't have the corresponding saber techniques to match, the incantation they remembered would be of no use.
Zhang Ruochen said, "The entire saber technique has twelve moves. The original version of the saber technique has been lost. The 'Tianxin Saber Technique' in my hand was drawn by a Heavenly Extreme Realm expert with his own hands. It is no different from the original version of the saber technique."
The chief appraiser thought for a moment and said, "Since this is the case, the starting price of 'Tianxin Saber Technique' will be set at two hundred thousand silver coins. But there is a prerequisite that after the auction is successful, the buyer must review the saber techniques and incantations of 'Tianxin Saber Technique'. If it is found that the saber technique is not a spiritual-level inferior-grade saber technique, the auction result will not count."
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said, "Everything will follow the rules of the auction house!"
The auction of "Tianxin Saber Technique" was scheduled for tonight and became the highlight of the mid-grade auction house.
Before the auction began, the Central Auction House immediately sent the news to all the big families in the city.
The important figures of all the big families rushed to the Wushi Market with huge sums of money, all wanting to buy the complete set of spiritual-level inferior-grade saber techniques.
Zhang Ruochen didn't care about the auction process. He only cared about the result of the auction.
After about two hours, the auction ended, and the result of the auction came out.
Among the competition of all the big families, the price of "Tianxin Saber Technique" was raised to one million two hundred and forty thousand silver coins and was finally bought by the head of the Lin family.
"It's actually the Lin family!" Zhang Ruochen was slightly surprised when he heard the result.
Not long after, under the leadership of the manager, Lin Jafeng, a relative of the Lin family, and Lin Ningshan, one of the four most beautiful women in Yunwu County, came in.
"Master Lin, this young master is the owner of 'Tianxin Saber Technique'." The manager's face was smiling as he pointed at Zhang Ruochen sitting at the top.
Lin Jafeng's eyes stayed on Zhang Ruochen's "Qilin Inlaid Golden Boots" for a moment, nodded slightly, and bowed slightly, saying, "I am Lin Jafeng, the head of the Lin family. May I ask your name, young master?"
Before coming in, Lin Jafeng had heard from the manager about this mysterious person and knew that he might be an important figure in the palace.
Therefore, after Lin Jafeng came in, he took the initiative to lower his status as the head of the Lin family.
When he saw Lin Jafeng and Lin Ningshan, Zhang Ruochen became more careful to prevent them from recognizing him.
Zhang Ruochen coughed twice and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to know my name. This is the incantation and saber technique drawings of 'Tianxin Saber Technique'. Master Lin can take a look at it!"
As he spoke, Zhang Ruochen took out the incantation and saber technique drawings from his sleeve and put them on the table.
Lin Jafeng didn't check the incantation of "Tianxin Saber Technique". He believed that the Central Auction House had already appraised the incantation before the auction.
He unfolded the saber technique drawings of "Tianxin Saber Technique" and saw that there were twelve small pictures of people on the paper.
If an ordinary person looked at the twelve pictures, he couldn't see anything special. But when Lin Jafeng's eyes fell on the paper, the twelve little people holding long swords seemed to come to life and were dancing with their swords.
Each saber technique was exquisite and profound, containing profound martial arts insights. Even if you only learned one move, it would be of great benefit.
"This set of saber techniques is definitely at the top level among the spiritual-level inferior-grade martial arts skills. It's really worth buying!" Lin Jafeng was extremely excited in his heart.
