Chapter 61 The Crowd is in an Uproar. The Seventh-Level Sword Technique, Broken Cloud Sword Manual
The appearance of the Spirit Tempering Pill caused the atmosphere in the venue to become fiery. Everyone was discussing animatedly, sighing at the auction venue’s extravagance.
“This second item is already a top sixth-level medicinal pill. There should be more items to be auctioned later on. It can’t be a seventh-level item, right?”
“You have to know how long has it been since a seventh-level item has appeared in Qingyang City. The last time it appeared was a few decades ago. It’s said that it caused a sensation.”
“The last one doesn’t count at all. At most, it was a sixth-level item. It’s said that they used a secret technique to forcefully raise the level. The auction house originally wanted to make a fortune, but in the end, the matter was exposed and the seller came looking for them. The seller’s background was very powerful, so the auction house lost a lot of money and even shut down.”!!
Everyone was talking and unintentionally, another strange story was involved.
“This matter was only revealed after a period, so very few people knew about it. That seller was so angry that he swore that he would never set foot in Qingyang City again.”
They did not expect that there would be such a complicated story here. Everyone’s eyes shone with the light of gossip.
“That’s why it’s not so easy to see seventh-level item. Even the four great clans might not have it.”
Although everyone was looking forward to the auction house bringing a seventh-level item, they knew that it was highly unlikely. However, a top sixth-level item was not too bad. At least they would be able to feast their eyes on it.
When Wu Jin heard everyone’s words, he revealed a mysterious smile. “Next up is low seventh-level sword technique, Broken Cloud Sword Manual! The starting price is 30,000 spirit stones!”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone thought that they were hearing things.
“What! There really is a seventh-level item, and it’s a sword technique!”
In the box made of hundred-year-old agarwood, there was a light blue cover. The edges of the cover were already slightly yellowed, silently telling the traces of history. It looked quite ancient.
There was a vague old charm surrounding it, so much so that everyone ignored the sword intent hidden in the dark. The moment they opened it, they could faintly hear a buzzing sound. It was like the sound of a golden spear or the sound of swords clashing. In an instant, everyone seemed to have arrived in a world made of sword qi. The sharp longsword seemed to be able to cut through everything, be it the chasing wind, or the flowing clouds in the sky. It seemed to be able to pierce through everything!
All sorts of strange phenomena appeared at the same time, but in the end, they were all destroyed by this sword shadow. It was as if the clouds in the sky had disappeared, and everyone was unable to regain their senses for a long time.
Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou looked at each other. Their expressions were filled with surprise and astonishment. This was clearly…
They did not expect Lin Mo to auction off such an important martial art! Was he crazy?
After all, a seventh-level sword manual was something that could only be found by chance, not by money. Even if one had money, they would not be able to buy it. Even the incomplete sword manual had great lethality.
Moreover, the incomplete sword manual already had the strength of a seventh-level low grade sword manual. If it was a complete manual, it might even be able to reach the eighth-level.
In addition to the Huang clan who was not proficient in sword techniques as well as Huang Qing who did not have much of a clue, he would not be willing to part with the Broken Cloud Sword Manual.
“Could it be that Lin Mo wanted to exchange with us for the sake of using it for the auction to raise the popularity of the auction house? Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case.”
Currently, the popularity of the auction house could be said to be the highest in the entire Qingyang City. Whether it was in terms of popularity or flow of people, it was simply incomparable to other auction houses.
Lin Mo did not need to spend such a huge price to raise the auction house’s popularity at all. If one were to say that he was greedy for money, it would not be too likely. He could earn more when he ran out of spirit stones. However, there were not many seventh-level cultivation techniques. The two sisters could not figure it out no matter how much they thought about it.
Huang Zhiyun was shocked. An impossible thought appeared in her mind. “Could it be that he has finished cultivating, so he took it out for auction?”
Huang Zhirou was surprised. “No way. It’s only been a few days. Is his cultivation speed so fast? Even if he’s powerful, it’s impossible for him to learn all four moves. At most, he can only learn one or two.”
Even so, the sisters were shocked beyond words. Excluding all their prior thoughts, only this one seemed to make sense.
Although Huang Zhiyun and the others felt that auctioning the “Broken Cloud Sword Manual” was a little inappropriate, their personalities were similar to Huang Qing’s. They were not reckless people. Since they had already made a deal with Lin Mo, it was naturally up to him to decide how to deal with the item.
They were only surprised that Lin Mo had learned so quickly. Could it be that he had finished learning the incomplete manual of the first four moves? Or, could it be that he had simply copied it and used it for his own learning, while the original version was being auctioned off?
“Lin Mo doesn’t look like he’s short of money. Previously, he auctioned off so many things, and it gave people the feeling that he was going to run away. Or perhaps there was an emergency at home?”
…
The two sisters kept guessing, but they still could not figure out the reason behind Lin Mo’s actions.
The price of the sword manual was extremely high. However, they already had a copy of it, so there was no need for them to bid for it. Furthermore, if the Swimming Dragon Steps were to be auctioned off at the same price, it might even be slightly higher.
Although it was a movement technique, it was a complete version. Therefore, the two sisters did not hold any grudges against Lin Mo.
This was because it was not easy to learn the “Broken Cloud Sword Manual”. Even though Huang Qing had studied quite a few incomplete versions and restored the original, he was helpless against this sword manual.
He was unable to restore the complete version of the sword manual and he was barely able to cultivate to the second move. As he was unable to make any progress further, he had no choice but to give up and leave it in the clan’s treasure chest.
On the other hand, Huang Zhiyun and Huang Zhirou were cultivating other array of formations and martial arts. There was no need to waste too much energy and time on the incomplete manual, so they were not interested in the sword manual.
