Urban Fairy King

"Master, I am willing to go to Jinling to take charge!" Qianhe Huanzi stood up.

The other three women also stared at Baili Yunxiao.

Baili Yunxiao shook his head: "You four just stay at home and help me keep an eye on the auction house. I will go to Jinling in person!"

"yes!"

The four women responded at the same time.

Qiao Fengling glanced at the four girls and felt envious in her heart. She had known Xu Xiangwu and Ye Qingluan for a long time, but at that time, the two girls were just ordinary rich girls. But they hadn't seen each other for a few months, but they all seemed like immortals. Their otherworldly temperament was beyond what she, Qiao Fengling, could compare to.

She said: "What about me?"

"You guys from the Secret Service don't need to come forward. Just find one or two to show off. If you are too alert, you will alert the enemy!"

"Then we can't do nothing, right?" Qiao Fengling said with some dissatisfaction.

"You can really rest if we take action. If we can't handle it, even if you intervene, it will only increase casualties!"

Qiao Fengling was silent, she knew Baili Yunxiao was telling the truth.

The next morning, Baili Yunxiao boarded the express train to Jinling alone. Within an hour or two, he arrived at Jinling City.

Jinling is the capital of one of the three provinces of Dongzhou, with a population of nearly ten million. It was the ancient capital of six dynasties and was extremely prosperous.

The Institute of Archaeology is located in the central city.

After Baili Yunxiao arrived here, he did not go in immediately, but settled in a nearby hotel.

He guessed that the sword-stealing gang would most likely come to steal the ancient sword. However, nothing would happen at the auction house because it was the headquarters of the Lingxiao Group. Unless the other party was sure of dealing with him, Otherwise, they will never take it by force easily. Instead, they will participate in the auction and purchase the ancient sword through normal means.

That night, Baili Yunxiao meditated in the hotel and released his spiritual power, covering an area of ​​a thousand meters.

With thirty-five spiritual energy in his body, his spiritual power can extend up to 3,500 meters, which is seven miles. However, there is no need to extend that far at this time. One thousand meters is enough to cover the entire archaeological institute.

In fact, he doesn't even need to be so vigilant, because the ancient sword unearthed in the Archaeological Research Institute was originally a magic weapon he refined, and it has the imprint of his soul in it. No matter where it appears, it will be everywhere in the sky. All can be traced.

However, after a night passed, there was no movement at the Archaeological Research Institute, and the ancient sword was still lying quietly in the vault.

"Strange, don't those people plan to steal the ancient sword?" Baili Yunxiao wondered.

On this day, the Lingxiao Auction House in Dongzhou City was bustling with activity, with wealthy businessmen gathering here.

Because the items being auctioned this time were not only the ancient sword, but also many antiques brought by Baili Yunxiao from Void Temple and Baicao Valley.

Of course, it is impossible to bring so many items to the market at once, but to auction them in batches, so as to maximize profits.

Yu Chenyan, who has become the general manager of Lingxiao Auction House, went to the battle in person today to act as an auctioneer and conduct auctions of major antiques.

Among them are more than ten items including ancient coins, ancient porcelain, ancient jade, as well as calligraphy and paintings by famous people.

The so-called Golden Age Antiques. After so many years of peaceful development in Daxia, Daxia has also created a large number of wealthy people. Among them, there are many wealthy families who want to establish relations with the Lingxiao Group and flatter themselves. Therefore, these dozen items The things were eventually auctioned off at high prices, with nearly 300 million raised.

When the last item was taken out by Yu Chenyan, nearly a hundred people participating in the auction immediately fell silent.

This is an ancient bronze sword. The hilt is a black dragon head. The hilt and blade are three feet three feet long, which is equivalent to one meter!

Yu Chenyan, who was wearing an elegant green smoke dress, said: "This sword has been determined by experts and has a history of more than three thousand years. It is a product of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. After passing the test, it can still withstand a thousand kilograms of pressure. It does not break, and its sharpness is something that even modern people cannot create through technology. It can break hair when blown, and cut iron like clay. If you don’t believe it, please take a look!"

At this time, two burly and powerful men in black walked up from the background. One of them held the hilt of the ancient sword in his hand, and the other held a few thumb-thick steel bars in his hand.

"Others use a sword to cut steel bars and need to place it on the ground. But with this sword, you only need to hold the steel bars in the air!"

While Yu Chenyan was talking, the man holding the steel bar stood up, exposing half of its length above his head.

The figure of the man holding the sword suddenly turned in a circle, and the long sword rotated with it, pulling out a strip of leather and slashing through the steel bar above the head of the person on the opposite side.

bass!

A crisp sound came out, and the steel bar had broken into two pieces. It seemed that neither of them had used much force.

"What a sword!"

Everyone exclaimed.

Yu Chenyan continued: "Now, let me ask everyone to guess how heavy this sword will be?"

"It still weighs six or seven pounds, right?"

"Yes, this sword is about one meter long, which is much longer than ordinary ancient swords. It can even weigh ten kilograms!"

Everyone spoke one after another.

Yu Chenyan smiled and said: "Bring me the electronic scale!"

A maid brought up the electronic scale, and the man with the sword placed the long sword on the electronic scale.

When the weight on the electronic scale was displayed on the rear screen, everyone was stunned.

Because the electronic scale shows only four hundred grams, which is eight taels.

"This? How is it possible?" Everyone stood up at the same time, shocked.

However, several men in rich clothes in the back row narrowed their eyes, smiled at the corners of their mouths, looked at each other, and nodded.

"Manager Yu, is your electronic scale wrong?"

"Yes, how could this sword only weigh four hundred grams?"

"Isn't that sword made of aluminum? But aluminum can't be so light, let alone cut off steel bars!"

Yu Chenyan raised his hand, signaled everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile: "To be honest, even we ourselves can't figure out the weight of this sword. It seems to be changing all the time. When we first got it, it It weighs a hundred kilograms, but after just a few days, it only weighs eight taels. Of course, when it was at its lightest, it only weighed less than two taels!"

"What?" Everyone stared at Yu Chenyan and Gu Jian as if they were seeing ghosts.

Everyone's expressions became solemn.

"Manager Yu, do you take what you say seriously?" someone asked.

"Our auction house will never cheat!" Yu Chenyan said.

No one refuted again. Who doesn't know about Lingxiao Group? And the martial arts myth Baili Yunxiao behind the Lingxiao Group?

"Manager Yu, is this sword the flying sword of the Crown Prince of Lingxiao Group?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

The prince he spoke of naturally meant Baili Yunxiao.

"Haha... This sword is just an ancient sword that one of our clients wants to auction through our auction house. Although it is precious, it does not belong to my boss!"

"I see!"

"Manager Yu, hurry up and tell me the lowest price!" someone said urgently.

"The base price is 100 million, and the amount of each additional bid must not be less than 1 million!" Yu Chenyan said.

After everyone heard this, they were not too surprised, but nodded in approval.

In everyone's opinion, this sword is indeed worth the price. It is a national treasure. If you don't have money, don't even think about it.

"I'll offer you 100 million!" A fat middle-aged man tentatively offered a reserve price.

"One hundred and ten million!" someone said.

"One hundred and twenty million!"

"One hundred and thirty million!"

…

The price soon rose to 200 million!

Although Yu Chenyan said that the additional amount should not be less than 1 million, everyone increased the amount by 10 million.

But 200 million is not the end. The soy sauce investors have basically withdrawn one after another, and the only ones left are the real buyers.

"I offer 250 million!" A long-haired woman wearing white business attire and high heels said, holding up a sign.

Next to the woman, there is an old man with a white beard wearing a golden Tang suit. He has a piercing gaze, and he looks like a practicing practitioner at first glance.

"Three hundred million!"

In the last row, a young man in a suit held up a sign and said.

Several people who wanted to bid immediately frowned when they heard this. They actually added 50 million in one go? It seems inevitable.

However, how can we give up such a treasure so easily?

The rich people who can participate in this auction are worth at least one billion or more, and there are a few worth more than ten billion. Of course, it is unknown how many invisible rich people there are among them.

"Three hundred and thirty million!" The woman in white raised her sign again and said.

"I'll pay 500 million!"

After everyone listened, they all looked around and saw a young man in a suit. He was in his thirties and had short hair, giving people a clean, neat and relaxed look.

After hearing this, the woman in white clothes who participated in the bidding frowned, and the old man in Tang suit was also a little surprised.

"It seems that I have met a rich man, and it suddenly exceeded 170 million. He is rich!" someone exclaimed.

Yu Chenyan showed joy and said: "This gentleman has already paid 500 million. Is there any higher? Is there any? This is a rare sword in the Great Xia Kingdom for thousands of years, although I don't know who it is. It is not forged, but there are rumors that it should be the flying sword used by the ancient sword immortal!"

"What? Is it really a flying sword?" Everyone exclaimed.

"I'll pay 600 million!" a short woman said.

However, everyone heard that the woman's pronunciation seemed to be inaccurate and a bit jerky, and she did not seem to be from Daxia.

Next to the woman, there was a man over fifty years old sitting. The man's temples were bulging so high that he looked like a master of the family.

"Seven billion!"

"Eight hundred million!"

"One billion!" The short woman once again added two hundred million directly.

This time, the others were calmed down.

Yu Chenyan was also shocked by the prices offered by several people. Originally, she thought that this sword could be auctioned for three to five billion, which would be considered very good, but now she realized that she still underestimated the ancient sword's value in these The status in the eyes of wealthy nobles.

In addition, she could also see that among the people participating in the auction, there were many large foreign consortiums, and they must have come prepared.

"So, this sword may be auctioned for a higher price!" When Yu Chenyan thought about the origin of this sword, he had to admire Baili Yunxiao.
