Chapter 96: The Good Show Begins!

  "This price is already close to the highest price of a six-product soul technique." Yisi Qing said in a low voice.

  Upon hearing this, Yi Chen nodded and soon the ownership of the sixth-grade soul skill would be settled.

  Faced with such a price, the person in power hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to quote a price, but seemed to think of something and swallowed back what he had originally wanted to say.

  "Six million six hundred thousand gold coins." Gu Ho also hesitated for a moment, but he didn't choose to give up like the ruler. Instead, he gritted his teeth and bid forty million gold coins.

  "Is the old man crazy?" Jia Ding furrowed his brow, this price had already exceeded his budget. After a moment of contemplation, he said in a deep voice: "Six hundred and eighty million."

  "Seven million." Gu Huo hesitated for a moment, this price was the income of the Gu family for two years, but after some thought, he gritted his teeth and said.

  "Seven hundred thousand, the old master is really rich and rough. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not take away what others love, so Jia had to make the best of it." Jia Ding finally gave up and said something to save face.

  "Hmph." Gu Huo let out a cold snort, thinking to himself that Jia Ding's words sounded good on the surface, but a true gentleman wouldn't take away something someone else loved; whoever got what they wanted in this situation was definitely a petty person.

  "Seven million for the first time."

  "Seven hundred million second time."

  "Seven million, for the third time." As a member of the Jia family, Jia Meng naturally did not want the Tianyan Saint Seal to fall into the hands of the Gu family, but according to the auction house's rules, he reluctantly shouted three times.

  "Congratulations to Mr. Gu for getting the sixth-grade lower soul technique, Tianyan Holy Seal Art, at a price of 7 million. After three rounds with no one increasing the price, Jia Meng struck the final blow."

  "Seven million!" The crowd was stunned by this price and couldn't utter a word, it was an astronomical figure for them.

  "Congratulations to Master Gu for obtaining a sixth-grade lower soul skill!" Many bootlickers in the hall stood up and paid their respects to Gu Huo.

  Gu Huo's face was also full of smiles, with the six-grade soul technique, the Gu family no longer needed to be wary of the Yi family in terms of martial power.

  "Let's see how you'll be smiling later." Seeing Gu Hong's complacent look, Yi Chen smiled indifferently.

  All items have been sold by auction, and many bidders have left the scene. Jia Meng is also preparing to pack up his things and leave.

  At this time, a guard walked onto the stage and came to Jia Meng's side, whispering a few words in his ear. After hearing what he said, Jia Meng's eyes lit up.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, we have just added a new item to the auction, I'm sure you will all be very interested."

  Jia Meng's face revealed a mysterious smile as he loudly proclaimed.

  "Hmm, added one more temporarily?" Those cultivators who were about to leave stopped in their tracks upon hearing Jia Meng's words. Such a thing had happened before.

  Gu Huo and others were just about to leave, but after hearing Jia Meng's words, they stopped in their tracks, looking at him with puzzled expressions.

  "It's started, it's started." Jia Xin rubbed his hands together and said this with great anticipation, while Yi Chen and the others also smiled slightly.

  "Lord Jia, what is this sudden addition?" Those cultivators who were about to leave returned to their seats and shouted loudly.

  "Don't worry, I won't disappoint everyone." Jia Meng smiled mysteriously and then waved his hand towards the audience below.

  After a moment, two men carrying a wooden tray walked up and placed it on the frame, covered with a red cloth.

  "What is that thing? It looks like a weapon!" Seeing the object, many voices of discussion rose in the hall.

  "You've all guessed correctly, this is a weapon, and it's one that everyone is very familiar with." Jia Meng smiled as he explained.

  "What is this familiar weapon?" Everyone's curiosity was thoroughly mobilized, and they asked in unison.

  "This temporarily added weapon is one of the two famous guns of our Yuan Xuan Empire." Jia Meng said, casting a sideways glance at Gu Ho.

  "How is that possible? One of the two famous guns, the Silver Flame Long Gun, is an heirloom of the Gu family, while the other one is the Star Dragon Long Gun, but that one is in the hands of the imperial ruler."

  "That's right, it's a divine weapon that only the ancient family and those in power wear, how can it possibly appear here?" Many doubting voices rose.

  "Absurd! The silver flame spear of my Gu clan has always been here, while the star dragon spear has always been in the hands of those in power." A cold shout came out of Gu Huo's mouth.

  When these words came out, Gu Lin, who was standing behind him with a blue nose and a swollen face, looked very ugly, and he had a very bad premonition in his heart.

  "The Jia family auction house fabricated such a ridiculous and absurd thing, aren't they afraid of being laughed at by the public?" The person in power also looked very displeased.

  "What's the reputation of Jia's auction house, I believe everyone present knows that we have never done anything that harms others without benefiting ourselves." Jia Ding somehow appeared on the auction stage.

  "The play has begun." Yi Chen's mouth curled up, and he looked towards the Gu family. In an instant, he discovered that Gu Lin's face had turned pale, and he secretly laughed to himself.

  "Oh, then please tell me, Mr. Jia, which of the two famous guns is it?" Gu Ho asked with a smile.

  "Master Jia, please take a look." Mr. Jia's smile did not diminish as he directly lifted the red cloth on top, and instantly, a silver long spear was exposed in the air.

  "It's really Silver Flash Gun."

  "It's strange, how did the ancient family heirloom end up in the hands of the Jia family?" Everyone's gaze gathered on the long gun, and when they took a closer look at its appearance, their faces revealed a shocked expression.

  "Hmph, it's just a counterfeit, although the craftsmanship is excellent, but my Gu family's long gun has never been lost. I don't know what kind of intention Mr. Jia has in making a counterfeit, could it be to deceive everyone?"

  Guhuo was thoroughly shocked at first, because that long gun was too similar. However, when he came back to his senses, he coldly laughed and said.

  "It's true, even the holder said it was a counterfeit, so it must be fake. It seems that Jia's family really has ulterior motives." Many people started pointing and whispering to each other.

  "The former master of the house said that this silver flame spear is a counterfeit, do you have any evidence?" Yi Chen slowly raised his hands and chimed in.

  "Hmph, this is the best evidence. Lin'er, bring our ancestral Silver Flame Spear." Gu Huo's face was filled with confidence as he turned to look at Gu Lin.

  At this moment, Gu Lin's face turned even paler, and he stood there in a daze, unsure of what to do for a while.

  "This time I see you still have the face to meet people." He had long expected such a situation, and Yi Chen didn't even raise a hint of a smile.

  "What's wrong, Lin'er? Quickly bring out the Silver Flame Spear that has been passed down through our ancestors." Seeing Gu Lin like this, Gu Huo had a very bad premonition and urged him.

  "Brother, stop messing around and quickly take out the Silver Flame Spear." Gu Yun's expression towards Gu Lin was not as cold as before, obviously showing more affection for her own brother.
