Chapter 275 Clear Frost Sword
I didn't expect that there was a Beggar Gang in the Great Qi Dynasty. As he was speaking, a group of people walked in. They were the Evil Gang.
The guy introduced:
"This is the leader of the Evil Gang. They are going to auction a peerless martial arts manual today.
That's why I came here with a group of men, determined to get him!"
Mrs. Bai asked, "What are we auctioning today?"
The clerk cleared his throat and continued, "Speaking of today's auction, it was truly spectacular. It was filled with treasures coveted by everyone in the world."
"First of all, there's the martial arts manual that brought out the villain gang, the Phantom Step.
This secret book originated from a mysterious martial arts master a hundred years ago.
It is said that after this person mastered this skill, his figure became as elusive as a ghost, and he could take the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops as easily as taking something from a bag.
There was a great battle once, where he used the Phantom Step to disrupt the enemy camp by himself, and the enemy masters could not even touch the corner of his clothes.
Later, the master retired and the secret manual was lost, until it reappeared recently."
"There is also a precious sword called the Qingshuang Sword. This sword has an extraordinary origin and is the masterpiece of the swordsmith master Ou Yezi in his later years.
When the sword was completed, the sky was filled with clouds and mist, and a ray of green frost fell from the sky and merged into the sword, hence the name.
This sword is so sharp that it can cut through iron like mud. In a martial arts dispute, it once cut off several ordinary weapons with one sword, making the hero who held it famous.
It passed through several generations before it fell into the hands of this seller.”
"Then there are the blood-clotting jade beads. These jade beads may look ordinary, but they actually contain magical effects.
It can quickly stop bleeding and heal wounds, and accelerate the recovery of internal strength.
According to legend, a seriously injured hero took this jade bead on his deathbed and miraculously recovered. Not only were his injuries healed, but his internal strength also improved slightly.
Since then, the Blood Clotting Jade Beads have become a coveted healing item for people in the martial arts world."
"In addition, there is a piece of gold-thread soft armor. It is woven from special gold threads imported from the Western Regions. It is soft and comfortable to wear, yet can resist sword piercings.
There was once a knight wearing this armor, facing the siege of bandits. The bandits' swords broke when they hit the soft armor, but the knight remained unharmed.
He successfully broke through the siege with his superior martial arts skills, and his soft armor became famous.
Lin Wanwan's eyes lit up. She also wanted to see these treasures, which were rarely seen in other places.
This Longhu Gang is indeed different. Madam Bai muttered to herself, "Blood-clotting jade beads?"
"Yes...but the price is very high. I'm afraid only a few powerful sects can get it." The guy muttered softly.
The first thing that caught Lin Wanwan's eye was a group of women in red. They had graceful figures and light steps. The woman in the lead had a stern face and an innate heroic look in her eyes.
Each of them held a sword in her hand, the scabbard wrapped in white satin and inlaid with various gems, sparkling charmingly in the candlelight.
The guy hurriedly introduced:
"This is the Red Flame Sect, all of whom are women, and all of them are highly skilled in martial arts.
They are good at defeating the enemy with quick swords, and their attacks are swift and fierce, like a red flame blazing across the prairie, making it impossible to defend against them.
These red clothes are their symbol, and they are well-known in the martial arts world."
Immediately afterwards, a group of nuns filed in. They were dressed in plain robes, holding Zen sticks and walking with steady steps.
The old nun in the lead had a kind face. Her robe, though plain, was spotless, and she exuded an otherworldly aura.
"These are the nuns from Jingci Temple," the waiter whispered.
“Don’t underestimate them because they are devoted to Buddhism and compassionate. However, if someone offends them, the martial arts in the nunnery will definitely not be taken lightly.
Their martial arts are mainly based on defense and resolving conflicts, emphasizing the use of softness to overcome hardness. They have resolved many disputes in the martial arts world and are highly respected in the martial arts world."
The man pointed at them and said:
"This is a high-ranking monk from Shaolin. Shaolin is the leader of the martial arts world, with extensive and profound martial arts and 72 unique skills that are world-famous.
They must have come here this time with the intention of obtaining a certain treasure."
Afterwards, all kinds of underworld figures continued to pour in.
There are lone rangers dressed in strange clothes and carrying all kinds of strange weapons.
There is a mysterious assassin wearing black clothes and a mask.
There are also wanderers in the martial arts world who wear coarse linen clothes and look ordinary but have hidden secrets.
Soon, the place was full of distinguished guests. Under the audience's heated gaze, the auctioneer in a golden brocade robe raised his hand and signaled, and two sturdy men steadily lifted up a specially made long wooden box.
The auctioneer stepped forward personally and opened the lid of the box with both hands. In an instant, a cold and dazzling light burst out from the box, causing everyone present to gasp.
"Today's first blockbuster item - the Qingshuang Sword, has appeared!" The auctioneer's voice was passionate and echoed in every corner of the auction hall.
"This sword is called Qingshuang, and it was the painstaking work of a famous swordsmith from the Warring States Period.
Legend has it that when the sword was forged, it was winter, with frost and snow all over the sky. The swordsmith used his own blood and essence as a guide, and merged it into the cold iron to create this sword.
As soon as this sword came out, it shocked the martial arts world. It has accompanied many heroines to travel around the world and made great military achievements.
It's so sharp it can easily cut through fine steel, and the blade will never wear out." The auctioneer vividly recounted the legendary origins of the Qingshuang Sword, and the audience listened with fascination.
"This rare treasure has a starting price of six thousand taels of silver today, and each bid increase must not be less than five hundred taels! Now, the bidding begins!" As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the sound of bidding rang out one after another.
"I'll offer 7000 taels!" A burly man shouted first.
He came from a small gang that was unknown but powerful enough to be reckoned with. His face was flushed at the moment and his eyes showed a determination to win.
Almost at the same moment, the red-dressed women of the Scarlet Flame Alliance were not to be outdone. The woman in the lead raised her eyebrows and opened her red lips slightly, "I'll offer 7500 taels!"
The representative of the Beggars' Sect stood up slowly.
He was wearing patched clothes, but the confidence in his gestures made people dare not underestimate him: "8000 taels."
The price soared all the way, and the value of the Qingshuang Sword was raised to 2 taels in a blink of an eye.
"Two! My daughter just needs a good weapon, so don't argue with me." The leader of the Evil Gang's voice was like a bell, and the entire auction hall was shocked.
Just as the auctioneer's gavel was about to fall, finalizing the deal, a bell suddenly rang from upstairs. Master Bai said calmly, "Two."
"Two!" The leader of the Evil Gang roared through gritted teeth, veins bulging on his neck. It was obvious that he was extremely angry about Master Bai's disruption.
Master Bai remained calm and composed, his lips curled up slightly as he uttered four words: "Two."
The eyes of the evil gang members were wide open at this moment, but after weighing the pros and cons, they finally did not make another bid.
"Two, once!" The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement.
"Two, twice!" The whole audience was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final result.
"Two, three times! Deal!" The auctioneer's gavel fell heavily.
