In this case, Xiao Chen had no hesitation. When the auctioneer announced that the bidding had begun, he immediately quoted his price, which was still 10 million taels of gold.
The chaos that Xiao Chen originally imagined did not appear. The people below were still numb to Xiao Chen's bid. The only people who felt anxious were those who bid.
Their current mood can be said to be mixed with joy and sorrow. They are both afraid that Xiao Chen is just a hot-mouthed person, and they also imagine that with Linlang Pavilion's reputation, it is impossible for them to do anything breach of trust.
After the auction ended, someone immediately brought the three items that Xiao Chen auctioned to Xiao Chen's room and inspected them carefully. The inner elixir of colorful flames, the low-grade spiritual stone, and the high-grade cold iron are all confirmed to be correct without any quality issues.
Xiao Chen did not go out immediately. He handed the cold iron in his hand to Aojiao and said, "Can I refine it here? I feel like there are two people outside, staring at me."
Ao Jiao said calmly: "The perception is pretty good. There are indeed two flies hiding outside. There are no special requirements for the location to refine this high-grade cold iron."
The piece of cold iron was about the size of a school bag. When Xiao Chen held it in his hand, it felt like it weighed at least two hundred kilograms. Its dark appearance made it look particularly thick.
Ao Jiao easily took the Han Tie in her hand, weighed it a few times, and then threw the Han Tie into the air. A white flame shot out from her palm and enveloped the cold iron in the air.
Xiao Chen carefully observed every move of Ao Jiao, keeping every step of hers in mind. The art of refining high-grade cold iron is an extremely rare secret art on the mainland, and has always been in the hands of a few people.
The only one in the Great Qin Empire, Tiangong Villa, had such technology, so this was a good learning opportunity.
The white flame was burning slowly, and Xiao Chen found that the flame was extremely strange. It didn't have the ferocity and dominance of ordinary flames, but instead made people feel a little warm.
What kind of flame is this? Xiao Chen thought doubtfully.
Ao Jiao deliberately taught Xiao Chen, using her skills to maintain the flame, while explaining: "This flame is not a flame made by the warrior himself, but a human fire that has long existed in heaven and earth, called ghost bone fire."
"Back then, Thunder Emperor Sangmu subdued the flame while he was practicing in the Nine Nether Purgatory. After his death, this flame was handed over to me."
Human fire? It's really eye-opening that there is such a strange flame between heaven and earth, but I don't know what the beauty of this human fire is.
Aojiao then explained that there are four very cherished flames in the world, namely human fire, dragon fire, ghost fire, and heavenly fire.
On the Tianwu Continent, there are nine huge dragon veins on the territory of millions of miles. At the ends of these dragon veins, there is the fire of the imperial way.
Five of the nine dragon fires known on the mainland have been taken away, and the remaining four have never been found. In addition to the reason why the dragon fire is buried thousands of meters underground and the environment is extremely harsh, the more important thing is that the remaining four dragon veins will change.
According to legend, the owner of dragon fire can create a great dynasty. It is impossible for people who are not of the ninth-five-year-old destiny to find dragon fire.
Will-o'-the-wisps exist in the most gloomy places in the world. They are mysterious and have the power of gods and ghosts. There are two extremely yin places on the mainland, namely the Xuanyin Cave, which is tens of thousands of meters deep, and the Nine Nether Purgatory, which is known as the hell on earth.
These two places are forbidden areas on the mainland, but the will-o'-the-wisps that exist in them were taken away by senior masters thousands of years ago. It's just that in recent years, will-o'-the-wisps have rarely appeared in the human world. Whether new will-o'-the-wisps have been born in the two extremely gloomy places is unknown to outsiders.
Sky Fire, recognized as the most terrifying flame in the world, is said to be a flame that can refine the entire world. This kind of flame has only been recorded in history books, and was owned by Emperor Tianwu, who founded the Tianwu Dynasty to unify the continent ten thousand years ago.
With the fall of the Tianwu Dynasty, this kind of flame that destroyed the world has long disappeared in the long river of history.
As for the last human fire, it is special. It is not a natural fire. It should be said that it is not formed by pure natural force. It is a special flame formed by the power of the Martial God, the most powerful warrior in the world. After the Martial God sat down, his body and spirit were destroyed.
After the death of the God of War, the huge energy existing in his body will not disappear. After this huge energy precipitates over time, it will form a variety of strange flames, called human fire.
After listening to the introduction, Xiao Chen only felt his mind wandering. The world is so vast and all kinds of strange things are definitely not what can be seen in this small Mohe City.
I wish I could go out and have some adventures right away, but it's a pity that the ten-year appointment has not come yet. Xiao Chen will naturally go all out to do what Xiao Chen promised, and there is no way he can leave now.
"Is there really a Martial God in this world?" Xiao Chen asked.
Ao Jiao kept staring at Han Tie wrapped in flames and replied: "Of course, there are countless geniuses in the world who have reached the realm of the God of War. Although it is rare, it is not impossible."
"And according to legend, there are mysterious beings above the God of War."
Xiao Chen continued to ask: "The Thunder Emperor Sangmu, has he broken through to the Martial God?"
Aojiao said calmly: "I was killed at the last moment. I can only say that destiny is difficult."
Xiao Chen couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time. He was as powerful as the Thunder Emperor, but he was killed by someone in the end. It was really hard to believe that the person who killed him was the legendary God of War.
Telling Aojiao the questions in his heart, Aojiao just said lightly: "These are not what you are considering now. Although you have inherited the inheritance of Thunderwood Sword, you do not bear the responsibility of avenging him."
There seemed to be something wrong with this. How could there be any unwarranted benefit to him in this world without having to shoulder any responsibilities? Xiao Chen was greatly surprised.
Regarding the appearance of Ao Jiao, Xiao Chen had always been more worried than happy. Now when he heard her say this, he felt relieved.
But what Aojiao said next made Xiao Chen almost vomit blood, "Although you don't have to bear the responsibility of avenging the Thunder Emperor, it's hard to say whether trouble will come to you, so the good-for-nothing master should become strong as soon as possible. "
Xiao Chen was completely speechless. There were too many mysteries about Naojiao, why the sword in the Thunder Emperor's cave broke, who killed the Thunder Emperor, and how he became her master.
It can be said that Xiao Chen knows very little until now, and he usually wouldn't tell Naojiao if asked. Today, he revealed a little bit, but it still left people confused.
Whoops!
The black black iron wrapped in flames has now turned into a ball of liquid iron. It can be seen that the heat contained in this ghost bone fire is in huge contrast with the gentleness on its surface.
The conversation between the two only lasted five minutes, and this high-grade cold iron had already turned into a ball of molten iron. If it were calcined with Xiao Chen's Purple Thunder True Fire. It takes at least half a day. The huge gap shows how powerful the ghost bone fire is.
Aojiao gave a soft drink, and her cute face once again showed that serious look, which made people laugh a little bit.
In her right hand, a shining broken sword suddenly appeared, waving it at the molten iron in the flames.
In an instant, sparks were flying in the box, and little flames made violent explosions in the air. Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen hurriedly hid behind Ao Jiao.
Every time a ray of flame is shot, one drop of molten iron in the ghost bone fire is lost. Xiao Chen secretly thought in his heart that this should be removing impurities from the high-grade cold iron.
Generally, when the quality of cold iron is of the highest quality, it contains very few impurities. You want to remove the impurities without wasting the essence of cold iron.
In addition to requiring extremely high eyesight, what's more important is the speed of the knife. The molten iron seems to be stationary, but in fact, it is flowing at a high speed inside.
Xiao Chen released his spiritual consciousness and entered the inner world of molten iron. In front of him was a fiery red world. Even if it was Xiao Chen's spiritual consciousness that entered, he could still feel the terrifying temperature.
In this fiery red world, masses of Xiao Chen's unknown substance were constantly squeezing and flowing. Xiao Chen observed carefully for a long time and finally discovered some suspicions.
Those pure black substances should be the essence of cold iron. In addition to the black substances, some gray residual iron is removed from time to time.
The dagger in Aojiao's hand was as precise as those precision instruments in the previous life. When the gray matter was removed, the essence was completely preserved without any waste.
Xiao Chen withdrew his consciousness and looked at Ao Jiao's cute little girl-like face again, his eyes full of admiration. This Naojiao is not only good at refining medicine, but the skills she has shown now are obviously not something ordinary people can do.
How many secrets are hidden in this little girl? Can I really trust her completely
"It's done!" Aojiao took a breath and said with some joy.
She took back the ghost bone fire in her hand, and with a slight move, a piece of cold iron the size of a fist appeared in her petite hand, with a look of joy in her eyes.
"Master of useless materials, here you go."
Xiao Chen took the top-grade cold iron from Naojiao and was extremely happy. This fist-sized top-grade cold iron was worth hundreds of times more than the top grade cold iron.
But at this time, Xiao Chen found that the expression on Aojiao's face was even weaker, and he felt a fire in his heart for no reason, "You lied to me earlier, didn't you? You look so bad, you must have done something dangerous when you went out before. ”
"You also lied to me and said that the physique of the sword spirit is different from that of humans, so you can't judge things by looking at your face. Your current situation is simply caused by excessive continuous exertion."
Ao Jiao argued: "You actually look at a sword spirit with human eyes. He is really a waste and an idiot. You can deal with the flies outside."
After finishing speaking, Aojiao seemed to know that she was in the wrong, she got into the Qiankun Ring and never came out again.
Xiao Chen sighed in his heart, no wonder your sister is called Aojiao, Lei Di did not give her the wrong name, her tsundere attribute is still very high.
He released his consciousness and once again carefully observed the two Tang family disciples hiding outside, a sneer appeared on Xiao Chen's lips. If you want to take advantage of my young master, you should be a little more mature.
