Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the venue immediately became heavy.

This price almost doubled the current one, which has exceeded the affordability of many people.

Many felt it wasn't worth paying such a high price for a vague half of a jade pendant, and they leaned back in their chairs, giving up on bidding.

Underneath his black robe, Wu Kun's palms were sweating nervously.

He looked at the crowd's reaction and felt somewhat excited, thinking this item would definitely be in his possession.

“This will definitely make Elder Chu happy!”

After the old man called out several times without a response, just as he was about to bring down the hammer, Li Guanqi softly spoke, “Four thousand.”

This voice shattered Wu Kun's fantasy!

Wu Kun stared intently at the black-robed figure in front of him, feeling a sense of familiarity.

Calculating his spirit stones, he gritted his teeth and said, “Four thousand two hundred!”

Li Guanqi casually replied, “Five thousand.”

Wu Kun slammed his fist on the table!

Bang!!!

“You're doing this on purpose!!”

“Do you know who I am!!”

The furious Wu Kun clearly didn't expect Li Guanqi to interfere at this moment.

However, he felt that this item was a must-have, and this price was already the limit of what he could afford.

The people in attendance didn't want to spend a lot of money on something uncertain; playing around was fine, but now...

Li Guanqi, completely hidden under his black robe, narrowed his eyes at Wu Kun, tilting his head slightly.

However, this seemingly ordinary action made Wu Kun's forehead break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone also felt the faint pressure emanating from Li Guanqi.

Wu Kun was now regretting his rash behavior.

Those who could appear here were either powerful experts or people with extremely high status.

After all, the old woman at the door wouldn't let just anyone in.

Even he, Wu Kun, had to beg and plead to get in with great difficulty.

Li Guanqi didn't speak, just sat silently in his chair, gently tapping the armrest with his fingers.

Then, he slowly turned his head to look at the old man hosting the auction.

The old man's expression was somewhat awkward, and his face gradually turned cold.

His gaze towards Wu Kun was also somewhat unkind.

The old man coldly snorted, looking at Wu Kun without mercy and said,

“Regardless of whether this is a black market or not, some rules are not just for show.”

“If you want it, pay up!”

“If you don't have money, get out!”

Boom!!!

As he spoke, the old man unleashed an incredibly terrifying pressure from his body, a pressure that even Li Guanqi was secretly shocked by!

This aura... this old man is not simple!

Wu Kun was sitting in his chair, his entire body tense and unable to move.

As a Golden Core middle stage cultivator, how could he withstand the old man's unrestrained pressure?

His mind trembling, he understood that he had violated a taboo.

The old man looked around and said in a deep voice, “Since no one is continuing to bid, then this jade pendant belongs to this fellow Daoist.”

With that, he raised his hand and handed the jade pendant to Li Guanqi first.

As soon as Li Guanqi touched it, he knew that this jade pendant was the other half!

Forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, he discreetly put the jade pendant away.

After paying, he didn't leave immediately, but wanted to see what else was coming up.

However, the following items made Li Guanqi lose interest; they were just some magical artifacts and cultivation techniques.

He wasn't interested in these cultivation techniques, after all, he had a sword spirit by his side, and all kinds of techniques started at the Heaven-rank.

He couldn't care less about these Profound-rank and Earth-rank techniques.

However, just because he didn't care for these things didn't mean others didn't.

The remaining people were doing their best to compete for these techniques.

After all, these things, whether for a family or a sect, were things that could be passed down for a long time.

An Earth-rank technique would probably fetch a sky-high price outside.

However, most of these techniques came from questionable sources, so they didn't dare to openly auction them outside.

An hour later, Li Guanqi, feeling bored, teleported away from the courtyard.

This scene was also seen by Wu Kun. After seeing Li Guanqi leave, he gasped for breath.

He immediately contacted the elders in his clan to protect him, fearing that the other party would ambush him in the dark.

After all, he had spent a lot of money to buy a magical artifact.

However, Li Guanqi didn't take the other party seriously at all. In his opinion, the other party was just a clown.

If there was anyone who could pique his interest, it would probably be the six-fingered youth beside him.

In his opinion, that young man's aura was steady and powerful, his hands were slender and long, and the weapon he used was definitely not a conventional sword.

However, as soon as he returned, he found an old man sitting in front of his room's desk.

Seeing him come back, the old man slowly got up, with a smile on his face.

Li Guanqi didn't expect there to be anyone in the room, and looked at the old man with some surprise.

Still wearing his black robe, he looked at the old man warily and asked,

“Who are you?”

Although he didn't feel any malice from the old man, he didn't think it was a good thing that the other party had broken into his room without permission.

Chu Xingxian looked at him with interest, wondering where he had gone in that outfit.

Chu Xingxian said with a smile, “You're quite cautious, which is good.”

As he spoke, the old man took out a jade slip and threw it to Li Guanqi with a smile.

“This old man is called Chu Xingxian, and I am the Sect Master of the Wind Thunder Sect.”

“I am good friends with Lu Kangnian, and I came here today just to meet you and invite you to the Wind Thunder Sect as a guest.”

Li Guanqi was slightly stunned, not expecting to meet the Sect Master's friend here.

However, the age difference between the two seemed a bit large...

Doubtfully taking the jade slip, he scanned it with his divine sense and found that it was indeed Lu Kangnian's jade slip, and the aura inside was definitely correct.

Moreover, with his keen divine sense, he hadn't detected the old man's aura at all before entering the room.

The old man's aura was deep and profound, and the aura he probed disappeared like a clay ox entering the sea.

This showed that the difference in strength and realm between the two was probably very large.

If such a person harbored ill intentions towards him, he would probably have lost his life long ago.

However, he still quietly sent a message to his master, Li Nanting.

Soon, Li Nanting's voice came from the jade slip, with a hint of surprise in his voice.

“That old codger Chu Xingxian is looking for you?”

“Guanqi, let me tell you, no matter what conditions he offers, our Great Xia Sword Sect can give them to you now, so don't you go joining another sect!”

“Old codger, are you listening? Let me tell you, don't even think about poaching!”

Li Guanqi had a black line on his face. He just wanted to ask his master if he knew the relationship between the old man in front of him and the Sect Master.
