"No, although we have the same goal, the results are different. Your cultivation is still not enough, Miss Nangong Yunyan."
Shangguan Bihan took graceful steps and moved onto the high platform, standing face to face against Nangong Yunyan.
Before stepping onto the high platform, Lin Chen casually bent down to pick up dozens of attribute light balls, leaving everyone confused about what this guy was touching.
"You said my cultivation is not enough?"
Nangong Yunyan revealed a hint of disdain, and asked arrogantly with pride and aloofness.
"Then please enlighten me and show me something more valuable than these True Flame Purple Phoenix beast cores." Don't forget, who was at my mercy just now."
Shangguan Bihan let out an elegant, light laugh, appearing very graceful and proper. She walked to the front of the ancient saber stand and said,
"Ordinary weapons only need one or two beast cores infused in them. Overloading beast cores will have the opposite effect, making it difficult for true divine weapons to take shape and withstand the energy. But this ancient saber can withstand nine beast cores. So how can its material be ordinary iron?"
Shangguan Bihan's words awakened the appraisers present. Many of them nodded in agreement.
They had always relied on their own appraisal methods, which had led to huge deviations in some of their thoughts.
Many people examined the quality of the ancient saber again, but other than its dilapidation and damage, they could not detect any energy fluctuations.
"Girl, if conjectures alone could make one an appraiser, there would be a lot more people in this profession," the Nangong Family Patriarch said with a laugh. His tone was full of mockery, implying that she would have to show her true skills to convince everyone!
"I wouldn't have come up if I wasn't confident," Shangguan Bihan said.
Her delicate jade hand shook the stand violently, causing the dilapidated sword to shudder and levitate. Her fingertips moved to sever the connection between the hilt and the blade.
Then she flipped her hand and flung the hilt at the white-haired elder hosting the auction, bowing gracefully and saying,
"Among those present who cultivate fire elemental skills, Elder Mo's cultivation is the strongest. I wonder if the elder could help burn this hilt with a small fire, and its secrets will naturally surface."
The white-haired elder hosting looked at Shangguan Bihan in surprise.
She actually saw through his cultivation and cultivation method at a glance? When did she reach this level!
"Since that's the case, I'll embarrass myself then."
The white-haired elder opened his palm, suddenly stimulating his own combat aura. Layer after layer of combat aura condensed into wild, raging orange flames that abruptly enveloped the hilt.
The elder was at the third level of the Earth Evil Realm. Stimulating his own combat aura was enough to incinerate the entire high platform. Thus, several elders each displayed their own combat auras to shield this fiery might.
Even so, the young people below still felt an extraordinary heat, and were soon drenched in sweat.
Lin Chen, on the other hand, kept hopping around to harvest all the scattered attribute light balls in and around the auction hall with a big swoop.
Some were still confused. What was this mathematician kid doing?
Grabbing and groping at the air? There was nothing there!
If not for the face of the Shangguan family, he would have been kicked out already!
Only the Shangguan family members looked at each other excitedly!
Because when this Stone Lezhi Master came to repair their ancestral shrine two days ago, he had done similar incomprehensible actions, but the Shangguan family knew it was profoundly esoteric!
Ignoring everyone's incredulous looks, Lin Chen pushed off the ground and leapt up to grab a chest hovering in midair—one of the three chests that had appeared when the four treasures were revealed earlier!
[Host opens the cyan bronze chest; gains 100 Green Dragon Bloodline points.]
[Host opens the purple bronze chest; obtains True Flame Purple Phoenix Wings.]
[Host opens the purple bronze chest; obtains the low-grade azure smithing imprint Eight Wastelands Profound Fire.]
After Lin Chen grabbed all the chests, the system screen popped up immediately. His gains were so abundant that Lin Chen's jaw dropped on the spot!
An azure-grade smithing imprint, Green Dragon Bloodline, plus the legendary ancient beast's wings, the True Flame Purple Phoenix Wings?
"Your daddy hit the jackpot this time, haha!" Lin Chen was extremely excited inwardly, but remained expressionless on the surface.
Within a few breaths after Lin Chen opened the chests, sounds of bewilderment and surprise spread from the surroundings.
"What is this?"
"The material used to forge this hilt is extraordinary!"
After being tempered by the white-haired elder's combat aura, the hilt slowly revealed a faint, blurred radiance that seemed to absorb the stars and contain the universe!
And the white-haired elder was using all his might to stimulate his combat aura to incinerate it, yet he could only slowly burn away its dust. The quality of the hilt's material was unimaginable!
After one quarter hour, two quarter hours, everyone present was still staring at the ancient hilt.
When the white-haired elder's combat aura was nearly exhausted, the hilt finally shed all the historical dust covering it, once again emanating the divine radiance from ancient times!
The hilt was entirely deep purple, cruciform, with a fish tail-shaped grip engraved with intricate gray runes, like an exquisite work of art.
"Just what kind of rare and exotic mineral is this..."
Everyone stared curiously at this brand-new hilt. Not a single appraiser present could discern its grade!
Shangguan Bihan took the hilt and held it up, announcing,
"This is the Nine Suns Purple Light Essence, a bona fide sixth-grade exotic mineral, indestructible, able to withstand the erosion of sun, moon, mountains and rivers. When used to forge weapons, adding just a little can transform the entire magic weapon into a divine weapon. Of course, the premise is having sufficient strength to forge it."
A sixth grade exotic mineral?
Shangguan Yunfan's mouth twitched upon hearing this grade. Such a level was already beyond the Desolate Territory!
It was a rare and wondrous substance that even Heavenly Gang Realm experts would find hard to obtain! Even if they did find it, they might not necessarily survive taking it!
The rarer the exotic mineral, the more adverse and terrifying environment it was born in. Even Heavenly Gang Realm experts might not necessarily have the qualification to access those places!
Without a doubt, a real sixth grade exotic mineral was far more valuable than nine True Flame Purple Phoenix beast cores!
"Is this really a sixth grade exotic mineral?"
Elder Mo, who was hosting, trembled with excitement. Shangguan Bihan smiled and nodded.
"The elder can have the owner find an even more powerful appraiser to evaluate it. If this is not a sixth grade item, I and the entire Shangguan family will take full responsibility."
The veteran appraisers present were awestruck. They already had an eighty percent certainty that this object was above fifth grade. Calling it sixth grade would not surprise them at all.
This meeting gathered the most outstanding appraisal talents and organizations in the entire Desolate Territory. One or two veteran appraisers failing to identify something could be an accident.
But everyone being unable to identify it only had one possibility—it was no longer something they could comprehend!
"It seems your Nangong family's cultivation is still lacking after all," Shangguan Bihan threw the same words back at the Nangong family and Huangfu clan, leaving both clenching their teeth in hatred!
The Shangguan family elders and the City Lord's men looked at each other, filled with shock and ecstasy! At the critical final moment, the Shangguan family had pulled ahead of the Nangong family again!
After she finished speaking, amidst everyone's shock, Shangguan Bihan looked at Lin Chen gratefully and admiringly.
Because the appraisal result this time was what Lin Chen had told her beforehand!
