257. Auction

Barks Forgers was famous for their weapons. As the only major sect among the Ten Great Sects within Heaven Alliance who specialises in weapons they held connections far beyond anyone's imagination.

Their sect was fully focused on weapons and could be said to be devoted to creating them. Zel was part of the Barks Sect and was from the main line. His talent in forging was mediocre but as merchant he was heads and shoulders above others. This is also the reason he was appointed as the manager of Barks Forgers within Merchants City.

The Auction was happening inside a large building owned by Barks Sect. The place could hold thousands of people with ease but still the number of people today seemed far more than just thousands.

A crowd was gathered outside the Auction Hall. Those with Power, Position and Wealth went inside one by one.

The Auction Hall was split into Four levels. There are no distinction when getting into First and Second level. Anyone who has money could get in. The Third Level however was different, only those with Power and Position could sit there.

As for the Fourth level, that was where the VIP among VIP sat. Ryu was seated exactly here. Looking down Ryu could hear myriad of discussions going on.

" Grade 5 Immortal Weapon! And Six of them! Who is it!? "

" Whoever it is, he has to be atleast a Grade 5 Immortal Blacksmith otherwise it's impossible to fork out that many weapons."

" But when did such a person emerge within our realm. If such a GrandMaster was to show himself he would surely be welcomed by every power out there. Even Heaven Alliance and the other two ruling powers would give anything for him to join."

" Exactly. I just saw the Vice Head of Glacier Sect, she is just like the rumours say. An absolute beauty."

" Do you mean the Frozen Fairy of Glacier Sect!? Heavens! Even she is here!? "

" Not only her. I heard even the Valiant Sword Sect is also here. They must be here for those three Swords."

Ryu was surprised to see so many powerful people gather at one location. His Chaos Eyes swept past the building, in his vision he saw huge amount of energy being concentrated within several individuals.

' If one tenth of that energy were to erupt I suppose my previous world would be destroyed in an instant without so much of a dust remaining.'

Ryu changed his eyes when one of those energy quivered.

' Whoops.'

A man inside another VIP box just several meters away from Ryu was frowning. He had long brown hair which was tied into a ponytail. Seating beside him was a youngster who was quite handsome.

Both of them wore white clothes with black outlines. A sharp sword insignia was on their chest.

Noticing the look on the man's face the youngster asked.

" What's wrong master? "

" Hmm.... just now I sensed someone looking at us."

" Huh? That can't be. There is someone who can spy on you master? "

" Don't be arrogant Leo. There is always someone stronger than you out there. A Swordsman must acknowledge his weakness and strive to get stronger. Blind confidence will only lead to destruction."

" Sorry master. I will take note."

The young man apologized to his master and nodded seriously. The man had a faint smile on his face as he looked at his pupil.

" Master, are we really planning to buy all three. Do we have that many Spirit Stones? "

" Don't worry. We will take all three Swords! "

" But Fairy Lily.....

" This is an Auction Leo. Whoever has bigger pouch would win."

" Alright! "

Soon the stage below lit up. Zel walked up to the stage and bowed towards the audience. His figure gave off an elegant vibe as he did so. With a graceful smile he spoke

" Ladies and Gentlemen, I thank you on behalf of Barks Forgers for coming on such short notice. For your sincerity I shall pledge on my sects honor and guarantee that none of you will be disappointed.

As all of you have known. Barks Forgers will be putting up six Grade 5 Immortal Weapons for sale! "

A round of applause rang through the building. Taking a deep breath Zel continued

" Well I know noone wants to hear me blab on so without further ado.....

As soon as his voice faded away a gorgeous woman wearing red dress walked up to the stage with a weapon covered in clothes. She gracefully walked towards Zel and placed the weapon before him.

The hall was in absolute silence. Everyone was waiting for Zel to remove the cloth covering the weapon and he didn't dwell any further. As soon as the cloth was removed a Long sword was revealed before them.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, this Sword is called Oceans Heart. It is made from a rare metal called Deep Blue Crystal which is formed once every ten thousand years. The main element for the blade is made of Dragon Steel which is said to be one the strongest metals out there.

And of course as a Grade 5 weapon the sword also possess an untainted spirit. What's more amazing is that this sword possess the ability to calm your mind making soul attacks less damaging and gives it's user a higher chance to comprehend any sword technique! "

The place went silent before exploding with noise.

" What kind of perverted ability is that? Giving a chance to comprehend sword techniques!? "

" Shit! I wish I was born filthy rich then I could have bought it!! Damn poverty!! "

" ~ sigh ~ I guess its also our fortune to have seen such a sword."

The young man named Leo turned towards his master with excitement.

" Master we have get that!! With that Master your Tyrants Advance will go a step further!! "

The man who was calm all this time showed a slight excitement. A fire burned within his eyes as he stared at Oceans Heart.

" Well then.... the base bid will be 1 million Low Grade Spirit Stone. Each increment must be atleast Hundred Thousand. Let the bidding begin! "
