Chapter 137: Seventh-tier Items

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the distinguished room, Yin Zhaoyang slapped himself on the forehead, feeling very dizzy. ‘Higher level my ass! Fourth-tier will be the highest-level information a third-tier alchemist can record in those jade slips!’

Wordless, Xu Zizhuo and Gan Deming were staring at the three jade slips from the backstage as well.

Mister Mei randomly took a jade slip and placed it against his forehead as he began to identify it. The Mei Clan’s art of appraisal was unparalleled. Suddenly, he frowned, his pupils constricted, and then an incredulous look crept up his face.

Yin Zhaoyang almost vomited blood as he watched that. ‘Oh no! They are really rubbish. Even Mister Mei cannot believe something so ridiculous! Ah well, since this lad has Elder Yuwen behind him, they can’t blame me for this.’

Meanwhile, under the gazes of all, Mister Mei’s face turned extremely pale, as if he just saw something terrible.

Puke!

A mouthful of blood sprayed out of his mouth while he moved back a few steps on the stage and fell back on his buttocks, with shock and terror in his eyes.

“Mister Mei!” Xu Zizhuo hurried up from the backstage and helped Mister Mei to his feet as he asked shockingly, “What’s the matter? There’s something wrong with the jade slips?”

Everyone was dumbfounded by the change and became somewhat confused. The intense atmosphere of the auction was slightly relieved, however, as the crowd was eager to know what was going on.

Yin Zhaoyang was startled as he thought to himself, ‘What happened? Is it because the thing inside is not even third-tier, and he is so angry that he vomited blood?’

Mister Mei shook his head as he opened his mouth and coughed out another mouthful of blood. Hurriedly, Xu Zizhuo took out a medicinal pill and shoved it into his mouth, and only then did he look better.

After thanking Xu Zizhuo, Mister Mei stared at the jade slip with reverence in his eyes and said, “The information recorded in this jade slip is beyond the sixth-tier. I tried to crack it with force, but as I am not strong enough, it hit back at me. If I had known you have items that are beyond the sixth-tier, I would not dare to come here and host the auction.” He gave Xu Zizhuo a somewhat reproachful look as he smiled wryly and said, “I think you have to invite someone better than me in the Mei Family to appraise these few jade slips.”

“What! Items that are beyond the sixth-tier? Heavens! Wouldn’t that make them seventh-tier items!”

“Seventh-tier? Are you kidding me? Information of the seventh-tier already contains the Laws of the World, and each is a priceless treasure! Who would be so stupid as to auction it off?”

“Didn’t you see even Mister Mei get wounded by it? Are you not believing in Mei Family’s art of appraisal?”

“Damnit, seventh-tier! How do you expect me to believe that?”

Xu Zizhuo looked shocked too as he swallowed hard and asked, “Mister Mei, are you sure that thing in it is…seventh-tier?” It was a rude question, but he had to ask it, because even he could not believe that.

Mister Mei understood what he meant. He gave a bitter laugh and said, “I don’t know if it is truly the seventh-tier, because I have not identified it. But, I’m sure it is beyond the sixth-tier, because I’ve never failed to identify anything below the sixth-tier.”

Everyone was astounded, and they had no more doubts. Their eyes lit up with greed, staring at the jade slips in the tray. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the hall grew intense.

Xu Zizhuo’s face flickered. He was, after all, the manager of the Firecrow branch, so he was very good at handling things. He took a deep breath and shouted, “Elder Gan, increase all security to the special level! No one is allowed to walk in the hall, and no one is permitted to enter or leave! And all of you, please retract your auras! Anyone who dares to release his aura will be deemed as a threat, and he will be killed on the spot!”

Suddenly, dozens of figures were running back and forth around the auction hall, watching closely at every corner. They were all Myriad Treasures Store’s guards. Gan Deming also released his divine sense and enveloped the whole place. Anyone who tried to do something reckless would be immediately detected by him.

Xu Zizhuo cried out in a deep voice again, “I hope those in the distinguished rooms on the second floor can help Myriad Treasures Store maintain the order. You all are famous figures in the Firecrow Empire, so if anyone tries to act recklessly later and we can’t handle them, I hope you all can lend us a helping hand!”

After all, seventh-tier items were too heaven-defying in such a remote place, so Xu Zizhuo had prepared for the worst.

Just then, Xin Ruyu’s voice rang out of the middle room, “Don’t worry, Manager Xu! If anyone dares to strike, we, the Xin Family of Firecrow Empire, will not just sit back and watch.”

“The Xin Family! They are really from the imperial family!”

The people down below all looked at the room in shock. Everyone knew that the Xin Family was the imperial family of the Firecrow Empire. Upon hearing that, the faces of some lone warriors, who were harboring ill intentions, grew serious as they suppressed their greed. It was no different from digging their own graves if they struck now. After all, nothing was more important than their lives.

Inside the distinguished room next to the imperial family, Yin Zhaoyang, Xiao Qingwang, and the others were staring blankly at the stage with wide eyes, all frozen to the spot. Luo Yunshang and Meng Bai were the only two who looked normal; the former was born in Shenxiao Temple, and she knew Gu Feiyang was behind Yunxiao, and the latter simply had no idea about the value of a seventh-tier item.

Meanwhile, Xu Zizhuo had invited Meng Wu up to the stage. With a complicated look in his eyes, he said, “Young lady, what os inside these three jade slips? Can you please introduce them?” Since Mister Mei had failed to identify them, he had to invite the owner to speak. Otherwise, how could the items be auctioned off?

Meng Wu’s face was blank as well, but a voice was soon transmitted into her ear, and she nodded slightly. Realizing that someone was sending her a voice transmission, the crowd tried to tap into it. However, they discovered that the voice was protected by a very strong divine sense, which repelled all the divine senses rushing at it.

“It is that fourth-tier alchemist!” Yue Jiulin said in a low voice. “The divine sense belongs to the fourth-tier alchemist next to us!”

Xin Ruyu was taken aback, and he said incredulously, “The Cheng Family is auctioning off these three jade slips? How’s that possible! What’s their purpose?”

Yue Jiulin narrowed his eyes. “Perhaps we’ve guessed it wrongly. The people next to us may not be from the Cheng Family. They may have really died in the trade fair a few days ago!”

Surprised, Xin Ruyu asked, “Who would they be then?”

“I have a guess, but I don’t know whether it is correct or not. We shall see. Since these three jade slips are seventh-tier items, we cannot let them slip through our hands.”

Xin Ruyu nodded lightly. Seventh-tier items were rare even in the imperial palace.

Meng Wu had come to her senses from the voice transmission, but she was still extremely nervous when there were ten thousand people staring at her at the same time. Carefully, she told Xu Zizhuo, “Young Master Yun said the three jade slips are the recipe of the seventh-tier Shaoyang pill, the recipe of the seventh-tier Fivemountains clothes, and the diagram of the seventh-tier Palewolf array.”

“Sure enough! They are all seventh-tier items!” Everyone was shocked when they heard that, but not many people had any expressions on their faces, because most of them had never heard of these three items.

“What!” Unexpectedly, the first person to shout was Xu Zizhuo. His eyes shone brightly as he grabbed Meng Wu’s shoulders and said, “One of them is the recipe of Shaoyang pill? You didn’t lie to me, did you?”

He shook her so hard that she felt pain. She wrenched free of his clutch and said, “Since Young Master Yun said so, it is true then!”

“Young Master Yun? Who is this Young Master Yun?” The crowd was surprised and chatters filled the hall in an instant.

“Sure enough!” Yue Jiulin said, “The man in the room next to us is Li Yunxiao, who was recently made the King of Wucheng by their emperor Qin Yue and the City Lord of Yanwu!”

Xin Ruyu furrowed his eyebrows in surprise. “Li Yunxiao? Why haven’t I heard you mention this guy? And how does a City Lord of a small state have seventh-tier items?”

Yue Jiulin shook his head and said, “This Li Yunxiao only started to catch my attention after he killed Cheng Feiche. I don’t know much about him right now. It seems that I need to investigate him thoroughly when I get back.”

Puzzled, Xin Ruyu said, “Since he dares to kill Cheng Feiche, this Li Yunxiao is either a madman or a very strong man. We need to pay him a little more attention.” In his eyes, a City Lord of a small state able to let him ‘pay a little more attention’ was already a very strange thing.

Yue Jiulin sent his divine sense into the next room again, but it was still repelled by another divine sense. Although he was not an alchemist, only an alchemist of fourth-tier or above could have a divine sense stronger than his.

Xu Zizhuo realized that he had forgotten himself. So, he hastily calmed himself down, but there was an excited look in his eyes that could not be concealed. Although the crowd did not know what a Shaoyang pill was, they knew it must be something extraordinary, as even Xu Zizhuo, a fifth-tier alchemist, had forgotten himself because of it!

Suddenly, Mister Mei said, “Young lady, I suggest that these three jade slips are auctioned separately. Otherwise, the price will be too high for ordinary people to afford. And, if you sell them together, they won’t fetch a good price either.”

Meng Wu’s face was blank, but she received Yunxiao’s voice transmission very soon. She bowed slightly and said, “We will do as what Mister Mei suggests.”

After regulating his breath for a moment, Mister Mei finally recovered. He glanced at the three jade slips in great awe, then walked in front of the auction stand and said, “I believe you have all heard that just now. These three jade slips are seventh-tier items. As for their functions, I do not know. May I invite this young lady to explain to us?”

Xu Zizhuo’s face flickered; he did not wish Meng Wu to say anything. After all, not many people here were knowledgeable. If the jade slips were introduced one by one, their value would become immeasurable. He smiled bitterly as he watched Meng Wu listen attentively to the voice transmission. He knew he was about to lose a lot of money this time.

But, no matter how much it would cost, he was determined to get the recipe of the Shaoyang pill!
