Those frames were made of exquisite crystal inlays, with runes flowing on them, sealing ancient patterns within.
Some of these patterns were carved rubbings, some were bone scripts, and some were animal skin paper—all were designs from bronze cauldrons.
Among these patterns, two were the most numerous. One was the one Long Chen was holding, while the other rune was completely different.
"Oh no, the Qian Cauldron of the Qian Kun Cauldron looks the same as the Kun Cauldron, but the runes are completely different." Long Chen looked at the Qiankun Cauldron that Xia Chen and Guo Ran had just forged in the chaotic space, and was instantly stunned.
Completely different, how can you sell this? This was completely different from the plan; it was impossible to fool them.
"Everyone, look, among these illustrated guides, there are two types that are the most numerous and should also be the most trustworthy.
However, Long Chen's Qiankun Cauldron only fits one of them, so our Longteng Trading Company dares not claim its authenticity.
We can only be certain that Long Chen's bronze cauldron is not a fake, but it is not the real Qiankun Cauldron, which remains debatable. The elder in charge of the appraisal spoke up.
When these encyclopedias were revealed, the experts present were all stunned. Longteng Trading Company didn't dare to judge whether it was real or fake, fearing to take responsibility.
However, Longteng Trading Company's intention was clear: this thing must be old and impossible to fake. As for whether it was the real Qiankun Cauldron, we won't say for sure; you can decide for yourselves.
This made people even more eager to find that the bronze cauldron was very likely genuine.
"Long Chen, how much will you sell this bronze cauldron? What is settled with? "Someone asked.
"Not sure if it's true?" How do you sell them? Long Chen couldn't help but frown.
"We don't know if it's true or not. It's basically gambling. Gambling carries risks, wins and losses—on one hand, it's about luck, and on the other, it's about vision.
Just name your price directly. If the price is right, we're willing to take the risk; if you ask for an exorbitant price, then forget it. We're not fools—the gap between effort and reward is too big, and we won't take the risk.
Also, to be blunt, this stuff is like a hot potato. If you have the ability, it's fine to hold onto; if not, be careful—you might end up losing both money and people. "A chilling voice came from the private room that had been filled with demonic energy earlier.
"Tch, threatening me?" Do you think I was scared? Faced
with the man's threat, Long Chen sneered, "If I were with my old temper, just by your tone, I wouldn't be selling you. Let's see what you can do to me."
But you're one person, not everyone. Many people sincerely want to sell, and I, Long Chen, will never deliberately play tricks—I sincerely want to sell.
This bronze cauldron had an unknown origin. The Longteng Trading Company and a group of cunning old and cunning people refused to tell the truth.
No one knows if these bastards are secretly up to something, planning to buy them for themselves. "
Long Chen, stop slandering me and slandering Longteng Trading Company." The innate Tianzun expert from Longteng Trading Company, who had been connecting with Long Chen all along, roared angrily.
"Alright, I can't be bothered to waste words with you. How about this: I won't say whether it's the real Qiankun Cauldron.
It once faced off against an immortal divine weapon. I believe many people have heard about this; at the very least, it is a top-grade immortal divine weapon.
I'm not greedy; I'll trade it for immortal divine weapons or the corpses of immortal powerhouses. But I don't want corpses from humans, spirit races, or those benevolent races. Long Chen said.
"A corpse?"
The crowd erupted in commotion. Why would Long Chen want the corpse of an immortal expert?
"One for one?" Someone asked.
"Do you have any brains when you speak?" At least one trades for three; if you have fewer than three pieces, don't embarrass yourself. Long Chen sneered.
"One for three?" Are you kidding? So many powers with tens of millions of years of heritage don't even have a single immortal divine weapon, and you want to trade three for it as soon as you open your mouth? "Someone sneered.
"Swap if you want, or get lost. I'm here for auction, not for poverty alleviation. If you don't have money, what nonsense are you spouting?" Did you spend all your money on private rooms? Long Chen was not used to that person's habits and retorted directly.
That person did not show his face; he was inside the private room, clearly also a terrifying Innate Heavenly Venerable.
"You..."
The man was furious; Long Chen didn't take him seriously at all.
"Enough talk. I have the final say in my affairs. I'm straightforward in handling things, so let's not waste any time.
I'm only giving you one chance to bid: either three immortal divine weapons or three well-preserved corpses of immortal experts.
With me, the corpse of an immortal powerhouse is equivalent to an immortal divine weapon. The bronze cauldron suspected to be the Qiankun Cauldron is absolutely worth owning. Don't miss the opportunity; once lost, it won't happen. The auction begins now! Long Chen shouted loudly.
As Long Chen finished speaking, the entire venue fell into dead silence. No one placed a bid directly. The expert from Longteng Trading Company sneered: Without proper preparation, it went straight to climax—how could the scene not be awkward?
They were eager for Long Chen not to sell the Qiankun Cauldron, so they wouldn't have to pay him a service fee.
However, they had no real intention of paying Long Chen a service fee. Their contract had long been tampered with, and besides, Long Chen had deliberately disrupted Longteng Trading Company's plans. According to the contract, Long Chen had to compensate them a sum of money.
"I'll count to three. After that, even if the auction fails, I'll take back the bronze cauldron. One." Faced with this awkward silence, Long Chen showed no panic and simply counted the numbers.
"Two."
After counting to one, Long Chen didn't give anyone a moment to hesitate and shouted out two, as if afraid someone would bid.
At that moment, many people's expressions changed. They seemed to realize something. Just as Long Chen was about to shout 'three,' someone bidd:
"Three Immortal Demon Corpses."
It was shouted by a demon clan expert. As soon as that demon clan expert spoke, many of the beast clan warriors' expressions changed color.
Immortal powerhouse-level beasts possess endless treasures, yet the demon clan expert actually possesses three immortal demon corpses, which is quite intriguing.
The relationship between the demon beast clan and the demon clan is not friendly. The moment the demon clan powerhouse made an offer, it immediately aroused the beast clan's hostility.
"What's so strange about it? These corpses were all collected by us on the Ancient Battlefield, not by us." Hated by the powerful demon beast clan, the demon clan expert sneered.
Although his tone was contemptuous, many people could tell he was a bit timid. This explanation proved he didn't want to be targeted.
The demon clan expert remained in the private room, not showing his face. No one knew who he was, but the fact that he could explain it this way clearly showed he was extremely cautious about such matters.
Long Chen didn't care about any of this, no matter what origin of the immortal corpse—he accepted it without hesitation.
"Very good. Box No. 7 has already made an offer. Three immortal demon corpses for the first time."
As Long Chen spoke, he glanced around the crowd and immediately shouted, "The third time with three immortal demon corpses." "
"Three Immortal Demon Corpses, Third ..."
Just as Long Chen was about to drop his hammer, someone suddenly said coldly, "Four Immortal Demon Corpses." "
