Rise of the Sword Son-in-Law-Chapter 823 - 822: Disciple of the Mysterious Yellow Sect

Xu Ping’an successfully acquired the star map in his hands.

With this star map, even though it was incomplete, as long as he could comprehend it, he would be able to greatly enhance his cultivation.

The next few auction items were also rare treasures, but Xu Ping’an did not participate in the bidding.

After all, these items were not too appealing to him.

"Next up, we have an artifact from an Ancient Sect. It’s said that a Great Divine Artifact Master from the Artifact Divine Sect forged this item, and it reportedly contains a secret of the Artifact Divine Sect, yet no one has been able to claim its ownership till today," Ouyang Baixin explained.

When the crowd heard "Artifact Divine Sect," their eyes lit up.

However, when they heard that it could not be claimed, they showed extremely disappointed expressions.

An unclaimable artifact, no matter how good, was useless to them.

Of course, some were still interested in the artifact and wanted to explore its secrets.

However, Xu Ping’an’s eyes gleamed; this was good news.

With this condition, he could cause most people to give up.

This would make his mission much easier.

"Since it cannot be claimed, everyone should think carefully during the bidding. Of course, you can also take a gamble, as after all, this is an extremely important artifact of the Artifact Divine Sect," Ouyang Baixin continued.

Many around fell into deep thought.

They were clearly considering whether to bid for such an artifact.

Xu Ping’an, however, was determined to obtain it.

"Now let’s begin the auction, the starting bid for this artifact is 200,000, and each increment must be no less than 50,000," Ouyang Baixin said.

The crowd was immediately surprised.

While the starting bid was not a problem, each increment of 50,000 seemed quite high.

"I bid 200,000!"

Soon, someone from below called out a bid.

Xu Ping’an was not surprised by this; although the item could not be claimed, some still wanted to take a chance.

After all, the more difficult a treasure is to obtain, the greater the opportunity it might hold.

"250,000!"

Someone followed with another bid.

Xu Ping’an was not in a rush to bid, but instead waited for the price to stabilize.

Sure enough, when the price reached 500,000, there were noticeably fewer bidders.

"I bid 550,000!" Xu Ping’an immediately raised his paddle.

Hearing Xu Ping’an’s bid, many people looked towards him.

Clearly, they recognized him as the man who had competed with Shangguan Lingyu for the artifact before.

Ouyang Baixin also glanced at Xu Ping’an, seemingly surprised by his bid.

Xu Ping’an remained calm and composed, knowing that obtaining this artifact would complete his mission.

"600,000!"

However, just then, a voice rang out.

Xu Ping’an looked toward the direction of the voice, only to see a young man in box number two, looking at him with interest.

Xu Ping’an did not know this person, but the people standing next to him made him realize what was happening.

Yes, standing next to the young man were the members of the Mysterious Yellow Sect he had encountered outside the merchant hall on that day.

Included among them were Duan Qing and Zhao Xian’er from the day of the conflict with Lv Yun, along with two other disciples of the Mysterious Yellow Sect.

However, their strength was not as great as that of the young man who had bid.

"It’s him, Elder, this could be troublesome. That person is the chief disciple of the Mysterious Yellow Sect, a genius who is said to be thirty-six this year, and his strength has already reached the Fourth Layer of the Immortal Emperor Realm. They are clearly targeting us," Lv Yun hurriedly said.

"I know, it’s fine, auctions are always a matter of the highest bidder. Let them cause trouble if they want," Xu Ping’an spoke.

After finishing his statement, Xu Ping’an called out a bid of six hundred and fifty thousand again.

However, just as Xu Ping’an finished calling out his bid, the other party immediately placed a higher bid.

Xu Ping’an’s eyes instantly narrowed.

The surrounding crowd also became instantly intrigued.

It seemed that this fellow from room number thirteen "Xuan" had offended the Mysterious Yellow Sect, and the other party was clearly picking a fight.

"This guy has offended the Mysterious Yellow Sect; now there’s a good show to watch."

"Yes, Mo Ya of the Mysterious Yellow Sect always seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. If he targets someone, he’ll definitely pursue it to the end."

Many people around were discussing non-stop.

Some sympathized with Xu Ping’an while others were watching the spectacle.

At this moment, in booth number two "Di," a conversation was also taking place.

"Brother Mo, you’re too awesome. That guy’s face has turned green, haha!" Duan Qing said proudly.

"We’re just getting started. If he dares to keep bidding up the price, I’ll make him lose a great deal. If he doesn’t, he won’t be able to get his hands on anything," Mo Ya said with a cold laugh.

"That’s right; this guy needs to be taught a lesson, daring to hurt Brother He." Zhao Xian’er chimed in.

"Don’t worry, I’ll make sure He’s wounds are repaid tenfold. It’s just a tenth rank with a slightly stronger soul power; I can easily kill him," Mo Ya said with disdain.

Hearing this, both Duan Qing and Zhao Xian’er appeared extremely pleased.

However, Yu Wei, standing to one side, had a slight frown on her brow. She felt that Mo Ya’s actions were somewhat improper.

Xu Ping’an gave her a dangerous vibe, and offending him seemed to be a loss-making endeavor.

Nevertheless, she didn’t say anything, knowing that even if she did, Mo Ya wouldn’t listen.

"This is simply outrageous!" Lv Yun said angrily.

Xu Ping’an remained calm and called out another bid, "Seven hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Eight hundred thousand!" Mo Ya promptly followed.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand!" Xu Ping’an called again.

"One million!" Mo Ya said abruptly.

The surrounding crowd immediately exclaimed.

Mo Ya was really throwing his weight around, spending a million to purchase an artifact that could not recognize its master.

To many, the Thousand Mechanism Pagoda, if its secrets remained undiscovered, might not even be worth a hundred thousand.

It seemed this guy was targeting the young man in room thirteen "Xuan."

"Kid, if you want to contend with me, just give up that idea. You’ve offended our Mysterious Yellow Sect, and I’ll make sure you have nowhere to be buried," Mo Ya said arrogantly.

At that, all eyes around turned towards Xu Ping’an.

Indeed, it was as they thought; this guy had truly offended the Mysterious Yellow Sect.

To be known in the Mystic Spirit Realm, the Mysterious Yellow Sect was the number one sect, offending them was akin to signing up with King Yama.

Yet Xu Ping’an was extremely calm, facing Mo Ya’s threat with a slight smile on his lips.

"Since you are so fond of this item, then let it be yours," Xu Ping’an said with a smile.

He was no fool.

Should he bid again, the opponent would immediately give up the bidding.

Instead of continuing, it was better to stop bidding and let him have it.

"I give up!" Xu Ping’an stated outright.

Hearing this, Mo Ya’s eyes instantly narrowed. He initially wanted to trick Xu Ping’an, but he hadn’t expected Xu Ping’an to give up.

This move actually cost him quite a loss.

But he didn’t care, for the Mysterious Yellow Sect had plenty of money.
