"Nonsense, Long Chen, what exactly do you want?"
Countless strong figures from Longteng Trading Company rushed out. The innate Heavenly Venerable who had been knocked down by Long Chen roared hysterically.
He was about to lose his mind. At this point, Long Chen was deliberately causing trouble.
"What do you think I want to do?" Your Longteng Trading Company is really shameless. They came to support me because of the bronze cauldron in my hand.
You actually let me hold my last auction, leaving everyone who came here hanging here? Is this how you handle things?
We're all cultivators—how precious is time? The Saint King Conference is about to begin—who has time to watch you shoot other junk? As
Long Chen spoke, he turned to the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, I, Long Chen, sincerely want to sell this bronze cauldron here. There's no time to waste."
So I want to ask for everyone's opinions. I request the first auction item, the bronze tripod. Let's get straight to the point and get straight to the point. Do you agree? "
Agreed."
As soon as Long Chen spoke, most of the powerful figures present joined in the shout. Just as Long Chen said, they were all here for the Qiankun Cauldron—no one wanted to waste time.
However, everyone knows auction houses have their own unspoken rules: the most precious items are auctioned last, which has become the rule, and there's nothing you can do.
But Long Chen's coaxing immediately resonated with countless people. They all wanted to broaden their horizons and see if the bronze cauldron in Long Chen's hand was real or fake.
"Bastard, are you trying to ruin our Longteng Trading Company? How much do you think Longteng Trading Company will lose like this? "The strongman from Longteng Trading Company roared angrily.
"Whether you lose money or not is none of my business. Our agreement doesn't specify whether I'm the first to be auctioned. I'll be the first to auction now. Once it's auctioned, you can just continue, right? Long Chen said.
"You ..."
The old man was so angry he nearly spat blood. If the bronze cauldron was sold, who would still buy the remaining auction items?
It's like a lantern riddle—before the puzzle is even released, you already reveal the answer. How can you play this game?
If possible, the old man wished he could strangle Long Chen on the spot. With Long Chen doing this, the scene instantly spiraled out of control.
"Let's start quickly, stop playing all those pretentious things."
"It's good to be straightforward. No one cares about that trash. Long Chen, just get straight to the point."
"Hurry up, our time is precious. Longteng Trading Company is too slow to get things done. Long Chen, show the Qiankun Cauldron."
Even the experts in the front row boxes started to cheer. Most of them were innate Celestial Venerable-level experts, representing their own powers and holding high status. Some even couldn't afford to mess with Longteng Trading Company.
The people of Longteng Trading Company were so angry they nearly collapsed, but once everyone's emotions were stirred, it was hard to suppress them.
They were like ants on a hot pan, wondering what to do when the dazzling light on stage trembled. At that moment, they knew it was over.
"Everyone, please look! This is the treasured bronze cauldron I obtained from the Three Thousand Worlds."
Long Chen directly took out the bronze cauldron, but to his surprise, the moment it was removed from the chaotic space, the Qiankun Cauldron in his sea of consciousness trembled slightly, and the counterfeit bronze cauldron in Long Chen's hand was imbued with a strange brilliance.
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. So far, apart from using the Qiankun Cauldron to refine pills, he couldn't actually drive it for any other purpose.
But this time, it actually took the initiative to channel a wisp of divine light into the counterfeit, and a trace of its divine might immediately appeared on it. Clearly, it was helping Long Chen fake it.
With this, Long Chen couldn't help but be overjoyed. With the help of the genuine Qiankun Cauldron, no one could tell the truth about this fake.
Long Chen tried to communicate with the Qiankun Cauldron, but it paid him no mind. It seemed this divine weapon from the Chaos Era was very aloof.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the bronze cauldron appeared, chaotic energy swirled, and the runes on it trembled, as if alive, as if they were constantly moving.
Above, birds and beasts, mountains and rivers, sun, moon, and stars flowed by, making people seem to see a world from a chaotic era, its vast aura making one feel insignificant.
"This ..."
When Xia Chen and Guo Ran saw the bronze cauldron, they were startled: "Boss, did you take it by mistake? Did you really take it out?" "
That counterfeit bronze cauldron was forged by Xia Chen and Guo Ran alone. Although the appearance is identical and the runes are exactly the same, everything they made was dead. Now, it has come back to life."
As soon as the bronze cauldron appeared, countless powerful figures present were deeply moved. The experts in the first row of private rooms could no longer sit still and all walked to the front of the compartment, using their spiritual senses to examine the bronze cauldron.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't come up on stage, don't be shameless, trying to snatch it, huh?" Long Chen pointed coldly at a Heavenly Venerable and said coldly.
The powerful figure instinctively walked toward the Qiankun Cauldron, instantly alerting Long Chen. Long Chen pressed down on the cauldron with one hand and pointed at the person with the other, preparing to put the cauldron away at any moment.
"Don't get me wrong, I just can't help but want to take a look." Only then did the powerful figure stop in his tracks.
"Everyone, it's useless to look. Professional things naturally need expert appraisals.
Didn't Longteng Trading Company say they had already prepared eight top-tier appraisers? Where are the people from Longteng Trading Company? Are they all dead? Why aren't you coming up to work? Long Chen shouted loudly.
As Long Chen shouted and cursed, eight elders stepped onto the high platform. These eight elders wore angry expressions, clearly disrupting all the plans here because of Long Chen.
But now that the matter was settled and irreversible, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and step forward. The eight of them took out a large pile of appraisal tools, put on gloves, and began to observe the Qiankun Cauldron.
However, these eight dared not get too close to the bronze cauldron. On one hand, Long Chen had said that no one was allowed to come within ten zhang of the cauldron, reasoning that he was afraid of being robbed.
Another reason is that although these elders have rich appraisal experience, their own strength is only at the Human Sovereign realm, unable to withstand such terrifying pressure.
While the eight elders were busy appraising, countless divine senses swept back and forth over the bronze cauldron, feeling the overwhelming chaotic energy. Their breathing grew somewhat rapid.
These experts were all well-informed and knowledgeable. Whether they were treasures or not, they could tell at a glance that the powerful fluctuations and weathered aura were absolutely impossible to fak.
It was very likely that this really was the legendary Qiankun Cauldron. Some people had already begun to have dangerous thoughts. In an instant, the entire auction hall went from boiling to quiet, and finally to deathly silence. The tense atmosphere was so intense that many people could hardly breathe.
The eight of them worked back and forth for nearly half an hour. In the end, they exchanged glances, nodded to each other, and then looked toward an elderly man in the distance.
Long Chen saw all of this and said coldly, "What's wrong?" After the appraisal, should we first report to your master?
Whether this is real or not, is it up to you to decide, or is it up to your masters? "
"What does Longteng Trading Company mean?" Since the appraisal is done, the results should be released directly. Why? Still need to discuss it? As
soon as Long Chen spoke, the hot-tempered man immediately lost his temper. For a moment, everyone turned their attention to the people from Longteng Trading Company.
"Speak?" Is it true or not? Long Chen shouted coldly, and at that moment, the scene fell silent again.
