Chapter 80 Visualization Diagram, Sword Power (th update, words, please subscribe)

"I guess everyone is here today for the spiritual soldier, right?"

“But the next lot is also of great significance!”

The bidding for the previous item has ended, and the auctioneer on the round stage introduced the items again with a smile. At the same time, a team of maids in cool clothes walked onto the round stage in a graceful manner, carrying trays.

The tray was covered with red silk cloth, and the bulges on it could be clearly seen, but they were obviously not spiritual weapons.

After whetting everyone's appetite, the female auctioneer smiled sweetly and turned to look at the maid.

As if it had been rehearsed countless times, a maid came forward and lifted the red silk cloth, revealing the scroll on the tray.

"Calligraphy and painting?"

Cao Ze, who had already retreated to the edge of the hall, stopped. He became interested in the item and had an intuition that made him stop.

At this time, two other maids came forward, each holding the two ends of the scroll and slowly opening it.

It’s actually a secondary painting!
But soon, Cao Ze discovered something was wrong.

In the painting, the night is like splashed ink, the waves are surging like the sky, and a swordsman wearing a bamboo hat is standing on a small boat.

The swordsman was stuck on the bow like a nail, standing still despite the rolling waves.

The waves rose up as high as mountains and smashed towards the bow of the ship.

Swish!
The knife flashed, like a silver swallow piercing into the night.

Soon, dazzling sunlight shone from the sky.

This knife actually cut through the storm and revealed the sun!
Cao Ze was in a trance, but found that the scroll clearly only had a picture of a swordsman standing on the bow of a ship, without any sword light or sunlight.

But he was sure that what he had just seen was definitely not an illusion!
He could feel the throbbing in his heart.

Strike the ocean!
This is the real way to strike the ocean!
He now urgently hopes to have a closer look at the painting.

"Yes, this is a visualization picture!"

The auctioneer said this in a decisive tone, but the maid behind her had already put away the scroll.

The people in the auction hall finally woke up from their dream and became excited.

Originally, many people came for the spiritual weapons, but they didn't expect to encounter a treasure like the Visualization Map that was no less valuable than the spiritual weapons. Many people even gave up on the spiritual weapons and decided to fight for the Visualization Map with all their strength.

They knew very well how fierce the competition for spiritual weapons would be, so they might as well settle for the next best thing.

For warriors, martial arts usually have four levels: entry, minor success, major success, and perfection.

Being able to practice a martial art to perfection, one can become invincible across realms in the Body Tempering Realm.

What this means is that if a martial artist at the fifth level of body forging can practice a martial art to perfection, he can be invincible at the sixth level of body forging.

But perfection is not the end of martial arts.

Above perfection, there is a higher level realm, and we will turn it into momentum!
Momentum is usually a high level of realm that only masters can comprehend. This is the so-called using momentum to overwhelm others.

Only a master can develop such a powerful state, and even many masters cannot reach this level.

At this time, you need to visualize the picture.

The visualization diagram is at least created by a great master who has a deep understanding of the momentum and has visualized this momentum in a painting.

Grand masters are not necessarily painters, so the visualization diagrams are not necessarily good paintings, and may even look like children's graffiti, but the martial arts realm contained in them is real and is the ladder that allows the grand masters to comprehend the momentum.

The appearance of the visualization diagram also gave the warriors in the Body Tempering Realm a chance to comprehend the momentum.

There are even rumors that if one can comprehend the potential in the Body Tempering Realm, then entering the Grandmaster Realm will be a smooth journey!
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand the enthusiasm of these people in the field at this time.

"I guess I don't need to explain the value of the visualization map, right?"

The auctioneer had a confident and elegant smile on her face. In the past, everyone would have been mesmerized by such a smile, but now, everyone was staring at the scrolls on the tray behind her.

"The starting price is 500 taels, and each increase in price must not be less than 100 taels."

"Six hundred taels!"

"Eight hundred taels... one thousand taels"

Before he could finish his words, someone already couldn't wait to make a bid.

"Two thousand taels!"

Cao Ze took a few steps forward, and a hoarse voice came out from his cloak, calming the originally boiling scene.

He didn't know the value of the visualization map, but the moment he saw the scroll, he understood that perfectly defeating the sea was not the end!
He saw the possibility of going further in Ji Canghai.

He must get this scroll!
"A friend offered two thousand taels. Is there anyone who offers a higher price?"

The auctioneer looked in the direction of Cao Ze, her beautiful eyes sparkling with ripples and her smile as beautiful as a flower.

The originally bustling auction hall fell silent.

Buyers who can afford several thousand taels of silver all understand the value of the visualization map. It is a treasure that can be passed down as a family inheritance. If one can comprehend a powerful martial art from it, then its value cannot be measured by several thousand taels of silver.

But this is just a visualization picture, and there is no corresponding practice method.

It's not that just anyone can figure out something remarkable from it. Many people have to consider whether they or their family members have the ability to earn thousands of taels of silver from the visualization diagram after spending a huge price to buy it.

The visualization picture is like the Dragon Gate that Cao Ze once jumped over, which is dozens or hundreds of feet above the ground and it is impossible for ordinary people to jump over it.

Grandmaster is possible.

But who can produce a master's power without a complete inheritance? Do you need a visualization picture of unknown origin?
The supporting cultivation techniques are like steps one by one, allowing ordinary people to climb hundreds of feet step by step, and then easily cross the Dragon Gate like crossing steps.

This is also where the four major families in Cape City are powerful, this is inheritance!

The prerequisite for the visualization diagram to become a legacy is that someone first leaps hundreds of feet over the dragon gate, and then turns back to build steps for future generations step by step, or even the great master who drew the visualization diagram personally builds the steps for future generations.

Two thousand taels, to buy a visualization picture that might not be used, was already a price that was enough to make them think carefully.

As for the big shots who don't care about the two thousand taels, they need to accumulate strength for the spiritual weapons in the future and don't want to spend too much on the visualization diagram.

"Two thousand one hundred taels!"

A calm and indifferent voice came from above.

What Cao Ze worried about still happened. There is never a shortage of rich people in this world.

"Three thousand taels!"

But at this time, he can't retreat!

Although he only had two thousand one hundred taels of silver in his pocket, the thirty sets of Yi Jin medicine plasters were considered hard currency and could be used when settling accounts.

Ji Canghai has proved his strength countless times and is worthy of Cao Ze's capture at all costs.

"Three thousand one hundred taels!"

The voice above his head showed no emotion, and the moment Cao Ze called out the price, he raised the price. This time, the hall fell completely silent.

Many people who were originally struggling suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Now, they don’t have to worry anymore.

"Four thousand taels!"

Cao Ze's hoarse voice rang out in the hall. Although he was sweating profusely, his voice was still calm, and there was no sign of any flaws.

Everything he has on his body is only worth three thousand taels of silver now, but Lu Chenan still owes him five hundred taels, so it should not be a problem for him to borrow another five hundred taels from Feng Kuang.

Many people in the field were already looking at Cao Ze.

He raised the price by one thousand taels at a time without blinking an eye. Naturally, everyone was curious about such a wealthy and ruthless person.

These gazes were not all out of curiosity, of course. Cao Ze could sense the hidden malice in them, but he was not worried. He would take a picture of the visualization and leave later. More people here would definitely stay here and wait for the fight for the spiritual weapons.

However, fighting is forbidden in Haishi. With his ability to control water and his water nature, once they enter the water, even a martial artist with refined internal organs can only drink his foot washing water.

"Four thousand one hundred taels!"

However, before Cao Ze could daydream, the voice from above his head came again.

She remained calm and indifferent, as if she was talking casually about four thousand one hundred taels of silver instead of four thousand one hundred taels of stones.

Cao Ze looked up, but unfortunately the voice was right above his head and he couldn't see the owner of the voice.

With a light sigh, Cao Ze said no more.

"Four thousand one hundred taels per time!"

The auctioneer looked at Cao Ze and waited for a moment before bidding again, "Four thousand one hundred taels twice!"

"Four thousand one hundred and two three times, deal!"

The hammer falls and the bidding ends.

dong dong dong...

In the private room on the second floor, a maid opened the door and walked in with a tray. A skinny old man with a mustache also came in. "Congratulations, Master Yue, for taking this visualization picture!"

Yue Lingke didn't say much, and waved her hand to signal the Yue family's steward to settle the money. This time she was not here for fun, so she still didn't bring Hong Xing with her. Yue Lingke's lips curled up slightly, she still remembered Hong Xing's pouting look.

As she spoke, she kept looking at the auction floor without turning her head back.

The last time she was leaving Hai City, she was killed by the Dragon God Temple. She didn't believe that Hai City was colluding with the Dragon God Temple, but she also didn't believe that there was no trick. At least there must be an insider from the Dragon God Temple in Hai City, and naturally they would not be kind to the people in the auction house at this time.

"I wish Master great luck in martial arts!"

The thin old man counted the banknotes, handed the visualization diagram to the steward with a flattering smile on his face, bowed again, and backed out of the box.

Yue Lingke took the scroll from the maid, unfolded it and placed it in front of her eyes. Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of a knife in her eyes.

However, she quickly closed the scroll and was not very interested in the visualization picture.

As the most powerful family in Cape City, the Yue family has a complete inheritance of the Zuoshan Jue, the Hundred Mountains Divine Fist, and the Wind Shadow Step. They are all first-class skills, much stronger than the fragments that are scattered outside.

The reason I took this visualization picture was just because I thought of that boy.

She remembered that the little guy had photographed an incomplete sword technique before. If he could comprehend this visualization picture, he would surely gain something.

"Miss, if we postpone the auction, won't it be too obvious? Will people from the Dragon Temple really come?"

The manager looked at the auction hall below, feeling somewhat nervous. At this moment, a maid had already come up with the finale spiritual weapon.

The spiritual weapon was originally scheduled to be auctioned five days ago, but it was postponed to today. This is obviously a trap. The hook is too direct. How could the people in the Dragon God Temple not see it?

But there was no other way but to postpone it. Their informants in the Dragon God Temple sent news that the priests of the Dragon God Temple were doing business in the deep sea and would not be able to come back in a short time.

If they don't postpone it, no fish will come and their fishing operation will be in vain.

"These are real spiritual soldiers, we are not afraid that they will not come!"

Yue Lingke said with a sneer.

She killed Mo Lin a few months ago, and the Dragon God Temple introduced a new priest, but there was no way to create a matching spiritual weapon for him in a short period of time. A half-step master with spiritual weapons and a half-step master without spiritual weapons are not on the same level, so she is not afraid that the other party will not come.

"I think everyone already knows the items to be auctioned next!"

The auctioneer's face was already flushed with excitement as he introduced the next item.

Auctioning the spiritual weapon, this will be the most glorious moment in her life!
Cao Ze took a look at the spiritual weapon held by the two maids from a distance and found that it was actually a long sword.

This spiritual sword flickers with a faint blue light, as if it contains the deep power of the stars. The blade is slender and smooth, and the lines are elegant and powerful, revealing an indescribable majesty and mystery.

The back of the knife is thick, giving people a feeling of being indestructible, while the blade is extremely sharp, flashing a breathtaking cold light. The blade is covered with complex lines and patterns. These runes appear and disappear from time to time under the moonlight, as if containing some kind of mysterious power.

The handle is carved from rare materials, as smooth as jade, and inlaid with several dazzling gems, each of which emits light of different colors, just like stars in the night sky.

As a fellow knife wielder, Cao Ze was itching to do something, but he turned around and walked out of the auction hall without hesitation.

He could feel that the moment the spiritual weapon came on stage, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall became heated, and the gazes of those people seemed to set the entire space on fire.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

Cao Ze hurried to the dock. While these people were fighting for the spiritual soldiers, he still had plenty of time to evacuate, the farther away the better.

However, as he left the auction hall, many eyes in the hall looked over here.

Some of them looked at the spiritual soldiers on the round table, then looked at the direction Cao Ze left, and finally they stayed in the auction hall.

But many people also left the auction hall.

Although Cao Ze didn't buy anything, the fact that he bid four thousand taels was enough to make them take action.

Although spiritual soldiers are good, they know their own limitations and can use the four thousand taels of silver to do a lot.

After all, this guy hid himself tightly in a black cloak, which showed that he had no confidence in his own strength. Why should a strong man hide his head and show his tail?
Look at those big shots in the box on the second floor. Who would be dressed like this?

Since they are not confident in their own abilities, they don't mind testing it out.

After leaving Haishi Island for a distance, Cao Ze began to use his water control ability to increase his speed.

This trip to Hai City was not completely fruitless. The three new prescriptions for Yi Jin Realm that Su Xiaozhi bought could greatly improve her cultivation. Next time she comes back from the sea, she should be able to break through to the sixth level of Body Tempering.

Suddenly, Cao Ze, who was rowing the boat, frowned and turned back to look in the direction of the sea city.

Is someone chasing him?
Cao Ze soon realized that this is what it means to expose one's wealth. An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.

Rowing hard and using the power of water control, the black-sailed boat shot across the sea in an instant.

Immortals value life, so Cao Ze is unwilling to take action if he can avoid it. Who knows if there are any masters among those chasing him.

As long as you take action, there will always be risks, but if you don't take action, you will always be invincible.

Unfortunately, he overlooked a key issue.

He was rowing a black-sailed boat, while the pursuer was riding a specially modified light boat!
