Chapter 4619 Mysterious Ancient Bronze Mirror

As Liu Wuxie walked through the bustling streets, he unleashed his divine sense, taking in all the items in the shops on both sides of the street.

Just as my senior brother said, the items in these shops are too ordinary and only suitable for use by those in the Void Saint Realm to Quasi-Saint Realm.

Although Liu Wuxie was still at the Quasi-Saint realm, he could no longer be judged by ordinary standards.

Reaching the semi-saint realm makes it even more difficult to break through cultivation levels with the help of treasures. The items sold in these shops are mainly pills, weapons, talismans, and formations, with the aim of increasing combat power.

After walking for about half an hour, the view ahead suddenly narrowed, and an inconspicuous alley appeared.

"Stop!"

As the two approached, two men in black robes emerged from the shadows and blocked their path.

"This is my token!"

Hua Qiong quickly took out a jet-black token from his pocket and handed it to the man in black robes.

The two men in black robes checked the authenticity of the token and, after confirming there were no problems, allowed them to pass.

As they walked through the narrow alley, Liu Wuxie couldn't help but ask his senior brother curiously, "What was that token just now?"

"This place is called Wushi Alley, and it is only open to those who possess a token. To obtain the Wushi Token, you need to do something for Wushi Alley. Back then, my senior brother also spent a lot of time to complete the task of Wushi Alley and successfully obtain a Wushi Token."

Hua Qiong patiently explained.

Since everything here must be kept in the dark, one must naturally be careful.

Liu Wuxie nodded. It seemed that his senior brother was even more mysterious than he had imagined.

Passing through Wushi Alley, the area suddenly became bustling and prosperous, with a large number of cultivators moving about. This was the real Wushi Alley. It was not very wide, and there were no shops on either side of the street. The cultivators casually placed their goods on the ground for passersby to observe.

"Senior brother, shouldn't we pretend?"

Seeing his senior brother swagger in, Liu Wuxie quickly spoke up.

"No need. Only cultivators holding the Wushi Token are allowed to enter. Every cultivator who obtains the Wushi Token swears an oath with their Dao Heart that they must not reveal the items they purchase from Wushi Alley, or they will be hunted down by all the cultivators in Wushi Alley."

Hua Qiong shook his head.

Since they need to conceal their appearance after entering, there's no need to use the Wushi Decree to restrain others; it's perfectly acceptable to open it to the public.

The two quickly blended into Wushi Alley, moving very slowly. Liu Wuxie would occasionally stop, hoping to find something he liked among the many goods.

Most cultivators who went to the Glorious Auction House were not qualified to compete for those treasures. If they could buy a few good items from other areas, their trip would be worthwhile.

"If you have any unwanted items, you can sell them and exchange them for the resources you want."

After browsing for half an hour without finding anything they liked, Hua Qiong spoke up.

"Not yet!"

Liu Wuxie shook his head. Most of his resources were plundered by the Turbid Dragon Sect, and the rest were given to him by his master. He would not use them easily.

He would only use the resources given to him by his master as a last resort.

Wushi Alley was not as big as I had imagined, but it was packed with thousands of people, almost shoulder to shoulder.

Before they knew it, the two had walked more than halfway when Liu Wuxie suddenly felt a strange aura drawing him in.

"Junior brother, have you discovered any treasure?"

Hua Qiong lowered her voice.

Treasures are believed to possess a spirit; generally, when encountering a suitable treasure, one will have a mysterious connection with it.

Liu Wuxie didn't speak. Following the sensation within his body, he arrived at a corner where there were fewer cultivators. A cultivator dressed in tattered clothes was squatting on the ground with dozens of items scattered in front of him.

However, most of these items are incomplete, which explains why they are placed in this remote corner and hardly any customers visit.

Liu Wuxie looked the ragged cultivator up and down; it didn't seem like he was faking it, but rather that he was genuinely down on his luck.

"One hundred thousand Saintly Mystic Crystals per piece, take it if you like it!"

Upon seeing a guest, the ragged cultivator raised his head, and the moment he saw Liu Wuxie, a glint of light flashed in his turbid eyes.

"One item costs 100,000 Saintly Crystals. No wonder you have no customers. These things of yours have neither spirituality nor fluctuations of the power of rules. They are all inanimate objects. Even if you threw them on the street, no one would pick them up. You really dare to ask for such a price."

Hua Qiong snorted coldly.

He examined the items; they were extremely ordinary, with a very low probability of containing any treasure.

Ten thousand Saint Crystals isn't a lot, but spending so many Saint Crystals to buy a piece of junk would be a disgrace to one's reputation.

"Ten thousand Saintly Crystals, I'll choose two!"

Liu Wuxie didn't rush to make a move, but instead extended one finger and gave him only 10,000 Saint Crystals.

Each breakthrough he made required hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of Saint Profound Crystals. Ten thousand was just a drop in the ocean for him.

Just now, when Ghost Eyes looked at one of the items, a violent fluctuation occurred.

Having been in the industry for so many years, Ghost Eyes has always relied on his own cultivation. This is the first time he has encountered such a situation, with an urgent desire to devour some kind of substance.

"fifty thousand!"

The stall owner backed down, offering 50,000 Saintly Crystals for two items to choose from.

"make a deal!"

Liu Wuxie immediately took out 50,000 Saintly Mystic Crystals and tossed them to the stall owner, then picked up two items from among dozens of items.

One item resembled an ancient bronze mirror. When Ghost Eye looked at this bronze mirror, it caused a violent fluctuation. The other item was more ordinary; it was a fragment. Liu Wuxie mainly used it as a cover.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as Liu Wuxie picked up the bronze mirror, an untimely voice came from behind him.

Liu Wuxie quickly put the bronze mirror into his palm to prevent anyone from getting there first.

"Didn't you hear me? I told you to wait a moment!"

The voice behind him immediately turned displeased, and a violent gust of air swept down on Liu Wuxie.

Hua Qiong, standing to the side, unleashed his semi-saintly power to shield his junior brother from this aura.

"Hua Qiong, it's you!"

The man standing behind Liu Wuxie was so captivated by the bronze mirror in Liu Wuxie's hand that he didn't notice Hua Qiong standing to the side. Only then did he get a clear look at Hua Qiong's face.

“Sun Qing, I didn’t expect to run into you here. My junior brother has already bought these two items. You’re a step too late.”

Hua Qiong stared at the young man in front of her with a smile.

Judging from their ages, Sun Qing and Hua Qiong are similar in age, no more than three hundred years old, and their cultivation levels are comparable, both being top-tier half-saints.

“I’ll offer you a million. Sell these two items to me.”

Sun Qing ignored Hua Qiong and looked at the stall owner, offering one million Saintly Mystic Crystals to buy the bronze mirror from Liu Wuxie.

Upon hearing the word "one million Saint Crystals," the stall owner's eyes gleamed with greed.

He found these junk items in an ancient tomb. The good stuff had already been dug up, and what was left were unwanted junk, costing him nothing.

One item can sell for a million, enough for him to cultivate for a while.

"Big Brother, let's go!"

Liu Wuxie put the bronze mirror into his storage ring without glancing at Sun Qing once. He had already bought the item and there was no need to get entangled with him any further.

"You are Liu Wuxie!"

Liu Wuxie had her back to Sun Qing earlier, so the other party didn't recognize her. But the moment she stood up, he immediately recognized her identity.

"Is something wrong?"

Liu Wuxie said in a sarcastic tone.

The senior brother had just sent him a telepathic message. This person is a disciple of the Nightfall Empire, with a very high status. Although he is not in the first rank, his strength is not to be underestimated and is no less than Hua Qiong's.

"Sell me the bronze mirror!"

With Hua Qiong around, Sun Qing didn't dare to be too presumptuous. In terms of combat power, only the top-tier members of the Nightfall Royal Family were qualified to fight Hua Qiong.

If it really comes down to a fight to the death, he is no match for Hua Qiong.

How many resources are you willing to provide?

Liu Wuxie stared at Sun Qing curiously, wondering if he had also discovered the extraordinary nature of this ancient bronze mirror.

If it weren't for his Ghost Eyes, he wouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual about this bronze mirror.

Since it was Ghost Eye's choice, he naturally wouldn't give up.

"One million Saint Crystals!"

Sun Qing assumed that Liu Wuxie had agreed, so he immediately took out one million Saintly Crystals to buy the bronze mirror from Liu Wuxie.

The events here attracted the attention of other cultivators. Hearing that Liu Wuxie could buy a piece of junk for tens of thousands of Saint Profound Crystals and then resell it for a million Saint Profound Crystals, everyone's curiosity was piqued.

"Do you think this bronze mirror is only worth one million Saint Crystals?"

Liu Wuxie remained smiling and asked Sun Qing a question in return.

"How many Saint Crystals do you want before you sell them to me?"

Sun Qing has a special method that allows him to detect the fluctuations within treasures.

Just now, his intuition told him that the ancient bronze mirror held a great secret, which might come in handy at this splendid auction.

He was determined to buy it no matter what.

"I can sell it to you for 50 billion!"

Liu Wuxie suddenly held up five fingers, wanting the ancient bronze mirror, and demanded 50 billion Saintly Mystic Crystals in return.

"Puff puff!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators erupted in spittle.

Five hundred billion? That's a huge sum. The Nightfall Royal Family's harvest over ten years might not even reach five hundred billion.

For this auction, the major sects have almost exhausted their millennia of accumulated wealth and sold off many of their assets, yet they still only managed to raise a hundred billion or two hundred billion Saint Profound Crystals.

"Liu Wuxie, you've tricked me!"

Sun Qing then realized that Liu Wuxie had been playing a trick on him all along.

"You're the one who asked me to make a price quote. Now that I've made one, you're accusing me of playing you. If you can't afford the price, then I'm not going to play along."

After Liu Wuxie finished speaking, he walked out of Wushi Alley, leaving Sun Qing standing there alone.

"Damn, damn it!"

Sun Qing's face turned ashen as he watched Liu Wuxie disappear.

"Junior brother, is this ancient bronze mirror truly a treasure?"

After leaving Wushi Alley, Hua Qiong asked his junior brother curiously.

"I don't know the specifics either. I'll find a quiet place and study it carefully. Anyway, it only cost 50,000 Saint Crystals, so I'll just consider it a bit of fun."

Liu Wuxie couldn't say for sure whether the ancient bronze mirror had any value.

"Then let's leave the city. There are too many people and too many eyes in the city. Let's find a quiet place to study it carefully."

Hua Qiong immediately spoke up.

The two quickly fled towards the outskirts of the city.

After leaving the city, a vast expanse of yellow sand swept in, leaving the area outside the city desolate, devoid of even plants, let alone monsters.

The two traveled for miles and found a strange mountain range about ten miles from the city. They found a sheltered place where the environment was quite good and they were not affected by the hurricane.

"Junior brother, stay here to meditate. I'll go keep watch for you!"

After Hua Qiong finished speaking, she flew away to avoid disturbing her junior brother.
