Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son - Chapter 1141

Chapter 1141: Heavenly Jade Brush

The auction has been ongoing for several hours, with numerous items already sold. However, Zhang Fei [5], his group, and several groups of senior cultivators hadn’t made any bids at all, confusing the bidders.

“Here they come.” Feng Yao muttered softly.

Zhang Fei [5] nodded at her. “All the ordinary items have appeared and sold, so it’s time for Senior Puyang to bring out the main items.”

All the cultivators present were quite powerful, both junior and senior cultivators, so they could hear Zhang Fei [5]’s words. Many people agreed with him, but many others sneered at him and said he was poor, so he assumed the valuable items in their hands were ordinary ones.

Zhang Fei [5] ignored those people and focused on Puyang Shangren, who took out a brush with a handle made of green jade.

“This Heavenly Jade Brush might not be useful for normal cultivators, but it is extremely valuable, and it is an immortal-grade tool used by formation masters. Its body is made of solid dawn jade, and the tip is made from qilin hair, allowing precise control of qi flow. Unlike ordinary brushes, it does not require ink, and array masters can use their Qi to create their arrays. Plus, they don’t need to use talisman paper to create one, and they can draw formation patterns directly onto any surface or even the air.” Zhang Fei [5] was shocked to hear that, but Puyang Shangren’s next words made him smile bitterly. “The starting price of this brush is ten million golden jewels, and each minimum bid is one million golden jewels.”

‘Fuck! Ten million golden jewels just for one brush!’ Zhang Fei cursed in his heart.

“Array masters who want to obtain this brush can start bidding now.”

“11 million.” Zhang Fei [5] and the others looked at Qi Qingxiu, who had just bid for the brush. She smiled at their reaction and took out her brush. “I’m an array master, and my Moonshadow Brush is too old. Moreover, the Heavenly Jade Brush is much better than mine, so it’s only natural that I bid on it, right?”

Everyone just nodded to Qu Qingxiu, and then Puyang Shangren immediately asked the group a question. “Is there anyone else?”

“12 million.” Zhang Fei [5] turned to Luo Yunxiao, who winked at him. ‘I know you want the brush, so I’ll help you get it.’

Qi Qingxiu glared fiercely at Luo Yunxiao, but she immediately ignored her and raised the bid. “15 million!”

“20 million!”

“25 million!”

“30 million!” Luo Fenghan and his family smiled wryly as soon as Luo Yunxiao raised her bid, and the look in her eyes clearly showed that she was eager to get the brush for Zhang Fei [5].

Qi Qingxiu frowned at her as her face darkened, and she activated her abilities to control Luo Yunxiao’s emotions. However, she was shocked when her abilities had no effect on the little girl in front of her. ‘How can she be immune to my abilities?’

“Qi Qingxiu.” All the cultivators present gasped in shock as soon as Feng Yao mentioned that name. “Are you surprised that I was able to see through your disguise, the Seven Emotion Demon God? The two women by your side are Nalan Shizhe and Ye Mingran, the Soul-Devouring Demon God and the Eternal Night Demon God.”

The three female demon gods were shocked to hear that, especially since they believed their disguises would be impenetrable, but Feng Yao was able to recognize their identities.

Puyang Shangren, the natives, and the guest cultivators turned their attention to the three female demon gods. The people from the Divine Samsara Sect wanted to make a move against them, but Liang Huizhong immediately stopped them because he would rather not have any trouble with the merchant.

Jian Kuang had already grasped the sword hilt on his back, but Su Shentian hurriedly grabbed his shoulder and shook his head, forcing him to abandon his intention to attack the three female demon gods.

“We—”

*Snap*

As soon as Feng Yao snapped her finger, the three female demon gods’ disguises disappeared and revealed their true forms, shocking them and the audience. ‘How is this possible? How did she dispel our disguises?’

Feng Yao immediately spoke to them again. “There are no rules prohibiting demons from participating in this auction, so I won’t stop you three if you still want to participate and bid on the items. However, I won’t allow you to use your abilities to influence others’ decisions, and I will kill you if any of you dare to do it again, so you must compete with them fairly. Do you guys understand?”

Seeing that the three female demon gods did not immediately answer her master, Huo Ling right away moved behind them. “You guys should listen to my master; otherwise, I will burn your souls in eternal flame, and you guys will never be able to reincarnate.”

‘Crap! This woman is the Eternal Flame.’ The three female demon gods muttered to themselves. “Alright, we’ll compete fairly.”

Huo Ling hurriedly returned to Feng Yao’s side, who immediately spoke to them. “You three better keep your word, or Ling’er will burn your souls.”

Puyang Shangren shook his head with a bitter smile after seeing all this. “Do you still want to bid for the brush, Qi Qingxiu?”

“50 million.”

Puyang Shangren nodded slightly and looked at Luo Yunxiao, who appeared to be in deep thought. “Do you want to give up?”

‘Stop bidding on the brush, Yunxiao.’

Luo Yunxiao did not listen to Zhang Fei [5]. “75 million, Senior.”

The atmosphere fell silent as everyone stared at Luo Yunxiao in confusion, especially since 75 million golden jewels was too much for a brush. ‘Is she a member of a major clan? Why is she so eager to buy the brush at such a high price?’

Zhang Fei [5] sighed helplessly, especially since Luo Yunxiao was unwilling to listen to him. ‘I know you’re rich, but 75 million is too expensive.’

‘It’s okay; I still have more savings than that.’ Luo Yunxiao replied to him with a sweet smile.

Qi Qingxiu was truly irritated by Luo Yunxiao’s behavior, and she really wanted to use her abilities on her, but Feng Yao and Huo Ling kept staring at her. “I give up.”

“Alright,” Puyang Shangren spoke to Luo Yunxiao. “Send me the money.”

Luo Yunxiao took out a storage ring before handing it to Puyang Shangren, who immediately counted the number of golden jewels inside.

After he finished, Puyang Shangren immediately handed the Heavenly Jade Brush to Luo Yunxiao, but she handed it to Zhang Fei [5], causing all of them to look at him with jealousy.

Qi Qingxiu frowned after seeing that, but she said nothing and waited for the next items.

Thereafter, Puyang Shangren started auctioning many other items, but Zhang Fei [5] had no interest in them. Instead, Luo Fenghan participated, bidding on several items that were useful for his two sons and daughter-in-law.

Zhang Fei [5]’s acquaintances were interested in some of those items, but their prices were too high for those from the Three Mortal Realms.

Several hours later, Puyang Shangren had sold many valuable items, and he took the last item, the Sky-Severing Sword. “The name of this sword is the Sky-Severing Sword, and it is rank 4 of the Seven Profound Treasures.”

“What?” All participants exclaimed in shock as they stared at the sword in Puyang Shangren’s hand.

Jian Kuang squeezed the armrests of his chair as he trembled in excitement, amusing Su Shentian by his side. “What should we do to get that sword, Senior?”

“Unlike ordinary divine weapons, this Sky-Severing Sword was not created for defense but for utter destruction. A single slash can rip apart mountains, split rivers, and even tear through the air, leaving hollow scars that take centuries to heal. Legend has it that when its true power is unleashed, this sword can cleave apart the boundaries between realms, opening a rift that leads to the realm beyond.” Jian Kuang couldn’t contain his excitement even more after Puyang Shangren said that. “Owning this sword is not difficult, and you don’t need to waste jewels to purchase it; however, you do need to gain its recognition. However, this sword does not accept a weak user, and it will test its wielder’s determination to defy the heavens. If they have a weak mentality and force themselves to wield it, it will shatter their cultivation, leaving them crippled. Therefore, you guys have to think carefully before deciding to try it, and I will not be responsible if you become crippled.”

All of the participants took a deep breath because the risk was too great, despite the incredible value of the Sky-Severing Sword. Even Jian Kuang, who desperately wanted to obtain the sword, seemed to be struggling to make a decision.

‘What a bunch of cowards!’ They don’t even dare to make a decision!’ Puyang Shangren muttered under his breath before looking at someone walking toward him from Zhang Fei [5]’s entourage. “What’s your name, little boy? Do you really dare to try the test this sword will give you?”

“Senior, my name is Han Ling.” Han Ling then stood before him. “I am a sword cultivator, and the path of the sword is never easy. Even though the risks are great, I will still try.”

Ye Mingran frowned as soon as Hang Lin summoned the Eternal Night Sword, and she quickly moved to his side. “Where did you get this sword?”
