Chapter 026 Casting the Sword Gate, Ye Ming!(1/2)
Ye Ming was not interested in this verbal confrontation between Tan Jiping and Luyang.
After asking the old man to reserve an auction seat for himself, Ye Ming strode away from the Sichuan Palace Chamber of Commerce.
"Huh? That boy seems to be a disciple of the Sword Forging Sect?"
When Ye Ming left, Tan Jiping glanced at the green small sword logo on the corner of Ye Ming's clothes and was a little stunned. Ye Ming was taken to the sword-making peak by the Dan Sword King, but he didn't bring any clothes at all. This time he went out to practice, so he brought a few coarse cloth robes from the Zaxue Sect, and the green small sword logo on the corners of the clothes were embroidered with the sword-making gate.
"The outer disciple of the sword forest is about to break into the sword forest. It is normal for the sword-making disciple of the sword-making disciple to come to the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce to buy some things and prepare for breaking into the sword forest!"
Luyang next to him smiled indifferently.
"Tan Jiping, people don't need your permission to buy items here, right?"
Luyang said.
"snort!"
Tan Jiping snorted coldly and said nothing.
In his opinion, Ye Ming seemed not very strong, and he could only have six levels of body tempering. Even if he came here to buy elixirs and weapons, and was preparing to select disciples from the outer sect of the Sword Casting Sect in two months, it would not pose any threat to him.
Neither Tan Jiping nor Luyang took Ye Ming seriously.

"The auction will be held ten days later. Let's find an inn to stay in and then go to the ten days of retreat!"
After leaving the Sichuan Prefecture Chamber of Commerce, Ye Ming did not leave Sichuan City, but planned to find an inn to stay in first.
Although Sichuan City is the first city in Sichuan Mansion, the price of ordinary inns is not expensive. Ye Ming does not lack the money for staying in the hotel, so he simply found a clean inn nearby to stay in, and was in a retreat in this inn, waiting for the Sichuan Mansion Chamber of Commerce auction in ten days.
In addition to resting and eating every day, Ye Ming always practices his internal strength in the room.
The internal ice energy in your body can automatically operate.
Ye Ming simply bought some books about martial arts common sense, and the internal energy of the ice in his body automatically operated, so Ye Ming read the book and passed the time. Ten days passed quickly.
"This morning, the auction of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce will be held!"
Early in the morning, Ye Ming left the inn and walked towards the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce.
After ten days of meditating in the inn, although Ye Ming had no progress in swordsmanship, the cold energy in his body automatically operated, which was equivalent to practicing the middle-grade internal strength of the human level. In ten days, Ye Ming's body and internal strength increased significantly!
The physical strength has been increased to 700 kilograms!
Step into the seventh layer of body quenching!
The total amount of internal strength also reaches the level of 343 jin. The total strength exceeds a thousand jin!
"I have less than two months left to break into the sword forest. In these two months, even if I cannot reach the ninth level of body quenching, I can reach the eighth level of body quenching, and have 860 or 70 kilograms of body strength. The internal strength exceeds 450 kilograms, so it should be no problem!" Ye Ming said in his heart.
Thinking of this in his mind, Ye Ming walked into the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce. After explaining his purpose, a special person took Ye Ming to a wide hall opened separately, which was obviously the auction hall.
The auction hall is about 40 or 50 feet wide. There are hundreds of seats in the hall, and there are twenty separate small private rooms. At this moment, the hall is sparse and forty or fifty people are sitting.
"Chuan Mansion is located at the westernmost part of the Dachen Empire, with a remote area. Going westward, there is a vast land with sparse population. The population of Sichuan Mansion is not very large, and the auction in Sichuan City is not very popular."
Ye Ming found his seat and sat down, then closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the auction to begin.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Now, the auction has begun!"
After waiting for a while, a middle-aged auctioneer in his forties appeared in the hall.
There wasn't much nonsense, just start the auction.
"This is a bottle of 'Lotus Pill', which is a low-grade healing pill for human grade. It is mainly used to treat internal injuries. There are a total of twenty pills per bottle, and the starting price is thirty taels of gold!" The auctioneer first took out a bottle of elixir.
"Liansheng Pill?"
"I have found some of them from Wang Zizhao and the other two before. The effect of the medicine is far worse than the elixirs given to me by the master!"
Ye Ming's brows moved, and he didn't even bother to open his eyes.
Master Ye Ming’s name as the Dan Sword King was not given for free. He had excellent sword skills and had extremely high attainments in alchemy. He could refine some elixirs several times stronger than the Liansheng Pill.
"Forty taels!"
"Fifty taels!"
...
Although Ye Ming disdains this Liansheng Pill, it does not mean that others will ignore Liansheng Pill. Liansheng Pill is indeed the best healing pill at the body tempering level.
"Seventy taels!" A cold voice came from a private room.
"It's Tan Jiping!" Ye Ming immediately recognized Tan Jiping's voice and bid for 70 taels.
After Tan Jiping made a bid, the others immediately stopped bidding.
"Seventy taels are already more than the actual value of this bottle of Lotus Pill. The one who bids Tan Jiping is the first disciple of the outer sect of the Sword Crown Sect. He bought the Lotus Pill at a high price to prepare for the disciples of the Outer sect of the Sword Crown Sect to enter the sword forest. We don't need this Lotus Pill for the time being, and we don't need to compete with him!"
"Give this Liansheng Pill to him!"
The others also knew Tan Jiping's identity. Tan Jiping bought the Liansheng Pill at a high price, and they were too lazy to compete with Tan Jiping.
"Seventy taels of gold, this bottle of Lotus Pill belongs to this young man in the box No. 7!" the middle-aged auctioneer announced loudly. Immediately afterwards, the auctioneer took out another herb: "This is Cordyceps, which is the best medicinal material to nourish and nourish yang. It is also necessary to refine some elixirs, so there is no need to say more about the efficacy. There are 80 Cordyceps, and the starting price is forty taels of gold."
The auction of the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce is not only aimed at warriors, but also at ordinary people and wealthy businesses.
The items auctioned are also diverse, including elixirs, herbs, strange ores, and even treasured wines, jewelry and jade.
Ye Ming naturally was not interested in these things at all.
"This long sword was created by our Sichuan Palace sword-making master. It weighs 132 kilograms and is extremely hard. It is a low-grade weapon. The starting price is 60 taels of gold!"
After auctioning some debris in succession, the auctioneer took out a long sword.
"sword?"
Ye Ming's eyes suddenly opened.
However, after looking at the long sword, Ye Ming frowned again.
"It's a heavy sword, not suitable for me."
The long sword is a black iron heavy sword, weighing 132 kilograms, suitable for warriors with a wide-ranging sword style, and is extremely incompatible with Ye Ming's snake-moving sword technique.
"Eighty taels!"
"One hundred taels!"
"One Hundred and Twenty Taw!"
"One hundred and fifty taels!"
Gradually, there was only a cold voice and a cheerful voice competing for competition. Ye Ming could hear that one was Tan Jiping and the other was another powerful external disciple of the Zhujian Sect - Luyang.
"One Hundred and Eighty-Five Taxes!" Luyang's last bid, Tan Jiping did not follow the price.
"Hahaha, this black iron heavy sword belongs to me, Luyang!" Luyang is good at internal strength, so it is indeed suitable for using the black iron heavy sword.
"Hmph, I already have one of the low-grade swords, so I'll give it to you. This heavy sword does not match my style. My goal is a medium-grade sword!" Tan Jiping snorted coldly and said. He raised the price with Luyang just now, not to compete for the black iron heavy sword, but to just raise the price and disgusting Luyang.
Luyang didn't care either. He bought a heavy sword that suited him by 185 taels of gold. For him, the price was not expensive.
Next, the auctioneer auctioned off some things that had nothing to do with the warrior.
It was almost noon, and the last final auction item was about to appear!
"Everyone!"
The auctioneer coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention.
"A month ago, an old man sold a long sword at the Chamber of Commerce of Sichuan Province. It was three feet and three inches long, one inch wide, and weighed 37 kilograms. It was made of stainless steel. It was identified by our Chamber of Commerce of Sichuan Province. It was a medium-grade sword!" The auctioneer said, taking out a quaint long sword. "This long sword starts at a price of 300 taels of gold, and each increase is no less than ten taels of gold!"
"Mid-grade long sword?" As soon as the auctioneer said, it immediately attracted the attention of most people present.
"The long sword weighing 37 kilograms, made of stainless steel? It belongs to the thin sword, and it just happens to be suitable for me to use!"
Tan Jiping's eyes were bright.
The 37-pound long sword is not light, but because it is made of stainless steel, it is not thick and not a heavy sword, which is just right for Tan Jiping to use. Tan Jiping is almost determined to win this long sword!
"Good guy, I finally waited for a medium-grade long sword!"
In a private room, an old man in his fifties, with a white face and no beard, staring at the sword with his eyes tightly on it.
The old man's voice was hoarse and said to himself: "I, the elder of the Wang family's outer sect of Wang Hainaichuan City, has reached the eighth level of body tempering, and can no longer advance, can no longer enter the Qi refining level, and become a core member of the Wang family. I have limited talent and cannot practice and improve, and can only improve my combat power through external objects. If I can get this long sword, my combat power can be increased by at least 20%! Even if I still cannot become a core member, my status in the Wang family's outer sect will be greatly improved!"
"This long sword is mine!" The old man, Wang Hai, thought to himself.
"Three hundred and fifty taels!"
With almost no hesitation, Wang Hai offered a price.
"Three hundred and seventy taels!"
"Three Hundred and Ninety Talls!"
"Four hundred taels!"
After Wang Hai made a bid, Tan Jiping and other sword-wielding warriors all made bids.
The price of this long sword is rising steadily.
