220 – Auctioning Warrior’s Edges
The military standard, fine steel sword was of excellent quality, it was much better than scimitars and swords used by many adventurers. The quality of military weapons had always been far superior to that of civilian weapons.
“This is an enchanted sword forged by me! Try it out, Jim!” Yang Feng flipped his hand and a sword with a slander blade and carved with mysterious runes appeared in his hand. He turned the sword, sandwiched it between 2 fingers, and handed it to Jim.
Jim took the sword and waved it slightly.
A pale green magic radiance and a pale red magic radiance blessed Jim. He felt light as well as sensed a great amount of strength surge inside him, making him reveal a look of delight: “This is really a magic weapon! It blessed me with two spells, which increased my agility and strength.”
The merchants of the two empires had their eyes turn red and flash with avarice as they stared at the magic sword in Jim’s hand.
On the Feisuo Plane, due to the Weave, although it was easier to cast spells, but it was dozens of times more difficult to search for the source of magic than on other planes. Apart from the Weave Holy Order as well as a few wizard organizations with ancient inheritances, there were practically no Alchemists. There were very few magic items.
The magic sword in Jim’s hand could be sold for a sky-high price if it was put up for auction.
Yang Feng said indifferently, “Regy, qi!”
The warrior, Regy, stimulated his qi and poured it into the standard sword in his hand. The standard sword burst out with qi radiance.
According to the understanding of Warlocks, qi cultivated in the Feisuo Plane was a kind of powerful life force, which could be used to strengthen various weapons and armor.
Yang Feng said with a smile: “Jim, slash down with the sword at the sword tip. Then let the others test the sharpness of the sword.”
Jim slashed down with the magic sword, which contained a dozen grams of divine blood iron, at the sword tip of the Morrince Empire’s military standard sword and easily sliced through the fine steel sword blessed with qi.
Seeing this, the merchants sucked in a breath of cold air. They were shocked by the sharpness of the magic sword. Magic swords were just swords that could be blessed with magic, they weren’t necessarily that sharp. Now, however, this magic sword could already be regarded as a peerless sword capable of slicing through steel as if butter without being blessed with magic. And it could still be blessed with magic. It was simply a heaven-defying sword. The magic swords collected by many greater aristocrats weren’t at this level.
Jim fiddled with the sword, not wanting to part with it. He said with delight: “Such a good and sharp sword!!”
“Jim, step aside!! I want to have a try!” Randy impatiently pushed Jim away, took the magic sword from Jim’s hand, and slashed at the fine steel sword strengthened by Regy’s qi.
Ding! With a brittle sound, the fine steel sword in Regy’s hand had a chunk of it sliced off.
Randy's eyes showed excitement: “What a good sword! A peerless sword indeed!!”
Tony’s eyes lit up and he grabbed the magic sword: “It’s my turn!”
The 10 merchants took turns trying the magic sword out. They were all praise. Even though the magic sword could no longer be blessed by magic by the fifth person, but they were still very satisfied with its performance. This sword, which could be blessed by 8 level-0 spells per day and was very sharp, was definitely a rare treasure.
“I named this sword the warrior’s edge! Every year, at this time, I will hold an auction to auction 5 such swords here. If you’re interested, you can come to the auction at this time of the year.”
Yang Feng smiled, flipped his hand, and 5 warrior’s edges appeared in his hand.
Smiling, Lina walked over, took the 5 warrior’s edges sheathed in delicate scabbards, handed 4 to the maid behind her, then looked around and said: “I am Lina, the manager of internal affairs of the Miracle City. Now, I am a guest auctioneer, as well. The minimum bid for this warrior’s edge is at 100,000 gold coins, for a 1,000 gold coins bid increment. The auction starts now.”
“150,000 gold coins!”
Lina’s words had just fallen, when Jim impatiently opened with a high bid.
Hearing the sky-high price, the venue turned silent for a while.
At the time, Yang Feng bought several hundred slaves for only tens of thousand gold coins in the slave market. Jim, for the sake of this magic sword, opened with the sky-high bid of 150,000 gold coins and shocked everyone.
A middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire said dully, “300,000 gold coins!”
Everyone present was shocked when they heard that and the venue turned silent.
Lina said with a smile: “300,000 gold coins. Going once, going twice, sold. This magic sword is now yours.”
Everyone’s gazes, brimming with complicated emotions, focused on the middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire. 300,000 gold coins was not a small amount. For that middle-aged merchant to calmly take out such a sum of money, he had to be from an extremely large merchant group.
Lina smiled and said, “We are going to auction now the second warrior’s edge! The auction rules are the same as before! Start now!”
“110,000 gold coins!”

“120,000 gold coins!”
“…”
Even as people made their bids, the middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire still said indifferently, “300,000 gold coins!”
The entire venue turned silent again. Complicated and hateful gazes focused on the middle-aged merchant.
Lina smiled and said, “300,000 gold coins. Going once, going twice, sold. This magic sword is now yours.”
Lina said with a smile: “We are going to auction now the third warrior’s edge! The auction rules are the same as before! Start now!”
“300,000 gold coins!” Lina's words just fell, when the middle-aged merchant opened his mouth and silenced the merchants who wanted to make their bids.
Jim hesitated. Then, his gaze fell on the 2 remaining magic swords, he clenched his teeth, and placed his bid: “310,000 gold coins!”
“320,000 gold coins!”
“330,000 gold coins!”
“…”
The atmosphere in the venue seemed to have been kindled and the bids kept climbing before reaching 500,000 gold coins. The magic sword was bought by a merchant from the Titan Empire.
The corners of Lina’s mouth raised slightly and she revealed a genuine smile, saying: “We are going to auction now the fourth warrior’s edge! The auction rules are the same as before! Start now!”
The middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire made an astonishingly high bid in an attempt to deter the rest: “400,000 gold coins!”
“410,000 gold coins!”
“420,000 gold coins!”
“…”
The bids kept climbing. Without stopping, the bids exceeded 500,000 gold coins and reached 610,000 gold coins. With bloodshot eyes, Jim snatched the warrior’s edge.
The corners of Lina’s mouth raised and she revealed a genuine smile, saying: “We are going to auction now the last warrior’s edge! The auction rules are the same as before! Start now!”
A merchant from the Titan Empire, his eyes bloodshot, made an opening bid: “600,000 gold coins!”
This extremely sharp magic sword was very suited for the market if the warlike Titan Empire. There, many greater aristocrats were fond of collecting such peerless swords. If you came across a bigwig who liked this sword, then getting 1 million gold coins for wouldn't be uncommon.
Although the poor in the Feisuo Plane were very poor, but the greater aristocrats of the empires could even afford to keep tens-of-thousand-strong private troops. These peak greater aristocrats didn’t lack money. With such a peerless sword, it was possible for those aristocrats to recruit a peak expert like a Sky Knight or a Firmament Knight.
Randy said with red eyes: “610,000 gold coins!”
Tony, as if a cornered beast, bellowed: “650,000 gold coins!”
“700,000 gold coins!!”
“…”
The bidding for the last warrior’s edge was very intense. Finally, it was purchased for a sky-high price of 800,000 gold coins by a merchant from the Titan Empire.
At this time, gazes brimming with admiration focused on the middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire. The middle-aged merchant had a very unique vision. At the beginning, he used, what seemed to be sky-high bids in the eyes of the other merchants, to get 2 magic swords. Now it seemed that the middle-aged merchant from the Titan Empire made a huge profit, which was nearly double that of others.
Lina smiled and said: “Master Ian is also a Pharmacist capable of refining a variety of potions. When you come next year, you should be able to purchase a variety of miraculous potions at the auction. I think that you won’t be disappointed.”
“A Pharmacist!!”
Hearing this, the merchants sucked in a breath of cold air and looked at Yang Feng as if he was a gold mine distributing glimmers of gold coins.
Pharmacology was a branch of magic. On the Feisuo Plane, because Wizards forgot the spells they learned the day before, they had to learn the spells over and over again, which wasted a lot of time. Therefore, the number of Wizards who delved into pharmacology was very small.
Potions had mystical powers. They could either remove a variety of curses, curse others, dispel strange poisons that even divine spells found difficult to dispel, make people recover their youth for a short time, or restore people’s energy. Each potion was a rare treasure. Generally, only the royal families of empires and some greater aristocrats had some potions.
Just a single type of potion could make the Miracle City in the Red Earth Wasteland a holy place in many people’s minds, to where people would flock over from far and wide.
