"I'm sure you've heard of this ancient painting quite a few times. It's better known than seen. Good stuff naturally needs to be collected by someone who understands it, so I won't introduce this treasure. Starting price, two hundred thousand. Begin."

The moment the host's voice fell, a few young people raised up their signboard. The prices were too high, but from the looks of their eyes, it was clear that they were doing it for the sake of showing off.

"Five hundred thousand." Jiang Liu'er could see that the Qi flow on the ancient painting was pure, and the brightness was definitely of a high level. It's just that this painting was a 'dead' object.

The so-called 'dead' item was different from the bracelet that he had received before. The bracelet could produce endless streams of air, but the flow of air in this ancient painting was limited.

In other words, even though Jiang Liu'er was curious about the reason for the death of the black aura surrounding the painting, she did not pay much attention to it.

Since the price of the ancient painting had suddenly increased due to the wide range of the river, it would inevitably attract the attention of many people. Even Jiang Liu'er didn't care in the least.

Just as he finished speaking, a deep voice came from the corner.

"One million."

Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but turn her head to look. The light in the corner wasn't very obvious, and with the crowd gathering, he couldn't tell which one of them was the source of the sound.

Just by looking at it like this, Jiang Liu'er felt that something wasn't right. Turning his head, he quietly waited for the host to strike the hammer and take a look at the appearance of the low voice.

A price of one million wasn't cheap for an ancient painting, and those who were knowledgeable in it wouldn't think of it as expensive. However, those who weren't knowledgeable in it only knew how to watch the show.

"Wow, the painting price has already reached one million. It seems like this young man has a good eye. Alright, let's get back to the topic. Is there any higher price?"

The host looked around, seemingly waiting for something. Jiang Liu'er frowned, suddenly feeling that the atmosphere here was a little strange. However, he couldn't tell what exactly was different.

"One million and five hundred thousand."

The voice of a woman was especially eye-catching amongst the men's voices. Jiang Liu'er turned around and easily set her sights on a woman in a low-cut red dress.

The woman's attire had indeed attracted the drooling gazes of quite a few men. Similarly, the piece of white jade in front of Jiang Liu'er's chest had also attracted the attention of Jiang Liu'er.

The woman's body was really hot. The two waves on her chest rippled violently as she breathed. The low-cut dress made the two lumps of hot writing on her chest look so sexy.

In the depths of her neck hung a red thread. At the end of the thread hung a piece of jade that had entered Jiang Liu'er's eyes.

The jade was transparent and had a little bit of skin at the bottom. It was obvious that it was an unprocessed ore at first glance. Although the output was uncertain for a moment, it definitely came from a place like Xinjiang where great treasures were produced.

The transparent jade was at the end of the cleavage, making Jiang Liu'er's eyes a little afraid to look at it. Such a sensitive place like this, swaggering to look at it, was more or less acting like a hoodlum.

"This beauty is truly magnanimous. She's a good painter and a beautiful woman. Good, good, good." Although the host's praise didn't have much value, it made the woman slightly puckered her lips and let out an enchanting smile.

A price of one million and five hundred thousand was more than enough for this painting. Jiang Liu'er couldn't help but take a good look at this woman.

Other than the fact that this unpolished jade was of some value, there was nothing valuable on this woman. She could shout out 1.5 million just like that, or she could be a swindler, playing around, or she could be a truly low-profile person.

"1.5 million going once, 1.5 million going twice."

After a short pause, everyone's breath became heavy, and many people's gazes landed on the sexy woman.

Seemingly accustomed to being the center of attention, the sexy woman raised her head slightly and found a subtle angle to show off her beauty.

"1.5 million going thrice, deal!"

The moment the auctioneer's hammer landed, the entire venue burst into applause. The woman revealed a mysterious smile and reached out to receive the document handed over by the staff member.

Once again, he raised his head and looked seriously at the auction platform. The people watching the commotion were bored and turned their heads to continue caring about the auction.

"Sigh, what a pity …" The old man who had been silent all this while suddenly said something. Jiang Liu'er looked at him and started laughing.

"What's so unfortunate about that? I think that beauty's eyesight is pretty good. This painting can't be considered to have gone to the wrong place, right?"

The old man knew that Jiang Liu'er had good eyes, but what he said was not a pity that Jiang Liu'er understood.

"I'm talking about that woman. It's a pity. One million and five hundred thousand. Although this painting is a good item, isn't this price a bit too expensive?"

Jiang Liu'er shook her head, good things naturally had a high price, what's more, although this ancient painting was a 'dead' painting, it could not produce any more airflow, but to ordinary people, if this painting was placed at home for a while, it would definitely increase in value.

This was the value of this kind of treasure. He believed that this woman would definitely use her own ability to double the value of this painting in a short period of time. At that time, she would be able to earn a fortune.

"You're right." The old man looked a little absent-minded, because his gaze had already landed on a small cart pushed up by a staff member.

The item on the cart was covered with a black cloth. Jiang Liu'er raised her eyebrows and smiled.

The whole auction could be said to be very ordinary. Although all the things that were brought up had some value, none of them could excite Jiang Liu'er. At this moment, the item on the cart made her feel as if her blood was boiling.

This was because around this black cloth, there were wisps of red gas.

"I presume that everyone is doing this for the last item? Since the final treasure has come, then we will not waste any of your time. Please enjoy the appreciation of everyone, we will start the auction after five minutes. "

The host's movements were extremely careful, as if he was treating his beloved girl tenderly. The moment his fingers gently pinched off the black cloth, the entire audience went into an uproar.

Under the black cloth, a slightly silver ancient sword appeared before everyone.

This ancient sword seemed to have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon. Even without the light from the lamps, it always gave off a feeling of luminescence. There was also a layer of silver material surrounding the sword.

"The Heavenly Son Sword."

These three short words seemed to tell the story of Xiang Yu and Wu Jiang killing themselves in history, and everyone's thoughts followed the story back to the chaotic war era.

Only Jiang Liu'er had her eyes fixed on the red snakes surrounding the Skysword Sword.

There were different levels of things in the world, this was the food chain that people were in, not to mention the treasures, the treasures before they met the Heavenly Son Sword, all of them were emitting black gases or fog-like airflows, although they were valuable, they were not as valuable as the Heavenly Son Sword that could emit red light.

Not to mention that around the Heavenly Son Sword, there were also a few red snakes. Although this little snake was not really a snake that could bite, but a state where the red airflow was too dense, the value of this red snake was much higher than the black snakes.

"Phew …" Jiang Liu'er took a deep breath. When she was preparing to absorb the red gas, she hesitated.

When he had just absorbed the black gas, he had fainted because he had absorbed too much in one breath. Although he could not absorb limitlessly without any side effects, it was not uncomfortable to do so for dozens of times in one breath.

As for this red gas, it was incomparable to the black gas, so Jiang Liu'er did not dare to probe. If this red gas that had already traveled through the little snake had side effects that even Xuanyuan Mingxue could not identify, wouldn't he be harming himself?

"What, interested?" Although the silver-haired old man was infatuated with the ancient sword, when he saw the rare look of desire on Jiang Liu'er's face, he also had the thought of helping him take down the ancient sword.

"No." Jiang Liu'er shook her head, but nodded again. This thing wasn't what he wanted, but … " "Yang Xiaodong, this is the most suitable thing for you to gift me."

Yang Xiaodong made a sound of surprise and then focused her attention on the ancient sword that everyone was looking at. Although she didn't know anything about these things, but just from looking at this ancient sword, it seemed to have some kind of ingestion power.

According to her father, this kind of domineering item was suitable for a domineering person. As for Ming Xuan's father, he was naturally a suitable candidate.

"That's it?"

Jiang Liu'er nodded her head, "This sword is so domineering, so of course it's suitable for that overweeningly proud father-in-law of yours, don't you think?"

Yang Xiaodong's heart was filled with gifts. With a "En" sound, she finally reacted. Jiang Liu'er continued arguing with her, and her fist landed on Jiang Liu'er's chest.

"What are you talking about? Who's my father-in-law? I'm just friends with Ming Xuan."

When the silver-haired old man saw the heated exchange of words between the two of them, he quickly reminded them that there shouldn't be any noisy enemies at this kind of occasion.

The two of them immediately quieted down. Within five minutes, Jiang Liu'er had a clear view of these small snakes and understood the significance of their existence.

This sword had been stained with blood before, so it was naturally bloodthirsty. There was a rumor that once something like a knife ate blood, it would fall in love with the blood, which meant that the snake would often 'accidentally' break its own master and cause some wounds to appear.

Although this rumor sounded a little strange, since it had been circulating for such a long time, there must be a reason for it to be retroactive.

Just like the ancient sword whose fame had already spread to this day, the blood on the sword gradually formed these bloodthirsty little snakes after being polished by the sun and moon. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to see these little snakes with their naked eyes, so they naturally wouldn't have any strange feelings towards these little snakes' actions.

Even if these little snakes wanted someone's life, they could have done so.
