Tang San's Hidden Weapons, Ning Fengzhi's Interest
"Young friend Lin, thank you for taking care of Ning Rongrong during this time."
Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Lin Qingmo, his tone sincere.
"That girl is wild and spoiled; she must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"Sect Master Ning, you're too kind."
Lin Qingmo smiled and returned the greeting, speaking calmly:
"Ning Rongrong is intelligent and talented. Her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support capabilities are among the best on the continent. She is now an indispensable core support in the Imperial Fighting Team, and everyone takes care of each other."
In short, he gave Ning Rongrong ample face, praised the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and remained neither humble nor arrogant, showing no intention of currying favor.
Ning Fengzhi looked at him, his admiration deepening.
This young man, at such a young age, is not only very strong, but also so adept at handling interpersonal relationships; it's truly rare.
Just as the two were chatting, the auctioneer's voice rang out again from the exhibition platform.
"Next item."
New items were brought to the stage by staff.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze was also drawn to the items on the display stand.
On the display stand, the auctioneer held up a black wooden box, a look of excitement on his face.
The sound traveled throughout the entire venue through the Soul Power.
"Distinguished guests, the next item up for auction is a peculiar weapon, or rather, Hidden Weapon."
"Its name is ' Sand-Shooting Shadow '!"
It is entirely black, with an exquisite design, and looks quite ordinary.
"Distinguished guests, please take a look. This 'Sand-Shooting Shadow is small in size, and most importantly, it can be activated without Soul Power. Even ordinary people without Soul Power can use it!"
"Our tests show that this Hidden Weapon can penetrate a 3-centimeter-thick steel plate within 15 meters!"
"The arrow carries a potent Paralytic Toxin; Soul Master at the Soul Elder level will lose their mobility if hit by it."
"Soul Master at the Soul Ancestor level will also be greatly affected."
"It's absolutely a powerful tool for home, travel, and self-defense."
"The starting bid for this Hidden Weapon is 1000 Gold Soul Coin, and each bid must be at least 100 Gold Soul Coin higher!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a murmur immediately broke out in the audience.
Many people became interested.
It can be activated without the need for Soul Power and can even threaten Soul Master at the Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor levels.
This was a coveted protective treasure for nobles and wealthy merchants.
After all, most of them don't have very high Soul Power.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up as well.
He doesn't need this Hidden Weapon.
Although he possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, he lacks offensive Soul Skill, yet he is still a true Soul Saint.
With his keen eye, he saw the value behind this Hidden Weapon.
A weapon that can be used by ordinary people without the need for Soul Power and that can threaten Soul Master.
If they could be mass-produced and used to arm ordinary people, they would create an extraordinary army!
Without almost any hesitation, Ning Fengzhi raised his bidding paddle.
His tone was firm, and his voice carried clearly throughout the entire venue.
"One Gold Soul Coin."
The moment those words were spoken, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.
It's Sect Master Ning again!
Now, even if someone is interested in this Sand-Shooting Shadow, no one dares to raise the price anymore.
The nobles and wealthy merchants who had been eager to bid just moments before all reluctantly put down their bidding paddles.
Let alone 1000 Gold Soul Coin, they wouldn't dare to compete with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for anything, not even 10 Gold Soul Coin.
The auctioneer was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.
With a fawning smile plastered on his face, he raised the auction gavel high and brought it down heavily.
"1000 Gold Soul Coin, Sold!"
"Congratulations again, Sect Master Ning, on winning this Hidden Weapon!"
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.
In a corner of the auction house, Tang San's eyes, hidden behind his mask, flickered as he looked in Ning Fengzhi's direction.
Without cultivating the Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, he was no match for Lin Qingmo.
After repeated defeats, Tang San turned his attention to the Hidden Weapon he was most familiar with.
If we could forge Hidden Weapon ranked high in the Hundred Interpretations of Hidden Weapons to Hidden Weapons" such as the " Yama's Invitation " and the " Mother-Child Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Gall," we would definitely be able to defeat Lin Qingmo.
However, the materials required for such Hidden Weapon are rare and precious.
With his current financial resources, it is impossible for him to find and buy these materials.
Therefore, he conceived the idea of selling Hidden Weapon.
Seeing that his casually crafted "Sand-Shooting Shadow" could sell for a Gold Soul Coin, Tang San had a plan in mind.
"Perhaps... we can further cooperate with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."
The staff quickly delivered the wooden box Sand-Shooting Shadow to Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi took the wooden box, took out the Sand-Shooting Shadow inside, and examined it carefully, turning it over and over.
As his fingertips traced the intricate patterns on the Hidden Weapon, he couldn't help but sigh repeatedly, his tone full of admiration.
"A masterpiece! Truly a masterpiece!"
"To possess such power without using Soul Power, this mechanism design is truly avant-garde!"
He had seen many Soul Tool and weapons, but he had never seen anything so ingeniously designed.
It can unleash such power without the need for Soul Power.
This design concept is somewhat beyond the Soul Master World.
Xiao Wu glanced at the black iron box in Ning Fengzhi's hand, her face full of suspicion.
She muttered to herself.
"A small tin box costing 1,000 Gold Soul Coin... that's way too expensive!"
In her opinion, this thing was dark and ugly, not even worth as much as the Starlight Sapphire that Ning Rongrong had just bought.
Lin Qingmo stood to the side, watching Ning Fengzhi Sand-Shooting Shadow, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Of course he knew about this Hidden Weapon.
This is Tang San's unique Hidden Weapon, one of the basic Hidden Weapon of the Tang Sect.
In the original novel, Tang San used this Sand-Shooting Shadow to get in touch with Ning Fengzhi.
He turned his head and whispered to Xiao Wu, who was still muttering to herself, "Xiao Wu, take a close look at the structure of this Hidden Weapon and the patterns on it. Does it look familiar?"
"Um?"
Xiao Wu was stunned for a moment.
Upon hearing this, he carefully examined again the intricate patterns of the Sand-Shooting Shadow mechanism and the design of the Hidden Weapon.
After only a few glances, her expression changed drastically.
He suddenly took a step back, as if he had seen something dirty.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with disgust and disdain.
"Tang San?! This belongs to Tang San?!"
She was extremely familiar with Tang San's Hidden Weapon.
The Sand-Shooting Shadow, suggestive patterns on the mechanism are exactly the same as the Hidden Weapon Tang San usually tinkers with!
It definitely belongs to Tang San!
Lin Qingmo nodded slightly.
Xiao Wu's face was full of disgust and loathing.
"Is Tang San at the auction too?"
Her hatred for Tang San was ingrained to the core.
Back in Shrek, Tang San's double standards, selfishness, and sinister nature disgusted her immensely.
Seeing Tang San's things now made her feel uncomfortable all over, and she just wanted to leave immediately.
"Don't rush, the auction is almost over. Let's leave after it's finished."
Lin Qingmo smiled and comforted her, patting the back of her hand.
"Besides, even if he were here, what could he do? Could he eat us?"
Ning Rongrong frowned upon hearing the name "Tang San," her face filled with disgust.
"Tang San? He's the one who brought this insidious Hidden Weapon to auction?"
Her conflict with Tang San was the least significant when she was at Shrek.
But she's also the one who can't stand Tang San's double standards the most.
Zhu Zhuqing said coldly, "Hidden Weapon, Tang San uses them frequently."
