As soon as the words were spoken, the person in charge immediately felt a pang of regret.
With everyone staring at him, he quickly cursed himself for being so foolish as to bring up a mere beginner's sword manual, and hurriedly tried to salvage the situation.
"However, that sword manual is probably not of high grade. It was put up for auction by an unfamiliar sword cultivator, who claimed that he created it himself."
"Created personally?"
Bikong frowned involuntarily.
Even though he is now close to condensing his Sword Domain, he does not dare to easily write down his sword manual for future Sword Dao, lest he mislead them.
Who would dare to be so arrogant?
Besides, he knew that too.
The Twelve-Story Pavilion wield immense power, and anyone capable of managing an auction is certainly no ordinary person.
Take Si Ming, for example; he has the ability to remember everything he sees.
Since he didn't reveal the person's identity, he must be a stranger, a Rogue Cultivator. Otherwise, what powerful swordsman would come here to sell their hard work?
What can a Rogue Cultivator possibly write?
They even put it up for auction...
Are they really that short of money?
He wasn't the only one who thought this way; others shared similar sentiments.
After the person in charge finished speaking, he felt like slapping himself in the face.
The master of the Twelve-Story Pavilion seemed somewhat puzzled, frowning slightly. "What do you mean by 'shouldn't be high'?"
"Rank and status, and there's such a thing as 'should'? When did such uncertainty appear in my Twelve-Story Pavilion?"
The authentication of auction items must, of course, be accurate.
Probably, should, maybe, how could it possibly appear inside the Twelve-Story Pavilion!
The person in charge hurriedly explained, "It's not our fault. The appraiser in charge of Cultivation Method appraisal failed to break through to the next realm and has already perished. The main building hasn't sent another appraiser. Currently, the appraisal of Cultivation Method is being carried out by the other appraisers in the building. As for this sword manual..."
He hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
He didn't need to finish speaking; everyone else knew what he wanted to say.
Sword manuals are the most difficult to authenticate.
The master of the Twelve-Story Pavilion frowned.
He wouldn't be able to do the identification either.
On the contrary, Bikong, who was standing next to him, was somewhat disdainful and even thought that the person was just trying to attract attention. However, a strange feeling flashed through his mind and made him suddenly speak.
"May I take a look at that sword manual? With my Sword Dao skills, I should be able to help determine my level. You can also show me the other Sword Dao Cultivation Method, but I'm not sure if that would break the rules."
The strictness of the Twelve-Story Pavilion has always been renowned.
Although Bikong was a good friend of the Twelve-Story Pavilion Master, it was precisely because of this that he knew the rules here even better.
The original poster hesitated for only two seconds before shaking their head.
"What's the big deal?"
"Since this sword manual hasn't been appraised yet, you can take a look at it first, just follow the appraisal rules."
The so-called rule for authentication is that you can only look at the first few images.
To prevent others from secretly figuring it out and breaking the rules.
Bikong also knew about this.
Moreover, he hadn't originally planned to watch the whole thing.
No matter what, as fellow practitioners of Sword Dao, he still possessed a degree of pride and self-respect. There was no need for him to look at the insights of others Sword Dao; after all, he was a Rogue Cultivator who, no matter how he thought about it, could possibly surpass him.
Perhaps the insights of others on Sword Dao could offer him some inspiration. After all, their paths may differ, but ultimately they all lead to the same destination. He had no covetous thoughts whatsoever and nodded indifferently.
Then, the person in charge successfully received the sword manual inscribed on the dragon-patterned paper.
What started as a nonchalant attitude took a subtle turn when Bikong Kong saw the sword Sword Intent manual.
As he continued reading, his breathing quickened, and he completely disregarded the presence of others, becoming utterly engrossed in the text. He devoured every passage with insatiable hunger, even disregarding everything else, and exerted all his strength to sense the extremely mysterious sword marks.
shock!
Completely shocking!
Bikong's current mindset is completely different from what it was at the beginning.
His hands were trembling, his eyes fixed on the dragon-patterned paper in his hands. He was both anxious and barely able to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, restraining his impulse as he turned the pages one by one.
However, there are only so many available sources for identification.
Even though he cherished it dearly, he still finished reading it very quickly.
When the unbreakable seal was touched, Bikong went completely mad.
How could that be?
"Where's the sword manual at the end? I want to see the later parts!"
"Damn it! I just saw the most crucial part!!!"
His eyes were almost bloodshot, and he looked like Qi Deviation, which startled the Twelve-Story Pavilion Master.
Could this sword manual be poisoned?
Just as he was hesitating whether to take action against his old friend to bring him to his senses, Bikong pounced on him, grabbing the sleeve of the person in charge next to him like a madman, shouting hoarsely.
Where is he?! Where is that person?!
"How could you leave such a sword manual until the last appraisal, and even say it's of low quality? This is a priceless treasure, a truly priceless treasure! If I had this, I would definitely be able to condense Sword Domain! Where is that senior? Where is he?!"
What?
Before the person in charge could think that Bikong Qi Deviation and was about to attack him, they heard Bikong's words.
He was stunned on the spot.
The others, too, stared in disbelief at the roll of dragon-patterned paper.
The dragon-patterned paper still looked ordinary, but at this moment, in everyone's eyes, it seemed to have been inexplicably covered with a layer of golden light.
The Dragon Pattern Sword Scripture, capable of guiding people to condense Sword Domain?
Doesn't this mean... the person who wrote this sword manual is at least a confirmed expert in the Sword Domain!?
The Twelve-Story Pavilion Master's expression immediately changed, and he raised his hand, sending his Spiritual Power towards the sword scripture in Bikong's hand.
This caught everyone off guard, including Bikong.
When he realized the sword manual was missing, he immediately wanted to lash out.
But when he turned his head and saw that it was the master of the Twelve-Story Pavilion, the anger on his face paused for a moment, but there was still a hint of urgency in his expression.
Although the master of the Twelve-Story Pavilion did not understand Sword Dao, he could tell from just a few glances that this sword manual was truly profound.
He couldn't help but take a deep breath and look at the person in charge.
"Elder Bikong is right, where is that senior?"
Faced with such an intimidating pair of eyes, the person in charge stammered.
"At the time, according to the building's regulations, I informed that senior colleague that an evaluation was required."
"That senior didn't say anything, only that he would come back in a few days..."
As for the number of days, that's unclear.
Upon hearing this, Bikong immediately forgot everything else.
He immediately pounced on the Twelve-Story Pavilion Master's arm, his tone urgent and fervent.
" Chang Mi! You must help me! Lend me Spirit Stone, I know you have some! Also, how about I eat, live, and sleep with you for the next few days? I must wait for that senior!"
"You've helped me, and both I and the Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect owe you a favor!"
That senior, that senior!!
Bikong felt an intense burning desire in his heart.
If he could obtain this sword manual, he couldn't even imagine what kind of Sword Domain expert he would become.
And that senior, that crucial figure, the one who wrote the Sword Manual!
The Cinnabar Cloud Sword Sect is currently beset by internal and external troubles. If they could gain the assistance of such a powerful figure...
Everything will be fine!
