The auction continued, and the next items up for bidding were rather rare Ancient Jade Artifacts from various dynasties.

However, many of these Jade Artifacts had been buried in ancient tombs for hundreds or thousands of years, devoid of any Spiritual Energy, instead filled with heavy Yin energy, leaving Qin Yang somewhat uninterested.

"What's the matter? This Chi Dragon Jade Disc currently being auctioned is quite impressive. Are you not interested in these?"

Ruan Xinxue whispered, seeing Qin Yang looking a bit bored.

"It's alright."

Qin Yang chuckled, but his gaze remained somewhat dull as he looked toward the stage.

At that moment, the auction was already halfway through, and the etiquette lady uncovered the red cloth, revealing the next auction item.

Qin Yang gave it a casual glance, and that one glance transformed his previous disinterest into a dazzling glow in his eyes, with a shock deep in his pupils that was hard to believe.

"The next item for auction is a White Jade Flying Saber from the late Shang Dynasty. To be precise, it should be from the late Shang Dynasty. This Jade Blade is entirely white, with a slender and long body, a short hilt, an extremely thin blade, and intricate engravings on its surface. It's extremely well-preserved."

The auctioneer paused at this point, then continued in an even more enthusiastic tone: "Moreover, I must tell everyone that despite enduring over three thousand years, this Jade Blade still retains a certain sharpness!"

At the auctioneer's signal, an etiquette lady took out a sheet of white paper, while another lady with white gloves gently drew the palm-sized White Jade Flying Saber across the page.

The sheet of white paper was instantly cut in two, with one half gently falling to the ground. Its sharpness did not lose to modern fruit knives at all.

"Wow!"

Exclamations filled the venue. After all, an item over three thousand years old, maintaining such a perfect appearance, almost unblemished and still retaining a certain sharpness, was truly rare.

"The ancients were incredible, creating many masterpieces that even we, living in an age of technology, marvel at," Mr. Zhou sighed.

"Indeed, these are the treasures of our Chinese nation. A bronze sword was unearthed from the Warring States period not long ago, having been buried for over two thousand years, yet still remarkably sharp," Mr. Mu agreed.

At this moment, Qin Yang wasn't listening to the two elders' conversation; his gaze was entirely fixed on the White Jade Flying Saber, his heart exceptionally excited.

"This is not an ordinary Jade Blade, but a Treasure, a weapon used by Cultivators!"

Qin Yang's mind nearly shouted.

This thing is from the late Shang Dynasty, precisely during the time of the Martial King and the war against King Zhou of Shang. Heroes like Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, Nezha, Yang Jian appeared. Could it be that Cultivators indeed existed during that era, and this White Jade Flying Saber was someone's weapon?

The more Qin Yang thought about it, the more excited he became, but he still needed to take a closer look.

Qin Yang closed his eyes, slightly parted his lips, and softly chanted a Spell, channeling his Spiritual Power within to converge toward his eyes.

"Celestial Eye Opening!"

Qin Yang silently chanted, and when his black eyes opened again, they were covered with a faint azure sheen.

The azure glow was faint, so much so that an ordinary person would not notice unless they were very close to Qin Yang's face. But it was precisely that layer of azure that endowed his black eyes with a superpower to perceive all things.

Under the azure-glazed eyes, every fiber of the White Jade Flying Saber's engravings became clearly visible, and the entire saber was filled with Spiritual Energy. Moreover, under the Celestial Eye, it could be detected that the White Jade Flying Saber was constantly absorbing the exceedingly thin Spiritual Energy from the surrounding air, slowly but surely.

"No mistake, this is a Treasure, damn it, a Treasure for sure!"

Qin Yang could hardly contain the excitement and thrill in his heart. The complex engravings on the White Jade Flying Saber were not chaotic but were inscribed with a miniature Array.

Such a treasure, I cannot miss!

As Qin Yang withdrew the Celestial Eye, his eyes still brimmed with excitement, scanning the people around him; if not for being in a public hall, he would have rushed onto the stage and taken the White Jade Flying Saber.

"This Jade Blade is a once-in-a-century find; if you want to purchase, be sure to seize the opportunity; let it slip, and you might not encounter such again," the auctioneer passionately stirred the crowd's purchase desire.

"This White Jade Flying Saber from the late Shang Dynasty starts at 4.5 million RMB, with increments not less than 10,000 each time. Now, I declare the auction begin!"

"Four million six hundred thousand..."

"I bid four million seven hundred and fifty thousand..."

"Five million!"

"Okay, Mr. Number 55 bids five million; we now have five million. Oh, Mr. Number 37 bids five million three hundred thousand..."

"..."

The contest over the White Jade Flying Saber was intense, the price steadily rising. At this rate, breaking ten million might not be difficult.

Qin Yang exhaled lightly, turning to Ruan Xinxue beside him, who was silently listening to the bidding. As a girl, naturally, she wouldn't be interested in the Flying Saber.

"Sister Ruan, do me a favor," Qin Yang spoke with a touch of solemnity.

"Hmm?"

Ruan Xinxue turned her head.

"I want this White Jade Flying Saber, help me buy it. I don't have the money right now, but I will definitely repay you later," Qin Yang said earnestly.

Ruan Xinxue was slightly stunned; it was her first time hearing Qin Yang speak to her with such solemn seriousness.

The young man before her, right at arm's reach, she could see her reflection in those clear eyes, filled with determination and resolve.

"Alright."

Ruan Xinxue nodded. Though not understanding why Qin Yang, previously uninterested in Ancient Jade Artifacts, suddenly cared so much for this White Jade Flying Saber, she already considered Qin Yang a friend in her heart, so there was no hesitation; she agreed.

"Seven million three hundred thirty thousand..."

"I bid seven million three hundred sixty thousand..."

"..."

The auction continued, still drawing interest from many in the venue toward the White Jade Flying Saber.

"Ten million!"

Ruan Xinxue raised her number plate, directly raising the price to ten million.

Her voice wasn't loud, yet the entire venue quieted for a moment; even as someone often not participating, the goddess Ruan began bidding, and her first offer was a straight ten million.

"That lovely lady number 7 bids ten million, indeed an astonishing figure; do we have a higher offer?" the auctioneer loudly announced.

"Interesting."

Yang Buqun looked over toward Ruan Xinxue, lightly tapping the solid wood table with his fingers; since you like it, I won't let you have your way.
