Fang Chen walked to where the crowd had gathered, a strange voice with an odd mix of yin and yang energy arose.Fang Chen's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This voice was incredibly familiar, it was Su Wa..."Mr. Ye, what is this...

"

Wang Lao looked at Ye Chen with a hint of curiosity and asked unconsciously.

When asked, Wang Lao had already given up bidding at the moment he opened his mouth... He still believed in Ye Chen's abilities.

"Wang Lao, since you invited me to give my opinion, I naturally have to help you distinguish the good from the bad!"

Ye Chen said in a flat tone, with a calm expression: "This artifact has a little bit of trickery. Old Wang shouldn't participate in this auction."

Cat burglar

Wang Lao's brow furrowed. He was a shrewd old man, though he was doubtful in his heart, he didn't dare to speak up for fear of angering or contradicting Master Tan.

And Wang Xinyu was the same. After hearing Ye Chen's words, she immediately hung up the phone... Originally, she had been ready to send a text message to the finance department and ask the company's finance department to transfer one billion over first!

'Whew, I bought Mr. Ye's antique last time, it cost me three hundred million!'

Later, at the grandfather's birthday banquet, in gratitude for Mr. Ye's longevity pill, another two hundred million was gifted to Mr. Ye!

'With five hundred million sent out, now even buying a copper gourd requires transferring money from the company's finances... It seems like quite a bit of money has been spent on Mr. Ye recently!'

Wang Xinyu thought silently to herself, her gaze fixed on the bronze gourd in the center of the room. She murmured, 'But what's the secret behind this bronze gourd'

"Little friend, you say this artifact has a hidden agenda"

When Wang Lao stopped the bidding, Zhang Fengnian also frowned. He had been determined to get the bronze gourd! But, this bid was 80 to 90 million... He could grit his teeth and accept spending that much! However, he couldn't accept spending 70 to 80 million for a defective item!

"...".

Ye Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing.

He came here only to assist Wang Lao Zhang's eyes. As for Zhang Fengnian, Ye Chen felt he had no obligation to explain so much to him.

"Hmph, can't even give me a reason"

Seeing this, Master Tan let out a cold snort and said, "I've seen many charlatans like you in the Jianghu! You only know how to stab people in the back. When it comes to sorcery, you only talk nonsense. You can't say anything substantial about real things!"

"Boy, I've been traversing the Cloud Sea City for years, what kind of grand scene haven't I seen... You dare say my magic weapon has foul play"

"Let me ask you, do you understand Feng Shui Do you understand talismans Do you understand the Qi Men Dun Jia Magic arts are not something you can dismiss with a simple phrase about ulterior motives!"

"If you're truly capable, come forward and explain yourself. This old man wants to see just how much you've got!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all eyes turned back to Ye Chen.

Under Master Tan's sharp questioning, everyone once again believed that Master Tan was a truly extraordinary person, while Ye Chen was merely a charlatan who had come here to fool people!

Even Wang Lao and Wang Xinyu's hearts were shaken...

"Brother-in-law!"

Zhang Zixhi said with an anxious tone, "They're all tough to deal with. Maybe we should just leave!"

"Come on! "

Hong Feng let out a cold laugh and said, "Master Tan is my benefactor. Boy, if you can't give me a reason today, do you think you can walk out of this door"

“Kid, boasting has consequences!”

Zhang Fengnian, in order to please Master Tan, also said coldly: "Since you have offended Master Tan, do you just want to leave like this"

“Two people…”

Wang Gang wanted to dissuade him, but Ye Chen had already slowly stood up from the Taishi chair and walked step by step to Master Tan's face, looking at the copper gourd in front of him with a smirk, "Master Tan, is it You really want me to say!”

"Humph!"

Master Tan let out a cold snort, then waved his hand dismissively and said with arms crossed, "Then go on, tell me."

"Good..."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, then slowly picked up the copper gourd, his voice calm and distant: "This copper gourd is indeed a magic weapon from the Maoshan sect, but because it's ancient, the spiritual energy inside has long since dwindled. That's why it looks so worn and broken!"

"But after all, a magic artifact is not an antique... In order to conceal this sense of vicissitudes and cracks, Master Tan applied copper rust onto the surface of this bronze gourd, covering up the cracks on its surface."

As he spoke, Ye Chen picked up a teacup lid from the table. He lightly scraped it against the surface of the bronze gourd.

Then, the mottled rust cascaded down, and the scratched area was instantly covered with a spiderweb-like network of cracks.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Ye Chen continued, "And this copper gourd is long devoid of spiritual energy. The wisps of mist it emitted just now, if I'm not mistaken, should be Master Tan's own blood essence hidden inside the gourd beforehand. When you chanted the incantation just now, on the surface it seemed like you were activating a magic artifact, but in reality, you were burning your own blood essence."

"Master Tan, may I ask, am I wrong"

After finishing his words, Ye Chen placed the copper gourd on the table with a thud. ... Then, countless flakes of rust fell off again, and the copper gourd finally returned to its original form.

Only to see that there were four or five cracks on the surface, one of which had already split open by half a millimeter. It was obvious that this was just a damaged magic artifact.

“This…”

"This artifact is damaged"

"How is that possible"

"Master Tan, what's going on here How can you sell us a broken artifact and then want to sell us another one for 100 million"

Upon seeing this, everyone was indignant and glared at Master Tan with fury in their eyes!

Although they didn't understand magic, each one of them was a wealthy heir worth billions. Though they respected Master Tan, a highly skilled sorcerer like him, after being deceived, they naturally wouldn't swallow their anger silently.

Faced with a series of questions, Master Tan's complexion has changed.

Then he stared at Ye Chen with sinister eyes, and said fiercely: "Boy, you dare to ruin my good deeds!! Today, I will definitely dismember you into ten thousand pieces!!"

As he spoke, he pulled another magic artifact from his bosom.

It turned out to be a black octagonal plate.

Master Tan took out the black Bagua disk, and his aura changed drastically. He shouted fiercely, "Since you understand magic weapons, come and try my Yin Soul Bagua Disk!!"

After he finished speaking, Master Tan formed his hands into seals again and began to mutter words under his breath.

As his incantation took hold, a fierce gale suddenly swept through the house. Black mist billowed from the Bagua Plate, coalescing into a skeletal visage. The skull let out a chilling howl and its empty sockets fixed on Ye Chen, waiting for Master Tan's command to charge and tear him limb from limb!

"This...is this a ghost"

"To have such skill, this Master Tan is truly amazing!!"

"Mr. Ye, run away quickly!!"

Seeing this scene, everyone was so frightened that their legs went weak. They thought Ye Chen was finished, and Xia Qingyue's legs even went weak, almost sliding off her seat. "Brother-in-law, you, you run away quickly, brother-in-law!!!"ings to do, so I won't bother you."When he first arrived, he was not willing to have too much contact with too many people."This can't be right, Daoist friend, please save my little girl. No matter wh...
