Chapter 1971: 814. Heaven-Shaking Bow, Han Muye makes his move_2
“Furthermore, such a gesture would never be directly accepted by the Shangguan Family.”
Sure enough, Shangguan Hong of the Shangguan Family raised his hand, and a jade box flew out.
“Young Master Lu’s gift has been received by my niece Yuqin; this is the return gift from our Shangguan Family.”
The return gift.
Invariably, a return gift can never be of lesser value than the gift received.
Contained within this jade box must certainly be a treasure worth no less than the White Tiger.
Lu Zixu reached out to catch it, lifted the lid, and his mouth twitched.
“Spiritual materials and vouchers worth one hundred and fifty billion origin coins, indeed befitting the Shangguan Family.”
The amount was not excessive, but it was substantial.
It accepted the favor from the Lu family without causing Lu Zixu to suffer a significant loss.
“Brother Lu, truly clever,” said Li Changyun with a smile on his face after observing the whole process.
This Little Tiger that remained in Lu Zixu’s hands was like a Gold-swallowing Beast and a hot potato at the same time.
For instance, Master Guo would think of buying it, and many others would want to observe it.
Though it might foster relations with quite a few people by virtue of this object, the troubles were far greater. It was better to simply give it to the Shangguan Family.
The Shangguan Family, being among the Top Three Families and the recipient of the gift, would make it absolutely embarrassing for outsiders without a close relationship to ask to observe it.
Now good, the object was sent to the Shangguan Family, the hassle was tossed aside, a favor from the Shangguan Family was gained in exchange, and they would even take care of the little creature.
The Shangguan Family would certainly research the item and subsequently look for ways to nurture it.
Crucially, once Shangguan Yuqin was married into the Lu family and became Dao companions with Lu Zixu, this item would surely be brought as part of the dowry.
At this moment, Li Changyun also felt that Lu Zixu, though seemingly reckless in his actions, had brilliantly calculative strategy.
Whether sold, handed over to the family, or personally kept, the Little Tiger was absolutely not as cost-effective as giving it away to the Shangguan Family.
By then, not only Li Changyun but also others in the pavilion, as well as many treasure appraisal masters, had discerned the ingenuity behind Lu Zixu’s offering of the White Tiger.
Not just this move, but also during the treasure opening, smashing nearly one hundred billion.
That was not something a common person would dare to wager on.
Daring to bet, daring to give away. That was the spirit and vision.
Upon looking at Lu Zixu’s pavilion again, many had changed their opinions.
This Lu Zixu appeared not as impulsive as previously thought, but rather, his actions were exceedingly superior.
Just this gesture of tossing out one hundred billion showed a grandeur unmatched by ordinary folks.
The treasure identification conference resumed, and various treasures were presented on stage.
Having already earned a fortune, Lu Zixu was thoroughly satisfied and uninterested in those treasures.
Having earned one hundred billion, offers of a few million or tens of millions of origin coins seemed dull by comparison, nearly yawning in boredom.
The treasures below occasionally lit up, but the instances were quite limited.
More often, after the treasure opening, they came away empty-handed, revealing only loneliness.
Especially since Lu Zixu had earned one hundred billion in two consecutive events, the atmosphere at the treasure identification conference erupted.
The bidding from all quarters gradually became emotionally charged and gambled.
As a result, the smile on Lu Dongju’s face grew even brighter.
Those treasure appraisal masters were also making a lot by giving consultations and opinions round after round.
Guo Jintang’s face was so alight with joy that it was wrinkle-free.
Various treasures kept being presented and unveiled, with exclamations of amazement and laughter circulating throughout the venue.
The treasure identification conference lasted a total of ten days and nights without rest.
For those participating, ten days felt no different from ten years or a hundred years.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In these ten days, Guo Jintang identified several treasures valued over five hundred million each.
The other two masters also showcased excellent performance.
Of course, this also owed to the genuine treasures that the Lu family’s Yuntang Treasure Pavilion had placed at the treasure identification conference.
Although besides Lu Zixu’s Little White Tiger and the Yutang Golden Marrow the rest were not considered supreme treasures, items worth a hundred million or several tens of millions of origin coins still counted as treasures.
“If only we knew Master Han would be around, our Lu family would have definitely brought out some presentable treasures,” said an elder named Lu Linyu in the Lu family council hall, where several ancestors and the family head Lu Chengyue were seated.
Elder Lu Linyu, who now wielded a War Beast reassembled by Han Muye, ranked among the forefront in the Lu family and was a top-notch figure within the divine realm.
Without Han Muye’s intervention in reassembling the War Beast, giving the Lu family additional ones, he would not have had one at his disposal.
Therefore, Elder Lu Linyu naturally felt favorably inclined toward Han Muye.
“Inserting it now would be seen as an afterthought,” Lu Chengyue shook his head with a hint of regret.
Having Master Han identify a treasure and acquire it smoothly would have been a discreet way to favor him.
Offering it one way is fine, but the recipient may not appreciate it.
“This Master Han’s insight is likely far superior to that of Guo Jintang,” said the elder named Lu Julin, who had once fought side by side with Han Muye on the Giant Beam Continent, with a smile on his face and speaking softly.
The Treasure Opening Method for the White Tiger Battle Saber was undoubtedly Han Muye’s handiwork.
Otherwise, Lu Zixu would not dare to wager his entire fortune.
“Buzz”
A soft sound rang out, and a beam of Flowing Light landed in front of Lu Chengyue.
Lu Chengyue reached out to activate it, with an odd expression crossing his face.
“Master Han has made a move.”
By now, the Treasure Identification Conference was drawing to a close.
Many people in the venue had lost much of their interest.
However, the current standoff in bidding on the stage brought smiles to everyone’s faces.
In the pavilion of the Lu family, where a blacksmith had yet to make a move, now offered a price, countering the person from the Furnace Platform Hall who came with Sun Meng from the Sun family.
On stage was a gray-black long curved bow, about three zhang in length; it seemed to be a bow from ancient legacies.
Nevertheless, since ancient times, the Galaxy Universe hadn’t heard of any major sect possessing such treasured weapons like bows, nor had there been any inheritance of archery amongst them.
Considering this, the item was unlikely to be anything particularly precious.
At this moment, the bid from the black-robed senior brother of the Furnace Platform Hall had climbed from thirty million all the way to three hundred million.
And in the pavilion of Lu Zixu, the offer continued to rise.
Sun Meng gnashed his teeth, his fists clenched tightly.
The black-robed senior brother beside him was deeply furrowed in thought.
“Is this truly the Heaven-Shaking Bow mentioned in the secret scriptures of the Furnace Platform Hall, capable of piercing the heavens with a single arrow?”
Sun Meng whispered in a low voice, looking towards the black-robed senior brother.
The black-robed senior brother nodded, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, “Looking at its form, it certainly resembles it, but although there were not many ancient bows, we can’t be sure this is the Heaven-Shaking supreme treasure.”
Could it really be such a coincidence?
The secret scriptures of the Furnace Platform Hall recorded that there were seven supreme treasures from ancient times, each capable of destroying heaven and earth, powerful weapons that could sweep across the world.
The Furnace Platform Hall, due to its legacy and origins, had always sought to find and destroy such treasures.
According to the ancient scriptures, such world-destroying treasures should be destroyed.
A few ancestors in the Furnace Platform Hall even desired to obliterate Universe-level Treasures.
As per the Furnace Platform Hall’s legacy, only by destroying these powerful treasures could the world’s peace be maintained.
“Although it’s unclear whether this item is the Heaven-Shaking Bow or not, the fact that the blacksmith invited by Lu Zixu has bid for it means he must have seen something,” Sun Meng mused, narrowing his eyes.
The black-robed senior brother nodded and raised his hand to make a move.
A set of numbers appeared on the screen below.
“Ten billion.”
A triple bid.
This number shook everyone present.
The previous bids might have been motivated by the chance seized by Lu Zixu, causing the Furnace Platform Hall to spar with him.
But this bid now was not just a competition; it was a genuine attempt to seize the treasure.
“Interesting, the Furnace Platform Hall is also a major refining sect, have they really spotted something?” a treasure identification master mused with a smile on stage.
His words stirred the hearts of everyone in the pavilions.
Many were now tempted.
Should they make a move?
After all, as long as bidding continued, one could make an offer at any time.
But the question was whether to gamble like Lu Zixu had done.
At this moment, Lu Zixu also turned his head curiously, looking at Han Muye.
This was the only time Master Han had bid.
What kind of treasure was this item, after all?
“Uncle, should we take this thing?” In the pavilion of the Shangguan Family, a core member of the family, a young man sitting upright, spoke up.
Others also showed slight movement, turning to look at Shangguan Hong.
Upon hearing his words, Shangguan Hong’s face revealed a mysterious smile.
“Do you think you can snatch it?”
As his words fell, another set of numbers appeared below.
“Ten billion and one hundred million.”
The total surpassed ten billion, with an increment of a hundred million at a time.
The black-robed senior brother in front of Sun Meng frowned and raised his hand again.
Twenty billion.
Then, another set of numbers turned into twenty billion and one hundred million.
“Senior brother…” Sun Meng’s eyes gleamed with sharpness.
“Let’s gamble,” said the black-robed senior brother, raising his hand.
One hundred billion.
In the next instant, another set of numbers became one hundred billion and one hundred million.
The entire venue of the Treasure Identification Conference erupted.
Lu Zixu shook his head and murmured, “Why bother comparing wealth with Master Han…”
The maidservants in the pavilion also turned their attention to Han Muye, their faces filled with curiosity.
What kind of wealth did he possess?
