Something’s Wrong with This Game — I Became a God by Mining!

Li Qing took a deep breath. This guy really was a Lower Sixth-Rank expert!

No wonder he could purchase five thousand Centenary Refined Vermilion Gold Flying Daggers in one go.

"Young Master Xu, normally speaking, someone of my standing wouldn't be qualified to recommend you."

"But I'm willing to give it a try!"

Li Qing's tone grew even more respectful.

His heart was pounding wildly.

If he could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the man before him...

It would be a massive boost to his future career!

"I'll trouble you, Brother Li Qing. Whether this works out or not, if you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come find me, Xu Qingshan."

"You're too kind!"

Li Qing hurriedly returned the gesture, then scampered off excitedly to inquire about the matter.

In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he came running back, beaming with joy:

If he could establish a long-term cooperative relationship with the man before him...

At the Great Yan Sword Sect, a courtyard was now filled with chairs and tea tables.

Everyone present radiated powerful auras—all of them were at least Sixth-Rank experts.

Li Qing didn't follow him in. The one who led Yang Ling inside was the same Lower Sixth-Rank who had been by Luo Jinchui's side earlier.

This man only exchanged a brief handshake with Yang Ling before confirming he was qualified to attend the auction.

After guiding Yang Ling to his seat, the Lower Sixth-Rank took his leave.

As soon as Yang Ling sat down, several pairs of eyes swept over him, carrying a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

After all, Yang Ling's current appearance made him look only about five or six years older than his actual age.

Around twenty-seven or twenty-eight. Someone that young attending an auction that required at least Lower Sixth-Rank cultivation was bound to attract attention.

"Most of the martial artists here are over forty, with the majority in their fifties."

"Most are Lower Sixth-Rank. A very small few can match Lan Wentao. As for Upper Sixth-Rank, there aren't many either..."

"That one from earlier doesn't seem to be here? Where did he go?"

Yang Ling was also observing them, and he was doing so even more meticulously. He directly opened his Status Panel and scrutinized everyone carefully.

He didn't find the person Luo Jinchui and Xu Zegang had greeted earlier.

When his gaze shifted to the front rows, he spotted several figures seated there.

The other Sixth-Rank experts kept their distance, sitting far away, not daring to approach these individuals.

"They're all at Fifth-Rank cultivation. Some are from the Great Yan Sword Sect, others from the Valley of the Dead. Huh?

Kong Xinghu is here too? That bastard even put on some disguise..."

Yang Ling was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected to see Kong Xinghu here.

The other Fifth-Rank experts seemed to know Kong Xinghu's true identity, treating him with a certain amount of respect in their conversation.

Perhaps sensing Yang Ling's gaze, Kong Xinghu casually turned his head and glanced over.

Seeing it was just an unfamiliar young man, he didn't pay any more attention and continued chatting and laughing with the others.

"Kong Xinghu's attributes are only slightly inferior to Yun Buchuan. He's at the peak of Lower Fifth-Rank, about to break through to Mid Fifth-Rank."

"Him showing up here today means there should be something good at this auction."

Yang Ling felt a bit more anticipation in his heart. Of course, he wasn't qualified to compete with Fifth-Rank experts for items, and snatching something would only cause trouble.

But even just getting a chance to broaden his horizons was a good thing.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the seats in the courtyard were basically all filled, and the courtyard gate was closed.

Luo Jinchui stepped onto a temporary platform, smiling as he cupped his hands in salute to everyone:

"This auction will be hosted by this junior. If there are any shortcomings, I ask all seniors to bear with me."

"You're too kind, Young Pavilion Master."

Many Sixth-Rank martial artists laughed and echoed.

Although Luo Jinchui was merely a lowly Seventh-Rank, his background and status meant even Sixth-Rank experts had to treat him with courtesy.

"The first item for auction today is a Lower Sixth-Rank divine armament, the Azure Dragon Spear."

Luo Jinchui's expression shifted, turning serious as he waved to his subordinates.

A spear was carried up. Its shaft seemed to have an azure dragon coiled around it.

"Divine armaments have spirits. This Azure Dragon Spear was once held by a Sixth-Rank expert a hundred years ago, who used it to slay several Sixth-Ranks. When activated with Vital Qi, it can manifest a three-zhang-long azure dragon to kill enemies! Its power is formidable."

Luo Jinchui introduced the divine armament, the Azure Dragon Spear.

Yang Ling immediately looked at it, and detailed information appeared before him:

[Azure Dragon Spear, Equip Requirement: Level 120, Strength 100, Agility 70, Vital Qi: 1000]

[Dual Attribute Boost 70 points, HP 300 points, Vital Qi 300 points, Attached Skill: Azure Dragon Emerges (Consumes 1000 Vital Qi)]

"Dual attribute boost of 70 points? Sigh—"

Yang Ling gasped sharply.

So this was what a real Lower Sixth-Rank divine armament was like?

That was way more attribute boost than the Fire Crocodile Set provided!

Although it seemed inferior in other aspects, just the attribute column alone was already top-tier!

"And it's just a weapon, not a set. If it were a complete Lower Sixth-Rank divine armament set, the attributes would probably be even more terrifying."

"But the equip requirement is a bit high. Level 120? Apart from me, it'll probably be another year or two before any other players can break through Level 120..."

"As for manifesting a three-zhang-long azure dragon to kill enemies... that means the Natives of the Divine Realm also have ways to use the attached skills on equipment. But they call it 'the divine armament has a spirit'..."

"From Sixth-Rank to Fourth-Rank, weapons are called divine armaments by them. That probably means only those above Sixth-Rank can use the attached skills..."

At this point, Luo Jinchui announced the auction price:

80,000 taels of Fine Silver.

Several Sixth-Rank martial artists who practiced spear techniques began bidding, and it was soon sold for 130,000 taels, snatched up by a Lower Sixth-Rank martial artist.

Next, Luo Jinchui auctioned off seven or eight more Lower Sixth-Rank divine armaments.

There were swords and blades. Not a single one went unsold. They were all fiercely contested by the Sixth-Rank experts present. They were very popular.

Yang Ling kept observing these Lower Sixth-Rank divine armaments.

Not a single one had an equip requirement below Level 100.

"It looks like I won't be thinking about divine armaments for now. I can't meet the level requirements."

As the divine armament auction continued, Yang Ling felt he was broadening his horizons.

After the Lower Sixth-Rank divine armaments were sold, Luo Jinchui auctioned three Mid Sixth-Rank divine armaments.

Their attributes and skills were significantly stronger than the Lower Sixth-Rank ones.

When it came to Upper Sixth-Rank divine armaments, Luo Jinchui brought out a sword that looked very ordinary.

[Devour Heaven Golden Sword, Equip Requirement: Direct Disciple of the Devour Heaven Palace Sect Leader]

[Dual Attribute Boost 150, Attached Skill: Blade Storm (Consumes 3000 Vital Qi)]

The attribute introduction was very simple, but it left Yang Ling stunned.

"Did this sword come down from the Devour Heaven Palace?"

Yang Ling's heart stirred. He happened to have a chance to go to the Devour Heaven Palace dungeon.

If he could get this sword, it would greatly increase his chances of clearing the dungeon.

"This Devour Heaven Golden Sword was once the personal weapon of a direct disciple of the Devour Heaven Palace Sect Leader. Legend has it that this direct disciple had already reached the Grandmaster realm the day before the Devour Heaven Palace was destroyed."

"The material of this sword is special, containing Kylin Iron and many other rare minerals."

"Even after hundreds of years, its blade can still split a hair blown against it."

"It is an Upper Sixth-Rank divine armament!"

"The only drawback..."

Luo Jinchui: "No one currently knows how to awaken the spirit of the Devour Heaven Golden Sword..."

"What he calls 'spirit' is the skill. So this special equip requirement also applies to the local Natives?"

"If you're not a direct disciple of the Devour Heaven Palace Sect Leader, you can't equip it, and naturally, you can't use its skill..."

At this point, Luo Jinchui announced the auction price for the Devour Heaven Golden Sword:

Starting at 100,000 taels, each bid must increase by no less than 1,000 taels.

There was a brief silence in the auction hall. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Xu Zegang's expression was stiff. He scanned the room and, seeing no one was interested in his Devour Heaven Golden Sword, couldn't help but feel anxious.

A few Upper Sixth-Ranks exchanged glances, a hint of amusement visible in each other's eyes.

This sword had already gone unsold several times. Its spirit had probably been depleted long ago. Apart from its material still being on par with divine armaments, it wasn't even as good as a random Lower Sixth-Rank one.

Who would be willing to spend so much money to buy it? To buy it and just put it on a pedestal? That would be pretty unlucky.

"One hundred and one thousand taels."

Yang Ling thought for a moment and made a bid.

In an instant, everyone's gaze fell squarely on Yang Ling, all wondering who the sucker was.

Xu Zegang was slightly startled, then overjoyed. He looked at Yang Ling with a hint of gratitude.

This sword could finally be unloaded!
