Chapter 524: Chapter 524: Upper Grade Magical Artifact: Nine Dragon Plate

An Upper Grade Magical Artifact?

Everyone’s attention was drawn to him.

Even Cheng Yuan activated his Double Pupil to take a look.

Chen Juzheng asked in a deep voice, ”Boss Liu, you can’t just say things like that! Do you even know what an Upper Grade Magical Artifact is?”

Liu Hong said nonchalantly, ”Of course I know what an Upper Grade Magical Artifact is. An Upper Grade Magical Artifact has Array Patterns inscribed within it, allowing it to automatically absorb the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!”

Chen Juzheng’s eyes lit up. ”So, Boss Liu is an expert. Please, show us your Upper Grade Spiritual Artifact.”

Liu Hong opened the travel case at his feet, and a shocking amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi burst forth!

It instantly filled the entire private room!

The presence it created was even greater than the Jade Marrow’s!

Everyone grew excited!

Only Cheng Yuan gently shook his head, a look of disinterest on his face.

What Liu Hong had brought was indeed an Upper Grade Magical Artifact, inscribed with nine dragon patterns. However, six of them were already broken, leaving only three damaged ones.

It was a severely damaged Upper Grade Magical Artifact that would likely fall apart after just a few uses.

Whoever bought it would be a huge sucker!

Cheng Yuan picked up the Broken Blade and began carefully cutting the Jade Marrow into several pieces.

The smaller pieces could be made into Protective Jade Tokens or rings.

The largest piece, shaped like a small sword, could be crafted into an offensive Magical Artifact.

Cheng Yuan used the Broken Blade to meticulously carve the Jade Sword. Channeling his Spiritual Power through the blade, he inscribed the Array Patterns into the Jade Sword’s interior, stroke by stroke.

Meanwhile.

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Liu Hong took out a Compass.

The Compass looked ancient, but the patterns on it were incredibly lifelike—especially the nine menacing Divine Dragons!

They looked as if they were about to spring to life!

It seemed as though they might burst from the Compass at any moment and tear everyone to shreds!

Liu Hong declared smugly, ”This is an Upper Grade Magical Artifact I was fortunate enough to acquire in the Romantic Country—the Nine Dragon Plate! The starting price is two billion, with each bid increasing by no less than five hundred million!”

Everyone stared at the Nine Dragon Plate with burning gazes!

The transaction price for an Upper Grade Magical Artifact was typically around five billion, and some of the more powerful ones could even fetch the sky-high price of ten billion!

However, no one acted rashly. Instead, they cast questioning glances toward the four masters.

One of the distinguished guests asked amiably, ”Perhaps we should ask the masters to appraise it first?”

Cheng Yuan kept his head down, fiddling with the Jade Marrow, not even bothering to look up.

Zhong Mingtang remained perfectly calm, his gaze turned inward as if nothing was happening.

Chen Juzheng was eager to have a go, but seeing how composed Zhong Mingtang was, Chen Juzheng suppressed his own impulse.

Liao Hufa’s eyes darted about evasively. He had not yet Entered the Dao, so he was incapable of activating the full power of an Upper Grade Magical Artifact.

Miao Shijie noticed Liao Hufa’s insecurity and said with a mischievous smirk, ”Master Liao, I hear you’re the number one Magic Master in Jiushui. You can surely see through the truth of this Nine Dragon Plate. Why don’t you appraise it first?”

Liao Hufa could have killed Miao Shijie, but with so many people watching, he couldn’t back down. He had no choice but to feign the demeanor of a transcendent master.

”Then I shall make a fool of myself!”

With that, Liao Hufa took out a Compass.

His Compass was a Low Grade Magical Artifact, and a rather poor one at that. Its only advantage was that a Mage like him, who had not yet Entered the Dao, could barely manage to activate it.

Liao Hufa activated his Compass with all his might, his feet tracing the steps of the Nine Palace Flying Stars as he circled the Nine Dragon Plate.

With the help of his Compass, Liao Hufa managed to slightly stir the Nine Dragon Plate.

One of the Dragon Horns on the Nine Dragon Plate faintly glowed for a moment.

Everyone felt a gentle, refreshing breeze brush against their faces, which was quite pleasant.

Just from activating a single Dragon Horn, Liao Hufa had nearly exhausted his Magical Power. His back was soaked with sweat, and he was gasping for breath.

”Thankfully, I have not failed my duty! My Magical Power is weak, so I was only able to determine that the Nine Dragon Plate is indeed an Upper Grade Magical Artifact. As for what specific Array Patterns are inscribed within it, I, Liao, do not know.”

At this, Cheng Yuan and Zhong Mingtang remained unmoved.

Chen Juzheng, however, snorted with disdain. ”Liao Hufa, you only activated a single Dragon Horn and you dare declare this is an Upper Grade Magical Artifact? You’d have to activate an entire Divine Dragon to be sure of that, wouldn’t you?”

Liao Hufa’s face flushed red at the rebuke, but he couldn’t refute it.

”Master Chen is correct. One dragon represents a small Dragon Vein, which represents one Array. Only by fully activating a Divine Dragon can one declare it an Upper Grade Magical Artifact. I implore Master Chen to appraise it.”

Chen Juzheng tilted his head back, slightly arrogant. ”In that case, I shall appraise it.”

With that, Chen Juzheng drew his Peach Wood Sword.

With a SPIT, Chen Juzheng sprayed a mouthful of wine, and the Peach Wood Sword once again burst into flames!

Chen Juzheng also began walking in a strange, mystical pattern, chanting, ”Six Jia, Nine Chapters, the sky is round, the earth is square. Four seasons, five elements, blue, red, white, and yellow. With the virtue of fire as my master, illuminate the eight directions! Go!!”

SWOOSH!!

The Fire Sword in Chen Juzheng’s hand shot forward!

A Fire Dragon charged straight toward the Nine Dragon Plate!

VMM! VMM! VMM!

The Nine Dragon Plate seemed to have been provoked. One of the Divine Dragons on it suddenly flared with a brilliant light!

The Water Elements within a hundred-meter radius instantly converged, forming a Water Dragon!

Although the Water Dragon looked much smaller than the Fire Dragon, it charged forward without hesitation!

TSSZZ! TSSZZ!

Even though the Water Dragon was less than a tenth the size of the Fire Dragon, it extinguished the flames in an instant and continued its ferocious charge toward Chen Juzheng!

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Chen Juzheng had to unleash more than ten Fire Swords in quick succession before he could finally destroy the Water Dragon!

This scene left the crowd’s hearts pounding with excitement!

”Master Chen is incredible! That Mystical Technique was simply divine! He successfully activated the Water Dragon!”

”That was magical! All this time, I thought these so-called Magical Artifacts were just a scam for idiots! I never thought I’d witness the power of a Magical Artifact with my own eyes today!”

Liao Hufa was utterly convinced. Bowing deeply to Chen Juzheng, he said, ”Master Chen, so you are a master who has Entered the Dao! This disciple was merely making a fool of himself before you just now!”

Chen Juzheng gave Liao Hufa an arrogant nod. ”The fact that you even know about Entering the Dao means you’ve at least stepped over the threshold of cultivation. You must continue to work hard.”

Liao Hufa humbled himself completely. ”Master Chen is right.”

A moment ago, Miao Shijie felt that Chen Juzheng had set him up. But now, he no longer dared to blame Chen Juzheng, because Chen had earned him a great deal of face!

Miao Shijie swept an arrogant gaze over Zhong Mingtang and Cheng Yuan.

”Master Zhong, Master Xiaocheng, how about you two appraise it as well?”

Clearly, in Miao Shijie’s mind, the move Chen Juzheng had just shown was so badass that the other two could only bow their heads in defeat.

The clash between the Water Dragon and the Fire Dragon left Duan Lang’s heart pounding.

Duan Lang seriously calculated his available assets. He could come up with about six billion. If that wasn’t enough, he could have Zhou Shilong sell the White Palace, which would bring in another billion or so.

Seven billion should be enough to secure this Upper Grade Magical Artifact, the Nine Dragon Plate!

Duan Lang suppressed his excitement and asked, ”Master Cheng, please appraise it for me. I really like this Nine Dragon Plate.”

Cheng Yuan was busy inscribing Array Patterns onto the Small Sword. How could he have the time?

Besides, he couldn’t be bothered to appraise a broken Magical Artifact. Without even raising his head, he said, ”I’m busy. We can talk later.”
