Chapter 77

"Sir, what are you talking about? I'm just here to sell what I have in my hands!"

Li Chen slightly shook his head, not accepting the other party's flattery.

"Haha, good, not arrogant or impatient. My ignorant nephew offended you just now, I hope you won't hold it against him!"

Guan Canghai laughed heartily and personally handed him a cup of tea.

"No problem!"

Li Chen took a sip of tea, and the matter was considered settled.

"Friend, you are magnanimous. Since you are so generous, I won't hide anything from you. These five spirit weapons are all good things. I want to keep them for the auction, of course, the fees involved, our shop will not take a single coin. All the proceeds from the auction will go to you, as a way for me to apologize for my nephew!"

Guan Canghai praised and then stated his intentions.

"If you buy them directly, wouldn't it be up to your shop to decide the price?"

Li Chen raised an eyebrow; the other party was completely overthinking it.

"Haha, with your skills, you will definitely regain these treasures in the future. I hope that when you want to sell, you will consider our shop first!"

Guan Canghai did not hide anything and laughed heartily.

"Since Sir is so straightforward, let's do it this way. I'll sell the spirit weapons directly to your shop!"

Seeing the other party speak clearly, Li Chen did not hesitate and immediately agreed. "I have quite a few other miscellaneous items here. I hope Sir can appraise them for me, so I don't have to go to another place. I'm also quite interested in this auction, it will help increase my wealth!"

"Good, good, good! You are indeed a straightforward person. This is simple; no matter what treasure, our Treasure Gathering Pavilion will not hesitate!"

Guan Canghai clapped his hands and laughed, agreeing to everything.

Li Chen did not hesitate either. In front of everyone, he took out several storage bags and took out the miscellaneous items from the thirteen bandits of Tianyun one by one.

Of course, he kept the useful items, such as Yunzhonghe's 'Fengyun Leg' and Yunzhongxiong's 'Mashan Lie,' which were rare body techniques, and a few Blood Rage Pills, which were excellent treasures for desperate situations.

As for the rest, except for a few weapons and treasures he planned to give to Pang Wenshan and others, he took them all out.

These items naturally shocked everyone present again, adding a few more layers of mysterious awe towards the hooded figure.

Li Chen took the opportunity to ask many questions, of course, all carefully considered and somewhat obscure.

Both sides had a pleasant conversation, and with such a large deal, Guan Canghai answered all of Li Chen's questions without reservation. In the end, he even gave him a secret collection of 'Xuantian Continent Chronicles.'

It not only recorded many secrets of the continent but also the functions of many rare treasures, absolutely essential for travel and daily life.

"Still, it's the capability of the manager. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to resolve this!"

After seeing Li Chen off, the old man in the private room wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The manager has been here for decades, what kind of people hasn't he seen? Dealing with an adventurer is easy!"

The warrior also served tea and flattered him.

"Humph!"

Guan Canghai's face darkened, his eyes scanning the six spirit weapons on the table, filled with anger: "Go, lock that little brat up. He almost caused a major disaster this time!"

"Ah?"

The old man and the warrior looked at each other, confused: "Manager, the young master has played around many times, and no one has died..."

"Die? If someone dies, it will be too late. Old Liu, have you wasted all these years of experience?"

Guan Canghai slapped the table and shouted angrily.

"Ah?"

The old man was startled and hurriedly examined the spirit weapons on the table carefully: "The treasure light hasn't faded, the true qi still lingers. This is a sign of recent use!"

Any spirit weapon has a characteristic of retaining the user's true qi, making it more convenient to use over time.

"Humph, not only that, this Death Pen still carries a blood aura. If my senses are correct, it should be from a mid-stage True Forging Realm warrior. The others, though much fainter, still retain a fierce aura, clearly from long-term combat!"

Guan Canghai coldly snorted and grabbed the Death Pen from the table.

If Li Chen were here, he would be greatly surprised. What Guan Canghai said was entirely accurate. The thirteen bandits of Tianyun often robbed passing adventurers and would also enter the Ancient Cang Mountains to kill beasts in their spare time.

Their spirit weapons naturally retained a fierce aura.

"Could it be that the person is a lone bandit?"

Suddenly, a light flashed in Old Liu's mind, and he thought of a possibility.

"I wish he were a lone bandit, but this person is even more terrifying than a lone bandit!"

Guan Canghai's face was extremely grim, his eyes flickering.

"Ah? How is that possible?"

Six different spirit weapons represented six True Forging Realm warriors. Old Liu and the warrior looked at each other, both seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.

"Old Liu, don't you find these spirit weapons familiar?"

Guan Canghai's hand swept over the spirit weapons, lowering his voice.

"Familiar?"

Old Liu raised an eyebrow. Although each spirit weapon had its own characteristics, they were not specially crafted. As long as the materials were gathered, they could be commissioned from any major weapon-making shop.

"Humph, after so many years, you're still the same. Have you forgotten our shop's old rival?"

A look of disdain flashed in Guan Canghai's eyes as he spoke coldly.

"The thirteen bandits of Tianyun!"

Old Liu was startled, his eyes filled with shock as he stared at the six spirit weapons, his fingers trembling.

"Remembered?"

Guan Canghai sipped his tea and continued: "In the thirteen bandits of Tianyun, Crane, Tiger, Wolf, Fox, and Wolf used these spirit weapons!"

"Not possible, who could have killed nearly half of the thirteen bandits of Tianyun? Outsiders may not know their situation, but we have lost so many live creatures to them. Don't we know? That's ten True Forging Realm warriors and three half-step True Forging Realm warriors!"

Old Liu exclaimed, almost knocking over the teacup on the table.

"Who said the thirteen bandits of Tianyun always act together? I observed that person, his aura of killing is intense, definitely a seasoned killer. To gather these spirit weapons in a short time, besides the one who killed the thirteen bandits of Tianyun, I can't think of any other way!"

Guan Canghai's face was solemn.

"If that's true..."

Old Liu finally understood why Guan Canghai was so angry earlier. If that were the case, offending such a person would mean making an even more terrifying enemy than the thirteen bandits of Tianyun.

"Heh, if that's true, the treasures we've lost over the years will be attributed to this person. If not, the auction our master plans to hold in half a month is about to start. Although the main treasures are ready, if the key treasures are insufficient, it will be embarrassing. It's perfect, haha!"

Guan Canghai was excited by his brilliant idea and laughed heartily.

"Manager, you mean, even if they are not the spirit weapons of the thirteen bandits of Tianyun, you will spread this news to attract warriors to buy?"

Old Liu's eyes lit up, and he blurted out.

"Yes, but not entirely. If the news spreads, the remaining members of the thirteen bandits of Tianyun will seek revenge, and we can catch them all. If not, we can use them as a gimmick!"

His fingers slowly swept over the spirit weapons, and Guan Canghai smiled sinisterly.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

"High, truly high!"

Old Liu and the guard warrior couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
