Xu Wendong deliberately inflates the bidding price for the Thunder Roaring Hundred Feet Talismans, tricking Loli into spending eight million Nether Crystals when they were worth far less. Loli, realizing she was scammed, vows revenge on Xu Wendong, whom she identifies as Lin Mo. She then follows him and Li Jiayin, determined to bid against them, but Xu Wendong continues to manipulate the prices, leading to Loli’s further losses.

Such a scene allowed the various forces on the second floor to witness Xu Wendong’s prowess.

This new disciple of the Heavenly Nether Sect is not someone to be trifled with; meticulous and with remarkable methods, he can’t be underestimated.

Before long, they arrived at the last counter.

Just as Master Fu was about to introduce it, Xu Wendong sensitively noticed that many people quickly clustered like sharks scenting blood.

He understood that the last counter at this artifact appraisal must hold the supreme treasure, otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted so much attention.

"Everyone, regarding the last treasure of this appraisal, I will not explain its purpose in detail; I will only reveal its price."

Master Fu cleared his throat, his voice loud and steady, standing out in the noisy environment.

"This item, priced at ten million Nether Crystals!" His voice fell like a bombshell, sending waves of surprise through the crowd.

As soon as he spoke, Master Fu stepped forward and steadily pulled the black cloth on the counter.

Suddenly.

A golden light shot out from the counter, like the first ray of dawn, illuminating the entire space.

Inside the counter, there lay a small engraving knife.

The design of the knife was stunning, with lifelike dragon patterns seemingly dancing on its blade.

Golden lines flowed across the entire knife, resembling lively golden streams, exuding a vibrant life force.

"Is this... an engraving knife for drawing Netherworld Talismans?" Xu Wendong recognized it instantly with sharp eyes.

He knew that to create high-level Nether Talismans, an engraving knife is indispensable.

The knife can inject powerful spiritual and soul power from one’s body into the Nether Talismans, and talismans drawn with such a knife often produce more significant effects.

Ordinary engraving knives range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of Nether Crystals in price.

The most expensive ones reach the million level, usually reserved for Nether Talisman Masters above Fifth Grade.

Now, the Netherworld Pavilion’s final ace item turned out to be a knife worth ten million, which was nothing short of shocking.

"That’s too expensive!"

"A mere engraving knife, priced at ten million Nether Crystals?"

"They’re crazy for money! The Netherworld Pavilion is becoming unreliable."

The crowd erupted, discussing fervently.

Among them were some Nether Talisman Masters, who clearly also felt the knife’s price was absurd.

A knife worth ten million Nether Crystals would likely require a Seventh or Eighth Grade Nether Talisman Master to handle it.

"Why so expensive?" Li Jiayin furrowed her brows, full of doubt.

She knew Xu Wendong could engrave Thunder Roaring Hundred Feet Talisman, indicating he was a Nether Talisman Master.

The final treasure was an engraving knife, which she considered buying as a gift for Xu Wendong.

But she didn’t anticipate the daunting price, causing her hesitation.

"It’s not that the more expensive the knife, the better. On the contrary, if a knife is too formidable, it’s a burden to ordinary Nether Talisman Masters who can’t use it effectively, even resulting in adverse effects," a serious Nether Talisman Master beside Loli explained the knife’s flaws.

"For those who can use it, this is a supreme treasure, but for us, it’s merely iron, utterly useless," someone added next, echoing the nods from the crowd.

Xu Wendong absorbed these words entirely yet had a feeling that this knife held more than meets the eye.

It might conceal an unknown opportunity!

He felt a surge, a confident smile gracing his lips.

"Senior Sister, may I borrow some Nether Crystals?" Xu Wendong smiled at Li Jiayin, eyes brimming with anticipation.

Li Jiayin understood his intention and without hesitation, handed him the storage bag, her eyes filled with gentle trust.

"Junior Brother, today I’m here to shop with you. I haven’t picked a good gift yet, but luckily you’ve found something you like, so I’ll buy it for you."

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong’s confidence soared.

He took a deep breath, straightened up, and declared loudly, "Master Fu, ten million Nether Crystals, I’ll take it."

The whole arena instantly fell into astonishment.

Everyone gazed at him like he was an oddity.

Loli couldn’t help but laugh aloud, "This guy must think he can fool me again; does he really believe I’ll fall for it, when it’s ten million Nether Crystals?"

Loli’s words were like pebbles dropped into a calm lake, stirring waves of ridicule from the crowd.

Everyone thought Xu Wendong was employing old tricks, trying to lure others out, but this time he only cornered himself.

Since Loli refused to take the bait, wouldn’t this thing end up stuck on Xu Wendong?

"Does anyone wish to bid?" Master Fu scanned the audience, his voice filled with expectation, hoping someone would break the awkward silence.

However.

Glancing around, the room fell utterly silent, with no one daring to bid, fearing they’d be the next dupe to take over from Xu Wendong.

Yet Xu Wendong’s smile grew, an arc of confidence formed at the corner of his lips.

A bunch of fools.

An engraving knife prized at ten million surely had exceptional attributes.

The Netherworld Pavilion purposely concealed information about the knife, striving to instill a sense of mystique along with their ignorance of its history.

But my presence shattered the mysterious aura, preventing anyone from daring to offer a bid.

The mystique vanished instantly, with none willing to be outdone by me.

Master Fu furrowed his brow, internally sighing.

The most lucrative item, surprisingly, received no bids?

He helplessly sighed, raising his voice to declare, "Painting Saint Engraving Blade Fragment now belongs to Lin Mo of the Heavenly Nether Sect!"

The moment the words left his lips, everyone on the second floor seemed frozen by an immobilization spell, stunned.

Their eyes bulged, filled with shock, mouths agape wide enough to fit eggs.

The second floor fell into silence, quiet enough to hear a pin drop.

"What did you say? Painting Saint Engraving Blade?"

"Master Fu, why didn’t you reveal that earlier? That’s the Painting Saint!"

"If I’d known it was the Painting Saint Engraving Blade, I’d have bought it, price be damned!"

In the Netherworld realm, the Nether Talisman Master field once ushered in a mighty legendary figure.

His name is long forgotten, yet his prowess in crafting Nether Talismans reverberated throughout the realm.

His lifetime, akin to radiant stars, saw countless awe-inspiring Nether Talismans.

At the pinnacle of his technique, casting a talisman could subdue a region, his strength commanding deep reverence.

As a supreme expert, his engraving knife was recognized as a Nine-grade Treasure, embodying boundless power and mystery.
