"unnecessary."

Ning Qi smiled and waved his hand.

He just came here to collect wool and didn't care whether he won the first place in the sword appreciation competition. He didn't have a sword at all.

When the boy saw this, he could only leave in disappointment.

After living in the pavilion for a few days, more and more monks came. When the sword appreciation meeting started, everyone was taken to the city lord's mansion.

The Lord of Jinling City is the ancestor of this huge city.

He also personally presided over the sword appreciation conference.

Ning Qi looked too young, so when he went to the city lord's mansion, many monks came forward to inquire about the news. Under Ning Qi's deliberate action, these monks thought that Ning Qi was a playful child of some aristocratic family, so they did not

Keep it in mind again.

As soon as he entered the city lord's mansion, Ning Qi thought and noticed an extremely powerful aura in the distance. This aura was much stronger than him, and it was definitely not a golden elixir monk.

Looking up, directly in front of the crowd, stood an old man with his hands behind his back. There were several golden elixir monks beside the old man. The aura that Ning Qi noticed came from this old man.

"I'll pay my respects to the Lord of Jinling City!"

Everyone quickly clasped their fists and saluted.

Ning Qi is no exception.

The Lord of Jinling City glanced at everyone, with a smile in his eyes, and nodded slightly, "Thank you all for coming from afar to participate in the sword appreciation meeting."

"The city lord is welcome."

Everyone said quickly.

Ning Qi did some calculations, and based on ten thousand red gold per person, hundreds of monks present could earn millions of red gold this time.

Red gold is useless to Ning Qi, but in the world of cultivation, red gold is a spiritual material that every magic weapon must have. The stronger the magic weapon, the more red gold is needed.

Jinling City relies on this method to earn a large amount of red gold from every sword appreciation meeting.

No wonder the Lord of Jinling City was so polite to the monks who came to attend the sword appreciation conference.

After a while, when everyone takes out their magic weapons, Ning Qi will leave with complete success.

However, he did not expect that the Sword Appreciation Conference would also include a sword testing session.

"Well, this sword has a long-lasting aura, is made of excellent material, and is in very good condition."

The old man examining the sword nodded slightly. When the owner of the sword saw this, he put it away with a smile and stood on the other side.

When it was Ning Qi's turn, the old man was obviously startled. Then he looked Ning Qi up and down and said with a smile: "Little brother, where is your sword?"

rather

Upon seeing this, Qi took out an ordinary long sword.

When everyone saw this, some people couldn't help it and laughed on the spot.

"What kind of sword is this? It's not even a magic weapon."

"How did this kid sneak in? Don't you have to pay 10,000 pure gold to participate in the sword appreciation competition?"

Everyone was whispering.

The Lord of Jinling City frowned slightly, and then a middle-aged man walked up to him and whispered a few words in a low voice.

"Did he really pay 10,000 red gold?"

"City Lord, this is indeed the case. It may be that the young master of a certain family secretly went out to travel. I am summoning all the major families to ask about this son's origins."

"Well, then he might have the blood of one of my old friends."

The Lord of Jinling City smiled and said to everyone: "He did indeed pay 10,000 red gold. You don't need to worry. There is no back door to this sword appreciation conference."

Seeing the city lord's attitude, the old man's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Little brother, this sword of yours is not a magic weapon, is it? If it is not a magic weapon, you cannot use it to participate in the sword appreciation meeting."

"Senior, it is indeed a magic weapon, but its extraordinary power can only be revealed when it is together with other swords."

Ning Qi smiled.

"How extraordinary?"

Someone laughed and said, "Is it because it is an ordinary long sword, so it feels extraordinary?"

"Won't we find out after the Sword Appreciation Conference starts?"

Ning Qi smiled.

"It's interesting. In the previous sword appreciation competition, no one has ever competed with this kind of ordinary long sword. Little brother, I'm afraid your ten thousand red gold will be wasted."

The old man examining the sword said with a half-smile.

"I can't say for sure."

Ning Qi smiled and shook his head.

"Whose baby is this? He looks very calm, which is unusual for his age."

The Lord of Jinling City squinted his eyes and looked at Ning Qi a few more times.

The old man who inspected the sword thought for a while and nodded slightly, "Let's consider you passed. When the conference starts, I hope to see the extraordinary features of this sword."

He smiled and returned the ordinary long sword to Ning Qi.

The sword test is just a formality, and the monks who follow can basically pass the test. After all, they must be full of confidence when they take 10,000 red gold to participate in the sword appreciation conference.

At the Sword Appreciation Conference, the grade of the treasure is not considered, only whether the sword has something special. If it has a special origin, that’s okay. This is the meaning of the word “appreciate” in the Sword Appreciation Conference.

righteous.

After the sword test, everyone came to an open space. Each monk offered his sword one after another. The sword fell in the center of the open space, the tip of the sword entered the soil three inches, and then the sword body buzzed and trembled.

If a sword has an extraordinary aura, it will always elicit a burst of applause, and the owner of the sword will show a hint of pride.

Not long after, the open space was densely filled with various swords, and everyone's eyes fell on Ning Qi.

"Child, you are the only one left."

Someone laughed.

Ning Qi nodded and walked slowly towards the sword formation.

"Ordinary mortal iron cannot be sacrificed, so it can only be sent over on foot. It seems that there is nothing special about this sword."

"This guy is really making a fool of himself."

"Every sword appreciation meeting is serious, and it's also fun when some people are messing around."

Everyone was whispering to each other, with a hint of a theater smile on their faces.

The Lord of Jinling City also looked at Ning Qi with a half-smile. Soon, Ning Qi came to the sword formation and inserted the long sword in his hand into the ground.

"When this sword is released, no matter what kind of magic weapon it is, it will be dimmed and reduced to a mortal thing."

Ning Qi smiled lightly.

Aura value +1600

Aura value +800

Aura value +3600

Aura value +5000

On the swords present, spiritual energy continued to pour into Ning Qi's body, and his spiritual energy value also skyrocketed. It soon exceeded one hundred thousand, and almost reached two hundred thousand.

In exchange for this, each piece of magic weapon lost its aura, and its brilliance gradually dimmed. Some of the swords that were buzzing gradually became quiet, as if they were mute.

Such a change gradually caused the smiles on the faces of all the monks present to freeze, and a look of astonishment appeared in their eyes.

Even the Lord of Jinling City has never seen such a scene.

Hundreds of magic weapons, regardless of grade, all turned into mortal objects one after another after the ordinary long sword fell into the ground for three minutes?

What method is this?

The mood of watching the show was gone. The Lord of Jinling City looked at Ning Qi solemnly: "What is going on?"

"Senior City Lord, this is the special feature of my mortal sword."

Ning Qi smiled.
