Forgery

Who knew that Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "There's no need to go out, and it's so troublesome. You can just demonstrate here."

"Demonstrate here? F*ck, didn't you hear what Yun Qing said? There's a huge amount of black sand in this gourd. Once it's released, it'll produce a large amount of poisonous fog and miasma. Do you think we'll still have any work left to demonstrate here?"

"If you want to kill yourself, don't drag us in."

As soon as everyone heard that Xiao Yi was going to demonstrate the black Yu Feiyan gourd on the spot, they all shouted.

Even though they were all cultivators, in front of this kind of Taoist Weapon, they still couldn't calm down. Who wouldn't be afraid of the tremendous power produced by the massive poisonous sand?

Yun Qing's face turned pale. She waved her hands and said, "No, I can't."

Xiao Yi smiled but didn't say much. He took a step forward and performed an incantation gesture with two fingers. He pointed at the black Yu Feiyan gourd and bellowed, "Flush!"

With a loud rumble, the black Yu Feiyan gourd immediately came out. At the same time, black smoke came out.

"Ah, this b*stard, did he release the black Yu Feiyan gourd? I'm going to die!"

"Quickly run. This is a Taoist Weapon. D*mn it, is this guy going to kill us all?"

They were scared out of their wits when they saw this scene. Several of them, who were fast in martial arts, immediately rushed out of the hall. Those who were slow were already in despair.

While they were running for life, the black Yu Feiyan gourd on the other side was lifeless.

After the loud rumbling and the black smoke, the legendary Taoist Weapon stopped. There was no longer the brilliance on it, and it became dark and lying on the tray. How could it still look like a good-looking man?

It was like a firecracker that had been lit but had not exploded. Instead, it had become a mute one.

"Eh? What's going on?" The cultivators who were flying outside were dumbfounded when they saw this scene from the corner of their eyes.

Those who flew out also discovered the abnormality at this moment and poked their heads out and returned to the hall.

"What's wrong? Is this the effect of fully exerting the power of the black Yu Feiyan gourd? What the h*ll is this?"

"Could it be that this thing is really a fake?"

Everyone widened their eyes, and the fear in their hearts instantly turned into shock.

The graceful female cultivator who had been standing next to Xiao Yi almost cried the moment he cast the black Yu Feiyan gourd. But now, she was dumbfounded. Pointing at the black Yu Feiyan gourd, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

The most shocked and unacceptable person was naturally the host Yun Qing.

This black Yu Feiyan gourd was personally verified by her. In terms of discernment, no one dared to acknowledge Yun Qing as the second in the auction on King Island. Naturally, Yun Qing was highly cautious when it came to the Taoist Weapon. Who would have thought that the young man in front of her would claim that it was a fake? Moreover, after being demonstrated on the spot, this was the effect of the Yu Feiyan gourd.

At the same time, Yun Qing and the rest could also see everything clearly. Xiao Yi didn't even touch the black Yu Feiyan gourd. It was absolutely impossible for him to do fake things like stealing a beam and replacing a pillar.

"This, this!" Sweat instantly appeared on Yun Qing's forehead. However, she didn't give up at all. She suddenly grabbed the Yu Feiyan gourd, moved her fingers to cast an incantation gesture, and then shouted softly again, "Flush!"

But this time, the black Yu Feiyan gourd didn't move at all, as if it had fallen asleep, and didn't even emit a little black smoke.

"This, this is impossible!" Yun Qing's beautiful face paled, and fragrant sweat dripped down from her pink face. Her chest under the veil rose and fell sharply, and it was hard to hide the shock and frustration in her heart.

This was undoubtedly the first time Yun Qing witnessed this, and it was also the first time for the auction on the King Island.

As the appraiser and buyer of this Taoist Weapon, Yun Qing had a unshirkable responsibility. Moreover, if this counterfeit was really auctioned out, then the reputation of the auction on King Island would be completely destroyed.

At that moment, Yun Qing's mind was blank. She widened her eyes, which were full of shock and horror, and looked at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi understood Yun Qing's feelings. After a moment's thought, he said in a clear voice, "Miss Yun, I can't deny that the one who can make this counterfeit must be a rare and brilliant talent in this world. I was deeply shocked even the first time I saw the Yu Feiyan gourd. I almost believed it."

"Then, sir, how did you manage to see through it?" Yun Qing's lips moved as she asked with much difficulty.

"That's because this creator made a simple mistake, that is, to go overboard. The black Yu Feiyan gourd showed an extremely extraordinary appearance as soon as it appeared, and these abnormal inscriptions aroused my suspicion. As a Taoist Weapon, it is far from reaching that mysterious level. I couldn't help but wonder why such a strange phenomenon would appear on the Taoist Weapon and why the creator had to cover up something deliberately." Xiao Yi looked at the black Yu Feiyan gourd and said.

"But how can the surging spiritual power be faked?" Yun Qing asked urgently, unable to wipe away the sweat on his forehead.

"That's why the creator put in a lot of effort. Although the spiritual energy fluctuated, it was like a dead thing. There was no endless feeling because the spiritual energy was just made by the creator and was temporarily sealed in a formation on the surface of the black Yu Feiyan gourd in a wonderful way. That is to say, the spiritual energy that fluctuated on the gourd came from the surface of the gourd, not the inside. To put it bluntly, it was a bluff. And the loud noise and the black smoke were just small tricks. It was just a piece of cake for the creator to be so ingenious." Xiao Yi analyzed carefully.

"But I've once witnessed the person who sold it. How did it turn out to be fake?" Yun Qing asked anxiously. Xiao Yi's analysis made Yun Qing's heart fall to the bottom of the valley, and her heart turned cold.

"I'm guessing that the demonstration was not within the boundaries of your King Island, right?" Xiao Yi asked.

"No." Yun Qing was extremely clever. After hearing Xiao Yi's question, she immediately changed her face and said in a trembling voice, "Do you mean that the state of the large-scale poisonous sand being put was all fakes they prepared in advance?"

Xiao Yi nodded his head. He couldn't bear to let a woman suffer such a huge blow.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qing's body shifted, and she took a step back. She supported herself on the table and didn't fall. Her lips moved for a long time before he let out a bitter laugh. "Their plan is really marvelous. From the moment they released the ink gourd to when they led me to the place where they'd designed the gourd, it seemed that every step of theirs had been carefully planned. Pitiful me. I've been identifying items every day, still l get cheated."

Yun Qing's face was as white as a sheet. The loss this time could not be described as a terrible one. Of course, the most important thing was the boundless sense of defeat after knowing that she had been tricked.

Everyone present looked at each other in shock after hearing Xiao Yi and Yun Qing's conversation.

"This black Yu Feiyan gourd is actually fake? Oh my god, how can there be someone who can make this gadget to such an extent?"

"If it was auctioned off by the woman, she would regret it."

"Hey, if it is really an auction, although the one from Smarty Mountain is miserable, the most miserable is the King Island. The reputation that has been there for a hundred years will be completely destroyed."

"It actually fooled us all. This fake one deserves to die."

"But, how did that kid manage to recognize it?"

The crowd burst into a discussion.

However, with regards to everyone's doubts, Xiao Yi did not bother to explain them. In his previous life, he was a grandmaster-level expert in artifact crafting. When he personally refined artifacts, he would not only have crafted Taoist Weapon but also Immortal Weapon. Thus, he was naturally more knowledgeable about the path of the Dao than anyone else.

But how many of the people present had ever seen a real Taoist Weapon? Not to mention to make a Taoist Weapon.

While the crowd was discussing, they also turned their sympathetic eyes to Yun Qing. This matter was a huge blow to Yun Qing.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yun Qing took a few deep breaths after the brief collapse. She quickly regained her composure and gently wiped away the sweat from her forehead. There was still a smile on her face as she said to the crowd, "I'm sorry, everyone. I didn't think that something like this would happen. The King Island auction actually almost ended up with a fake product. All of this is Yun Qing's fault. I'll make the decision. Tonight, the entrance fee, I'll return the fee to you in full, whether or not each of you gains anything from this auction."

"Ah? Return the entrance fee of one million yuan? This is a rare thing."

"This is really a good show. Although I didn't manage to gain anything, I'm not ashamed of myself. I've even watched a good show."

Money was always good no matter how rich and poor the cultivators were. When they heard Yun Qing's words, they all smiled, secretly giving Yun Qing a thumbs-up. In the face of a severe blow, she was able to recover immediately, but she could also make such a bold decision. Yun Qing was really extraordinary.

Now that such a big thing had happened here, this auction naturally came to an end. Then, everyone left the hall one after another.

The female cultivator with the Haotian Stone hesitated for a while and finally came to Xiao Yi. She bowed slightly and said in a low voice, "Thank you very much!"

Xiao Yi glanced at her and felt that this female cultivator was very frank. Xiao Yi just smiled and said, "There's no need to be so polite. To be honest, the Haotian Stone in your hand really attracts me. I wonder if you can exchange it for a Highest Grade Pill?"

However, the female cultivator immediately shook her head and said, "I'm sorry. I just want to exchange my Haotian Stone for powerful weapons. I won't exchange it for anything else. I still have something to do, so I have to go now."

After that, she left without looking back.

Xiao Yi didn't expect this woman to be so stubborn. However, there was nothing he could do. This was the case in the Cultivation World. There would often be situations like this. He had seen top-grade natural treasures, but he would miss them if he didn't have a good chance. He couldn't force her.

Xiao Yi let out a light sigh before walking outside.

However, as soon as he took a step, Yun Qing stopped Xiao Yi and said, "Sir, please wait a moment. Would you like to have a chat with me in the back hall?"

Xiao Yi stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, but just wait for me for a while. I still have a small matter to deal with."

Yun Qing saw that Xiao Yi had agreed and felt relieved. However, she also looked curiously at Xiao Yi and did not know what he was going to do.

Xiao Yi strode out of the hall and caught up with a cultivator who was about to leave.

"Fellow Taoist, please wait a moment!" Xiao Yi's voice was not loud as he shouted.

The cultivator in front of him was taken aback, but he immediately turned around.
