  This auction, there were barely any Divine Traversing Realms in the first place. Only a Divine Traversing Realm like Ye Yuan would enter here.

  The others, even if they were large family clans’ juniors, they all did not have the qualifications to enter here.

  Therefore, the person who spent 60 million to buy this Three-Lives Stone was definitely a sucker. Furthermore, this sucker was even somewhat foolish.

  Tang Fan and Mu Yun could not help exchanging glances, and could not help being very sympathetic towards that sucker in the Sky Character No. 2 Room.

  Inside the Sky Character No. 2 Room, Wu Jiantong was currently being pleased with himself.

  “Heh, there’s actually such a good thing like the Three-Lives Stone. A major trading firm like the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company indeed has some skill. This young master acquiring this thing, I can act recklessly without any qualms in the future when facing enemies! These 60 million earth essence crystals are well-spent!”

  “Congratulations to Brother Jiantong! Didn’t expect that this first auction article is such a heaven-defying item. Looks like tonight will have quite a number of good stuff!” Peng Yan said fawningly.

  This one afternoon’s time, Peng Yan already became acquainted with Wu Jiantong from messing around and became like a little lackey.

  Wu Jianqing’s pugilistic experiences were much more consummate and kept feeling that something was not right. But could not pinpoint it in a short time either.

  Furthermore, Wu Jiantong’s status in the family clan was much higher than him. Therefore, it was difficult for him to comment on anything as well.

  “Next, we invite the second auction article …”

  Ye Yuan had been observing beneath the stage the entire time. This Cai Yue was indeed an expert. Practically each auction item, she could maximize the profits.

  Three to four auction items being bid down, Ye Yuan discovered that the price of each article were all above its actual value.

  Of course, auction this kind of thing, what it observed was judgment.

  People without good judgment would tend to buy at a price higher than the auction item’s price in itself.

  But these front few items did not have much use to Ye Yuan. Therefore, he did not have the intention of making a move either.

  With Ye Yuan’s horizons, the things auctioned in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land, there were really very few able to enter his arcane sights.

  Hence, his primary goal of coming today was actually just to accompany Tang Fan, the two of them.

  Regarding this sort of auction, Ye Yuan had participated many times during his previous life. He was basically very familiar with it.

  Hiking up prices in an auction was very sagacious and not just casually shouting prices.

  People who genuinely understood the business all had a psychological price towards each auction article. Once the price hiked up over too much, they would definitely give up.

  Therefore, this tested the auction house’s ability.

  The base price must be moderate, making the final transaction price hiked up over slightly, yet it was also not to an extent where it broke through the limits of the bidders’ psychological price. Every single thing must be precise.

  One could say that the entire auction was a process of scheming and outwitting. It would depend on who grasped it more accurately.

  Right now, at this auction venue, there were clearly some people who knew the business but were no match for the many local tycoons. Therefore, several auction items being bid down, there was quite a number which were at a premium by a wide margin.

  Chapter 788. Black Metal Lump |

  It looked bustling, but everyone actually had a score in their hearts.

  Everyone coming over tonight, quite a number of them was aiming at that finale holy artifact.

  Organizing an auction, the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company would naturally leak out some news.

  The auctioning of a holy artifact would naturally draw many people to surround and spectate.

  Therefore, the final great battle tonight was still concerning that holy artifact.

  As long as that holy artifact was not some trash good, the final auction article would definitely be an intense seizing battle.

  These auction goods previously were at most considered appetizers before the meal.

  All the way until the eighth auction article ended, Ye Yuan did not even make a move to bid for a single item.

  But Mu Yun took fancy on an item. Under Ye Yuan’s guidance, he finally succeeded in the bidding.

  What Mu Yun took fancy upon was a Quasi-Tier 9 martial technique. This was also considered pretty good stuff in the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.

  It was just that this Quasi-Tier 9 martial technique was something that was not indispensable to the holy land’s major family clans. Therefore, the bidding was naturally not that intense too.

  Under Ye Yuan’s guidance, Mu Yun finally closed the deal with 10 million earth essence crystals as the price.

  And when announcing the closing of the deal, some helplessness was concealed in the depths of Cai Yue’s eyes. Clearly, she was very unhappy with this price.

  “Next, we’re starting the bidding for tonight’s ninth auction item. Talking about this auction item, truthfully speaking, our Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company actually doesn’t know its usage too. But we invited many appraisal masters who all ascertained before that this black metal lump is absolutely no commonplace good. For this black metal lump, we’ve specially invited Master Mu Yuanfei to appraise before. The final verdict he gave was that it was very likely to be a kind of very high-ranking artifact refining material. Of course, as for how the specifics functions are, it will probably be up to everybody to fumble yourselves. This black metal lump’s base auction price is one million. Each price increase is not to be lesser than 100 thousand. Auction starts.”

  Cai Yue finished introducing. Quite a number of people already lost interest in this shiny black metal chunk.

  Even the Heaven’s Destiny Trading Company could not figure out this metal lump’s use, let alone other people.

  As for saying that it was an artifact refining material, god knows if it could really be of use or not. Therefore, when Cai Yue’s voice faded, it actually became somewhat silent for a moment.

  Cai Yue swept a glance around the venue and could not help revealing a hint of a disappointed expression.

  Looks like this auction item would likely have to be passed on. But this was also something within expectations. This black metal chunk, they tested many methods, but could not figure out its use.

  “1.1 million!”

  Just as everyone all felt that it was going to be passed over, suddenly, someone shouted a price. Everyone followed the voice and looked over. It was actually a Divine Traversing Realm youth. Who could it be if not Ye Yuan?

  Even Tang Fan and Mu Yun were both rather surprised. Ye Yuan showed no interest the entire night but actually became interested in an unknown item.

  Cai Yue revealed an unexpected look of joy. She clearly did not think that there was really someone who offered a price.

  “This little brother offers 1.1 million. Is there still any higher than him?”

  Cai Yue surveyed the surroundings, hoping for another contender to appear.

  “2 million!”

  Right at this time, a shout actually came from upstairs. It was precisely the Sky Character No. 2 Room’s Wu Jiantong who increased the price.

  Furthermore, this increase raised it by 900 thousand! “The Sky Character No. 2 Room’s guest offers 2 million! Is there still any higher than him?” Cai Yue was faintly quite excited.

  “2.1 million!” Ye Yuan faintly shot a glance upstairs, his eyes not even blinking as he added the price.

  That fellow upstairs was absolutely here to make trouble. No need to guess and he also knew who that Sky Character No. 2 Room’s sucker was.

  The privacy upstairs was very good. The people
downstairs were not aware of who was upstairs. But the guests upstairs could see the situation below clearly.

  When Wu Jiantong saw that it was actually Ye Yuan yelling out the price, he could not resist playing a prank.

  “3 million!” Wu Jianton yelled.

  “Hahaha, that guy is definitely a penniless pauper! Saw a cheap item and want to pick up a bargain. I deliberately won’t it go according to his wishes!” yelling out the price, Wu Jiantong said to Wu Jianqing duo smugly.

  “Huhu, the prices of the goods at the front were all frighteningly high. Just this one is a little cheap. Looks like he really wanted to pick something up at a low price. Brother Wu is truly brilliant!” Peng Yan gave a thumbs up and said.

  “3.1 million!” Ye Yuan still yelled calmly.

  “4 million!”

  …

  “9.1 million.”

  “10 million!”

  Every time Wu Jiantong increased the price, Ye Yuan would add 100 thousand nonchalantly; it was as if an old well without ripples.

  But this time, Ye Yuan stopped.

  Everyone was stunned. They did not expect that a chunk of scrap metal actually reached 10 million earth essence crystals!

  Very clearly, that one upstairs was intentionally raising prices to repulse Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan had an indifferent look prior to this. Everyone even thought that he was a sucker.

  But he suddenly stopped, pushing that one upstairs to the edge of the cliff.

  “This guy wouldn’t have guessed something and deliberately raised prices with us, right?” Wu Jianqing said with a frown.

  Wu Jiantong did not speak, but his expression was not too good either.

  He was just deliberately baiting Ye Yuan and did not think about buying this lousy thing before at all.

  Who knew that he didn’t get to bait Ye Yuan; he was baited himself.

  “10 million once!”

  Cai Yue saw that Ye Yuan did not react the entire time and could not help being a little disappointed.

  “10 million twice!”

  Wu Jiantong’s expression was incomparably ugly. His primary goal this time was also the holy artifact. But in order to buy the Three-Lives Stone previously, the expenditure was somewhat over-budget.

  A figure of 10 million was not considered much to him. But buying a chunk of scrap metal back, people would die of laughter.

  Furthermore, an amount of 10 million might be able to play a critical role in the final wresting battle.

  Although Wu Jiantong’s status was high, the credit he could utilize was limited too. It was not possible to draw credit limitless.

  “10 million th …”

  “10.1 million!”

  At the final juncture, Ye Yuan’s voice actually sounded out once more.

  This time, his voice was clearly somewhat hesitant.

  “Hahaha! Like I said, this penniless pauper can’t even take out 10 million, and he actually dares to come to an auction like this!”

  Wu Jiantong let out a burst of laughter. On the one hand, it was discerning Ye Yuan’s ‘limit.’ On the other hand, it was to cover up his awkwardness from before.

  “Jiantong, our goal today is that holy artifact. Better don’t stir up unnecessary trouble anymore.” Wu Jianqing reminded.

  Wu Jiantong nodded his head and also backed down along with that.

  Based on his estimation, Ye Yuan’s ‘limits’ was also just this much.

  Raise the price anymore, and that lump of scrap metal would probably be his.

  “10.1 million once! 10.1 million twice! 10.1 million thrice! Deal! Congratulations to this little brother for obtaining the ninth auction item!”

  Cai Yue’s voice carried some pleasant surprise too. She completely never thought that this thing that had concerns about being passed over previously would actually be offered a high price of 10 million. This was truly an unexpected surprise.

  Ye Yuan was naturally slightly depressed in his heart too. He originally thought that he could spend a million to pick up a good thing cheap. He didn’t expect Wu Jiantong that fellow to actually cut in rudely, making him spend nine million more for no reason.

  Chapter 789. Felt like a Lifetime Had Passed |

  “Brother Ye, could it be that this lousy metal lump has any extraordinary aspects? Tang Fan asked somewhat curiously.

  Through of period of time of living together, they were all aware of Ye Yuan’s prudent character.

  If this metal lump was really without a single redeeming feature, it was absolutely impossible for Ye Yuan to spend 10 million earth essence crystals to buy it.

  Of course, to the current Ye Yuan, 10 million was actually not considered much.

  These few months that the Fragrant Medicine Pavilion opened for business, he already earned close to 100 million earth essence crystals. Earlier, he deliberately feigned a hesitant appearance in order to make Wu Jiantong not dare to increase prices.

  10 million, this was also the price that Ye Yuan estimated before.

  Too little, Wu Jiantong definitely would not fall for it.

  This metal lump, Ye Yuan was determined to get it. Even though he spent 10 million earth essence crystals, Ye Yuan felt that it was very worth it.

  Very worth it!

  These auction articles would all release the restrictions when auctioning. Guests could use divine sense and eyes to inspect the auction goods.

  Ye Yuan used divine sense to sweep over this black metal lump earlier and actually discovered that the golden characters in his sea of consciousness had strange activities!

  This discovery made Ye Yuan endlessly amazed in his heart.

  Ever since after Ye Yuan acquired these golden characters, he had no way of mobilizing them all along. Although he continuously attempted to comprehend these golden characters, the progress was very slow.

  Like today, the golden characters automatically having strange activities appear, it was still Ye Yuan’s first time encountering.

  He even thought that no one would snatch a chunk of scrap metal with him beforehand. He didn’t expect that this Wu Jiantong actually made him spend additional nine million earth essence crystals.

  This debt, Ye Yuan silently noted it down too.

  Seeing Tang Fan inquire, Ye Yuan just smiled faintly and said, “I’m currently collecting some materials recently. Since even Master Mu Yuanfei said that this metal lump is an excellent material, I naturally have to bid for it.”

  The golden characters were of grave importance. Ye Yuan obviously would not easily divulge it. Hence, he found a reason to dodge it a little.

  Fortunately, this Mu Yuanfei’s fame was too strong. His words, there were naturally very few people who would doubt.

  The auction subsequently, Ye Yuan’s interest somewhat waned.

  These things being auctioned were all pretty good. But he held them in complete contempt. He only wanted the auction to end as soon as possible to properly study this black metal lump.

  Finally, the front 12 articles all found a buyer, entering the auction of the final finale auction article!

  Everyone all perked their spirits up fully. Today’s auction also entered the final climax.

  Reaching this finale auction article, Cai Yue’s entire person roused herself because of it, giving people a feeling of radiating spirit.

  “I know that among all the guests, there are quite a number of people all aiming at tonight’s finale holy artifact. I, Cai Yue, can take responsibility and tell everybody and this holy artifact absolutely won’t disappoint you all! Actually, when Cai Yue got to know this holy artifact’s origins, I felt very honored to be able to host this auction tonight! Not talking anymore nonsense, let us invite the last finale auction article of tonight!”

  When Cai Yue was introducing this auction item, the coquettish air on her face actually vanished without a trace. Her entire person became solemn for it, becoming like a different person from her appearance before.

  This made Ye Yuan unwittingly became s
omewhat curious too. Just what kind of holy artifact could actually make a beautiful, coquettish madam underwent such a big transformation?

  And Cai Yue’s introduction likewise whetted up everyone’s appetites fully.

  The closer it approached this finale holy artifact, the more nervous everyone’s emotions became.

  Under everyone’s stares, a slim and graceful longsword was presented onto the stage. Everyone sized up this longsword with curious faces. The restrictions had yet to be removed. They did not know what incredible aspects this longsword had too.

  But hearing the meaning in Cai Yue’s words, this longsword seemed to be a big deal.

  “Tsk tsk, although this longsword’s restrictions haven’t be removed yet, it looks very impressive!” Mu Yun said.

  “Heh, Brother Ye, do you think that the power will augment or not when displaying the quick-sword art if I bid this longsword down? Brother Ye?”

  Tang Fan’s words did not get Ye Yuan’s reply, and he could not help turning his head to look at Ye Yuan. He saw Ye Yuan’s gaze staring fixedly at that longsword, his entire person as if having an immobilizing spell being cast, completely still.

  “Brother Ye? What’s with you?” Tang Fan nudged Ye Yuan.

  Ye Yuan abruptly startled awake before discovering his loss of composure and could not help forcing a smile as he said, “It’s my first time seeing a holy artifact. A little agitated, huhu.”

  It was still Tang Fan and Mu Yun’s first time seeing Ye Yuan lose composure like so. Although they did not quite believe Ye Yuan’s words, it was not appropriate for them to comment much either.
