tantly. He had brought the elite of the Five Lakes Merchant Guild, who were usually masters at brawling. Now, they couldn't even withstand a single move from their opponent.He threw the cigarette on t..."This guy is too aggressive, he just added ten million all at once!"

"My God, four and a half million This sword is worth around twenty million That price has doubled, right..."

"Interesting, I wonder how the Four Directions Sword Sect will respond..."

Everyone around was watching with great interest. Now, it was clear to everyone that this was no longer about buying a sword, but a matter of face.

"You..."

Jian Jueya's face darkened to the extreme. Things had gone far beyond his expectations at this point.

I originally thought that as long as I bid above 20 million, the other party wouldn't be able to keep up. I didn't expect it to skyrocket to this level all at once.

At this point, he already had the desire to back out. After all, buying it at such a high price would probably result in a scolding from the Elder.

And just then, Ye Bufan glanced at him with a sneer.

"On the stage, my Lingyun Sword Sect can defeat your Sifang Sword Sect. It's the same at the auction."

The moment these words left his lips, they pierced Jian Jueya's heart like a sharp blade. A surge of blood rushed to his head, and he was no longer able to think rationally.

"I'll bid eighty million, you can try to top it if you have the guts!"

Manager Miao Jiuxin of the Zixinglou sat beside, watching everything before him with a calm expression. In his heart, however, he was overjoyed, for this development was exactly what he desired.

The rules of the auction state that you cannot threaten or coerce another participant into withdrawing. However, provocation is allowed, as it ultimately benefits the auction house immensely.

You won!

Before everyone could recover, Ye Bufan smiled and put down the number plate in his hand.

Everything should be in moderation, knowing when to stop. He knew his timing was right.

Once you raise the price again, if the other party wakes up and exits directly, you'll lose a lot.

Although I have eleven billion Xianjing in my pocket, money shouldn't be spent recklessly. It's for the Emperor Grass.

Even if you said eighty million, he wouldn't buy that mid-grade fairy sword.

Why would you spend money on things you can make yourself It's not like spirit crystals are growing on trees.

The moment those three words left his mouth, Jian Jueya instantly calmed down, realizing he had been tricked by the other party.

He bought a mid-grade fairy sword worth 20 million for 80 million. How is he going to explain this to the Grand Elder when he goes back

The deed is done, there's no turning back. The auctioneer on stage brought down the gavel with a resounding thud, sealing the deal.

Jian Jueya's face turned ashen. Flower Falling Shadow and Wei Youzhang beside him exchanged glances. They both had previously wanted to use this method to belittle Ye Bufan and vent their anger.

It seems that the other party is too cunning now, this method doesn't seem to work.

"Hua Shimei, this guy is too cunning. It seems we have to improvise…"

Wei Youzhang secretly whispered to Hua Luoying. The Meiheng Sword Sect and the Wei family had a good relationship before, and the two of them were quite familiar. Now they started discussing how to deal with Ye Bufan.

Very soon, the two reached an agreement. If the other party had set a trap for Jian Jueya, then they would use their own tactics against them and return the favor by setting a trap for them as well.

On the auction stage, under the auctioneer's guidance, the auction of the second lot commenced.

"Distinguished guests, our second treasure is named the Eight Treasures Exquisite Jade Pendant. It's a medium-grade immortal artifact. Wearing it for a long time can increase your cultivation speed by 10%."

The bidding has now begun, the starting price is 20 million mid-grade fairy crystals, and each bid must be at least 2 million…

As soon as the words left his mouth, the crowd once again plunged into a heated bidding war.

2.2 million...

2.4 million...

2.6 million...

Ye Bufan smiled faintly and raised the sign in his hand: "Thirty million."

He could tell the few guys around him hadn't given up completely, so he might as well keep playing with them. He was bored anyway.

"Three and a half million."

Huā luò yǐng shǒu le.

She came to the auction representing her sect, but she had other intentions. What she really wanted wasn't this item.

Although the Eight Treasures Exquisite Jade Pendant is said to enhance cultivation speed by 10%, it has a major limitation, only effective for those below the Immortal King realm.

Once one reaches the realm of an Immortal Lord, the effects become significantly less pronounced, so it holds little appeal for the strong.

I'm bidding now just to screw them over.

"Forty million."

As soon as she made her move, Ye Bufan immediately raised the price to 40 million.

As the two people started fighting over the price, it kept going higher and higher, so everyone else dropped out.

"Four hundred and fifty million."

Every falling flower is a premeditated rhythm, following the pace of the previous auction. Imitating Jian Jueya, adding five million.

According to her plan, she would wait until Ye Bufan gathered enough, then quit directly and ruthlessly swindle him. Even if it meant getting even.

To achieve this, he also defiantly glanced at the other person.

It seemed that he was angered by her action. Ye Bufan raised the sign in his hand without hesitation.

"I bid fifty million."

Seeing the other party announce this price, Hua Luoying hesitated. She wanted to withdraw at that moment, but after some thought, she was not quite willing to give up.

The other party took down the Eight Treasures Exquisite Jade Pendant for fifty million, although they were conned a bit, the degree wasn't severe enough. This thing normally costs around thirty million mid-grade Immortal Crystals.

"No, we can't let him get away with it so cheaply."

In Hua Luo Ying's view, the other party was in full swing and shouldn't withdraw in a short time. As long as she gave them a little stimulation, she would definitely be able to reach a new height.

Sixty million.

She directly increased the price by ten million and then provocatively looked over, "How about it Still dare to add"

In her mind, as long as she said that, the other party would definitely be enraged and might even, like Jian Jueya just now, double the price directly, offering more than 100 million.

Even if it's not that much, at least a few million will be added.

At that point, just exit directly, and this round of operations will be successfully completed.

To my surprise, the moment those words left my mouth, the other party immediately tossed aside the number plate in their hand.

"Such a piece of junk, it's worth at most thirty million. Who in their right mind would spend sixty million to buy it!"

"Uh!"

Hua Luo Ying spat out a mouthful of blood, almost spraying it out. The plot was completely different from what she had imagined.

There was no bidding reaching over 100 million, nor even a few million increase, but it was withdrawn directly.

I spent sixty million on this thing that's completely useless and got ridiculed for being crazy.

She really wanted to start over and wait for the other party to shout out fifty million before she immediately withdrew.

It's a pity that this is an auction hosted by the Zhāxīnglóu, there's no way to back out.

She looked around, hoping someone would step forward and take the hot potato off her hands.

Unfortunately, all she saw were jeers and mockery at this time. Everyone around her looked at her as if she were an idiot, and no one raised their sign to bid anymore.

The auctioneer on stage was the happiest of all; she most wanted to see this kind of bidding war between guests, and in the end, the winners were definitely herself and the auction house.

Seeing that no one else was bidding, she hammered down the gavel.

"Well done, congratulations to this fairy maiden! The Eight Treasure Exquisite Jade Pendant is now yours!"

Hua Luo Ying's face turned ashen, she was utterly enraged. Who could have possibly done thiscome difficult later.Although he wasn't afraid of Jin Zhao, he didn't want to offend the Jin family for no reason.But this girl being bullied is different. She should have directly pointed out those u...
