“If it’s too difficult, then forget it,” Ye Fan signaled. “I’ll find a way myself.”
“One moment, please.” Ye Fan beckoned to a maidservant inside the room.
“Little Brother Ye, no worries!” Bu Queqian stopped him. “Leave it to me!”
His aunt Gu made him afraid, but he didn’t want to lose face in front of Ye Fan.
Otherwise, how could he take this younger brother in?!
“Two thousand!” Bu Queqian hunched his neck and made a new offer.
“Great nephew, are you determined to fight with your aunt?” The female voice opposite chuckled. “Three thousand.”
“Three thousand five!”
“Five thousand.”
…
The guests on the first floor kept glancing at Bu Queqian’s private room, then at the female cultivator’s private room.
It felt so exciting…
Soon, the other side raised the price to ten thousand top-grade spirit stones.
Bu Queqian opened his mouth several times but couldn’t shout again.
Ten thousand top-grade spirit stones were already enough to make his heart ache.
Taking Ye Fan as a subordinate was just a whim; he couldn’t afford to lose his entire fortune.
Coupled with his fear of his aunt, Bu Queqian had no choice but to give up.
“Little Brother Ye, I left in such a hurry this time and didn’t bring much money with me…” The more Bu Queqian explained, the softer his voice became.
He couldn’t help it; he couldn’t come up with any more excuses…
Cultivators’ fortunes were all in their spatial rings; there was no such ridiculous thing as not bringing enough money when going out…
The room fell silent.
Bu Queqian was so embarrassed he almost blushed…
“Brother Bu, you don’t need to worry.” Ye Fan beckoned to the maidservant inside again. “Your auction house should accept items as payment, right?”
“Yes, esteemed guest,” the maidservant replied politely.
“Then take this to your appraiser.” Ye Fan said, pulling a pill from his ring. “See how many top-grade spirit stones it can offset.”
When the maidservant saw the pill, she instantly trembled!
Having worked at the auction house for so long, she had basic discerning skills.
Although she couldn’t identify the specific pill, just by looking at its radiant glow and misty aura, she knew it was absolutely top-tier!
It was a top-tier item she had never seen in her career!
“Esteemed guest, do you have a porcelain bottle or something similar…” the maidservant asked timidly, not daring to take it.
The finer the pill, the more particular the preservation.
Direct exposure could lead to issues like the loss of medicinal properties.
If she were to take it directly with her hands and something unexpected happened later…
She couldn’t afford to compensate even if she sold herself…
Ye Fan rummaged in his ring and pulled out a small porcelain bottle, casually placing the pill inside.
“Esteemed guest, please wait…” The maidservant took the porcelain bottle and carefully left the room.
“Great nephew, if you run out of money, tell your aunt,” the female voice opposite chuckled. “Aunt will lend you some.”
Bu Queqian whispered a few words to a maidservant.
The maidservant quickly sent a message to the auctioneer.
“A guest from VIP room 10 has something to be appraised; everyone, please wait a moment.” After receiving the message, the auctioneer announced.
VIP customers had such privileges.
Of course.
If the item brought out later turned out to be worthless, their VIP credit would be reduced.
In severe cases, their VIP status could even be revoked.
However, Bu Queqian had great confidence in Ye Fan’s pill!
Although he was a sham Void Glimpse realm cultivator, his eyes were very sharp.
The Holy Land had auctioned a seventh-grade pill before, and it sold for a high price of one hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones.
If it weren't for the pill having too many side effects, the final price would have been far more than one hundred thousand.
The pill Ye Fan brought out was clearly more impressive than that one!
Just taking one sniff earlier had accelerated his internal energy circulation by several times!
He was naturally shocked.
However, after the shock, there was more embarrassment…
To be frank, his entire fortune wasn’t enough to buy this pill.
Thinking about his previous performance…
It was like a beggar showing off his wealth in front of the richest man…
Bu Queqian wished he could find a hole to crawl into…
The cultivators in the hall naturally had no objections.
Such temporary additions were rare, and they might even witness something amazing today!
Third floor of the auction house.
“Mr. Wu, a VIP guest has sent something,” the maidservant knocked on the door and asked for permission.
“Bring it in,” a voice replied from inside.
After placing the pill down, the maidservant left.
Mr. Wu didn’t pay much attention.
He was here to relax and just happened to pass by the branch of the Falling Star City Auction House.
Although it was a branch of the Holy Land, such small places usually didn’t have anything good.
Things that were added in temporarily at such a place were probably not good either.
However, when the pill was poured out, Mr. Wu was stunned.
“This color, this aroma…”
Mr. Wu’s expression immediately turned serious, and he took out a set of appraisal tools from his ring.
Fifteen minutes later.
“Eighth-grade Profound Brilliance Pill?” Mr. Wu mumbled as if possessed. “But the refining techniques for eighth-grade pills have long been lost. How is this possible…”
The waiting time was boring.
Ye Fan probed into his ring with his spiritual power, continuing his search.
His understanding of the prices in the cultivation world was limited to his experience from his previous ninety-nine lives.
Since transmigrating to this life, he hadn’t really studied the market.
Was an eighth-grade pill not enough?
He should have taken out a few more earlier…
Thinking this, Ye Fan prepared to ask the maidservant to bring a few more.
The door to the private room opened, and the same maidservant walked in.
“Esteemed guest, our auction house is prepared to purchase your pill,” the maidservant said cautiously. “We are offering a price of 200,000 top-grade spirit stones. What do you think of this price…”
“All right,” Ye Fan agreed without hesitation.
He was selling the pill just to bid on the granddaughter’s遺物; he didn’t care about the amount of money.
He had plenty of such items in his ring anyway.
Let alone eighth-grade, he had a lot of tenth-grade and above.
Ye Fan’s words made Bu Queqian’s body tremble!
This dashing demeanor!
This carefree attitude of not caring about money!
This was how a rich person should be!
…
At this moment, Bu Queqian’s mindset shifted slightly.
His gaze towards Ye Fan became even more fervent!
“Then please help me raise the bid,” Ye Fan signaled to the maidservant.
“May I ask the esteemed guest… how much do you want to raise it by?” the maidservant asked nervously.
With an initial bid of 200,000 top-grade spirit stones, he was definitely a major patron!
If she didn’t serve him well, no one could save her…
“Add it all.” Ye Fan replied casually.
“Esteemed guest…” The maidservant swallowed hard. “Two hundred thousand… add it all?”
“Mm,” Ye Fan replied calmly.
“I will!” Bu Queqian’s spirits suddenly lifted, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, “Two hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones!”
Bu Queqian shouted with such satisfaction!
It was as if he were the one paying for the auction!
After shouting, Bu Queqian felt incredibly good!
“Whoosh—!”
The auction house exploded!
From ten thousand directly to two hundred thousand?!
Has the world gone mad, or have I gone mad?!
Damn it!
Is this the happiness of the rich…
…
