"Two hundred thousand and one!" someone from one of the boxes suddenly shouted.
After a brief lull in the scramble for Qi Gathering Powder, more and more people began to bid.
The price soared to 280,000 and is still increasing.
But suddenly, a shout filled with fighting spirit resounded throughout the auction hall.
"My Wang family contributed 300,000!"
As soon as this voice came out, many people couldn't help but turn around and look up at the box above. Hearing that it was the Jia Lie family of Wutan City, many people in the venue couldn't help but sigh with regret.
Even if they had enough funds, they didn't have the strength to compete with the three major families. After all, in Wutan City, even the Jia Lie family which had become weaker had Dou Shi and Da Dou Shi. There was also rumor about a Dou Ling ancestor.
For a force, although economy is also the source of a family's strength, if there is no armed force to protect money, it is equivalent to not having a gun to protect itself. Even if there is a lot of money, it is difficult to stand upright.
After the Jia Lie family, one of the three major families, spoke out, people from other forces wisely did not participate in the competition with the Jia Lie family, for fear of being targeted by the Jia Lie family.
Ya Fei on the stage kept maintaining a charming smile.
She was very happy that these people were competing so hard. After all, in her opinion, these people were like fat sheep. If they were slaughtered, a lot of gold coins would pop out.
Ya Fei asked twice in succession and was about to knock the small hammer in his hand to make the final decision when another sound resounded throughout the venue, but this time it was even louder and much more frightening than the Wang family's.
"My Xiao family,, contributed 330,000 gold coins."
The auction hall suddenly became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The Xiao family had been the talk of the town in Wutan City recently.
Not only did they hire an Alchemist but they also sell a bunch of low grade but high quality pills at low price.
The Wutan city can now said to be dominated by Xiao family.
Xiao family grew too much with Xiao Feng's silent care and sales of pills. So their money power was overwhelming
With such a Big Buddha, who would dare to come out and bid for it? Aren't you afraid that Xiao family will not sell things to you.
In the box where the Jia Lie family was, the head of the Jia Loe family, a tall and strong middle-aged man, was so angry that he crushed the wooden handle of the chair. He looked in the direction of the Xiao family's box and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
Xiao Feng glanced at the Xiao family box but then continued to look at Ya Fei.
If Xiao Zhan bought this thing then he brought it. It didn't matter.
The next items to be auctioned were some rare weapons and fighting techniques.
Xiao Feng didn't have interest in these, while the small forces below were the ones fighting for them the most.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is rather strange. We acquired it by chance and it has been piled in the warehouse. We don't know what it is used for, but after analysis by our appraisers, it looks a bit like some kind of key."
Ya Fei lifted the brocade cloth on the table, and suddenly, a small bronze cube covered with rust appeared in the sight of everyone in the auction hall.
Looking at that small piece of broken iron, there was a lot of booing in the auction hall.
Ya Fei already knew that this kind of situation would occur in an auction, but since the dust was still there, she might as well take it out and give it a try.
Ya Fei carefully took the bronze iron block and showed it to everyone from many aspects.
Pointing to a pattern in the middle of one side that was almost worn away, she said with a smile: "Although we don't know the purpose of this iron block or what is hidden inside, we think this pattern here may be an ancient relic. If someone is willing to buy it and try it out, maybe what they find inside will cause a sensation in the entire Jia Ma Empire and maybe even the north western continent."
"Tsk!"
Many small leaders of various forces sneered at Ya Fei's words.
Some who hoped to win the smile of a beauty were thinking of buying such a piece of rotten iron, maybe they could get the contact information of the beauty.
Of course, not all the people present were ignorant of the value of the goods.
When Xiao Feng saw the small bronze block, he was dumbfounded.
His soul power couldn't prove it.
You know he has reached half step Spiritual realm but even his soul can't detect it.
Thus alone meant this thing was extraordinary.
But why is something like this in Wutan City?
It didn't appear in the original novel.
Xiao Feng remembered very well that there was no such key thing related to ancient relic in the original novel.
Anyways, it's better to buy it than not buying it.
He can figure out the hidden secrets slowly.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng smiled.
Ya Fei had thought about this kind of scene earlier, but the scene was still a little scary because it was so quiet, and she didn't want to spend a lot of effort to beautify the item.
If this item is not discovered to be useful, it will indeed be a waste.
However, Ya Fei always feels that it will be of great use in the future, so she offered a relatively high price. If no one bids for it, then just let it go unsold.
"The minimum auction price for this bronze block is 10,000 gold coins, and the minimum bid increase is 1,000 gold coins each time. Please bid!"
As Ya Fei's voice fell, the auction hall became even quieter. Who on earth would spend 10,000 gold coins to buy a rusty piece of iron that no one even knew whether it was real or fake? Even if one had money, they wouldn't spend it like this.
If swearing doesn't get you "asked to leave", some people would just start swearing and just get rid of this piece of trash.
Ya Fei looked at the quiet venue and could only sigh helplessly. Just when she was about to say that the item had failed to sell, a voice suddenly rang out.
"10,000"
A faint voice broke the silence of the hall. All of a sudden, countless eyes moved in the direction of the voice and finally stopped at the box upstairs. Some complaints also sounded.
"Is this guy mentally ill? He actually plans to spend 10,000 gold coins to buy such a piece of iron and take it home as a decoration?"
"Shh, speak softly, that's a special box. Only strong ones can go there..."
Everyone thought it might be piece of scrape and summer thought it might be valuable and someone knew the goods.
Some thought a fool was trying to buy beauty's smile.
By in the end, no one else choose bid for it.
Ya Fei smashed the auction hammer in her hand and said, "Congratulations to Box 11 for winning this bronze cube."
Before asking the maid to take back the item, Ya Fei inadvertently glanced at Xiao Feng upstairs.
She would go to take over the transaction with Xiao Feng in person later. She especially wanted to know what this person wanted to do with the bronze cube, and she also wanted to test this unpredictable guy.
The auction was still going on. After the bronze block, there were some other good items that attracted the bidding of the people present. Of course, the one that really caused a sensation in the audience was the finale item.
Even Xiao Feng was a little surprised that the finale of this auction was actually the low-grade Xuan level fighting technique, the Nine Dragon Thunder Gang, a thunder-attributed fighting technique.
This Wutan City is small. The highest technique in there families is low grade Xuan.
When it came out, many forces scrambled for it and Xiao family was no exception.
