Chapter 1742: Are you broke?

ttle was much more harmonious. Although Feng Tianxiang had an absolute advantage in strength, he gave the royal family enough face. After fighting for a hundred moves, he finally defeated his opponent...Next came the third item up for auction. The auctioneer gave a brief introduction, and finally said, "The Hao Ran Righteous Qi Manual, a low-grade Earth rank martial art, starting bid 20 million gold coins, each increase not less than 2 million gold coins…"

The entire auction hall was once again abuzz with excitement. Generally speaking, Xuan-rank martial arts were already extremely rare, and ordinary people could only cultivate inferior Huang-rank martial arts.

And the martial arts of the Earth Rank are extremely rare, even the low-grade ones are priceless, for a time everyone was eager to move.

22 million...

"24 million..."

"30 million..."

Everyone was bidding while glancing at He Changsheng beside them, wondering if the young master would participate this time.

As everyone knows, only if this young master didn't participate could they possibly win this item. However, the result was disappointing for them.

He Changsheng suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "I bid 50 million!"

The entire place fell silent, everyone immediately retreated, and at the same time their eyes focused back on Ye Bufan. I was wondering if this masked man would continue to clash with Young Master He.

"80 million!"

As expected, He Changsheng didn't bid. Ye Bufan remained silent. As soon as He Changsheng placed his bid, he immediately raised the sign and increased the price by 30 million.

Now even a fool can see that the other party is targeting Young Master He.

"One hundred million."

He Changsheng was also so angry that his teeth were itching. According to his plan, he would bid one hundred million, and the other party would add 50 million.

Then bid two hundred million yourself, and wait for the other party to raise the price to 250 million, or three hundred million, then withdraw directly, screwing them over.

"Two hundred million!"

Ye Bufan kept raising the price, and directly added another 100 million.

"Um..."

He Changsheng was momentarily stunned. His plan had been going smoothly, but the other party hadn't followed his designed script. They had suddenly raised the price to two hundred million.

"250 million!"

After a moment's hesitation, he raised the sign again.

Based on past experience, the other party should not withdraw easily. In his view, he called for 250 million, and Ye Bufan either needs to call for 300 million or 280 million, waiting for him to call 300 million.

No matter what choice the other party makes, just exit directly yourself. Then see how they handle the situation.

Everyone who comes here has some means, but 300 million yuan is no small sum. Ordinary people simply can't afford it.

A cold smile played at the corner of his lips, but to his surprise, there was no response from the other party after waiting for a long time.

Looking back, I saw that they had already taken the license plate and put it on the table in front of them. They didn't seem to have any intention of holding up the sign anymore.

""

He Changsheng suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly. Normally, he didn't lack kung fu at all. The reason he participated in this auction was to pit the other party against each other.

The result turned out well, the other party didn't scam at all, and I spent another 2.5 billion.

Soon, the auctioneer at the front stage brought down his gavel. The technique belonged to him now.

Damn it, I don't believe I can't get you.

He Changsheng was almost driven mad by anger, glaring at Ye Bufan with gritted teeth.

The fourth item went up for auction, and he used the same tactic again. But for some reason, Ye Bufan always managed to outbid him and withdraw first, leaving the item ultimately his.

Fù Hǎishān's heart was filled with delight as he gazed upon the private room.

"Master, this Mr. Ye is truly a valued guest of our Ju Bao Pavilion. With his actions, He Changsheng has returned all the favors he previously took advantage of, and we have made a substantial profit."

Luo Yudie also smiled brightly: "He Changsheng still wants to trick people, but unfortunately his cultivation base is too poor. This little guy is really cunning and won't suffer any losses."

All the other attendees had become spectators, watching the drama unfold. Since the auction started, every item had been purchased by the young master of the He family, while they hadn't managed to get their hands on anything.

Soon it was the sixth lot, the very amulet I'd had my eye on earlier.

Ye Bufan's heart was filled with excitement. The reason he had fought against He Changsheng for so long before was two-fold: he disliked the other party, and he also wanted to create hype for himself. His goal was to acquire the treasure he coveted at the lowest possible price.

Distinguished guests, this armor is no ordinary treasure. It can withstand the full force of a powerful attack from a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, and it can withstand three such attacks.

Most of you here are warriors, and you must know the value of this treasure. It can save lives in a critical moment.

Now the auction begins, the starting price is 10 million gold coins, each increase must be at least 1 million…

The auction began, but the scene remained eerily quiet.

It's not that this treasure isn't attractive, but everyone has discovered that no matter how they participate, they can only be a passerby in the end, unable to even touch the treasure's fur.

After a moment, no one raised their paddles. A chill fell over the entire auction hall.

Ye Bufan looked at He Changsheng: "He Shao, why aren't you bidding I'm still waiting to compete with you."

He Longsheng snorted coldly, and turned his head away directly. It wasn't that he didn't want to bid, but his master had just whispered to him that all the money they brought was spent.

Although the He family is a prominent and wealthy clan, and although he brought a whopping 10 billion gold coins this time, it's still not enough to cover their recent extravagant spending.

Even just bidding for the first divine core pill cost a whopping 400 million gold coins. Although the prices of the subsequent items dropped, there were so many of them that after several rounds, his pockets were completely empty.

Now he can't even come up with a starting bid of 10 million gold coins, let alone hundreds of millions.

In this case, the best thing to do is not to participate in the auction. Otherwise, you might end up winning something you can't afford, and then the entire He family would be ruined.

That's exactly why He Changsheng simply closed his mouth and didn't have the courage to raise a placard.

Seeing his reaction, Ye Bufan chuckled and directly raised the number plate in his hand: "Then I'll take it first."

"I bid 11 million!"

After he announced this price, everyone present looked at each other in astonishment. Adding only 1 million was clearly waiting for He Changsheng to bid, openly challenging the other party.

Since the immortals are fighting, these little fish and shrimp shouldn't get involved, otherwise they'll end up dying a terrible death.

With this idea in mind, the entire market was silent, with no one bidding.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Guest number 36 has offered 11 million. Are there any higher bids This is a priceless treasure..."

Even though the auctioneer spoke eloquently, the audience remained unmoved after his lengthy speech, all their eyes fixed on He Changsheng.

But He Changsheng didn't have any money in his pocket, so he didn't dare to bid.

The auctioneer sighed, reluctantly lowering the hammer in his hand.

Thus, the protective spirit armor was sold for 11 million.

Ye Bufan was also overjoyed in his heart. He didn't expect to get the armor so easily. It seemed that all his previous efforts had not been in vain.

He put away the armor the female attendant had brought him, and with a playful tone towards He Changsheng, he said: "Young Master He, you're disappointing me like this. Don't tell me you're broke"c, continuously launching flower petals from her hand to form a spherical enclosure, blocking all the vines and vegetation outside.At the same time, the three people stood on a rock together, and they...
