Chapter 80 Phoenix Vermilion Fruit
Chapter 80 Phoenix Vermilion Fruit
When everyone heard someone make a bid, they all turned to look.
When they saw that it was Ye Feng, many people showed amusement on their faces.
"Heh, who do we have here? It's just the useless young master of the Ye family."
"That's not surprising. With the Ye family's current strength, it's not easy for them to come here. They'll need to buy something to take back, won't they?"
"That's right. Although this stove was cheap, it was bought at a closed-door auction, so it's enough for him to brag about outside."
"..."
Ye Feng paid no attention to the discussions around him, his eyes fixed on the alchemy furnace on the platform.
He had already sensed it with his spiritual power; the material of this alchemy furnace was neither iron nor copper, which was quite special, and it also faintly exuded a mysterious aura.
He happened to be lacking a pill-making furnace, so he decided to buy one and use it.
"Little brother, is this alchemy furnace usable?"
Su Yiqing asked in a low voice from the side.
"Can."
Ye Feng nodded without offering further explanation.
Seeing this, Su Yiqing wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
Ultimately, no one bid.
The animal-patterned tripod incense burner was purchased by Ye Feng for six million.
The main reason why people didn't argue with him was that the three-legged stove didn't look like an artifact from the pre-Qin period.
If it were made of bronze, Ye Feng would never have been able to take it so easily.
Although the price wasn't high, at least it didn't go unsold, so Consort Ya breathed a sigh of relief and had her maid bring out the next item for auction.
Everyone stopped discussing and focused their attention back on the auction stage.
A maidservant carefully carried a white jade box to the center of the auction stage.
Seeing this, everyone's curiosity was piqued.
The white jade box was flawless and lustrous, with many exquisite patterns carved on it, making it appear to be quite valuable.
The fact that it's packaged in this kind of box means that the contents inside are definitely not ordinary items.
Once everyone's interest was piqued, Ya Fei stepped forward and gently opened the box. Instantly, a refreshing and pleasant fragrance wafted out, filling the entire hall.
"It smells so good!"
Everyone present was astonished, and many people sniffed hard.
Everyone became even more curious and stared intently into the box.
Inside the white jade box lay a red fruit the size of a baby's fist.
"This is?"
Puzzled looks appeared in everyone's eyes. Although they felt that the fruit was special, no one recognized it.
"Vermilion fruit?"
Ye Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is scarce, and spiritual herbs and medicines are already extremely rare. Vermilion Fruit is a relatively high-grade spiritual medicine, and it is even more difficult to find.
Moreover, he could tell that this was no ordinary vermilion fruit and must have a special purpose.
Ya Fei smiled slightly and introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Phoenix Vermilion Fruit."
"I won't keep you in suspense any longer; eating this will keep you looking young for twenty years!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Some of the women present even stood up from their seats, their eyes burning with desire.
Women care most about their appearance. Let alone staying young for twenty years, even the slightest delay in aging would make them flock to it.
The fact that they haven't aged at all in twenty years is almost driving them crazy!
Ye Feng glanced at the women beside him and saw that they all looked interested.
At this moment, Ya Fei continued, "Everyone, this Vermilion Fruit comes from the depths of the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"The team that discovered it paid a heavy price; several people died before they finally obtained it."
"It can be said that this item is unique. If you miss this opportunity, you don't know when you will be able to see it again."
Ya Fei first tried her best to stir things up before announcing the price.
"Phoenix Vermilion Fruit, starting price 200 million, each bid must be at least 10 million."
"Two hundred and ten million!"
Before Ya Fei could finish speaking, someone below started bidding.
However, this sound was immediately drowned out by another sound.
"Two hundred and twenty million!"
"Two hundred and forty million!"
"Two hundred and eighty million!"
"Three hundred million!"
......
Soon, the price broke through 300 million, but the bidding showed no signs of stopping.
The crowd remained enthusiastic, with shouts of price rising and falling, and it was all women vying for the goods.
The price continued to soar, quickly reaching 500 million, which was the highest price ever paid for all the items in the auction that day.
At this point, the bidding gradually subsided.
Although many people want it, not many people can come up with that much cash at once.
"Six hundred million."
At that moment, a calm voice rang out, and the scene fell silent.
The bid increased by 100 million, which subtly conveyed to everyone an aura of determination to win.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice, only to find that the one who made the bid was Su Yiqing.
"No wonder even Master Jiang treats him with such respect. This kind of self-assured attitude is something most people don't have."
Many people sighed inwardly.
After Su Yiqing spoke, no one else bid.
On the one hand, people felt that she had a powerful background and did not want to get involved with such an important person because of the bidding.
Furthermore, even if you make an offer, you may not be able to outbid the other party.
In the end, you won't get what you want, and you'll have offended the other party for no reason, which would be a loss.
Just when everyone thought it was over and the Phoenix Vermilion Fruit was about to fall into Su Yiqing's hands...
"Seven hundred million."
Suddenly, a casual voice rang out.
Everyone was stunned and turned to look, only to find that it was Qi Yuxi sitting at the table next to Su Yiqing.
Everyone was very curious: when did these two beauties arrive in Zhonghai? Why had they never seen them before?
Su Yiqing frowned and glanced at Qi Yuxi, ignoring her, and continued to raise the price.
"Eight hundred million."
Qi Yuxi smiled faintly: "Nine hundred million."
Her voice was nonchalant, but the more nonchalant it was, the more provocative it became.
"One billion!"
Su Yiqing's voice became more forceful.
"1.1 billion".
Qi Yuxi slowly added another 100 million.
Everyone present was stunned by what they saw.
This is...this is fucking extravagant!
Do these two women see money as just worthless paper?
They added 100 million, but it felt like adding one dollar!
The two bid for several more rounds, and finally Qi Yuxi raised the price to 1.5 billion.
Su Yiqing frowned and looked at her: "Qi Yuxi, do you really have to argue with me here?"
Instead of answering, Qi Yuxi asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"
"Auctions are based on the principle of the highest bidder winning; how can there be any talk of rivalry?"
Su Yiqing's face turned cold, clearly indicating that she had been provoked by the other party.
Jiang Wenyuan watched from the second floor, a bitter smile appearing on his face.
Both women came from families no less powerful than the Jiang family, and he was unwilling to offend either of them.
However, this kind of fighting can't go on forever. If they really get angry, how will they handle the situation?
Just as he was about to come downstairs to persuade the two women.
Ye Feng raised his hand: "Gentlemen, arguing like this won't solve anything. Why don't you listen to what I have to say?"
Su Yiqing turned to him and asked, "Little brother, do you have any ideas?"
Qi Yuxi's face also showed interest, wanting to hear what he had to say...
