On the day of the auction, the event was unprecedentedly grand and crowded.
The entrance to the auction venue on Feiyan Street in Yangzhou was full of people. People who had no money were also eager to watch the excitement at the entrance of the auction venue.
The vendors selling sugar water on the street are enjoying a happy business.
Qi Xiaodie ate a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and mung bean soup and praised it endlessly. She was also speechless at the bustling crowd.
"Why are there so many people? I have never seen so many people in Wuyang City before!"
Even for a grand event like the Fengzheng Competition, there would not be as many people as today.
After all, Wuyang City is located in a remote area. It is different from a prosperous city like Yangzhou. Even though there are many martial arts masters, when it comes to the number of ordinary people, there is a huge difference.
There are as many as 600,000 households in Yangzhou alone. After all, in this world, there are still mostly ordinary people who don't know martial arts.
"In my opinion, the total number of monsters in the world is probably not as large as the number of people in Yangzhou..."
The Golden Retriever was also very emotional. It held a bowl of mung bean soup in its front paws and drank it with relish.
Although its appearance is unique, it is still very small and looks like a cat. The owner loves it and lets it be served to the table. After all, the vendor paid for it and the vendor doesn't care.
Golden Retriever Shenhuan spoke to Feng Ziyue and Qi Xiaodie through sound transmission, and no one else could hear them, so he was not afraid of frightening others.
"That's more than just..."
Feng Ziyue shook his head. There may be millions of people crowded in Yangzhou City today, but if all the monsters in the world gathered in one place, there would be millions of people.
Golden Retriever Shenhuan's casual words reminded him of the crisis of the Divine Water Tribulation, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Why, seeing so many people, are you afraid that you won't win the auction?"
The Golden Retriever curled his lips and said, "I have already said that with your current martial arts skills, it would be the end if you just robbed the Chen family. Why are you wasting so much words!"
It doesn't quite understand Feng Ziyue's current behavior. It clearly knows that the thing is there, and it also knows that it wants it. The person who owns the thing is not its opponent.
Why spend money on a good one?
Why not just grab it?
"Nonsense!" Qi Xiaodie glared at it, "With what status Xiaofeng has now, how can he steal something from a businessman? Look at Nangong and so on, if word spreads about it, he won't be afraid of being laughed at!
"
In her mind, Feng Ziyue is naturally a model hero, and naturally he cannot do such a thing.
The Golden Retriever rolled his eyes, "Xiaodie, you have become more and more human-like recently..."
In the world of monsters and beasts, there is never any duty. When it comes to things like reputation, whoever is stronger will have everything.
Whoever is the strongest in this clan is the king. Everything in the clan, including all the beautiful female beasts, belongs to the king;
Among different ethnic groups, whoever is stronger will have territory and majesty. The hierarchy is clearly defined, which is much clearer than the vague structure of human beings.
There are obviously levels of martial arts among humans, but for some reason, there are all kinds of messy relationships that the simple-minded golden-haired god can't figure out.
Qi Xiaodie, who was reincarnated in human form, is indeed becoming more and more human-like. Both her way of thinking and her moral standards are completely human.
Feng Ziyue smiled calmly, "What Xiaodie said is that the Chen family is a conscientious businessman, and I don't lack these millions of taels of gold, so why don't I buy it - but if someone wants to rob it, then
You can’t blame me for being rude!”
His words changed as he happened to see people from the Nangong family entering the auction venue with grim faces.
They were numerous, armed with weapons, and looked menacing.
"Hey! Who are those people? Why do they feel like they are not here to buy things, but rather to rob them?"
"Looks like he's from the Nangong family!"
"I heard that the young master of the Nangong family suffered a big loss at the Chen family two days ago and was carried out. Could it be that he wants to take revenge today?"
"The Chen family in Yangzhou and Nangong in Yuzhou are not afraid of anyone. Are they really going to fall out?"
The people in the market were excited, chattering non-stop, and even rushed to the door of the auction venue, wanting to watch the excitement.
These ordinary people naturally cannot understand the difference between innate masters and acquired warriors. Yangzhou Chen family and Yuzhou Nangong are both one of the most wealthy families in the world. In their opinion, they are roughly the same.
In fact, this idea is not wrong.
Although the Nangong family has several innate ancestors sitting in charge, the Yangzhou Chen family does not have a single innate master, but even so, the Nangong family does not dare to touch the Chen family easily.
This is the ingenious entanglement of forces in human society, which is different from the world of monsters and beasts, where people are purely convinced by force.
Of course, when his strength reaches Feng Ziyue's level, he can defeat ten groups with one force. No matter what kind of force it is, if he really wants to deal with it, it will be as easy as destroying the dead.
But for him, he didn't want to be like Kuangren Chu, and people in the world would only feel fear when mentioning him.
I have no friends and no collaborators.
Feng Ziyue is different from Chu Kuangren. Chu Kuangren is a lonely person. In his eyes, there are only strong and weak people. He does not need friends at all and does not care about his relatives.
As for Feng Ziyue, he himself is fearless, but he wants to make plans for the people of the Feng family and Wanjian Villa. He only uses intimidation to convince others, and makes enemies all over the world. What good does it do to them?
Therefore, what Feng Ziyue follows is the path of not offending others unless they offend me.
As for if someone offends me...
Feng Ziyue smiled coldly and looked at those imposing Nangong family warriors, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
Lend them some courage and give it a try!
It's almost time and the auction is about to officially begin.
Feng Ziyue took Xiaodie, separated the crowd, walked into the venue, waved the jade sign sent by Chen Yanqing in front of the guard, and someone immediately came up to him and took him to the VIP box on the second floor.
among.
"Hey! Did you see that the two beautiful young men and women just now are VIPs?"
"I see it, I see it! That girl is so beautiful that she is inhumane!" Several old ladies exclaimed.
"Just now they were drinking sweet-scented osmanthus and mung bean soup at my stall!"
The vendor's shout brought him a lot of business.
The VIPs at the Chen family's auction were by no means ordinary people. The common people speculated who the young man and woman were. In the end, even the prince and princess who paid a private visit incognito guessed it.
But I don’t know that in Feng Ziyue’s eyes, what do princes and princesses mean?
Even the dignified prince will be trampled under his feet and dismissed at his will; the current emperor will also bow before him.
The best in the world, the sword god in white.
He now has the most noble status on the Tianwu Continent.
However, Feng Ziyue was not in the mood to enjoy this status. The two major events of the Demon Suppressing Stone Monument and the Divine Water Tribulation were placed in front of him, making him race against time and not dare to neglect.
"clang--"
As soon as Feng Ziyue sat down in the box, he heard a crisp gong sound in the venue.
The auction event officially begins!
The box was luxuriously furnished, with four comfortable Taishi chairs covered with soft tiger skin, a rosewood coffee table in front of it, a dazzling array of various snacks, and a pot of tea with a fragrant aroma.
If the guest prefers wine instead of tea, there will be a smart boy serving him with a wine jar. If there are any orders, he will take care of them.
Everyone who can step into the VIP box of the Chen family in Yangzhou is not an ordinary person, and such service is only qualified.
However, Feng Ziyue and Xiaodie were not used to being so attentive, so they waved the boy to leave, leaving only the two of them in the box.
At this time, the auction had begun, but what was sold at this time were only some ordinary things. Of course, Feng Ziyue didn't like it, so he and Xiaodie just ate a few snacks and sat down to rest quietly.
After a while, someone knocked on the door again.
Feng Ziyue called in. It turned out to be an old acquaintance, Manager Lin who was running the auction.
Manager Lin reported to Feng Ziyue with a smile, "Mr. Chu, the eldest lady asked me to give you a message. This time, the Nangong family has prepared a total of 3.5 million taels of gold, while the other two families have only prepared 300,000 taels of gold.
It's about ten thousand taels of gold. If the young master's price is more than three and a half million taels of gold, I should be able to get that thing..."
"knew!"
Feng Ziyue nodded. This should be the limit of what Chen Yanqing could do. As a businessperson, it was already a big favor for her to break this news to Feng Ziyue.
If Feng Ziyue didn't know the other person's bottom line, he would probably have spent hundreds of thousands of taels of gold. Now that he knows it, he can just call him when the time comes, and that will save him the trouble.
Manager Lin was surprised.
He didn't know who Mr. Chu was, but he didn't expect that the eldest lady would look at him so differently.
You must know that the Chen family's business has always been impartial. If Mr. Chu hadn't been able to provide huge benefits, I'm afraid the eldest lady wouldn't be so biased.
But although Mr. Chu took out a magic pill, the details were still unclear. Why was the eldest lady so sure?
But he was also an old man who had been doing business for many years, so he naturally did not dare to say anything. After reporting the letter, he left on his own.
"Three and a half million taels of gold..."
Feng Ziyue has already spent one million taels on the white jade Guanyin bottle. Adding the three and a half million taels and the explosive stones for one million taels, the total is 5.5 million taels of gold, which is not bad.
Nothing.
He had a leisurely demeanor. Seeing that there were some calligraphy, paintings, weapons and jewelry at the auction, which looked gorgeous, he bid casually and spent some loose money to buy some gifts for his family and friends.
At noon, the auction was suspended, and banquets were served in each VIP box.
Qi Xiaodie likes to eat crabs, and at this time when autumn is high and the crabs are fat, Feng Ziyue specially ordered a table full of crabs, crab roe, crab powder, and fragrant rice wine, especially the last big plate of hairy crabs.
The size of a plate and the golden color will whet your appetite just by looking at it.
The two of them ate a few and admired them very much.
The Yangzhou Chen family was very considerate in serving this distinguished guest.
After noon, I saw that the VIP box was filled with people one after another.
Feng Ziyue also knew that in the afternoon, the important items in the auction began to officially enter the auction. These distinguished guests were not interested in the scattered items in the morning, so they came again in the afternoon.
He had nothing to do, so he accompanied Xiaodie to take a look.
The first item to be auctioned in the afternoon was the colorful crystal jade!
The originally sleepy atmosphere in the afternoon was suddenly gone.
Even the guests sitting in the ordinary seats below knew that this thing was destined not to fall into their hands, but they still showed greedy expressions and stared excitedly at the pebble that emitted colorful light.
This thing represents a life span of several decades.
In the past, people often said that money could not buy a long life, but with this colored crystal jade, even ordinary people can live for decades longer. This makes those old guys who are rich but feel unwell and have a short life expectancy.
You guys, don't you want to get it even if you lose everything?
However, even those who are a little more savvy also know that even if they really have no martial arts skills, they will not be able to keep this colorful crystal jade.
I only got it today, but maybe it will be snatched away tomorrow.
In this world, it is really a helpless thing to respect martial arts.
Even in the VIP seats, there was movement.
This thing is breathtaking and anything but ordinary.
It was also the first time for Feng Ziyue to see this treasure. He felt that it contained strong luck, not only could it prolong life, but it would also be of great help to those who got it and practiced martial arts.
The Yangzhou Chen family is really willing to give up.
Such things were sold, and Feng Ziyue also admired Chen Yanqing's courage.
If ordinary people got this thing, they would probably want to hide it and get some benefits for themselves.
But Chen Yanqing was different, and he openly put it up for auction.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. However, the Chen family, an ordinary warrior family, has been able to maintain prosperity, even after the Shenshui catastrophe. I am afraid that this is the secret of their family.
.
Such things can be sold, which means that no matter what good things the Chen family gets, they will be sold. As long as you can afford the price, you can negotiate.
As a person in the innate secret realm, there is really no need to snatch things from the hen that can lay golden eggs.
On the contrary, they also want to provide shelter for the family.
This is their way of survival.
Feng Ziyue nodded, but after hearing the auctioneer announce the reserve price, there were immediately people vying to bid first, and there was a lot of noise.
Feng Ziyue smiled slightly, picked up the jade medal, and clicked it lightly. The sound was clear and clear, but it spread throughout the entire audience.
"Three million taels of gold!"
This price increase was so huge that for a moment, the entire audience was silent.
Feng Ziyue did not increase the amount to 3.5 million taels of gold in one go. This is too obvious, and interested people will suspect that the Chen family revealed the information.
Three million gold is enough to scare away most people.
There is only one Nangong family left, and one more price is enough.
Sure enough, for a while, no one bid. Only the Nangong family gritted their teeth and offered three million one million taels of gold.
In terms of momentum, Feng Ziyue was far behind.
"Three million six hundred thousand taels of gold!"
Feng Ziyue made an understatement and added another five hundred thousand taels. The Nangong family was immediately speechless.
The whole audience did not react to these two sudden movements of rabbits and falcons. Even the auctioneer was stunned on the spot.
The whole place was silent for a long time before he remembered his responsibilities and coughed lightly, "The guest in Box C, Tianzi, bids 3.6 million taels of gold. Is there anyone who can bid higher than this?"
Everyone in the Nangong family was gnashing their teeth and looking livid, but such a bastard appeared out of nowhere, with fire in their eyes as they stared at Box C.
Feng Ziyue smiled slightly and didn't care.
If they dare to cause trouble, they will really bring shame on themselves.
"If no one bids, then this thing..."
"Four million taels of gold!"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from somewhere in the VIP box.
Four million taels of gold!
The auctioneer took a breath, his expression froze, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
