Chapter 201: Keep Being Tricked
Boom…
A fierce anger burst out from the VIP room of Yellow Crane Gate, and the whole auction hall could feel Gou Zheng’s rage at this moment.
“You bastard, I will kill him sooner or later. I, Gou Zheng, swear not to be human if I don’t kill Yun Yi.”
Gou Zheng was furious. Although he obtained the Six Yang Holy Water, he still lost, suffering a big loss at the hands of Yun Yi again. Yun Yi’s goal was to trick him, and now he spent three hundred thousand on three drops of Six Yang Holy Water, which could be called a heavy loss, just as Yun Yi wanted.
As the Young Sect Leader of Yellow Crane Gate, Gou Zheng was used to a life of comfort, and everyone respected him. It could be said that he had never faced a loss in his life.
This time at Peace Villa, from the beginning until now, he had been suffering losses because of Yun Yi. First, he lost face over the Wash Marrow Pill incident, then he lost one hundred fifty thousand spirit stones at Qiao Shaoshan’s birthday celebration, and now, just as the auction started, he was tricked hard by Yun Yi. How could Gou Zheng endure this?
“I must say, buddy, you have really big courage. Don’t you fear that Gou Zheng will keep raising the bid?”
Duan Tianye gave a thumbs up to Yun Yi, deeply impressed.
Tricks like this required not only strong mental strength but also great courage, especially at an auction where tricking others could backfire on oneself.
“The Young Sect Leader of the prestigious Yellow Crane Gate has suffered many losses at my hands. If he fails to win this first treasure today against me, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing? So, do you think he will give up?”
Yun Yi smiled; although their time together was short, he understood very well who Gou Zheng was.
Xiao Ruoshui and Duan Tianye were both impressed. Facing such a clever Yun Yi, all they could do was admire him.
Xiao Ruoshui even felt relieved that Yun Yi was from the Yanwu family. Such a talent, if he belonged to another force, the Yanwu family would surely be unable to sleep peacefully.
The auction went on, and even if Gou Zheng held a grudge against Yun Yi, he dared not act here.
After the Six Yang Holy Water, the following auction items were of much lower quality, mostly common items.
Below in the auction hall, rogue cultivators and small to medium-sized forces were all vying for the treasures, creating a lively scene.
In the VIP room on the third floor, however, there was a quiet atmosphere, as hardly anyone made a move since they were not interested in common treasures.
“The next item for auction is a treasure, the Ice Jade Pill, a high-quality Ling Level elixir, starting bid of three hundred thousand.”
Leng Ji took out the next treasure, which was an Ice Jade Pill personally crafted by the Mystic Hand Pill Lord. This elixir was made specifically for Spirit Cultivators with a Cold Spirit Body. A high-quality Ling Level elixir like this was worth around five hundred thousand.
After hearing Leng Ji announce the starting bid for the Ice Jade Pill, Yun Yi couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened. He had many spirit stones in his hand, but it still wasn’t enough to afford this low price. He originally thought he was rich, but now he realized he was just poor.
Compared to powerful forces, hundreds of thousands of lower-grade spirit stones were truly insignificant; their wealth was immeasurable.
“Three hundred fifty thousand.”
As soon as Leng Ji finished speaking, Yu Tianyi’s voice rang out. He immediately shouted the price of three hundred fifty thousand, raising it by fifty thousand. His intention was clear: he wanted everyone to know that he must have the Ice Jade Pill, and anyone who competed with him was opposing the Yellow Crane Gate.
And indeed, it happened that after Yu Tianyi announced the price of three hundred fifty thousand, the venue fell silent.
Everyone knew that the Young Sect Leader of the Yellow Crane Gate in Xuanzhou State was a Cold Spirit Body. The Ice Heart Saliva that he had been set on before was taken by Yun Yi, and now that an Ice Jade Pill had finally appeared, Yu Tianyi certainly couldn’t let it slip away.
“Four hundred thousand.”
Just when Yu Tianyi was feeling proud, a voice suddenly echoed again from VIP Room No. 6.
“What?”
Yu Tianyi became very angry and quickly stood up from his seat.
“It’s that little brat again.”
Next to Yu Tianyi, a disciple from Yellow Crane Gate said fiercely.
“Fuck, that guy is making a move again. It better not be another scam.”
“This is too much, how is it him again?”
“It’s still that Yun Yi. I heard he has a serious feud with Yellow Crane Gate from both provinces, and he isn’t even a Cold Spirit Body. This Ice Jade Pill only works for Cold Spirit Bodies. He deliberately raised the price right after Yu Tianyi made his announcement, clearly trying to trick us again.”
……
Everyone loved to watch the excitement, and all eyes turned to the No. 6 VIP room.
“Four hundred thirty thousand.”
Yu Tianyi gritted his teeth and continued to raise the bid.
“Five hundred thousand.”
Yun Yi confidently raised the price, pushing it to a peak; five hundred thousand was far beyond the value of the Ice Jade Pill.
“Yun Yi, don’t go too far. You are not the Cold Spirit Body; what do you need the Ice Jade Pill for?”
Yu Tianyi shouted loudly, unable to control his anger.
“Young Sect Leader, please mind your emotions. You can choose to stop bidding, but do not threaten your opponent.”
Leng Ji said to the Yellow Crane Gate VIP room.
“Yu Tianyi, if you can’t afford it, just give up. I’m set on this Ice Jade Pill today. If you can grab it, then go ahead, but if you can’t, accept defeat. Each to their own skill.”
Yun Yi said nonchalantly, and his words showed that he was determined to have the Ice Jade Pill.
His goal was clear: to trick Yu Tianyi. Yun Yi would not hold back against an enemy who wanted to kill him.
“It’s at five hundred thousand. Yun Yi, you might end up with it.”
Duan Tianye said.
“It’s fine if I do.”
Yun Yi shrugged and looked relaxed. If he did end up with the Ice Jade Pill, he could just give it to Little Yao. Little Yao had the Xuan Spirit Cold Body, and this Ice Jade Pill would be very helpful for her.
But how could Yu Tianyi give up?
He had finally found a pill suitable for his constitution, and losing the Ice Heart Saliva had always troubled him.
“Alright, kid, today I am going to challenge you. I want to see how brave you are to make a bid against me, six hundred thousand.”
Yu Tianyi lost control of his emotions, his anger surged to his head, just like before with Gou Zheng, he lost his sanity.
“Young Sect Leader.”
Someone stepped forward to offer comfort.
“Be quiet, I want to see if that kid dares to shout a higher bid.”
Yu Tianyi gritted his teeth.
“Nine hundred thousand.”
However, as soon as Yu Tianyi finished speaking, the price of nine hundred thousand was called out by Yun Yi. This time, he directly raised it by three hundred thousand, pushing Yu Tianyi to a dead end.
“Oh my, nine hundred thousand! Does this guy have that many spirit stones?”
“It’s so fierce, the Ice Jade Pill has actually been raised to a sky-high price of nine hundred thousand. I guess Yu Tianyi has to give up now, right?”
“It’s so exciting, today’s auction was definitely worth coming to.”
……
The whole crowd gasped, nine hundred thousand was such a high price. If Yu Tianyi continued to bid, it would reach one million.
