Chapter 202: The King of Pits, the Stirring Stick
The atmosphere became extremely tense. Even if Yu Tianyi had a lot of money, and even if he was filled with anger, he had to think carefully about such a high price. After all, the Yellow Crane Gate had given him a limited budget for this auction. One million was easy to take out, but if it wasn’t worth it, that wouldn’t be good.
“Yu Tianyi, if you shout out a price of one million, this Ice Jade Pill will belong to you. If you give up, then it will be mine. Ninety thousand? I, Yun Yi, don’t care at all.”
Yun Yi’s voice resounded again at this moment, and his words were undoubtedly like adding fuel to the already tense Yu Tianyi.
“Yun Yi, do you think I, Yu Tianyi, am afraid of you? In front of me, you’re nothing. If you don’t care about ninety thousand, do you think I care about one million? I’ll bid one million, go ahead and raise your bid if you dare.”
Yu Tianyi was completely furious. Provoked by Yun Yi, he really shouted a price of one million.
“Haha, then congratulations to the Young Sect Leader! A million for the pill, it must be used in the right place!”
Yun Yi laughed again.
“Damn it, I must kill him.”
Yu Tianyi’s fists cracked as he clenched them, a strong chill overflowed from his body, and the entire VIP room turned into an ice cave, making everyone around shiver.
First Gou Zheng, then Yu Tianyi; the Yellow Crane Gate from two states was tricked by Yun Yi twice, turning the two who got the treasures into the town’s laughingstock. No matter what, they became the fools of the story.
In the entire Martial-arts Arena, the one who laughed the hardest was definitely Leng Ji.
Leng Ji already had a good impression of Yun Yi, and now liked him even more. Those who didn’t know might think Yun Yi was a plant at the auction.
The auction continued, after showcasing some ordinary treasures, it was more than halfway through, and the treasures that followed were almost all good ones.
The major powers on the third floor were competing with each other.
In this competition, Room Six often shouted bids, especially when other powers really wanted a certain treasure; in such cases, the voice that everyone was waiting for would ring out again.
In the end, Yun Yi managed to trick five major powers: Xuanzhou State, the Wang Family, Liuyun Sect, and Xianzhou State’s Corpse Yin Sect.
Including the two from Yellow Crane Gate before, all five major powers were grinding their teeth at Yun Yi, wishing they could eat him alive; Yun Yi drove up the prices and made them all gullible fools.
The treasures Yun Yi chose to raise prices on were all things they needed to obtain, so even knowing they were being tricked, they could not give up.
At this point, Yun Yi successfully gained two titles: the King of Tricks and the Troublemaker.
By the end, whenever Yun Yi shouted a bid, the others did not dare to continue bidding, which allowed Xiao Ruoshui to easily get two treasures for the Yanwu family.
Xiao Ruoshui was all smiles and praised Yun Yi endlessly.
“Everyone, please be quiet; the auction must continue. The next treasure is a rare stone.”
Leng Ji waved her hand and took out a large pale blue stone. The stone was as tall as a person, its shape was strange, but no one could tell what this stone really was.
“This odd stone is incredibly hard. I, from Peace Villa, cannot determine its type, but it must have something special about it. The starting price is one hundred thousand.”
Leng Ji said.
“Fuck, one hundred thousand for a stone? Who would buy that?”
“Exactly! Even if this stone is very valuable, we have no idea what it is, and buying it would be useless. Spending one hundred thousand for nothing!”
“I don’t think anyone will buy this stone; nobody wants to be a fool.”
…
Voices of discussion arose. No one would risk one hundred thousand spirit stones on a stone whose purpose was unknown.
“Little Yun, buy this stone.”
Black Wind spoke up; this was the first time he had said anything since the auction began.
“120,000.”
Yun Yi shouted the price without hesitation. If Black Wind said he could buy it, it must be true; this strange stone seemed to be a treasure.
As soon as they heard Yun Yi call out the price, everyone else fell silent. Even the people in the VIP room stayed quiet, worried that this guy might be trying to raise the price on purpose to trick them.
They could tolerate being tricked with other treasures, but who would want to spend over a hundred thousand on a stone that looked like nothing?
What people feared most was calling out a higher price, only for Yun Yi to back out, leaving the stone in their hands.
In the end, Yun Yi happily secured a stone without facing any obstacles.
“Fuck, Little Yun, I’ve figured you out! You have a clever trick. First, you trick them, and then as soon as you speak up, everyone thinks there’s a scheme, so they don’t dare compete with you. You get what you want for the least amount of money! You sly guy, I like it, haha!”
Duan Tianye laughed heartily and was in awe of Yun Yi.
After they became familiar with each other, he and Xiao Ruoshui started to call Yun Yi “Little Yun,” following Black Wind’s lead, which sounded friendlier.
“Black Wind, what treasure is inside that stone?”
Yun Yi asked curiously.
“Inside the strange stone, there is a large piece of Taiyi Metal Essence. These people cannot see the importance of it with their ordinary eyes. Taiyi Metal Essence is the true priceless treasure. If you want to create your own War Weapon in the future, using Taiyi Metal Essence can greatly improve its quality.”
Black Wind said.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruoshui and Duan Tianye’s eyes brightened; they had both heard of Taiyi Metal Essence, which is the highest quality material for making War Weapons. It can be said to be something out of legend, and it is very hard to obtain.
Yun Yi getting a large piece of Taiyi Metal Essence for one hundred twenty thousand is simply a huge profit.
“Next, the starting price for the Demon Spirit from the Lingyuan Realm Ground Demon is one hundred thousand.”
Leng Ji took out a Demon Spirit, which was the size of a fist and radiated a chilling, swirling demonic energy.
“Finally, I have found the treasure I need. The Ground Demon is a rare kind of demon. The Ground Demon’s Demon Spirit has no effect on ordinary people, but for me, it brings endless benefits. If I can refine this Ground Demon, my level can directly reach the ninth grade of the Innate Realm. It is truly a treasure among treasures.”
Duan Tianye looked at the Ground Demon’s Demon Spirit on the auction stage, filled with excitement. This time at the auction, if he could get the Ground Demon’s Demon Spirit, it would be worth the trip.
The Demon Spirit is useless to others, but for Duan Tianye, who has the Heavenly Demon Physique, it brings endless benefits.
“One hundred and ten thousand.”
Someone called out a bid before Duan Tianye. Besides him, there was someone else who also wanted this Demon Spirit.
