Chapter 298: A Price Kills You

On the day of the auction, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and the "crowd" was surging.

The entrance of the auction venue on Feiyan Street in Yangzhou was full of people, and the people who had no money were also at the door of the auction venue, watching the excitement.

The street vendors selling sugar water are doing so well that they are happily thriving.

Qi Xiaodie ate a bowl of osmanthus mung bean soup and praised it endlessly, and was also stunned by the bustling crowd.

"Why are there so many people? I have never seen so many people in Wuyang City before!"

Even if it is a grand event like Feng Zheng Dabi, there is no such flow of people as today.

After all, Wuyang City is located in a remote area, which is different from a prosperous city like Yangzhou, even though there are many martial arts masters, but when it comes to the number of ordinary people, it is too far behind.

In Yangzhou alone, there are as many as 600,000 households, and in this world, after all, there are still ordinary people who do not know martial arts.

"Uncle Ben, in the eyes of all the demon beasts in the whole world combined, there are probably not as many people as Yangzhou on this day......"

Jin "Mao" Shenqi also sighed a lot, it held a bowl of mung bean soup with its front paws, and drank it with relish.

Although its shape is peculiar, it is very small after all, and it looks like a cat, and the owner loves it and lets it be served, but it is paid anyway, and the vendor does not care.

Jin "Mao" Shen Qi used the method of sound transmission to talk to Feng Ziyue and Qi Xiaodie, and no one else could hear him, but he was not afraid of frightening others.

"That's not ......"

Feng Ziyue shook his head, there may be millions of people in Yangzhou City today, but if the demon beasts in the whole world gather together, there will be millions of people.

Jin Mao's words casually reminded him of the crisis of the Divine Water Tribulation, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Why, seeing so many people, I'm afraid that the auction will not win?"

Jin Mao' Shen Xuan pursed his lips, "Uncle Ben has already said that with your current martial arts, it will be over if you directly rob the Chen family from that one, why are you talking so much!"

It doesn't quite understand Feng Ziyuexian's behavior, it knows where that thing is, and it also knows that it wants it, and the person who owns this thing is not his opponent.

What do you spend on a good one?

Why don't you just grab it?

"Nonsense!" Qi Xiaodie glared at it, "What kind of status does Xiao Feng have now, can he go and grab something from a businessman? Look at that Nangong or something, I'm not afraid that people will laugh and lose their big teeth when it spreads out!"

In her mind, Feng Ziyue is naturally a heroic model, and this kind of thing naturally can't be done.

Golden Fur rolled her eyes, "Fluttershy, you're becoming more and more human......

In the world of demon beasts, there has never been any duty, reputation or anything like that, whoever is strong, has everything.

In this race, whoever is strong is the king, and everything in the clan, including all the beautiful female beasts, belongs to the king;

Among the different ethnic groups, whoever is strong has territory and majesty, and the hierarchy is much clearer than the vague structure of human beings.

Among human beings, there are obviously also ranks of martial arts, but for some reason, there are various relationships that are "chaotic" and messy, so that the simple-minded Jin "Mao" god can't understand it.

And Qi Xiaodie, who was reincarnated in human form, is indeed becoming more and more human-like, both in terms of thinking and moral standards, which are completely human.

Feng Ziyue smiled indifferently, "What Fluttershy said is that the Chen family is a businessman, and I don't lack these millions of taels of gold, why don't I buy it—but if someone wants to take it, then you can't blame me for being polite!"

His words changed, because he happened to see the people of the Nangong family, and they entered the auction hall one by one with a cold face.

They were numerous, armed with swords, and looked menacing.

"Hey, hey, who's that guy? Why do you feel like you're not here to buy something, but like you're here to grab something?"

"It looks like a member of the Nangong family!"

"I heard that two days ago, the Chen family, the youngest son of the Nangong family, suffered a big loss, and he was carried out, so he wants to take revenge today?"

"Yangzhou Chen family, Yuzhou Nangong, no one is afraid of anyone, do they really want to turn their faces?"

The people in the market, a burst of excitement, chattering non-stop, are flocking to the door of the auction venue, wanting to see the excitement.

These ordinary people, naturally, can't understand the difference between innate masters and acquired martial artists, Yangzhou Chen family and Yuzhou Nangong are one of the several families that are extremely rich in the world, and they seem to be roughly equal.

In fact, this idea cannot be wrong.

Although the Nangong family has several innate ancestors, and the Yangzhou Chen family does not have a single innate master, but even so, the Nangong family does not dare to move the Chen family easily.

This is the ingenious entanglement of forces in human society, which is different from the demon beast world, which is purely convincing people by force.

Of course, the strength has reached the level of Feng Ziyue, and one force will drop ten, no matter what kind of force it is, if he really wants to deal with it, it will be as simple as destroying the withering and decaying.

But as far as he is concerned, he doesn't want to be like Chu Madman, and people in the world only mention him with fear.

No friends, no collaborators.

Feng Ziyue is different from Chu madman, Chu madman is lonely, in his eyes, there is only the strong and the weak, and he doesn't need friends or relatives at all.

And Feng Ziyue, he himself is fearless, but he has to make plans for the people of the Feng family and Wanjian Villa, purely to convince people with deterrence, and make enemies all over the world, what good is it for them?

Therefore, Feng Ziyue follows the path of not offending me, and I not offending others.

As for anyone who sins against me......

Feng Ziyue smiled coldly, looking at those domineering Nangong family warriors, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Lend them a guts!

As the time comes, the auction will begin in earnest.

Feng Ziyue took Fluttershy with him, separated the crowd, and walked into the venue, shaking in front of the jade medal guards sent by Chen Yanqing, and someone immediately greeted him and led him to the VIP box on the second floor.

"Hey, hey, have you seen it, those two beautiful young men and women just now are VIPs!"

"I see, I see, that girl is so beautiful that she doesn't look like a human being!" exclaimed several old ladies.

"Just now they drank osmanthus mung bean soup on my stall!"

The hawker's shout attracted him a lot of business.

The VIPs of the Chen family's auction are by no means idle figures, and the people have speculated about who this pair of young men and women is, and after arriving, even the prince and princess who visited Weifu privately guessed it.

But I don't know what prince and princess are in Feng Ziyue's eyes, and what are they?

The dignified prince will also be trampled on the soles of his feet, and he will be abolished, and the current emperor will also bend his waist in front of him.

The first in the world, the white-clothed sword god.

He is as high as he is on the Martial Continent today, and he is already a supreme honorable status.

However, Feng Ziyue was not in the mood to enjoy this kind of identity, and the two major events in front of him, the Demon Suppression Stone Tablet and the Divine Water Tribulation, made him race against time and did not dare to slack off.

"Bell—"

Feng Ziyue had just sat down in the box when he heard a crisp gong sound in the field.

The auction event has officially begun!

In the box, the furnishings are luxurious, there are four comfortable Taishi chairs, covered with soft tiger skin, a red sandalwood coffee table in front of it, various "color" snacks, dazzling, and a pot of tea, fragrant.

If the guests don't like tea but like wine, then there is a clever little servant, holding the wine jar to serve, if there is any command, he will handle it.

The people who can step into the VIP box of the Chen family in Yangzhou are not simple, and this kind of service is only qualified.

However, Feng Ziyue and Fluttershy, who are not used to being so attentive, wave their hands to let the little guy retreat, and only the two of them are left in the box.

At this time, the auction has already begun, but at this time, it is just some ordinary gadgets, and Feng Ziyue of course doesn't look down on it, so he just eats a few snacks with Fluttershy and sits quietly.

After a while, there was another knock on the door.

Feng Ziyue called in, it turned out to be an old acquaintance, and it was the Lin steward who "operated" this auction.

Steward Lin smiled and reported to Feng Ziyue, "Young Master Chu, the eldest lady asked me to tell you a letter, this time the Nangong family has prepared a total of three and a half million taels of gold, and the other two have only prepared about three million taels of gold, and the son's offer, if it can be more than three and a half million taels of gold, he should be able to win that thing......"

"Got it!"

Feng Ziyue nodded, this should be the limit of what Chen Yanqing can do, as a businessman, it is already a great favor for her to be able to release this news to Feng Ziyue.

If Feng Ziyue didn't know the bottom line of others, it was very likely that he would spend hundreds of thousands of taels of gold, but now that he knows, when the time comes, it will be just a mouthful, and it will save trouble.

Steward Lin was surprised.

He didn't know who this Chu Gongzi was, but he didn't expect the eldest lady to look at him so differently.

You must know that the Chen family's business has always been impartial, if it weren't for the great benefits that this Chu Gongzi could provide, I am afraid that the eldest lady would not be so biased.

But although this Young Master Chu took out a Divine Power Pill, the details are still unknown, why is the eldest lady so sure?

But he is also an old man who has been doing things for many years, so he naturally didn't dare to talk much, and after reporting the letter, he retired by himself.

"Three and a half million taels of gold ......"

Feng Ziyue has already spent one million taels to buy the white jade Guanyin bottle, plus the three and a half million taels, and the purchase of blasting stones is one million taels, the total is five and a half million taels of gold, which is nothing.

He looked leisurely, and when he saw that there were some calligraphy, paintings, weapons and jewelry in the auction, they looked gorgeous, so he bid at will, spent some loose money, and bought some gifts for his family and friends.

At noon, the auction was suspended, and a banquet was served in each VIP box.

Qi Xiaodie likes to eat crabs, and at this time, when the crabs are fat in autumn, Feng Ziyue specially asked for a table of whole crab feast, crab roe and crab roe, rice wine is fragrant, especially the last large plate of hairy crabs, all of which are the size of a plate, and the "color" is golden, which makes people have a great appetite at a glance.

The two of them ate a few, and they were also full of appreciation.

The Chen family in Yangzhou, for the service of this VIP, is also quite thoughtful.

After the afternoon, I saw that the VIP box was full of people one after another.

Feng Ziyue also knew that in the afternoon, the important things in the auction began to officially enter the auction, and these VIPs were not interested in the scattered things in the morning, so they would come back in the afternoon.

He doesn't have anything to do with himself, so he accompanies Fluttershy to take a look.

The first auction in the afternoon was the colorful crystal jade!

The original drowsy atmosphere of the afternoon was suddenly swept away.

Even the guests who sat in the ordinary table below, although they knew that this thing was destined to fall into their hands, they also "revealed" their greedy "looks", and stared excitedly at the round stone that emitted colorful light.

This thing, however, represents a lifespan of several decades.

In the past, people often said that money can't buy a long life, but with this colorful crystal jade, even ordinary people can live for a few more decades, which makes those old guys who have money but are uncomfortable and have a short life, don't they want to go bankrupt and get their property.

However, people who are a little more shrewd also know that they have no martial arts, and even if they really get this colored crystal jade, they are afraid that they will not be able to keep it.

I only got it today, maybe I will be robbed 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 touching and by no means ordinary.

Feng Ziyue also saw the treasure of this thing for the first time, and he felt that it was full of luck, not only could it prolong his life, but he was afraid that those who got this thing would also be of great help if they practiced martial arts.

The Chen family in Yangzhou is really willing.

Such things are taken out and sold, and Feng Ziyue also admires Chen Yanqing's courage.

If ordinary people get this thing, they are afraid that they will want to hide it and gain some benefits for themselves.

But Chen Yanqing was different, and he generously took it out for auction.

The Chen family is an ordinary martial arts family, but it has been able to maintain its prosperity, and even after the Divine Water Tribulation, it can still continue, but I am afraid that this is the secret of their home.

This kind of thing can be taken out and sold, which means that no matter what good things the Chen family gets, they will take it out and sell it, 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 hands of this hen that can lay golden eggs.

Instead, they have to provide shelter for the family.

That's how they survive.

Feng Ziyue nodded, but after hearing the auctioneer announce the reserve price, someone immediately rushed to bid first, and the noise became a ball.

Feng Ziyue smiled slightly, picked up the jade plate, and lightly buckled it, the voice was crisp, but it spread throughout the audience.

"Three million taels of gold!"

The magnitude of this price increase was too big, and for a while, the audience was silent.

Feng Ziyue did not add 3.5 million taels of gold in one bite, which is too obvious, and people with a heart will suspect that the Chen family has "exposed" the news.

Three million gold, which is enough to scare off most people.

There is one Nangong family left, and it will be enough to increase the price one more time.

Sure enough, for a while, no one bid, only the Nangong family gritted their teeth and raised a 3.1 million taels of gold out.

In terms of momentum, it is Feng Ziyue who is too much behind.

"Three million taels of gold!"

Feng Ziyue understated it, and added another 500,000 taels, and the Nangong family was suddenly dumbfounded.

The whole audience did not react, and even the auctioneer was stunned on the spot.

After a long silence, he remembered his duty and coughed lightly, "The guests of Tianzi No. C box bid three million taels of gold, is there anyone who bids higher than this?"

Everyone in the Nangong family gritted their teeth and their faces were pale, but they didn't know where such a bastard appeared, their eyes were on fire, and they were all staring at the Tianzi No. C box.

Feng Ziyue smiled slightly, but he didn't care.

If they dare to cause trouble, it will really be a humiliation for themselves.

"If no one bids, then this thing ......"

"Four million taels of gold!"

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from a corner of the VIP box.

Four million taels of gold!

The auctioneer gasped, his expression froze, and his pupils contracted suddenly.
