Chapter 285: Chapter 285: Courting Death

He uses a sword, not a saber; moreover, he wouldn’t take a second glance at a saber of this level.

"Ninety low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Damn it, one hundred and fifty low-grade Spirit Stones, I’d like to see who dares to outbid me!"

After the last burly man with a face full of meat bid one hundred and fifty low-grade Spirit Stones, no one else made an offer.

Thus, the saber was won by the burly man.

Lin Feng watched and shook his head secretly, sighing at how much money an auction could make.

A level two middle-grade weapon, even if it were the very best of level two middle-grade weapons, would be worth at most one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, not one hundred and fifty.

Next, the auction continued.

The second auction item was brought up, which was a sheepskin parchment the size of a palm.

The elder held the parchment in his hand and announced loudly, "This second auction item is a map, which may relate to a treasure. However, this map is not complete, it’s obviously only a part of the complete map!"

"Therefore, the starting price for this map is not high, starting at thirty Spirit Stones, with each bid increment no less than ten Spirit Stones!"

As soon as the elder finished speaking, the crowd below immediately became noisy.

"What the hell, even a fragmented map is up for auction!"

"Exactly, it’s not even a complete map. What’s the use of a fragmented one!"

"Even with a complete map, we don’t know if there’s any treasure, let alone a fragmented one!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, and for a time, no one made an offer.

In the private room.

Seeing the fragmented map in the elder’s hands, Lin Feng’s eyes flashed with a gleam of light, because he had an identical fragmented map in his Storage Ring.

When Lin Feng had just joined Divine Wind Camp, he had acquired many spoils of war during his trials, among which was this fragmented map.

However, since it was a fragmented map, Lin Feng did not pay much attention to it at the time and casually threw it into his Storage Ring.

He did not expect that he would encounter another part of it in this auction.

"Forty low-grade Spirit Stones!"

Lin Feng did not hesitate and decisively made the offer.

Upon hearing a bid, everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Lin Feng’s private room.

However, one can only see out from the inside through the transparent crystal; looking in from the outside, nothing could be seen.

But some of those who recognized Lin Feng’s voice indeed recognized him.

"Lin Feng?"

Ling Muchen and Fei Kuang were sitting in a rear position, and upon hearing the voice, they identified Lin Feng.

In one of the private rooms, Yan Qi, who had been sitting comfortably on an animal skin chair, suddenly jumped up at the sound of Lin Feng’s voice.

"Younger brother, what’s the matter with you? Jumping up like that!"

Yan Ba next to him was startled by Yan Qi and scolded him immediately.

"Brother, it’s Lin Feng!"

Hao Hai exclaimed excitedly.

"Lin Feng? Where is Lin Feng?"

Confusion crossed Yan Ba’s face.

Hao Hai hurriedly said, "Brother, the person who made the bid just now, it was Lin Feng!"

"What?"

Yan Ba was stunned, then quickly stood up, a cold glint appearing in his eyes as he said, "What a coincidence!"

After a moment of contemplation, Yan Ba sat back down and said, "But now is not the time to take action; let’s wait until the auction ends."

"Okay!"

Hao Hai nodded and then sneered to himself, saying, "Even though Lin Feng is as good as dead, let’s make him bleed a little first!"

In another private room, Hong Tengyun and the others naturally recognized Lin Feng’s voice as well.

With a cold laugh, Hong Tengyun said to Xiang Bo and Tong Yu, "Brother Xiang, Brother Tong, the person who just made the bid is Lin Feng; he’s the one who won fifty consecutive matches in the Four Seas Martial Arts Arena!"

"Oh, is that so?"

Tong Yu nodded, his voice frosty as he assured, "Don’t worry! Brother Hong, this man dared to insult the disciples of Diancang Sect. On the Four Seas Arena, I will make his defeat utterly miserable."

Xiang Bo, sitting arrogantly in his chair, said, "Brother Tong, you take action when the time comes! A mere grasshopper is not worthy of my attention!"

"Mmm!"

Tong Yu nodded his head.

As the top Outer Sect member of Diancang Sect, Xiang Bo simply wouldn’t take Lin Feng seriously.

If Lin Feng were of the same cultivation level, perhaps he might have paid a bit more attention, but Lin Feng was merely at the Great Martial Master Fifth Layer cultivation level, so there was no need for him to act personally.

Having Tong Yu take action was more than enough.

At the auction, after Lin Feng made his offer, there was a brief moment of silence.

No one else was bidding.

Lin Feng felt a surge of joy in his heart; without any competition, he could obtain the fragmented map at the lowest price.

But just then, an odd, contrasting voice suddenly rang out.

"I bid fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Feng immediately frowned; if it wasn’t Hao Hai, who else could it be!

Damn it!

Lin Feng cursed silently, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes – this guy was clearly here to screw him over.

"Sixty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

Lin Feng continued to bid with a grim face.

"Seventy Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Eighty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"..."

"One hundred and twenty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"One hundred and forty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

The price quickly skyrocketed to one hundred and forty Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Everyone was stunned, completely baffled as to why the two were so eager to get their hands on this map.

Many people fell into deep thought, wondering if this fragmented map really involved some huge treasure.

Then, a few more people joined the bidding.

"I bid one hundred and fifty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"I bid one hundred and eighty Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

"..."

In an instant, the price soared past two hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones.

On the auction stage, the old man’s face was filled with smiles, considering this an unexpected pleasure!

Originally, he thought that if the fragmented map could be auctioned off for a hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, it would be quite good; he didn’t expect to reach over two hundred now.

Inside the private room, Lin Feng’s face was ashen.

Initially, he could have obtained the map for forty Low Grade Spirit Stones, but now it had been driven up harshly to over two hundred.

Although he was quite affluent now, having many Spirit Stones, they had not come easy to him – they weren’t just washed up by a flood.

"Dammit!"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but let loose a curse, wishing he could go and slaughter Yan Qi right now.

"Young Master Luo curiously looked at Lin Feng, "Why are you so eager for this fragmented map?" Could it be that it truly contains some treasure?

"I must have this fragmented map!"

Lin Feng spoke indifferently, his statement not really an answer, then suddenly called out, "Four hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

After announcing his bid, Lin Feng shouted again, "Yan Qi, if you’re willing to bid higher, then this fragmented map is yours!"

As expected, after Lin Feng spoke, Yan Qi’s voice did not sound again.

Yan Qi only wanted to make Lin Feng bleed a little, to pay deeply. Having achieved his goal, he retracted his hand.

Otherwise, if Lin Feng didn’t bid further, he certainly wouldn’t want to spend four hundred Spirit Stones to buy this useless fragmented map.

After Lin Feng’s bid of four hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones, those who had followed suit in bidding also stopped!

Four hundred Low Grade Spirit Stones was already too high!

Although the fragmented map might potentially involve some treasure, it was, after all, just a piece of a map, a useless artifact. If not, Heaven and Sea Pavilion would have gone to search for the treasure long ago – why would they have put it up for auction?
