Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Pretending to Be a Big Shot!_1

As the red cloth was removed, indeed there was a pitch-black Elixir. Hearing the function of this Elixir, those without cultivation all involuntarily took a deep, cold breath!

Indeed, it was an opportunity for cultivation! Who wouldn’t be tempted.

Yet, there was one person who was not tempted at all, and that was Ren Feifan.

Ren Feifan possessed a batch of Profound Essence Pills that he himself had refined in his mysterious space. These Profound Essence Pills were far more superior than the small Profound Essence Pill being auctioned. They could at least increase the success rate by seventy percent.

The reason why Ren Feifan didn’t bring them out was purely to avoid unnecessary trouble.

It wasn’t a secret that he was a cultivator, but if people knew he could also practice Alchemy, that would truly complicate matters.

"Forty million!" A stout man immediately increased the price by ten million.

"Forty-five million!"

"Fifty million!"

...

The little Profound Essence Pill was eventually sold to a man with a thick beard for eighty million.

The auction was proceeding enthusiastically. In the blink of an eye, three treasures had already been auctioned off, all selling for an astonishing price.

"The next item was added to the auction at the last minute, but I believe many of you may be interested." He Daoming smiled slightly and continued.

"Hmm, a last-minute addition...what could it be?" Everyone instinctively furrowed their brows. Although a last-minute addition to the auction was quite normal, the second half of the auction was quite special, and ordinary treasures could not even enter the second half of the auction.

"This treasure reportedly contains a small Formation. The Formation has no offensive power but it can withstand a full-strength blow from a Profound Extreme Realm master. If a cultivator carries it, it can stabilize the realm and save lives at critical moments. If a commoner wears it, it can stabilize the spirit and ward off evil spirits. If you wear it in summer, you will feel cool. In winter, it will feel like a portable air conditioning system...The starting price is five million." He Daoming repeated verbatim what Ye Qingcheng had told him.

Although he did not originally plan to put this item in the second half of the auction, Xu Zhenhua insisted on doing so. Even though he didn’t think highly of this item, he wanted to give face to the Ye family. Even ordinary items, when placed in the second half of the auction, could be sold for several times their initial worth!

Quickly, the red cloth was removed, and everyone saw, quietly lying in the glass case... um... a worn-out hemp rope with an extremely ugly stone on it... um...

Everyone widened their eyes, they never thought that such an item would be put up for auction, and it bragged of such powerful effects.

A small Formation? How could it be? Array Masters were long gone in this world!

The 21st century was a high-speed development stage of science; Formations were something that only existed in legends.

Even more exaggerating was that this broken bracelet could withstand a full-strength blow from a Profound Extreme Realm master?

Please, don’t brag in such an overtly blatant manner!

A casual strike from a Profound Extreme Realm master, even if you hid in a tank, you might not survive!

Not to mention a full-strength blow!

Everyone thought that the person who put this item up for auction must either be a fool or an idiot!

The scene fell quiet for a moment, even to the point of eeriness.

Xu Shihan opened her eyes wide, looking at Ren Feifan in disbelief. She had accepted this strange bracelet simply to appease Ren Feifan, but Ren Feifan was foolish enough to take it directly to the auction?

And with such an exaggerated functionality?

Seemingly noticing Xu Shihan’s gaze, Ren Feifan turned his head. As their eyes met, Ren Feifan said, "My treasure isn’t bad, is it?"

Xu Shihan was speechless. She wasn’t sure if Ren Feifan was pretending to be dumb or if he was actually an idiot!

"Why did you bring this bracelet to auction? Who would buy this? When I accepted this bracelet this morning, it was entirely because you had tirelessly begged me to, you know?"

After speaking, Xu Shihan removed the bracelet from her bag and examined it again.

Well, it was still a worn-out hemp rope and a broken rock.

Seeing Xu Shihan take out the bracelet, Ye Qingcheng fanned the flames, "Ren Feifan, it seems like you’ve been tricking girls’ hearts with these broken bracelets all along. This is a modern era, even a piece of shattered glass is more attractive than this, isn’t it? Aren’t you just picking those stones up from outside? I bet nobody will bid on this thing."

"Let me see?" Elder Ye interjected. From the sound of the two women, this bracelet must have been what Ren Feifan brought to auction, and he became a bit curious.

"Grandfather, I have one here, I’ll show you." Ye Qingcheng generously took his out and handed it to Elder Ye.

Elder Ye received the bracelet, studied it carefully, then appeared slightly embarrassed. Because it was literally just hemp string matched with a piece of rock. Soon after, he said to Ren Feifan, "Master, this bracelet is... is too... too unique."

Ren Feifan nodded but didn’t say anything.

Are there no connoisseurs in this world?

This was something I had put my blood, sweat and tears into making!

Suddenly, a burst of noise from below interrupted Ren Feifan’s thoughts.

"Master He, you’re not being fair! This thing is too fake, it starts at five million, a roadside purchase for five dollars looks better."

"Yeah, this rock is clearly just something picked up from the roadside, it’s not like it’s a meteorite."

"The key thing is that this bracelet can actually withstand a full-blown attack from a Profound Extreme Realm master. Even the top defensive armor, the Gold thread jade clothes, doesn’t have such an exaggerated function, does it?" A young man in a white robe said, clearly showing he was a cultivator.

"Master He, please remove the item. Don’t waste our time." At this point, Zhou Chenglong suddenly spoke up.

He wanted to get a look at the real treasure earlier rather than wasting time on this bizarre thing!

He Daoming’s face was burning. Though he suspected this would happen when he accepted the item for auction, he never expected such a vehement reaction. He instinctively glanced at Xu Zhenhua, to see him frowning, looking as if he were contemplating a decision!

Later on, nobody offered a bid on the bracelet, which according to auction rules, required a price drop for items that do not receive bids.

Just as He Daoming was about to speak, a voice rang out from the crowd, "Eight million!"

The moment this voice rang out, the entire venue fell silent.

Was there really someone willing to bid on this thing?

Are they stupid?

Everyone looked up to see that the source of the voice was from an upstairs private box.

Hiss...

And not just any person.

Xu Shihan and Ye Qingcheng widened their eyes, unable to believe that Ren Feifan would be so shameless as to bid on his own item.

Did this guy plan to make a scene at the auction, bidding on and buying his own item?

That’s just too boring, right?

Indeed it was a bit of a scene, but definitely the kind that would cause others to think he was stupid.

Ye Qingcheng and Xu Shihan instinctively took a few steps back, because being around an idiot for too long could turn one into an idiot!

Ren Feifan could only touch the tip of his nose in resignation, he had no other choice.

He had always thought that there should be someone who appreciated the value at the auction, but to his surprise, there was not a single one!

What could he do, he could only bid himself. After all, no one else knew where this item came from, so it didn’t matter.

Maybe someone will place a bid.

He Daoming’s mouth twitched a few times. As the auctioneer, he naturally knew that the item was provided by the Ye family.

Now the voice raising the price was coming from the Ye family’s box, which was clearly intended to put up a bold front.

"Eight million for the first time!"

"Eight million for the second time!"

He Daoming called out twice, but still no one raised the bid. Just as he was about to call out the third time, a voice interrupted him.

"Ten million!"

Everyone turned their heads to find the source of the sound, and the next second, almost everyone was stunned nearly into fainting!

It was the same box and the same voice!
