Cunning Ya Fei
As the bell rang, an elderly man in a golden robe, with a smile on his face, slowly walked onto the auction stage.
"Mo Tianxing."
Ye Xinlan blurted it out.
The old man with a powerful aura in front of him was Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect.
"Hehe, I am Mo Tianxing, the sect leader of the Black Emperor Sect. Many of you know me. Today, my Black Emperor Sect is holding an auction, and I would like to thank you all for your support."
Mo Tianxing's words elicited responses from several powerful leaders. The Black Emperor Sect was an established force in the Black-Corner Region, standing strong for many years. Besides the sect leader's extraordinary strength, their strong social connections were also a crucial reason for the Black Emperor Sect's stable foothold in the Black-Corner Region.
"Hehe, I'm sure you're all very much looking forward to this auction. I won't say anything unpleasant. However, I'd like to remind you all that you all know the rules of the auction. If anyone dares to cause trouble in my Black Emperor Sect, I will make sure they wish they were dead."
Mo Tianxing's cold words fell, some vicious villains slightly restrained their greed.
"Next, please enjoy the auction feast of my Black Emperor Sect."
Mo Tianxing achieved his deterrent effect. He smiled broadly. The auction floor cracked open, revealing several passageways. A sprightly old man, followed by a beautiful woman holding a silver platter, stood on the auction platform. From his vantage point, he could see objects shimmering faintly within the silver platters. These objects were obscured by red cloth, making it impossible to discern their contents.
"The first item is a scroll of finger technique combat skills. Heaven Feather Finger, Profound Middle-Rank. Finger techniques are always rare and somewhat difficult to master. In battles against deacons, surprise attacks can often yield unexpected results. Starting bid: 300,000. Since this is the first item, if someone bids 800,000, they can directly acquire this finger technique. No matter who bids higher afterward, the Heaven Feather Finger will belong to them. Everyone, this is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"
The elderly man conducting the auction was very experienced; with just a few words, he enlivened the atmosphere in the auction hall.
"Eight hundred thousand?"
Ya Fei scoffed, "Although I've never been to Central Plains, I think Profound Middle-Rank combat skill priced at 800,000 is something no one would accept unless someone does something extraordinary."
As expected, this Profound Middle-Rank combat skill was eventually auctioned off for 570,000.
"Hehe, everyone, this scroll of fighting techniques is rather rare. It's a ruler-style fighting technique. Although it's somewhat unorthodox, its level is not low. It's a mid-level Earth Rank technique. Moreover, it's said to have been left behind by a Dou Zun powerhouse who once roamed the continent several hundred years ago. Its value is quite extraordinary."
"This ruler-based fighting technique is called the Six Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler. It is a mid-level Earth Rank technique. It was created by Six Harmonies Honored One. This is also his signature fighting technique. It is extremely powerful. The only drawback is that the ruler technique is somewhat unorthodox. Unless one has immersed oneself in it for many years, it would be difficult to master it."
"Auction price: 1.8 million. Each initial bid must be at least 10,000. Ladies and gentlemen, please place your bids."
After the white-haired old man finished speaking, a brief silence fell over the auction hall.
A price of 1.8 million is not a small sum for some smaller forces. It would take almost a year of not eating or drinking for the entire force to afford such a high price.
"One million eight hundred and thirty thousand."
Two million.
"Two and a half million."
In no time, the price had soared to 2.5 million. The person who made the bid was a figure completely shrouded in a black robe.
"Buy it," Ye Feng said.
Ye Feng recognized the figure in the black robe as Xiao Yan at a glance.
"Two million five hundred and ten thousand."
"Two million six hundred thousand."
"Two million six hundred thousand."
"Two million seven hundred thousand."
"Two million seven hundred thousand."
Xiao Yan was speechless. Every time he raised the price, he tried to intimidate Ya Fei with the price. But Ya Fei raised the price by ten thousand each time, continuing to stall for time with him.
Three million.
As Xiao Yan hesitated, a burly middle-aged man called out a new price.
"Three million and one thousand."
No matter how much the middle-aged man raised the price, Ya Fei kept increasing it by ten thousand each time. In her words, large price increases could indeed intimidate competitors. However, increasing the price by the smallest increments of ten thousand each time could gradually wear down the competitors' patience.
Ye Feng's lips moved slightly, and he transmitted his voice to Zi Yan beside him. Zi Yan nodded and left the auction house.
"Ye Feng, what did you say to her?" Little Fairy Doctor asked curiously.
"That man in black robes is a traitor to the Canaan Academy," Ye Feng replied.
"Xiao Yan," Ye Xinlan blurted out.
"Mm." Ye Feng nodded.
Xiao Yan stole the Small Fallen Heart Flame from the Inner Academy, something Ye Xinlan had heard about. Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Xinlan immediately thought of Xiao Yan.
"Isn't he in trouble?"
"Indeed."
Ye Feng's lips curled up slightly in a smug smile.
For nearly a month, Canaan Academy and Han Feng have been relentlessly pursuing Xiao Yan, leaving him virtually nowhere to hide. Now that Ye Feng has exposed Xiao Yan Xiao Yan, it's easy to imagine that Xiao Yan will have a very difficult time escaping Black Emperor City alive.
Ye Xinlan clicked her tongue inwardly, sighing that Xiao Yan had to provoke the Chaos Saint Ye Feng of all people.
"Three million one hundred thousand."
"Three million one hundred and eleven thousand."
"Miss, I am a Dou Zong realm alchemist. A sixth-grade alchemist."
The burly middle-aged man took the initiative to remind Ya Fei.
"So what if he's a sixth-grade alchemist? Even if the Pill King Gu He came, I wouldn't take him seriously. If you have money, raise the price; if you don't, shut up," Ya Fei said.
"You..."
The middle-aged man, unaccustomed to such treatment, felt his fighting spirit become chaotic. His eyes suddenly widened as he noticed the gray-haired, gray-eyed youth sitting quietly beside Ya Fei. He thought to himself, "It's him... he actually came too. Damn it, I almost provoked this demon."
"This young lady has offered 3.11 million. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the bid?"
In the end, Ya Fei won the bid for the intermediate-level Earth-rank combat skill, Six Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler, for 3.11 million.
"Ding-dong!"
"Congratulations on instructing Ya Fei to bid for and obtain the intermediate-level Earth-rank Dou Technique, Six Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler. This prevents Xiao Yan from practicing the Six Harmonies Roaming Body Ruler, thus overturning the original storyline. Reward: 361 Attribute Points Attribute Points points."
Ye Feng only overturned a small part of the storyline, so he only gained 361 Attribute Points of allocable attributes.
"System, add all the available attributes acquired this time to the defense."
As Ye Feng finished speaking, a warm feeling flowed through his entire body. He felt that his physical defenses had become a tiny bit stronger.
