Chapter 1352: Chapter 1352 Astronomical Price
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense saw everything clearly. Qiang Wudi was so furious that he slammed the teacup in his hand and gave up on the bidding!
Yi Na waited for a while, seeing no one else bidding, and asked, "Anyone else?"
"Who else can afford a higher price? Hurry up and buy it. Let’s move on to the next item!" Someone in the audience urged.
"Fifty top-grade spiritual stones!" Ye Liuyun finally spoke, leisurely stating the price.
As soon as he spoke, the room fell silent, all eyes turning towards him.
Then, a buzzing sound filled the air, and the murmur of the crowd resumed.
"Who is this?"
"Oh my God! Fifty top-grade spiritual stones! That’s enough to last me a lifetime!"
Mr. Chang was frustrated. He thought he would be the buyer of this Cultivation Methods. He had even dared to offend the city lord for it. Unexpectedly, another competitor had emerged out of nowhere!
"Which family are you from? What are you doing here causing trouble?" He couldn’t help but ask.
He couldn’t fathom who would dare to oppose him.
In a tone mimicking the old man’s, Ye Liuyun replied, "Causing trouble is bidding without being able to afford it. Whether I can afford it or not, you’ll find out soon."
"Puff!" Someone in the audience couldn’t help but laugh.
But fearing Mr. Chang’s temper, they tried their best to stifle their laughter.
"Hahaha!" Mr. Huang laughed unabashedly. "Mr. Chang, I never expected to see you in such a situation. You’re rich, aren’t you? Keep bidding!"
"Fifty-one top-grade spiritual stones! We’re bidding. It’s none of your business. If you can’t afford it, stop making a fuss here!" Mr. Chang continued to bid, mocking Mr. Huang.
"Sixty top-grade spiritual stones!" Ye Liuyun, without hesitation, immediately raised the bid again, adding psychological pressure to Mr. Chang.
"Wow! It’s increased to sixty now! That’s an astronomical price!" Someone in the audience exclaimed.
Yi Na stood on the platform, a smile on her face, thinking to herself that she had hit a jackpot.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense probed carefully, revealing that Mr. Chang was now pulling his beard in frustration. He probably couldn’t afford the price anymore.
"Fortunately, the people here aren’t wealthy, or else how could I have bought a Heaven Level Cultivation Methods so cheaply!" Ye Liuyun still thought it was a bargain.
Even if the price were increased tenfold, he wouldn’t mind.
"Kid, I’m afraid you can afford this cultivation technique, but you won’t be able to take it away!" Mr. Chang threatened Ye Liuyun, unable to do anything else.
"You don’t need to worry about that! If you can afford the price, continue bidding. If you can’t, stop making a fuss here!"
Ye Liuyun mocked him again, causing Mr. Huang and the people below to burst into laughter.
"Fine!" Mr. Chang’s eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he stopped bidding!
"This guy is probably in for some bad luck!" Someone in the audience worried about Ye Liuyun.
"Who cares? It’s none of our business!" Someone next to him replied.
Ye Liuyun’s Divine Sense also noticed Mr. Chang, the city lord Qiang Wudi, and Mr. Huang were all instructing their subordinates to leave the private room in advance.
"Great! It’s best if all of you come and make a move against me. Otherwise, this Heaven Level Cultivation Methods I just won might not be enough!" Ye Liuyun, seeing them plotting against him, felt happier than winning the Heaven Level Cultivation Methods itself.
Yi Na asked again and, seeing no other bids, she auctioned off the Cultivation Methods to Ye Liuyun.
Soon, a waiter brought the Cultivation Methods to Ye Liuyun’s private room.
Ye Liuyun promptly settled the bill without any delay.
He quickly skimmed through the book and found it satisfactory. At least Yi Na’s introduction was accurate.
So, he immediately stored away the Cultivation Methods and turned his attention to the next item
At this moment, Yi Na on the stage was introducing a worn-out bronze tripod. "This bronze tripod was originally an Honorable Level treasure, but due to the loss of a part, it has now lost its grade."
On the display table, besides the tripod, there were several fragments that seemed to have fallen off from it.
"No grade? Isn’t it just a piece of junk?" Someone in the audience asked.
Yi Na explained, "Although it has no grade and looks worn out, it can withstand attacks from Core Condensation Phase experts! So, using it as a defensive treasure is perfectly fine!"
"If you can find a good weapon-refining master, you can completely restore its original appearance. We’ve also preserved the damaged parts."
"What? This tripod is able to withstand the attacks of a virtuoso practitioner?" The crowd erupted with excitement.
After all, within their sphere of activity, Core Condensation Phase experts were the top tier. With this treasure, no one would be able to harm the owner of the tripod.
So, the value of this item naturally stood out.
"The starting price is ten top-grade spiritual stones!" Yi Na announced the starting bid.
"Damn it, it’s so expensive!"
"Yeah! If we want to find someone to refine it again, it’ll probably cost a fortune! It’s a rip-off!"
Some who couldn’t afford it immediately began grumbling and complaining.
But some didn’t mind, and the price quickly rose to eighteen top-grade spiritual stones.
Qiang Wudi, Mr. Chang, and Mr. Huang also joined the bidding.
Ye Liuyun carefully scanned the bronze tripod with his Golden Phantom Eyes.
He noticed that the formation on it hadn’t been completely destroyed. Only some parts of the tripod were damaged, and the broken pieces were still intact.
This was simple. He could easily refine it himself and repair it.
After the repair, even if the power of the formation might decrease, it should still reach the level of a Spirit Weapon or an Advanced Holy Weapon.
Such a complete treasure would provide better defense against attacks compared to the current incomplete tripod.
Moreover, with Axing learning alchemy, having a good tripod would significantly improve success rates.
So, Ye Liuyun decided to bid for this damaged tripod. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Qiang Wudi offered twenty top-grade spiritual stones and made the final offer.
Many people thought it wasn’t worth spending so many spiritual stones on a damaged tripod.
However, within the city, only the City Lord’s residence had several Core Condensation Phase experts. The other major forces had at most one expert at that level.
Buying this tripod was a strategic move to prevent others from resisting the power of their City Lord.
Before Yi Na could ask if anyone wanted to bid again, Ye Liuyun immediately offered twenty-five top-grade spiritual stones.
Even Yi Na hadn’t expected that after offending the Chang family, Ye Liuyun would dare to compete with the City Lord for items.
Qiang Wudi was also frustrated. He didn’t get the Cultivation Methods, and now he was being contested for a broken tripod.
However, he had already decided that once the auction ended, he would find Ye Liuyun. So, he didn’t bother to argue.
After all, directly taking it from Ye Liuyun later would be just as effective!
Although Ye Liuyun now had the tripod for defense, having a defensive treasure wouldn’t be very useful if the difference in realms was too great.
And so, this bronze tripod also became the possession of Ye Liuyun.
