Chapter 1337: Chapter 1336: The Bloodshed Caused by the Broken Sword
A Broken Sword!
That’s right, what was brought up next was actually a broken sword.
Such a broken sword, in Ye Feng’s memory, he seemed to have seen somewhere before.
So Ye Feng searched within his own Storage Ring and indeed found a broken sword that looked like it was part of the same sword.
According to Ye Feng’s estimation, the broken sword in his hand and the one on the auction stage seemed to make up more than half of the entire sword.
Moreover, from the broken sword on the auction stage, Ye Feng sensed a very strong energy fluctuation.
It was probably because of this that the broken sword appeared at this auction stage.
"Everyone, this is a very peculiar broken sword, and you can all feel the terrifying energy contained within it. This is definitely not an ordinary sword."
"If there is a specific way to activate it, it might become an unparalleled treasure, and you could make a big profit then."
"Next, the auction will begin. This broken sword has no reserve price, and bidding is unrestricted. There are no auction rules. The bidding starts now."
After the broken sword was brought up, the auctioneer started boasting loudly.
Obviously, in order to auction off this broken sword, this guy was doing his utmost to hype it up, trying to auction the sword at a sky-high price.
"This is interesting!" Ye Feng smiled and put away the crown from before.
Seeing Ye Feng’s action, Mi Yana beside him understood that if she didn’t fulfill her promise, she definitely wouldn’t get the crown.
For a moment, she was stuck in a dilemma.
She definitely wasn’t willing to give herself to Ye Feng just like that.
But the crown was too important to her, and she really couldn’t give it up.
"I’ll bid five hundred cultivation points!"
"I’ll bid six hundred points!"
At the same time, the bidding for the broken sword had already started, with a few people placing their bids.
However, these bidders didn’t seem very interested; only two or three were trying, showing little interest in the broken sword.
Indeed, no one could be sure what this thing was, and if it turned out to be worthless, they would suffer a big loss.
But, to avoid the risk of it being a super treasure, they were trying to bid and win it at a very low price.
"I’ll bid two thousand cultivation points! This is a bit interesting, I might get it to research." Just then, Ye Feng spoke, raising the price to two thousand cultivation points.
Two thousand, that price was already very high and quite outrageous.
Without any surprises, this price was already the limit, and no one else would spend more to fight Ye Feng for this broken sword.
"Indeed, I’ll bid three thousand, buy it back, and study it." Just as everyone thought the price had reached the limit, someone laughingly shouted a high bid of three thousand cultivation points.
Hearing this price, Ye Feng frowned.
He didn’t expect anyone to spend so many cultivation points fighting him for such a seemingly clueless broken sword, making him turn around for a look.
Looking around, Ye Feng spotted his competition, a guy wearing a duckbill cap who looked a bit shady.
Surrounding him were two lackeys who didn’t seem to be good people either.
Seeing this scene, Ye Feng felt something was amiss.
These people didn’t sincerely want to buy the broken sword; they might have been hired by the sword’s owner as shills.
For something normal, Ye Feng would just let it go, letting the foolish owner suffer the loss.
But, this broken sword could potentially be a super treasure. If it were completed, it might surprise everyone.
So even though the other party was clearly a shill, Ye Feng couldn’t avoid competing with them.
Thus, Ye Feng gave the opposing side a warning glance.
With Ye Feng’s piercing gaze, the two lackeys got nervous and asked their leader in the middle, "Boss, did he find out? What if he stops bidding? What’ll we do if he stops bidding?"
Clearly, these two were afraid of this thing falling into their hands.
"Relax! He’s loaded with cultivation points. He spent sixteen thousand on the crown earlier. A few thousand means nothing to him. He won’t just leave it." But the guy in the middle boasted confidently, as if everything was under his control.
"Five thousand cultivation points!" After giving a warning, Ye Feng raised the price to five thousand points.
That was equivalent to billions of Mg Blades, potentially worth trillions.
With Ye Feng’s action, many around him were stunned.
"This... is not how you should spend money, is it? So much money for a broken sword of unknown value? What’s he thinking?"
"Yeah! That’s crazy, right? Is this thing really worth thousands of cultivation points?"
"It’s just a broken sword, what’s the secret?"
They couldn’t understand why Ye Feng would use so many cultivation points to buy such a broken sword.
"Is this broken sword really worth so much?" Even Mi Yana beside him was puzzled.
"I have a lot of cultivation points. They’re burning a hole in my pocket, so why not?" Ye Feng chuckled, brushing it off with a laugh.
"You..." Mi Yana was suddenly speechless.
Meanwhile, as the price soared to 5000 cultivation points, those competing with Ye Feng were excited, especially the one in the middle, his face full of smugness, "Didn’t I say he wouldn’t let it go? Wasn’t I spot on?"
"Boss, you’re awesome, really badass."
"This way, we made an extra few thousand cultivation points. Truly made a killing."
Upon hearing their boss’s words, the two next to him sucked up, praising him profusely.
"Therefore... we should strike while the iron is hot, squeezing a bit more out of him," their boss suggested, swelling with confidence.
"No, what if he doesn’t follow?"
"Yeah, let’s leave it at that, so it doesn’t backfire."
Hearing this, the two who were originally praising him shook their heads, unwilling to take the risk.
"Hair long, vision short, trust me, just one last time. He will follow." The man in the middle cursed, unabashedly making a new bid: "I’ll bid ten thousand cultivation points!"
That’s right, he directly doubled the price to ten thousand cultivation points.
Simultaneously, he was gleeful inside as he thought that as long as Ye Feng bid more, no matter how much, breaking the ten-thousand-point mark was a given. His commission would surely be significant, at least five hundred cultivation points.
If the employer was in a good mood, they might even reward him some more.
Thinking of all this, a smile of excitement spread across his face, as if it was all already realized.
Seeing they couldn’t stop their boss, the two beside him watched Ye Feng impatiently, their only hope now being that Ye Feng would bid a higher price and win the broken sword; otherwise, they were done for...
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May you all make a fortune in the new year!
