Chapter 3201: Caught Between Two Options

ealthy family I, Ye Bufan, stand tall and proud. I've never considered clinging to others!"Ye Bufan's face was full of disdain, "Even if I wanted to cling to a wealthy family, would your Wang family...The beautiful auctioneer announced the start of the auction, but the audience was eerily silent, with no one immediately bidding.

Ye Bufan understood very well, after all, this fruit was only equivalent to a bottle of perfume, but the price was outrageously high.

Ten thousand low-grade immortal crystals are not something that just any immortal can obtain. You have to know, in a large sect like the Liuguang Sword Sect, Feng Zhiwu, as a direct disciple, only receives one hundred low-grade immortal crystals per month.

That is to say, without the backing of powerful entities or influential families, ordinary people simply wouldn't be able to afford such extravagant consumption.

Seeing that the scene was getting a bit cold, the beautiful auctioneer on stage flashed a charming smile: “Distinguished guests, this Thousand Miles Fragrance Fruit is not easy to come by. If you miss this opportunity, you may never encounter it again.”

If anyone could get their hands on one, they might just be able to win the heart of their beloved. This is a rare opportunity that won't come again, so don't miss it! ...."

Although her words were highly enticing, the audience remained completely unresponsive. The price was simply too high.

Seeing this scene, Zheng Qi's mouth curled into a smirk, and he raised the number plate in his hand.

"20,000 low-grade Immortal Crystals."

As soon as he said that, there was an uproar in the room.

This thing was already in the luxury goods category, exorbitantly priced, and he doubled it without hesitation. This is definitely a big spender, definitely someone wealthy!

Zheng Qi turned his head to look at Mu Feiyan beside him: "Feiyan, I'll take a picture of this and give it to you."

"I don't care!"

Mu Feiyan directly turned her head to the side, not even glancing at him, which made him even more angry.

Zheng Qi looked at Ye Bufan: "Boy, aren't you going to fight me with wealth Aren't you going to compare who has more money with me"

Come on, if you have the guts, throw this fruit over here.

"As you wish!"

Ye Bufan raised his sign without hesitation, "I bid forty thousand!"

The price has doubled again, far exceeding the value of the Qianshiluixiang fruit.

He, however, showed no remorse. In order to bid for the next treasure, he wanted to give people the impression that he was incredibly wealthy and lavish.

This way, it implicitly puts psychological pressure on the opponent, and they may even give up directly, afraid to bid against you.

"I..."

Zheng Qi's expression changed, as if he had been struck on the head. He never expected that not only would they bid, but they would also double the price.

"I...I offer fifty thousand..."

After some hesitation, he finally offered that price.

If you want to hold your ground, it's best to double down and offer eighty thousand directly.

But if he bought a Thousand-Year Fragrance Fruit for 80,000 yuan, he would probably have his leg broken by his grandfather when he got back home.

After all, this thing has no other use besides pleasing women. Spending so many low-grade immortal crystals on this is outrageous, even the landlord wouldn't do something like this.

If he bid 41,000, the momentum would be lacking. After much deliberation, he bid 50,000 instead.

After he finished reporting, he stopped talking and didn't dare to make any more demands. He even hoped the other party wouldn't raise the price anymore, otherwise, he would be truly caught between a rock and a hard place.

If you keep bidding, this thing will be far more valuable than its worth. But if you don't bid, where will your face go

What's more, Mu Feiyan was sitting right beside him. If he lost to such a small True Immortal, how could he possibly win the heart of this beauty!

But as it turned out, what you fear most is what comes to pass. Ye Bufan showed no signs of giving up whatsoever, and without hesitation, he raised the number plate in his hand.

"I bid one hundred thousand!"

The sound echoed throughout the entire market, majestic and imposing!

"My God, who is this young man How can he be so generous"

"One hundred thousand low-grade immortal crystals for this thing Isn't that squandering your fortune"

Maybe it's just spending a lot of money, or maybe they're really rich...

A hush fell over the crowd as they buzzed with excited chatter.

"I..."

Zheng Qi's expression became incredibly complex. He had never imagined that a thousand-mile fragrance fruit would be sold for 100,000.

Now the ball is at his feet again. If he continues to raise the price, it will be ridiculously high. But if he doesn't raise the price, his own face will be trampled on by the other party.

"What's wrong Young Master Zheng, continue. Did you run out of money"

Ye Bufan smiled very kindly, but the provocative meaning was felt by everyone.

"I'll be broke!"

Zheng Qi was instantly enraged, his anger surging upwards, and he was about to raise the placard in his hand once more. But just then, a voice transmission from Shan Yang Huzi reached his ears.

"Young Master, don't forget the Grand Elder's instructions. We have important matters to attend to later, so please refrain from unnecessary consumption of energy upfront."

That kid is obviously trying to scam you. What if he backs out if you raise the price

"This..."

His words were like a basin of cold water poured over Zheng Qi's head, instantly sobering him up.

He wasn't sure if Ye Bufan was genuinely wealthy or deliberately trying to trick him. But one thing was certain: although he brought many Xianjing, they were all useful.

If one wastes needlessly and delays Grandpa's important affairs, they will inevitably face severe punishment upon returning home.

Thinking of this, he let out a cold snort: "To spend so much money on a useless fruit Only an idiot would do that!"

"A smile from a beautiful woman is priceless, this thousand miles of fragrant fruit is invaluable!"

Ye Bufan burst into hearty laughter, "Cowardice is cowardice. Why find so many excuses"

Zheng Qi was humiliated, his face red with shame: "That sounds good, but can you really come up with so much money I don't believe it!"

"If you can't come up with the money later, see how your head gets chopped off."

He gritted his teeth with hatred, wishing that Ye Bufan didn't have the immortal crystal to pay and was killed on the spot by the Zhexinglou.

Two people spoke to each other, and everyone else just watched, including the beautiful female auctioneer on stage who didn't do anything to stop them.

This is perfectly normal. The bigger the two people's temper flares, the higher the price goes, which naturally pleases Zhexinglou.

Seeing that Zheng Qi had completely given up, the beautiful auctioneer entered the procedure, asking repeatedly until she got no response before dropping the hammer in her hand.

"The first item goes to this young master."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful maidservant immediately arrived with a tray, presenting him with the famed Qi Li Liu Xiang fruit.

At this moment, all eyes were on Ye Bufan, eager to see if this young man was truly wealthy.

You need to know that this is the Zixing Building. The chief manager has made it very clear before, if you don't have money and just randomly bid, disrupting the auction order, you will lose your head.

Zheng Qi widened his eyes, staring intently at this side, afraid of missing a detail.

"Master, this is your Thousand Miles Fragrance Fruit."

The maid brought over a tray of fruit.

Ye Bufan reached out and took the Thousand Miles Fragrance Fruit, then with a wave of his hand, a storage ring landed on the tray.

The maidservant picked up the ring and, with a sweep of her divine sense, discovered that it contained exactly one hundred thousand lower grade spirit crystals. Not one was missing.

At this time, Ye Bufan waved his hand again, and a thousand lower-grade immortal crystals floated in mid-air.

"This is a gift from me to you."

The maidservant's eyes instantly lit up with joy and excitement.

Having worked at the auction house for so many years, I've seen countless wealthy patrons, but a hundred or so low-grade immortal crystals is quite a significant sum.

A tip of a thousand dollars, that's quite a surprise. It's the first time I've ever received something like this.

"The slave thanks the master!"

After finishing, she put away the fairy crystals and walked happily backstage.

The entire marketplace was deathly silent. At this moment, it was clear that the person was truly wealthy, even their tip was so generous.
