Chapter 1683: Chapter 1552: Auctioning the Saint Heir
Auction Saint Heir...
This idea is too crazy!
Shocked, Hu Fei and others applauded, thinking that those people were simply asking for it.
"Brother Ye Fan, whoever offends you is really unlucky." Sikong Po joked with Ye Fan.
"I am inherently kind!" Ye Fan laughed.
"Tch!"
Even Ling Ziyuan and everyone else gave Ye Fan the middle finger, but they also knew that Ye Fan isn’t the kind of person who bullies the weak, he just always avenges his grudges!
This meal was full of joy, during which Hu Fei, Han Sandong, Shi Ye, and others helped Ye Fan devise plans on how to ensure these Saint Heirs would never hold their heads high again.
"Strip the Saint Heirs and make them do a striptease, touring performances in the cities of the Five Great Domains; it would surely earn a lot."
"Sell the Holy Maidens to the Sea of Desire, Compassionate Voyage in Flying Immortal City, guaranteed to be prosperous."
Their discussions made Gu Hao and Ling Ziyuan laugh and cry, and left Ye Fan dumbfounded — these people are far more devious than himself!
Compared to them, Ye Fan was practically the pure and kind-hearted young man.
"Alright, stop goofing around. At the latest tomorrow, I’ll give you an answer." Yaling decided, and everyone remained silent.
Jars of aromatic wine were uncorked, the fragrance permeated, and Xuan Beast Meat was cooking in the Big Furnace, the group continued to eat and drink heartily.
Early the next morning, Ye Fan received Yaling’s reply, the auction could proceed, but it would be held in Flying Immortal City because Flying Immortal City is the Holy City of the Northern Domain and its auctions are the largest.
Ye Fan had no objections to this, Yaling began preparations and brought out some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures along with various precious materials to create buzz.
Ye Fan also took out some Spiritual Treasures; since even Saint Heirs were to be auctioned, these Spiritual Treasures were naturally no big deal, Yaling accepted them all.
However, Ye Fan didn’t auction everything; he gave a Linglong Tower to Ling Ziyuan and other treasures to Shi Ye and Hu Fei.
Knowing the origins of these treasures, they said nothing, nor did they believe Ye Fan was framing them by giving them these treasures.
Within a few days, the news that Treasure Pavilion was going to hold a large auction spread to every corner of the Five Domains, with many people discussing it.
"According to rumors, the grand finale of this auction will be the strongest heir of an Emperor lineage!"
"Nonsense, how could the strongest heir of an Emperor lineage become auction items?"
"It’s true, now many people from Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects, and Gu Families are bringing their clan treasures and lots of Spirit Stones to Flying Immortal City, preparing to bid for their own Saint Heir!"
"Great Emperor, who came up with such a damaging idea?"
"It was probably that young man named Ye Fan. Last time, eighteen Saint Child Level strong people tried to kill him and failed; instead, he killed many of them. Some he didn’t kill but suppressed."
"This is a slap to the face of all the Holy Lands!"
"Treasure Pavilion is indeed wealthy and bold to accept such auction items, isn’t it a slap in the face to the Holy Masters of the Holy Lands?"
"..."
For a time, a storm surged through the Five Domains; every city, every village and town was talking about this matter. It was known to everyone, even ordinary folks heard about it.
Flying Immortal City became overcrowded overnight; not only were all the major hotels and inns full, even some private residences were forcibly rented.
With the help of Dean Old Immortal, Ye Fan suppressed these Saint Child Level strong people into different vessels and handed them to Yaling.
Yaling was also very cautious and directly invited several elders with the best reputation from Treasure Pavilion to take charge of the safety of these "auction items."
Speaking of which, Yaling didn’t endorse holding such an auction; the reason she helped Ye Fan was that she appreciated him and her grandfather supported it.
That afternoon when she learned Ye Fan wanted to auction Saint Heirs, she didn’t harbor much hope. When she reported it to her father, the Old Pavilion Master, her grandfather, was present and made the final decision.
After the decision was made, all the hype proceeded smoothly, quickly causing a sensation in the Five Domains!
Auctioning Saint Heirs, unprecedented; especially those Holy Lands and Wu Shang Sects that lost Saint Heirs, they were burning with anxiety.
As time passed day by day, Ye Fan, accompanied by Old Immortal, traversed the void and arrived at Flying Immortal City from Immortal Academy.
Because Ye Fan was the provider of this grand finale "auction item," he naturally held a place in Treasure Pavilion, and Old Immortal didn’t need mentioning.
In terms of strength and seniority, he can be considered the elder of the current Pavilion Master of Treasure Pavilion and even had some friendship with Yaling’s grandfather.
The two were quickly settled and awaited the auction, a storm brewing throughout Flying Immortal City, filled with a tense feeling as if a heavy storm was about to descend.
As time went on, finally the auction date approached, Treasure Pavilion widely sent hero invitations, and all sorts of figures arrived.
On the day the auction began, the entire auction hall was packed to the brim. Not only did the heroic lords from various factions arrive, but many reclusive old monsters were also alerted, all flocking to witness the spectacle.
Under such circumstances, security became the top priority, and the Old Bastard was invited to oversee the event to ensure the auction proceeded smoothly.
The dean of the Imperial Academy also arrived, along with the Old Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion and the Old Master of Ling Manor. With these four formidable experts overseeing the event, even a dragon would have to coil up obediently.
At the start of the auction, there was nothing particularly noteworthy – just some treasure medicines and materials, and at most a Venerable Level martial arts technique, which somewhat piqued people’s interest.
"Stop dawdling! We all know why we’re here. Hurry up and bring out the main event!" Some loose cultivators cried out, instigating the crowd.
They had received news beforehand that a Saint Heir would be auctioned this time, and they all wanted to see something new.
"Everyone, please be patient. Do not disrupt the auction process," the Old Bastard said robustly.
Ye Fan was in the VIP room at this moment, observing everything happening in the auction hall clearly through a large lens polished from Ink Crystal.
"Crimson Gold Bell, refined from crimson gold, is an absolute Venerable Realm spiritual treasure. I don’t need to introduce its origin, do I? The starting price is fifty thousand catties of spirit stones, remember, it’s high-grade spirit stones."
"Isn’t the Crimson Gold Bell a treasure of the Huang Jin Family? It looks like the main event is about to begin!"
"Did the Saint Heir of the Huang Jin Family also participate in besieging Ye Fan?"
"Isn’t that obvious? Otherwise, how would this Crimson Gold Bell appear here?"
"..."
With the sound of various discussions, the face of the Saint Lord from the Huang Jin Family turned as red as pig liver. He directly had a nearby elder quote a price, while his gaze, full of intimidating power, swept the surroundings, daring anyone to challenge him in bidding.
After all, the Crimson Gold Bell was a treasure of the Huang Jin Family and could not be allowed to fall into the hands of others.
Others harbored their own thoughts, and since no one wanted to compete with him over a Venerable Realm spiritual treasure, he easily obtained this treasure.
However, Ye Fan didn’t suffer a loss. He had anticipated this outcome, intending for the bidders to join forces to drive down the price, each redeeming their own treasures.
Precisely for this reason, Ye Fan set the starting price at almost exactly what the treasure was worth, ensuring a guaranteed profit with just a slight increase.
The auction continued, with one spiritual treasure or material after another being presented, each item eliciting gasps from the crowd as they were all treasures from various factions.
Of course, some items were completely unknown to outsiders apart from the sect members themselves, as not every treasure had high notoriety.
Once everything was auctioned off, Ye Fan had amassed a vast amount of high-grade spirit stones, which, when exchanged, amounted to twenty squares of top-grade spirit stones.
"Now, we will present our first rare auction item. Please keep your eyes wide open!" The auctioneer stirred the crowd’s excitement.
With his words, the Old Bastard and three Super Strong Men jointly set up a barrier and released a Saint Child Level expert from a Purple Gold Gourd, immediately sealing his Divine Power, rendering him immobile.
"There’s really someone?"
"Is the rumor true? Who is this person? Could he be a Saint Heir from a Holy Land?"
At this moment, a buzz of whispered conversations arose in the auction hall.
Is it true?
Among the crowd’s doubts, someone from Gu Families couldn’t sit still, as the heroic lords from various factions had all refined their Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, making them more familiar with their disciples.
"Auction item number thirty-one... cough cough... this is a Saint Child Level expert, possessing strength not inferior to a Saint Heir. Buying him surely won’t be a loss!"
The auctioneer spoke while coughing, having never been involved in such a bizarre situation, as strange occurrences happen every year, but this year had been especially peculiar.
Once the auctioneer announced the starting price, there were unexpectedly two factions competing in the bidding, and the atmosphere became quite intense with an air of ’never giving up until you’re dead.’
Ye Fan instantly found this amusing, having already anticipated such a situation, knowing that every faction has its own rival factions.
No matter which faction’s Saint Child Level expert was auctioned, they would undoubtedly bid to reclaim him, while opposing factions would attempt to seize the Saint Child Level expert for themselves.
Obtaining a rival faction’s Saint Heir not only delivers a fatal blow to their prestige and influence but also allows for an understanding and potential unraveling of their absolute techniques, which is the most crucial aspect.
With the two factions continually raising their bids, the only one who would benefit was Ye Fan, and thus he was very pleased at this moment.
The Old Bastard looked deeply at the VIP room where Ye Fan was hiding, admiring his precise forecasts immensely!
Even before the auction began, Ye Fan anticipated such an outcome, something that the Old Bastard had been skeptical about, but now believed in fully.
Ultimately, this Saint Child Level expert was auctioned at a sky-high price, allowing Ye Fan to make a huge profit!
And this was only just the beginning...
