Chapter 628: Chapter 173: Beaten by Harsh Reality! The Foolish Son of the Landlord’s Family
Or perhaps.
Their experience in the Jianghu is too shallow, so they’re a bit too naive.
Don’t really think that everyone will reason with you. This is the Jianghu, only when strength is equal do people wish to reason with you.
Once someone surpasses you in strength.
The fist becomes reason.
Thinking of this, Xie Fenghao couldn’t help but laugh, he understood it, but he had no intention of enlightening Ding Feichen.
Speaking of it.
Ding Feichen’s actions can also be seen as using the Xie family. Without the Xie family’s auction, it wouldn’t have gathered so many people.
There would naturally be no stage for Ding Feichen to ’perform’.
,,.
The auction quickly resumed.
One auction item after another was brought up.
Very soon, the atmosphere of the auction returned to its previous ’liveliness’, as if nothing had happened just now.
Neither Tian Zheng nor Ding Feichen had anything more to say.
Ye Liuyun looked bored; the items displayed by this internal auction of the Xie family were indeed good.
If his cultivation were still at the Innate or Grandmaster level, many of these items would be quite useful to Ye Liuyun.
But unfortunately, Ye Liuyun is now a Grandmaster.
Once one’s strength reaches a certain level, external objects cease to matter as much.
Or rather, at least with these levels of items, Ye Liuyun was definitely not impressed.
Seeing Ye Liuyun showing no intention to bid,
Xie Ling’Er also said nothing more, but sat quietly beside him, pouring tea for Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun thought that
this auction might just pass by so boringly, but unexpectedly.
"Clang!"
When the next auction item was brought out, Ye Liuyun slightly furrowed his brows.
Not only Ye Liuyun, many present also showed surprise, not because they saw something extraordinary about the item, but purely because it was too big!
"What is this?"
"A bell?"
"What use does this have?"
"Buy it to hear it ring?"
,,.
Looking at the nearly three-meter-tall bronze bell, many were bewildered. Though it looked aged and quaint, its function was not apparent at all.
If not for the fact that it was the Xie family hosting this auction,
those present might really think the Xie family was just amusing themselves at their expense.
Considering the Xie family’s reputation, some were puzzled, but they said nothing and quietly awaited the Xie family’s explanation.
"Everyone!"
After signaling for the bell bearers to leave, the host warmly smiled and said,
"This bronze bell was an accidental treasure acquired by the Xie family. To be honest, even we haven’t discerned its specific use."
"But one thing can be assured, this bell’s defensive power can withstand attacks from a Grandmaster!"
When they first obtained this bell, Xie Fenghao tried it out himself.
No special effect was discerned.
But even with full strength, it couldn’t be moved an inch.
Not even a crack appeared, showcasing the bronze bell’s defensive capability.
"This,,"
Hearing it could withstand attacks of a Grandmaster, many eyes in the crowd lit up.
However.
"Such a large thing, even if it can withstand a Grandmaster’s attack, so what?"
"Can you really carry this huge bell into a fight?"
Even if one could use Inner Strength to control it, how much Inner Strength would it consume for such a massive bell?
Though some questioned it, there were still those interested.
As cumbersome as it was, how many Spiritual Artifacts could actually defend against a Grandmaster’s attack?
"Starting bid, one million taels, if anyone is interested, you may start bidding now!"
The words fell, and silence enveloped the surroundings for a moment.
Though some were tempted, they didn’t rush to bid, intent on gauging the reactions of others first.
"One million!"
A moment later, someone bid.
And the bidder was none other than Ye Liuyun.
"Sir?"
Xie Ling’Er looked surprised, thinking Ye Liuyun might not find any auction item appealing, not expecting him to bid now. But why this bell?
"Just feels pleasing to the eye!"
To Xie Ling’Er’s curiosity, Ye Liuyun simply offered a casual explanation.
In truth,
Ye Liuyun didn’t see anything particularly special about the bronze bell either.
But the moment it appeared, he had an inexplicable inner feeling, to obtain it! He must have it!
It was as if destiny imbued him with its blessing.
When combined with his innate red-quality destiny trait, it was undoubtedly clear this bronze bell wasn’t an ordinary item, perhaps akin to the Starfall Immortal Scripture.
Both items could directly boost one’s strength.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun hadn’t forgotten he had ’wished’ earlier for a useful Spiritual Artifact, perhaps it’s this one.
"I see!"
Though unsure of the particulars, since Ye Liuyun had an interest in the bronze bell, it didn’t matter.
Just buy it.
"Finally, someone bids?"
Backstage, Xie Fenghao also noticed Ye Liuyun’s bid.
His heart sighed in relief.
It’s not a problem for Ye Liuyun to bid a lot, just as long as he bids at all.
