Chapter 1539: Chapter 1539: A Price
At the same time, Wei Feng in another private room was also filled with cold laughter, "Xiao Yang, is it? I’ll show you how arrogant you can be! I want to see how many True Qi Pills you can produce!"
Beside him, Wei Xuan also smiled faintly. He came here specifically to overshadow Xiao Yang; if he couldn’t do it openly, then he’d use wealth to crush Xiao Yang secretly!
"Two thousand five hundred."
In his booth, Xiao Yang thought for a moment and directly threw out a number.
"Three thousand!"
Almost at the same time Xiao Yang voiced his bid, Wei Feng shouted again. This time, everyone’s eyes in the venue changed, realizing this was no longer a simple bidding war but a personal feud.
Clearly, there was some conflict between these two individuals in the booths, which explained why they were raising each other’s bids—to crush each other with wealth.
"So that’s it, unable to attack me openly, trying to regain face with wealth?"
Xiao Yang in the booth also laughed, "Since that’s the case, I’ll play along and see who loses; ten thousand."
As soon as this figure was declared, the entire venue quieted down; nearly all the guests couldn’t help but look up towards Xiao Yang’s booth.
This Spirit Communication Jade Talisman, worth at most fifteen hundred, yet Xiao Yang offered ten thousand; even though they knew Xiao Yang was locked in a money battle with someone else, they found this approach extremely intense.
In Wei Feng and Wei Xuan’s booth, silence fell as well, with both brothers looking sullen.
They hadn’t expected that Xiao Yang, an elite disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, would dare offer such a high price, clearly not giving them a chance to save face.
"What to do now?"
Wei Feng turned to Wei Xuan.
Wei Xuan’s eyes wavered before he broke into a cold smile, "Increase the bid! Just ten thousand True Qi Pills, nothing more."
"Fine, ten thousand one hundred!"
Wei Feng immediately called out.
"Heh heh, Mr. Wei, is this your level of generosity? Adding just one hundred True Qi Pills to buy something; you’ve lost all the Wei Family’s dignity."
Xiao Yang laughed, surprising those in the venue even more. No one expected the bidding party to be from the Wei Family, increasing intrigue around who dared to mock Mr. Wei so bluntly.
"Heh, a place like an auction is naturally won by the highest bidder, regardless of whether my brother adds a hundred or a thousand; as long as it’s more than yours, it counts. Mr. Xiao, how come you, as an elite disciple of the Zhengyang Sect, don’t understand this rule?"
Just then, another young voice sounded—it was Wei Xuan speaking.
At this moment, everyone in the venue exchanged glances, suddenly understanding.
"So, it’s an elite disciple of the Zhengyang Sect. No wonder he dares to stand firm against the Wei Family."
"Heh heh, the Wei Family might be dominant in Feng City, but they aren’t much near Lianyun Mountain. Now, the elite of Zhengyang Sect clashing with the Wei Family promises some good entertainment."
Discussions arose with everyone displaying an expression of eager anticipation.
"Ha ha, of course, I understand the rules; I just find it petty. Your bid is ten thousand one hundred, correct? Well, I’ll make another bid. If you outbid me, I’ll simply say Mr. Wei possesses impressive courage, respect."
Xiao Yang laughed aloud, "Fifty thousand!"
Buzz!
The whole place went silent!
Everyone’s eyes widened in that instant!
Fifty thousand True Qi Pills for a Spirit Communication Jade Talisman worth one thousand five hundred!
Such audacity beyond imagination.
Regardless of wanting face, this approach for face was excessive!
"What! Fifty thousand!"
In another booth, Wei Feng suddenly stood up, filled with disbelief, "How can he have so many True Qi Pills!"
Wei Xuan’s expression also stiffened, not expecting Xiao Yang’s boldness. He intended to crush Xiao Yang with wealth, yet Xiao Yang flipped it around using wealth to crush him!
"Heh, as it stands, I have Jubao Tower’s token rights protecting me equivalent to fifty thousand; I want to see if you dare to raise the bid."
Xiao Yang secretly sneered; he and Jiang Feng from Jubao Tower shared mutual interests. Since that’s so, the gifts from Jiang Feng should not go unused. As for whether the fifty thousand was wasteful, in reality, it couldn’t be extracted—only advanced, with expenses counted against Jiang Feng; so why should he fret?
"Mr. Xiao, such a price can’t be casually called out."
Wei Xuan now coldly replied, "You declared fifty thousand, so you must produce fifty thousand True Qi Pills. If you can’t, it won’t matter if you’re an elite disciple of the Zhengyang Sect—even a core disciple won’t suffice."
"Ha ha, if I’m bold enough to bid, I’m capable of delivering. If I weren’t aware of such rules, why would I come here?"
Xiao Yang laughed again, "But if you don’t believe it, we can ask someone from Baoying Pavilion to verify whether I can produce it. If I indeed provide it, will you dare to increase your bid?"
As these words were said, Wei Xuan and Wei Feng glanced toward each other, Wei Feng coldly stated, "I don’t believe an elite of Zhengyang Sect can manage fifty thousand!"
"I don’t believe it either; regardless of his value, he can’t possibly possess such wealth."
Wei Xuan’s eyes wavered, the next moment he raised his voice, "Fine, as long as you produce fifty thousand True Qi Pills, I’ll immediately bid higher. People from Baoying Pavilion, call an official to verify if Mr. Xiao can produce fifty thousand True Qi Pills."
"I’ll verify it personally."
Just then, a middle-aged man stepped forward from a corner of the venue—it was Zheng Yuan. The next moment, he walked quickly to Xiao Yang’s booth.
"Mr. Xiao, an auction isn’t a place to vent grievances nor a place for casual bidding."
Upon arriving, Zheng Yuan earnestly told Xiao Yang, "Should Mr. Xiao disrupt our Baoying Pavilion’s auction venue, even if we have a bond, it won’t help."
"Ha ha, Chief Zheng, what do you take me for? A foolish braggart lacking any capability? If I dared to bid, I’m sure I can deliver."
Xiao Yang laughed, then waved his hand, tossing the Jubao Tower token to Zheng Yuan.
"Chief Zheng, this represents your Baoying Pavilion branch in Fiery Sun City, a token from Jubao Tower, eligible to advance fifty thousand True Qi Pills, am I wrong?"
Xiao Yang smiled, and upon seeing the token Zheng Yuan’s expression changed too, "So that’s it, I hadn’t realized you have such deep ties with the Jiang Family. This token clearly indicates that Mr. Xiao can deliver fifty thousand True Qi Pills."
Saying this, Zheng Yuan clasped his hands respectfully then exited the booth, "I have verified; Mr. Xiao indeed can produce fifty thousand True Qi Pills."
"What!"
Hearing this, Wei Xuan and Wei Feng in the other booth’s faces changed, and whispers filled the venue.
"This Zhengyang Sect elite can actually deliver fifty thousand True Qi Pills? This isn’t simple; he must be a quasi-core disciple!"
"Exactly, such wealth held by him must be given by Zhengyang Sect’s high ranks, indicating a true top-tier talent!"
As discussions spread, Wei Xuan and Wei Feng in the other booth clenched their fists tightly.
"Why not stop bidding?"
Wei Feng’s face twisted, "Let him spend fifty thousand on such a lousy item!"
"That’s unacceptable."
Wei Xuan’s face turned dark, "We’ve already suffered a blow to our Wei Family’s prestige outside earlier. If we suffer here too, our entire Wei Family will become a joke."
"Damn it!"
Wei Feng cursed fiercely, but Wei Xuan took a deep breath several times, finally stating, "Raise the bid; no matter what, we must preserve our family’s final dignity."
"Fifty thousand one hundred!"
