Chapter 14 The Real Treasure
In the end, the first auction item sold for over five million at a high price.
There really are many wealthy people in this world.
Moreover, the selling prices of the subsequent auction items were more terrifying one after another.
Spending over ten million to buy a painting is something Ye Feng never dares to imagine.
Unfortunately, these ordinary antiques don't emit a golden glow like the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad.
Otherwise, Ye Feng would have found a way to absorb the golden glow to enhance his cultivation base.
At this moment, a strange disc appeared on the auction stage.
"The next item is quite extraordinary." As the disc appeared, the auctioneer shouted excitedly, "This is a Magical Artifact consecrated by a master."
"It has sleep aid and spirit nourishing effects. Once you get close to it, you'll feel your mind is cool and very pleasant. Everyone can come and try it out."
Amidst the auctioneer's cries, many people stepped forward to try it.
Ye Feng went to try it too, and it indeed felt like that.
Once close, it was incomparably refreshing and truly had sleep aid and spirit nourishing effects.
Moreover, Ye Feng also understood its principle.
This is just an ordinary disc with a simple Nourishing Spirit Array carved on it.
Such an Array, as long as there are materials, Ye Feng can make as many as he wants, even a hundred times more advanced than this, he could make as well.
He was puzzled as to how this thing could become a treasured item pursued by everyone?
If this thing can really fetch a high price, wouldn't Ye Feng become rich?
At this moment, Ye Feng noticed that Xu Kun beside him seemed very excited.
Seeing this, Ye Feng hurriedly asked, "You can't be interested in this thing, right?"
"This is truly a good item; if I buy it back for my grandfather, he will surely like it." Xu Kun nodded, answering with determination.
"Then you're bound to be disappointed; I am determined to get this thing." Hearing Xu Kun's words, Ryi Jie next to him provocatively glanced at Xu Kun.
"You can try." Xu Kun snorted coldly, holding back in his mind.
"This treasure has no starting bid and you can add any bid, the auction starts now." After everyone had looked over, the auctioneer signaled with a smile.
"Five million!"
"You really think you can buy such a great treasure for five million? Ridiculous, I bid ten million."
"Eleven million!"
"Twelve million!"
As the auction started, the scene was suddenly full of tension, as if everyone was interested in this treasure.
Indeed, for many wealthy individuals, health is even more important than wealth.
Seeing this, Ye Feng was stunned.
If this trend holds, if he crafted more advanced and better Arrays, wouldn't he strike it rich?
"Twenty million!" At this moment, Ryi Jie spoke, directly raising the price to twenty million.
"Twenty-five million!" Xu Kun was immediately unconvinced, clashing with Ryi Jie.
This time, Xu Kun came with a mission, his father gave him ample funds, knowing this would be a tough battle.
"Forty million!" Ryi Jie waved his hand, instantly raising the price to forty million, aiming to overwhelm everyone with momentum.
"Fifty million!" Xu Kun didn't back down at all.
The price was pushed up to over seventy million amidst their shouts.
At this time, both men were more cautious, increasing the bid by tens of thousands every time.
Seeing Xu Kun preparing to continue the bid, Ye Feng advised, "Call eighty million!"
Xu Kun looked at Ye Feng, then made up his mind, shouting, "Eighty million."
As Xu Kun called out eighty million, Ye Feng glanced at Ryi Jie's expression.
Ryi Jie froze for a moment, then decisively followed, "Eighty million and fifty thousand."
Under Ye Feng's guidance, Xu Kun gradually raised the price.
At the same time, Ye Feng also paid attention to Ryi Jie's changing expressions.
Finally, at eighty-five million, Ryi Jie obviously hesitated, but in the end, reluctantly raised his hand, "Eighty-five million and fifty thousand!"
This must be Ryi Jie's limit.
"Still increasing?" Xu Kun asked.
"No need anymore, this thing isn't worth it, I'll make it for you later." Ye Feng smiled and shook his head.
Seeing Xu Kun stop raising the bid, Ryi Jie immediately laughed delightedly, mocking, "What, Young Master Xu ran out of money? So little ability?"
"You..." Xu Kun was extremely upset.
But, Ye Feng stopped him, then Ye Feng looked at Ryi Jie disdainfully, mocking, "Over eighty million, Young Master Ryi really is a fool with more money than sense. Young Master Xu never intended to buy this, but watching you spend so much extra, it's truly satisfying."
"You damn..." Ryi Jie was also furious.
Over eighty million, indeed much more than his expectation, he spent a lot more, and now being mocked by Ye Feng, he immediately remembered Ye Feng.
Seeing this, Xu Kun laughed.
Thinking further, is such a thing really worth so much money?
Thinking of it this way, he felt much more at ease.
Moreover, seeing Ryi Jie suffer a loss, he felt even more satisfied.
Meanwhile, another item was being placed on the auction stage again.
This item looked like a fine wood carving, made from rare wood, immensely valuable.
This wasn't the most important thing, the most important was that Ye Feng saw a dazzling golden glow on it.
Moreover, it seemed the golden glow wasn't emanating from the wood carving, but from something more precious inside it.
This time the golden glow was even stronger than the previous Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad. After absorbing it, Ye Feng's strength would surely increase greatly, perhaps enough to heal Xu Tong's illness.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Ye Feng hurriedly activated X-ray Vision.
However, with the golden glow so intense, he couldn't see what was inside at all.
It seems that only after absorbing the golden glow can he clearly see what is inside.
Therefore, Ye Feng must get his hands on this thing, no matter what it takes.
But, the wood carving was very valuable, Ye Feng's forty thousand definitely couldn't buy it, making Ye Feng a bit troubled.
So, Ye Feng pulled Xu Kun over and quietly suggested, "Help me buy this thing, I'll place the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad as collateral with you."
"Sure!" Xu Kun agreed without even thinking.
Indeed, the wood carving was very beautiful, and the material was extremely precious old agarwood, at least a century-old, which was very valuable.
From the start, someone bid five million. In the eyes of these people, money seemed not to be money; it was horrifying.
This was just the beginning, the price would definitely keep rising, getting scarier and scarier.
Wasn't it so? Even before Xu Kun opened his mouth, the price rocketed to the million-level.
It seems Ye Feng underestimated the power of this century-old agarwood.
Quite a few people wanted to obtain it.
But, Ye Feng was determined to get this thing, he would buy it at any cost...
