Chapter 203 Competing
In the entire venue, only Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an are still bidding. Two people come and go, one calls the price, and the other immediately follows.
Because the two kept calling for prices, within a short time, the price of the Shennong Ding had soared to a sky-high price of one billion. Moreover, looking at the trend of these two people, it seems that the bidding will continue.
The auctioneers on the stage have turned from excitement at the beginning to numbness now. He even felt a little frightened. Now the two bidding under the stage, one is the fiancée of the head of the Huangfu family, and the other is the head of the Ye family. It seems that no one is easy to offend.
Now he is a little worried, if the one that cannot be photographed by then, will he be angry with them. And the one that was photographed will not be dissatisfied because the price is too high.
As for the other people in the venue, they looked very interested, watching the coming and going between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an. Now they just want to see, in the end, who can get the Shennong Cauldron.
This Shennong Ding is indeed very attractive, but it is not worth such a sky-high price. Those alchemists who couldn't get the Shennong Ding in the past seemed to feel less uncomfortable after seeing the price soar.
At this time, Ye Hongxuan's face had become ugly. He originally thought that there would not be many people present who could compete with him. The price he originally planned in his heart was only 500 million spiritual coins at most. However, the price has now doubled. Moreover, looking at Ye An'an's appearance that night, it seemed that she didn't intend to stop at this point. If this continues, what kind of sky-high price will be reached by then is really uncertain.
It's just that it's already reached this point, if he is asked to give up now, he won't be reconciled.
"What the **** is she doing!" Yewan on the side seemed a little irritable at this moment, "She is not an alchemist, why does she keep robbing this Shennong cauldron like this with us! Did she do it on purpose!"
Beside Ye Hongxuan, after hearing Ye Wan's words, his originally ugly face became even more gloomy.
The auction is still going on, and Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an are still competing for the Shennong Ding, and the price has risen to 1.1 billion, and neither of them has the idea of dying.
Finally, Ye Hongxuan raised his hand, turned to the stage, and said, "Hi, I wonder if the auction can be temporarily stopped! I want to have a word with that Miss Ye."
Requesting a pause in the middle of the auction, such a thing, can be said to be unprecedented.
The auctioneer on the stage couldn't make a decision at this time, so after asking his superiors for instructions, he finally agreed.
After all, seeing the stalemate between these two people, I don't know how long it will last. Although it is said that the higher the price of the auction item, the higher their commission will be in the end. However, now that both parties are big bosses, neither of them wants to offend. Anyway, the price of the Shennong Ding has already reached a high price of 1.1 billion, which is much higher than what they expected.
So, no matter which side of them ends up in the end, there is no loss for their auction house. Moreover, it would be the best if the two could talk well. After all, there are other auction items below. If they continue like this, it is very likely that it will also affect the auction of other auction items.
After getting the auctioneer's answer, Ye Hongxuan looked in Ye Leng'an's direction, and said, "Patriarch Huangfu, Miss Ye, can I take a step to speak?"
Huangfu Ruiling didn't answer right away, but looked at Ye Leng'an beside him, and handed over the decision to Ye Leng'an's book
Ye Leng'an nodded, but did not refuse.
She naturally knew why Ye Hongxuan was looking for her at this time. Zuo was just trying to persuade her to give up the Shennong Ding. It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to let the other party do what I want. Because, no matter what, she must get the Shennong Ding.
Moreover, even if Ye Hongxuan got the Shennong Ding, it would not be of much use, it was just a fragment. Even if it is really used for alchemy, it will not be able to play a tenth of the role of Shennongding. Of course, this must be a little bit better than the average alchemy furnace, but no more.
Soon, several people got up and walked outside.
Naturally, it is impossible to stay in the venue alone at night, so after thinking about it, she still followed.
Seeing the backs of several people leaving, the other people in the venue were very curious, wanting to know how the negotiation between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an would be. In the end, who will choose to give up the Shennong Ding.
However, they have no way to go out to watch, so they can only stay in the venue and wait.
Quite a few people began to look carefully at the Shennong Ding on the stage, as if they all wanted to see what kind of charm this Shennong Ding had, which would allow Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an to **** it away like this.
At this time, the atmosphere between Ye Hongxuan and Ye Leng'an outside was indeed not very good, it could even be said to be a little embarrassing.
Ye Hongxuan originally called him out to persuade him to give up the Shennong Ding. However, seeing the other party's indifferent appearance now, he didn't know how to speak for a while.
Ye Leng'an didn't speak first, but was waiting for Ye Hongxuan to speak.
As for Huangfu Ruiling, he stood quietly beside Ye Leng'an, like a patron saint.
It was late at night, and she was a little anxious at this time. She quickly reached out her hand and tugged at the corner of her father's clothes. Seeing that her father still didn't speak, she couldn't help but speak directly, "Miss Ye, we really need this Shennong cauldron. I wonder if you can withdraw from this auction?"
"Oh," Ye Leng'an nodded, and then slowly said in Yewan's expectant eyes, "I see. However, I also need this Shennong cauldron very much, so I don't intend to withdraw from the auction."
"You—" Ye Wanwan frowned, and his tone was a bit bad, "This Shennong Ding is an alchemy furnace, mainly used for alchemy. It is only useful for alchemists. It is completely unreasonable for you to be so persistent in getting it!"
"But, you are here to persuade me to withdraw from the bidding, is it reasonable?" Ye Leng'an was not angry, she shrugged and continued, "Now it is an auction, so naturally the highest bidder will get it. If you also want this Shennong Ding, just continue to increase the price!"
"Miss Ye, we sincerely want to talk to you." Ye Hongxuan took a deep breath and said, "Our Ye family has been alchemists for generations, so the Shennong Ding is really important to us. We won't let you suffer, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the bidding, we can compensate you."
"I don't need any compensation." Ye Leng'an shook his head with a smile, "You need the Shennong Ding, and I also need the Shennong Ding, so I don't think there is any agreement between us. Let's go back to the auction site and let's each rely on our own abilities!"
"Miss Ye, why are you so obsessed with the Shennong Ding?" Ye Hongxuan frowned, and continued to speak, "This Shennong Ding is not an ordinary item, only alchemists need to use it. You paid such a high price, so what can you do if you get it! Why bother to lose in the end?"
"Then how do you know that I'm not an alchemist?" Ye Leng'an smiled, "Since you've already said it, this Shennong cauldron is very important to an alchemist. Then compare your heart, I am also an alchemist, and I need this Shennong cauldron very much! So, why are you afraid that I will back down?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Hongxuan and Yewan were a little stunned. They never expected that the fiancée of the Patriarch Huangfu was also an alchemist.
Then things are really difficult now. Obviously, as long as they are alchemists, they will never back down if they have a chance to win the Shennong Cauldron.
And, most importantly, if this continues, they may not be able to take the picture of the Shennong Ding. Behind this Ye An'an is Huangfu Ling, the head of the Huangfu family. The financial resources of the Huangfu family are definitely much better than those of the Ye family.
Although the elixirs refined by the Ye family are very popular, alchemists are very expensive. Therefore, the background of the Ye family is indeed inferior to that of the Huangfu family.
Ye Hongxuan is also very clear that even if he is the head of the Ye family, it is impossible for him to spend everything in the entire Ye family just to win this Shennong cauldron.
So, in the end, it is really uncertain whose hands the Shennong Ding will fall into.
"Miss Ye, since you are also an alchemist, you should be very aware of our Ye family's strength!" Ye Hongxuan said after careful consideration, "As long as you are willing to back down, I will make the decision to let you enter the Ye family to learn. The alchemy skills of the Ye family will definitely improve your alchemy."
This is not an exaggeration. It can be said that in the entire hidden world, the best alchemists are all concentrated in the Ye family. However, people in the Ye family generally rarely accept outsiders as apprentices, unless that person is really extremely talented.
All the alchemists in the Hidden World want to study in Ye Family, but not all of them have the opportunity.
"Master Ye, thank you very much for your importance to me." Ye Leng'an shook his head, "It's just that I don't need such an opportunity, you should leave it to others! All I want is the Shennong Cauldron."
Seeing Ye Leng'an's reticence, Ye Hongxuan didn't know what to say.
"Then what are you going to do to give up the bidding!" Ye Wan looked anxiously at the side, and quickly said, "As long as you are willing to back down, we can compensate you. Besides, you are also an alchemist, so you should know that it is absolutely beneficial and harmless for you to make friends with our Ye family."
While speaking, Yewan's tone was a little anxious, even a little aggressive.
Ye Hongxuan's expression changed back and forth, and his heart turned back and forth.
In the end, the conversation between the two sides did not have any effect.
Soon, several people returned to the scene. The expressions of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an did not change at all, perhaps it should be said that there was no superfluous expression on their faces.
However, the complexions of Ye Hongxuan and Yewan were not very good, they could even be said to be a bit ugly. Especially at night, his face was so dark that it could almost drip ink.
After several people returned to the scene, the bidding started again immediately.
Ye Leng'an's bidding was still straightforward, and it was not long after Ye Hongxuan called for a price increase.
Ye Hongxuan, on the other hand, seemed a little hesitant. Even after Ye Leng'an raised the price, he had to think about it before raising the price again. Moreover, the range of his price increase has also become much smaller.
Seeing such a situation, everyone couldn't help but start guessing. I'm afraid this auction item will end up in the hands of the fiancée of the Patriarch Huangfu.
However, they did not expect that the Patriarch Huangfu would be willing to pay such a high price for his fiancée. It can be seen that he really values this fiancée very much!
The night I have been watching, I feel more and more anxious. But there was no other way but to watch.
Just when everyone thought that Ye Hongxuan would give up bidding in the end, he got up again and said, "Hello, I think it's futile to continue bidding like this. I would like to ask, can you contact the owner of this auction item and ask him if you can exchange it with other things?"
After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, the auctioneer on the stage froze for a moment, "Master Ye, what do you mean—"
"In addition to the 1.2 billion spirit coins, I am willing to add one more rejuvenation pill." Ye Hongxuan said directly, "You can ask the seller if he is willing to accept such a transaction."
1.2 billion is the current price.
"Rejuvenation Pill?" After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, the auctioneer on the stage was stunned. He gasped, and then said, "I still need to ask for instructions."
This is the first time in his auction career as an auctioneer for so many years. However, presumably, whether it is the superior or the seller, they should agree.
After all, this time Chundan is no ordinary medicine. That is the pill that is second only to the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill, and its rarity is naturally second only to the Jiuzhuan Resurrection Pill. Although it doesn't have the miraculous effect of the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill, but when you are seriously injured and still breathing, take the Rejuvenation Pill, and you will get better after a while.
It's just that it's not easy to refine the Spring Pill this time. Even after refining it, some alchemists will keep it for their own use, and rarely sell it. After all, to refine Rejuvenation Pill, the medicinal materials and spiritual plants needed are very precious. Therefore, the rejuvenation pills that can be circulated in the market can be counted with ten fingers. Its value is naturally conceivable.
However, the Ye family is a family of alchemists, so it is normal to be able to produce rejuvenation pills.
Yewan turned towards Ye Leng'an, and cast a look of concern.
Hmph, do you really think that with the backing of the Huangfu family, you can get the Shennong Ding? Their Ye family also has a deep heritage, and not everyone can get the Rejuvenation Pill. In the end, who will win the deer, it is really not certain!
Other people present also began to envy and hate the mysterious seller behind the Shennong Ding. It was just an auction of an alchemy furnace, but it was sold at the highest price in the audience. Not only that, but now the owner of the Ye family actually directly produced a rejuvenation pill in order to get this alchemy furnace.
That’s Rejuvenation Pill! What a life-saving medicine! They also want to get it!
Soon, the auctioneer came back. He nodded towards Ye Hongxuan, and said respectfully, "Master Ye, the other party has agreed to your request. He promised that as long as he can take out the Rejuvenation Pill and 1.2 billion spirit coins, then the Shennong Cauldron will belong to you."
Actually, the seller behind that not only agreed, but agreed almost immediately. However, it's no wonder that it is the Rejuvenation Pill, which can be said to be a life-saving pill that most people in the hidden world want to have. After all, no one knows when they will encounter any danger. With this life-saving elixir, it is equivalent to an extra layer of protection, who wouldn't want it!
The expressions of joy on Ye Hongxuan and Yewan's faces were obvious.
Ye Wan even cast a provocative look in Ye Leng'an's direction.
The auctioneer then turned his head and looked at Ye Leng'an with an apology in his eyes, "Miss Ye, I'm sorry, we—"
The auctioneer was stopped by Ye Leng'an before he finished speaking.
"Wait a minute." Ye Leng'an raised his hand and directly interrupted the auctioneer, "Then the seller behind, is he willing to give the Shennong Cauldron to whoever he promises as long as he only needs 1.2 billion spirit coins and a Rejuvenation Pill? Or is he only willing to accept Master Ye's 1.2 billion spirit coins and Rejuvenation Pill?"
After hearing Ye Leng'an's question, the auctioneer's eyebrows twitched, and he had a vague guess in his heart, "Miss Ye, what do you mean—"
Ye Hongxuan on the side had a calm expression, but immediately changed again. When he looked at Ye Leng'an, he was also tinged with vigilance and jealousy, with a trace of displeasure at the same time.
However, there is still a trace of luck in his heart, that is, there is no Rejuvenation Pill in the opponent's hand. You must know that not all alchemists can refine the Rejuvenation Pill.
Rejuvenation Pill is a high-level elixir. If you want to refine Rejuvenation Pill, you must first become a high-level alchemist. However, the technique of alchemy cannot be perfected overnight, it must be achieved through years of accumulation. Therefore, generally speaking, those who can become high-level alchemists are almost all alchemists who are close to a thousand years old.
He could tell that Ye An'an in front of him didn't take any elixir to maintain youth. The real age of the other party is still very immature, maybe around the same age as Wanwan. Therefore, even if he knew that the other party was an alchemist, he didn't take it too seriously.
However, the behavior of the other party now seems to indicate that she also has the Rejuvenation Pill in her hand.
Ye Leng'an didn't pay attention to other people's reactions, she continued to speak, "I can also get 1.2 billion spiritual coins and a rejuvenation pill! Then who are you going to give the pill to?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were on Ye Leng'an. At the same time, everyone also felt a little heartbroken! Rejuvenation Pill, that is Rejuvenation Pill! Why do these people say that they can take it out! This is not Chinese cabbage, how can it be so simple to say it in other people's mouths!
Sure enough, there are still differences between people. They also want to have a Rejuvenation Pill! I only regret that they don't have the Shennong Ding that attracts alchemists like this!
"Miss Ye, you are so despicable!" Ye Anan on the side couldn't hold her breath anymore, and said directly, "We made this proposal first, and now you are here to fight with us, isn't it a little wicked of you?"
"If you don't want your tongue anymore, then I don't mind helping you out."
An icy voice sounded, and it was Huangfu Ruiling who spoke, and at the same time, his icy eyes fell on Yewan.
Suddenly, Yewan felt as if he had suddenly come to a world of ice and snow, only feeling cold all over his body, without a trace of warmth. She even felt that her limbs were going to be frozen, and she couldn't even move. This time, she seemed to have returned to the way she was slaughtered in the morning.
At this time, she finally realized clearly again that the two people in front of her were not ordinary people, they were the head of the Huangfu family and his fiancée, people she could not afford to offend.
"Patriarch Huangfu, my daughter didn't do it on purpose." Ye Hongxuan immediately took a step forward, blocking Huangfu Ruiling's sight, and apologized, "She is too young and can't speak, please have a lot of adults, don't argue with her this time."
Huangfu Ruiling's eyes fell on Ye Hongxuan.
The cold eyes made Ye Hongxuan feel a sense of fear in his heart. At this moment, he could clearly feel the power of Huangfu Ruiling. It seemed that his life and death depended entirely on the other party's thought.
Before, he only knew that the head of the Huangfu family was very powerful. But now, he has a clearer understanding of the opponent's strength.
Just when Ye Hongxuan thought he was going to lose it, Huangfu Ruiling finally withdrew his gaze.
Ye Hongxuan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that his legs were going to be weak.
"Master Ye, Miss Ye." Ye Leng'an looked at Ye Hongxuan and Ye Wan, and said with a smile, "I think you may have forgotten one fact, that is, this is an auction, and the emphasis is not on first come, first served, but on the highest bidder. If you can bid, so can I, so there should be fair competition, right?"
After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an turned his head, and before Ye Hongxuan could answer, he looked at the auctioneer again, and said again, "I would like to offer an extra Rejuvenation Pill. I think the seller behind the Shennong Cauldron should be more satisfied with my price!"
