Conquer the game world

Chapter 52 Bei Linhan

These past few days, Ye Feng has spent almost all his time cultivating. To call it cultivation is really just about grinding dungeons for experience. Of course, Ye Feng still can't access the Star Dust Sect's tower defense dungeon.

Meanwhile, at the Bei family's residence, Li Cheng was kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "I was wrong, I deserve to die, but please give me a chance."

“You should know the rules of the Bei family. To betray your own people and collude with outsiders to disrupt the duel is a death sentence,” the middle-aged man sitting in front said calmly. Li Cheng’s pleas for mercy clearly hadn’t changed his fate. “Take him out and clean him up.”

Three days later, Ye Feng left his residence. Today was the day of the joint auction, and Ye Feng didn't want to miss it.

This joint auction happened to be held at the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce. After Ye Feng arrived at the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce and explained his purpose, he was taken to the auction house of the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce.

When Ye Feng arrived at the auction, he found that some people had already arrived before him. Although there weren't many people, a few were already sitting there.

Ye Feng glanced around the room, found a corner seat and sat down. In fact, most of the people who had arrived were sitting alone in inconspicuous corners, and no one was talking to each other.

As time went on, more and more people entered the venue, and some people who knew each other started sitting together and chatting.

Soon after, the room was almost full, and at that moment, an old man walked up the steps.

As Lao Tzu appeared, the room gradually quieted down.

After waiting a while and until the scene quieted down, the old man said, "Welcome everyone to the joint auction. It is an honor for us, the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce, to hold this auction." After emphasizing the Flying Dragon Chamber of Commerce once more, the old man didn't waste any more words and quickly announced the start of the auction.

The first item auctioned was a Xuan-grade weapon, a Xuan-grade giant axe. In addition to its sharpness, it also possessed the attribute of strength, allowing the user to unleash even greater power. This Xuan-grade weapon was far more practical than the short sword Ye Feng initially sold, and thus the final transaction price was pushed up to five thousand purple gold coins.

"That's outrageous! Both are Xuan-level weapons, but yours is so much more expensive." Ye Feng muttered indignantly upon seeing the weapon, feeling resentful that his short sword had only sold for six hundred purple gold coins.

Watching the auction with boredom, Ye Feng saw that so far the items up for auction were only weapons and ordinary pills. He had no interest in these things and had not bid at all.

"Next up for auction is a high-level magical beast crystal, the Bright Crystal." The host announced the auction item.

"This, a Light Crystal?" Ye Feng was very surprised to hear about the Light Crystal. He knew very well that the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild had Flame Crystals among its auction items, and he had only come for the Flame Crystals.

Now that the Bright Crystal has appeared, it's clear that this auction item comes from the other two merchant guilds. That's why Ye Feng didn't know about it beforehand. Ye Feng only learned about the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild's auction items and, after confirming that the Flame Crystal was there, he stopped paying attention to the auction items from the other two merchant guilds.

The sudden appearance of the Bright Crystal gave Ye Feng pause, and he considered whether to buy it.

"The starting bid is 10,000 purple gold coins, and each bid must be at least 1,000 coins higher. Let's begin," the host casually announced.

The problem Ye Feng was considering was soon no longer a problem. Ye Feng only had 100,000 purple gold coins to begin with, and if he had to buy something, he could only buy one crystal.

The Bright Crystal was clearly more valuable, and the price quickly exceeded 100,000 Purple Gold Coins. After seeing this price, Ye Feng was no longer considering the Bright Crystal, but rather whether the Flame Crystal would also fetch a high price.

In the end, the Bright Crystal was sold for 150,000 Purple Gold Coins. The one who bought the Bright Crystal was Xu Bo from the Xu family. When Ye Feng saw Xu Bo, he remembered the things that happened at the auction house before, but Ye Feng's attention quickly returned to the auction items.

Seeing the auction items, Ye Feng was very frustrated, because the items being auctioned were exactly the five cultivation fruits that Ye Feng had sold some time ago, and the bids for these five cultivation fruits quickly exceeded 50,000 purple gold coins.

"Damn it, that swindler." Ye Feng couldn't help but curse. It was obvious that Ye Feng's sale of the cultivation fruit for 50,000 purple gold coins had made the Flying Dragon Merchant Guild another fortune.

In the end, the five Power Fruits sold for a high price of 100,000 Purple Gold Coins, and the guy who bought them was still excited. Ye Feng, who was sitting in the back and watching this scene, was not happy at all, but there was nothing he could do, since the items had already been sold.

"The next item up for auction is also a high-level magical beast crystal, a fire crystal."

Upon hearing the item announced by the host, Ye Feng stopped thinking about what had just happened and focused all his attention on the Flame Crystal. "The starting price is still 10,000 Purple Gold Coins, and each bid must be at least 1,000. Let's begin."

"Fifteen thousand"

"Twenty thousand"

"Thirty thousand"

Ye Feng didn't rush to make a bid, but listened to the other bids. Soon, the bids exceeded 50,000.

However, once the price exceeded 50,000, the frequency of quotations decreased, and the time intervals between each quotation became longer and longer.

Ye Feng finally made a bid of "80,000 purple gold coins," immediately raising the price to 80,000 purple gold coins. His aim was to intimidate those guys and secure the crystal.

After Ye Feng made his bid, the scene calmed down a bit, and no one else made a bid for a while.

"80,000 purple gold coins per time"

"Eighty thousand purple gold coins twice"

Just when Ye Feng thought he had secured the Flame Crystal and the host was about to call out the bid for the third time, an untimely offer suddenly appeared: "Nine thousand purple gold coins."

This made Ye Feng very unhappy. He looked in the direction of the sound, and he recognized the voice. At this moment, Ye Feng stood up and turned to glare at Xu Bo, who was sitting on the other side.

Xu Bo had obviously recognized Ye Feng as well, and was now turning around to look at Ye Feng with a smug expression.

Although Ye Feng was very unhappy with Xu Bo, the host couldn't wait. Seeing that the item was about to be taken away by Xu Bo, Ye Feng was naturally unwilling and quickly raised the price to 100,000 purple gold coins. This was also Ye Feng's last bid, as 100,000 purple gold coins represented all of Ye Feng's assets.

Seeing Ye Feng raise the price, Xu Bo did not hesitate to raise it again.

Upon hearing the price, Ye Feng fell silent. He had no more purple gold coins left to bid higher, so he sat down helplessly and stopped talking.

Meanwhile, Xu Bo saw Ye Feng sit down and knew that Ye Feng wouldn't raise the price anymore. He gave Ye Feng a smug smile, while Ye Feng responded with an angry expression. At this moment, Ye Feng was already thinking about whether to find a time to kill this guy and snatch the item.

"So, I don't think anyone will bid higher for 110,000 purple gold coins, right?" The old man on the steps saw that one of the two who were competing had already given up, and he figured the price wouldn't go any higher. He was about to announce the ownership of the Flame Crystal.

Suddenly, another bid came in for "120,000 purple gold coins," this time from a woman.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the young lady from the Bei family who had been in the arena earlier.

"Belinhan has joined in too, how interesting." The other people who didn't bid discussed. At this point, no one else would be foolish enough to raise the price, since the value of this flame crystal was far from that high.

"130,000 purple gold coins, Miss Bei, I really need this Flame Crystal. How about you let me have it?" Xu Bo gritted his teeth and quoted another price. It seems that Xu Bo didn't just buy the Flame Crystal to compete with Ye Feng. It seems that Xu Bo himself also really wanted to get this thing.

"150,000 purple gold coins" Bei Linhan didn't seem to have any intention of giving it to Xu Bo, and even raised the price by 20,000 in one go. "Young Master Xu, I'm really sorry, but this is something that I also really like. It's so beautiful in its fiery red color."

After this bid, Xu Bo stopped bidding. The price was indeed too high and not worth it. Moreover, he didn't have enough purple gold coins at home to raise the price any further.

In the end, after Ye Feng and Xu Bo argued back and forth, the Flame Crystal was won by Bei Linhan.
