Chapter 1917 376: Auction
Regarding this kind of vulgar performance, Lin Yifan didn't want to watch, so he crossed his arms, closed his eyes to relax, and leaned against a wooden pillar.
The local hooligans and people of all trades were extremely interested in this kind of seductive dance, their eyes bulging out and drooling hungrily.
The flamboyant woman also found this distasteful, closed her eyes to relax, and quietly waited for the performance to end.
A few minutes later, the main act arrived.
Taking the stage at the auction was a strikingly beautiful woman.
Though not voluptuous with wide hips, her extraordinary aura was pure and unworldly, equally captivating the hearts of countless bidders.
"Little Yaoyao, I love you!"
"Little Yaoyao, take off your clothes!"
"Little Yaoyao, come serve us!"
...
The local hooligans and people of all trades were stirred with excitement.
Faced with this kind of unreasonable teasing, the woman on the auction stage smiled lightly, appearing as calm as a breeze: "If you want me to serve you, you'd better show what you're capable of."
"If you were an auction item, we could offer any price!"
"Young man, can you afford the Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads?" Zhang Yaoyao asked.
"Um... This..."
The jeering bidders were at a loss for words because collecting the Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads was indeed more difficult than reaching a peak, and some among them might never collect all Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads in their life.
Upon hearing the words "Twenty-Eight Constellations Beads," Lin Yifan slightly opened his eyes, wanting to see what was so extraordinary about this obviously greedy woman.
Upon discovering it was a slender, pure and unworldly girl, he somewhat understood why the hungry and thirsty crowd around him were in such a frenzy.
The extravagant woman on the second floor smirked, showing some disdain for this mundane beauty.
Two attractive women in one room would inevitably cause jealousy and rivalry, though she wasn't particularly beautiful herself.
On the auction stage, seeing the once highly agitated crowd suddenly fall silent, Zhang Yaoyao understood that these people weren't particularly capable.
If not for earning some extra cash, she wouldn't want to have much interaction with these common folks.
Quelling the commotion, she announced the official start of the auction.
The first auction item, of course, was the one with the lowest appraisal among all items.
Lin Yifan wasn't interested in such ordinary things, just a quick glance before ignoring it.
It wasn't until the fifth item, discovering it was a stone of good quality, that he immediately became interested and raised his hand to bid: "Fifty Superior Immortal Third Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
Fifty Superior Immortal Third Realm Spiritual Pearls was no small amount. With such a high opening price, everyone was curious about this generous bidder.
Looking over, upon discovering it was a man dressed like a farmer with a veiled hat, they were somewhat disappointed.
This kind of person was clearly concealing their true identity, preventing them from "laying claim."
Zhang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, glanced over, and then paid no more attention.
"Fifty Superior Immortal Third Realm Spiritual Pearls, is there a higher offer?"
"Thirty Superior Immortal Fourth Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
Suddenly, a voice came from a third-floor private room, wanting to compete with Lin Yifan.
No one present knew who was in the private room, only the auction personnel did.
Zhang Yaoyao didn't expect even the apprentice of a stone gambling master to bid, seemingly indicating the stone had something unusual about it.
However, she was curious how the veiled hat man figured this out, perhaps he was also a stone gambling master?
If so, it would certainly be interesting.
Thirty Superior Immortal Fourth Realm Spiritual Pearls were much more valuable than fifty Superior Immortal Third Realm Spiritual Pearls. Although fewer in number, their quality and power were greater.
If no better offer is made, the item cannot be won.
Lin Yifan felt the stone was worth more than thirty Superior Immortal Fourth Realm Spiritual Pearls, so he continued: "Ten Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this price, the auction hall erupted in amazement.
Clearly, this was a relatively high price, unexpected at this stage.
While everyone believed no one would offer a higher price, a voice again came from the third-floor private room: "Twenty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
"Thirty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls!" Lin Yifan continued to raise his hand to bid.
"Forty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
"Fifty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
Lin Yifan tirelessly continued to compete.
The crowd was startled by this intense rivalry, clearly believing this ordinary stone wasn't worth such a price.
After a long silence, no bids came from the third-floor private room.
The stone gambling master's apprentice lacked certainty that the stone contained a treasure, so he chose not to "go crazy" with Lin Yifan.
"Fifty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls once!"
"Fifty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls twice!"
"Fifty Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls three times!"
"Congratulations to this esteemed guest, for winning the excellent patterned and good-quality stone."
Zhang Yaoyao announced loudly with a cheerful expression on stage.
Achieving this price indeed exceeded her expectations.
Whether or not the man with the veiled hat was a fool, the auction made money, and she wasn't concerned with other matters.
With the stone taken down, Zhang Yaoyao continued auctioning other treasures.
Lin Yifan only bid on items he was interested in, not saying a word for those he didn't value.
The flamboyant woman on the second floor always felt the veiled hat man seemed familiar, his voice seemed deliberately altered, not his genuine voice.
Whether he was someone with strange actions or just the troublesome kid, either way, it was worth paying attention to.
The auction continued until the twelfth item, another one that caught Lin Yifan's eye.
This item was a type of poison.
Poison appearing at an auction was truly unheard of, unseen.
However, in the chaotic mix of Black Wind City, it wasn't unusually odd.
After all, among people of all trades, from Poison Sect to Evil Sect, they were all malicious people naturally needing vicious items.
This poison's starting price was ten Superior Immortal Fifth Realm Spiritual Pearls; there was contention for it.
After a brief fight, the price quickly reached ten High Immortal Second Realm Spiritual Pearls, which was rare.
Lin Yifan could afford twenty High Immortal Second Realm Spiritual Pearls, so he raised his hand to bid: "Twenty High Immortal Second Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
"Hiss!"
Everyone gasped, was this person a tycoon? How could his every offer be so high?
Everyone stared at him, thinking perhaps he was an auction plant, intentionally leading them to bid higher.
The poison was indeed deadly, even Profound Immortal realm experts couldn't withstand excessive use, so the Poison Sect cultivators were determined to compete with him.
"Thirty High Immortal Second Realm Spiritual Pearls!"
"Forty High Immortal Second Realm Spiritual Pearls!" Lin Yifan leisurely raised his hand to bid.
