79: C79 Struggle

C79 Struggle

"Everyone, once this sword item is auctioned off, we have an important piece of information to inform everyone about." Yanfeng said with a smile as he looked at the expectant crowd.

"The auction starts now, there's no starting bid." Yanfeng squinted his eyes as a hint of craftiness flashed across his eyes.

"Thirty thousand gold."

Someone directly spoke up the moment Yanfeng finished his sentence.

"Thirty-one thousand gold."

The bids continued to be called out, but compared to the previous competition, it was now much more dull.

Gu Feng stared at the black rock and retracted his gaze bitterly. However, just as he was about to return to his seat, the Stellar Fate in his body throbbed inexplicably. The five stars trembled, as if they wanted to break out of his body.

Gu Feng's eyes focused and his body trembled. His eyes were filled with surprise as he looked at the rock that could break. The source of the Stellar Fate's throbbing in his body was precisely that unremarkable stone. And that kind of throbbing was a kind of desire.

"Phew …"

Gu Feng took a deep breath and looked at the black rock with a burning gaze.

"No matter what you are, I want that." Gu Feng muttered.

"One hundred thousand!"

At this time, the price of the stone had already risen to 100,000 taels.

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Gu Feng let out a long breath. He tried his best to suppress his excited mood and said calmly.

"Hua …"

The crowd burst into an uproar. Looking at Gu Feng, an increase of fifty thousand silver taels in one go was already not a small amount for this crappy stone.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Everyone was stunned. The entire auction house quieted down. Spending one hundred and fifty thousand to buy a crappy rock of unknown use, only fools and wealthy rich people would do such a thing. Of course, Gu Feng wasn't an idiot.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Inside the Bai Family box, Mo Loong spoke, and the corner of his mouth twitched into a sneer. Brat, if you want to obtain it without paying any price, don't even think about it. This time, I will definitely peel off a layer of skin for you.

Gu Feng was silent for a moment, a cold light flashing through his eyes. And then, he grinned. "Master Yanfeng, I wonder, if a person doesn't have that much money on him, why is he participating in the auction, is it a deliberate attempt to cause trouble?"

"Of course, and towards this sort of troublesome behavior, it will be seen as a provocation towards our Shining Golden Auction House." Yanfeng also said loudly.

"Alright, since this unknown person wants to participate in the auction, shouldn't you take it out to prove that you have the ability to do so?" Gu Feng laughed coldly. Although Mo Loong was a genius disciple of Snow Cold Palace, he had already spent five hundred thousand gold.

Mo Loong's expression froze. Indeed, he didn't have that much silver for the auction. Right now, he only had a total of 1000 silver at most.

"Damn it."

"I wonder if this gentleman has the money to participate in the auction?"

Yanfeng looked towards Wu Jun.

"This …" Mo Loong had an ugly expression on his face.

"Nephew Mo Loong, you can bid, and my Bai Family will bear the burden for you." Bai Ming, who was at the side, said with a smile. Spending some money to rope in a future Soul Forging Realm practitioner was definitely worth it. Furthermore, if nothing unexpected happened to Mo Loong, he would definitely become one of the higher-ups in the Snow Cold Palace in the future. This was also the reason why they had Red Jade be on good terms with him.

"You don't have to worry about this Master Yanfeng. If I were to win the bid, I would be able to afford it." With Bai Family's promise, Mo Loong was also full of confidence.

"Bai Family again?" A cold light flashed across Gu Feng's eyes.1

"Three hundred thousand!" Gu Feng spoke again without any hesitation.

"Four hundred thousand." Mo Loong's expression was indifferent.

Gu Feng was silent for a moment. Judging from Mo Loong's reaction, it was clear that he did not intend to let him get the stone so easily.

"Five hundred thousand." Gu Feng clenched his teeth and said. 500,000 silver, this was all he had.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand." Mo Loong's face was full of ridicule, he wanted to see how long this Gu Feng could hold out for. In terms of wealth, how could a brat compare to the Bai Family of the number one clan in Yan City?

However, Mo Loong didn't notice that Bai Ming's face on the side couldn't help but twitch and feel pain. Five hundred and fifty thousand gold, to them, Bai Family was a large sum of money as well.

Hearing Mo Loong's words, Gu Feng returned to his seat indifferently. He no longer had that much money to bid for.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand. For the first time."

"Five hundred and fifty thousand, second time."

Yanfeng was so excited that his chubby face kept trembling. Even he didn't expect that this rock, which had nothing but its toughness, would be able to fetch such a high price.

"Is there anyone else?"

Yanfeng raised the hammer in his hand and scanned the crowd. He really hoped that someone would be able to increase the price again. However, other than the three great clans and the City Lord's Mansion, no one else present was able to afford to pay such a high price.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand …"

Just as Yanfeng was about to announce the deal, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "One million silver."

It quieted down as everyone was shocked by the price. Many people held onto their chests with faces full of disbelief.

"One million …"

"Gulp …"

The auction house was filled with the sound of people swallowing their saliva. This was definitely a sky-high price, something that had not happened in decades.

Even Master Yanfeng was stunned.

After a long time, everyone finally regained their senses. In the box of the City Lord's Mansion, Fenng Wuji stood up and dusted off his clothes. His face was extremely calm.

Xuan Su and the middle-aged scholar also had expressions of surprise on their faces. They clearly didn't expect Fenng Wuji to do such a thing.

"Daddy, don't you have so much money that you can't spend it anywhere? You actually want to buy such a crappy stone." You might as well buy me something delicious. " Fenng Zhidie said with some dissatisfaction.

"You little glutton." Fenng Wuji smiled and continued.

"One million silver. Is there still anyone willing to raise the bid?"

Yanfeng was so excited that he was dancing with joy.

"I …" Mo Loong was stunned, he clenched his teeth and was about to increase the price.

"Honorable Nephew Mo Loong, do not lose control over this moment of anger." Bai Ming walked up quickly and stopped Mo Loong with a panicked expression. If he were to continue shouting like this, they would probably have to tighten their Bai Family belt.

"Alright, I understand." Although Mo Loong's face was filled with displeasure, that money was after all Bai Family. The reason he came to the Bai Family this time, was also for the sake of Red Jade. It was also to get the support of the Bai Family, so that his position in the sect would be even more stable.
