The wealth of the Nine Heavens was comparable to that of a country, and the Shangguan Clan was naturally filthy rich as well.
It could be said that Shangguan Fugui was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. He had always gotten whatever he wanted, which had also developed his arrogant temper. Shen Yizhou deliberately made friends with him, and after a few days, Shangguan Fugui had already regarded him as a good friend.
Today, Shen Yizhou had brought Shangguan Fugui here to cause a conflict between him and Shen Zhenyi.
When he heard Shangguan Fugui's question, he sneered and said, "You haven't seen how arrogant he is yet. You will see how overbearing he is during the auction later. "
"Oh." Shangguan Fugui nodded. The flesh on his neck was shaking non-stop as he looked at Shen Zhenyi with provocative eyes.
Shen Zhenyi was baffled. He didn't even know who the other party was, so he could only think that they were fools provoked by Shen Zhenyi.
Shen Zhenyi wasn't interested in the first few items, so he simply closed his eyes and used his Yang Spirit. Shen Yizhou wanted to exaggerate Shen Zhenyi's overbearing nature, but he couldn't find an opportunity to do so. He could only wait patiently while gnashing his teeth in hatred.
About halfway through the auction, the Nine Heavens took out a Demonic Flame Bodhi, which made Shen Zhenyi open his eyes.
"The World of Eight Cultivators also has this kind of thing?"
Shen Zhenyi clicked his tongue in wonder.
Cynanchum Chinense curiously asked, "Is this thing very precious?"
Shen Zhenyi shook his head, then nodded. "In a place with demon blood, this is nothing. But the World of Eight Cultivators didn't have any demon invasion, and yet it still has a Demonic Flame Bodhi. This is interesting. Let's buy this thing. "
Cynanchum Chinense expressed that she didn't understand what her master was talking about. Demon blood, invasion, and the like sounded like nonsense.
But since her master said to buy it, Cynanchum Chinense loyally carried out his order.
The people of the World of Eight Cultivators didn't know how to use this thing, so although it was rare, its price was only 30,000 taels of gold.
Cynanchum Chinense casually called out a hundred thousand taels and planned to accept it.
Shen Yizhou's eyes lit up. He instigated in Shangguan Fugui's ear, "Look at how arrogant he is. He asked for one hundred thousand taels in one breath. It's as if he's bullying others because they don't have money."
Shangguan Fugui hated it when people looked down on him for being poor. He said angrily, "How can I let him do as he wishes? Two hundred thousand taels! "
As soon as he started to bid, many people in the hall tried to stifle their laughter. The Nine Heavens disciple in charge of the auction was also embarrassed. Shangguan Fugui was famous for spending money recklessly. Although Shangguan Bai was the Clan Leader of the Nine Heavens, the Nine Heavens was not entirely the property of the Shangguan Clan. If he spent two hundred thousand taels of gold to buy something whose origin he did not even know, he would be laughed at again.
Cynanchum Chinense was furious and wanted to offer a higher price to take back the initiative.
Shen Zhenyi shook his head. "It's not worth it."
The Demonic Flame Bodhi did not have much of an effect. It was just special. Spending 200,000 gold taels to buy it would only make people feel a little foolish.
— — This was Shen Zhenyi, who knew how to use it. What was the use of that person buying it?
Cynanchum Chinense was not happy. She pouted and said, "Are we just going to let that damn fatty take advantage of us?"
Shen Zhenyi saw that she was not happy and said with a smile, "How about this? You can slowly increase the price, just one tael each time."
"That's a good idea!" Cynanchum Chinense felt that this was the best way to disgust people. She held back for a while and increased the price just before the Nine Heavens disciple was about to announce that the item was sold to Shangguan Fugui.
"Two hundred thousand and one taels!"
Pfft!
Everyone in the hall laughed out loud again.
It was not that they had never seen an auction where one tael increased the price by one tael. However, like just now, when two parties were casually increasing the price by a hundred thousand taels, they suddenly increased the price by one tael. This kind of sudden change made people laugh.
"Look, he's deliberately disgust you!" Shen Zhenyi pressed down on Shangguan Fugui. Shangguan Fugui jumped up from his chair and dragged his fat body to fight with Shen Zhenyi.
After listening to Shen Yizhou's advice, Shangguan Fugui suppressed his anger and shouted, "Two hundred and ten thousand taels!"
His opponent only increased the price by one tael. If he increased it by another hundred thousand, it would seem a little reckless.
After he made his bid, there was another period of silence. Just when he thought that the Demon Fire Bodhi was about to be sold, Cynanchum Chinense's slow voice sounded again, "Two hundred and ten thousand and one taels!"
I won't believe in Shangguan if I don't kill you today!
Shangguan Fugui immediately exploded. Shen Yizhou was also embarrassed. He had hoped that Shangguan Fugui would clash with Shen Zhenyi, but he did not expect Shen Zhenyi to be so mischievous. He even let a little girl stand in front of him while he dozed off in his chair.
"Two hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
After all, this was Ninth Heaven's auction house. Shangguan Fugui could not ruin his own house, so he could only swallow his anger and increase the price again.
Cynanchum Chinense waited for a long time before saying, "Two hundred and twenty thousand and one taels."
Shangguan Fugui was furious. He stood up from his chair and shouted, "Shen Zhenyi, if you want to auction, then auction properly. If you don't dare to bid, then get lost!"
How could there be such a disgusting person who only increased the price by one tael?
At this time, Shen Zhenyi had finished resting and was full of energy. He smiled faintly and said, "It's all a bid. Even if I increase the price by one tael, it's still higher than yours. Do you think you can limit my bid?"
The disciples of Ninth Heaven hurriedly surrounded Shangguan Fugui and tried to persuade him not to cause trouble.
Shangguan Fugui could only grit his teeth and endure. In the end, he shouted, "Two hundred and thirty thousand taels," and glared at Shen Zhenyi.
Cynanchum Chinense wanted to bid again, but Shen Zhenyi stopped him. "You don't have to bid anymore. This Demonic Fire Bodhi has become a piece of trash. I've already absorbed all the essence and true fire on it."
Ah?
So that's why you told me to increase the price by one tael.
Cynanchum Chinense narrowed his eyes and looked at the Demonic Fire Bodhi on the stage. Its branches and leaves used to flash with light, but now they were lifeless and dim.
Its original essence, qi, and spirit had all entered Shen Zhenyi's stomach.
Then it's not worth buying. Cynanchum Chinense smiled and lowered his head, no longer paying attention to the auction items on the stage. In the end, Shangguan Fugui still got the Demonic Fire Bodhi. However, as soon as he got it, he felt that something was wrong and stopped the disciples of Ninth Heaven.
"Junior Brother Luo, what's going on? This is not the Demonic Fire Bodhi at all! Are you trying to scam me? "
Shangguan Fugui definitely didn't know how to make the Demonic Fire Bodhi and how to get it. However, he clearly saw what this thing was like. When it was brought up on the stage, it was clearly shining with a dazzling light. Now it was bitter and dim, like a piece of rotten wood. How could he sell it for 230,000 taels of gold?
Ninth Heaven's disciples complained incessantly, "Senior Brother Shangguan, no matter who we scam, we wouldn't dare to scam you. How could we switch it in front of so many people? "
Shangguan Fugui was the only son of the sect leader. They couldn't wait to curry favor with him, so how could they possibly sell a shoddy item?
However, this Demonic Fire Bodhi seemed to be completely lifeless. They couldn't figure out what had happened, so they could only temporarily stop the auction and ask the steward to examine it.
The steward looked at the Demonic Fire Bodhi for a while and could only regretfully announce that it wasn't a fake. It was the Demonic Fire Bodhi that Ninth Heaven had obtained by chance. Unfortunately, the Demonic Fire Bodhi still had life before, but now it was completely dead. Its original spirituality had also disappeared without a trace.
In other words, the Demonic Fire Bodhi was now just a piece of rotten wood.
"I spent 230,000 taels of gold on a piece of rotten wood?"
Shangguan Fugui roared incessantly.
Shen Yizhou hurriedly covered his mouth. If this matter were to be known by others, they would laugh their heads off. Wouldn't it be ridiculous for him to stand next to this idiot?
He turned his head and saw that Shen Zhenyi and Cynanchum Chinense both had mysterious smiles on their faces. He felt even more depressed and annoyed.
