Talisman Seal Firmament

Chapter 329: Shoot yourself in the foot

Views:

This was not the first time the young man had done such a thing. He would often use the same method at auctions to maliciously bid up the price for people he disliked.

So he was very clear about Ye Li's condition just now. He would definitely fight him for one or two more rounds. It was impossible for him to give up just because of his sudden change of expression.

"Could it be that the expression he just showed was all fake?"

The young man couldn't help but guess this in his heart, and when he looked at Ye Li again, his eyes were full of malice and resentment.

Ye Li didn't answer the young man at all, but just stared at him with a teasing look.

The young man looked at Ye Li with such eyes that he felt like his chest was about to explode.

"You... you bastard, how dare you play tricks on me!"

He no longer cared about the occasion and was about to lose his temper on the spot because Ye Li actually fooled him in front of hundreds of representatives from various forces here.

The young man felt extremely humiliated as he was treated like a monkey and fooled in front of everyone by this country bumpkin, the person he despised the most.

Of course, he never thought that he was the one who insulted and teased the other party first. He only cared that the other party did not cooperate with him in the performance according to his ideas.

Just as he stood up and was about to ask the guards around him to take action, Zhu Wenyuan's voice came.

"Mr. Hua, please control your emotions. No one is allowed to disrupt the order of the venue."

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards stood beside Ye Li, looking up towards the private room.

If the young man and his guards wanted to take action, these two people would protect Ye Li.

The young man who was stopped by Zhu Wenyuan regained some of his sanity and resisted the urge to take action here.

Although he is arrogant, he is not stupid. If he takes action here, the one who will suffer in the end will definitely not be Ye Li, but himself.

"You bastard country bumpkin, I'll remember you. I'll settle with you after the auction for fooling me!"

The young man looked at Ye Li and said something while suppressing his anger.

Ye Li was not afraid of the other party. He just snorted coldly and said, "If you harm others, you will eventually harm yourself. Since you are trying to raise the price maliciously, you must be prepared to shoot yourself in the foot."

After saying this, Ye Li no longer paid any attention to the other party.

Although he was filled with dissatisfaction at the other party for stealing his Golden Flower and Silver Leaf Pills, he felt somewhat relieved after thinking that he had also cheated the other party out of several thousand high-grade spirit stones.

Many guests around also realized that the young man in the private room was maliciously raising the price, and they looked at him with more contempt.

People who maliciously raise prices at auctions are always unwelcome.

The young man naturally knew this, but he didn't seem to care about the looks of the crowd at all. The only thing he wanted to do at this moment was to teach Ye Li a lesson.

Knowing that he couldn't do anything, he could only curse twice and then sat back down, his face gloomy and his eyes full of viciousness.

Guests in the private rooms do not need to go downstairs to pay for the spirit stones. Someone will deliver their goods to the private rooms and then collect the spirit stones.

Zhu Wenyuan also glanced at the second floor with a little dissatisfaction. The young man's behavior was a complete disruption to the entire auction.

But now that the incident has passed, his expression immediately changed, and he spoke again, drawing everyone's attention to the booth.

The prices of the pills that activated the thunder attribute and the yang attribute that were auctioned later both exceeded ten thousand yuan, and the yang attribute pill was sold to an exaggerated level of thirty thousand high-quality spirit stones.

Ye Li only now understood that the price of the elixir that Zhao Wanyin had first told him was not the transaction price at all, but only the auction reserve price.

And most of them were only Xuan-grade elixirs. The price of today's Earth-grade elixirs had long exceeded his estimates.

After all the pills were sold, the auction entered the auction stage of talismans.

This part is the real highlight of the auction. Many people who have not participated in the bidding have now started to take action.

The first thing that appeared was naturally a Earth-grade talisman, but there was no low-grade stuff either, it was a mid-grade Earth-grade one from the start.

Like an appetizer, the bidding atmosphere quickly heated up.

Then, starting with the top-grade earth-level talismans, more and more people joined in the scramble. After all, a good talisman has a huge impact on combat effectiveness.

When the heavenly-grade talismans began to appear, the atmosphere in the entire auction hall entered a white-hot stage, and the people in the private rooms upstairs also actively participated.

Heavenly grade talismans are considered scarce in the martial arts world. Many core high-ranking officials in major forces may have one each, but those in lower positions cannot use them.

First, heaven-grade talismans are ridiculously precious. Second, there are not many heaven-grade talismans. Moreover, most of the ones that can be bought on the market are of relatively poor quality. Generally, no one is willing to buy them. The slightly better ones are all scarce goods.

Every talisman collected in this auction can be considered a top-notch piece of its class, so there are too many people rushing to buy them.

Ye Li listened to the shouts of the people next to him who were paying no less than 100,000 high-grade spirit stones, and he swallowed his saliva in frustration.

When the price was below 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, most people still used high-grade spirit stones to pay. But when the price exceeded 10,000 spirit stones, no one used high-grade spirit stones to pay anymore. The amount was too huge, and it was impossible to move a whole room of spirit stones to pay for it.

They all used divine stones for payment, which was a universal currency that was much more advanced than spirit stones.

This was the first time Ye Li saw the divine stone, a crystal stone that contained strong spiritual energy.

The interior of this crystal looks as if it is nurturing a nebula, which is very beautiful.

A thumb-sized magic stone is equivalent to one thousand high-grade spirit stones, and a talisman worth one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones is only one hundred magic stones, and can all be put in a small box.

It was also at this auction that Ye Li truly realized how huge the gap in wealth was between the various major forces and the Ye family.

The amount of spirit stones these people spent on buying a talisman far exceeded the Ye family’s total annual income.

This is also why it is impossible for a small family like the Ye family to have any heavenly-level talismans, because the price is simply not something a small family can afford.

Ye Li had no right to participate in the auction of the talisman. Sitting in his seat, he could only watch as talismans, each more expensive than the last, were bid away by people more crazy than the last.

The atmosphere in the auction venue eased slightly only after the last heaven-grade talisman was sold for 270,000 high-quality spirit stones, or 270 divine stones.

The smile on Zhu Wenyuan's face had become even brighter at this time. After all, the auction of these goods was all sold at relatively high prices, which could be considered a success for the organizer of the auction.
