The Beautiful CEO's Dragon Blood Bodyguard-Chapter 1976 - 1975: A Little Too Rich for His Own Good
"This lady raised the bid by a million."
When Feng Chi called out, the crowd also chimed in, looking for excitement, shouting, "Continue, continue, continue!"
The Fourth Prince’s lips curled, four hundred million was already his limit.
Even though he was a prince, money didn’t just fall from the sky.
As the sound of Feng Chi’s copper hammer echoed, he chose to give up.
In the end, the armor went to the Seventh Princess.
She happily approached and even took the initiative to kiss Long Fei, her face blooming with joy.
Growing up, it was the first time a boy spent money to give her a gift.
That feeling was utterly invigorating.
By displaying their affection in public, they aroused envy, jealousy, and hate from the crowd.
Many female cultivators’ eyes shone, thinking it would be nice if their man was Long Fei.
This future Consort Prince was now the standard of a single rich bachelor.
Long Fei glanced at Wang Xiaoya intentionally. Her expression was calm, a slight smile on her face without any hint of jealousy.
Long Fei recalled her from the mundane world, that girl who loved getting jealous, now she had truly transformed.
The second treasure, covered with a red cloth, was soon brought up, and Feng Chi signaled the ceremony lady to unveil it. What appeared was something black, resembling a watermelon-shaped black eggshell.
This item had already cracked open, revealing a blue light, like a mysterious azure jade.
Feng Chi tapped the hammer and introduced, "This treasure also comes from the Immortal King Palace, brought out by the same owner of the previous treasure from the palace.
For tens of thousands of years, the divine material within this treasure hasn’t dissipated.
According to our Divine Dragon Auction House’s research, it might be an egg of a divine beast, or perhaps a Spirit Marrow Stone with a divine beast’s bloodline hidden within.
Because it’s so precious, it hasn’t been enlightened yet. If you’re interested in raising divine beasts, or in divine beast bloodlines, you might bid and study it closely."
The crowd made a "boo" sound, suddenly quite disappointed.
After waiting for so long, it turned out to be just an egg.
The first item was the Immortal King Armor, everyone thought the second item would be even more impressive!
However, there were still many body-cultivating cultivators itching to try. After Feng Chi’s introduction, she invited interested people to come up and take a look.
Long Fei also went up to take a look. The black material on the eggshell’s surface wasn’t simple. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Someone touched it with their hand, and immediately their palm was stained black, the color spreading to their arm.
This person shouted, "What is this? So sinister and poisonous?"
"Netherworld Mud!"
Long Fei frowned, touched it with his finger, and quickly used true fire to burn the cold poison clean.
The cultivator’s eyes widened, upon hearing this, he straightforwardly drew out his longsword and severed his right arm.
He screamed in pain, "Is your Divine Dragon Auction House crazy? Putting something so sinister up for auction?"
Someone shouted, "Nothing survives under Netherworld Water, it’s water from the netherworld that clashes with our yang realm materials. Even if there’s something inside, it would have died by now."
Someone nodded and said, "Right, things polluted by Netherworld Water. Even if it’s a divine beast, if it were still alive, it would become a fierce beast."
"..."
Feng Chi remained calm, having seen such situations many times before.
She glanced at the copper hammer and signaled everyone to quiet down, "According to the examinations by our professionals at the Divine Dragon Auction House, there’s a life force within this eggshell. Since it’s a divine beast, it can naturally resist the corrosion of Netherworld Water. As you’ve seen, the item has been stained by Netherworld Water, not rotting for hundreds of thousands of years; it must be an extraordinary, rare treasure of great bloodline."
"Nonsense, you just want to sell it for a high price."
"Deceptive rubbish, only fools would buy it!"
"Whoever wants to buy it can, anyway, I’m not buying it!"
"..."
Nobody believed her, and they argued one after another.
Feng Chi smiled slightly, looked at the copper hammer, and announced the starting bid, "This item comes from the Immortal King Palace, with a starting bid the same as the Immortal King Armor, one hundred million! Auction starts now, minimum increment of one million per bid."
As she spoke, the shouting in the crowd became even more fervent.
At this point, a white-bearded old Daoist suddenly stood up, his powerful aura shaking the whole venue.
As he appeared, all the cultivators in the audience immediately fell silent.
You could see the disciples of the Ji Family stand up respectfully to greet him.
The old Daoist went over, using his finger to gather a stream-like material, rotating it on the eggshell. Then he shook his head and said, "What a pity, it is indeed a divine beast egg. However, it has been polluted by Netherworld Water, and the bloodline within is no longer pure."
Someone silently exclaimed, "Isn’t this the Ji Family’s ancestor?"
"Seems like it!"
"My God, this is an expert at the Unity Realm Stage?"
"..."
The old man turned to Long Fei, cupped his fist with a smile, and said, "Friend from the Jiang Family, after the auction, old me hopes to have a word with you. I hope you won’t refuse then."
"Sure!"
Long Fei returned the courtesy with a smile, though inwardly cursing, not expecting the first to seek him out was someone from the Ji Family.
Feng Chi struck the copper hammer, signaling for the crowd to quiet down.
After the bidding started, no one placed a bid.
This item was already considered unlucky by everyone.
Now, after the appraisal of the Ji Family ancestor, even less were willing to bid.
In the end, Feng Chi knocked the hammer twice and was about to announce the auction as void.
Long Fei raised his paddle, being the first to place a bid, raising it by a million.
The venue went into an uproar, turning to look at Long Fei, inwardly thinking this guy really wasn’t short on money.
He spent a hundred million to buy a polluted egg, not knowing whether there was any life inside it!
Feng Chi smiled at him, as if everything was within her expectations.
She struck the hammer three times, and when no one else bid, had the item sent to Long Fei.
Last time in Celestial Mystery City, they also organized an auction.
Back then, Feng Chi had a deep impression of Long Fei.
At the time, Long Fei famously won an unwanted egg at a high price.
This guy definitely has a hobby in these matters, so Feng Chi wasn’t surprised.
After the service staff delivered the item, Long Fei stored it inside his storage ring, specifically placing it in the Flame Emperor Cauldron, using Immortal Demon Blood to soak it, attempting to cleanse the sinister poison from the eggshell.
The Netherworld Water has a special nature, fatal to any creature in this world.
He wasn’t sure if there was anything inside it, just buying it to test his luck, considering he wasn’t short of money now.
The Seventh Princess asked concernedly, "Why do you want this? Aren’t you afraid it will contaminate your magical treasures?"
Netherworld Water was infamous for polluting magical treasures.
Long Fei chuckled, "Too much money, don’t know how to spend it, so I spend it as I like!"
The Seventh Princess rolled her eyes at him, speechless.
She thought Long Fei needed a woman to manage him properly, or else he’d squander all his wealth.
After everything was over, she would quickly have her father prepare the wedding for them.
The other people, hearing this, shook their heads lightly with smiles, discussing among themselves.
They also thought Long Fei had gone to his head with wealth, willing to spend a hundred million Spirit Stones on an unknown egg?
Bear in mind, a hundred million could buy a high-quality Human Immortal Sword!
The third item was quickly brought up.
Everyone thought it would be some kind of magical weapon, but when the ceremony lady removed the red cloth, it turned out to be a crimson robe adorned with golden threads?
The crowd gasped in amazement, "It’s a Buddhist item!"
"Even monks are joining the fun?"
"This is a Buddhist robe?"
"..."
