Chapter 1621 Who Is a Fool
Under normal circumstances, Xia Ruofei's thoughts must be the same as Li Yifu's.
But now the situation is special!
This ore Xia Ruofei is bound to get, no matter how high Wu Ming's price is, Xia Ruofei will definitely follow up. Even if more than 30,000 spirit stones are all smashed into it, it would be worth it!
Of course, this is the last thing Xia Ruofei wants to see, because in this way, everyone will notice this obviously abnormal phenomenon, especially Chen Xuan, who will inevitably not guess that this desperate person wants to take pictures of the ore. Man, haven't you discovered the secret of the ore? And the value of this ore is extremely high?
It may take some effort for others to inquire about the identity of the practitioners in Box 20, but for Tianyimen and Chen Xuan, there will be no difficulty at all.
No matter what the situation is, making a fortune in silence is the most correct choice!
Xia Ruofei didn't have time to think about it, because the monks who participated in the auction today really had no interest in this ore. Wu Ming bid 1000 spirit stones and no one raised the price. Hao Qingsong on the main auction stage was asking for the third time. Someone has increased the price.
Xia Ruofei put aside those worries and pressed the bid increase button in the auction device without hesitation.
The price flashed on the big screen, and it was updated to 1010 Spirit Stones—this ore had a zero starting price, so the default price increase was the lowest 10 Spirit Stones.
Hao Qingsong originally planned to announce the end of the auction, so he was obviously taken aback when he saw the price update.
However, he quickly reacted and said loudly, "The Taoist friend in Box 20 has bid for 1010 Spirit Stones!"
In Box 15, Wu Ming was sitting leisurely on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine in his hand.
He bid for this spiritual stone, just as everyone thought, the purpose was to please Tianyimen and Chen Xuan.
Wu Ming felt that such an inconspicuous piece of ore had already been proven to be basically useless. If he bid 1,000 spirit stones, no one would compete with him again. There would be no suspense in this round of bidding.
1000 spirit stones to buy such a piece of ore is naturally a big loss.
But exchanging 1,000 spirit stones for the favor of Tianyimen was worth it and could no longer be worth it.
Even Luo Feng, the Jindan elder who led the team to participate in the auction this time, felt that Wu Ming's decision was very correct, and looked at him with a bit of admiration.
certainly,
Even if Luo Feng had an objection, Wu Ming would probably still go his own way.
Although Luo Feng was the elder of Lingjiu Mountain, his cultivation base was a lot higher than Wu Ming, but everyone in Lingjiu Mountain knew that their husband and wife were quite fond of Wu Ming's only son, Wu Ming. Since childhood, he has developed a domineering and domineering temperament. However, Wu Tiancheng, the head of Lingjiu Mountain, and his wife, Ren Suling, are very protective of the calf, so that Wu Ming is an existence that no one can touch in Lingjiu Mountain. His temperament, he doesn't care whether Luo Feng is an elder or not, he definitely dares to turn his face directly.
Of course, the two still agreed on the matter of taking pictures of this ore.
Therefore, when they saw the sudden change of several displayed on the big screen, they couldn't help being stunned.
Wu Ming and Luo Feng did not expect that someone would actually come out to bid.
Is it another cultivator who wants to show his favor to Tianyimen?
The big screen shows the No. 20 box, but except for a few top sects whose box numbers are relatively high, other sects and the loose repairers invited to participate in the auction have actually disrupted the placement, so this box No. doesn't explain anything.
Wu Ming's face suddenly sank.
This is simply a naked slap in the face! Tolerable or unbearable?
After being stunned for a while, Wu Ming immediately entered a new price in the bidder, and then submitted it with a cold snort.
1500 Spirit Stones!
When Luo Feng saw this offer, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows. He naturally felt that Wu Ming was a little impatient, and suddenly raised the price too high.
Even if you want to show favor to Tianyimen, the big deal is to resolutely increase the price, why add 500 spirit stones in one go?
Although 500 spirit stones are not a lot of money for Ling Vulture Mountain, there are still auctions that need to compete behind them! Now that they are spending a lot of money, what should I do if there are not enough spirit stones in the back?
Luo Feng even suspected that someone had heard some news in advance and knew that Ling Vulture Mountain would form a competitive relationship with them in subsequent auctions, so he deliberately raised the price to weaken Ling Vulture Mountain's financial resources.
However, Luo Feng still held back and didn't say anything. After all, the price had already been submitted, and he knew that Wu Ming would definitely not listen.
Luo Feng can only hope that the other party will not increase the price again, otherwise the irritable Wu Ming will really treat the spirit stone as a simple number...
In Box 20, when Xia Ruofei saw Wu Ming's offer, he couldn't help but poked his teeth, feeling a big head.
On the other hand, Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng both looked at Xia Ruofei with admiration, and Li Yifu said excitedly, "It's still my uncle wise! This fool actually added 500 more spirit stones!"
Luo Qingfeng nodded after hearing this.
But Xia Ruofei was very uncomfortable after listening to it. No matter how he heard it, he felt that the word "idiot" was very harsh, and it felt like he was scolding him!
However, Xia Ruofei couldn't explain it. He even felt that since Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng both misunderstood that they were deliberately raising prices to make Wu Ming consume more, then continue to misunderstand...
He didn't say anything, but focused on the big screen above the auction table.
Originally, other cultivators had no interest in this ore, and they had already started the theater mode. Now Wu Ming's unreasonable bid will naturally not be responded to by anyone.
So, Hao Qingsong began to dutifully ask if there were any monks who wanted to increase the price.
Xia Ruofei didn't wait for Hao Qingsong to ask the third time this time, and directly pressed the increase button again.
On the screen, the price was updated again, and now it was 1510 spirit stones, and the bidder was naturally the No. 20 box where Xia Ruofei was.
Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng couldn't help but look at Xia Ruofei with some worry.
Li Yifu hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Shi, why don't you just accept it when you see it! In case the other party gives up..."
Xia Ruofei showed an unfathomable smile, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know it!"
Since Xia Ruofei has said so, then Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng are naturally not good to say anything. They just stared at the big screen with a little anxiety, and hoped that the "fool" in Box 15 would make a bid quickly.
And Xia Ruofei's mood is naturally the exact opposite of Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng.
Of course, Xia Ruofei also knew that it might not be so easy for Wu Ming to give up so easily.
This kind of "rich second generation" in the cultivation world is probably more concerned about face, rationality and so on, it doesn't exist!
In fact it is.
In Box 15, Wu Ming was already furious.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Feng! The guy in Box 20 is hitting me in the face on purpose! Add 10 spirit stones every time!"
Luo Feng sighed secretly and said, "Young Sect Master, it's just a battle of spirits. In fact, we have already expressed our sincerity to Tian Yi Sect..."
Before Luo Feng's words were finished, Wu Ming glared his eyes and said, "I definitely won't give up like this! It's just a few thousand spirit stones! I can't afford to play with Wu Ming!"
After speaking, Wu Ming snorted coldly, directly entered the number of 2000 spirit stones in the bidder, and then clicked the submit button without hesitation.
Luo Feng watched from the side, the corners of his eyes jumped, he really felt a little distressed about the spirit stone!
But Luo Feng really couldn't persuade his own young master.
He was already highly suspicious now that the other party was deliberately picking on fire and dug a hole for Wu Ming to jump in.
And it seems that the other party has already settled on Wu Ming, and he will not give up easily...
Sure enough, the price of 2000 Spirit Stones only stayed on the big screen for a few seconds. Before Hao Qingsong reported the latest price, the practitioners in Box 20 bid again, and the price on the big screen was directly updated to 2010. Lingshi.
Wu Ming's face became extremely ugly, he stood up abruptly, directly removed the soundproof barrier that had been arranged at the beginning, and then said in a negative way: "Friend in box 20, you are deliberately trying to talk to us. Is Washuyama doing the right thing?"
Xia Ruofei didn't hide his head and show his tail this time. After a faint smile, he said directly: "Where does the head of Wu Shao come from? This ore provided by Tianyimen Elder Chen is so mysterious, can't I be interested in it? Auction? If you really want this piece of ore so much, you don’t need to threaten it, as long as your price is higher than mine, then I can’t take this piece of ore, right?”
"Very good!" Wu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that my face is really worthless! Then let's see the truth in the price!"
Wu Ming completely hated the person in Box 20. In the future, he would definitely inquire about the identity of the practitioner in Box 20, and then take revenge. But right now, he still doesn't have time to do this. The most urgent task is to win this auction and earn face first.
So, for the sake of it, Wu Ming simply made an offer directly.
It is still the style of his young master, which directly raised the price to 2,500 spirit stones.
On the 20th box, Xia Ruofei did not hesitate to increase the price, and his price increase was quite stable, it was only 10 spirit stones, and there was no more than one.
In Wu Ming's opinion, this is even more mockery of him.
3000 Spirit Stones! Wu Ming angrily continued to increase the price.
On the 20th box, Xia Ruofei continued to follow up without hesitation, updating the price to 3010 spirit stones.
Li Yifu and Luo Qingfeng beside him were terrified, for fear of hitting them in their hands.
Wu Ming recklessly increased the price, each time it was five hundred spirit stones.
And Xia Ruofei followed up lightly, not more than 10 spirit stones each time.
After several rounds, the final price has reached 6,010 spirit stones, which is a fraction of 10 spirit stones, so the bidder is naturally the No. 20 box.
Seeing that the price had reached an unbelievable level, Luo Feng finally recovered.
He grabbed Wu Ming, who was hot-headed.
Wu Ming turned his head sharply, stared at Luo Feng, and shouted fiercely: "Uncle Feng! What are you doing? Do you want me to be soft on that kid? I tell you! No way!"
Luo Feng said bitterly, "Young master, calm down first! There's something strange about this!"
"The other party threw my face and stepped on the ground, how can I calm down?" Wu Ming roared.
Luo Feng said helplessly: "You listen to me first! Young master, even if you want to make an offer, don't be in a hurry!"
After all, Luo Feng was a cultivator of Jindan stage, and he was Wu Ming's elder.
He waved his hand and said, "Uncle Feng, tell me! Long story short! Don't miss the bidding time!"
Seeing that Wu Ming was still thinking about bidding, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. He said, "Young Sect Master, I suspect that someone is playing a game and deliberately consuming our spirit stones!"
"Doing a game?" Wu Ming's brows could not help wrinkling.
Luo Feng hurriedly said: "Yeah! You went out a long time ago and wanted that pair of storage rings. Now that storage rings are so rare, and this time it's a pair of rings, I guess there must be a lot of people competing. More! Young master, think about it, if someone takes this opportunity to provoke you, make you bid desperately, consume a lot of your spiritual stones, and when the auction for the storage ring starts, aren’t you helpless?”
When Luo Feng mentioned the pair of storage rings, Wu Ming finally became sober - he really valued these rings very much. He had just met a pair of twin female cultivators some time ago, and now he is at the stage of showing great hospitality! Wu Ming had the idea of two female nuns entering the room together. When he thought of the beautiful and charming sisters serving him together, Wu Ming couldn't help shaking his heart. And this pair of storage rings, the gift he was going to give to the twin sisters, was absolutely not to be missed.
"Uncle Feng, I don't think it's possible! There are only a few thousand spirit stones, and buying a storage ring is far from enough." Wu Ming said suspiciously.
Luo Feng hated that iron is not steel, but it was not easy to show it, so he could only say patiently: "A few thousand spirit stones may not be many, but if the competition for storage rings reaches the white-hot stage, these thousands of spirit stones will not be enough. Maybe it will play a decisive role. Wouldn’t it be a pity to miss out on the storage ring because of the consumption of these thousands of spirit stones?”
Wu Ming said with a fierce look: "If this is the case, I have to rob me of the storage ring! Anyway, it's not the first time that we have done murder to steal goods!"
Luo Feng said: "If we can get the auction normally, why bother? Young master, it happens that the other party has the highest bid right now. If we withdraw at this time, we will not only save thousands of spirit stones, but also allow the other party to make more money. Consuming thousands of spirit stones, there are more than 10,000 spirit stones inside and outside! It is enough to determine the final ownership of the storage ring! And the price has reached this level, it is enough to show our sincerity to Tianyimen, is it? It is not so important to actually photograph this ore."
Wu Ming was obviously moved, but he was still a little unwilling, mainly because his face was cut off, and he felt very resentful.
Luo Feng can be said to have watched Wu Ming grow up. He knows Wu Ming's character very well. He knows that his persuasion has worked, so he hurriedly strikes while the iron is hot, attaches to Wu Ming's ear and whispers: "Young master , In fact, if we stop now, not only will we not lose face, but we can also make the other party a joke! In addition, we can get the other party into trouble with just a few casual words..."
Wu Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and said, "Oh? Uncle Feng, tell me quickly, what can you do to make the kid in box 20 become everyone's laughing stock?"
