But when the sixth item was brought to the stage, Ye Feng suddenly became interested.
It was a book, a completely blank book with no content.
But the moment the book appeared on stage, Ye Feng realized it was a magical artifact.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is a wordless book that our company's boss obtained by chance. Don't underestimate this wordless book."
"Although this blank book contains no content and seems to have no value, the book itself is a spiritual artifact, and a high-grade one at that—it's an eighth-grade spiritual artifact!"
"Neither fire nor water can damage this book in the slightest!"
On stage, auctioneer Li Yanling demonstrated her skills to all the guests by speaking and taking concrete actions.
No matter whether she threw the book into the fire pit or the water vat, she couldn't damage it in the slightest.
When she took the book out of the brazier and water vat, all the guests present could clearly see that this blank book, devoid of any content, was still as bright and new as ever.
There wasn't even the slightest trace of damage left on it!
"As everyone has seen, this wordless book is impervious to water and fire; that is the book's magic."
"Although our company's appraisal experts cannot decipher the contents of this book, we believe that this wordless book must have a way to be unlocked. As long as the conditions are right and the method is correct, this wordless book will reveal its contents to the destined person."
"And are you all here today among those destined to meet us?"
Li Yanling smiled slightly and finally announced the starting price and bidding rules for this wordless book.
"The starting bid for this wordless book is three million, with each bid increment no less than fifty thousand. The auction is now officially open!"
However, this time, no one immediately placed a bid after Li Yanling finished speaking.
It seems that those who came here to attend the auction were sensible.
Although they are all wealthy, they don't treat money like it's nothing and just throw it away.
"What kind of wordless book is this? We don't even know what it's for, yet they're making us spend millions to bid on it! That's outrageous!"
"That's right, our money doesn't grow on trees."
"I don't want to gamble with millions of dollars."
"You could buy a luxury supercar for a few million."
"Not bad, not bad."
Various murmurs arose from below the stage, causing Li Yanling's expression to turn somewhat unpleasant.
But Li Yanling had no choice. After all, what the guests said made sense. Even from her own perspective, she felt that spending millions to bid for a wordless book whose contents and purpose were unknown was a wise choice.
However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out throughout the entire venue.
"I bid three million!"
The person who made the bid was none other than Ye Feng!
The female auctioneer immediately looked at Ye Feng, a look of surprise on her face.
It's good that someone is bidding!
In this way, even if this wordless book is terrible, it won't fail to sell at auction!
Even if it ends up being sold at a single bid, it's still much better than it going unsold!
The female auctioneer then looked at Ye Feng and excitedly shouted, "Guest number 33 has bid three million. Is there anyone else who can bid higher?"
"Three million for the first time!"
"Three million for the second time!"
"Three million, third place—"
Just as the deal was about to be finalized, another man's voice suddenly rang out.
"I bid three and a half million!"
So everyone looked at that guy again, and saw that he was a strong, burly man with a hideous scar on his face.
Upon seeing this guy, many guests at the scene gasped in shock.
"It's Scarface! It's actually him!"
"I never expected Scarface to be interested in this wordless book!"
"This is really going to be a good show!"
Listening to the guests' discussions, Ye Feng remained completely unmoved.
He glanced indifferently at the scarred man, then raised his paddle again to bid: "I bid four million."
"Four and a half million."
The scarred man immediately followed up with a price.
Then Ye Feng said, "I'll offer ten million."
Wow!
The guests in the entire auction hall gasped in surprise, all casting incredulous glances at Ye Feng!
Just a moment ago it was over four million, and now Yefeng has raised the price to ten million in one go.
Arrogant!
overbearing!
Powerful!
All the guests present had a similar feeling, and they all looked at Ye Feng with incredulous eyes.
"Who is this guy? He's so arrogant!"
"Could he be a rich young master from a powerful family? Does our Zhongzhou City have such a person?"
"Yeah, that's too arrogant!"
"Perhaps they have the right to be arrogant."
"Nonsense! Someone who can casually pull out ten million is worth at least a billion. Of course they have the right to be arrogant!"
The guests in the hall started talking animatedly, and the discussion just wouldn't stop.
Xi Yao asked in confusion, "Ye Feng, you've noticed the special features of this wordless book. Do you know what it's used for?"
"I don't know," Night Wind shook his head.
"Then why did you spend so much money bidding?" Jiang Lingxuan asked, completely bewildered.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "Is ten million a lot? I have millions of high-grade spirit stones in my storage ring, and even more mid-grade and low-grade spirit stones. Ten million Chinese yuan is just a drop in the ocean for me."
"As for the contents and effects of this wordless book, we'll find out after we win the bid and study it. Even if it has no value, it doesn't matter. After all, gambling with ten million isn't a big deal."
Sun Muqing nodded and said, "That's true."
Just then, the scarred man sneered at Ye Feng and said viciously, "Kid, looks like you're rich, but you'd better not be too arrogant. In this world, money isn't everything, and sometimes it can even get you into trouble."
"Can I take your words as a threat?" Night Wind looked calmly at the scarred man.
"That's right, I'm threatening you! You'd better give up the bid and get out of here right now, or you won't see the sun rise tomorrow!" the scarred man said without any politeness.
"I have no interest in wasting my breath on you." Ye Tian said, then turned his gaze away and ignored the man.
Xi Yao said with a smile, "That scarred man is quite famous in our Zhongzhou City. He is indeed very fierce."
"Has he done anything significant?" Night Wind asked.
“Nothing serious happened, but this person is extremely ruthless. Two years ago, he was bidding against someone at a similar auction and made threats in public. That very night, he killed the entire family, not even sparing the children,” Xi Yao said.
"The guardians of Zhongzhou City aren't doing anything?" Ye Feng frowned slightly.
