Upon hearing Zhao Ziyi's offer, all the cultivators present gasped in shock.
Zhao Ziyi is too aggressive, he doubled the price!
Many cultivators weighed their own wallets.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly.
They can't even afford half of the deposit.
Mu Feng's face turned ashen as he hesitated whether to match the price.
He's a sword cultivator; he has no use for black gold ore.
If he bids higher, he might fall into a trap and end up with the ore.
He's bought the black gold mine now, but if he encounters a good treasure later, he really won't be able to afford it.
Mu Feng hesitated for a moment, then quietly took out a fluffy purple beast from his pet pouch and quickly stuffed it back in.
In that instant, he had already seen through the black gold ore through the purple-gold rat.
It's just an ordinary, rare mineral.
It's not worth his money to buy.
"Excuse me, cultivator Mu Feng, would you like to raise the price?"
Mu Feng shook his head and said disdainfully:
"If we don't raise it, what fool would directly increase the price of ore to 50,000 gold?"
The auction manager's smile became somewhat forced upon hearing this.
Black gold ore is a rare mineral, and if it were auctioned normally, the price could potentially exceed 60,000.
But Zhao Ziyi's bid immediately made all the cultivators back down.
They're all afraid of being stuck with a bad deal if they follow the price.
"Fifty thousand gold once,
Five thousand gold twice,
Fifty thousand gold three times!
Congratulations to Cultivator Zhao Ziyi for winning lot number 41.
A waiter in white robes approached Zhao Ziyi with a tray.
Zhao Ziyi readily handed over a storage bag.
Song Chen praised with a smile:
“We made a profit. If we had bought it normally, this ore would probably have cost 60,000 gold.”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi looked at Song Chen with pride:
"I'm still pretty good at saving money, right?"
Song Chen smiled and patted his head. "Of course!"
Once you obtain the black gold ore, you can cultivate more stone bees.
The cultivation resources for the two at the Golden Core stage were now secured.
Mu Feng said angrily:
"Tch! You've only photographed two items. I don't believe you have the money to keep bidding!"
Li Wantian continued:
"A small family like ours, only thinking about saving money, is laughable."
If you don't have money, don't follow my example. You don't deserve to live a life of extravagance.
The cultivators present couldn't help but whisper among themselves upon hearing Li Wantian's words.
"—Li Wantian hasn't spent any money since he entered the venue, has he?"
"Now that you mention it, it's true!"
"Oh my, Li Wantian is such a show-off! How can those who refine weapons be as rich as us who refine pills?"
"Buying rare ore for 50,000 gold coins, is Song Chen a weapon refiner?"
"I guess so. Apart from weapon refiners, nobody cares about ore prices."
"I'm not happy watching this spectacle, Mu Feng isn't even bidding!"
The surrounding discussions reached Song Chen's ears.
He thought for a moment and then picked up the price list.
The previous auction had already sold all the weapons and equipment.
The products that will be listed next are mostly raw materials.
There were ores, gems, wood, seeds, and some monster corpses.
Song Chen calculated the price.
These 59 items vary in price, but the total value is only a little over 600,000 gold.
He was quick-witted and came up with a brilliant idea.
The auctioneer was about to announce that the auction would continue: "Next up is the 42nd item..."
"etc!"
Song Chen stood up abruptly from his chair, interrupting her.
Seeing Song Chen stand up, the auction manager asked with a smile:
"Cultivator Song Chen, what brings you here?"
Song Chen crossed his arms and shouted:
“Just now, I heard some cultivators say that they weren’t satisfied with watching this show, so let’s play something bigger.”
The surrounding cultivators looked at each other, wondering what Song Chen was going to do.
Song Chen held the price list between his fingers and smiled:
“I bought each of the following items at double the price.”
If anyone else wants it, feel free to raise the price.
If you are sincere, perhaps I will give it to you.
These words caused an uproar in the room. Could an auction really be done like this?
The monks whispered among themselves, their buzzing discussions igniting the atmosphere in the hall.
Upon hearing this, the auctioneer loudly proclaimed:
"Of course! But please, Cultivator Song Chen, pay the deposit first."
A servant in white robes walked up to Song Chen in front of all the cultivators.
Some of the monks in the room turned around to look, while others stood up to observe.
Everyone looked at Song Chen.
The waiter in white raised the tray:
"Cultivator Song Chen, the total price of the auctioned item is 680,000 gold. You bid double the price, so the price is now 680,000 gold."
Song Chen joked:
"I've already bought two items at the auction, haven't you realized yet? I'm very poor."
"I've entrusted all my money to my partner for safekeeping, so why are you asking me for money again?"
The white-robed waiter was taken aback, then looked at Zhao Ziyi beside him.
680,000 gold coins, all given to your Daoist partner?
Zhao Ziyi excitedly took out a storage bag and placed it on the tray.
"Here you go, 680,000 gold coins. Let's start the auction! I can't wait!"
After checking the storage bag, the waiter nodded to the manager.
“Cultivator Song Chen, pay the deposit of 680,000 gold.”
"Wow!"
Once again, a chorus of exclamations rang out in the hall.
"680,000 gold! I can save that up in another 980 years!"
"How come there's so much? Where did Song Chen get so much money?"
"A man of few words! He's so low-key even with 680,000 gold."
"Damn! I should have staked out Floating Cloud City and ambushed the cruise ships at Immortal River Garden!"
"They're all led by Nascent Soul cultivators, do you think you can beat them?"
"If I can't beat him, I'll kneel down and beg him to give me some charity."
"You really are..."
The praise the cultivators gave Song Chen sounded extremely grating to Mu Feng.
Mu Feng gripped the armrest of the chair tightly with his left hand, gritting his teeth. How could Song Chen be so rich?
He sold everything that the Old Ancestor Wufeng had given him, and that's how he saved up 70,000 gold.
Where does Song Chen get his money?
He suddenly remembered what happened when he first met Song Chen.
Back then, before Song Chen even started cultivating, he could easily take out ten gold coins to buy a broken stone.
Even when he massacred the Song family, he found more than a hundred taels of gold in Song Chen's house.
Mu Feng pursed his lips tightly. He should have realized that Song Chen had a knack for making money.
He looked up at Li Wantian, his eyes flashing with dissatisfaction and resentment.
Li Wantian may seem rich, but he never spends his money, let alone entrusts it to him for safekeeping.
Moreover, Li Wantian probably doesn't have as much money as Song Chen.
The appearance of 680,000 gold coins stunned the entire audience.
The auctioneer was laughing so hard his eyes were almost closed.
Auction houses make their money by taking a cut.
This time, Song Chen bought all the goods, so there wouldn't be any unsold items, and they would earn even more commission.
He tapped the bell in his hand:
"The auction will continue, and the goods will be brought in quickly."
If any cultivator is interested in the goods, they can raise their bid within ten breaths.
To prevent malicious price gouging, the minimum markup for each item is 10,000 gold!
"Wow!"
The entire audience gasped in surprise.
This was the first time they had ever seen anything like it. It was truly an eye-opening experience!
The minimum markup starts at 10,000 gold coins.
If we calculate based on the [Three Flowers Concentrating Elixir], which costs 330 gold, then we would need to buy it with gold.
Zhao Ziyi stood up excitedly, looked at Mu Feng, and laughed heartily:
"Come on, Mu Feng, it's time to show off your wealth."
And Li Wantian, let me see how you squander money, let me see exactly how you squander it.
"Hey Li Yunxiu over there, stop pretending to be dead. How much money is in the storage bag your ancestor left behind? Show it to me!"
