Chapter 32 The Auction Ends
Inside the private room, Mu Yuanfeng took a sip of tea slowly and calmly, saying, "It seems that the person who competed with the little girl from the Shui family for the Ice Lotus Water was Chen Moran from the Chen family."
"It's him." Mu Yuanhang said with a smile.
"In this life, I always regret that I have little joy. He is willing to pay a thousand gold coins for a simple smile. Chen Moran is indeed an elegant man!" Mu Yuanfeng said jokingly.
"That's right," Mu Yuanhang echoed.
"Elegant? For a Shuang'er, you are so extravagant and ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. It's a joke. And you still call it elegant." Mu Ke said with a gloomy face.
Mu Yuanfeng lowered his head and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His son's mischief in the past was even worse than Chen Moran's. Mu Yuanfeng had been worried that Mu Chen would jump out to bid, but fortunately, Mu Chen did not do so.
Mu Yuanhang looked at Mu Yuanfeng and frowned. Mu Chen used to be unscrupulous, but now he has really changed.
“…”
In the Chen family's patriarch's box.
Chen Hansheng said coldly: "Chao He, how do you discipline your son? Letting your son get angry over Shuang'er and the little princess of the Shui family is really a joke."
Chen Chaohe saw the gloating looks on his brothers' faces and blushed. He said, "It's my fault for not disciplining him well. From now on, I will definitely discipline him strictly."
Chen Hansheng nodded and said coldly, "He's not a child anymore. Mu Chen from the Mu family knows how to make progress and stop messing around, but he's still like this."
"Mo Ran just has the mentality of a child. If Mu Chen can change it, he can change it too." Chen Chaohe said.
Chen Hansheng glanced at Chen Chaohe coldly and said, "I hope so."
…………
"Next up, the item to be auctioned is a second-grade alchemy furnace, the Purple Cloud Furnace, and the starting price is five hundred yuan stones." A purple alchemy furnace was placed on the table. The surface of the furnace was engraved with cloud patterns, and it looked extremely luxurious.
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone raised the price to one thousand.
Mu Chen's expression suddenly tensed up, and he shouted directly, "Two thousand."
The price of two thousand yuan stone did not scare everyone, and the price continued to rise to three thousand.
Mu Ke raised an eyebrow, "Chen'er seems to be bidding. What does he want the alchemy furnace for?"
Mu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "He seems to be interested in alchemy recently and is clamoring for an alchemy furnace."
Mu Ke was a little surprised and said, "Oh, he's interested in alchemy?"
Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "Yes!"
"It's not easy to refine the elixir! Many people have spent all their money but still failed to achieve any results." Mu Yuanhang said coldly.
"Chen'er is Yuanfeng's son. With Yuanfeng's hands-on teaching, it will naturally be easier for him to become an alchemist than ordinary people. By then, we will have two alchemists in our family, which will be the envy of others." Mu Ke stroked his beard and said with anticipation.
Mu Yuanhang agreed: "Father is right."
"It's too early to say this now. Maybe Chen'er is just enthusiastic for three minutes." Mu Yuanfeng said.
Alchemy requires absolute patience. Mu Yuanfeng is not very confident that Mu Chen can persist. However, it is better for Mu Chen to be interested in alchemy than in women.
"Three thousand four."
When the bidding reached this point, the bidding gradually slowed down. "Three thousand five hundred." Mu Chen said loudly.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen's flushed face, took out the card in his hand and handed it to Mu Chen, saying, "Here are another thousand."
Mu Chen struggled for a while, then pushed the card to Ye Shi and said, "That's for you to spend. No."
"Three thousand six."
"Three thousand eight." When this price was called out, Mu Chen's heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Fortunately, after Muchen called out the price of three thousand eight hundred, no one argued with him.
Mu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That was a close call." If the price was any higher, he would have had to give up or ask Ye Shi for a loan.
Ye Shi looked at Mu Chen, blinked, and said, "You're sweating a lot."
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Really? Wipe it off for me."
Ye Shi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat off Muchen's head. Muchen originally just wanted to tease Ye Shi, but Ye Shi's actions made Muchen feel a little helpless.
Looking at Mu Chen, Ye Shi couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, secretly thinking: This guy Mu Chen is actually not as... annoying as the rumors say.
…………
Shui Linglong looked at the private room upstairs, tapping her fingers on the table, and asked, "Was that Mu Chen who just bid?"
Shui Qiancheng nodded and said, "It should be him."
Shui Linglong narrowed her eyes and said, "That guy used to always hang around Zhuang Yu, but lately, it seems like he's nowhere to be seen behind Zhuang Yu."
Shui Qiancheng shrugged and said, "I heard that this guy has changed recently and is very motivated. He has forgotten about Zhuang Yu."
Shui Linglong sneered and said, "Change of character? Motivated? A dog will always eat shit. How can he be motivated?"
"That's not the case. I saw him on the street some time ago and found that he was already a warrior." Shui Qiancheng said.
Shui Linglong's eyes widened in surprise and asked, "Warrior?"
Shui Qiancheng nodded and said, "Yes!"
"I don't know, maybe Mu Yuanfeng used elixirs to boost Mu Chen's strength." Shui Linglong said disapprovingly.
Shui Qiancheng shook his head and said, "No, Mu Yuanfeng is an alchemist, he must know the dangers of abusing elixirs."
Shui Linglong tilted her head and said, "So, Mu Chen really knows how to make progress."
Shui Qiancheng nodded and said, "It seems so."
"It's really surprising." Shui Linglong couldn't help but say.
…………
"The person who bought the alchemy furnace just now seems to be Mu Chen!" Zhuang Yu said.
Chen Moran nodded and said, "It should be him."
"Is he interested in alchemy?" Zhuang Yu muttered.
Chen Moran forced a smile and said, "Don't you understand him yet? He only has a short-lived enthusiasm for everything he does."
Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "It was like that before, but it seems to be different recently.
When Chen Moran heard Zhuang Yu's words, he couldn't help but feel more resentful towards Muchen.
…………
Mu Chen held the alchemy furnace and observed it carefully. Just this broken alchemy furnace had drained all his wealth!
No wonder people say alchemy is a money-burning job! He hasn't even started yet, but his pockets are already empty.
"Do you want to learn alchemy?" Ye Shi asked, holding his chin.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yes!"
"He's really rich, but it's hard to say whether he will be rich in the future." Ye Shi couldn't help but say.
Mu Chen tilted his head and said, "Why do you say that?"
Ye Shi shrugged and said, "Everyone says that alchemy is for rich people, and that out of ten rich people, only one rich one will be rich. It means that out of eleven rich people making alchemy, ten will become poor, and only one will become richer."
Mu Chen smiled and said confidently: "I will become the rich..."
Ye Shi said disapprovingly: "Those ten poor people thought the same thing before they made the elixir."
Mu Chen: “…”
The auction was gradually coming to an end, and soon the first of the three treasures in the finale appeared. It was a third-level elixir, the Soul-Restoring Pill, which could instantly replenish the vitality below the martial spirit to 70% of the original. It was also a very precious elixir. The elixir was sold at a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan stone.
After the auction of the Fuling Pill, the next item to be auctioned was a third-level Qingming Snake's demon core, which was bought for 150,000 stones.
The last item auctioned was a low-grade Xuan-level fighting skill, which was bought for 300,000 yuan worth of stones.
Ye Shi stared, stunned by the sky-high auction prices.
"Let's go." Seeing the auction was over, Mu Chen took Ye Shi's hand and said.
Ye Shi finally recovered from his shock. Seeing that Mu Chen was holding his hand, he did not struggle and followed Mu Chen out.
When Mu Ke walked out of the private room, he saw Mu Chen and Ye Shi walking out of the auction house hand in hand.
"Chen'er, who is that person next to you? Chen'er must have taken the photo of that dagger for him." Mu Ke frowned and said in a gloomy tone.
Mu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "Grandpa, you forgot that you once arranged a marriage for Chen'er. That was the boy from the Ye family."
Mu Ke was stunned for a moment and said, "Is that Shuang'er from the Ye family? She really looks a bit like Ye He. Why didn't she come to the house when he came?"
Mu Yuanfeng smiled and said, "That kid is very ambitious, he must have his own considerations."
"Looking at Mu Chen, he seems to like that child very much!" Mu Ke said with a complicated expression.
Mu Yuanfeng nodded and said, "Yes! Chen'er is very satisfied."
"As long as Chen'er likes it." Mu Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
