Chapter 2611: Too High-profile...

The hall downstairs was filled with people who came to bid, and the second-floor private rooms were also packed with the Family Heads of the Eight Prominent Families. Elder Xue busily welcomed guests in the hall, occasionally engaging in brief conversations with distinguished guests.

In an instant, the auction officially began.

"Honored Family Heads, distinguished guests, the annual Lin City auction has officially commenced." Elder Xue took the stage, greeting everyone, and was met with thunderous applause. Elder Xue belonged to the Myriad Gods Tower, making this auction house in Lin City a significant presence; naturally, he was the host of such a grand annual event.

"Finally, it begins; I’ve waited a year for this."

"I wonder what treasures will be in store this time."

"I heard all the Family Heads from the Eight Prominent Families are here in person..."

...

From the onset, the atmosphere below soared, and people started discussing fervently. They had waited for this yearly auction for an entire year, each family prepared with substantial Yuan Stones, hoping to acquire valuable items this time.

"Next, let’s auction the first item, the Nine Heavens Imperial Sword, an offensive Dharma Treasure." Elder Xue began the introduction as an attendant brought a seemingly small and exquisite sword, over a yard long. When Xue Fan unsheathed it, everyone was astonished; the sword’s body was more than twice the length of the sheath, a marvel never seen before.

"Starting at four hundred thousand, with increments of fifty thousand each time," Xue Fan announced.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred fifty thousand."

"Six hundred thousand!"

...

The atmosphere in the audience grew lively, with guests downstairs eagerly bidding. The first treasure was so captivating; this auction was simply superb.

"Eight hundred thousand!" Luan Zhengtang from the number one box upstairs made an offer, and seeing the Luan Family’s interest in the treasure, the others refrained from bidding further. Who would bother challenging the Luan Family for something they’re interested in?

Xue Fan looked towards the number one box, then at the crowd who ceased their bidding, calmly saying, "Eight hundred thousand once, eight hundred thousand twice, sold at eight hundred thousand. Congratulations to Family Head Luan for successfully bidding on the first treasure!"

Luan Zhengtang displayed a satisfied smile, as in Lin City, there was nothing he desired that anyone dared compete for. The other families saw the Luan Family securing the first item but remained silent.

Lin Feng listened intently from his box, refraining from bidding initially, merely sweeping a casual glance; he typically did not act on items he wasn’t interested in.

As time passed, finally, a treasure was brought to the stage, prompting Lin Feng to rise from his seat. Elder Xue took out a purple Jade Stone, placing it on his hand, addressing the crowd: "This is the Symbol Rock Jade, primarily used for nurturing Divine Sense, with a starting price of one million, increasing by one hundred thousand each time."

Seeing the purple light shimmering from the Jade Stone, Lin Feng realized it was a rare treasure; he had encountered it in an Ancient Book. Divine Sense was exceptionally important to Lin Feng, so he was determined to obtain this treasure.

"One million."

"One million five hundred thousand!"

"Two million."

...

People downstairs were shouting bids one after another, while Lin Feng remained silent until the price soared to four million, and the audience fell quiet. A Jade Stone reaching four million was considered extremely high at an auction.

The last offer of four million came from the Liu Family, one of the Eight Prominent Families, with Family Head Liu Chengfeng and Young Master Liu Hua in the box, sipping tea. Seeing no more bids, the father and son were delighted, as the treasure finally seemed secured. The Liu Family prioritized cultivation related to Divine Sense, making this treasure invaluable to them.

"Five million." Lin Feng softly remarked from his box, then pressed the button on the table. At that moment, Xue Fan on stage clearly heard Lin Feng state the price.

"Number ten box bids five million!" Xue Fan repeated, surprised that Lin Feng hadn’t bid yet, then suddenly increased the price by one million, causing all guests to erupt with excitement.

"Who is in number ten?"

"They haven’t spoken, suddenly raising by a million!"

"My god, that’s bold."

...

The audience comprised mostly well-known figures from Lin City, but they had never seen anyone instantly raise the bid by a million at an auction. Everyone turned towards the number ten box, unable to see inside, speculating who it could possibly be aside from the Eight Prominent Families, capable of such a thing.

"Father, this..." Hearing Xue Fan state that number ten box bid five million, Liu Hua couldn’t contain his shock, believing the treasure was theirs for sure, yet someone else tried to snatch it away.

Liu Chengfeng saw this situation and was quite unwilling, but he also wanted to find out who was competing with them for this Symbol Rock Jade. However, this treasure was something the Liu Family deeply needed, so he decided to try again and shouted, "Five hundred and ten thousand."

"Box seven, five hundred and ten thousand!" Xue Fan repeated. He found the situation increasingly interesting; the Liu Family was also interested in this Jade Stone, but he wondered if they could compete with Lin Feng.

"The Liu Family actually raised the bid again."

"Wow, this is so exciting."

"Let’s see if they’ll raise it again this time!"

...

The people below the stage all turned to look in the direction of the Liu Family because the eight Prominent Families had fixed positions. People from Lin City all knew this, and they all felt that this Jade Stone was bound to be the Liu Family’s. No other family had stepped in to compete. Who exactly was in box ten?

Lin Feng heard someone continue to raise the bid and was not surprised. He directly shouted, "Six million."

"Boss, are you sure about six million?" Ma Biaohu heard Lin Feng’s bid and his eyes widened. Lin Feng hadn’t followed up on any of the previous treasures, nor had he raised even a few thousand, but now he raised it by a million just like that. It was too strange.

Instantly, the people below the stage exploded into commotion. They all thought they had misheard, but Xue Fan did indeed say that box ten raised the bid to six million.

"This is outrageous!" Liu Chengfeng slammed the table fiercely. He really wanted to know who was intentionally opposing the Liu Family.

"Father, who could it be?" Liu Hua was also puzzled. Generally, if one of the major families genuinely needed something, the other families wouldn’t maliciously raise the bid. Who on earth would do this?

At this moment, the truly angry ones were the father and son of the Liu Family. They had never expected this person to raise the bid by a million all at once. They initially wanted to continue raising, but considering that the price of this Jade Stone exceeded their expected range, and if they raised again, and the person in box ten didn’t bid, they didn’t know what to do. The tactic of using a decoy to raise prices was commonly seen. Thinking it over, they felt it was a trap, so they held back from bidding again.

"Six million once!"

"Six million twice."

"Six million three times! Sold!"

After Xue Fan repeated the price three times, he knocked the wooden gavel and said, "Congratulations to the gentleman in box ten for winning the Symbol Rock Jade."

At this moment, Xue Fan was very happy to see Lin Feng won this auction item. Previously, he had always seen that Lin Feng hadn’t made a move, thinking that the items at this auction didn’t interest him. Now it turned out he just hadn’t seen anything he liked until now, so he felt relieved.

"Oh my god, six million for a piece of Jade Stone!"

"What kind of wealth, so domineering, who is it exactly!"

"Unbelievable, even the Liu Family didn’t dare to compete with him?"

...

Seeing Lin Feng win the treasure, everyone below the stage exclaimed in disbelief. They felt that competing with the Liu Family for a treasure already took a lot of courage, and the fact that he made such a generous bid was something they hadn’t seen before. Everyone was guessing the identity of this person.

"The next auction item is the Soul-Calming Dharma Artifact..." Elder Xue continued to introduce the items, and slowly another two hours passed. Although the subsequent treasures were excellent, Lin Feng hadn’t bid again, and the people below the stage began to feel puzzled. After all, Lin Feng had given them such a big shock just now.

While they were still puzzled, a treasure was pushed onto the stage. Upon closer inspection, it was observed to be a treasure resembling a compass. Elder Xue introduced, "This is the Eternal Sky-Suppressing Disk, an auxiliary transmission Dharma Treasure."

The people below the stage were stunned when they heard this. It was the first time in Lin City they’d seen a transmission Dharma Treasure up for auction. Since this compass was different from others and required re-forging to use, it was generally useless for most people unless they possessed exceptional Artifact Refining skills. However, people from Lin City all found this item remarkable and were eager to acquire it, feverishly raising the bids.

"Starting price three million, with a minimum increment of five hundred thousand each time." Xue Fan saw how interested everyone was in this treasure, so he deliberately set a higher increment price.

"I’ll bid three million five hundred thousand!"

"Four million."

"Four million five hundred thousand!"

...

The families in the private boxes were also scrambling to bid, possibly because they all felt that the transmission Dharma Treasure was crucial, and they all wanted to possess this item. Seeing the eight Prominent Families upstairs start to bid, the people downstairs no longer competed because they did not want to oppose these families, and their financial resources were indeed not as substantial, so they all quieted down.

"Five million." The Peng Family’s eldest son, Peng Qianshan, and second miss, Peng Muxue, were sitting in the box. This was the Peng Family’s first item to bid on today. In fact, the Peng Family was a very low-key prominent family in Lin City, and this Peng Young Master was not an arrogant person. The Peng Family’s reputation in Lin City was very good, but Peng Muxue really liked this treasure, so Peng Qianshan placed such a high bid to make his sister happy.

"Box three’s bid is five million!" Xue Fan repeated. He hadn’t expected such a damaged item to fetch such a high price, but the higher the price, the happier he was.

"Five million five hundred thousand." The Feng Family Patriarch, Feng Changhai, also began to bid from box four. They had always been generational enemies with the Peng Family, but as their strength could not rival the Peng Family’s, they wanted to gain some attention at this auction. After placing the bid, he looked outside. He wasn’t actually very interested in this treasure; he just wanted to attract some attention.
