Chapter 897: Got Screwed Over...
Beside Feng Rui, a guard of the Feng Family heard Feng Rui's words and looked hesitant.
He then said, "Young master, we're running low on money."
"We can't possibly compete for the final three jin of Energy Spiritual Meat."
"No more money?" Rong Xinmei frowned upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Feng Rui's face changed slightly.
"Who says there's no money?"
"I have plenty of money!!" Feng Rui reprimanded.
The Feng Family guard looked helpless.
"Third auction, three jin of Energy Spiritual Meat."
"Starting bid, fifteen thousand Elemental Crystals, each bid must not be less than one thousand Elemental Crystals!"
"Thirty thousand Elemental Crystals!!!" Ning Wenxin's words had just dropped.
Qin Chen's voice rang out.
Everyone in the lobby on the first floor was utterly dumbfounded.
This bid!!!
Starting off directly at thirty thousand Elemental Crystals?
This is simply insane!
No testing at all.
Right from the beginning, he brings the atmosphere to a climax.
Originally full of pride, Feng Rui.
Upon hearing Qin Chen's voice, his face changed instantly.
Evidently, Qin Chen's initial bid of thirty thousand Elemental Crystals shocked him a bit.
"Thirty-five thousand Elemental Crystals!!!" Feng Rui gritted his teeth and bid.
Upon hearing Feng Rui's bid, the guard next to him suddenly turned pale.
"Young master, we don't have that many Elemental Crystals!!" The guard shouted anxiously.
The consequences of not being able to pay the auction price are very serious.
"I told you, I have plenty of money!"
"I'm loaded with money!"
"At worst, I'll sell the 'Buddha Light Pearl' I just got a few days ago!"
"I believe my father won't blame me!!!"
"After all, Energy Spiritual Meat is something that can't be bought no matter how much money one has."
"I must acquire these three jin of Energy Spiritual Meat!"
The guard's words made Feng Rui a bit angry.
"Forty thousand Elemental Crystals!!!"
"Young Master Feng, why are you doing this?"
"If you can't pay the auction price, the consequences are very serious." Qin Chen bid, smiling as he spoke.
And, Qin Chen's words seemed to agitate Feng Rui.
Feng Rui's neck turned red.
"I have plenty of money!!"
"Fifty thousand Elemental Crystals!!!" Feng Rui seemed anxious.
The heavy figures left everyone at the auction house in shock.
"Fifty-five thousand Elemental Crystals!" Qin Chen spoke again.
"Sixty thousand!!!"
Feng Rui's voice, anyone could tell, was shouted out from the throat.
His neck swelled and his face was flushed.
After this shout, Qin Chen bit his lip and then said with difficulty, "Sixty-one thousand Elemental Crystals!!!"
The Feng Family guard, hearing Qin Chen continuing to bid.
His heart almost jumped out of his body.
Crazy!
All crazy!
Is it really just for Energy Spiritual Meat? Although it's precious, is it really worth spending so much money?
"Sixty-five thousand!!!"
Sure enough, once Qin Chen's words dropped, Feng Rui's voice immediately rang out.
This sentence was completely squeezed out from Feng Rui's teeth.
Evidently, he had reached his limit.
This figure, even for him, felt truly terrifying.
"Sixty-five thousand, plus the previous Elemental Crystals, totals... one hundred and seven thousand Elemental Crystals!"
"Converted to stone coins, that's fifty-three million five hundred thousand!"
"That's about right." Qin Chen said, smiling.
He did not bid again.
Even a strong practitioner in the Primordial Flower Realm would not have this much wealth, at most half this number.
This was enough to prove what a terrifying figure it was.
"Congratulations to the guest in VIP Room No.9 for winning three jin of Energy Spiritual Meat!"
Ning Wenxin dropped the hammer.
"Humph! Compete with me? Can you beat me?"
Seeing Qin Chen not bidding again, Feng Rui let out a big breath inwardly but appeared very proud outwardly.
"Young Master Feng, you are truly magnificent." Rong Xinmei beside Feng Rui looked full of admiration.
Feng Rui's lavishness fit his expectations.
Feng Rui looked quite pleased.
Yet, those in the hall had strange expressions.
Earlier, when Qin Chen and Feng Rui bid fiercely, they hadn't quite reacted.
At this point, once calming down, they felt something was amiss.
The people in VIP Room No.9, did they genuinely want to buy Energy Spiritual Meat?
With the finale of the Energy Spiritual Meat being auctioned off.
This auction was considered completely over.
Subsequently, Qin Chen went to the auction house's backstage.
Collected the items he won, the Mystical Ice Nether Vine, Starving Tiger Map.
Of course, mostly, Elemental Crystals.
After deducting the commission, Qin Chen received a total of ninety-six thousand three hundred Elemental Crystals.
In the end, Qin Chen exchanged all his remaining stone coins for Elemental Crystals.
Just enough to gather a little over one hundred thousand Elemental Crystals.
One hundred thousand Elemental Crystals, this was the exact quantity needed to set up a medium-sized Elemental Crystal Array.
"Hopefully, we can cooperate again in the future."
As Qin Chen was leaving, Hong Qingya appeared.
"Definitely." Qin Chen nodded, smiling.
Taking numerous Elemental Crystals, the Starving Tiger Map, Mystical Ice Nether Vine, Qin Chen returned perfectly to the Imperial City Telekinesis Master Association.
And at this moment, the backstage of the auction house.
"Young Master Feng, you won a total of six items, amounting to fifty-five million three hundred twenty thousand stone coins!"
"Since you're a VIP of our Green Cliff Auction House, you only need to pay fifty-five million stone coins in total."
A staff member from Green Cliff Auction House told Feng Rui.
Upon hearing this number, Feng Rui's face turned even paler.
Even feeling his body somewhat unstable.
"Young master, we currently only have thirty million stone coins." The guard whispered into Feng Rui's ear.
Feng Rui's face grew even uglier.
The staff chuckled inwardly and said, "If Young Master Feng can't produce the amount now, it's okay, we can send someone to the Feng Family."
Feng Rui's expression changed.
"No need."
Feng Rui bit his teeth and said.
Then he took off several items he had on him.
"These things should be worth about twenty-five million stone coins."
At that moment, Feng Rui's mood was somewhat foul.
The items on him were rare Supreme Treasures.
He suddenly felt that one of the Top Ten Delicacies, the Energy Spiritual Meat, was actually useless.
Those treasures, at critical moments, could even save his life.
But what about the Energy Spiritual Meat?
Other than eating it, what else can it do?
At least he won face and popularity!
Feng Rui comforted himself.
Thinking of this, his mood slightly improved.
"Alright, Young Master Feng."
The staff verified the items and handed over everything Feng Rui won.
At that moment.
A Feng Family guard entered looking extremely uneasy.
"Young master..."
The guard was very hesitant, as if what he wanted to say was difficult to voice.
"What is it? Speak your mind!" Feng Rui said.
"We got ripped off." The guard said through gritted teeth.
"Ripped off? What do you mean?"
Feng Rui's face instantly froze.
