Liu Yiren was enraged and shouted, "Xie Wang, it seems you really don’t want to leave Qianxing City alive. Say that again if you dare?"
Xie Wang’s expression was lecherous, his face full of a wicked smile: "What? Can’t afford to lose? Admit defeat if you have no money, don’t sha yourself by threatening others here."
"I’m not the one with no money. I just fear you can’t compete, twenty billion!"
Holy shit...
Not only were the guests at the scene dumbfounded, but even Qin Yi was left speechless.
It seems this silly girl really has no concept of money! Do you even understand what twenty billion ans?
Xie Wang’s face stiffened, and he instinctively looked toward the elder on the second floor. Liu Yiren’s sudden increase to twenty billion indeed made him uncomfortable.
Because the funds he could use amounted to twenty billion. Strictly speaking, the limit of the funds his father Xie Jiang could use in the Blood Cloud Tower was twenty billion.
Liu Yiren’s outburst of twenty billion indeed hit Xie Wang’s weak spot.
Seeing Xie Wang looking again at the elder on the second floor, Liu Yiren’s face was full of disdain as she mocked, "What? Out of money, asking your grandpa for help?"
Xie Wang’s face was as grim as if his parents had died.
The elder surnad Zhu on the second floor pondered for a mont and slowly held out one finger.
Xie Wang understood, his Uncle Zhu could help him with an additional billion.
However, Liu Yiren’s bids were in billions; adding just one billion seed a bit petty.
Moreover, if he shouted twenty-one billion and Liu Yiren continued to raise, what then?
Xie Wang was very displeased.
"Twenty-one billion!"
Finally, he shouted out.
If Liu Yiren bid higher, the sword would be placed with the Liu Family for the ti being. When he ca to flatten the Liu Family with others, the sword would still be his.
Liu Yiren sneered with contempt, but as she was about to raise the bid, a hand covered her mouth.
It was Qin Yi who covered her mouth.
"Young Master Xie, apologies! My little sister was spoiled since childhood, unaware of the heights of the heavens, she offended Young Master Xie, truly sorry! We won’t take the sword." Qin Yi said apologetically.
Xie Wang was slightly stunned, then his eyes turned disdainful.
"It seems the Liu Family still has people who understand the situation."
Qin Yi smiled, then dragged the struggling Liu Yiren back to their private box and let go of her!
"Qin Yi, what are you doing?" Liu Yiren’s face was full of grievance.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Are you stupid? What are you competing with him for?"
"But I really like that sword. I’m not short of money, why should I let him have it? And if I back down, where’s the Liu Family’s face?"
Qin Yi laughed, "Xie Wang already has no money left. Just a bit more and he’d have to give up."
Although Qin Yi couldn’t see it, Xie Wang hesitated for a long ti before shouting twenty-one billion. Previously, he had been shouting directly without thinking.
But this ti, he hesitated, which showed that Xie Wang was out of money, and twenty billion was likely his limit.
Liu Yiren’s eyes widened, "Then why didn’t you let raise the bid?"
"Are you stupid? Spending over twenty billion to buy the Qingshuang Sword versus getting it for free, which is better?"
Liu Yiren looked at Qin Yi puzzled, "What do you an?"
"Don’t worry! I assure you that you’ll get the Qingshuang Sword."
"Really?" Liu Yiren’s eyes lit up, "What cunning plan are you up to now?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Alright! I won’t ask anymore, I believe you!" Liu Yiren was full of excitent, as long as Qin Yi said so, it would definitely be done.
anwhile, Xie Wang had already sent soone to pay and obtained the Qingshuang Sword.
As Xie Wang went upstairs, he looked at Liu Yiren with a proud and provocative gaze.
Liu Yiren’s pretty face turned ashen with rage, though inside she was secretly laughing; Fool, you’ve been targeted by Qin Yi and you still don’t know?
"What’s the next item?" Qin Yi asked casually.
He was here solely to accompany Liu Yiren, and the only item he liked, the pair of jade bottles, had been bought by Xie Wang. The rest didn’t interest him.
The Qingshuang Sword Liu Yiren wanted had also been bought by Xie Wang.
Qin Yi’s lips curled slightly, let him keep it safe for him and Liu Yiren for a while.
"If the next items don’t interest you, we can leave. It’s quite boring here." Qin Yi stretched lazily.
"If we leave, what about Xie Wang?" Liu Yiren asked.
"Qianxing City is the territory of your Liu Family, are you afraid he’ll get away?"
Liu Yiren nodded: "That’s true!"
"Brother Liu Feng, keep an eye on them for ."
Liu Feng nodded slightly.
"Then let’s go! I ca for the Qingshuang Sword, the next item is supposed to be an incense burner, but grandfather said it’s a pill furnace..."
Qin Yi had already stood up, but upon hearing the words ’pill furnace’, he sat back down.
If it was a pill furnace, he could use it.
He needed a pill furnace to refine the Breakthrough Pill.
He previously failed using the ho stove to refine the Breakthrough Pill. If not for good luck, those precious thirty-year-old great dicines would have been wasted.
If Xia Yanbing and the others succeeded in becoming Qi Refiners, he would need to refine the Breakthrough Pill to raise their realms.
A shapely lady walked on stage holding a forty-sothing centiter item, covered in a red cloth.
When Li Ziyu unveiled the red cloth, its true appearance was revealed.
It was a four-legged stone cauldron, resembling an incense burner, entirely gray with carved auspicious clouds and cranes.
The crowd was curious, most recognized it as an incense burner.
The later items are more and more valuable, yet an incense burner was placed after the Qingshuang Sword.
Li Ziyu said, "Ladies and gentlen, I believe most of you, like , think this item is an incense burner."
"Isn’t it?" soone asked.
"Please be patient, listen to explain. Initially, we all thought it was an incense burner."
"However, after our examination, this is actually a pill furnace. Everyone, please look..."
As he said this, Li Ziyu opened the lid of the pill furnace.
Imdiately, a rich aroma wafted out, and the guests close to the auction stage slled the strong dicinal fragrance, which made them feel refreshed and clear-headed.
Li Ziyu closed the lid and smiled, "You all must have slled it. Based on our estimates, this is likely an item from the Qin Dynasty. As everyone knows, Emperor Shi pursued immortality, and alchemy flourished at that ti."
"This item has circulated for a millennium and still has such a dicinal aroma, proving it is extraordinary. You all slled the aroma inside, didn’t it feel invigorating? If inhaled regularly, while it might not grant immortality, it surely promises life extension."
"Ladies and gentlen, life is priceless! Aside from that, the collectible value alone is astounding."
"Therefore, the starting bid for this is two hundred and ten million, with each incrent not less than ten million."
However, an awkward scene unfolded.
As Li Ziyu finished speaking, no one at the scene made a bid.
Qin Yi’s lips slightly curled; these people at Run Tian Auction House have a limited perspective.
They were probably trying to use life extension to attract bidders, as everyone knows, the wealthier people fear death, hence placing this pill furnace after the Qingshuang Sword.
They didn’t realize that although this furnace is precious, it is ultimately a dead object, and claims of life extension are purely speculative. These wealthy individuals aren’t fools; why would they spend so much on an uncertainty?
