Chapter 224: Competition among various parties

The young man in white was stunned for a moment, then angrily slammed his palm on the table in front of him, and whispered "bastard". If he had not understood the situation before, after hearing the mocking words from the other side, he also completely understood the fact that he was tricked by the other side.

Although the young man in white had a hot temper, he was not a fool. The Flame Sword was only worth more than a thousand gold coins, and it was a bit of a loss to sell it for fifteen thousand. But he was so excited that he had to bid for it, and now the other side raised it to such a high price. What made him even more angry was that there were bursts of low laughter in the hall below.

The young man in white had a red face because of anger, but after seeing several warriors with cold faces around the hall, he swallowed his anger. Although he was extremely furious, he also knew that this was not the place for him to act wildly. If he dared to act rashly here, regardless of whether their group could defeat the Yinsha Gang next door, even the warriors in charge of order in the auction house would be enough to easily kill them.

There had been similar fights over auction items at the auction, but after the auction house and the Luancheng City Lord's Mansion intervened, no one from either side left Luancheng alive. Although the two forces that were killed were dissatisfied, Luancheng was still supported by the Jiji Empire, so they could only swallow their anger.

But after the last incident, the Luancheng auction began to limit the number of participants, and participants could only bring three companions in. So after hesitating for a while, the young master of the Guiling Sect could only suppress his anger secretly, but his cold personality still made him secretly remember the few people who had just laughed at him, and the most important one was the Yinsha Gang in the next room.

The deal had been reached, and Li Ru was also smiling. She didn't care whether the young master was calculated by someone to spend such a high price. The higher the price, the more benefits it would bring to her.

The following auction items were constantly brought out. Li Ru was indeed the chief auctioneer of the auction. Some items that Zuo Feng thought were useless were all talked about by her. Zuo Feng was a little tempted, not to mention the guys below who were obsessed with sex and bought the items in a daze.

Of course, this is the Luancheng auction after all, and most of the items are hard to find in the outside world. When a particularly exquisite crossbow was brought out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people. Although this crossbow is small and light, its power is very unusual. Like the Flame Sword, Li Ru also asked someone to come up and demonstrate. The half-inch fine steel plate was actually pierced by it when fired at close range.

This power made Zuo Feng feel a little stunned. If it was attacked at close range, Zuo Feng estimated that at least the body of a warrior in the Bone Refining Stage would be directly pierced. If this crossbow arrow carries some toxins, I am afraid that even a warrior in the Tendon Tempering Stage will not be able to escape death.

After seeing the power of the crossbow, Zuo Feng was also a little tempted, but the price of this crossbow was only 700 gold coins. Zuo Feng was a little confused at first, but Li Ru mentioned it at the end of the introduction. This crossbow has a total of seven crossbow arrows, but it cannot be replenished after use. After all seven arrows are used up, the crossbow will be completely scrapped.

But even so, after seeing the power of the crossbow, some people were still tempted. The bidding was quite intense at the beginning, but when someone in the VIP room next to Zuo Feng directly offered a thousand gold coins, the people in the hall below immediately quieted down. Zuo Feng felt that the voice in the next room was somewhat familiar. After careful consideration, Zuo Feng remembered the man from the Blood Wolf Gang with a face full of flesh that he had seen at the city gate that day.

Originally, Zuo Feng wanted to buy it and study it carefully. His interest in refining equipment mainly came from this kind of small mechanism, but after knowing that the Blood Wolf Gang was also interested in this crossbow, he had to give up the intention of bidding. What he hoped most at this time was that the Blood Wolf Gang would not notice him.

When Li Ru was about to finalize the final winner, the young master of the White-clothed Guiling Sect spoke again and directly raised the price to 1,200 gold coins. Zuo Feng didn't know whether the young master was out of his mind or had no brain at all. He had just had a bad time with the Yinsha Sect, and now he seemed to be secretly competing with the Blood Wolf Gang.

The Blood Wolf Gang was obviously a little surprised, and the conversation in the next room also reached Zuo Feng's ears, but they seemed to deliberately lower their voices, so Zuo Feng only heard a few words.

"I'm not interested in this...test...be prepared"

Later, the voice became smaller and smaller. When Zuo Feng was concentrating on listening, the voice in the next room suddenly became louder. The man with a meat ball on his face who had seen him before suddenly cursed and said, "A young boy dares to compete with me for something. I don't care what he thinks. I have my eyes on this crossbow and I am going to give it to my third concubine. She likes this kind of strange things the most. I must get it."

The voice was so loud that even everyone in the hall could hear it clearly. However, because Zuo Feng was concentrating on eavesdropping, the sound was so loud that his ears were buzzing. Zuo Feng cursed in his heart while rubbing his ears angrily.

Yao Xun, who had not spoken for a long time, said in a cold voice: "You are not well-trained but you still want to show off. Eavesdropping is not as simple as simply concentrating your ears. Your hearing is so sharp. If the other party directly uses his power to make a sound, it will probably make you deaf."

Zuo Feng frowned slightly. He felt that since he told Yao Xun that he really wanted to learn refining, the other party's attitude towards him was obviously colder. The tone of his words just now was not like a reminder, but more like a reprimand. Before he could think about it, a voice came from the next room again.

"They are the Guiling Sect specializing in these mechanical techniques. Maybe they really want to get this thing. Why not..."

"Bullshit, I'll pay 1,300 gold."

The voice of the man with a face full of meat balls sounded again, interrupting his companion's words. The last words were naturally said to Li Ru on the stage. But then there was no sound from the Guiling Sect, as if they were just trying to raise the price.

In the end, the mechanical crossbow was sold at a price that was almost twice the reserve price. Of course, this does not mean that the crossbow is really worth this price. Zuo Feng also saw that these forces came to Luancheng this time. Obviously, they had hostile fire from the beginning. Although they did not make it clear, Zuo Feng also saw that they seemed to be ready to bid for something.

Shortly after the crossbow was sold, the subordinates who had been sent to investigate Zuo Feng's background in the VIP room opposite also reported back. As Yao Xun said, they did not find any clues, but were warned by the auction. This made the young man in white, who was still complacent after playing tricks on the Blood Wolf Gang, look cold again, and looked at Zuo Feng again.

This time, Zuo Feng did not dodge, but stared coldly at the other party while he was looking at him. Seeing Zuo Feng's performance, the young man in white smiled coldly and nodded slowly. It seemed as if he was saying, "Boy, I will remember you."

Zuo Feng smiled slightly without caring, and turned his head to continue watching the auction. Li Ru then took out several kinds of medicinal powders, but Zuo Feng did not take a liking to these medicinal powders for restoring spiritual energy and physical strength, and they were all snatched away by the people below the stage.

When Zuo Feng was about to lose interest in this auction, three ordinary porcelain bottles were brought out on the stage. Others didn't feel anything special, but when Zuo Feng saw the three porcelain bottles, he suddenly straightened up because he recognized that it was the "Forget Worry Drunk" he brewed.

In fact, these three bottles of wine can no longer be called "Forget Worry Drunk" because during the brewing process, Zuo Feng was constantly improving his brewing skills and trying to find out how to brew wine that suits his own temperament. Originally, this process could not be completed in ten days or eight days, but he had a super master of alchemy by his side.

After Yao Xun's many suggestions and several attempts, Zuo Feng replaced several of the original materials and added several other medicinal materials, so the wine was completely different from the one brewed at the beginning.

Li Ru glanced at the wine bottle on the tray next to him, pondered for a while, and then said: "The wine in this porcelain bottle is called "Forget Worry Drunk."

When the people in the hall heard that the bottle contained wine, they couldn't help but be a little shocked. How could there be wine for sale at such an important auction. Everyone was surprised, but they were also having fun, wanting to see if anyone would buy the wine, and also wanted to know what price the wine could be sold for.

Li Ru introduced the price of the wine first, contrary to her previous introduction.

"The wine in this bottle is freshly brewed, and the starting price for each bottle is 300 gold coins."

As soon as the price was announced, the people in the hall below immediately burst into laughter, and even Zuo Feng, who was originally looking forward to it, was stunned. The previous reserve price of the crossbow machine was only 700 gold coins, and the bottle of Crazy Powder was a bit tasteless, but it was still ranked high among the medicinal powders, but it was only 200 gold coins, but each bottle of this wine cost 300 gold coins, how could Zuo Feng not be surprised.

Li Ru smiled awkwardly and continued, "Although you see three bottles, you can only get two bottles in the end. One of them has been reserved by someone, and it was reserved at the final transaction price."

This made everyone even more shocked. It was reserved in advance, and it was reserved at the final transaction price. If a fool offered a very high price, wouldn't the person who reserved it have to pay a high price to buy it? This weird scene made people who participated in so many Luancheng auctions fall into confusion for a while.
