#274 - Chapter 274: The Second Decision
Cheng Feng's gaze was as sharp as a hawk's, fixed on every treasure circulating on the auction stage, but deep down, his desire for the "Silken Thread Art" burned like a raging fire, difficult to suppress.
Cheng Feng's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both anticipation and apprehension.
He secretly prayed that the competition for the "Silken Thread Art" would be relatively mild, so that he would not be caught in a dilemma.
However, fate always seemed to play tricks on people.
On the stage, the beautiful woman smiled charmingly and said, "Next is the third-to-last auction item of this event, many warriors have come for it, and many warrior families have been preparing for it for a long time.
The starting price for the rare Bone Forging stage cultivation method "Silken Thread Art" is thirty thousand taels, with each increase not less than ten thousand taels, please bid, esteemed guests."
When this rare auxiliary cultivation method for the Bone Forging stage was finally displayed before everyone's eyes, the entire auction venue seemed to be ignited, instantly boiling over.
The esteemed guests in the upstairs boxes also joined in, the sound of bidding rising and falling, the price soaring all the way.
A clear, cold female voice came from Box Five: "Fifty thousand taels."
A male voice came from Box Three: "The Li family is getting worse and worse, sixty thousand taels."
Box Five: "Liu Ji, is sixty thousand taels ahead of the game? Ninety thousand taels."
Cheng Feng clenched his fists, his forehead slightly sweating.
He constantly weighed the pros and cons, thinking about whether to spend everything to bid for this cultivation method.
As a result, the bidding surged like a tide, and the price soared like a wild horse, far exceeding Cheng Feng's initial expectations.
He clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails almost digging into his palms, and fine beads of sweat also oozed from his forehead.
At this moment, he deeply understood the helplessness and struggle of "having it is my luck, losing it is my fate."
Just as Cheng Feng was about to give up, an unexpected variable appeared.
A mysterious buyer dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows of his hood, suddenly intervened, shouting from below the stage: "One hundred thousand taels!"
The high price he offered shocked everyone present, as if he was using practical actions to tell everyone that he was determined to obtain this "Silken Thread Art."
Those sitting under the stage were basically warriors without fame or with large backgrounds.
Such a warrior suddenly intervened in the auction, and called out "One hundred thousand taels" at such a high price.
The eyes of everyone present could not help but focus on the mysterious buyer dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows of his hood.
Although he did not seem to belong to those prominent warrior families or forces, his courage and determination could not be underestimated.
The VIP boxes on the stage were also a little surprised, the clear, cold female voice in Box Five laughed: "A lone rogue cultivator also wants to get his hands on a precious cultivation method? Does he really think there is no one in the City Lord's Mansion? One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
On the contrary, Box Three was silent, it seemed that the family in Box Five, the Li family, was implicitly standing on the same front.
The black-robed man's heart sank, he did not expect the situation to become so tense.
He gritted his teeth and decided to fight again.
"Two hundred thousand taels!" the black-robed man shouted loudly, his voice echoing throughout the auction venue.
There was an uproar, this price had far exceeded expectations.
The cold woman in Box Five's eyes turned cold, "Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
The black-robed man felt the pressure doubled, but he did not want to give up easily.
He took a deep breath, "Three hundred thousand taels!"
At this time, the audience was silent, people were watching the black-robed man and Box Five.
Finally, Box Five was silent.
The auctioneer finalized the deal, "Congratulations to this gentleman for obtaining the "Silken Thread Art"!"
Faced with this sudden change, Cheng Feng's heart could not help but surge with a sense of powerlessness.
With his financial resources, to compete with this mysterious buyer would undoubtedly be like an ant trying to stop a chariot.
But give up?
How could he be willing?
This cultivation method was not only a shortcut to improve his strength, but also the key to the future development of the Hongmen.
Just as Cheng Feng was caught in a deep contradiction and struggle, he suddenly thought of something, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.
He quickly turned around and whispered a few words to the disciples around him, the disciples nodded after listening, and quickly left the box.
Cheng Feng knew that relying on his own financial resources, it was almost impossible to compete with that mysterious buyer.
In this auction, in addition to financial resources, wisdom and strategy were also needed.
Perhaps, he could start from another angle and look for a turning point.
Moreover, the people around Cheng Feng also gave their men an obscure wink, there were quite a few people like this.
Cheng Feng touched the space ring on his chest, the robot dog was inside, this was his biggest trump card, and also the key means to seize the Silken Thread Art.
I wonder if the people around can stop it?
Watching the black-robed man walk towards the room behind to pay, the crowd in the audience left their seats one after another, leaving more than half in an instant, many families and rogue cultivators were hoping for this.
Auxiliary cultivation methods are very scarce, during the Blood Forging stage, there are still many tonics and supplements that can help, auxiliary cultivation methods for the Bone Forging stage can be called rare.
Every family with an auxiliary cultivation method will not release such a good thing to the outside world, some even change the name of the cultivation method, outsiders do not recognize the name, do not know the specific content, as long as the effect is good enough.
The higher the warrior's realm, the more precious the things needed.
From the blood energy infiltrating the bones, every step has its own difficulties, the bones can be broken carelessly, the blood energy meridians of the bones are wrong, the warrior's path will stagnate at least, and life will be lost at worst.
Eldest Sister Zhao Wei wants to break through Bone Forging with all her heart, but her grasp of blood energy is insufficient, if it weren't for Cheng Feng's Black Jade Bone Reviving Paste, I'm afraid she would also be a passerby on the road to the Yellow Springs.
Seeing that the people around who were taking action had the same idea,
Cheng Feng comforted his injured heart.
It's not that I'm too ruthless, but the people around are like this.
Immediately, his eyes changed, flashing a touch of ruthlessness: everyone wants that Silken Thread Art, then let's see the truth under our hands!
To be honest, this is the first time Cheng Feng has been so concerned about a cultivation method, it's really because this kind of cultivation method can make warriors in the Bone Forging stage progress faster, and will not hurt their lives.
So many people in the family and gang need it, Cheng Feng can't just watch them all be in danger and only save one.
Having the Black Jade Bone Reviving Paste is not used like this!
Moreover, Cheng Feng has only one person's worth of Black Jade Bone Reviving Paste left, Cheng Feng also wants to maximize its benefits, and there is already a candidate.
It depends on whether the fish takes the bait or not.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't take the bait, if it takes the bait, Cheng Feng may get another cultivation accelerator.
For progress, there is no shame.
Watching the black-robed man walk out of the transaction room, the people in the audience flickered their eyes, all looking at him with the eyes of a hunter.
The black-robed man turned a blind eye and sat down directly, waiting for the final auction item.
