Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2458 Raise the price

Everyone was watching, and Saito was no exception.

Qin Fei had already spent 10,000 crystals, and Saito didn't expect him to dare to bid against him again.

Without a moment's hesitation, he added one thousand more: "My Qi family is willing to offer eleven thousand!"

Wow!

Upon hearing this, everyone knew that there was probably going to be some good drama to watch.

Previously, Saito deliberately stood up and raised the price against Qin Fei in order to embarrass him.

And now Qin Fei is retaliating in the same way, making this auction more and more exciting.

"Old dog Qi, if you have a lot of crystals, join me. You guys probably won't get this so easily." Qin Fei sneered as he looked at Qi Teng.

"I am willing to offer 15,000 crystals to bid for this spiritual herb!" Qin Fei's voice boomed like thunder, resounding throughout the entire venue.

Saito only added a thousand crystals to the price, but Qin Fei added several thousand at once. In terms of sheer boldness, Qin Fei will definitely surpass Saito.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Die, die, die!"

When he saw Qin Fei arguing with him, Saito's eyes turned bloodshot almost instantly.

If it weren't for Li Yan standing next to Qin Fei, he would have rushed up and hacked Qin Fei to death!

"My Qi family is willing to pay 20,000!"

Finally, under everyone's watchful eyes, Saito shouted out a price that no one had expected.

For a single spiritual herb, Saito was willing to spend 20,000 crystals to buy it. Just how important is this thing to them?

"Twenty-five thousand!"

Seeing this, Qin Fei didn't hesitate for a second and immediately started raising the price.

"Sigh~"

Upon hearing Qin Fei's offer, even Li Yan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but gasp.

Li Yan already has a very good background, but he certainly wouldn't be willing to spend so many crystals to buy a spiritual herb. It can only be said that Qin Fei is willing to do anything to deal with the Qi family.

This shows that Qin Fei must be vengeful; otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to such lengths to oppose Saito.

"You brat, you will die!" Saito was so enraged by Qin Fei's increased bid that he roared at Qin Fei in front of everyone.

"Whether I live or die doesn't matter, but before I die, I will definitely not let you get away with this!" Qin Fei replied.

"Twenty-five thousand, will your Qi family continue to raise the price?" On the auction stage, Fatty Ge asked after a moment of silence.

"Thirty thousand!"

No one knew just how important this elixir was to Qi Teng and his family, so no matter the cost, he had to get his hands on it today, because without it, the weapon he and another Qi family elder had cultivated would probably be useless.

Once they lose their weapons, what will they use to kill Qin Fei?

They were actually consuming the life force of that Qi family assassin to frantically improve his cultivation level. Now, he was on the verge of death, but his cultivation level was only at the late stage of the Earth Profound Realm.

If they can't let this assassin break through to a higher realm than the Earth Profound Realm while he's still alive, then what makes them think they can kill Qin Fei?

Therefore, this elixir is the key to the success of their plan, and they cannot afford to lose it.

Unfortunately, Qin Fei was unaware of these matters. He only felt that it was probably enough to make that old dog Saito buy a spiritual herb at three times the price to make them vomit blood.

Thinking of this, he clapped his hands and said casually, "Since your Qi family has so many crystals that you don't know what to do with them, then I'll give you this spiritual herb."

"puff!"

As expected, when Saito heard Qin Fei's words, he felt his blood surging inside him, which he couldn't suppress at all. So he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot and almost fell to the ground.

Extremely hateful!

That's absolutely despicable!

"Alright, the Qi family has successfully bid for this spiritual herb at a price of 30,000 crystal stones. Congratulations!" Fatty Ge on the auction stage reacted quickly and immediately finalized the price.

puff!

Having been ripped off and then receiving congratulations, Saito was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Haha."

Many people who used to disapprove of Qi Jia's style of life couldn't help but burst into laughter.

They probably didn't expect Qin Fei to step in and cause trouble at the crucial moment, forcing them to pay a huge price to obtain a spiritual herb.

However, after the laughter subsided, some people keenly sensed something unusual, such as Li Yan.

He whispered to Qin Fei, "Spending so many crystals just to acquire a spiritual herb, there must be some hidden story behind it."

“This spiritual herb does indeed possess very powerful life force, but this force is definitely not enough for them to revive Qi Chen.” Qin Fei knew what Li Yan meant.

You should know that Qi Chen directly self-destructed in front of him, instantly annihilating his body and soul, leaving no trace of his remains.

If Saito bought this elixir for something like this, then it only means his plan might have backfired.

A person who is still breathing can be saved, and even a recently deceased person may be saved by someone with great supernatural powers.

However, if someone who has been completely erased can be saved, it can only mean that the world is about to change drastically.

"Is it possible that they bought this not for Qi Chen, but to do something else?" Li Yan put forward a reasonable hypothesis.

This medicinal herb must be extremely important to the Qi family, otherwise they wouldn't have spent so many crystals to forcibly purchase it.

While they did this partly out of spite towards Qin Fei, Saito didn't seem like a fool. If this thing didn't have any real use, why would he spend so many crystals to buy it?

There must be something fishy going on here.

"Brother Li, I'm all alone right now. How about you help me investigate this matter?" Qin Fei asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Regardless of whether or not Qin Fei was involved, he would still have sent people to investigate out of a desire for control. Whether they could find anything depended on how capable the person who sent them was.

The auction proceeded as planned, but Qin Fei did not bid on any of the subsequent items. He also noticed that after the Qi family won the bid for the spiritual herb, they did not linger at the auction site. After paying the required amount of crystals, they took the herb away directly.

Qin Fei originally wanted to continue fighting with them, but now that they were gone, he couldn't find a target to trick them, which made him lose some of the fun.

Before long, this phase of the auction was drawing to a close, and Fatty Ge finally brought out the prized wine that Qin Fei had given him as the grand finale.

"As everyone knows, our Ge's Exchange has sold some fine vintage wines in the past two days. As the saying goes, people are divided into different classes, and wine is no exception. The last three items we are going to auction are three bottles of exceptional wines."

Without hesitation, Fatty Ge took out a bottle of spears.

Of course, it wouldn't do to just show the wine to people without letting them drink it, so Fatty Ge took out the bottle that Qin Fei had opened yesterday and opened the bottle cap in front of everyone.

The moment the bottle was opened, everyone present immediately smelled the pure and mellow aroma of the wine.

"What kind of wine is this?"

Why does it smell so good?

"Even I, someone who doesn't drink alcohol, couldn't resist trying it."

There were simply too many people present, and Fatty Ge couldn't possibly let everyone who participated in the auction go up and taste the wine. So all he could do was let everyone smell the aroma of the wine.

"For drinkers, fine wine is like a peerless beauty. I think everyone has already smelled the aroma, so I won't go into too much detail. Let's begin the bidding!"

"The starting bid for this bottle of wine is one thousand crystals!"

"Each bid increase must be no less than one hundred crystals."

As soon as Fatty Ge announced the starting bid for the bottle of wine, the crowd erupted in uproar.

"Holy crap, they dare to sell a bottle of wine for a thousand crystal stones? Why don't they just rob someone?"

"Yes, I just thought there was something wrong with my hearing."

"If a bottle of wine sells for a thousand, wouldn't drinking a few bottles of that wine bankrupt a person?"

“It’s crazy!”

Everyone was complaining that Fatty Ge was too greedy, but little did they know that someone had already raised their hand to make a bid.

"I'll offer two thousand crystals!"

The calm voice instantly silenced all conversations. Looking in the direction the voice came from, many people showed surprise, because the person making the bid was none other than Li Yan.

Everyone knows that people who like to drink are usually middle-aged or elderly people. Why would a young man like Li Yan be making this kind of film?

"I know, it seems that the old master of the Li family is going to have a big birthday celebration soon. I heard that he is a person who loves wine to death. As a junior, Li Yan must have bought this wine to show his respect to his old master, right?" At this moment, someone thought of the reason why Li Yan bought the wine and immediately said to everyone.

"Then let's not get involved in the competition, so as not to offend them."

Li Yan represents the entire Li family. Now that he is personally participating in the auction, if anyone else bids against him, wouldn't that be tantamount to directly going against him?

So when the price of two thousand was announced, the whole room fell silent.

As expected, the bottle of wine that was put up for auction was eventually won by Li Yan with a bid of two thousand crystals.

"Brother Qin, you won't blame me, will you?"

After obtaining the wine with two thousand crystals, Li Yan spoke meaningfully to Qin Fei.

Others may not know the origin of this wine, but Li Yan knows it perfectly well. He knows that the real owner is standing right next to him.

His original intention was to help Qin Fei raise the price, but he didn't expect that no one else dared to compete with him. If he had known this would happen, he should have asked for a higher price.

"Market competition, market buying and selling, what's so strange about that?" Qin Fei shook his head and said.

"One of the three bottles has already been sold. You all need to seize the opportunity for the next two. You should know that this kind of exquisite wine has extremely high collectible value. If you miss it today, there may never be anything like it again." Fatty Ge shouted on the auction stage at this moment.

"The bidding for the second bottle of wine is now starting!"
