Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Previously, No. 999 had easily overpowered Ye Chen.

They only offered to lower the price by 10 yuan, how arrogant!

He exudes the domineering aura of a bachelor.

Now, with Ye Chen's screen being refreshed so quickly, he felt a tightness in his throat!

It would have been better if the auctioneer, Sasha, hadn't called out any bids, but instead, all the bids were for bidder number 998, which made him even more upset.

He felt his sense of self-worth was being significantly diminished.

I tried to show off, but failed.

I bet everyone's laughing at him now!

Number 999 stopped being sarcastic and took out his bidding tablet, entering 1700 million!

However, the 1700 million on the public screen disappeared in an instant, and it was immediately replaced by bid of 1710 million from bidder number 998!

"Bidder number 999 has placed a bid...bidder number 998 has placed a bid of 1710 million!" Auctioneer Sasha could only announce the latest bids.

She said she tried her best to see bid number 999, but it was immediately rejected. She can't be blamed for that, right?

"Damn it, I'll offer 1800 million. Go ahead and keep bidding if you dare. If you don't, you're my grandson!" Number 999 was really angry this time and couldn't help but curse.

He spoke quite loudly; not only Ye Chen, but even those slightly ahead of him heard him.

As a result, the bidding information for number 999 in his public chat still flashed by, and was replaced by number 998's bid of 1810 million!

"VIP number 999...998 has bid 1810 million!" Auctioneer Sasha is now slowly starting to control her emotions.

She wasn't as excited about the offer as before; she was genuinely afraid the two of them would fight.

"Damn it—" Number 999 cursed and entered 1900 million again without hesitation.

But without exception, his bidding information still disappeared in a flash!

In terms of hand speed, who among us can rival Ye Chen, a cultivator who has been single for over 20 years?

"VIP number 998 has bid 1910 million!" Sasha said with a smile.

Although she was overjoyed, she had to control herself and not laugh out loud!

If she laughed out loud, number 999 would probably rush up and beat her up!

The starting bid was 100 million, and now it's already 1910 million, far exceeding the estimated price. Hahaha, how much commission must that be? She can't even keep up with the calculations!

Young Master No. 999 immediately stood up and typed a string of numbers into the tablet!

"I'm making this one last bid. Think it over before you bid, or you might end up winning the bid!" He said this through gritted teeth in a low voice, facing Ye Chen.

It's utterly threatening!

His threatening behavior is definitely against the rules, and the auction house will not allow such a thing to happen.

At best, a warning; at worst, expulsion from the auction.

However, Young Master No. 999 is clearly a big spender, and the auction house usually won't directly expel him; at most, they'll give him a light, insignificant warning.

So Ye Chen ignored him and didn't bother to report him.

What's the point of just kicking him out? It would only make it seem like we're afraid of him.

Who are you trying to scare!

Would a cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining be afraid of his threats?

When I tried to play mind games with him, he didn't take the bait.

Now that we're really competing with him in terms of strength, he's resorting to psychological tactics instead?

The bidding information for bidder number 999 on the public screen flashed by in an instant, and was replaced by the bid information for bidder number 998, which was 2010 million!

Ye Chen glanced at the numbers on the public screen and felt a pang of pain; wow, it had broken 2000 million.

Ye Chen hesitated. If this young master persisted, he would at most play a few more rounds with him.

This is way beyond expectations. There are still some mystery items up for auction; who knows, maybe one of them will be what he wants.

We can't afford to spend all the money now!

Fortunately, Young Master No. 999 did not intend to continue wasting time with Ye Chen.

He laughed in exasperation: "Fine, fine, you've got guts! I admire you!"

He gritted his teeth, gave a sarcastic remark, and sat back down in his seat!

This price is already beyond his budget, so it's impossible for him to make another offer.

Since that's the case, don't blame him for being ruthless once you leave the auction venue!

You don't necessarily have to go through an auction to get something; he can just pick it up!

Young Master No. 999 immediately took out his phone and started sending messages.

Sasha bid three times on the auction stage, but no one raised the price again. Ye Chen successfully won the bid for this century-old wild ginseng!

Ye Chen wasn't happy at all. Something that could have been auctioned for around 1000 million had now cost 2000 million. How could he be happy?

He could only console himself that money is just an external thing.

He glanced in the direction of Young Master No. 999 and sneered. This guy must hate him now.

They might even target him!

Perfect! If he dares to come, Ye Chen wouldn't mind venting his anger!

Ye Chen had no interest in the next few items auctioned.

The bidding has been going on for so long, it's good to take a break!

When the 80th item was brought out, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

This is a plant that is entirely blue, and its shape resembles a snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, but the color doesn't match.

No wonder they said it mutated; could it have been dyed?

However, the starting bid for this mutated Tianshan snow lotus is only 5. What more could you ask for at 5? Ye Chen thought it was worth the bid to study it!

I don't know if it's because the price is relatively low, but there aren't many bidders. It's as if everyone looks down on such cheap goods.

However, this was exactly what Ye Chen wanted to do.

Someone initially made a bid, but gave up after seeing Ye Chen match the price.

Number 998 is so glaring.

Perhaps this left an impression on people: No. 998 doesn't easily let go of what he sets his sights on. He's someone who can buy a wild ginseng for over 2000 million, so his strength shouldn't be underestimated.

Everyone vividly remembers the bidding between 998 and 999, and Ye Chen earned his "fearsome reputation" solely through his lightning-fast hand speed.

Although it was number 999 who provoked first, number 998's counterattack was truly terrifying and flawless.

If they were number 999, being suppressed like this would be absolutely unbearable.

Since the other party wants this Tianshan snow lotus, let's just grant their wish. In the end, they probably won't be able to compete with it anyway.

You might even do them a favor, so why not?

I guess that's what the person who started the bidding thought.

Therefore, Ye Chen ultimately won the bid for a mutated Tianshan snow lotus for 52000 yuan.

Ye Chen got lucky this time.

The following items ranged in price, but all were over a million.

Although Ye Chen was also itching to do it, he resisted the urge.

The closer you get to the final moment, the more you need to stay calm and only film the right shots!

Finally, we arrived at lot number 85, a vajra used by a high-ranking monk.

"Distinguished guests, the next item in this auction is a rare and consecrated ritual implement, a vajra that a highly respected monk has used for many years. It is in excellent condition and can be placed in your home as both a protective charm and a decorative piece!"

"Starting bid: 50. Minimum bid increment: 1. Bidding begins now!"

Sasha smiled and looked around the room.

The bidding for the vajra was even more intense than Ye Chen had imagined.

As soon as Sasha finished speaking, the price skyrocketed to a million.

I don't know if it's because this thing was used by a high-ranking monk.

The phrase "to ward off evil spirits" probably provoked everyone!

Even Ye Chen's neighbor, Young Master No. 999, has made a move again!
