Chapter 5831: Laying a Trap

200 million sycees? Why did the price suddenly hike so much? How in the world is that item worth 200 million?

It was such a ridiculous bid that everyones mind went blank for a brief moment. This exceeded a reasonable price for the G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slip.

However, someone quickly realized that something was amiss.

That voice... Its the mysterious individual who resonated with the Junior Blessing Formation!

He repaired the formation bead within a short time when even the Martial Cultivator Commerce Guild was at a loss as to what to do, which shows how sharp his eyes are. Does he think theres a real G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slip inside that fragment?

That would explain his high bid.

Chu Feng was indeed the one who bid 200 million. He had altered his voice, but he used the same altered voice throughout the auction, so others recognized him.

Those who recognized his voice felt tempted to join the bid, but the price was too high and they didnt have the financial power to compete.

Lord Saint-tier elder.

The Seven Realms Sacred Mansions elders looked at their Jie Yefeng. Since they were able to arrive at this conclusion, Jie Yefeng was bound to have figured as much too.

However, Jie Yefeng shook his head and said, We wont pay anything more than 100 million sycees.

The other elders dared not say anything upon seeing how adamant he was on this matter. They were just lackeys here; Jie Yefeng was the one who called the shots.

250 million!! the young man bidded.

250 million? Isnt he too wealthy? Is he certain theres a G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slip inside there too?

Seeing how determined the young man was, the crowd was starting to become convinced of this fact.

300 million, Chu Feng said.

The young man didnt hike up the price right away.

Is there anyone who would like to bid? If not, well be auctioning off this G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slips fragment for 300 million sycees. 3... 2...

As the beautiful elder began counting down, the young man spoke up, 301 million.

Chu Fengs lips crept into a smile.

Brother Chu Feng, why arent you bidding anymore? Go ahead and bid whatever you like. Ill cover whatever youre lacking. You can take the G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slip with you, Xianhai Shaoyu quickly spoke up.

He thought Chu Feng had stopped bidding because he didnt have enough money.

Brother Shaoyu, just how rich does one have to be to spend 300 million sycees to buy an ordinary bamboo slip? Chu Feng asked.

An ordinary bamboo slip? Y-youre saying whats inside the fragment is just an ordinary bamboo slip? Xianhai Shaoyu was taken aback.

Even Little Fishys eyes were widened. Big brother, you can tell?

I think the second legend is more accurate. The G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slips fragments are created to dupe others, and the one behind it is the World Spiritist Emperor, Chu Feng said.

World Spiritist Emperor? The strongest world spiritist in the Ancient Era?

Xianhai Shaoyu and Little Fishy had heard about the World Spiritist Emperor Qin Jiu.

Yes. I stumbled upon his legacy by a stroke of coincidence, so Im familiar with his means. The G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slips fragments look to be his doing. Furthermore, I have the real G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slip with me, so I can tell whats inside the fragment is just an ordinary bamboo slip, Chu Feng said.

So... you intentionally bid up the price. Youre just trying to screw that fellow over. Xianhai Shaoyu finally understood what was going on.

Chu Feng responded with a smile.

Brother Chu Feng, youre a bad person, but I like it! Xianhai Shaoyu revealed an evil smile.

Good job! Those people need to be punished! Big brother, youre incredible! Little Fishy happily complimented Chu Feng, but she quickly turned to Xianhai Shaoyu and said, Why are you smiling like that? You look lecherous.

Its not your first day knowing me. Cant I reveal my true self before you and Brother Chu Feng? Xiaohai Shaoyu grumbled.

Of course you can, Chu Feng replied.

Little Fishy quickly pulled Chu Feng away from Xianhai Shaoyu.

Big brother, you need to be careful of my brother. Hes a pervert. He watches plenty of... terrible stuff, Little Fishy said.

I know, Chu Feng replied.

... Little Fishy was rendered speechless.

Xianhai Shaoyu was the one who broke the silence. Do you think they have already reached their limit and cant bid any higher?

Indeed. Well be s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g ourselves over if we continue bidding, Chu Feng replied.

Youre truly a terrifying one. Xianhai Shaoyus evil became even more evil.

The G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slips fragment was the centerpiece of the auction, so it was the last item to be presented. Once it was sold, the auction concluded.

The door of Chu Fengs compartment suddenly opened, and the beautiful elder walked in. Milord, our managing elder invites you over.

Is there a problem? Chu Feng asked.

Its regarding the Junior Blessing Formation, the beautiful elder replied.

Ill be troubling you to lead the way. Chu Feng and the others followed the beautiful elder out.

The other guests were also leaving their respective compartments to exit the venue. Coincidentally, the ones closest to Chu Feng were world spiritists dressed in rucksack-like world spiritist cloaks. It was the young mans group.

You were the one who competed with me earlier, right? Why did you stop bidding? No more money? Why bother competing with me if thats all you have? the young man sneered upon seeing Chu Feng.

He was harboring a grudge for what happened earlier, so he was using this opportunity to mock Chu Feng.

A few people in the crowd noticed their conflict and lingered around. Even people of high standing were interested in such commotions.

Im indeed not as rich as you. I wouldnt spend 301 million sycees just to buy an ordinary bamboo slip, Chu Feng replied.

An uproar broke out in the crowd. An ordinary bamboo slip?

Am I hearing things? Is he saying that the fragment contains an ordinary bamboo slip?

More and more people crowded around upon hearing those words. Those who had left rushed back into the venue. Even those from the Seven Realms Sacred Mansion watched the situation from afar.

The young man would be truly pitiful if the fragment contained an ordinary bamboo slip.

Chu Feng turned to the beautiful elder and asked, Elder, items that have been auctioned off cant be refunded, right?

Indeed, the beautiful elder replied.

Thats good to hear. Chu Feng smiled.

The young man angrily roared at Chu Feng, What a joke! Just because you say the fragment contains an ordinary bamboo slip doesnt mean thats the case. Do you think you possess special eyes that can see what others cant?

Open it then. Youll get your answer, Chu Feng said.

Fine, Ill open it.

The young man took out the G.o.d Bestowment Bamboo Slips fragment from its box and began constructing a removal formation. Soon, the special layer enveloping the fragment started to dissipate, revealing its true form.

The young man and his companions froze up. What was inside the fragment was truly just a normal bamboo slip. There was nothing special about it other than the fact that it was from the Ancient Era.
