Chapter Eighty-Three: Fighting for Wealth

  The iron plate was no larger than a palm, with rust spots all over it. On the front of the iron plate was engraved a complex symbol that Mo Feng was very familiar with.

  When the iron plate appeared, Mu Feng clearly felt a thread of scorching heat emanating from the pattern in his palm.

  "Is it?" Murong was shocked, he swept a glance at the iron plate lying quietly in the Void Stone, and did not expect that on this continent there would be another iron plate extremely similar to the one in his hand.

  "What's this thing for?" someone shouted in the auction hall.

  "We don't know either." Yao Ligang smiled awkwardly.

  "Shh!"

  A murmur of whispers spread through the auction hall, no one had expected such a large-scale auction, and yet the first item to be auctioned off was an iron plaque that even the auctioneer didn't know what it was.

  "Everyone listen to me, this iron plaque has been identified by Master Xie as a relic from ancient times, its existence is extremely long-standing. Although the specific purpose is not very clear, it should have an extraordinary place. The starting price is 1.5 million yuan, and each bid increase must be at least 100,000 yuan." Yao Li hastily said.

  "Boom!"

  The auction hall suddenly burst like a pot, and the voices of discussion came out one after another.

  "Nibu Ge is crazy about money, this small unknown iron piece actually costs 150,000 yuan."

  "You can't say that, you didn't hear, this is a treasure that has been appraised by Master Xie, although I don't know what it's used for, but who knows, maybe after buying it back, it might turn out to be a real treasure?"

  "Never mind, 1.5 million Spirit Coins can buy ten stalks of third-grade Spiritual Medicine."

  ……

  "Mufeng whispered to Muhanching, 'Can you take down this iron plaque? I have a use for it.'"

  Mo Feng gazed at the iron plaque, his face filled with longing. However, he couldn't afford to take out 1.5 million yuan now, let alone bid for it, so he could only seek help from Mo Hanqing.

  "What do you want this iron plaque for?" Mu Hanqing was somewhat puzzled and also curious.

  "There's nothing, it's just that my intuition tells me that this iron plaque is somewhat different from the others." Mu Feng wouldn't tell her about the symbol, so he could only casually make up an excuse.

  "Alright." Mu Han Qing nodded, after all, 1.5 million yuan was just some pocket money for her, thanks to having a wealthy grandfather.

  "One and a half million Xuan coins!" Just as Mu Han Qing and Mu Feng were whispering to each other, someone had already made an offer. The bidder was a middle-aged man in the hall, who also looked like he was spending money to take a gamble, trying his luck to see if he could get a treasure.

  "Alright, 150,000 Xuan coins. Is anyone going to raise the price?" Yao Li let out a sigh of relief when he saw someone make an offer. Initially, he didn't agree with putting the Iron Token as the first item, but for some reason, Master Xie Shi insisted on doing so.

  It would be embarrassing if no one bids. If the news gets out that the first item at the auction went unsold, it would be a huge loss of face.

  "1.6 million yuan!"

  "1.7 million yuan!"

  ……

  Seeing someone actually paying, others seemed to be infected and shouted out prices. Tens of millions of yuan, for the vast majority of them, is nothing, after all, those who can pay an entrance fee of 10,000 yuan are either rich or noble, and don't care about these tens of millions of yuan.

  The person who once said that he would rather buy ten stalks of three-product spiritual medicine than buy an iron signboard also called out a price of 1.8 million yuan, but this price was raised to 2 million yuan by someone else in the next second.

  "2.5 million Xuanyuan coins!" A melodious voice like a gentle brook flowed through the entire venue, and everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound, only to find that it was a lovely young girl from the VIP seat who had called out this price, and that girl was none other than Mu Hanqing, who had been stirred up by Mu Feng to slap down the iron plate.

  "What are you making a fuss about, Han Qing?" Mu Chengde looked at Mu Hanqing and asked in a low voice.

  "Uncle De, take a photo for fun, it's not expensive anyway." Mu Hanqing used her killer move on Mu Chengde again.

  Mu Chengde felt a bit helpless, but fortunately, the price wasn't too expensive, so he just went along with it.

  As soon as the Mu family made a move, no one in the hall dared to raise the price again. No one needed to offend the Mu family for a broken iron plaque.

  "Twenty-five million spirit coins, is there anyone else?" Yao Li asked, he was already quite satisfied with this price. A piece of iron plate like this could be auctioned off for twenty-five million spirit coins, which was pretty good.

  "Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan, for the first time."

  "Two hundred and fifty thousand yuan, for the second time."

  "2.6 million yuan!"

  Just as Yao Li was about to call out a deal, another voice sounded.

  Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found it was Zheng Jian from Mingyuetang.

  Mu Feng also looked towards Zheng Jian with a hint of chill in his eyes. Just as he was about to get the iron plaque, Zheng Jian suddenly intervened.

  Zheng Jian also looked at Mu Feng and Mu Hanqing, a playful smile floating on his face. He saw that Mu Hanqing and Mu Feng had been whispering to each other for half a day, so he wanted to add some trouble to the two of them. Looking at this situation, it was clear that this goal had been achieved.

  Song Ping was also delighted. He didn't think Mu Feng was very pleasing to the eye, and he had wanted to call out to him and make him feel uncomfortable. However, since Qing Lang Bang was still in Mu City and needed to rely on the Mu family clan, Song Ping didn't have the guts to do so. Now that Zheng Jian had come out to stir up trouble for Mu Feng, he felt even more delighted.

  Zheng Jian didn't have Song Ping's worries, with Fengyun Sect backing him up, he also had no fear of the Mu Clan.

  Mu Chengde's face looked a bit unsightly, although this was just a young junior's bidding competition, but it also represented the actions of two major forces. Zheng Jian's move was a slap in the face to the Mu clan.

  "Two million seven hundred thousand Xuanyuan coins!" Mu Han Qing didn't show any weakness and immediately called out an even higher price.

  "Two hundred and eighty thousand yuan!" Zheng Jian followed up.

  "Three million yuan!"

  "Three hundred and fifty thousand yuan!"

  ……

  The people present couldn't help but laugh and cry, indeed worthy of the four major powers, each one being wealthy and arrogant. The younger generations of the two families actually called out a price of tens of millions of yuan for this broken iron plaque. What is meant by "spending money like dirt" is probably referring to this kind of situation.

  "One million yuan!" Zheng Jian suddenly raised the price to a rather frightening height.

  "What are they doing? Is this iron plaque really a treasure?"

  "It doesn't seem like it, but I feel like they're competing with each other in wealth."

  "As expected, he's got a lot of money and is very arrogant!"

  ……

  The people in the hall looked at Zheng Jian and Mu Hanqing, whispering to each other.

  Yao Li's face broke out in a brilliant smile, he hadn't expected the first item to be auctioned off for as high as 10 million yuan. This fiery scene was exactly what he had hoped to see.

  However, he also believed that Zheng Jian and Mu Hanqing were completely fighting for wealth, because this iron plaque was not worth 1 million yuan in everyone's eyes.

  Mu Hanqing didn't expect that Zheng Jian would actually bid a price of one million Xuan coins, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and she turned to glance at Mu Chengde, who was looking back at her with a calm expression, nodding slightly in her direction.

  With Mu Chengde's support, Mu Hansheng also had a full breath and reported a shocking price that stunned the whole scene.

  "Two million yuan!"

  "Boom!"

  The whole scene was first silent, then suddenly burst into a noisy sound like a swarm of headless flies, and everyone's face showed a hint of excitement.

  Who would have thought that as soon as it started, they would encounter such a fiery scene, and the atmosphere of the auction house was also thoroughly mobilized.
