Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2499 Sky-high Price

Li Yan's voice was calm, yet firm and resolute.

What was originally an ordinary slave auction turned into an unprecedentedly heated atmosphere due to their sudden bidding war.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Upon hearing Li Yan's offer, Liu Wen merely glanced at him dismissively before adding another 50,000 without hesitation.

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless, including the Blackwater Gate representative on the auction stage.

He had probably never encountered anything like this in his entire auction career, so for a moment his reaction was similar to that of the people below him—utterly dumbfounded.

Auctioneers usually need to liven up the atmosphere to drive up the price of the items, but now he doesn't need to do anything at all; the auction price just keeps rising on its own.

Such a situation is truly rare.

“150,100,” Li Yan said calmly.

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand one hundred." Li Yan's voice remained calm and composed.

It was as if what came out of his mouth wasn't a crystal, but a string of numbers.

"three……."

“Young master, we only brought 300,000 crystals with us this time. If you spend them all here, we may not be able to explain ourselves.”

Just as Liu Wen was about to continue arguing and competing with Li Yan, his protector suddenly whispered something.

Keep in mind that even if some sects sold all their possessions, they still couldn't raise 300,000; this is already an astronomical figure.

"Am I really going to lose to him like this?" Upon hearing this, Liu Wen waved his hand, and in an instant, an array enveloped him and his protector, so that their conversation inside would be impossible to hear from outside.

“Young Master, acting rashly is useless. Even if that slave is useful to them, it's not worth spending so many crystals to buy him. Besides, we're not without any gains. At the very least, the Li family will need to spend a huge amount of crystals to buy the slave. In that case, Li Yan will still have no way to explain to the upper echelons of the Li family,” said Li Wen’s protector.

"call……."

Upon hearing this, Liu Wen was genuinely furious, but faced with the facts, he had no choice but to back down.

He can keep adding crystals, but if he can't produce the crystals he mentioned later, he'll probably become a laughing stock in everyone's eyes.

Thinking of this, he immediately removed the array that was enveloping him and said, "Since your Li family likes this slave so much, then I will give it to you today. But there is a rule in auctions: money must be exchanged for goods. I am now quite doubtful whether your Li family can actually come up with so many crystals."

"Don't worry, since I dare to offer such a price, I naturally have the confidence to provide the crystals. You don't need to worry about that."

At this point, Li Yan turned his gaze directly to the person in charge on the auction platform and said, "Now there's no one left to compete with me. Bring the person over here."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the Blackwater Gate leader did not hesitate and immediately ordered his men to carry Zhen Tian to Li Yan and Qin Fei.

"Young Master Li, the total is 250,100 crystal stones," the Blackwater Gate representative said to Li Yan.

"take it."

Li Yan didn't renege on his debt and threw out three spatial rings at once.

"Check it yourself," Li Yan said.

"There's no need for inspection. I trust Young Master Li's character," said the Blackwater Gate leader.

"Hehe, you believe me, but I'm afraid some people won't." Li Yan said meaningfully in the direction of Liu Wen.

……

"Brother Li, consider these crystals as something I owe you. I will definitely find a way to repay you later," Qin Fei said solemnly to Li Yan.

"We'll talk about the crystals later. You should check on your friend's situation first."

"Row!"

Zhen Tian's injuries were severe; in some places, his flesh was torn and bleeding. If he weren't being supported, he probably wouldn't be able to stand up.

It's truly pitiful that a cultivator was beaten to this state.

"Qin Fei, thank you."

Qin Fei took Zhen Tian from the two Blackwater Sect disciples, and then he heard a faint sound coming from their mouths.

"Let's talk about these things when we get back. First, take these pills." Qin Fei took out a handful of pills from his spatial ring and stuffed them all into Zhen Tian's mouth.

After giving him the pill, Qin Fei did not hesitate and began to use his internal energy to heal him.

The purchase of a slave for 250,000 crystals was destined to become a hot topic, but now everyone had to continue participating in subsequent slave auctions, so soon no one paid attention to them anymore.

Under Qin Fei's treatment, Zhen Tian's injuries quickly stabilized, and his complexion gradually returned to a rosy hue.

"Next, we will be auctioning off a female cultivator, the one everyone has been eagerly anticipating." Just then, another person was brought up to the auction stage.

The moment Qin Fei saw the other person, his emotions were stirred once again.

Because the female cultivator being auctioned off was actually that little fox from before!

This little fox has also fallen into the hands of the Blackwater Gate.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a fox spirit, right?"

Just then, someone with sharp eyes recognized the little fox's true form and immediately spoke up.

"The fox clan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately began to discuss it.

"Haven't the fox clan always been hiding deep in the mountains?"

"How did they get here via the teleportation array?"

Everyone looked at each other, finding it all a bit unbelievable.

You can understand humans coming here via teleportation array, but now even foxes are coming along. Are the people guarding the teleportation array just sitting around doing nothing?

"Because there are relatively few female cultivators, and based on the principle that scarcity increases value, the starting bid is now five hundred crystals." The person in charge of the Blackwater Sect didn't care what everyone was talking about.

He stood on the stage and immediately began hawking his wares.

Women have always been objects of men's pursuit, not to mention that the little fox herself is extremely beautiful.

Even though she may be suffering some torment now, it cannot hide her delicate features. Her pitiful appearance touches the hearts of many, and a protective instinct arises involuntarily in their minds.

Of course, this is a slave auction. Once they win the bid for this little fox, they can do whatever they want with it.

Therefore, 500 crystals are definitely not enough to buy the little fox.

"I will offer eight hundred crystals." This was the first bid from an elderly man with white hair.

"Pah! You shameless old man! You're so old and you're still interested in female cultivators? Don't you know any shame?" someone shouted.

"Do I have to report to you that I bid for my junior?" The old man was not one to mince words, and he immediately retorted.

"Stop arguing! Since it's an auction, the highest bidder wins. I'll bid one thousand!"

"Shameless! I'll offer 1300!"
