116: The author used his experience to deceive me! Kill two birds with one stone by offering 100,000

“Alright everyone, this is an auction house, so the auction is the main event!”

“Next up for auction is an item that cultivators who prefer spears and polearms should pay attention to!”

With just two sentences, the Beautiful Host pulled everyone’s attention back from Ye An.

After all, bidding for their preferred auction item was the most important thing to them!

And when Ye An heard the Beautiful Host’s words, he couldn’t help but feel nervous.

Clearly, the next item up for auction was likely the Soaring Dragon Art spear technique he cared about most!

Sure enough, the Beautiful Host quickly opened a box!

Inside, a cyan Jade Slip was prominently displayed!

The Beautiful Host didn’t waste words, smiling as she said,

“Everyone, listen carefully!”

“This auction item is an Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique, the Soaring Dragon Art!”

“It’s a spear-type Cultivation Technique, though it can also be used with polearms!”

“But it is most compatible with spears!”

“Without further ado, the starting bid is thirty thousand Spirit Stones, and each increment must not be less than one hundred Spirit Stones!”

“Now, everyone, place your bids!”

As the Beautiful Host’s voice fell.

Sure enough, people in the auction hall began to bid!

“I bid thirty thousand one hundred!”

“I bid thirty-one thousand!”

“Damn it, I bid thirty-two thousand!”

“I bid…”

Bids rose and fell, and although spears were not as widely used as swords and blades.

Fortunately, many cultivators came today, and some of them did use spears and polearms!

Ye An watched the price steadily climb, and his head ached.

However, he had read many novels in his previous life and knew it was best not to bid yet.

It was best to wait for the number of bidders to slowly decrease before making his move, to reduce competition.

Sure enough, about five minutes later.

The price had already been called up to fifty thousand Spirit Stones.

And at this moment, the number of bidders had significantly decreased.

After all, fifty thousand Spirit Stones could buy a decent Earth-Grade weapon.

For many cultivators, it was a huge sum!

Instead of buying a Cultivation Technique for fifty thousand Spirit Stones, they might as well work harder and switch to the Dao of the sword!

After all, fifty thousand Spirit Stones could buy an Earth-Grade sword!

Seeing that only two or three bidders remained, Ye Mier next to him couldn’t help but say,

“Aren’t you going to bid? If you don’t, someone else will buy it!”

Ye An smiled, then said,

“I bid sixty thousand Spirit Stones!”

As soon as these words left his mouth, it immediately caused an uproar.

After all, others were increasing by one hundred or one thousand, but Ye An immediately increased by ten thousand.

This surprised many people.

“Is this kid’s brain filled with water? He directly increased by ten thousand?”

“Isn’t that right? Sixty thousand Spirit Stones can buy both an Earth-Grade sword and a Cultivation Technique!”

“As expected of someone who knows Miss Jiang, his financial power is indeed beyond what we ordinary people can compare to!”

“That’s right!”

…Listening to the crowd’s discussions, Ye An merely smiled and said nothing.

This was all experience he had gained from reading novels in his previous life.

Suddenly raising the bid at this moment would surely deter those who still wanted to compete!

And secure the Soaring Dragon Art in one fell swoop!

Sure enough, as he bid, the other two competitors immediately gave up.

For a moment, no one actually bid!

However, Ye An quickly realized that this might not actually be due to his good timing.

But rather because of Jiang Yu!

He heard someone whispering,

“This kid knows Jiang Yu, could he be buying it for her?”

“It’s possible. It’s better not to offend him. If he’s really from the Jiang Family, then we’d also offend Jiang Yu!”

“Right, right, it’s just a spear-type Cultivation Technique. Forget it, it’s not worth it!”

Ye An felt helpless when he heard this, but fortunately, the outcome was good. As long as no one competed with him, he was content!

As for whether it was his novel-reading experience that worked, or because of Jiang Yu, none of that mattered anymore!

However, just when Ye An thought he had the Soaring Dragon Art in the bag.

Suddenly, someone else made a bid!

“I bid sixty-one thousand!”

After speaking, a bearded cultivator also looked at Ye An. He held a fiery red long spear in his hand, looking at Ye An with a triumphant expression!

As if saying, I’m determined to have this Soaring Dragon Art!

Ye An gritted his teeth and directly shouted!

“Seventy thousand!”

“Seventy thousand? Damn it! He’s gone mad, mad!”

“Are you seriously buying a broken Earth-Grade Cultivation Technique for seventy thousand Spirit Stones?”

“I’m just asking, can’t you switch to the Dao of the sword? Is the Dao of the spear absolutely necessary?”

Everyone discussed animatedly.

However, that bearded cultivator seemed to be at odds with Ye An, and actually followed up with,

“Seventy-one thousand!”

Ye An also got angry this time, cursing in his heart.

“Damn it, why isn’t this following the script!”

“Are you still bidding at this price?”

Although he was angry, Ye An was also determined to follow the Dao of the spear, so he naturally wouldn’t switch to the Dao of the sword because of Spirit Stones.

So he gritted his teeth and shouted,

“Eighty thousand!”

“If you have the guts, follow again!”

Ye An was truly going all out.

However, he also knew that others had chosen to give up because they didn’t want to offend Jiang Yu.

But this bearded cultivator was clearly like him, truly wanting this Soaring Dragon Art.

So if he really had the means, he would probably follow.

Therefore, Ye An could only bet his entire fortune.

After all, who would have thought that this script would be different from what he read in novels in his previous life!

Ye An also cursed in his heart!

“Those dog-faced authors from my previous life, they really just wrote nonsense to fool me. Why don’t I ever encounter those competitors who are scared away?”

“Instead, I’ve met such a hothead!”

And just as Ye An was betting his entire fortune and waiting for the result, the bearded cultivator indeed cast an angry glare.

As if saying, I’m just short of this much!

Seeing this, Ye An finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking,

“This time, it’s finally secure!”

However, before he had fully exhaled, a voice suddenly came from the second floor!

“I bid! One hundred thousand!”

This shout immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

Even Ye An couldn’t help but look over.

Although he couldn’t see who the bidder was, listening to the voice and arrogant tone, Ye An knew!

The bidder was definitely Xu Chuang!

Ye Mier also sighed helplessly and said,

“It’s over now. One hundred thousand is nothing to Young Master Xu!”

“He’s clearly coming for you!”

“He’s not giving Jiang Yu any Face at all!”

Ye An also sighed helplessly; he had no other choice.

After all, eighty thousand was already his entire fortune!

And at this moment, Ye An finally understood what a dimensionality reduction attack felt like!

With Young Master Xu’s bid, the Soaring Dragon Art indeed had nothing to do with him anymore!

Thinking of this, Ye An couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

“This Xu Chuang is really a mad dog!”

“It’s just that Jianglan City is a small place, otherwise, someone like him would eventually hit a brick wall!”

…At this moment, in a private room on the second floor.

Xu Chuang was triumphantly playing with the beauty in his arms, laughing as he played.

“Contend with me! Do they even qualify!”

“Let alone this Ye An, I don’t even put the Jiang Family in my eyes!”

“Didn’t Jiang Yu send a maid to support that kid!”

“Today, I’m specifically not giving her any Face!”

“I want to see if her Jiang Family dares to follow!”

His subordinate next to him also laughed and said,

“Young Master is brilliant, this move is truly killing two birds with one stone!”

“If the Jiang Family doesn’t follow, then the maid appearing earlier to support Ye An will become a joke!”

“But if they do follow, then the Jiang Family’s budget for the upcoming Earth-Grade Spiritual Root competition will definitely be reduced!”

Xu Chuang was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself.

“Did I mean that?”

“But this kid’s analysis seems to be true!”

Thinking of this, Xu Chuang quickly laughed and said,

“You saw through all of that!”

“You deserve a reward!”
