Chapter 309: Chapter 304: Playing Naughty Again [Third Update]

When Yan Rufeng saw the elder holding the high-priced piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron with a smug smile on his face, Yan Rufeng screamed in his heart.

"Damn, five billion top-grade spiritual stones for a piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron, this is insane! Tomorrow, I’m taking my cosmic battleship to the outer realm and seizing all the Outer Realm Ice Iron from the Mortal Domain..."

Xiao Fei noticed Yan Rufeng’s changing expression and smiled.

"Brother Yan, what’s wrong?"

Yan Rufeng shook his head and said, "These people have too many spirit stones; it’s just a piece of Outer Realm Ice Iron, yet it fetched such a high price."

"Hehe!"

Xiao Fei chuckled and said, "Brother Yan, I’ve told you before, in Dragon Origin Star, anything related to pseudo-immortal artifacts is rare in the world and commands a high price."

Yan Rufeng frowned and thought, "It seems there must be someone deliberately manipulating things behind the scenes. Otherwise, the rarity of materials needed to craft pseudo-immortal artifacts wouldn’t be this high..."

The auction continued, and the final prices of various items stunned Yan Rufeng. As a once mighty Immortal Venerable, he’d seen his share of grand occasions, but even he was shocked now. The prices at Dragon Origin Trading House were indeed astronomical.

The more extravagantly and crazily the people of Dragon Origin Star behaved, the more disgusted Yan Rufeng felt. In his opinion, those spirit stones in their hands were plundered from various cultivation planets through unjust means.

This only made Yan Rufeng more determined to quickly unify Dragon Origin Star and give everyone on the cultivation planets in the Mortal Domain a fair chance to compete with the Heavenly Dao.

As the auction at Dragon Origin Trading House drew to a close, the next item brought out left Yan Rufeng stunned.

"What the heck!"

"Isn’t this the hairpin I just crafted today? How did it end up here?"

However, in an instant, Yan Rufeng composed himself, smiled, and thought, "No matter how this hairpin ended up here for auction, a top-grade spiritual artifact with three attributes for both attack and defense, I’d like to see how many spirit stones it fetches..."

The auction site of Dragon Origin Trading House fell silent, and everyone stared at the brightly colored hairpin displayed on the crystal screen.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted toward the stage, "Little Yu, what’s going on? Are you auctioning off a hairpin just like last time, messing with us again?"

Another person shouted, "Yu Qi, you’re being playful again. Is that hairpin something you don’t want and decided to auction off?"

"Hehe!"

Someone coldly laughed, "This is ridiculous. I came to your Dragon Origin Trading House auction, and you’re auctioning a hairpin meant for women. Yu Qi, what’s in your mind?"

"Yu Qi!"

Someone in the crowd angrily roared.

"Come out and give me a satisfactory explanation, or I’ll have you refund my entry fee!"

"Yeah, refund us..."

...

"Shut up!!"

A dominant voice emerged from the crowd.

"What are you shouting about? It’s just a hairpin. If you don’t want to bid, no one’s forcing you. If you scare my Yu, I’ll chop you all up and feed you to the dogs!"

"Oh, damn!"

Someone stood up, yelling angrily, "Daoist, what do you mean ’your Yu’? If you say that, I’ll really get pissed off."

"Hehe!"

The man coldly laughed.

"Get pissed off, then. When it comes to fighting, I haven’t been afraid of anyone!"

"You..."

On stage, Yu Qi raised her hand and shouted loudly, "Quiet, everyone, quiet!"

Though the crowd kept arguing, they knew this was the Dragon Origin Trading House auction site, and no one dared to cause trouble. As soon as Yu Qi’s voice fell, the scene returned to silence.

On stage, Yu Qi smiled charmingly, "Distinguished guests, I believe there’s a misunderstanding about this hairpin. Once I finish explaining, I think you’ll have a new perspective on this top-grade spiritual artifact."

"What?"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"Yu Qi, are you saying this flashy hairpin is a top-grade spiritual artifact, second only to a low-grade pseudo-immortal artifact?"

Yu Qi smiled charmingly, "Daoist, this hairpin is indeed an authentic top-grade spiritual artifact with three attributes for attack and defense!"

"Impossible!"

Someone in the crowd roared with fury.

"Yu Qi, stop fooling people around. It’s just a hairpin. How could it have three attribute attacks?"

"Hehe!"

Someone coldly laughed, "Daoist, you’re quite uninformed, it seems. Items with three attributes are rare, but not nonexistent. However, it depends on which three attributes they are!"

Yu Qi kept her smile and softly said, "This distinguished guest’s analysis is correct. The hairpin we are auctioning now has three attributes: ice, fire, and gold."

"My God!"

At once, the auction site was in an uproar.

An elder stood up and slowly said, "Little Yu, are you sure about this?"

Yu Qi smiled faintly and softly replied, "Dear old man, since I became the host of Dragon Origin Trading House’s auction, I’ve never made a mistake, so you don’t need to worry!"

"Hmph!"

The elder snorted coldly.

"But this time, you’re likely mistaken. As everyone knows, ice and fire don’t mix, let alone a hairpin with an additional gold attribute, as fire subdues gold. Who in the world could craft such a top-grade spiritual artifact that defies the Five Elements theory?"

Yu Qi smiled gracefully and softly said, "Dear guests, everything that needed to be said has been said. If anyone still doesn’t believe it, you are welcome to come up and give it a try!"

As soon as Yu Qi finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "Miss Yu Qi, may I try it out?"

Yu Qi nodded and smiled slightly, "Please, come up, little brother..."

On stage, three cultivators with ice, fire, and gold attributes were already prepared. As they each tested the hairpin, the golden glow intensified, and under the profound yellow aura, everyone at the auction felt as if they were in an environment of ice and fire.

After the experiment, everyone on site gasped, astonished.

"Oh my God!"

"This is insane, unbelievable. There’s actually someone who can craft a spiritual artifact with conflicting attributes."

"Wow."

"Impressive, this hairpin is indeed a top-grade spiritual artifact. Its power is no less than a low-grade pseudo-immortal artifact."

"Hehehe!"

Someone laughed loudly and called out, "This auction was definitely worth attending. Yu Qi, what’s the starting bid for that hairpin?"

Yu Qi waved her hand to silence the crowd.

"Wow!"

However, someone in the crowd stood up and shouted, "What’s the starting bid? I’m an ice attribute, and I’m buying that hairpin directly!"

"Hehe!"

Someone laughed, "Young man, you think too highly of yourself. This is an auction site; dreaming of directly buying a top-grade spiritual artifact? Maybe in your next life..."

Yu Qi helplessly shook her head upon hearing this.
