Chapter 1238: Chapter 1238: The Sucker is Confirmed

The crowd was astonished for a moment, turning their heads towards the extraterritorial cultivator who had just auctioned off the "Flame Emperor’s Banquet Painting."

The cultivator couldn’t help but open the painting, and carefully searched it, indeed finding this object on a guest’s table.

He affirmed, "Yes, this bone flute belongs to one of the guests!"

The atmosphere became electric. Regardless of how powerful the ancient flute’s mana might be, it was an object from the ancient Royal Family, and definitely held extraordinary significance.

Perhaps, upon reaching Ghost Emperor City, this item could summon something.

The frenzied auction restarted, with bids skyrocketing straight from five million Spirit Stones, an amount not just any ordinary cultivator could bear.

Ji Wanyu anxiously asked Long Fei, "Shall we bid on it?"

Long Fei shook his head, "It’s a common item, no need to pay it any mind."

"Common?"

In Ji Wanyu’s eyes, if this item could appear in a guest’s painting, it must certainly be an extraordinary divine object.

Since Long Fei was not interested, she could only sit obediently.

The main issue was, she didn’t have money.

Although she was a princess, the Spirit Stones she had were just her monthly allowance from the Royal Family, and she was quite poor.

Out of the five auction items, everyone knew that the really impressive ones were all slated for later, so the high-level private boxes basically showed no interest in this item.

It was only the cultivators below who kept raising their bids, especially the extraterritorial cultivator who had purchased the banquet painting, extremely eager to acquire this item for thorough research.

He and other extraterritorial cultivators reached an agreement, saying they would share their research findings privately.

Extraterritorial cultivators stood by his side, and some even agreed to split the auction expenses evenly.

Thus, when the bone flute’s price surged to twenty million Spirit Stones, it was essentially locked down by the extraterritorial cultivators.

Yan Ruyu struck the Copper Hammer thrice, and with no more bids coming, the item eventually went to the extraterritorial cultivators.

After the waiter delivered the item on a tray, they gathered together and couldn’t wait to start their research.

Chu Feng shook his head and sighed, "A group of uncultured fellows, holding this ancient flute is of no use. Thinking back to when I, Chu Feng, used to mingle at night, I was beloved by all, causing flowers to bloom wherever I went, known as Thirteenth Master Xiao!"

Ji Wanyu asked in surprise, "Can you play the flute?"

Chu Feng smirked, "Of course, brother has many skills, let’s research together sometime."

"Sure!"

Ji Wanyu had no idea what he meant by that, and happily agreed.

"Get lost, can’t you be serious?"

Long Fei laughed and cursed speechlessly.

Chu Feng laughed heartily, quite complacently.

Ji Wanyu and Lin Shanshan were somewhat puzzled, not understanding what they were laughing at over a flute.

The third auction item was quickly brought up, and Yan Ruyu unveiled the red cloth to reveal something that looked like a flower pot.

She introduced to everyone, "We will now start the auction for the third collectible. This item, also obtained from the Ghost Emperor Palace, appears similar to our flower pots at first glance. After our research, we confirm it is indeed a flower pot designed for planting vegetation."

The crowd burst into laughter, "Isn’t that obvious."

"Anyone with eyes could tell it’s a flower pot, what else could it be, a chamber pot?"

"You can put this up for auction?"

"Does Divine Dragon Auction House have any good items at all?"

"What’s so special about this flower pot?"

Some of the wealthy attendees had high expectations for the auction items but did not expect a flower pot to be brought up.

In the room, aside from women, the men did not even bother to look.

Someone asked, "What’s so special about this flower pot? Is it a Magic Artifact?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head, "This item is not a Magic Artifact. It can’t be used in battle or thrown; it is meant for gardening."

"Come on."

"That’s just deceitful, right?"

"Are you deliberately wasting our time?"

"You dare to auction this off?"

A chorus of complaints erupted, people feeling as if they had been tricked.

Yan Ruyu tapped the copper hammer, and once the crowd quieted down, he introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, although this flowerpot looks ordinary, it is made of a special metal. This metal is neither copper scrap iron nor gold or steel; even our Elders have not been able to figure it out for the time being. Moreover, the soil inside is the legendary Five-Colored Clay, the essence of earth. It is rich in Earth Elemental Force, extremely beneficial for plant growth. Using this flowerpot to cultivate medicine can double the effectiveness of your efforts."

Someone immediately scoffed, "After all is said and done, isn’t it just for growing flowers?"

"Let the women bid on this thing!"

"Have you ever seen a big man growing flowers?"

"Does Divine Dragon Auction House even have any good items?"

"This thing is not even as good as the stuff sold at the roadside stalls outside!"

The crowd was noisy, all their attention focused on the Magical Treasures, who would care about this broken flowerpot?

Yan Ruyu ignored these comments and calmly continued, "I have introduced everything that needs to be mentioned. Now the bidding will start. The starting price for this flowerpot is ten million Spirit Stones, with a minimum increase of one million each time. Let’s begin the bidding."

The crowd below got even more agitated, cursing Divine Dragon Auction House as swindlers.

A broken flowerpot dares to be sold at such an exorbitant price.

Even the women who originally liked buying flowers swallowed their saliva and gave up the idea of bidding.

Damn, to spend ten million Spirit Stones on a flowerpot, saying it out loud would be enough to make people die of laughter.

As the auction started, no one made a bid for a long time.

It was at this moment that Long Fei raised the number plate in his hand.

Yan Ruyu’s eyes lit up; he stretched out his hand toward Long Fei with a hint of appreciation, "Does this gentleman want to make a bid?"

"Yes, add one million."

Long Fei nodded.

Yan Ruyu excitedly tapped the copper hammer, "Ten million and one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, does anyone else wish to bid?"

"Isn’t that Consort Prince?"

"The guy who spent ten thousand on a counterfeit Xuanyuan Sword!"

"The very image of a sucker?"

"Indeed, that’s Consort Prince’s style!"

"We are truly in awe!"

"A big man is actually spending so much Spirit Stones on a flowerpot!"

The crowd burst into laughter, their words filled with mockery and derision, treating Long Fei as the world’s biggest sucker.

Long Fei remained calm and composed.

Lin Shanshan was anxious, urgently asking, "Brother-in-law, why are you buying this? It’s just a broken flowerpot, isn’t it?"

Ji Wanyu was also curious, "Are you thinking of giving it to my sister? Isn’t this price a bit too high?"

"Vain!"

Long Fei straightened out their heads, urging them to calm down.

Chu Feng and the others laughed. They thought to themselves that this was their Brother Long’s style.

What others didn’t want, Long Fei insisted on having it, the mark of true genius.

Yan Ruyu kept hammering, but since no one offered a higher bid, no one wished to take over the title of being the biggest sucker.

After three hammer sounds, the flowerpot went to Long Fei.

Long Fei was interested in this flowerpot for a reason; the material on the outside seemed extraordinary.

As an Artifact Refining Master, he had never encountered such a metal substance before.

It looked very rough, like unrefined iron ore, not even as good as common crude raw iron.

But this metal, spiritual power could not penetrate through it, which means its internal density is sufficient.

If possible, it might be used to refine his own Magic Artifact.

In addition, Long Fei urgently needed the Five-Colored Soil inside this flowerpot.

The object he had picked up from Zhang Xiaosan’s stall wasn’t the counterfeit Xuanyuan Sword, but rather the walnut seed from the walnut bracelet.

This seed, resembling a peach pit, carried the breath of a True Dragon.

This breath was deeply hidden; without Dragon Blood in Long Fei’s body, he would not be able to detect this aura.

Long Fei wanted to try planting this peach pit to see what kind of strange plant it would produce.
