Versatile Sword Cultivator

Chapter 173 – Blood Fiend can ‘become famous’ anywhere

```

"Boss, what should we do? Should we just let it go?"

Kuang Xiaoyan found himself in a dilemma.

"Keep bidding. If we back down from this provocation, everyone will think our Blood Fiend Guild is a bunch of spineless cowards."

Li Fengwen was also furious, but what could he do? Even knowing the other side was deliberately trying to disgust them, he had to endure it.

"Alright, bid up to 1000 and then stop. Let him keep it!"

Li Fengwen thought it was a good plan, preserving their dignity while also giving Lin Jichen a taste of his own medicine.

"Got it, Boss."

"700 Spirit Stones!"

Kuang Xiaoyan followed the plan and placed another bid.

But after waiting for a long time, Lin Jichen didn't bid again.

He stopped.

Lin Jichen wasn't that foolish. He just wanted to annoy Blood Fiend a bit and didn't expect this piece of Spirit Grade equipment to fetch a sky-high price.

If it ended up in his hands, it wouldn't be worth it. Even though he was the boss, if he had to put it up for a second auction, the price would surely plummet.

It wasn't worth the risk. Who knew if Li Fengwen was planning a counterattack? Better to play it safe.

The elegant auctioneer called out "700" three times, and no one else bid.

The spear went to Kuang Xiaoyan.

Although he won the spear, Kuang Xiaoyan couldn't feel happy about it.

Spending 700 Spirit Stones on a Spirit Grade weapon was equivalent to 140,000 Chinese Yuan.

At current market prices, it was definitely a loss.

When this spear was still on the equipment rankings, it was worth 500,000.

But now, the top ten spots on the equipment rankings were all taken by Mysterious Grade equipment. Even the former number one Storm Gauntlets had dropped off.

Let alone other Spirit Grade equipment.

Now the Dark Night Sword still dominated the top spot, followed by all Mysterious Grade items.

So this spear wasn't worth the price.

But Kuang Xiaoyan had to swallow the loss.

The most frustrating part was that this spear originally belonged to their Blood Fiend Guild...

The first item sold for 700 Spirit Stones, making a great start for the auction.

"The second item, Spirit Grade equipment: Crimson Cloud Sword. This sword was once the weapon of Lin Jichen, the top player in Tale of Immortal. With this sword, Lin Jichen was nearly invincible. He once easily defeated the Medicine Spirit Falcon in Canglan Medicine Valley and single-handedly routed a guild, leaving them in disarray..."

Before the auctioneer could finish, Kuang Xiaoyan stood up and cursed, "What the fuck do you mean by this?"

He felt the auctioneer was deliberately causing trouble today.

Selling the Wind Chasing Fire Spear as the first item was bad enough, but now they were bringing up Blood Fiend Guild's old wounds.

It was like rubbing salt in their wounds.

"Sir, I am merely stating facts. Lin Jichen indeed accomplished those feats with this sword. You can verify it if you don't believe me."

"Verify your ass! Is this how you promote things? Who's your boss? Get him out here so I can ask him what the hell he's thinking!"

Kuang Xiaoyan couldn't accept it.

The elegant auctioneer warned, "Sir, this auction prohibits disturbances. If you continue, I have the right to disqualify you and have the guards escort you out."

"You..." Kuang Xiaoyan wanted to say more, but Li Fengwen stopped him.

"Forget it, don't argue with an NPC!"

"You're ruthless!" Kuang Xiaoyan cursed under his breath and sat back down.

People around them stifled their laughter. Blood Fiend Guild was becoming infamous wherever they went, and it was hard not to envy them~

"This sword has excellent attributes and was once among the top three Spirit Grade items. Starting bid: 200 Spirit Stones."

As soon as the auctioneer finished, more bidders joined in compared to the first item.

After all, the celebrity effect was very powerful.

Lin Jichen's former weapon, combined with its excellent attributes.

Especially after the auctioneer's promotion, many players wanted to buy the sword and become the next Lin Jichen.

The price of the sword quickly soared, soon surpassing 700 Spirit Stones.

"1000 Spirit Stones!"

A player's voice suddenly raised the price to a thousand.

It was a girl's voice.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw it was Liu Xiazi.

Many people understood. Liu Xiazi was Lin Jichen's number one fan and wouldn't hesitate to offend Blood Fiend for him.

Seeing Lin Jichen's former weapon, she immediately wanted to buy it.

But there were others competing with her.

"1100 Spirit Stones!"

The bidder was Wang Fuchun, a fake second-generation wealthy.

But he didn't seem to be bidding for Lin Jichen. His eyes were lecherously fixed on Liu Xiazi.

Liu Xiazi ignored him, focused solely on winning the sword.

"1200 Spirit Stones!"

But as soon as she spoke, Wang Fuchun immediately raised the bid: "1300 Spirit Stones!"

Liu Xiazi frowned, glanced at him, and turned away in disgust after seeing his lecherous gaze.

"2000 Spirit Stones!" Liu Xiazi was determined.

But Wang Fuchun wouldn't give up, saying, "2100 Spirit Stones!"

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the end!" Liu Xiazi was furious.

Just then, a message popped up in her friend list. It was from Lin Jichen.

"Stop bidding. The sword isn't worth that much. Let him have it. Don't waste your money."

Lin Jichen's words were like an imperial decree. Seeing the message, Liu Xiazi beamed with joy, feeling blessed.

"Okay, Lin God! If you say don't buy, I won't buy!"

Liu Xiazi quickly replied, adding a cute emoji at the end.

Lin Jichen shook his head and laughed, feeling a bit tipsy.

Liu Xiazi stopped bidding, so the Crimson Cloud Sword went to Wang Fuchun.

2100 Spirit Stones, the highest transaction price for Spirit Grade equipment.

An attendant immediately brought the Crimson Cloud Sword to Wang Fuchun, who paid the Spirit Stones without batting an eye.

Everyone was a bit surprised. This guy seemed really wealthy.

After buying the Crimson Cloud Sword, Wang Fuchun immediately stood up and walked to Liu Xiazi's seat, offering her the sword.

"Xiaxia, I'm actually a loyal viewer and fan of your livestream. I didn't bid on this sword to target you; I just wanted to be friends. This sword is for you."

Liu Xiazi didn't expect this move. She was stunned for a second before refusing immediately!

"Thanks, but I don't need your gift. Since you bought Lin God's sword, I hope you treat it well and don't disgrace it."

Just based on his earlier gaze, Liu Xiazi had no good impression of this unremarkable guy.

Wang Fuchun didn't expect his expensive gift to be rejected. Unwilling to give up, he said, "Xiaxia, if you like any other item later, just tell me, and I'll buy it for you."

He boasted arrogantly, "I don't think anyone here can match my financial power."

After saying that, he swaggered back to his seat.

Some people were actually fooled, thinking he was the son of some wealthy conglomerate.

The auction continued.
