The auction was going smoothly. Soon, another ten items have been auctioned off.Out of those, Feng Ao Xiu took three more items without anyone outbidding him. The manager wants to spew out blood having another treasure sold so cheaply.
"Next, is unique spirit stones that have been popular among the n.o.bles lately."
Feng Ao Xiu perked up.
[This is it! The pure coloured spirit stones!]
However, the most pressing question, how many do they sell?
"These spirit stones are beautiful, smooth, and doesn"t have any excessive colour. These stones have been the trend lately, especially for n.o.bles. We have 100 of them, they will be auctioned in groups of ten."
Feng Ao Xiu was trembling in excitement! How could he not? There are one hundred of them! He could get them all in a single night. Visiting the auction house was the right choice all along.
However, the auctioneer next words made Feng Ao Xiu shocked.
"Did you know!? Xie Jing, the disciple of Feng Ao Xiu, has been sending these stones to his master as gifts."
The customers began talking with each other.
"What!? Feng Ao Xiu like these stones!"
"If Feng Ao Xiu like these stones, I must buy it!"
One of the customers could not believe what he heard. He got up from his seat and asked, "Is this true?"
"Dear guest, what we just said was the truth. We have never lied to our customers! If you don"t believe us, you can ask it straight from our source, the Xie Clan Lord, Xie Kui!"
Feng Ao Xiu cursed in his heart. [F*ck! So, it was Xie Kui! I"ve told Xie Jing not to tell anyone, but I can"t order his father. Besides, the pure coloured spirit stones came from the father, not Xie Jing. This is so messed up!]
The customers get fired up. If the Radiant Treasure Hall dares say something like that, then it must be true. They must acquire these spirit stones no matter what! Maybe they could use it to gain favour with the Ancient Earth Realm Expert, Feng Ao Xiu.
The Radiant treasure Hall was crafty. They knew Feng Ao Xiu was on the trend right now. They even bought the information from Xie Kui by paying a hefty sum of money.
The information they got was the bare minimum, but they never said Feng Ao Xiu likes these stones. They just said that Xie Jing sends this spirit stones to Feng Ao Xiu. The customers just a.s.sume it was Feng Ao Xiu himself, who wants it.
It was a bit misleading, but using Feng Ao Xiu"s name, they could get a profit of at least twice the usual price.
"Each group of spirit stones price is 150 gold taels, at least an increase of 10 gold taels in every bid."
[What the h.e.l.l! 150 gold taels for ten spirit stones! This is a ripoff! Even in the Black Market, it only cost 10 gold taels each!]
Feng Ao Xiu was surprised.
However, just like Feng Ao Xiu, some others expressed their displeasure.
"How could they just tell everyone like that!? Now, the prices for these stones will surge!"
"That"s right, I"ve been putting off buying other treasures like Mystic Stone Ore and Fire Silkworm Cloth because I want these stones..."
One of the reasons, the other customers did not outbid Feng Ao Xiu earlier was because they got inside information. They"ve been waiting for these stones to come out, so they could buy it and do not bother too much with the other treasure.
"The auction for the first group of spirit stones commence now!"
The bid starts coming one after another!
"150 gold taels!"
"180 gold taels!"
"220"
"250"
"300"
The bid continues...
"680"
"Did anyone else want to bid higher than 680?"
A servant from one of the VIP room said, "700!"
"700 gold taels to the man in VIP room number one!"
"Did anyone else want to bid higher than seven hundred?"
"Three seconds until the bid close..."
"Two..."
Feng Ao Xiu felt a headache, how does it become 700 gold taels in an instant? Anyway, he needs to buy it. "750 gold taels!"
What!? 750 gold taels!? It increased even further.
The only one who"s happy here was the Radiant Treasure Hall. "Anyone wants to bid higher 750 gold taels?"
The servant, "800!"
Feng Ao Xiu, "850!"

This time it was not the servant, it was the master. He"s a man in his fifty, wearing a purple robe. He calmly said, "Haha! I bid 900 gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu said, "I"ll bid..."
Fake Feng Ao Xiu Number One and Two couldn"t help but said, "Are you crazy?"
"Brother, don"t be hasty!"
"Nine hundred gold taels is too overpriced!"
Feng Ao Xiu ignores them, "I bid 920 gold taels!"
"940"
"960"
"970"
"980"
The man in purple robe said in a coa.r.s.e voice, "Fake Feng Ao Xiu, I admire your stubbornness, but there is still another batch. I advise you to give up this round and aim for the next one! This will be my last offer, nine hundred and ninety gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu cupped his hands. "Thank you! But I will not back down!"
"One thousand gold taels!"
It reached 1000 gold coins, it was even higher than the Golden Raven Sword. This is insane!
The auctioneer starts counting down, "Three... Two... O..."
Feng Ao Xiu felt relieved. At last, he won!
Suddenly, someone said, "Wait! We bet two thousand!"
What!? Someone is betting again!? Who is it!
It"s from another VIP room.
The auctioneer couldn"t help but said, "Ah... We"re sorry, but we don"t accept silver taels in this bid."
The servant who made the bid angrily said, "You fool! Do you really think my master uses silver taels!?"
They couldn"t believe it! It has gone from one thousand to two thousand!
One of Yang Xue Yi"s brother said, "Xue Yi, are you sure? You just arrived here, and you want to buy all of the stones?"
Yang Xue Yi nodded, "If Young Master Ao Xiu likes it, I must buy it. If I give it to him as a gift, Young Master Ao Xiu will be happy!"
The other brother said, "But..."
Yang Wen Jia laughed, "Hahaha... It"s fine, it"s fine. Let Xue Yi do what she wants. Besides, this is for my son-in-law, nothing is too expensive if it"s for him!"
The three brothers sighed. Their father dotes too much on Yang Xue Yi.
Yang Wen Jia and Yang Xue Yi just arrived. That"s why they"re so late in making the bid. Just before it closes down, they hurriedly place a higher bid.
Feng Ao Xiu gritted his teeth. He thought the bid will end at one thousand, but suddenly someone came and made a higher bid. How could he just sit still and watch?
They didn"t know, the pure coloured spirit stones could fetch way higher than this if they knew how to use it!
"Three thousand!!!"
The two other Fake Feng Ao Xiu couldn"t help but ask, "Do you really like these spirit stones?"
"Little brother, how could you bid so much? Is there something valuable within these spirit stones!"
"Yeah! You"re not even a n.o.ble, and there"s still nine batches left. Tell me! What secret these stones have?"
Feng Ao Xiu panicked. This is the worst kind of situation, people asking him about the secret of the pure coloured spirit stones, it"s the last thing he wants. He said, "I"ll tell you later!"
The Yang Family inside the VIP room couldn"t believe it. Someone was crazy enough to outbid two thousand gold taels!
Yang Wen Jia sighed, "Let him take it! We don"t need much, five batches are good enough."
The servant of the Yang Clan nodded. He keeps quiet, and Feng Ao Xiu won the bid.
The auction for the second batch started, the Yang Clan won"t go easy, they started the bid, "2000 gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu followed, "3000 gold taels!"
One of the customers couldn"t help but shouts, "Again!"
"This Fake Feng Ao Xiu is not to be underestimated!"
"He is too rich for a Fake Feng Ao Xiu!"
Feng Ao Xiu won again. He got twenty pure coloured spirit stones now.
The auction for the third batch began. Feng Ao Xiu wants to win all of them, he said, "Three thousand gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu won for the third time!
The fourth, "Three thousand gold taels!"
The fifth, "Three thousand gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu won all five of them.
The sixth auction began, as usual, Feng Ao Xiu started, "Three thousand gold taels!"
Yang Wen Jia ordered, "Push!"
His servant nodded, he shouts, "Four thousand gold taels!"
Feng Ao Xiu immediately made another bid, "five thousand!"
Yang Wen Jia couldn"t take it anymore, he jumps and points at Feng Ao Xiu. "You! You"re just a Fake Feng Ao Xiu! What are you planning from monopolizing these stones?"
Feng Ao Xiu ignored him. If you don"t have any money, then just take your loss. There"s no need to shout like that!
Yang Wen Jia"s face went red from anger, "You... You dare to ignore me! Don"t you know who I am? I am the Clan Lord of the Yang Clan, Yang Wen Jia!"
Feng Ao Xiu hates this kind of people who use their name and status to suppress the weak. He jokes, "Oh! Don"t you know who I am? I am the Second Young Master of the Feng Clan, Feng Ao Xiu!"
All the customers laughed.
"Hahaha..."
"Yes! He"s right! I can also claim to be anybody. Haha... hahaha!"
"It doesn"t matter if you"re Yang Wen Jia or Feng Ao Xiu! Hahaaa..."
Yang Wen Jia was angry, he was humiliated by this Fake Feng Ao Xiu.
"F*ck you! Just wait! I"m going to kill you!!!"
Feng Ao Xiu smiled. [Take that! Do you really think you can... Wait! Yang Wen Jia!?]
Feng Ao Xiu looks up to the direction of the VIP room. He saw a middle-aged man angrily cursing at him.
He gives himself a facepalm. [F*ck! It really is Yang Wen Jia!]
The three sons were also angry.
"That imposter dares to humiliates our father!"
"He must be taught a lesson!"
"Father and little sister, don"t worry. We"ll take care of him!"
