Devil Fruit Era: My Max-Level Armament Haki Flowing Sakura

"Yeah! Dare to empty my pockets? In your next life, no way!"

"Speak quickly! I'll definitely get this good stuff!"

"Hey!! What good stuff is it? I can't wait any longer!"

Looking at the commotion and the scene resembling a vegetable market, Ye Chi's opinion of Xie Yue'er's abilities rose a bit.

It's absurd that so many wealthy businessmen could be so easily manipulated by a woman.

This kind of manipulation can increase the auction house's profits by at least 10% to 20%, which is astonishing!

Xie Yue'er kept everyone in suspense for a moment, then pointed to the projection screen and said with a charming smile, "Everyone, look closely! This is a sword stone that records a move by an unparalleled swordsman!"

The sword stone from the single strike of a peerless swordsman...

She certainly knows how to exaggerate her wealth; that's just a casual sword strike at most...

The quality of a single move and a single sword strike is vastly different.

But that's enough to drive everyone crazy!

A move by an unparalleled swordsman!

"My God, is there really such a thing in the world?"

"Is it newly discovered? Does this kind of thing exist in the rift world of our Hangzhou city?!"

"Amazing! This is the grand finale!! I didn't bring enough money!"

"I remember that ordinary swordsmen usually cost tens of millions... but these peerless swordsmen cost at least several hundred million!!"

"It's absolutely insane!"

In an instant, the people at the auction house understood why Xie Yue'er had said this item would empty their pockets!

In this world, there's not much of anything else, but there are the most people who practice swordsmanship!

The more powerful a swordsman is, the more he craves sword stone resources!

Not to mention, this is a sword stone engraved with the name of a top swordsman!

During the auction, the news spread like wildfire, and the entire Federation was shaken by the emergence of this sword stone!

Ye Chi's ears twitched slightly. He could feel that at that moment, the entire city's population was surging towards this place!

"Holy crap! Isn't that Tang Tianzong, the patriarch of the Tang family?"

"Wow, that's awesome! Someone from the Song family has come too!"

Ye Chi looked at the many powerful and influential people surrounded by them below the stage, and paid more attention to the Song family.

Not finding his target, he turned to Tang Tianzong, whom he had met once before.

He was dressed as casually as ever, in beach shorts and flip-flops, with a confident smile on his face.

A moment later, his gaze shifted to the side, and the instant he saw Ye Chi, his smile widened!

"The Langye Auction House is truly magnificent tonight! I am deeply moved by your presence..."

After Xie Yue'er gave her speech and everyone entered the room, the auction officially began.

The auction includes a precious sword, a spirit-enhancing fruit, and a rare sea beast.

When the grand finale began, Ye Chi took a liking to an ancient martial arts manual called "Listening to the Wind".

Having heard that various powerful families possessed their own cultivation techniques, Ye Chi wanted to get his hands on one to see what was so magical about it.

However, the grand finale is still the grand finale, and many people know the value of this kind of inherited skill.

If we acquire it, we might just become the next aristocratic family!

"Two billion!"

"1300000000!"

"Fifteen billion!"

Ye Chi was extremely shocked by the repeated bids in the hundreds of millions. Was this the world of the rich?

He wanted to try it too!

"Two billion!"

Ye Chiqing's clear voice rang out, "A one-time increase of 500 million! Whose spendthrift son is this?!"

Xie Yue'er's lips curled slightly, thinking that Ye Chi must have been stimulated by the aristocratic family's martial arts techniques.

"The VIP in Observation Room No. 1 has offered 2 billion. Is anyone else willing to raise the bid?"

"Me! Two billion!" Someone gritted their teeth and made one last desperate gamble.

Ye Chi made another offer: "2.5 billion!"

Wow! !

This price increase shocked everyone!

"Whose rich kid is this?! Does he think his money grows on trees?"

A martial arts technique whose details are unknown is actually willing to pay 25 billion... This is far beyond other people's budget!

In the end, he succeeded.

After passing through several other shops, Ye Chi's sword stone, something countless people had been eagerly anticipating, finally made its appearance!

Chapter 117 Nouveau Riche Behavior

"Everyone! Please look at the big screen!"

This isn't a simple projection; it's the finest pixel art!

A clear corner of the sword stone appeared on the screen, and the sword masters present gasped in unison as they stared at the smooth, mirror-like cut!

"No! Why is there only this much? How can we know how powerful this sword is if we have more?"

"That's right! Project more images! I don't believe anyone can comprehend such profound sword intent from just this corner!"

As everyone expected, the projection truly added an extra layer of pain!

Xie Yue'er laughed and said, "Everyone, this is also to preserve the value. Although I would like to show it to you more, the seller will not let me off the hook!"

The control of the intensity was excellent; the real climax of the auction was about to begin!

Many people couldn't contain their excitement and wanted to take this sword stone that symbolized supreme power!

"Grandpa Tang, what do you think?" a young man asked with a smile.

Emperor Tianzong sipped his tea and calmly said, "This girl's skills are quite good."

The technology refers to auction technology.

Those who are truly valuable are not fooled by this small, insignificant cut.

Because it really was just one strike. It's not that there was nothing inside, but rather that the person who wielded the sword had hidden something too deep and profound!

Just like doing a lot of practice questions for the college entrance exam, you might be able to solve difficult problems by doing a lot of practice questions, but now that the problem is in front of you, this sharp sword stone is like a corner of the difficult problem!

The question was already difficult, and you only had a hint. How could you possibly understand it completely?

Therefore, Emperor Tianzong of Tang described the sword stone as "a useless thing."

At this moment, Xie Yue'er also announced a low price: "Starting bid: 50 million!"

Upon hearing this, some people frowned. How could such a powerful sword strike only start at fifty million?

Some people were astonished! The starting bid was actually 50 million!

"Sixty million!"

"Seventy million!"

"One hundred million!"

The price quotes just wouldn't stop, and many people were even borrowing money to buy them – it was a truly impressive display of enthusiasm!

Once the billion mark is reached, even ordinary wealthy people stop there.

Then it's time for the conglomerates that really have their eyes on the treasure to put on their show.

"1.2 billion!" The Song family was the first to call out a bid.

The moment the Song family spoke, the entire auction hall fell silent.

Emperor Tianzong of Tang smiled and held up a sign, saying, "1.5 billion!"

The Song family member glanced at him and said, "Old Master Tang, the family instructed us that although this sword stone is only one sword, it cannot fall into your hands. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it's worth 1.7 billion!"

Emperor Tianzong snorted, "Over the years, I haven't made much progress, except my money has increased quite a bit, to two billion!"

"Two billion!" The Song family members gritted their teeth fiercely!

"Two and a half billion!"

Emperor Tianzong's further bid caused everyone in the auction hall to gasp in shock!

It would be a lie to say Ye Chi wasn't excited as he listened to the two powerful families arguing fiercely!

"This stuff is really good; sometimes one piece can sell for several dollars!"

Things are valued for their rarity; Ye Chi finally understood this.

"My Song family, three billion!" a member of the Song family retorted angrily.

Emperor Tianzong smiled, stood up, turned around, and said, "Alright! It's yours!"

Old Master Tang's stance was decisive and straightforward. Just when everyone thought the sword and stone would fall into the hands of the Song family, another female voice unexpectedly rang out:

"I'll offer four billion!"

The female voice was exceptionally special, ethereal and full of charm, like a lark in spring.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tianzong paused, but did not turn around.

When the Song family heard that the woman had driven the price up to four billion, they had no intention of scraping together the money to sell this worthless piece of stone, which was of little use to the Song family.
