Chapter 1874: Chapter 850: Empathy
“Diao, are you worried that I might take away what you cherish?”
Bi Ziyu spoke candidly, but his tone was obviously teasing, with a hint of jest.
Simultaneously, he did not seem to have any intention of hiding or avoiding this question.
Such a direct question made Fang Yu feel slightly awkward, but outwardly, he remained calm and said.
“Worried that Lord Bi would take away what is cherished? That’s not the case. With Lord Bi’s status and wealth, how could we possibly compete with what you desire? However, in this area, there indeed is some doubt…”
“Hahaha!”
Bi Ziyu promptly interrupted Fang Yu’s rambling, saying.
“Diao, you need not worry, I will not directly compete with you. What I seek, I believe Diao knows better than I do. I am here at this auction solely for this purpose; everything else is merely a pastime. After all, my Bi Family can participate in many auctions, but such an opportunity only comes once. This principle of not missing an opportunity is something I understand well.”
Bi Ziyu’s explanation was clear and straightforward.
In matters of great importance, he was very aware of what was significant.
Being able to establish a connection with Master Ouyang is a big deal that can change the future development and direction of the entire family, involving the future fate of so many people; how can a mere auction compare!
Therefore, as long as Fang Yu wants an auctioned item, he will withdraw from the competition immediately.
Of course, if there is something that catches his interest, he will bid, and if Fang Yu wants it, he will give it up.
Bi Ziyu’s words were clear, and Fang Yu naturally had no concerns.
As for this Zifei Mu Shuangyu, neither Fang Yu nor Ding Hui showed any intention to bid.
It’s not that Ding Hui wasn’t interested, but Fang Yu had instructed her to save money for important materials. Spending big bucks on anything that slightly interests her would mean no amount of money is enough.
And Ding Hui was very obedient, only bidding a few times, being very selective and tough on specific necessary materials, bidding high.
“Seventeen thousand taels once, seventeen thousand taels twice, seventeen thousand taels three times!”
Surprisingly, the price remained stagnant at this number, and Bi Ziyu secured it smoothly.
Seeing Fang Yu’s puzzled expression, Bi Ziyu smiled and provided an explanation.
“They feel they can’t compete with me, so simply didn’t participate. Otherwise, if I stop bidding, they take it at a high price, and they won’t gain anything. Actually, our competition is almost never with those below, but…”
Bi Ziyu gestured to the sides but left the sentence unfinished.
Fang Yu had already understood.
Competition among equals.
Those on the second floor naturally bid among themselves.
Presently, no one has stepped up to bid against Bi Ziyu because the items aren’t good enough; no one else on the second floor is bidding.
People downstairs are reluctant to bid against those on the second floor, as no matter how high they offer, those on the second floor can outbid them. Their bids are meaningless and pose risks, so it’s better not to bid.
During the subsequent auction lots, Ding Hui bid for many materials, rapidly draining her purse, but the gains were significant.
However, they were still short of many high-end rare materials on their predetermined list, uncertain if such items would appear at the auction.
In the meantime, auction staff came over once more and took some things from Ding Hui.
Not long after…
“Concealing Breath Mimicry Death Pill! This pill is crafted by a mysterious Alchemy Master. After consumption, the body adapts to the surrounding environment creating a mimicry death appearance, temporarily sealing Qi, achieving a state of fake death that is indistinguishable from real, but most marvelously, while in fake death, the mind remains clear. It’s essential for survival in the wild or desperate duels!”
“Such a Divine Pill with such miraculous effects equals gaining a new lease on life. Its value goes without saying, starting bid… nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine taels!”
Swish——
Upon hearing the auctioneer’s introduction of the new item, Fang Yu immediately turned to Ding Hui.
She auctioned off such a valuable thing?
Though Ding Hui mentioned she’d auction some of her own concocted medicine pills, Fang Yu didn’t expect such a good thing to be included.
Seemingly sensing Fang Yu’s gaze, Ding Hui playfully winked at him, her voice directly resonating in Fang Yu’s mind.
“Could it be that sir is interested in this pill? Rest assured, this is merely a defective product. I have better pills at hand; if sir is interested, just ask me for it once we return.”
There’s no need…
Fang Yu was too experienced with fake death, and rarely failed at it. Faking it realistically was too easy.
For him, it wasn’t a fake death at all but a real death.
Vital organs shattered, vital points hit directly, demonstrating death effects convincingly. It wasn’t called acting, it was real; just that he didn’t die.
“Thirteen thousand taels!”
“Fifteen thousand taels!”
Regarding the life-and-death critical survival pill, everyone’s willingness to bid was very enthusiastic, and the prices given were quite high, wave after wave, easily surpassing twenty thousand taels and continuously climbing.
