Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 1502: Chapter 1499: My Bid... One Piece (Fourth Update)

Ten thousand purple gears, this price has already exceeded many people’s expectations.

”Actually, this price isn’t expensive, because if this item were to be auctioned in those big cities, the price would be even higher! Of course, the seller also said that everyone can use high-quality alchemy items to offset the purchase of this item, and if someone offers something that entices the seller, they can directly exchange it for this rare treasure!”

”So now... everyone, start bidding!” Wen Jinkui said with a smile.

The entire room fell silent for a moment.

After all, the value of this Alchemy Armor had surpassed what many could bear.

But soon, Liu Zhang in his booth couldn’t help but stand up and shout, ”I am willing to offer five thousand purple gears, along with ten pieces of ancient alchemy items!”

This bid quickly spread throughout the venue, and many recognized it as the voice of Liu Zhang, a tycoon from the Inner City, so they all fell silent.

Even those high-ranking alchemists showed looks of frustration.

Because this price was beyond what they could afford.

So the venue fell silent instantly.

Liu Zhang, seeing this, revealed a smug smile, greedily eyeing the Alchemy Armor on the stage, believing it was already his.

But just then, a voice came from the booth that had previously won the alchemy puppet.

”Ten thousand purple gears, plus... twenty pieces of ancient alchemy items!”

Boom!

The entire audience was in an uproar.

Liu Zhang’s face immediately changed with rage.

He had never encountered such bidding tactics, clearly targeting him, thus his eyes filled with murderous intent, and he angrily said.

”Old Wen, where did this bidder come from? Surely they’re not here to cause trouble? From what I know, no one in the entire Qingshi Wilderness can afford such a price!”

Wen Jinkui remained composed, ”Mr. Liu, this is not something you should be concerned about! Our auction house has rules; anyone who can enter a booth has an appropriate status!”

”So... since this gentleman has placed a bid, it means he can afford it!”

This statement immediately caused Liu Zhang’s expression to turn sullen as he stared intently at the booth from which the voice had come, his eyes full of stabbing intent.

He wished he could rush up and eliminate the person disrupting his plans.

But he dared not!

Though he was a tycoon in Qingshi Cheng, he dared not make a fuss at this auction.

Because, in this world, auctions are all governed by the Auction Alliance.

This colossal entity is no weaker than the Tower of Truth belonging to Alchemists or the Hunter’s Guild.

So he could only open his mouth silently, unable to say anything.

Because his previous offer was already his limit.

It was impossible to surpass this booth’s bid.

The whole venue fell into silence.

Everyone quietly waited, all believing that the Alchemy Armor would ultimately belong to the mysterious person in the booth.

Although the entire process seemed long, from the appearance of this Alchemy Armor to now, only a few minutes had passed.

During this whole process, Xue An had said nothing, simply watching the Alchemy Armor on stage.

Meanwhile, in his hand, another Token emitted a faint brilliance, on which there were twelve squares.

At the moment, two squares were filled, one with a Blood Tiger image and the other with a sheep-like image.

And the gleaming light came from the first square.

After a long time, Xue An withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

”It’s indeed interesting, encountering this item here is quite the unexpected delight!”

His words were soft but still heard by Liu Jingyi beside him.

In fact, she was also captivated by the power and perfection of this Alchemy Armor.

But when she heard Xue An’s words, her heart jolted, recalling her previous ”wild words,” and couldn’t help but secretly lament.

Although she was arrogant, she knew the value of such a treasure was exorbitant.

Moreover, she had heard her father’s bid before; it was already astronomical, but apparently, there was someone even more lavish.

So a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face, just as she was about to speak.

Xue An seemed to see her expression and said indifferently, ”I said, the thing I want is something you cannot afford, do you understand now?”

These slightly mocking words instantly angered Liu Jingyi.

”I admit I can’t afford it, but aren’t you unable to afford it too?” Liu Jingyi said coldly.

Xue An laughed, ”Who said... I can’t afford the price?”

”Hmm?” This answer made Liu Jingyi’s eyes widen instantly.

At the same time, Xue An casually lifted his hand and said lightly, ”My bid, one purple gear!”

With that, a gear appeared in his hand, tinged with a light purple amid the blue; it was the gear that triggered the subsequent events when he first arrived in this world.

And this bid also quieted the whole venue, then instantly burst into laughter.

”Oh my, is this guy an idiot?”

”People are bidding ten thousand purple gears plus twenty alchemy items, and he’s offering one gear. Is he here to joke?”

The mocking voices erupted instantly.

Especially when those noble family scions saw that the speaker was the young man sitting with their goddess Liu Jingyi, and they laughed with full-faced ridicule.

”Tsk tsk, turns out this kid is a country bumpkin who’s never seen the world!”

”That’s right, this purple gear is probably his entire fortune!”

Among these jeers, even Liu Jingyi was taken aback, involuntarily showing a hint of disdain.

Not being able to afford something is one thing, but showing off in such a conceited way is truly contemptible.

Even Zhuang Linyan looked bewildered, clearly not knowing what Xue An intended.

Wen Jinkui’s smile gradually cooled, and he said in a detached tone, ”Sir, if you’re here to joke, then your purpose is accomplished, so I hope you refrain from such words in the future; otherwise, I will have the guards escort you out!”

Xue An smiled faintly, ”You think I’m joking?”

”Aren’t you?” Wen Jinkui sneered.

Xue An idly toyed with the purple gear in his hand, smiling slightly, ”Of course not!”

As he spoke, a flash of brilliance appeared in Xue An’s eyes, and a dense and complex Talisman Spell instantly appeared before him.

This Talisman Spell, once revealed, illuminated the entire venue, making everyone’s eyes widen gradually.

Even in the previously silent booth, a sound of surprise arose.

Xue An showed a hint of a cold smile, raised his hand to pinch the Talisman Spell, and pressed it firmly onto the purple gear in his hand.

Thud!

With a crisp sound, the Talisman Spell merged into one with the gear.

Then it floated into the air, rotating slowly.

The exquisite and profound patterns on the gear dazzled anyone who looked at it.

Afterward, Xue An casually flicked his hand, and the now-transformed gear turned into a stream of brilliant light, flying towards the stage.

A low murmur of exclamation came from below, and Wen Jinkui’s face turned pale.

But just then, the gear halted instantly, hovering before Wen Jinkui.

Xue An said indifferently, ”This is my bid, do you think... it’s enough?”
