86: Chapter 86: The Mysterious Broken Sword!

“The starting bid, 300,000 gold coins!”

“Flying Knife” Silver Moon.

Even Lin Yi felt a bit tempted.

But he knew well that quality steel must be reserved for the blade’s edge.

Lin Yi still suppressed the thoughts in his heart and didn’t rush to make a move.

In the end, this Silver Moon “Flying Knife” was purchased by someone for 800,000 gold coins.

The 800,000 gold coins he had just worked hard to earn, just enough to buy a flying knife?

“Too f*cking ridiculous!”

Lin Yi shook his head, a mere High Grade Spiritual Artifact, no matter how extraordinary, cannot be worth 800,000 gold coins.

The items in this Wangyue Building auction were significantly overpriced!

It was simply a gold-consuming pit!

Just when Lin Yi was shaking his head and feeling very disappointed with the auction,

the item the female waiter brought onto the auction stage suddenly caught Lin Yi’s attention.

It was a black broken sword!

Even though it appeared to be in a tattered state, the moment Lin Yi saw this black broken sword, he felt his Sword Embryo stir intensely inside him!

“This broken sword?”

Lin Yi’s pupils shrank; he had never seen his Sword Embryo so agitated!

It seemed to be yearning!

Li Xin smiled at the crowd in the auction house and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, although this broken sword is incomplete, when it was whole, it was at least of the Ghost Level High Grade!”

Ghost Level High Grade!

A fiery look appeared in the eyes of many guests.

Such a level of treasure sword only existed in rumors!

“It’s just a pity it’s a broken sword.”

Many in the crowd felt inwardly regretful.

However, they also knew that if it weren’t a broken sword, this item wouldn’t have appeared in the Cang City auction house.

“The starting bid for this broken sword, 500,000 gold coins!”

As Li Xin’s voice fell, the auction house momentarily fell silent.

To spend 500,000 gold coins on a broken sword, in many people’s eyes, this behavior was not just extravagant but idiotic!

“501,000!”

After a while, finally, a bid came from the back row of the auction house.

Hearing this bid from the back, where commoners sat, many turned their gaze there, curious as to who among the commoners had such wealth.

“Eh?

Isn’t that the Cang Family’s Second Young Master Cang Yun?”

Soon someone recognized Cang Yun hiding in the back row, “Why didn’t Second Young Master Cang take a seat in the VIP area and run to the back row commoner area?”

“Who knows?

You can’t guess the thoughts of a rich second generation; maybe he wants to experience the life of commoners!”

“Wrong!

This guy probably wants to play possum to catch a tiger, to show off in a big way!”

For the surrounding murmurs, Cang Yun’s expression darkened.

A bunch of fools.

If I weren’t afraid of Lin Yi, would I be sitting with you in the back?

Do I look like someone with nothing better to do?

“502,000!”

After Cang Yun’s bid, an immediately following voice made him feel extremely annoyed.

Cang Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Fang Yue, who was looking at him with a mocking smile.

Obviously, he was planning to bid against him till the end.

“It’s that bastard again!”

Cang Yun was furious, “Whoever chickens out is a coward!”

Just as Cang Yun was about to compete with Fang Yue till the end.

“600,000!”

A familiar voice joined the competition.

Cang Yun stared in disbelief.

Isn’t that Lin Xiu?

Why does he have an interest in this broken sword too?

Cang Yun’s gaze flickered for a moment before his eyes suddenly brightened, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Young master, shall we raise the bid?”

A Cang Family guard beside him reminded.

“Bid my ass, no more bidding!”

Cang Yun decisively shook his head, but the sinister curve at the corner of his mouth gradually spread, “Let that kid Fang Yue raise the bid!”

“The more he bids, the better!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Fang Yue indeed raised the price to 650,000.

“800,000!”

Lin Yi furrowed his brows and abruptly pushed the price up a notch.

“This guy is so rich and imposing?”

Fang Yue glanced at Lin Yi not far away and a hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.

800,000 gold coins, even for him, a son of the Fang Family, was starting to feel somewhat strained.

And what about Cang Yun?

Why has he stopped bidding?

If that guy made a bid, it means he’s interested in this broken sword, so why has he only bid once and then gone silent?

What kind of tricks is he up to?

Never mind him!

Fang Yue’s expression became slightly heavy, and he called out, “810,000!”

Seeing Fang Yue and Lin Yi fighting tooth and nail, a brilliant smile spread across Cang Yun’s face.

That kid Fang Yue was calling out so joyously; it seems he doesn’t yet know who he’s bidding against, does he?

Keep calling, soon you won’t be able to make a sound anymore!

“One million!”

Lin Yi inwardly gritted his teeth.

Damn it, I’m going bankrupt!

To think I put all 800,000 gold coins for this broken sword, I still have to put in my own money!

If it weren’t for the Sword Embryo resonating with this item, he definitely wouldn’t gamble so big!

If he found out in the end this thing was useless, his loss today would really send him back to his grandmother’s house!

Whoosh!

Hearing the terrifying number of one million, a significant commotion arose in the auction hall.

Many people’s gazes converged on Lin Yi!

Then they all showed a touch of surprise.

Spending one million on a broken sword.

So young, yet so lavish!

“Damn, what’s the background of this kid, daring to compete with me for something?”

Now Fang Yue’s face became thoroughly grim.

In his opinion, without Cang Yun making a move, he was the protagonist of this auction.

No one could compete with him!

But he didn’t expect that this kid, who had seemingly come out of nowhere, kept raising the stakes against him, pushing the price of this broken sword up to the sky-high price of a million!

“Young master, let it go!”

At this moment, a grey-clothed elder beside Fang Yue spoke quietly, “Spending one million for a broken sword isn’t worth it.”

“If the young master desires it, after the auction ends, we can use some methods to directly snatch the broken sword from the kid’s hands.”

Hearing this, Fang Yue broke into a smile, “Good idea.”

In this way, he wouldn’t have to spend a penny and still get the item.

Why not?

“Let this kid hold on to it for me a little while longer!”

With that, he no longer paid attention to Lin Yi.

“Ding!”

Li Xin smiled as he looked at Lin Yi and struck the gong firmly, “Congratulations to this young master for acquiring the treasure sword at the price of one million gold coins!”

Clearly, he too was surprised that this broken sword could be auctioned off at the astonishing price of a million gold coins.

Throughout the auction process, Lin Yi’s expression didn’t change much.

Even when the bid reached a million, he remained calm, which made many people speculate about Lin Yi’s wealthy identity.

Little did they know that Lin Yi’s heart was already bleeding profusely, “Sigh, I’m gonna have to live frugally for the next few months…”

This broken sword had thoroughly drained all his fortune, plunging him from a minor tycoon to abject poverty!
