Collect the rags and I become a clairvoyant doctor

Chapter 2457 Tooth for Tooth

Although Qin Fei and Saito simply added a base number of one hundred, a sense of tension had already permeated the air between them.

It was obvious to everyone that the Qi family was unlikely to let Qin Fei get the stone easily.

Previously, Saito hadn't killed Qin Fei because of Li Yan's interference, but now they've finally found an opportunity for revenge.

Given the Qi family's wealth, they would probably disgust Qin Fei to death.

"It's just a broken rock, why is your Qi family being so disgusting?" At this moment, Li Yan, who was next to Qin Fei, couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to say something.

But this time Saito didn't tolerate Li Yan. He argued directly, "The rules of the auction are that the highest bidder wins. Qin Fei wants this item, and coincidentally, my Qi family also wants it. If he wants it, then let's keep raising the price."

"Alright, then I'll grant your wish." Upon hearing this, Qin Fei immediately called out, "I bid ten thousand crystal stones!"

Wow!

These words shocked the entire audience, and many people gasped in disbelief.

They probably never dreamed that Qin Fei would spend so many crystals to buy a broken stone just to spite the Qi family. Is he out of his mind?

"If your Qi family makes another offer, I'll give you this stone," Qin Fei said expressionlessly.

Conspiracy!

This is a perfectly legitimate and openly planned scheme.

Wasn't the Qi family trying to annoy Qin Fei?

If they still want to continue to annoy Qin Fei, they will have to pay a heavy price for it.

Ten thousand crystals is no small sum. The Qi family can certainly afford it, but it depends on whether it's worth it.

"After trying to disgust others, they've now found themselves in a predicament. Isn't this a classic case of shooting themselves in the foot?"

"It's a pity about Qin Fei's crystal."

Who would have thought that Qin Fei's counterattack would come so quickly and so directly, jumping from a price of one thousand to ten thousand? How was Saito supposed to respond?

To continue to disgust Qin Fei?

Then he would have to pay tens of thousands of crystals for nothing.

But if he chooses to give up now, he will probably lose all face for the Qi family.

He didn't expect Qin Fei to be so ruthless in his revenge, leaving him completely unable to resist.

He really wanted to raise the price by another hundred, but then he remembered what he had just said. If he raised the price, Qin Fei would stop, and he would have to spend a huge amount of crystals to buy this broken stone.

Thinking of this, he could only swallow his anger and said coldly to Qin Fei, "This time you're ruthless, but spending so many crystals to buy a broken stone, you're quite the 'talent'."

The so-called "talent" is, of course, an implication that Qin Fei is mentally ill.

But Qin Fei wouldn't tolerate this old dog Qi. He retorted directly, "I have plenty of crystals, what's it to you?"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing Qin Fei's words, many people couldn't help but burst into laughter.

The Qi family's attempt to disgust others backfired, and now they themselves have become a laughing stock.

In front of everyone, Qin Fei took out 10,000 crystals and then put the black stone into his pocket.

"Is it worth it?" Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head and ask as he watched Qin Fei accept the black stone.

The item that had a starting bid of 500 was eventually bid up to 10,000 by Qin Fei. Qin Fei has indeed embarrassed the Qi family, but at the same time, he has also suffered a huge loss.

In this competition, Qin Fei suffered a complete loss despite winning.

"Everyone fights for their pride, and even Buddha receives incense. Since they don't want me to have an easy time, then I'll make them even more miserable. As long as I feel it's worth it, then it is!" Qin Fei replied firmly.

"Since you yourself believe it's worthwhile, then that's the best-case scenario."

The price of 10,000 crystals was likely a rash decision made by Qin Fei. If he regrets it later, he can only blame himself for it.

He now believes it was worthwhile, so that's naturally the most ideal outcome.

The auction was still ongoing. Although Qin Fei's purchase of a broken stone for 10,000 crystals had been the talk of the town for a while, it didn't affect their own interests. So when the new items were put up for auction, everyone's attention was focused on them again.

Spending 10,000 crystals didn't make Qin Fei feel any pain, and he didn't participate in the subsequent auction items.

Just as a spiritual herb appeared, Qin Fei finally became interested, because he sensed an extremely powerful spiritual energy emanating from it. The quality of this herb was better than any other spiritual herb he had.

After all, the spiritual herbs he possessed came from Earth, and the era he lived in was a post-disruption cultivation era, so the quality of those spiritual herbs was certainly not as good as before.

If possible, Qin Fei wanted to acquire this spiritual herb.

Before he could even make a bid, everyone had already started speaking up impatiently.

"I'm willing to pay five hundred crystals to acquire this spiritual herb!" someone shouted.

"Everyone wants a treasure, but you think you can buy a top-grade spiritual medicine for only 500 crystal stones? You're dreaming."

"I'll give you a thousand."

Although Fatty Ge hadn't yet announced the low price of the elixir, the people around him had already started arguing.

If Qin Fei could tell that this spiritual herb was a treasure, then everyone else could too.

Everyone knows that if used properly, spiritual herbs can sometimes even become a cultivator's second life.

So now everyone is bidding like crazy.

In less than ten breaths, the price of this elixir had already been forcibly raised to seven thousand crystal stones.

At this point, the number of bidders gradually decreased. There was no other way; spending several thousand crystals to buy a single spiritual herb was still quite extravagant for many people. With those crystals, they could easily buy a whole bunch of ordinary spiritual herbs.

There's no need to fight to the death.

"My Qi family will contribute 10,000 crystal stones!"

Just when everyone thought that this spiritual herb might be bought for seven thousand, Qi Teng from the Qi family suddenly spoke up.

His voice was filled with confidence and determination.

Moreover, his one-time increase of three thousand was a clear message to everyone that the Qi family was determined to get this item!

Anyone who tries to compete with them is making an enemy of them.

This is just like when Qin Fei made his bid earlier; he suddenly raised the price so much, his purpose being to tell others that there was no need to continue competing.

Seeing that the Qi family had made their move, those who had been thinking of vying for the prize suddenly fell silent.

Unfortunately, many people would be unwilling to spend more than 10,000 crystals to buy a single spiritual herb, as this would far exceed the value of the herb itself.

"Alright, the Qi family has already offered 10,000 crystal stones. Is there anyone offering more than that?"

Seeing that the Qi family was wealthy and powerful, Fatty Ge on the auction stage immediately shouted.

Perhaps he never imagined that this medicinal herb could fetch such an astronomical price.

"I'll offer twelve thousand!"

While everyone remained silent, Qin Fei finally spoke.

His voice was calm, yet it was like a thunderclap from a clear sky, once again drawing everyone's attention.

The Qi family made him bleed a lot of money to buy that worthless stone, and now he wants to retaliate?
