Chapter 52

Small worlds are worlds that exist attached to the main plane, in another dimension, which can be understood as small planets orbiting a giant planet.

There are countless small worlds, with the largest spanning hundreds of thousands of miles and the smallest being smaller than a village. Since it was brought out from the ancient battlefield of a small world, it suggests that this thing might indeed have some extraordinary qualities.

However, no one was buying it, and someone mocked, "Then let that elder keep it for safekeeping?"

"The elder went mad after coming out of that small world. His unfilial son squandered all the family's wealth and insisted on auctioning this thing at our auction house. He has a high seniority, and we can't do anything about it. We don't want to ruin our reputation."

Paniel smiled bitterly and announced with a weak voice, "Mystical Black Iron, auction begins. Starting bid: one medium-grade spirit stone."

Chen Feng originally thought it was just a joke and didn't take it seriously at all. However, suddenly, the dragon blood in his dantian hummed and jumped in the ancient tripod, as if it were very excited.

The source of its excitement was that piece of dark green scrap iron.

Chen Feng instantly became excited, his heart pounding.

"What's going on? The dragon blood hasn't moved since it transformed my body the night I obtained it. Why is it suddenly jumping now?"

"That scrap iron is indeed extraordinary, actually resonating with the dragon blood. Although I don't know what it is, I must buy it!"

Chen Feng thought to himself.

Han Yuer saw Chen Feng's expression change and asked, "Junior Brother, what's wrong?"

Chen Feng maintained his usual expression and smiled, "I'm fine."

He took a deep breath, making sure not to show any abnormality. He knew that there were many sharp people here, and if he showed any abnormality, they would also realize the scrap iron's extraordinary nature, making it difficult for him to buy it.

He held his breath and didn't bid yet.

Time passed, and Paniel called out loudly, "Is anyone bidding?"

She would ask three times, and if no one bid after the third time, the item would be withdrawn from the auction. She had just finished the second call, and just as Paniel thought the item would be withdrawn,

Suddenly, a lazy voice sounded, "Although it's just a piece of scrap iron, after Paniel, the beautiful lady, called it out three times, the price is not cheap. I can't let the beautiful lady waste so much effort, so I'll buy it, reluctantly!"

"I bid five spirit stones!"

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Chen Feng, who had just spoken.

Han Yuer was a bit puzzled but didn't ask. She couldn't see through Chen Feng anymore; he was inscrutable, and whatever he did must have a reason.

Chen Feng looked lazy, with a carefree smile and a bit of arrogance, just like a proud scion of a noble family.

Paniel was delighted, giggling and giving Chen Feng a flirtatious glance, "Sir, you truly know how to cherish beauty."

She turned to the crowd, "Five spirit stones, is anyone bidding higher? Five spirit stones, once, five spirit stones, twice, five spirit stones..."

She wanted to sell it quickly, and Chen Feng was sweating, feeling quite nervous.

Just then, a voice sounded, "I bid ten medium-grade spirit stones."

Chen Feng's heart tightened instantly. He turned to see that the bidder was a young man in his twenties, dressed in fine clothes, with a haughty expression, clearly from a good family.

Seeing Chen Feng's gaze, he sneered, a look of disdain on his face, his eyes filled with provocation.

Chen Feng was instantly extremely annoyed. He could tell that the other party definitely didn't see the specific value of the scrap iron. It seemed that this young noble just wanted to make things difficult for him.

"What did I do to you? How low can you be?" Chen Feng was speechless.

He didn't know that the other party had seen Han Yuer and found her very stunning, his eyes filled with greed. When he saw the tall beauty chatting and laughing with Chen Feng, he became furious and deliberately wanted to make Chen Feng uncomfortable.

Chen Feng took a deep breath and warned himself, "I can't show any abnormality!"

Paniel called out, "The young master of the Li family from Falling Leaf City bids ten! Ten!"

Chen Feng smiled faintly, "It seems I'm not the only one who cherishes beauty! Fifteen!"

"Thirty!" the young master of the Li family sneered.

Chen Feng: "Fifty!"

...

The young master of the Li family: "Two hundred and fifty!"

He was really at odds with Chen Feng. As long as Chen Feng bid, he would always outbid him.

At the price of two hundred and fifty, Chen Feng had reached his limit. He couldn't bid any higher, or he wouldn't have the funds to buy a whip for Han Yuer.

He looked at the young master of the Li family, a glint of killing intent in his eyes, and sneered, "The young master of the Li family is truly wealthy and generous, spending two hundred and fifty medium-grade spirit stones on a piece of scrap iron. I'm impressed! This thing is yours!"

Hearing this, the young master of the Li family was stunned. He had just been trying to provoke Chen Feng and didn't actually want to buy it. This price was far beyond his limit, as he had only brought three hundred medium-grade spirit stones this time.
