1474 Unique Nasty Bastard! (1/2)

”Thirteen thousand!” Another voice sounded somewhere.

The second bid appeared.

After all, it was something powerful enough to create two divine weapons.

”Fifteen thousand!” A middle-aged man shouted.

”Twenty thousand!” A man with a big beard raised up the price by five thousand. Apparently, he wanted to scare away the competitors.

”Twenty-one thousand!”

…

However, twenty thousand purple spirit coins were far less than enough to force these people back. Some others did not give in, just kept raising up the number.

Master Xiao seemed to be worried, and also a bit annoyed. 'No wonder the Brotherhood Alliance wouldn't do that for me. The highest price they had ever obtained in the auction before was nineteen thousand purple spirit coins. Now, one small piece of Feather Bronze has already broken the record, and the number is still rising… Are these people in the Limitless Ocean all so rich?'

Finally, somebody shouted hastily to the crowd. ”Guys, gentlemen, please. Master Xiao needs the Feather Bronze to make his vertical bamboo flute. If you don't actually need it for anything special, why don't we step back a bit and give the chance to Master Xiao… When Master Xiao made his vertical bamboo flute, we can listen to his beautiful songs again. Isn't it wonderful?”

Master Xiao's pretty face didn't look indifferent anymore when he heard the man speaking. He cracked a warm smile.

'Well, it appears there are clever people in the Limitless Ocean. People are supporting me after all.'

'It feels so good.'

'That is right. If I can get easily have the Feather Bronze, I won't hesitate to put on some shows in the City of Chaos. They can take it as a gift from me, as a return for the favor!'

'However, I don't think it is necessary to play songs that consume my soul power. They won't understand anyway.'

Unexpectedly, when that man just finished speaking for Master Xiao, many people in the bidder's block stared at him with anger in their eyes. They were apparently extremely annoyed.

After that, somebody made an awkward smile and said in a weird tone, ”Well, let's think about what this brother just said. I think he means that the great Master Xiao's vertical bamboo flute is important, while our weapons, which accompany us for a lifetime are nothing. Do I get it right? No matter how important our weapons are for us, we must give the metal to your great Master Xiao. Is that what you mean? Isn't it?”

The man anxiously said, ”I… I didn't mean it… I didn't say it… What I said… Master Xiao's song… You know… When he played his vertical bamboo flute…”

”Why should I care about how he plays with his vertical bamboo flute? He can blow whatever he wants! He can refuse to blow it too! I don't care! Besides, even if he does put on a show somewhere, do you think we can all go? Think about it. How many times has he played his thing in the Limitless Ocean? Will he play it only for me? Alone?”

Another man sneered.

Somebody agreed with him. ”That's absolutely true. Even if Master Xiao can play the songs from heavens, do you think we have time to listen to him all day? Our weapons stay with us every second! It accompanies us for a lifetime! Isn't it clear which side means more to us?”

”Absolutely true! We won't mistreat ourselves for somebody else's benefit!”

”Let's assume that I give it up now. Does Master Xiao know who actually has given up for him? Will he know who did the favor for him? It is such a stupid idea to give up a chance for something unreliable! I am not going to do such a stupid thing!”

”Well, I don't know if Master Xiao would remember me. He may forget about you too. But he definitely won't forget that man who spoke for him! That must be the pretty master's fanboy! Look how stupid he becomes! We must remember how f*cking stupid that man is! It actually opened my eyes!”

”That's right! We are having a fair competition here! Who gives the highest price gets the lot! If Monarch Xiao can pay more than every one of us, he can surely have the Feather Bronze. If you want me to just give it up for him, I should say f*ck off.”

”I don't accept it either. What is the Limitless Ocean? This is a world of danger. Death is everywhere. To give up the chance that could save my life someday for a song that I may never be going to hear? Abso-f*cking-lutely not!”

”Listen to a fart, and I can smell something afterward. Listen to a song? I get nothing! Why would I do that?”

”Master Xiao? Who the f*ck is this Master Xiao…? I am a rough man who never listens to songs. Oh, I do, but I only listen to the songs sung by the ladies in the brothel… They absolutely blow much better than this Master Xiao with my flute in their mouths…”

”Hah hah hah…”

”Absolutely not!”

”Bid! You want it, you bid for it! You have the money, you stand up. Poor bastards shut the f*ck up!”

”You are a poor bastard! You are all poor bastards! Twenty-six thousand!”

”Holy hell? Are you f*cking messing with me? Do you think you are richer than me? Thirty thousand!”

The entire place was in a mess. Master Xiao was utterly provoked.

Somebody had stood up and spoke for him, and actually displeased the entire crowd. People even called him a fanboy.

That was such a disgrace to him that he had never endured before in his life!

He had heard that cultivators in the Limitless Ocean were all lawless people. Now as he finally experienced it in person, he finally believed that these people had no courtesy.

If they just refused to give up the metal for him, he wouldn't feel offended so much. An auction house was a financial competition after all. Whoever had more money won the game. However, he was so angry about people being rude and impolite to him.

Master Xiao usually appeared as an easy-going gentleman, but now he was uncontrollably angry!

At the back of the bidder's block, the other Master Xiao, Ye Xiao, sitting comfortably on the chair, leaning backward, showing a pleasing smile in his eyes.

It appeared it was a good decision to give the metals to the Brotherhood Alliance. It was going to be as good as Ye Xiao expected.

Only an organization of a local force could get the highest price in the auction.

Only the Brotherhood Alliance wouldn't care about any other influential people in the world.

In fact, there was one thing in Ye Xiao's heart. He was sure that the Brotherhood Alliance had planted quite a lot of people in the bidder's block.

Otherwise, things wouldn't come to such an extreme situation so soon. Master Xiao was pushed to the opposite side against the entire crowd now.

As long as Master Xiao wanted to get the metal, people would try their best to stop him. As the price was raised upper, the salesroom earned more…

'Well done. Good job.'

Ye Xiao was quite satisfied with the current situation.

The price of that piece of Feather Bronze had been rising and rising. It had already reached the line beyond the rational number.

The auctioneer was like in a heat of love potion, extremely excited.

”Forty-two thousand! A forty-two thousand appears… Anybody else? Any more bid? The legendary Feather Bronze is right here! Ah! Ah! Ah! Forty-four thousand! We have a forty-four thousand over there! Forty-four thousand from our honorable guest. Number One Hundred and Eighty-six… Forty-five thousand! Forty-five thousand… It has been centuries since a top-class rare metal appeared in an auction… Wait! Forty-seven thousand, from hour honorable guest, Number One Hundred and Ninety-three… Oh! Oh! Oh! Ah! Forty-eight thousand from Number One Hundred and Thirty-one… Oh! Oh, oh, oh, oh… Ah… Fifty thousand! Fifty thousand over there! Anybody else? Any more bid! Come on! Fifty thousand, calling once… This Feather Bronze is the only piece that has ever appeared in the Human Realm Upon Heavens for the last three million years… Anybody? Any more bid? Over there… Fifty-two thousand over there! Fifty-two thousand now… Anybody else? This could be the only chance in your life! Fifty-four thousand! Fifty-four thousand over there… Fifty-four heavenly thousand from our Number Two Hundred and Forty-nine bidder! Anybody else? Any more bid? This is the great Feather Bronze we are selling here! It turns moral irons into divine weapons! Come on! Ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah…”

The auctioneer must be crazy at the moment. He kept telling the crowd how great the Feather Bronze, and intentionally drag it on and on.

When he spoke that long speech out, he said it without a stop. Holding his breath for such a long time, he had his face turn totally red, but he didn't seem to stop yelling.

The bidders who had called their bids were all so pissed by the auctioneer at this moment.

'What the hell is wrong with you? The Feather Bronze has nothing to do with you! You are just an auctioneer! Why are you working on it so hard? I am going to f*ck you up, you f*cking bastard!'

'F*cking moron! Every number you shout-out, we have to pay one hundred billion yellow spirit coins to bid!'

'You bastard! Do you think we earn our money easily? Do you think the wind blows money into my house?'

'Are you addicted to the Feather Bronze fantasy?'

The price was getting higher, and more and more people stopped bidding.

”Sixty thousand!” Master Xiao finally called his bid. The price was boosted up to sixty thousand purple spirit coins.

He had been staying self-restrained for a long time. In the end, he was sure there were only three people who were able to continue the competition, so he figured it was time he got in.

”Sixty-one thousand!”

It was the man who first stood up and refused to give up the metal for Master Xiao. He actually stood up right against Master Xiao now, and he talked to Master Xiao with a big smile, ”Master Xiao, I mean no offense. I do like to let you blow the flute for me, but I love my sword more. After all, it is the one who will be my partner for the rest of my life… I am sorry.”

People in the crowd were all shocked when they heard what the man said, and then the crowd burst into a wild laughter.

Master Xiao was surprised as well, and then his entire face turned red as if it was going to bleed.

It was definitely humiliating to say those words…
