Su Yan was stunned. The starting bid for this bronze chest was only five hundred thousand, yet he had bid one hundred billion!
She couldn't help but ask, "Ye Tian, is there anything special about this bronze chest?"
Ye Tian smiled and said, "It has some value for cultivators."
Su Yan: "Okay, I'll give you this chest."
Ye Tian chuckled, "How can I accept your things for free? I said one hundred billion, and it's one hundred billion. This price is neither high nor low. Even if it were auctioned, the final price should be around one hundred billion."
Su Yan smiled, "But I can't accept one hundred billion either. How about this, I'll give it to you at half price."
Ye Tian chuckled, "Alright, fifty it is."
After hanging up the phone, Su Yan informed her family. Su Yan's father was named Su Lichun, and she also had an older brother named Su Wenqiang.
When Su Lichun heard that Ye Tian had bid a hundred billion, and his daughter only wanted fifty billion, he frowned, "Xiao Yan, fifty billion! You're just giving it up like that?"
Su Wenqiang also said, "Yes, Xiao Yan, fifty billion! And he opened his mouth with a hundred billion. Its value is terrifyingly far beyond that, isn't it? It could be one hundred and fifty billion, or even three hundred billion."
Hearing Su Wenqiang's words, Su Lichun's eyes lit up, "That's right, Xiao Yan. If we auctioned it, the final price might be much higher than one hundred billion!"
Su Yan's face darkened, "Dad, Brother, it's all thanks to Ye Tian helping us that the Su family can get through this difficulty this time."
Su Wenqiang coughed lightly, "Xiao Yan, one thing is one thing, he has been kind to us, and we remember his kindness. But an auction is business, and in business, we must make judgments with a business mindset."
Su Yan said coldly, "I've already promised Ye Tian that I would give him the bronze treasure chest for fifty billion!"
A middle-aged woman said angrily, "You silly child, giving away tens or hundreds of billions like this, are you stupid?"
The family immediately started arguing. In the end, Su Yan couldn't convince her family and went back to her room in anger.
After hesitating for a moment, Su Yan sighed and dialed Ye Tian's number.
When the call connected, he said, "Ye Tian, I'm sorry, my dad and brother are short-sighted and insist on auctioning the bronze chest."
Ye Tian didn't mind. An auction was fine; the final price would be similar. He smiled and said, "It's okay. You auction it, and I'll bid for it."
Su Yan still felt very guilty, "I'm sorry, I clearly promised you, but I couldn't follow through in the end."
Ye Tian: "This is actually my fault; I was too rash."
Su Yan: "No, it's because of me; I couldn't convince my family."
Ye Tian laughed heartily, "Don't worry about it. Let's go through the auction then. It's all the same to me."
At seven in the evening, Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi arrived at the auction venue. The auction was being held in an old gymnasium.
When Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi arrived, the gymnasium was already filled with over a thousand people, a dense crowd.
Ye Tian sat in an empty corner, with Lin Ziyi sitting beside him.
Lin Ziyi ate the sunflower seeds Ye Tian had fried and asked with a smile, "Tian Ge, what are you planning to bid on today?"
Ye Tian replied, "This auction is no longer meaningful for the Su family. The items put up are definitely not rare treasures, so we'll just watch the excitement."
Lin Ziyi: "The Su family is really ungrateful. You helped them earn tens of billions, yet they don't even dare to sell you a bronze chest."
Ye Tian said lightly, "Isn't it good this way? One hundred billion was an overbid from me. If it were auctioned, its price would be at most seven or eight billion."
Lin Ziyi was very curious, "Xuan Bei, what exactly is that chest?"
Ye Tian: "A set of needles, but they are quite precious."
Lin Ziyi: "Needles? For acupuncture?"
Ye Tian nodded, "To be precise, it's called the Yin Yang Five Elements Great Derivation Divine Needles. Such a set of needle techniques has little value for ordinary cultivators; they might bid for it out of collection. But for me, it's a priceless treasure."
Upon hearing that Ye Tian needed it, Lin Ziyi smiled, "Tian Ge, I'll help you bid for it, no matter the price!"
