d prepared well in advance."Little brother, you're back!"Seeing him appear, Hu Yaoyao and the others immediately surrounded him.They had been waiting here all along, and now seeing him return safely,...Ye Bufan had checked the details of more than a dozen lots, but he didn't find any treasures that caught his eye.

Even so, a new problem stood before him: the spiritual energy armor and the nine-leaf frost lotus herb, together with a starting price of 20 million.

At this auction, it's common for bids to increase tenfold. If there's a buyer who really wants an item, the price can even go much higher.

And all he had in his pouch was over two hundred million gold coins, which couldn't guarantee him getting both of those things.

"Damn, looks like I'm still broke!"

He patted his head, just now thought he was a millionaire, it seems there's still a long way to go.

It seems like I still need to figure out a way. Ye Bufan had participated in many auctions when he was on Earth and knew that there were very strong techniques involved during bidding. If he found the right method, he could save a lot of money and ensure he got what he wanted.

Just as he was pondering, there was a commotion at the entrance of the marketplace, and then a tall young man walked in from outside.

This man wore a magnificent robe, his hands clasped behind him and his chin held high, his expression one of haughty disdain.

Beside him stood a middle-aged scholar of about 40, with a fawning expression on his face. He seemed to be his master.

The young man is He Changsheng, the eldest son of the He family in Tianlang City. The He family, one of the three major families, is powerful.

And this young master was the most beloved son of the head of the family. He was arrogant and tyrannical on a daily basis, doing all sorts of evil deeds. His notoriety spread throughout Tianlang City, and no one dared to provoke him.

Human nature is such that it has always been cowardly and greedy. After he entered, everyone present stood up and scrambled to greet him.

"Greetings, Master He..."

"I have met Young Master He..."

"Greetings to Young Master He..."

For a time, fawning voices filled the air. In the entire venue, only Ye Bufan sat in his seat, ignoring it all. This made him stand out.

"Boy, what the hell are you doing standing there Are your eyes blind, didn't you see Young Master Hurry up and greet me!"

When the master saw someone sitting still beside him, in order to please his master, he immediately shouted.

Ye Bufan glanced at him indifferently: "If you like to be a dog, do it yourself. What does it have to do with me"

"You..." The old tutor was immediately furious.

Although he was a dog, he was also the big master's dog of the He family. Everyone knew it, but no one had ever dared to point it out.

"Brat, you dare to disrespect Young Master He! Are you looking for death"

At the same time, He Changsheng also looked over, his eyes were extremely sinister.

"Boy, are you looking for death Don't think that wearing a mask will keep you safe. If you anger this young master, I can find you anyway."

"Get out!"

Ye Bufan was too lazy to waste words with such a person. After speaking, he directly turned his head away.

A buzz swept through the crowd. Who was this guy How dare he disrespect Young Master He like that Didn't he know he was playing with fire

He Changsheng had a bad temper and was about to explode, but after glancing at the guards inside the market, he ultimately held back.

Although the He family is powerful, they are still no match for a behemoth like Ju Bao Ge. No one in Tianlang City dares to cause trouble here.

"You little punk, you wait for me. Once I'm out of the Treasure Pavilion, I'll chop you into a thousand pieces!"

He Changsheng threatened with a sinister tone, then returned to his seat.

The private rooms upstairs have windows that are enchanted with an array of spells. They allow you to see clearly outside, but nothing from the outside can be seen inside.

Fu Haishan stood respectfully behind Luo Yudi, and when he saw He Changsheng enter, he couldn't help but frown.

"Master, I didn't expect this despicable fellow to be here again."

Although He Changqing didn't dare to cause trouble at the Ju Bao Pavilion, his notoriety was so great that whenever he opened his mouth during an auction, everyone else immediately backed down, and no one dared to bid.

In this way, others would suffer no losses, but the profit margin of Jubao Pavilion would be reduced. Fu Haishan naturally wouldn't be happy about this.

"Master, this guy just came here a few days ago, and now he's back. Should I go warn him"

"No need!" Luo Yudie said with a faint gaze out the window, "I haven't done anything. Why are you going to warn them You'll just end up giving Ju Bao Ge a bad reputation for bullying customers."

Fu Haishan worriedly said, "But we don't have many impressive lots today. I'm afraid we won't be able to get the corresponding prices, especially Mr. Ye's pill. It's probably going to be taken by this guy at a low price."

"No, I'll handle this myself."

Luo Yudie glanced at Ye Bufan sitting in seat number 36, a playful smile appeared on her face. “Change the auction order, put the Shenyuan Dan at the beginning and let me personally bid for it.”

"Master, I'm afraid this won't work. Once He Changsheng bids, no one else will dare to participate in the auction. Wouldn't that just give that kid a bargain"

"Just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it can't happen now."

Fu Haishan's expression changed: "Master, you mean Mr. Ye Is that possible"

"We'll see if it works or not in a bit."

Luo Yudi was still smiling brightly. As the master of Ju Bao Ge, her status was high, and she had an extremely powerful backer.

Many people saw themselves with awe and respect, fearing they might displease him. Yet, that fellow showed no fear whatsoever.

He wasn't afraid of himself, let alone a pampered young master from the He family.

Soon, the people in the marketplace were nearly all seated. Time was up, and the auction officially began.

But to everyone's surprise, the one who stepped onto the stage first wasn't the usual auctioneer, but a captivating woman, the owner of Tianlang City's Ju Bao Ge - Luo Yudie.

As she took the stage, everyone in attendance rose to their feet, looking at her with awe. Even He Changsheng stood up.

After all, the status of Ju Baoge is there for all to see. They can only beg others and simply cannot afford to provoke them.

Throughout the entire marketplace, only Ye Bufan continued to sit there, playing the role of an extremely out-of-place character.

All eyes in the room turned to him with strange looks. This guy had just offended the eldest son of the He family and now he was being disrespectful to the head of the Ju Bao Pavilion. He really seemed to be courting death.

"Alright everyone, please have a seat. Welcome to today's auction at our Precious Treasures Pavilion."

Luo Yudie smiled gently at the audience below. This woman was truly excellent at socializing; her every word and gesture made everyone feel like they were bathed in spring sunshine.

Ladies and gentlemen, today's auction is a bit different from before. Just now, a generous benefactor donated a very precious pill. Because it is so valuable, I will personally be conducting the auction for it.

She spoke, and with a gesture summoned a maid who approached carrying a tray covered in red silk.

Luo Yudie is truly a business genius. With just a few words, she piqued everyone's curiosity and made them eager to know what kind of elixir could prompt the pavilion master herself to take the stage and preside over the auction. 20,000 lower-grade Xianjing was a huge sum for her, she couldn't bear to give it up, but if she didn't, she had lost the gamble anyway."Well, are you going to pay up or what I won't hesitate to take...
