Upon hearing Feng Rui’s voice, Qin Chen furrowed his brows. He naturally knew that Feng Rui did it intentionally. If Feng Rui truly wanted the Evil Light Fruit, he would have acted long ago. He surely wouldn’t have waited until now to make his move. "Seven hundred ten thousand." Qin Chen raised the bid once more. "Eight hundred thousand!!!" Feng Rui hesitated not in the slightest; as soon as Qin Chen’s voice fell, his own rang out. Everyone in the auction house’s pupils narrowed slightly. Some people faintly realized this seemed to be... a confrontation... Inside VIP Room No.2, Feng Rui wore a grin on his face. "Compete with me? I’ve got plenty of money!!!" Rong Xinmei felt immensely proud, as if Feng Rui’s money were hers. "For some unknown reason, that guy’s acquainted with Hong Qingya, but in my view, he’s surely just a poor boy." "Competing with our Young Master Feng is certain to end very badly." Rong Xinmei remarked from the side. "Eight hundred ten thousand." Qin Chen’s indifferent voice rang out once more. That was his final bid. If Feng Rui increased the price again, he could have it. After all, Qin Chen merely wanted to buy this single Evil Light Fruit for Little Strange. The Four-star Spirit Fruit is precious, but it’s still obtainable. Therefore, Qin Chen need not engage in such a struggle with Feng Rui. This time, Feng Rui raised the price more fiercely, directly to one million. "Who is in VIP Room No.2? A mere Evil Light Fruit, yet they bid one million?" "One million could buy a Five-star Spiritual Fruit!" The hall was filled with exclamations. "As expected of Young Master Feng, spending one million on an Evil Light Fruit, if that’s the case, I’ll let you have it, Young Master Feng." Qin Chen smiled lightly, saying. Upon hearing Qin Chen’s words, everyone in the hall recognized Feng Rui’s identity. "Ah, it’s someone from the Feng Family, no wonder they’re so extravagant!" "Spending one million on an Evil Light Fruit, the person in VIP Room No.9, we’re not sure who they are, clearly they’re mocking the Feng family’s young master!" Feng Rui’s expression shifted slightly. "Congratulations to the guest in VIP Room No.2 for winning the Four-star Spirit Fruit, Evil Light Fruit!" Ning Wenxin smiled and congratulated. Yet Feng Rui felt a victory with no sense of accomplishment. "If you have no money, then you have no money, yet you still mock Young Master Feng." Rong Xinmei spoke beside Feng Rui. Feng Rui immediately nodded in strong agreement, his worries instantly fading away. After that, the second auction item began. It was a Healing Pill, a Four-star Elixir, named Primordial Unity Pill. Qin Chen possessed Divine Power, making such healing pills entirely useless to him. Qin Chen naturally had no interest. In the end, the Primordial Unity Pill was purchased by someone in VIP Room No.1 for one million. Similarly priced at one million, the Primordial Unity Pill evidently outstripped the Evil Light Fruit in value. Next, the third and fourth auction items went up one by one. Qin Chen did not make any moves. Not until the fifth auction item appeared. Qin Chen initially paid it little attention. However, Little Fairy’s words drew Qin Chen’s focus. Named Starving Tiger Map. On the scroll, a ferocious starving tiger was depicted, vividly lifelike. This painting’s origin was notable. It was a work by Painter Zuo QianQiu. Zuo QianQiu, not only renowned throughout the Great Origin Dynasty, but also widely esteemed across the Star Summoning Seven Dynasties. The starting bid was one million stone coins. Although the painting had great notoriety. In Qin Chen’s eyes, regardless of its origin, it was merely a painting. Thus, he didn’t initially show much interest. But Little Fairy informed him that this painting was not just a painting, but also an Array Map! Moreover, it was a Five-star Defense Array Map! However, for some unknown reason, the painting was somewhat incomplete. So, strictly speaking, it couldn’t entirely be considered a Five-star Defense Array Map. But even incomplete, it had significant usefulness to Qin Chen. A Five-star Defense Array Map could withstand attacks from a Primordial Flower Realm expert. Even incomplete, it might barely hold off. For Qin Chen, it naturally held tremendous allure. After all, if discovered that the Starving Tiger Map was not just a painting but an Array Map, the starting price could at least increase by tenfold. After all, such an item could be life-saving in critical moments. It could definitely fetch a very high price. Thus, it was an opportunity for Qin Chen. "Two hundred twenty thousand!" "Two hundred seventy thousand!" Although others were unaware that this painting was an Array Map. Painter Zuo QianQiu’s reputation remained exceptionally high. Many people were willing to purchase a painting by Zuo QianQiu to hang in their homes. It was a symbol of status. The competitors were primarily guests from the VIP rooms. A voice from VIP Room No.1 bid three million. When this voice rang out, the auction hall fell silent. The price of three million was already extremely high. After all, the Starving Tiger Map was merely a painting without any real utility. "Three hundred ten thousand!" Qin Chen’s voice echoed. No matter what, he had to get his hands on the Starving Tiger Map. "Again from VIP Room No.9?" Seeing that the voice came from VIP Room No.9. Many people looked over. Clearly, the prior confrontation between Qin Chen and Feng Rui caught their attention to Qin Chen’s side. They were all curious as to who was inside VIP Room No.9. "He’s making a move?" Inside VIP Room No.2, Feng Rui hadn’t planned to buy, but hearing Qin Chen make a move. His face instantly lit up with a smile. He directly raised the bid to an extremely high level. The auction hall once again erupted in a commotion. Someone from the Feng Family was obviously targeting the person in VIP Room No.9. It was evidently intentional. However, to everyone’s amazement. This time, the person in VIP Room No.9 also dramatically raised the price. Directly up to five million. "Competing with me for wealth, is it?" Inside VIP Room No.2, a trace of surprise crossed Feng Rui’s face. But then, a slight smile curved his lips. The voice rang out, causing yet another uproar in the auction hall. Is this what the world of the wealthy looks like? They truly treat money like it’s nothing! "If Young Master Feng bids higher." "The Starving Tiger Map will belong to Young Master Feng." Qin Chen raised the price again, directly to ten million, then intentionally remarked. VIP Room No.2, a smile appeared on Feng Rui’s face. He didn’t speak again. "I’ve swindled him out of so many stone coins, fool." Feng Rui said, quite pleased. Little did he know, purchasing an incomplete Five-star Defense Array Map for ten million stone coins meant Qin Chen had truly struck gold!
