Nine Astra Skies

Chapter 556 Are You Really Going To Buy It?

~~

When the person in the private room heard the price, he took a deep breath. He did not expect ye chen to earn so much money in such a short time on the Tian Yuan continent. He and Xu Qing looked at each other. Xu Qing struggled for a moment before nodding heavily. He also felt that ye chen did not look like he would give up. Otherwise, he would not have raised the price so ruthlessly. He gritted his teeth and stated a shocking price.

"260 million!" Once he made up his mind, he gave up this time. It was enough to raise the price this high.

As soon as this price was announced, it immediately caused a commotion in the hall below. A piece of territory with a radius of six to seven kilometers was sold for 260 million Shadow Gold. This had never happened before!

The noble who sold the land was so excited that his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were shining with extreme excitement.

Yi Yan and Xu Qing could not help but hold their breaths, waiting for ye chen to continue bidding. If they bought this land at two hundred and sixty million, they would definitely suffer a loss. They only wanted to raise ye Chen's bid for the land because ye chen had bid too ruthlessly and was determined to win this land.

However, he did not expect that after he had raised the price, there was no more sound from ye Chen's side.

"260 million Shadow Gold going once." The female auctioneer announced with a charming smile when she saw that no one else was bidding.

"260 million Shadow Gold going twice, is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

There was silence below, and everyone seemed to be a little stunned.

Yi Yan and Xu Qing's hearts were already in their throats. Ye chen had not increased the price. If ye chen did not continue to increase the price, then this territory would be in their hands!

Ye chen did not want to buy the land at all? He only wanted to trick him? This was impossible! Since ye chen had raised the price so high, he definitely wanted to buy it. However, after snatching the territory from ye Chen's hands, he did not seem excited at all. Instead, his face was ashen.

"260 million Shadow Gold going thrice, sold!"

The female auctioneer's final bid was like a Thunderbolt in Yi Yan and Xu Qing's ears, causing them to be unable to regain their senses for a long time. 260 million Shadow Gold, they had actually spent 260 million Shadow Gold to buy a piece of land with a radius of six to seven kilometers! They even wanted to die now!

That was almost all the money they had!

Ling Yu looked at the ashen-faced Yi Yan and Xu Qing at the side and then at ye chen in the crowd below. A playful smile flashed in his eyes. He could see that ye chen really wanted to buy the land. It was just that Yi Yan and Xu Qing had raised the price to a certain extent and ye chen had given up at the last minute, causing this land to fall into Yi Yan and Xu Qing's hands. This caused Yi Yan and Xu Qing to harm themselves instead of others. This ye chen was indeed a wonderful person.

After the dust settled, ye chen leaned back in his chair and squinted his eyes at the private room on the second floor.

phew ... Gu LAN took a deep breath and patted ye Chen's shoulder. He laughed. brother ye chen, you scared me to death just now. So-you were deliberately setting Yan and the others up! Haha, this time, they were bleeding big time! It's great!"

Ye chen smiled and shook his head."Actually, I really want to buy this land. It's just that Yi Yan and Xu Qing want it so much, so I'm too embarrassed to fight with them over it. I can only give it to them."

Did ye chen really want to buy it? Gu LAN opened his mouth. He did not know what ye chen was thinking.

He still had to buy the territory. There was still a suitable territory in the future. He believed that after this lesson, Yi Yan and the others would not dare to raise the price again.

In the private room, Yi Yan and Xu Qing had a long discussion.

"Brother Lingyu, how about I give you the territory I just bought?" Yi Yan said to Ling Yu very politely.

"Well, 260 million is too expensive. I can consider 17 million." Ling Yu muttered to himself for a moment, then said to Yi Yan and Xu Qing earnestly, " it's not that I don't want to help the two of you. Business is about making money, why do you have to make a loss for the sake of fighting?"

"Brother Lingyu is right. Then I'll transfer 170 million to brother Lingyu." The corner of Yi Yan's mouth twitched slightly. He had lost 90 million Yuan just like that. However, he could only swallow it down.

The next piece of land was also won by Ling Yu.

The eighth piece of land was closer to the sacred city and neighbored the piece that Yi Yan and the others had won. There was an official road that passed through the territory and led to the sacred city. The territory was filled with lush trees and a few large lakes. The scenery was very pleasant. The Noble's mansion was built here, but it wasn't very luxurious.

"This is the land!" Ye Chen's eyes brightened. This piece of land was more suitable to realize the plan in his heart!

"50 million!" Ling Yu was the first to bid and immediately raised the price to 50 million Shadow Gold. The crowd was already used to his overbearing wealth.

"60 million!"

"Seventy million!"

…………

Ye chen also joined in the bidding. When the price reached one hundred and fifty to one hundred and sixty million Phantom Gold, Ling Yu's bidding speed slowed down. He frowned slightly. This piece of land was not very suitable for growing the Tianyu Saint fruit. This price was almost the limit.

"180 million!" Ye chen made another bid.

brother ye chen, hehe. Gu LAN began to feel nervous again. He looked at ye chen as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Ye chen gave him a comforting look, indicating that he knew what to do.

When Yi Yan and Xu Qing saw ye Chen's determination to win again, they did not dare to deliberately raise the price. The auction just now had almost exhausted all their funds. They were afraid of falling into ye Chen's trap again, so they could only watch ye chen with hatred but there was nothing they could do.

Ling Yu looked down at ye chen and was curious. The Ling family had a secret technique to grow Tianyu Saint fruits. They could earn back the land they had spent so much on. However, what was this commoner going to do with this land?

Ling Yu relaxed his body and leaned back on the wide chair. He did not bid anymore. He wanted to see what this ye chen person wanted to do after buying the territory.

"180 million Shadow Gold, sold!" The female auctioneer gave the final word.

Ye chen heaved a sigh of relief when he finally bought a piece of land.

Gu LAN, on the other hand, could not help but smile bitterly. Why did ye chen seem to have profited from spending one hundred and eighty million Phantom Gold to buy such a territory? such a huge sum of money could easily buy a territory ten times larger in other holy cities! Moreover, in such a small piece of land, no matter what was grown or raised, it would not be able to earn back 180 million Shadow Gold!

That was 180 million Shadow Gold! Gu Lan's heart was bleeding.

Ye chen did not care about Gu Lan's pained expression. He only knew that this territory was finally in his hands. It was a large piece of land with a radius of six to seven kilometers! With such a piece of land, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to earn back 180 million?

The remaining two pieces of land were also bought by Ling Yu without a doubt. So far, out of the ten pieces of land that the noble had put up for auction, Ling Yu had won eight pieces. One piece for each word and one piece for ye chen. Yi Yan's territory had also been transferred to Ling Yu.

Among the nine territories that Ling Yu had bought, some of them were connected to ye Chen's territory. However, it was not a big deal. There were very few connecting areas and they were clearly divided.

Ling Yu glanced at the hall below. Although there had been some mishaps that caused him to spend more than one billion Shadow Gold than he had expected, it was still within an acceptable range. The eldest and second Sons of the Ling family obviously did not want him to have an easy time. Their purpose was not to buy the land, but purely to make him feel bad. So, once he raised the price to a certain extent, those people would not continue to bid. As for ye chen, who had appeared out of nowhere, the territory that ye chen had bought was not suitable for planting the Tianyu Saint fruit. Since it was not a big problem with his plan, he would let it go.

Xu Qinghe yiyan had been instigating him from the side. How could Ling Yu not understand that Xu Qinghe yiyan wanted to use him as a tool? if he was so easily used by others, he wouldn't have become the third-in-line successor of the Ling family.

However, if there was a chance, he would like to meet this commoner who had spent 180 million Shadow Gold to snatch his territory and made Xu Qinghe suffer a loss with a single word!

After the auction of the territory, the hot and sexy female auctioneer looked up at the private room with a charming smile.

"The auction has ended. Lord Lingyu asked me to pass on his message to the nobles of Yanyun sacred city. If you are interested in selling your land, you can go to him! I believe that Lord Lingyu's price will satisfy everyone."

This was simply snatching business from the auction house. However, the auction house was opened by Qi Yan, and Qi Yan had a good relationship with Ling Yu, so he would probably give Ling Yu face.

The commoners in Yanyun sacred city were starting to lose control. They demanded high salaries, which greatly reduced the profit margin of the nobles. They were not like the Ling family, who knew how to grow the Tianyu Saint fruit. Thus, they could no longer make much money in Yanyun sacred city. Many of them had thoughts of retreating.

Originally, they were a little reluctant to sell the territory, but if it was according to the price of today's auction, they would definitely sell it without hesitation. If they didn't sell it at such a price, they would be fools! Ling Yu's arrival had really solved their urgent need.

Many aristocrats who wanted to sell their territories began to contact Ling Yu. The number of people who wanted to sell their territories surprised Ling Yu. He didn't reject any of them and gobbled up all of them.

After the auction ended, ye chen and Gu LAN returned to their small courtyard.

"Brother ye chen, you're too impulsive. One hundred and eighty million Phantom Gold to buy such a territory. How are we going to earn it back? We can't grow Saint fruits like the Ling family, so we'll probably suffer a huge loss." Gu LAN smiled bitterly. He had tried to stop ye chen at the auction but ye chen had still insisted on buying it.

"Big brother Gu LAN, don't worry. I'll definitely have a way to earn it back." Ye chen said with absolute certainty, a mysterious smile on his face.

"How do we earn it back?" Gu LAN asked curiously. Could it be that ye chen also had the seeds of some rare fruit?
