Chapter 2110: You Think I’m Afraid of You?

Summit Platform Center.

This is a giant dome-like building, resembling half an eggshell inverted on the ground, with a base diameter of ten miles. Inside, there are numerous seats and booths, capable of accommodating 100,000 people, serving as the main venue for this summit.

At the moment, a large number of cultivators are walking inside.

The steward of the True Dragon Commerce Association, Longxue Ying, had entered the venue early to host this auction.

"Humph!"

At the entrance of the venue, the Shenque City Young City Lord saw Fei Hong, Ye Feng, and others approaching. He snorted arrogantly, striding inside as if to threaten.

"Ye Feng, ignore him. Just think of it as a dog barking." Fei Hong transmitted.

"Ah, was there a dog barking just now? I clearly saw a pile of crap walking." Ye Feng grinned, making Fei Hong, Zhou Yan, and others burst into laughter.

Inside the auction hall.

People gradually took their seats.

Ye Feng, an important client of the True Dragon Commerce Association, obtained a large booth. Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, Radiant Daoist, and others entered along with him.

Fei Hong was in another booth.

He is the Young City Lord of Soaring Sky City, and since the summit is being held in his city, as one of the hosts, Fei Hong naturally has access to the top-tier booths.

Lin Daotong and other geniuses, backed by Dao Monarch overlords, each had their own private booths.

"Truly worthy of being a grand event, impressive!"

"Finally gaining some insight."

Core disciples like Chu Tianlan, Lan Die, and Yao Changsheng were present, with Mo Ying, Huo Yunjie, and others using the Door of the Outer Realm to arrive, gathering in the booth.

The large booth is 30 meters long, 15 meters wide, and 5 meters high, comfortably seating a hundred people.

Thus, more than a hundred members from the Misty Holy Sect attended.

"I feel like compared to the Origin of All Things, the Cosmic Sea is just a lower realm. Its strongest are merely Quasi-Heavenly Venerables. In the Origin of All Things, even a Quasi-Heavenly Venerable is merely a servant. One needs to have a Cultivation Level of a Heavenly Venerable to truly establish oneself and not be carted off as a slave."

Huo Yunjie expressed his sentiment.

"Yes, exactly."

"We were once frogs in a well, and now we’re little fish jumping out of our comfort zones, beginning to swim across this vast land to leap over the dragon gate, becoming Divine Dragons with unrivaled Divine Skills and showcasing the majesty of our Sect."

The disciples clenched their fists.

Those able to join Ye Feng for this summit from the Misty Holy Sect were all at the Heavenly Dao Realm.

However, as they looked around.

The main venue that could accommodate 100,000 people was filled with Heavenly Venerables; even Quasi-Heavenly Venerables and Half-Step Heavenly Venerables weren’t qualified to enter.

Over 300 Nine-Turn Heavenly Venerables at their peak were present.

Dao Monarchs, none.

Regardless if they were Dao Monarchs or Dao Venerables, they were genuinely overlord-level powerhouses who rarely appeared. Though some came to Soaring Sky City, most hid their Cultivation Aura and mingled among the crowd, having their subordinates participate in the auction instead.

In the center of the main venue, a high platform rose.

Longxue Ying, dressed in a blood-colored qipao that accentuated her explosive figure, had a smile like a breath of spring on her face as she softly spoke, "Everyone, this grand auction is about to begin, featuring up to 800 auction items, each a treasure. Welcome all fellow Daoists to participate!"

She deliberately extended her tone, her enchanting and melodious voice tingling everyone’s hearts.

"Now, let the auction begin!"

Longxue Ying wasted no words, holding an intricately crafted dragon-patterned wood mallet, she gently tapped the table and then pointed to her side, where a white-dressed maid held a tray covered with a red cloth blocking Divine Soul sensing.

"The first auction item, an essence of a Black Tortoise Divine Stone that enhances one’s foundation, is only effective for an Ordinary Invincible Supreme Venerable, capable of boosting the foundation several times. The starting price is three million Origin Stones, with a minimum increment of 100,000."

Longxue Ying introduced.

"Three million one hundred thousand." Ye Feng immediately acted. This was a treasure that could enhance the foundation, and at such a low price, he needed to secure it quickly.

"Three million two hundred thousand."

"Three million four hundred thousand."

The crowd kept bidding until the price rose to ten million, causing many to withdraw, leaving only Ye Feng and a few others.

"Eleven million!" Ye Feng said.

The others stopped bidding, and just as Longxue Ying was about to drop the hammer, a lazy voice emerged from a large booth.

"Twenty million."

This was the voice of the Shenque City Young City Lord. Everyone, recalling the previous conflict, instantly realized that the Shenque City Young City Lord was deliberately antagonizing Ye Feng.

"The Shenque City Young City Lord is threatening Ye Feng, not allowing him to participate in the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token auction is one thing, but he’s even maliciously inflating prices now, truly despicable!"

"If I were a Dao Venerable, I’d slap him dead!"

"Yes, kill this perverted bastard."

Many geniuses cursed silently, feeling that the Shenque City Young City Lord was excessively tyrannical.

"I’m out." Ye Feng directly gave up.

It’s just an essence of a Black Tortoise Divine Stone, not a necessity. In the True Dragon Commerce Association, it usually sells for about fifteen million, which is five million less than the inflated price by the Shenque City Young City Lord, so there’s no need to fight over it.

"Hmph, pauper!"

The Shenque City Young City Lord laughed loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone got even more angry, feeling that the Shenque City Young City Lord was just too domineering and disgusting; not only Ye Feng, Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, etc., but even Lin Daotong and the other neutral geniuses wanted to strangle him.

Longxue Ying kept her smile throughout, but what she was truly thinking remained unknown to those present.

"Congratulations to the Shenque City Young City Lord for acquiring this essence of a Black Tortoise Divine Stone. The next auction item is a mid-tier Heavenly Venerable Divine Weapon, the Divine Wind Paper Fan."

Tap tap tap!

Just as she finished, Longxue Ying gently tapped the table with the dragon-patterned wood mallet, and pointed to the tray held by the second maid. As the red cloth was lifted, a white paper fan enveloped by gentle wind was revealed.

"Starting price, five million Origin Stones."

"Minimum increment, 500,000."

Longxue Ying decisively set the terms.

"Five million five hundred thousand!" Someone immediately shouted, a suave young gentleman with a six-turn Heavenly Venerable Cultivation Level, a genius capable of fighting across realms.

"Six million." Someone bid.

However, not many favored paper fan-type Divine Weapons. After a short bidding war, that gentleman acquired the fan for ten million.

Soon after, the bidding continued.

With over 800 items, each averaging about a minute to bid on, plus intermissions and some essential parts, the entire event would take a full day, but everyone stayed.

Mortals need to use the restroom, but cultivators do not.

"The next item up for auction is an already dead Ancient Demon Spirit egg. Its innate talent is powerful, and upon absorption and refinement, one can gain a Demon Spirit Dao Body, greatly enhancing one’s foundation. Starting price is fifteen million, with increments of at least one million Origin Stones each. Now, let the bidding begin!"

Longxue Ying pointed to the tray.

There, a blood-red eggshell lay silently, one foot tall, its surface covered in Demon Patterns, emitting a strange aura that distorted space.

"Sixteen million." Ye Feng bid.

He needed to obtain all treasures that could enhance the foundation, and he was also short of certain materials that could assist the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree in its second transformation, which were available at the auction, so he would bid for those too.

"Twenty million." The Shenque City Young City Lord immediately raised the bid upon seeing Ye Feng participate.

This sight disgusted everyone.

"The Shenque City Young City Lord is sick; Ye Feng didn’t even really offend him, yet he raises the bid every time Ye Feng shows interest. It’s truly disgusting."

"This person deserves to die!"

The crowd shook their heads.

"Thirty million!" Fei Hong bid, having seen enough and wanting to help Ye Feng.

"Forty million!" The Shenque City Young City Lord decisively increased the bid. After all, he could now command a hundred billion Origin Stones, swimming in wealth, with an extremely swollen ego.

"Fifty million," Ye Feng shouted.

"Eighty million!" Shenque City Young City Lord laughed.

Ye Feng did not increase the bid anymore, and the Ancient Demon Spirit Stillborn was thus bought by the Shenque City Young City Lord.

"So infuriating."

"When will this person die?!"

The disciples of the Misty Holy Sect gritted their teeth.

Ye Feng waved his hand and said, "I don’t know if the Shenque City Young City Lord will die, but his arrogant and domineering nature is destined to provoke strong enemies. Just wait, the will of heaven and earth will mercilessly reap him."

The auction continued.

After a quarter of an hour.

"The next item up for auction is a spiritual medicine called Phoenix Dawn Dotted Star Grass, which has miraculous effects. It can make everyone’s blood and energy flow smoothly, condense the divine light of the phoenix dawn, and has a certain probability of giving birth to the Phoenix Bloodline. The starting price is ten million, with a minimum increment of one million."

Longxue Ying introduced.

"Eleven million," Lin Daotong from a small box bid. Just before, he had received a secret transmission from Ye Feng, so he helped Ye Feng bid for this item.

"I’ve finally waited for this kind of material." Ye Feng looked at the Phoenix Dawn Dotted Star Grass on the tray, feeling secretly excited.

It was one of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed to promote the second transformation of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree.

However, Ye Feng did not participate in the bidding.

After all, he would be targeted by the Shenque City Young City Lord.

Without any troublemaking, the Phoenix Dawn Dotted Star Grass smoothly fell into the hands of Lin Daotong, and the final price reached thirty million Origin Stones, not cheap.

Soon after, another Spirit Grass appeared.

Lin Daotong again helped Ye Feng acquire it.

Half a day later.

The auction had passed its halfway point. Ye Feng entrusted Lin Daotong to help purchase seven kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Together with the large quantity of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures bought earlier, he finally gathered all the materials needed for the second transformation of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

"When the auction ends and the delivery is complete, we can promote the transformation of the Seven-Colored Enlightenment Tea Tree."

Ye Feng anticipated secretly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the main event is here!" As time passed, they finally reached the seven-hundredth auction item, a special treasure box containing an item left by the Annihilation Dao Venerable, capable of opening the so-called tomb.

"This item is a token from the Annihilation Dao Venerable, sealed by a Dao Venerable expert, so even I don’t know what’s inside. However, I do know that this item can open the tomb of the Annihilation Dao Venerable and gain the heritage within."

Longxue Ying introduced loudly.

The crowd’s eyes couldn’t help but gleam.

If this item had not fallen into the hands of the True Dragon Commerce Association, those present would have long considered seizing it. However, with the True Dragon Commerce Association being one of the four super top-level forces in the Origin of All Things, who would dare to act rashly?

The True Dragon Commerce Association is overseen by the Boundless Venerable.

Who dares to challenge his divine might?

"This item’s starting bid is ten billion Origin Stones, each increment must not be less than fifty million. Please bid accordingly, as this item is indeed not cheap."

Longxue Ying said softly.

The crowd’s expressions changed.

Indeed, with a starting price of ten billion, the final price is likely to double or even triple. Without the backing of a Dao Monarch, who could have such resources?

"Twenty billion!" The Shenque City Young City Lord bid, directly doubling the price, determined to win.

"Twenty billion and fifty million," Ye Feng said, then yawned, "I heard someone’s determined to get the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token. Earlier, they even came to our tea party to threaten people. Seems like they have deep pockets. I want to see how much you’re willing to spend to buy this item."

These words greatly pleased the crowd.

They were all threatened by the Shenque City Young City Lord not to participate in bidding for the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token, out of fear of the opposing Dao Venerable, they dared not express their anger.

But now, Ye Feng dared to speak out.

This filled their hearts with respect, regarding Ye Feng as a hero.

"Ye Feng, are you courting death?" The Shenque City Young City Lord did not expect Ye Feng to dare to bid, his anger surging, he immediately threatened, his voice resounding throughout the venue.

"Quit your babbling. If you can’t afford it, then don’t pretend to be rich and disrupt the auction process. If you’re not increasing the bid, then get lost quickly!" Ye Feng said coldly.

Shenque City Young City Lord?

What trash!

Just relying on having a Dao Venerable level ancestor as a backer. In terms of personal strength, Zhou Yan, Tian Qi, Fei Hong, and others in the auction hall are not inferior to the Shenque City Young City Lord, but even stronger.

"Ye Feng, you’ve successfully pissed me off, this Young City Lord..." The Shenque City Young City Lord cursed angrily, but was interrupted halfway.

"Silence!" A domineering voice suddenly resounded through the entire main hall, carrying the pressure of a Dao Monarch, and reaching the peak of a Dao Monarch, extremely powerful.

It was the chief of the True Dragon Commerce Association’s branch.

Though he is only at the peak of a Dao Monarch, with the support of the True Dragon Commerce Association, he is not afraid of Shenque City’s Dao Venerable ancestor and dares to maintain order.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an auction, if you wish to argue, do so outside. In the auction hall, what matters is financial power, not martial power."

Longxue Ying also spoke, her voice cold.

This left the Shenque City Young City Lord feeling very aggrieved, he shouted and then said, "Thirty billion!"

"Thirty billion and fifty million," Ye Feng increased the bid.

"Thirty-five billion!"

"Thirty-five billion and fifty million."

Ye Feng calmly increased the bids, and every time only by the minimum of fifty million, infuriating the Shenque City Young City Lord even further, continuously raising the price.

"Bastard, I will kill you!"

The Shenque City Young City Lord roared, continuing to increase the bid.

Previously, he threatened various forces to reduce competitors, hoping to snatch the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token at a relatively low price. However, due to Ye Feng’s participation, the price soared, soon surpassing fifty billion.

"Wretched, do you have that much money?"

The Shenque City Young City Lord cursed.

Before Ye Feng could respond, Longxue Ying said, "Anyone can bid, whether they can afford the Origin Stones after the auction is another matter."

These words distorted the Shenque City Young City Lord’s face in anger, forcing him to raise the price to sixty billion.

"Sixty billion and fifty million," Ye Feng still increased the bid leisurely, always calm.

"Don’t lose your head!"

The Miaoyin Fairy hurriedly grabbed the Shenque City Young City Lord’s wrist, "Our ancestors both said to get the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token at the lowest possible price, trying not to exceed fifty billion."

"I have a hundred billion in funds, no need to worry!" The Shenque City Young City Lord snorted coldly, continuing to raise the bid.

"Seventy billion!"

Soon, the price of the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token was driven up to this level by the Shenque City Young City Lord.

"Wow, what a foolish act, spending seventy billion Origin Stones to buy the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token, I’m not bidding anymore, congratulations, haha!"

Ye Feng exited the bidding.

"You’re courting death!" The Shenque City Young City Lord’s face twisted violently, thinking he could acquire the Annihilation Dao Venerable’s token for twenty or thirty billion, but due to Ye Feng’s interference, the price went up two or threefold.

"Do you really think I’m afraid of you? Without a backing, in a battle of the same level, killing you would be like slaughtering a dog!"

Ye Feng responded coldly.

"Bastard, do you look down on me? After the auction, there’s a top genius sparring match, I will battle you at the same level and crush you underfoot!"

The Shenque City Young City Lord accepted the challenge.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng was very pleased, finally able to thrash this arrogant fool, how exciting!
