—------------------—
With two immortal-grade items going up for auction in quick succession, the pace of the auction was rapid, with bids increasing by several million federal currencys at a time.
Bidding in such a setting, Feng Zaixing felt for the first time that federal currencys didn't seem to be worth much.
When a female voice from Box No. 4 shouted a bid of "one hundred million federal currencys," Feng Zaixing's eyelids twitched, and he raised the bid by twenty million.
"One hundred and twenty million federal currencys. I'll light the sky lantern."
As his words fell, the attendant responsible for hospitality in the box's eyelids twitched slightly, but he did not check whether Feng Zaixing's assets met the standard.
The staff had no objections, but Yu Xin was somewhat moved, her tone soft and carrying a hint of playfulness.
"One immortal-grade item can only be absorbed at a time for a short period. Little Feng, are you buying it for Big Sister or Na'er?"
"Na'er is still young, so of course, it's for Big Sister first. There are still other items to be auctioned later," Feng Zaixing said easily.
Yu Xin raised an eyebrow, her voice deepening as she transmitted, cautioning, "Bringing so much money, it seems Grand Master Uncle Zhen Hua spoils you a lot. Don't spend it recklessly in the future; there are many scammers nowadays."
"This wasn't given by Teacher Hua; it was sponsored by a kind Spirit Master Family Head."
Feng Zaixing smiled calmly, holding up the federal currency card Long Zhan had given him two years ago.
Thanks to the Light Dragon Family for the federal currency support; I will definitely find some benefits for that boy Long Chen in the future.
"Heaven has endowed me with talent, which will surely be of use; though a thousand gold pieces are scattered, they will return; ten thousand pieces of gold to win a beauty's smile, since ancient times, a city's ruin is not regretted; if Big Sister Yu is a scammer, then it's only because I've been out of touch for many years."
He transmitted silently, his expression serious, making Han Tianyi, whose mental force was the strongest in the box, look very strange.
This child, his talent is extraordinary!
A blush swept across Yu Xin's pretty Face, and she spat out "Nonsense," turning her head away and letting out a soft hum.
These words were pleasant to hear; her little brother finally had some conscience.
It was just a bit too exaggerated, as if she were some femme fatale. He would have to change that in the future and not talk such nonsense to others.
Na'er saw the unusual expression on Yu Xin's Face, and her adorable eyes, which could melt anyone's heart, opened wide as she asked worriedly, "Big Sister Yu, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, Na'er, don't worry..." Yu Xin shook her head gently, the brilliance in her pupils flickering.
Grandpa often said that one of the keys to the Yu Family's enduring strength was investment. Had she invested correctly this time?
..."One hundred and fifty million once, one hundred and fifty million twice, one hundred and fifty million thrice, sold!"
The auctioneer shouted three times, brought down the gavel, and announced that the autumn water dew belonged to Box No. 1, with Feng Zaixing making the payment by card on the spot.
"Although it cost an extra thirty million federal currencys, the result is very good."
Looking at the autumn water dew delivered via Advanced soul guide technology, Feng Zaixing's expression was serene; the feeling of auctioning was quite good.
Yu Xin accepted the autumn water dew, her brows filled with immense joy, and she said with a smile:
"The voice of the person you were bidding against in Box No. 4 sounds familiar to me. It's Shen Xing from the Shen Family. She has a very competitive nature, so only contending with you for thirty million means she's giving our Family Face."
The Divine Pen Spirit fights with paintings, and its combat power is closely related to mental force, so the autumn water dew, which can enhance mental force, is extremely suitable for her.
Luan Hongchen's eyes rolled, and he said, "She's currently studying at our academy. This is a case of 'a mighty flood washing away the Dragon King's temple.'"
"It's fine, not a big problem."
Feng Zaixing waved his hand, indicating he didn't care. He was already planning to take over their entire Family in a few years. Thirty million was a small sum; he would get it all back with interest later.
The Shen Family was the only Family among the Five Great Families that supported the pacifist faction, controlling the Northern Sea Army and the Mingdu Garrison among the Eight Great Legions. He was determined to obtain these two places.
Speaking of which, the Shen Family was also peculiar. All their officers graduated from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, yet they had the deepest ties with Shrek.
The eighth auctioned item was still a Heaven And Earth Treasure, a Ten-Thousand-Year Life Fruit, approximately one hundred and thirty of them, with a rich life Aura. Their total value even surpassed that of an immortal-grade item.
"As everyone knows, the Life Fruit is a miraculous plant of the desert. A lost traveler can eat one and not need water for ten days. The Ten-Thousand-Year Life Fruit has the effect of prolonging Lifespan and is of great benefit to Spirit Masters with life attributes, or even any attribute..."
The auctioneer eloquently introduced the effects of the Life Fruit. As his voice faded, the various boxes began to stir, everyone wanting to live a few more years.
"Brother, I want this," Na'er's eyes instantly sparkled. It was a time when she was growing, and she loved life energy too much.
"Bid! When it comes to federal currencys, I'm not afraid of anyone."
Feng Zaixing rubbed his hands and asked Mu Ye, "Teacher, will the Ten-Thousand-Year Life Fruit benefit your body and cultivation?"
Mu Ye was stunned by the question, his eyes immediately flickered, and he laughed heartily, "I missed the opportunity to Break through to Super Douluo. How could a Ten-Thousand-Year Life Fruit make up for that? Don't trouble yourself for me."
Luan Hongchen interjected, "The Ten-Thousand-Year Life Fruit can nourish our bodies and prolong our Lifespan, but it's impossible to increase our Origin, unless it's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Life Fruit."
Feng Zaixing nodded, said no more, and looked back at the auction stage.
For his teacher to Break through, it would still have to fall on the Tang Sect.
"The item is up for auction, starting bid, fifty million federal currencys. Please, everyone."
On the auction stage, the auctioneer raised a hand, inviting the major bidders to participate.
"Sixty million federal currencys, everyone, please!"
Box No. 3 was the first to speak, its voice strong and powerful, with a grand and majestic Aura, giving people the illusion of being in a temple of judgment, as if they were about to Face a sacred sword beheading, not daring to contend with it.
As the voice fell, the numerous boxes did not retreat in the slightest. Various experts spoke up to contend, one after another, quickly pushing the price past one hundred million federal currencys.
Yu Xin's expression changed slightly, and she said to everyone, "The person bidding from Box No. 3 is Le Zhengzhong, the son of Legion Commander Le. He is a Titled Douluo and is using mental force to influence the entire venue."
Han Tianyi's facial skin twitched slightly, dissolving the mental force effect, and he said faintly, "Middle Stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm. It's a bit lacking."
How dare he show off with such little mental force? It was only because he was old and good-tempered, otherwise, one backlash would kill him.
Mu Ye pouted and said, "Is someone in the Angel Family dying, or has another healing-type Angel appeared? So anxious, one would think his father was about to be buried."
"Hard to say."
Kong Yao shook his head, pondering, "His father, Le Zheng'en, is healthy and can live for another hundred or eighty years without issue. His grandfather, Le Zhengyang, doesn't have much Lifespan left, so he's probably buying it to give to his grandfather."
"Le Zhengyang? That makes sense then."
Han Tianyi said, "That old fellow, when he was young, used the 'Sacrifice' innate talent more than once to fight Evil Soul Masters, losing quite a bit of Lifespan."
Everyone understood upon hearing this.
The Sacrifice innate talent was a famous unique skill of the Sacred Angel Family, burning life force to release Sacrifice Flames, resisting all negative effects, tripling the Holy Power, and increasing combat power by more than one fold. As long as the Sacrifice Flames did not extinguish, one would not suffer any harm, making it a minor invincibility.
However, each use would take away ten years of Lifespan.
It didn't have much impact when young, but it would be very difficult when old.
Mu Ye looked at Feng Zaixing, his Face filled with worry. This Disciple of his would sooner or later go to the Sacred Angel Family, and he would definitely come into contact with the Sacrifice innate talent. At that time... huh? Why did his expression look a little excited?
Mu Ye blinked, suspecting he had seen wrong, but he knew he couldn't be wrong; Feng Zaixing's eyes clearly flickered with anticipation.
"Elder Hero Le is admirable; I'll bid for it and send some back to them."
As Feng Zaixing spoke, he used a secret technique of the Body Sect to change his voice and joined the bidding war: "One hundred and fifty million federal currencys."
As the voice fell, the expressions of several people in the box all changed. Feng Zaixing's voice had matured a lot, like a kind elder, and the owner of this voice was someone they had all encountered.
Mu Ye's eyes widened like brass bells, and he said, "Why did you use his voice?"
"I was afraid I couldn't control the situation. His elder's Face is useful. Besides, shouldn't such a good thing be sent back to honor him?"
Feng Zaixing was currently using the voice of Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua, and he took out Zhen Hua's token and handed it to Mu Ye: "I haven't mastered shapeshifting, so I'll trouble you to temporarily transform into his elder's appearance."
"Grand Master Uncle, please step in to conclude this."
"You, oh, you..."
Mu Ye shook his head with a wry smile but did not refuse. He walked into the changing room and transformed, and then there was a man in the box who looked exactly like Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua.
Mu Ye and Zhen Hua had spent many years together day and night. This disguise was so perfect that not only outsiders, but even Feng Zaixing couldn't see any flaw. Na'er even involuntarily let out an "Oh," her small mouth wide open.
Han Tianyi released his mental force to lock onto the attendant, making him forget what happened tonight. There were no cameras in the box, so there was no need to worry about recording.
With Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua's appearance, there was no reason for things not to go smoothly. After some negotiation with Box No. 3, the Le Family's Titled Douluo also had no choice but to give up.
No one suspected that Zhen Hua was fake. The core circle of the military group all knew that Yu Guanzhi and Zhen Hua were close friends, and they would certainly not think that Zhen Hua's good Disciple was so audacious as to even dare to "borrow" his teacher's identity.
Heavenly Forging consumes a lot, so it's perfectly normal for a Divine Craftsman to buy supplements to nourish his body.
Looking at the Life Fruits in hand, Yu Xin couldn't help but frown and transmitted, "You're really bold."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Feng Zaixing twirled a Life Fruit, fed one to Na'er, and then handed one to Yu Xin, saying with a smile:
"A little trick, a piece of cake. I told you that getting top-grade Heaven And Earth Treasure wasn't an empty promise."
Yu Xin took the Life Fruit and ate it, her gaze quickly changing as she transmitted, "Big Sister can go crazy with you, but tell Big Sister, is there any danger in this matter?"
