It was as Gong Yuming expected. The big drama was far from over.
After the auction of the alchemy furnace ended and three auction items passed, the auctioneer took out another item. It was a fourth-grade defensive spiritual robe. Feng Ming joined the bidding team again.
The moment people heard Feng Ming’s familiar young voice, they turned their heads to look towards VIP Room 5 in tacit understanding. Would the young master of the Wu family join this time?
If he didn’t join, Wu Yingyan would seem weaker and like he was admitting defeat to a ger.
But if he joined, it meant he would have to spend a large amount of yuan crystals.
Could he say that Feng Ming did it on purpose? For someone with poor physical fitness like Feng Ming, a fourth-grade defensive spiritual clothing was very useful.
As a father, even Feng Jinlin wished to arm his ger from head to toe.
Once Feng Ming called a price, he took out another spiritual fruit, chewed on it, and waited for the other party’s response with a smile.
Gong Yuming laughed so hard that he wanted to roll over. He wished he could whip Wu Yingyan and tell him to follow quickly.
Was Wu Yingyan a person who could stand provocation? Feng Ming saw through him at a glance.
Sure enough, when the auctioneer confirmed it, Wu Yingyan’s voice followed up. “200,000 yuan crystals.”
Many cultivators outside gasped. Wu Yingyan was so generous that he doubled the price of the auction item, which had been priced at 100,000 yuan crystals, to 200,000.
There were other cultivators who were tempted and wanted to bid for the defensive spiritual robe, such as the children of the Yuan family. However, when they saw the two people fighting again, they immediately stopped bidding. They sat in the box with arms crossed, watching the show like Gong Yuming.
There were also many people looking back and forth between the two boxes with subtle eyes.
Feng Ming didn’t disappoint the crowd watching the show. His voice rang out again. “250,000.”
The auctioneer wiped the sweat off his face and struck the hammer. “First time, Room 58 with a bit of 250,000.”
The moment this voice came out, Wu Yingyan followed up. “300,000.”
Thus, there were only two people left in the auction hall, plus the auctioneer’s voice. In fact, the auctioneer wanted to dig a hole on the stage and bury himself in it.
In the Feng family’s box, Feng Hongrui and Feng Linlang noticed that something was wrong, no matter how slow they were.
They had never seen Feng Ming or heard his voice, but it was impossible for Wu Yingyan to pick a fight with someone for no reason.
Feng Hongrui, who had previously ignored Feng Jinghuai, now asked him, “Do you know what is going on? Who is the person fighting with Young Master Wu right now?”
Feng Jinghuai wasn’t afraid and corrected him, “It isn’t that person who started a fight with Young Master Wu, but Young Master Wu who deliberately started a fight with him.”
Feng Hongrui said unhappily, “I don’t care who started the fight. It seems you know who that person is. Tell me quickly.”
Feng Songhai was unhappy about his grandson being ordered around in front of him. He looked at Feng Linlang and asked, “Linlang, do you mean the same thing?”
She let her brother order other people’s grandchildren around and didn’t take it seriously?
Feng Linlang was forced to speak up. “Hongrui, shut up. Young Master Wu doesn’t allow you or me to interfere in his actions.”
Feng Hongrui closed his mouth unwillingly and sat aside sulking.
Feng Linlang also noticed that something was wrong. It seemed that everyone in Gaoyang County knew what was going on, except the two siblings who had just returned and were kept in the dark.
She asked, “Sixth Grandpa, what is going on? Do you and Jinghuai know the identity of the other person?”
Feng Songhai nodded. “Yes, I know.”
It would be easy to find out even if he didn’t say it.
As long as Feng Hongrui went outside and caught anyone outside, he would find out the news from others.
He continued, “The one who made the bid is Feng Ming, the ger of the Feng family. He is the one who fulfilled the marriage contract with Qiaomo of the Bai family. He is your cousin. His father is my nephew. Your uncle Feng Jinlin is now the head of the Feng family in Qingyun City.
A strange look flashed across Feng Linlang’s face, and she felt a moment of discomfort.
She had been prepared, but it was still a bit sudden to hear Bai Qiaomo’s name again.
She knew that the marriage contract had been settled, so she returned to Sihong Academy with peace of mind.
She never knew that she had an uncle, and the one who fulfilled her marriage contract was the ger from that uncle’s family.
Feng Hongrui said sharply, “Impossible! Where did this person in the Feng family come from?”
Feng Songhai glanced at him calmly. “This is what the head of the family himself admitted. The head of the family won’t be mistaken about his own child.”
Feng Hongrui was extremely angry and wanted to refute it, saying that perhaps the head of the family was senile and confused.
Feng Linlang knew that her brother had an impatient temper, so she held his hand. Feng Hongrui immediately calmed down but still glared at Feng Songhai unhappily.
Feng Linlang said, “So he is our cousin. It seems that I should find time to meet my cousin and uncle. After all, we are relatives.”
Since her grandfather himself had admitted it, no one could interfere in the matter, not even her younger brother or her father.
However, this incident was really too sudden for her. After thinking about it calmly, she realized that there was no need to take it too seriously.
After all, the fact that he married an abolished person instead of her meant that he wasn’t valued too much by her grandfather, especially compared to her status in the clan.
But listening to the voice outside, he seemed quite lively and not frustrated at all. Did this person really think it was enough to get her grandfather’s approval?
Feng Linlang’s eyes were still indifferent. The tension that had just risen was replaced with ease.
It was just that when she heard this ger arguing with Wu Yingyan and bidding non-stop, Feng Linlang not only felt annoyed with Wu Yingyan but also had little affection for the ger.
In her opinion, this type of action was just to attract attention. Once he succeeded, he would become arrogant. There was no need to take such people seriously.
It was just like Bai Qiaomo. She did value this man in the past and felt that he was her best marriage partner. They would be a powerful combination.
But such a useless genius had no value at all. She couldn’t possibly sacrifice herself for a useless person.
Thus, she left without hesitation, without any delay, because she always knew what she needed.
“1 million yuan crystals going once, 1 million yuan crystals going twice, 1…”
“1.1 million.” Feng Ming’s voice was obviously provocative.
Wu Yingyan was furious. Before the auctioneer could speak, he immediately called out, “1.5 million!”
The buzz of discussion outside became louder. The young master of the Wu family was really courageous. Would the young master of the Feng family continue?
The auctioneer felt like his inner clothes were completely wet, and sweat poured down his face.
“1.6 million.” Feng Ming’s voice was light and airy.
“2 million!”
At this moment, Feng Minge’s smiling voice came out of the private room. “How generous. Then I will give it to you.”
Gong Yuming held his stomach and laughed. “Feng Ming is such a bad guy. He is really irritating.”
A member of the Gong family asked, “Did he really do it on purpose? Isn’t he afraid of Young Master Wu’s revenge later?”
Gong Yuming sneered. “Isn’t it obvious enough? Young Master Wu, if he isn’t afraid of losing face then just go ahead and take revenge.”
He continued, “Tell me, how many yuan crystals did this Young Master Wu bring out? How many times will it take for Feng Ming to drain all his yuan crystals?”
The other children didn’t want to take part in the discussion. They just watched the show silently
The master of Jinyuan Hall mercifully replaced the auctioneer. The previous auctioneer collapsed as soon as he came off the stage and asked with a sad face, “How long are these two ancestors going to keep fighting?”
The master of Jinyuan Hall was upset but could only try to make the best of a bad situation. “Look at the bright side. The more trouble they make, the higher the commission we can get.”
But thinking about it, this wouldn’t work. He said, “Let’s auction the mysterious item in advance and let other families get involved instead of just watching the fun.”
“Okay, Master.
In the corner of the lobby downstairs, there were three people who watched everything that happened in the venue with amazement. Since they came late, Feng Ming’s group hadn’t noticed them.
If he saw them, he would recognize them. They were Bai Qiaoyu and her two guards.
She hadn’t left Gaoyang County during this period. The prosperity here dazzled her and she wanted to use her identity to gain a foothold in Gaoyang County.
However, things went against her wishes. She was a first-grade alchemist, so she was admired and flattered in Qingyun City. But she was nothing in Gaoyang County.
The people who were willing to support her didn’t have much background, and the ones she liked didn’t even give her attention. This made Bai Qiaoyu very discouraged.
Seeing that the yuan crystals she brought with her were almost used up and the Jinyuan Hall auction was about to begin, she exchanged some of her resources for yuan crystals. She bought three admission tickets and entered to broaden her horizons.
Both the auction items and the prices called out by the auctioneer made her heart pound.
The cultivators here were too rich. Compared to them, she was like a country bumpkin.
What she couldn’t believe the most was that the person bidding together with the young master of the Wu family was Feng Ming from the Feng family, the Feng Ming who married Bai Qiaomo.
She didn’t dare to believe it at first, but after hearing the words that followed, she could no longer deceive herself. The owner of that voice was the Feng Ming she knew.
The two guards also couldn’t believe it. “Miss Yu, it is really Young Master Feng Ming. They actually have a private room.”
The Bai family was one of the three major families in Qingyun City, but it had to be known that such a force was nothing in Gaoyang County. But the head of the Feng family dared to challenge this Young Master Wu.
They asked other cultivators about who Young Master Wu was. It turned out that he was related to the imperial family. Feng Ming was really bold.
Bai Qiaoyu said bitterly, “What is the point of having a private room? The head of our family isn’t here, or we would also have a private room. Besides, Feng Ming is so bold that he dares to offend the Wu family. The head of the Feng family also indulges him. What good result can there be in the end?”
A guard hesitated before asking, “I heard that Feng Ming is the grandson of the head of the Feng family in Gaoyang County?”
Bai Qiaoyu almost broke her teeth to pieces as she said angrily, “You all know that Feng Ming always likes to talk nonsense. How is this possible? If so, why are they still in Qingyun City?”
It was for this reason that the guards were uncertain.
Feng Ming remained silent for the next five items to be auctioned. Bidding sounds continued in the venue, but some people felt that something was missing and it wasn’t very exciting.
Feng Ming had no idea what others were thinking. Under Bai Qiaomo’s care, he was happily drinking tea and eating nuts.
Just then, an auction staff member walked onto the stage holding a transparent box in both hands.
Feng Ming took a quick glance before immediately perking up. He pushed his father and Bai Qiaomo. “Look, look, it is the soaring dragon pill that is on the stage. I didn’t expect it to be brought out so early. I thought it was going to be the finale.”
Feng Jinlin and Bai Qiaomo weren’t really paying attention at first. Then when hearing Feng Ming’s words, they looked up and saw it was really the soaring dragon pill.
Feng Jinlin thought for a while before saying, “Maybe this result was made for you. It is good for us that it is bid for in advance.”
A smile flashed in Bai Qiaomo’s eyes.
Feng Ming snorted. “I’m not making trouble. If I don’t take away all the yuan crystals on that person surnamed Wu, what should I do if he steals the Blue Frost Spring Water from us?”
This wasn’t impossible. After the first two verifications, that person would definitely rush to bid for it. Therefore, he must not let that guy surnamed Wu ruin their good thing.
Bai Qiaomo felt warm in his heart. In fact, he knew Feng Ming’s purpose from the beginning.
Feng Ming might seem very noisy, but he wasn’t that type of person.
Feng Jinlin said with a smile, “Then the opportunity has come again.”
Feng Ming immediately rubbed his hands together. “Yes, now is the real big one. The previous two times were just a joke.”
Some people in the venue had already recognized the pill in the box, but they weren’t sure. They no longer sat there idly but stared at the transparent box handed to the auctioneer.
Along with it was a note explaining the name and efficacy of the item.
The auctioneer took a quick breath before saying passionately, “Have you seen clearly what the treasure in the box is? You aren’t mistaken. It is the soaring dragon pill. Yes, the fifth-grade soaring dragon pill that can assist the peak cultivators of the essence liquid realm to advance to the essence dan realm. It is of medium quality. What are you waiting for? There is only one soaring dragon pill left. You might not be able to wait any longer.”
The starting price is 50,000 yuan crystals. Every bid…”
“100,000 yuan crystals.” Many people’s breathing became rapid. Before the auctioneer finished explaining, some people couldn’t wait to bid.
“150,000 yuan crystals.”
“200,000.”
“300,000.”
“1 million!”
Wow, in just a few seconds, the starting price of 50,000 quickly rose to one million.
Many cultivators were forced to give up before they even had a chance to bid because they didn’t have that much wealth.
In the private rooms of the four major families, bidding sounds were heard everywhere. No one was idle.
Even Gong Yuming didn’t bother watching the show because he knew that with this soaring dragon pill and other treasures to help advance to the next level, the Gong family could have another essence dan realm master.
The stronger the Gong family, the better life would be for a second generation rich person like him. He knew what was important.
Feng Songhai of the Feng family, who had been very calm before, was now very excited and bidding against other forces.
Feng Linlang was no exception. She knew that she was only at the qi gathering realm and hadn’t reached the essence liquid realm, let alone advancing to the essence dan realm, but she was very clear about how important this soaring dragon pill was. It was because it required a fifth-grade alchemist to refine it.
Sihong Academy had a fifth-grade alchemist, but even a fifth-grade alchemist couldn’t guarantee a successful pill every time they made a move. This meant the number of pills was very small.
As far as she knew, most of them were of low quality. The current one was medium-grade.
She strongly hoped that the family would be able to bid for it. In her opinion, she was the genius of the Feng family. There was a great chance that this soaring dragon pill would fall into her hands in the future. This would be better than exchanging a low-grade soaring dragon pill from the academy at a high price.
Such a grand scene stunned Feng Ming.
“My god, these guys just said I was crazy, but look at the current situation. This is what is called crazy.”
In the blink of an eye, the price had risen to two million yuan crystals. Feng Ming was a bit overwhelmed.
“Dad, how many yuan crystals can we use now?” He was naturally happy about the high bid. This meant more yuan crystals would fall into their hands.
But he was a bit unhappy that the man surnamed Wu hadn’t joined. He wanted to make a big profit from this person.
Feng Jinlin glanced at him and reported a number. “4 million.”
Bai Qiaomo was surprised. This financial strength was beyond his expectations. It was because Feng Jinlin had no family to rely on. He only relied on himself and his subordinates to work hard. He quickly accumulated such wealth in just one or two decades.
Of course, this only included the available yuan crystals. The real estate and cultivation resources obtained in exchange weren’t taken into account.
Feng Ming sighed with relief. “Fortunately, we can also join in and play.”
Once the price reached two million, the bidding speed of various forces slowed down a lot. It was no longer one after another like before and the auctioneer had no chance to get a word in.
The auctioneer was also very excited now. “2 million yuan crystals. 2 million going once. Are there any other people who want to bid?”
“2.5 million.”
A clear voice interjected again, almost making everyone lose their concentration. It sounded so familiar.
The auctioneer was the same. A new auctioneer might’ve come up, but this auctioneer had also been watching from the audience.
He calmed himself down before announcing, “Room 58 has bid 2.5 million yuan crystals. Is there anyone who wants to follow up? 2.5 million going once…”
The number 58 touched Wu Yingyan’s nerves sensitively and directly.
However, the price was too high this time, and he couldn’t immediately follow up. He instead instructed his subordinates, “Go check whether this bastard is playing tricks on me or if he really needs the soaring dragon pill.”
“Yes, Master.”
It was great that the young master could calm down. His subordinates immediately went out of the box to inquire about information.
Not long after, the subordinate came in to report. “Master, I inquired about it. They are the father and ger of the Feng family. The one fighting with you is the ger. When his father came to Gaoyang County, he was only at the late stage essence liquid realm. But he went into seclusion not long ago. After coming out of seclusion, he was at the peak of the essence liquid realm.”
“Sure enough!” Wu Yingyan slammed against the table. “He wants to bid for this soaring dragon pill for his father? right? Hmph, he won’t get his wish as long as I am here.”
The price outside had reached 2.8 million. Wu Yingyan thought he had guessed Feng Ming’s intentions and didn’t hesitate to join the bidding team. “Three million!”
For many cultivators, it was as if the other show they had been waiting for had finally dropped.
Young Master Shao lived up to expectations and joined the fight.
Gong Yuming wasn’t in the mood to watch the show. “What the, how can this person surnamed Wu carry so many yuan crystals with him?”
“What about Feng Ming?”
Gong Yuming pondered. “It is hard to say, but he doesn’t seem like someone who has no purpose.”
Soon, someone came in to report that Feng Ming’s father had reached the peak stage of the essence liquid realm.
Some people had speculated that the reason why Feng Jinlin stayed in Gaoyang County for such a long time was to play for his advancement to the essence dan realm. It didn’t seem surprising that he was now trying to grab the soaring dragon pill.
Even Feng Songhai received the news and was a bit hesitant about whether to compete with Feng Jinlin or not.
Feng Hongrui was unhappy. What type of people were Feng Ming and his father? He would never acknowledge them as relatives. He snatched the bidding machine and said, “3.2 million.”
“3.4 million.”
“3.5 million.”
Other forces didn’t give up due to Wu Yingyan’s bid. At the critical moment involving interests, Wu Yingyan was nothing. In the blink of an eye, the offer was raised to 3.8 million.”
“4 million!” Feng Ming’s familiar voice rang out again.
Wu Yingyan was furious. “5 million!”
“Hiss~”
