Chapter 651: Chapter 521 Interesting_2
She had always thought herself unparalleled in beauty, but the girl before her was stunning enough to take her breath away.
"Not bad!"
Lin Feng nodded, his arm sweeping out to retrieve all thirty items.
"Elder Ming Yu, please give me a price!" With another gesture, Lin Feng sent all thirty items flying towards Ming Yu.
Ming Yu nodded and began to examine each one.
After a long while, having inspected them all, Ming Yu pondered for a moment and smiled, "Young Master, we have eight Low Grade Level Five Weapons, seven Middle Grade Level Five Weapons, two Upper Grade Level Five Weapons, seven Low Grade Level Five Martial Techniques, five Middle Grade Level Five Martial Techniques, and one Upper Grade Level Five Martial Technique amongst these items. In total, they are valued at six million Middle Grade Spirit Stones."
"Six million?" Lin Feng frowned slightly upon hearing this; the price seemed too low!
A Low Grade Level Five Martial Technique or Weapon would typically be priced at around seventy to eighty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, a Middle Grade one wouldn’t be less than three hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, and an Upper Grade one would be worth at least eight or nine hundred thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
By that calculation, the total value of the thirty treasures should be more than seven million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, yet the offer was only six million!
"Young Master, are you dissatisfied with this price?" Seeing Lin Feng’s frown, the corners of Ming Yu’s mouth curled up into a smile as she inquired.
Lin Feng nodded and said, "Shouldn’t they be worth at least seven million Middle Grade Spirit Stones?"
Lin Feng didn’t want to get taken advantage of. The difference of one million Spirit Stones was too much, enough for him to break through a whole Cultivation Realm!
Hearing this, Ming Yu shook her head and replied, "Young Master, six million is already the maximum offer. Of course, if you’re not in a hurry to leave, you could entrust us at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion to auction them off. The auction price could be considerably higher."
"Auction?"
Lin Feng asked, "When will your auction take place?"
Lin Feng knew she was right; the price would definitely be much higher at an auction, it would just take more time.
"In half a month, Hundred Treasure Pavilion will hold another auction," Ming Yu said with a smile.
"Half a month!" Lin Feng pondered. He wasn’t in a rush to leave and he currently possessed nine million Middle Grade Spirit Stones, which would allow him to comfortably cultivate in Beigong City for a while. During this time, he could also focus on consolidating his cultivation and aim for another breakthrough.
"Qingxuan, how about we stay in Beigong City for half a month?" Lin Feng asked Hong Qingxuan.
"That’s fine, I’ll keep Lin Feng company here," Hong Qingxuan replied with a smile. There was nothing better for her than to spend more time with Lin Feng.
As for adventures and treasure hunting, those were secondary concerns. As the only disciple of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, she had countless Spirit Stones and treasures at her disposal.
"Okay!" Lin Feng replied with a smile upon hearing her answer.
Ming Yu’s beautiful eyes moved between Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan, her lips curving into a faint smile, "What a perfect match, a talented gentleman and a beautiful lady, such affectionate camaraderie between you two, you make me quite envious!"
As an Elder of the Hundred Treasure Pavilion and someone with True Xuan Realm cultivation, Ming Yu could naturally discern the depth of Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan’s abilities. Given their young age, to possess such cultivation, they were undoubtedly peerless geniuses.
Uh!
Ming Yu’s words left Lin Feng startled, a trace of embarrassment appearing on his face.
Hong Qingxuan, even more mortified, her face flushing red, quickly bowed her head, not daring to look at Lin Feng.
"Cough, cough!"
Lin Feng coughed twice to alleviate the awkwardness and said to Ming Yu, "Elder Ming Yu, then let’s have these treasures auctioned off at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion. I’d like to know, what commission fee do you charge at the auction?"
Auction houses generally took a certain percentage as commission.
Ming Yu replied with a smile, "We will take a ten percent commission from the auction price."
"Ten percent!" Lin Feng inwardly sighed. Although he knew the commission was not insignificant, it was still unexpectedly high.
Nevertheless, even with such a rate, auctioning them was better than selling directly; these thirty treasures could potentially fetch over ten million at the auction.
"Alright, then it’s settled!"
Lin Feng nodded, then after a brief contemplation, he said, "Elder Ming Yu, I would also like to purchase a Cultivation Technique from the Hundred Treasure Pavilion."
Ming Yu responded with a coquettish smile, "Of course, the Hundred Treasure Pavilion has all kinds of Cultivation Techniques at different levels. May I know what level of Cultivation Technique does the Young Master require?"
"Level Six Cultivation Technique," Lin Feng said.
"Level Six Cultivation Technique?" Ming Yu was taken aback and exclaimed, "You actually want to buy a Level Six Cultivation Technique?"
A Level Six Cultivation Technique was a King Level skill, not something to be taken lightly, and Ming Yu had not anticipated that Lin Feng, with his True Gang Realm cultivation, would be seeking such a high-level technique.
"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded.
Ming Yu’s expression grew solemn, and after a moment of contemplation, she asked in a serious tone, "Our Hundred Treasure Pavilion only has a few Level Six cultivation techniques for sale. May I know what specific requirements you have?"
"I only need Wood Attribute techniques," Lin Feng replied.
"Wood Attribute?" Hearing this, Ming Yu lightly nodded her head and said, "There is indeed one Wood Attribute Level Six technique, but it is a Middle Grade one and I’m afraid the price may be beyond your reach!"
Lin Feng’s heart leapt with joy when he heard that there indeed was a Wood Attribute technique available. He hurriedly asked, "What’s the price?"
Ming Yu stretched out a finger and said, "The fixed price is twelve million Middle Grade Spirit Stones."
"I’ll take it!" Although the price was somewhat high, Lin Feng agreed without hesitation. Even if the price was higher, he would not refuse.
"Hehe, the young master is straightforward!"
Ming Yu chuckled at Lin Feng’s response, and said, "However, the items you auctioned earlier are not worth twelve million Middle Grade Spirit Stones. The young master will have to make up the difference."
"Hmm!" Lin Feng nodded, feeling a bit helpless in his heart. With this purchase of the technique, he would once again be broke.
Hong Qingxuan, who was sitting next to Lin Feng, noted his interest in purchasing a Wood Attribute technique and a thoughtful expression crossed her face. However, she did not speak up. Her own Wood Attribute technique was far too precious, a closely guarded secret not to be casually revealed. Despite her deep relationship with Lin Feng, she couldn’t just hand it out.
In this matter, Hong Qingxuan certainly understood the stakes.
Lin Feng’s face reflected his deep thoughts. He did not plan to bring out any more Spirit Stones and was prepared to auction off more items this time.
Once this was all settled, he would earn enough Spirit Stones and return to the Heavenly Spirit Sect to cultivate in peace, awaiting the arrival of the Nine Peaks Martial Arts Competition.
Soon after, Lin Feng bit his lip and said, "Elder Ming Yu, I would like to auction off two more techniques."
Having said that, Lin Feng flipped over his palm, revealing two Jade Scrolls, which he then handed to Ming Yu.
Ming Yu took the Jade Scrolls and after a quick glance, her heart skipped a beat, "Level Six Low Grade ’Silent Annihilation Heart Method’, Level Five Low Grade ’Wanxiang Divine Skill’."
Ming Yu was astounded, never having expected Lin Feng to actually auction off King Level techniques. The other Wanxiang Divine Skill, although only Level Five Low Grade, was a Body Refining Technique and not cheap either.
Furthermore, Ming Yu was somewhat puzzled as to why Lin Feng, already possessing King Level techniques, would want to purchase others. Could it be that he could only cultivate Wood Attribute techniques?
Although she couldn’t understand, Ming Yu did not pry further into such personal matters.
"Young master, these items will all be auctioned together in half a month."
Ming Yu’s delicate face bloomed with an enchanting smile as she handed Lin Feng a purple card, saying, "This is the invitation card to our Hundred Treasure Pavilion’s auction. I hope the young master can attend."
During the conversation, Ming Yu’s gaze continually appraised Lin Feng, privately guessing at his identity.
Anyone who could auction off King Level cultivation techniques had to be someone of no ordinary status.
Hong Qingxuan had already called out Lin Feng’s name earlier, and Ming Yu felt it faintly familiar, yet she couldn’t remember where she had heard it.
"Alright, I will be there!" Lin Feng took the invitation card and nodded.
"Then please wait a moment, young master. I will fetch the Wood Attribute technique for you." Having said that, Ming Yu stood up and left the reception hall.
Lin Feng waited patiently.
After a short while, Ming Yu returned and handed a Jade Scroll to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng immediately examined it, and after confirming it was correct, he bid farewell and left the reception hall together with Hong Qingxuan.
"Lin Feng?"
Watching Lin Feng’s retreating figure, a spark of realization suddenly shot through Ming Yu’s mind.
"The Direct Disciple of the Sky-reaching Peak Master from Heavenly Spirit Sect, the renowned peerless genius claimed to be invincible in his realm!"
At that moment, Ming Yu finally remembered Lin Feng’s identity. Wasn’t he the genius who had been rumored not long ago to have defeated Murong Wudi, the Sect Master’s Disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?
"Interesting!" A smile appeared on Ming Yu’s face.
After leaving the Hundred Treasure Pavilion, Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan found a nearby inn to stay in temporarily, waiting for the auction to conclude before leaving.
What Lin Feng and Hong Qingxuan did not realize was that, as the two of them entered the inn, a pair of eyes in the distance was fixed on them, watching intently.
"Lin Feng, no matter how heaven-defying you are, this time, I will make you die without a burial place!"
A sinister voice sounded, and then those watching eyes disappeared swiftly.
