Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"I'm sure everyone has heard of the effects of the Eastern Extremity Soul-Brightening Grass. It has an excellent healing effect on the soul... The Eastern Extremity Soul-Brightening Grass is extremely rare in our Seven Immortals World; it is an absolutely rare and precious herb..."
"The Eastern Extremity Soul Grass is now officially up for auction, with a starting price of 50,000 low-grade spirit stones and each bid must be at least 1,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
Upon hearing the price, Ye Feng's lips curled into a smile.
Ye Feng has prepared over a million low-grade spirit stones for today's auction.
It seemed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass would be his for the taking, Ye Feng thought to himself.
However, Ye Feng was not in a hurry to call out a price.
Let the minor characters compete first. When the crucial moment arrives, I will strike decisively and decide the fate of the world in one fell swoop!
"I bid 52,000 low-grade spirit stones for the Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass!"
"I bid 54,000 low-grade spirit stones for the Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass!"
"Old Wang, what use do you have for the Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass? Is your soul injured?"
"Mind your own business! I bid for the Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass, one of the Four Sacred Herbs, simply to collect it. Is that not allowed?"
"Stop shouting, all of you! I will not give you this Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass!"
The competition on-site became increasingly fierce, and the number of bidders also increased.
As time went on, the price of the Eastern Extremity Soul Grass had risen to 135,000 low-grade spirit stones.
This price is more than double the original price.
However, at this price, there were only a handful of people bidding on the spot.
"President Chen, you should give up. You can't compare to me in terms of financial resources," said Qian Buduo, the portly owner of Lingyun Money Exchange, laughing loudly.
Chen Tianfeng, the president of the most famous pawnshop in Lingluo City, laughed and said, "In terms of financial resources, I am a bit inferior to you, but I heard that your Lingyun Bank seems to have run into some problems recently! In that case, is it really a good idea for you to spend so many spirit stones to bid against me?"
Qian Budu's expression immediately turned unpleasant.
Chen Tianfeng's smile grew even wider.
But just then, a young man suddenly stood up.
Who else could it be but Deng Feng, the young master of the Dalong Chamber of Commerce!
"I will offer 140,000 low-grade spirit stones to bid for this Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass!" Deng Feng said emphatically.
Qian Buduo and Chen Tianfeng were immediately startled.
On stage, Ziya's beautiful eyes revealed excitement.
After all, she gets a cut; the higher the auction price of the item, the more she gets.
Deng Feng turned around and looked at Chen Tianfeng and Qian Buduo with a smile, saying, "Master Qian, Chairman Chen, to be honest, a friend of mine's daughter was ambushed by villains and has been cursed against her soul. Therefore, I urgently need this Eastern Extremity Soul Grass to heal her."
"I'm really sorry, gentlemen, but I'm determined to have this Eastern Extremity Soul Grass! If you, Mr. Qian and Mr. Chen, are willing to give me face and let me have this Eastern Extremity Soul Grass, I, Deng Feng, will be eternally grateful! From now on, you two are friends of my Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce. If you ever have any trouble, just come to me. I, Deng Feng, will definitely not stand idly by!"
Qian Budu and Chen Tianfeng were already struggling to keep up.
Now that Deng Feng had intervened and even given them face, the two of them nodded in agreement.
"Since you've put it that way, Young Master Deng, then fine, I don't have much money, so I'll give you face today."
"I can't let Young Master Deng lose face, so in that case, I don't want this Eastern Soul Grass."
After telling Chen Tianfeng that he didn't have much money, they sat down together.
As a result, Deng Feng became the highest bidder at the entire auction.
The price he offered was 140,000 low-grade spirit stones!
Deng Feng, somewhat smug, smirked and looked at the auctioneer, Zi Ya, on the stage: "Ms. Zi Ya, shouldn't we announce the results now?"
Zi Ya then addressed the audience, saying, "Deng Feng, the young master of the Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce, has offered 140,000 low-grade spirit stones to bid for the Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass. Is there anyone who can offer a higher price? If not, this Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass, one of the Four Sacred Herbs, will belong to him!"
"140,000 for the first time! 140,000 for the second time! 140,000 for the third time—"
The deal was about to be finalized, and Ziya was about to bring down the auction hammer.
Seeing this, Deng Feng became even more smug, while the beautiful woman sitting next to him showed a delighted expression.
"Nannan, don't be afraid. Mother will soon be able to bring back the Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass to heal your wounds!"
The beautiful woman muttered to herself, her beautiful eyes slightly red and brimming with tears.
But just then, a voice suddenly rang out throughout the entire venue.
"I bid 150,000 low-grade spirit stones to bid for this Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass!"
The entire audience was shocked, and the auction hall erupted in an uproar.
Who suddenly raised the bid?
"With Deng Feng, the young master of the Great Dragon Chamber of Commerce, speaking up, who would dare to trip him up?"
"And they even added 10,000 low-grade spirit stones at once? Who's so rich that they don't treat money like money?"
Everyone present started talking and looked in the direction from which the sound came.
A young man stood quietly with a faint smile on his face.
Who else could this person be but Ye Feng!
"It was him?"
Li Honglu was very surprised, but then he showed an expression of sudden realization.
"So he suddenly appeared here because of the Eastern Extremity Bright Soul Grass!" Li Honglu said to himself.
Zhao Tianling secretly wondered, "Why is Ye Fenghua bidding so many spirit stones for the Eastern Soul-Brightening Grass? Could it be that his soul is injured?"
Deng Feng, the young master of the Dalong Chamber of Commerce, was furious at this moment.
"Night Wind, do you really have to go against me?" Deng Feng shouted, clenching his fist.
"If I offer a higher price than you, does that mean I'm going against you? Are you out of your mind? Do you think it's okay for you to bid higher than others, or for others to bid higher than you?" Ye Feng said bluntly.
Li Mingzhu smiled and said, "Mr. Ye is right. Auctions are places where the highest bidder wins. Whoever pays the most money will have the last laugh. Instead of attacking others with words, it's better to bid higher and let your strength speak for itself!"
Li Mingzhu's words immediately left Deng Feng speechless!
Deng Feng wanted to refute, but he couldn't at all. There was no way around it; what Li Mingzhu said was just too reasonable.
"Not raising the price yet? Then, Ms. Ziya, you can announce the result now." Ye Feng smiled and looked at Ziya on the stage.
Zi Ya gave Ye Feng a deep look with her bright eyes, then said, "This Mr. Ye bid 150,000 low-grade spirit stones for the Eastern Extreme Bright Soul Grass. Has anyone bid higher? 150,000 for the first time! 150,000 for the second time! 150,000 for the third time—"
