The stall owner looked around and made a subtle hand gesture.

The stall owners nearby immediately nodded to him, and a cold glint flashed in their eyes.

Xiao Mingyue had already arrived in front of Ye Feng. She stared intently at the Heavenly Star Stone in Ye Feng's hand and said, "I'm willing to pay two thousand mid-grade spirit stones for it. What do you think? This price is already quite high. Think it over carefully."

"No need to think about it," Ye Feng said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Xiao Mingyue smiled, assuming that Ye Feng had agreed to her request.

However, just as she reached out her slender hand to take the Heavenly Star Stone from Ye Feng's hand, Ye Feng put the Heavenly Star Stone into his storage ring.

Xiao Mingyue's smile froze instantly when she missed her target.

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Mingyue asked, frowning.

"My meaning is quite clear, isn't it? This Celestial Stone is useful to me, so I won't sell it to you," Ye Feng said calmly.

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Xiao Mingyue's face showed a hint of anger.

Fang Bingling was extremely nervous, and dared not even breathe loudly beside Ye Feng.

After all, this young lady from the Xiao family is not someone to be trifled with!

The Xiao family was originally a prominent family on par with the Tang family, and was a top-tier wealthy family in Fengyuan City. As the second young lady of the Fang family, she naturally felt immense pressure facing Xiao Mingyue!

“Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones!” Xiao Mingyue continued.

"Not for sale."

The night wind shook its head.

"Four thousand mid-grade spirit stones!" Xiao Mingyue raised the bid again.

Even though Xiao Mingyue had raised the price to this level, Ye Feng remained unmoved.

This Celestial Stone can be used to refine Lei Ji. Once the other materials are gathered, it may be possible to upgrade Lei Ji to the level of a magic weapon.

How could Ye Feng possibly sell it for a mere few thousand mid-grade spirit stones?

Even if Xiao Mingyue's current offer exceeds the value of the Heavenly Star Stone itself, Ye Feng will absolutely not sell it!

"Give up. No matter how high the price you offer, I won't sell it to you," Ye Feng said calmly.

“I am the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. If you sell me the Heavenly Star Stone, then you will be my friend. If you encounter any trouble, I can lend a hand!” Xiao Mingyue said emphatically.

Seeing that the spirit stones couldn't sway Ye Feng, Xiao Mingyue decided to use her status as the daughter of the Xiao family to tempt him.

But what does the Xiao family amount to?

In Ye Feng's eyes, the entire Fengyuan City was insignificant, let alone the Xiao family.

The Xiao family was just a family in Fengyuan City, and they were not even worth Ye Feng's attention.

"Bingling, let's go."

Ye Feng didn't waste any words with Xiao Mingyue, grabbed Fang Bingling's hand and walked forward.

Xiao Mingyue glared angrily at Ye Feng and shouted, "If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get another chance!"

"It doesn't matter, I don't care," Ye Feng said without turning his head.

As they spoke, the night wind had already carried Fang Bingling away.

Xiao Mingyue took several deep breaths before finally suppressing her anger.

Fang Bingling followed closely beside Ye Feng and asked, "Mr. Ye, is this stone called the Celestial Star Stone? What is it, and why does Miss Xiao want it so much?"

"Celestial Star Stone is a refining material that can help high-grade spiritual artifacts break through to higher levels," Ye Feng explained.

"I see."

Fang Bingling suddenly realized, and then said with a wry smile, "Mr. Ye, you've offended the rebellious young master, and now you've offended the eldest daughter of the Xiao family. Aren't you afraid...?"

Before Fang Bingling could finish speaking, Ye Feng said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the Xiao family is nothing in my eyes."

"Alright," Fang Bingling had no choice but to nod.

Suddenly, the night wind stopped.

Fang Bingling immediately stopped and asked in confusion, "Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"

Ye Feng did not answer Fang Bingling's question. He had a half-smile on his face: "Stop hiding, come out."

Before Ye Feng could finish speaking, four dark figures rushed out from the crowd in the alley and pounced on him.

Pedestrians in the streets were startled and hurriedly retreated in all directions.

Fang Bingling was also frightened, her face turning deathly pale.

"Bring out the Celestial Stone!"

The leader rushed up to Ye Feng and roared.

"So it was you... You already sold me the Celestial Star Stone, and now you want to take it back? You have no shame at all." Ye Feng smiled and continued, "I'll give you a chance to leave. You'd better think it over carefully."

"Since you won't hand over the Celestial Stone, don't blame us for being impolite!"

The person leading the group was the same stall owner who had just sold the Heavenly Star Stone to Ye Feng for ten mid-grade spirit stones.

After learning the true value of the Celestial Star Stone, he was filled with remorse and extreme resentment, which is why he led his accomplices to ambush and rob people on the road, hoping to take the Celestial Star Stone back.

As soon as the stall owner finished speaking, he punched Ye Feng in the nose and grabbed the storage ring on Ye Feng's left wrist with his other hand.

The other three rushed over, trying to control Ye Feng and give him no chance to escape.

However, at that very moment, a surge of true energy suddenly emanated from Ye Feng's body.

The powerful surge of true energy spread out in all directions like a tide, causing the four guys who had rushed over to be violently shaken and sent flying backward.

Moreover, while they were in mid-air, they were already spitting out blood, and even bright red blood was flowing from their nostrils and eyes!

Although the four people did not die, they were severely injured by Ye Feng's attack, with their internal organs ruptured and their bones shattered.

From that moment on, the four of them were completely useless, and it was uncertain whether they could even survive!

With a series of thuds, all four of them collapsed to the ground, none of them able to get up.

They are now filled with extreme regret.

If they had known the night wind was so strong, they would never have tried to steal it. But what's the use of regretting it now?

There's no going back in this world!

“I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. You can’t blame anyone else,” Ye Feng said, shaking his head.

Then Ye Feng didn't even glance at the four unlucky guys, and directly took Fang Bingling's hand and strode away.

Having just experienced that terrifying moment, Fang Bingling's heart was pounding like crazy.

Going out with Mr. Ye is really dangerous!

But it's also very exciting!

Fang Bingling thought to herself.

Ye Feng led Fang Bingling around the martial arts market aimlessly. Half an hour passed without them realizing it, but Ye Feng still hadn't found anything good.

But that doesn't mean there are no valuable items at this martial arts market.

On the contrary, the martial arts market is so big that there are shops and stalls everywhere, and there are many good things among them.
