Chen Yuanji thought for a moment before continuing, "If we go back twenty years, the Wang family would definitely be the most prestigious family in Zhonghao City. But since the death of the previous head of the Wang family, Wang Zihao's father, the Wang family has lost its backbone and its people have fallen apart."
"To this day, the Wang family does not have a head of the family, and the position of head of the family is vacant."
Ye Feng smiled and said, "Wang Zihao is the eldest son of the Wang family. Shouldn't he inherit the position of family head?"
"Because he was responsible for his father's death, Wang Zihao's succession to the position of family head was quite controversial in the Wang family. Several collateral branches of the Wang family did not believe that he, the person who killed his father, was qualified to inherit the position of family head."
Seeing Ye Feng's curiosity, Chen Yuanji explained it from beginning to end.
It turns out that Wang Shanluo, the head of the Wang family, and Zhou Donglin, the second elder of the Tianyang Sect, were close friends. Twenty years ago, Zhou Donglin and Wang Shanluo went to a secret realm together, where they encountered danger.
Zhou Donglin finally managed to tear open the barrier with all his might, but he was unable to escape. However, at least he could send a message talisman from the secret realm to ask for help.
At that time, Zhou Donglin was already seriously injured, and even his storage ring was lost in the secret realm. He had no communication talisman on him.
So Wang Shanluo used her communication talisman to contact Wang Zihao.
“Wang Zihao was only thirteen years old at the time, but he was already very spoiled. When Wang Shanluo sent him the message talisman, he was riding on a woman’s belly.”
"So Wang Zihao ignored the communication talisman until the next day when he finally picked it up and checked it."
"Although the Wang family sent out all their experts to rescue Zhou Donglin and Wang Shanluo, it delayed them for a whole night, making the secret realm even more dangerous."
"Wang Shanluo's strength was inferior to Zhou Donglin's. In the end, only Zhou Donglin survived and came out of that secret realm. Wang Shanluo died inside, and his remains were never found."
Hearing Chen Yuanji's explanation, Ye Feng finally understood the relationship between the Wang family and Zhou Donglin.
Then Ye Feng glanced at Wang Zihao again.
Wang Zihao looked to be in his early twenties, but he was actually over thirty.
This is not surprising at all. There are so many elixirs in the world that can prolong life and preserve youth. With Wang Zihao's status, he could easily obtain an elixir for himself to preserve youth.
At the same time, Ye Feng finally understood why Zhou Donglin, the second elder of Tianyang Sect, was willing to sacrifice his reputation to save the life of Wang Zihao, this纨绔 (playboy).
Because Wang Shanluo had been kind to him!
Although Ye Feng couldn't guess what Zhou Donglin and Wang Shanluo had encountered in that dangerous secret realm back then, he could tell that Wang Shanluo must have sacrificed himself to protect Zhou Donglin.
Of course, none of that matters. Now that Wang Zihao has become Ye Feng's enemy, Ye Feng will not show him any mercy because of these secrets.
If Wang Zihao doesn't provoke him again, that's fine. But if this guy dares to attack him again, he will definitely get rid of Wang Zihao as soon as possible!
The auction has finally begun.
A female auctioneer in a long dress appeared on the stage.
"Welcome everyone to tonight's auction..."
The female auctioneer gave a lengthy opening speech, and it took quite a while before she finally got to the point.
"Now, please welcome the first item to the stage."
As soon as the female auctioneer finished speaking, a burly man carrying a large box walked onto the auction stage.
The box had a mechanism; when the female auctioneer pressed the mechanism on the box, a clicking sound came from inside.
Then, the box was opened on all four sides, and a yellowish-brown stone was immediately revealed to everyone.
This yellowish-brown stone was very large, weighing at least a hundred pounds, and its surface was gleaming with gold, reflecting streaks of light under the lights of the auction hall.
"This is... Celestial Crystal?"
Chen Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then became excited.
Night Wind had already recognized that this was a crystallized form of Heavenly Flow.
Celestial Crystal is an excellent material for refining artifacts and can be used to forge high-grade spiritual artifacts.
Chen Yuanji should be a weapon refiner if nothing unexpected happens, and seeing such a large piece of Heavenly Flow Crystal, he is naturally extremely excited.
Gu Lingxuan, however, did not know what the Heavenly Flow Crystal was for, so she asked curiously, "Young Master Chen, Brother Feng, what is the use of this Heavenly Flow Crystal?"
"Heavenly Flow Crystal is a refining material that can be used to refine high-grade spiritual weapons, but it can only be used to refine spiritual weapons that are more yang in nature. Spiritual weapons with yin and cold attributes cannot use Heavenly Flow Crystal," Ye Feng explained.
"I see." Gu Lingxuan suddenly realized.
Chen Yuanji said with a smile, "I didn't expect you, Junior Brother Feng, to know so much about Heavenly Flow Crystals."
"Heavenly Flow Crystal isn't some rare or extraordinary thing, of course I know about it. Besides, Heavenly Flow Crystal can also be used in medicine. It's useful for refining weapons and for alchemy. If I, an alchemist, didn't even know about Heavenly Flow Crystal, I should really find a block of tofu and smash my head against it," Ye Feng laughed.
The female auctioneer on stage also introduced the effects of this Celestial Flow Crystal, but of course, what she said was not as simple and unpretentious as what Ye Feng and Chen Yuanji had said.
The female auctioneer practically raved about the effects and value of this Celestial Flow Crystal, speaking at length for several hundred words before finally announcing: "The auction for this Celestial Flow Crystal is now officially open. The starting price is 10,000 low-grade spirit stones, and each bid must be at least 1,000 low-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as the female auctioneer finished speaking, many martial artists in the audience put up bids.
"I'll offer ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
"Thirteen thousand!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
"Sixteen thousand!"
In a short while, the auction price of this Heavenly Flow Crystal was driven up to 30,000 low-grade spirit stones.
But the momentum shows no signs of stopping.
Ye Feng asked with a smile, "Senior Brother Chen, aren't you very interested? Don't you plan to bid?"
"Of course I intend to bid, but it's not the right time for me to make a move yet," Chen Yuanji said with a smile.
The price of Heavenly Flow Crystals continues to rise, finally breaking through the 50,000 low-grade spirit stones mark.
With prices driven up to this point, the number of guests still bidding in the hall suddenly decreased significantly.
After all, the value of this Heavenly Flow Crystal is only forty or fifty thousand spirit stones. If the price is raised further, even if the bid is successful in the end, there will definitely be a loss of spirit stones.
Many of those who come here to participate in the auction are either rich or noble, but being rich or noble doesn't mean they're brainless. They wouldn't do something as foolish as throwing money away for nothing.
Finally, only two people remained in the bidding.
One of the two men was a martial artist, who appeared to be a middle-aged man around forty years old.
