Qingchenzi closed his eyes tightly, his brows furrowed, and fell into a long and deep thought.
Time passed by, and the atmosphere around them grew increasingly quiet.
After a long while, Qingchenzi suddenly opened his eyes, a resolute look flashing in them.
He first gave a soft snort, then a forced smile appeared on his face as he coldly said, "Heh heh! Not changing the terms? I think you're just feeling guilty!"
Having said that, Qingchenzi stared sharply at the other party and continued to question him mercilessly: "Since that's the case, do you think I would obediently do as you wish? That's just wishful thinking!"
He paused, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and continued, "If you can truly produce 10 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones, or a rare treasure of equal value, then giving you this dragon-shaped grass wouldn't be out of the question."
"But... in my opinion, you probably don't even have the ability!"
At this point, Qingchenzi turned his gaze to the Chilian Daoist beside him and said in a calm but unquestionable tone, "Fellow Daoist Chilian, I trouble you to personally investigate this person's assets!"
Upon hearing this, Daoist Chilian nodded slightly in agreement.
Then, he turned to Qin Feng and said slowly, "Fellow Daoist, please come with me to the backstage!"
It's important to understand that asset verification cannot be conducted openly and brazenly under the watchful eyes of everyone.
After all, doing so would inevitably bring Qin Feng a lot of unnecessary trouble and problems.
However, Qin Feng seemed completely unconcerned. He simply pursed his lips, waved his hand casually, and replied nonchalantly, "No need for all that trouble, we can just check right here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng reached into his pocket without hesitation and quickly pulled out a small and exquisite storage ring.
The next moment, he waved his arm, and the storage ring shot straight toward the Crimson Lotus Daoist like a meteor.
This storage ring contains 5 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones and a purple jade bottle.
Inside the purple jade bottle was a top-grade immortal pill that Qin Feng had refined at some unknown time, worth at least 5 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones.
It wasn't that Qin Feng couldn't produce 10 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones, but rather that he didn't want to be too sensational.
After all, 10 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones is equivalent to the total annual income of a first-class sect.
If he were to take it out, it would definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
Although he was not afraid, he did not want to cause any more trouble.
The Crimson Lotus Daoist caught the storage ring and then probed it with his divine sense.
In an instant, a powerful and pure energy surged forth like a tide, causing his mind to tremble.
When he finally understood the source of this energy, his expression subtly changed.
A look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, because he clearly sensed that there were actually as many as 5 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones neatly arranged inside this small storage ring!
Each one radiates a captivating spiritual glow, as if containing endless power and mystery.
The Crimson Lotus Daoist was secretly astonished. He had originally had some doubts about Qin Feng's worth, but now that the facts were right in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.
However, even though it is 5 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones, it is still 5 billion short!
Thinking of this, Daoist Chilian quickly scanned the other items in the storage ring, finally settling on an exquisite purple jade bottle.
This jade bottle is crystal clear and emits a faint purple aura, making it particularly eye-catching.
Without hesitation, he took it out and examined it carefully in his palm.
The purple jade bottle was beautifully shaped, with exquisite runes and patterns carved on its surface, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
The Crimson Lotus Daoist frowned, staring at the bottle, and wondered to himself, "Could it be that the pills in this bottle are worth fifty billion top-grade immortal spirit stones?"
But... how is that possible? Ordinary pills could never cost so much!
Unless... it's a legendary elixir of immortality!
Only an elixir of immortality could be worth such an astronomical price!
Just as Chi Lian Dao Ren was pondering to himself, the people around him also noticed the purple jade bottle in his hand.
In an instant, all eyes were drawn to his hand as if by a magnet.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the mysterious jade bottle, wondering what kind of precious and rare elixir was hidden inside.
Qingchenzi frowned slightly, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart.
His gaze then unconsciously shifted to Qin Feng, and he thought to himself, "Could this kid really possess a treasure worth 10 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones?"
At this moment, Daoist Chilian suddenly spoke up. "Qingchenzi, this storage ring contains a full fifty billion top-grade immortal spirit stones. Would you like to take a look yourself?"
Qingchenzi snorted coldly. "No need, I believe you!"
"Fellow Daoist Chi Lian, stop dawdling and quickly take out the pills from the jade bottle so everyone can see them."
The Crimson Lotus Daoist raised his eyebrows slightly and reached out his right hand toward the cap of the purple jade bottle.
With a soft "snap," the bottle cap was opened instantly, and a rich medicinal aroma immediately filled the air, as if the entire auction hall was enveloped in this fragrance.
The Crimson Lotus Daoist carefully tilted the bottle and poured out a bright red, round pill.
The pill shimmered with a captivating luster under the sunlight, resembling a dazzling ruby that drew everyone's attention.
Immediately, everyone present focused their attention on the pill in the palm of the Crimson Lotus Daoist.
Everyone's gaze was drawn to it as if by a magnet, unable to look away even for a moment.
Immediately afterward, someone in the crowd exclaimed in surprise: "This... could this be the legendary top-grade elixir?"
This statement caused an uproar, like a stone thrown into still water.
"My God! It really is a top-grade immortal pill! In my opinion, this immortal pill is worth at least 5 billion top-grade immortal spirit stones!" another person exclaimed, his voice filled with disbelief and envy.
"hiss--"
A chorus of gasps filled the air as people began to whisper amongst themselves.
"Who exactly is this person? How does he possess such a precious and rare top-grade elixir?"
"You should know that top-grade immortal pills are extremely rare. Even those renowned alchemy masters who are the supreme masters of alchemy find it extremely difficult to refine a single top-grade immortal pill!"
“Yes! Top-grade elixirs have always been priceless treasures, with no market for them!” another person chimed in, his face filled with shock and awe.
