Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1149: Villain Tricking Another Villain?



Fei Lengyi picked up the manifest and looked at the Heptagold Origin entry. His eyes lit up. The appearance of this Heptagold Origin was truly heaven helping him. With the Heptagold Origin, it would be difficult for the Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword to not become a Transcendent Divine Weapon.

“Manor Lord, what if that person does not listen? After all, he did not give even Jiang Feng any face and dared to retaliate,” someone at the side asked uncertainly.

Fei Lengyi put down the manifest and rubbed the jadeite ring on his thumb with his right hand. A murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he replied with a smile, “That would be perfect. It will allow me to save some money.”

Inside his private room, Xiao Chen did not know that Fei Lengyi targeted him.

However, even if Xiao Chen knew, he would not care. The Solar Plume Feather that he possessed could force a Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor back. Why would he fear Fei Lengyi?

At this moment, Xiao Chen happily paid up and looked at the Fleeting Shadow Gloves excitedly. After setting his Spiritual Mark, he immediately wore them.

The Fleeting Shadow Gloves were made of extremely soft materials. A peak refining grandmaster had used excellent skills to mix many divine materials into a soft alloy.

The surface of the gloves looked as smooth as water. After Xiao Chen put them on, they left half the length of his fingers exposed, making it more convenient for him to handle things.

The backs of the gloves each had a mark. The formations for dispersing force were inlaid into the gloves there.

Within the private room, Xiao Chen tried out the gloves. When he attacked, there was not even the sound of wind; just like their name, his motions were like fleeting shadows. His hands seemed to have merged with the air, experiencing no resistance at all.

Xiao Chen’s attacking speed increased by about twenty percent. As for the effect of dissipating force, he could only test it in actual combat.

With this pair of gloves, Xiao Chen’s combat prowess rose significantly.

As long as his opponent was not someone who had been stuck at Consummation quasi-Emperor for more than ten years or one who cultivated a Profound Cultivation Technique, Xiao Chen would be able to hold his own against a Consummation quasi-Emperor. Even if he could not defeat them, he was fully confident of not getting beaten by them.

A newly advanced Great Perfection quasi-Emperor facing a Consummation quasi-Emperor on equal terms—no one would believe such a thing.

At the same time, Wang Zhen and Xia Luo, who were also in a private room of the sixth floor, clearly saw Xiao Chen wearing the Fleeting Shadow Gloves. They involuntarily revealed their murderous intent in their eyes.

“Second Young Master, is he the one?” Wang Zhen asked.

Xia Luo nodded sullenly and replied, “He is the one. To think he is this wealthy! That is somewhat unexpected.”

Smiling, Wang Zhen said, “Second Young Master, rest assured. After the auction ends, I’ll send someone to follow him. At that time, not only will we help Second Young Master teach him a lesson, but we will also help Second Young Master snatch that pair of gloves.”

A faint smile appeared on Xia Luo’s face. Then, he said, “Good. However, I do not need that pair of gloves. Even so, it would be good to give them to First Brother.”

Amid the strong undercurrents, the auction continued at a rapid pace—the many treasures sold for high prices one after another.

Now, Yang Yunfan started to introduce the Source Returning Pills that interested Xiao Chen.

He took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and said, “This is a bottle of Source Returning Pills. I believe everyone knows their effect and how effective they are, so I will not give a detailed introduction.

“There is a total of five Medicinal Pills. The starting bid is one million Black Astral Coins. Subsequent bids should be in increments of at least one hundred thousand Black Astral Coins.”

Once the bidding began, the price soared. Such a Medicinal Pill would be used to protect one’s life and turn the situation around at the crucial moment.

It was simply like a divine medicine, allowing instant recovery of Law Energy. It was impossible for people to not be interested.

“Four million Black Astral Coins.”

“Four million five hundred thousand Black Astral Coins.”

“Five million Black Astral Coins.”

“Six million Black Astral Coins.”

Eventually, every time someone raised the bid, they did so by one million, far surpassing Xiao Chen’s expectations.

However, when Xiao Chen paid careful attention, he realized that most of the people bidding were Great Perfection quasi-Emperors. Very few Consummation quasi-Emperors put up a bid.

After thinking about this further, he deduced that this Source Returning Pill probably would not have an instantaneous effect for Consummation quasi-Emperors.

“Ten million Black Astral Coins!”

Suddenly, someone directly raised the bid by four million Black Astral Coins, displaying an attitude of wanting these Medicinal Pills at all costs. This suppressed the voices of the many people wanted to place a bid.

Although the Source Returning Pill was good, it was not worth ten million Black Astral Coins.

Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the voice. The bidder was that Jiang Feng, the descendant of Jiang Heng, a great bandit of the Black Sea.

Jiang Feng needed to get these Source Returning Pills no matter what. The moment he called out a bid, he showed an imposing attitude, extinguishing several people’s hopes.

“Damn it! It is really unfair to have to compete with these heirs using wealth.”

“He sure is fortunate to have a good grandfather. Ten million Black Astral Coins is probably nothing to a Sovereign Martial Emperor.”

A group of envious quasi-Emperors could not help complaining when they heard the bid of ten million Black Astral Coins.

It was not that these quasi-Emperors did not have ten million Black Astral Coins. However, they just could not accept using ten million Black Astral Coins to buy five Source Returning Pills. That was not cost-effective.

As Jiang Feng listened to the discussions below, he revealed a cocky smile. Earlier, these people were all laughing at him.

“A bunch of country bumpkins scared silly by ten million Black Astral Coins,” Jiang Feng scoffed indifferently with a smile. He forgot that he had been shocked by Xiao Chen’s bid of ten million Black Astral Coins earlier, daunted from raising the bid.

Inside his private room, Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He wondered if he should continue to raise the bid.

The number of things that interested him was not many. However, two of the things that he liked were targeted by Jiang Feng, hence the soaring prices.

With the Fleeting Shadow Gloves, that was probably Jiang Feng purposely causing trouble. However, he should be sincere in wanting to buy these Source Returning Pills.

“Are there any more bids for the Source Returning Pills? Ten million Black Astral Coins, going once… Ten million Black Astral Coins, going twice…”

Just as Yang Yunfan was about to slam down the mallet, Xiao Chen made up his mind. Since this item interested him, he would fight for it. No matter how much it cost, he would buy it.

Otherwise, he might end up regretting it, possibly even lose his life. In that case, there was no need to save this pile of Black Astral Coins.

Xiao Chen did not wish to waste any time with this Jiang Feng. He directly said, “Twenty million Black Astral Coins!”

The horrifying bid instantly reduced the huge auction hall to dead silence.

It stunned not only the Small Perfection quasi-Emperors in the hall but also Jiang Feng. Twenty million Black Astral Coins were all he had. However, he never thought about spending all of them on these Source Returning Pills.

Earlier, Jiang Feng was just mocking the others for being country bumpkins. However, right after he said that, he got his face slapped. This was somewhat unacceptable to him.

“Damn it! If I was in Dark City, I would be able to bring out fifty million Black Astral Coins at any time. I would not need to feel this frustrated.”

Jiang Feng was so frustrated, he almost lost his temper. If not for fear of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion, he would have charged over immediately.

Xiao Chen once again felt the joys of being wealthy and overwhelming others with his riches. As he wanted, he managed to win the bid for the Source Returning Pills with a shocking twenty million Black Astral Coins.

Just as Xiao Chen received the Source Returning Pills, he heard a voice projection by his ear.

Your distinguished self is really bold. I am currently speaking on behalf of the Jadeite Mountain Manor’s Manor Lord. He hopes that you will give him some face and not participate in the bidding for the Heptagold Origin later.

When Xiao Chen heard this, a thought appeared in his head. Fei Lengyi probably did not say these words just to him alone. It looked like this Jadeite Mountain Manor’s Manor Lord was determined to obtain this Heptagold Origin.

Xiao Chen had already decided to give up on this Heptagold Origin. Whether this person sent him a voice projection or not, he would have made the same choice.

I do not have any interest in the Heptagold Origin. You can rest assured.

The person who sent the voice projection returned to Fei Lengyi’s private room and reported, “Manor Lord, I spoke to all the necessary people already. As for the one that you left special instructions about, he said that he is not going to participate in the bidding.”

When Fei Lengyi heard this, he smiled faintly. “I, Fei Lengyi, still have some prestige in Black Water City. The Lunar Palace’s people probably did not expect there to be a Heptagold Origin up for auction in the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion.

“After obtaining the Heptagold Origin today, get the Jadeite Mountain Manor’s side to make their preparations for the breakthrough to Transcendent Divine Weapon.”

“So fast? Weren’t we going to do it on the fifteenth of the next month?” the other person in the private room asked with some surprise.

Fei Lengyi said, “Since we already have the Heptagold Origin, there is no need to pay too much attention to the details. The later we do it, the more variables there will be. Accidents might happen. So it is better to do it earlier.”

Just as the sun was about to rise, the climax of the auction finally arrived. They took out the last auction item, the Heptagold Origin.

“This is the Heptagold Origin, the divine material of divine materials. This time, the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion is really lucky to be able to obtain such a treasure. I believe any quasi-Emperor would be very familiar with the value of such an item. Given that, I will not make an introduction and will immediately begin the auction. Everyone can just call out their bids.”

Yang Yunfan appeared extremely confident in this final auction item. For such a treasure to serve as the finale for the auction, even if the starting bid were zero, it would be able to fetch a high price.

“I offer twenty million Black Astral Coins. I hope everyone will give me, Fei Lengyi, some face. My Jadeite Mountain Manor’s Heavenly Cloud Jadeite Sword will be making its breakthrough to Transcendent Divine Weapon after the sun rises.

“After I obtain the Heptagold Origin, I will issue everyone here an invitation to come and observe the ritual together!”

When the auction started, Fei Lengyi, who had been silent all the while, immediately called out a bid after Yang Yunfan finished speaking. Then, he even revealed explosive news.

This news instantly set the place abuzz, shocking several people. It was too sudden.

After Fei Lengyi finished speaking, Yang Yunfan’s expression turned extremely unsightly. These words were in blatant violation of this auction’s rules, using the Jadeite Mountain Manor’s influence to disrupt the procedures of this auction.

The bid that Fei Lengyi gave was not low. Although Heptagold Origins were rare, the one on auction was only the size of a thumb. Twenty million Black Astral Coins were enough already. However, if the rules were broken, how could the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion continue doing business? People would gossip about it.

Yang Yunfan’s face immediately sank. Then, he said, “Manor Lord, doing things this way is not really appropriate.”

Fei Lengyi stood up and said, “My apologies. I have to obtain this Heptagold Origin at all costs. I am willing to add another ten million Black Astral Coins.”

Just as Yang Yunfan was about to say something, a voice projection suddenly reached his ears. The manager of the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion, who acted behind the scenes, sent word that the seller was willing to accept the price of thirty million Black Astral Coins.

After hearing this, Yang Yunfan swallowed back the words he was about to say. Then, he changed his tone and said, “Very well, I will consider this as giving the Jadeite Sovereign some face. The Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion will not cancel your rights to participate in the auction. However, the Heavenly Cauldron Pavilion is a business and will still welcome competing bids.

“If there are any friends who can offer more than thirty million Black Astral Coins, we will guarantee the safety of everyone participating in the auction. They will not be threatened by anyone else.”
