It was a long while before Elder Chu finally ca back to his senses. The more he thought about it, the more he wanted to know how Lin Feng had gotten so much Scarlet Beauty, and he simply couldn’t imagine how Lin Feng had survived under the Red Needle Bee Beasts’ attacks. But after wavering repeatedly, he still didn’t open his mouth to ask. He understood that a secret like this was sothing no one would reveal; if he asked, it would instead arouse Lin Feng’s displeasure.
Putting away his shock, he thought carefully for a mont, then said to Lin Feng, "The quantity of this Scarlet Beauty you have is simply too large. I estimate only an auction in a super city could handle it, and they’d need to promote it for over a year to achieve the best effect! So my suggestion is that you don’t auction it yet. Wait until you go to a great city and then choose to auction it there—that way you can maximize your profits."
"It’s fine. What I need right now is Yuan Stones for cultivation. To be frank with you, Elder Chu, I’m different from others. For my cultivation of Transforming Yuan Gang, I need a sea’s worth of Yuan Stones. Last ti in Ning City, all the Yuan Stones I obtained were only enough for to cultivate for about a month..." Lin Feng looked at Elder Chu and said directly. What he needed now was Yuan Stones, so he’d just auction off the Scarlet Beauty in this one Heavenly Origin Treasure Box; as for the rest, it didn’t matter—he still had Scarlet Beauty in over a thousand Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes. Excluding what he’d set aside for his own won, he still had plenty that could be auctioned.
Lin Feng had never considered one thing: those Red Needle Bee Beasts were extrely rare in this Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, all hidden away in secret places. It was only because Tangyuan had found one such place—and it was a place that had never been disturbed, with over four thousand years of accumulation—that there was so much Scarlet Beauty. Otherwise, if it had been any other Red Needle Bee Beast hive, being able to find enough Scarlet Beauty to fill a single Heavenly Origin Treasure Box would already be considered high yield!
"O-one month?" After listening to Lin Feng’s words, Elder Chu froze on the spot. He thought to himself that Lin Feng was simply eating Yuan Stones. Although he didn’t know exactly how many Yuan Stones Lin Feng had when he left Ning City last ti, he estimated conservatively that it wouldn’t have been less than a hundred thousand or so. For Lin Feng to burn through that many Yuan Stones in a single month—such a cultivation thod was sothing practically no one under heaven could afford. Now he finally understood why Lin Feng needed Yuan Stones so badly. If it were any other cultivator, they would probably have already collapsed.
But since Lin Feng had spoken so plainly, he had to co up with a solution. After thinking seriously for a while, he finally said to Lin Feng, "If you urgently need Yuan Stones, I can think of a way, but there’s definitely no ti for a public auction. I can contact so of the female upper-echelon mbers inside the Myriad Gods Tower and see if they’re interested. If they decide to digest it internally, I’ll help you strive for the best possible outco. What do you think of that?"
"Alright!" When Lin Feng heard Elder Chu say this, he imdiately nodded with a smile. He actually knew that, in the short term, this was the only feasible approach. Although internal handling like this wouldn’t achieve the absolute optimal result, it had one advantage: it would allow Elder Chu to raise his status within the Myriad Gods Tower, which counted as a kind of repaynt to Elder Chu. So he agreed without the slightest hesitation.
"Good, leave this matter to ." Elder Chu replied with a smile. How could he not understand Lin Feng’s intention? So after speaking, he imdiately took out a Space Bag from his person, handed it directly to Lin Feng, and said, "This is this old man’s savings. Take it as a deposit for now. Once I’ve handled this Scarlet Beauty, we’ll settle the accounts. Your cultivation mustn’t be delayed."
Hearing this, Lin Feng didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted it, saying to Elder Chu, "Then I’ll entrust everything to you, Elder Chu."
After saying this, he turned around and left the auction house.
"Boss, you’re really that at ease handing over the Scarlet Beauty to that Elder Chu?" Tangyuan stood on Lin Feng’s shoulder. It hadn’t spoken a word before, but it had seen everything clearly, so at this mont it felt it should remind Lin Feng.
"Elder Chu is truly a clever man." Lin Feng said calmly to Tangyuan, then fell silent. He tossed the Space Bag to Tangyuan, indicating that Tangyuan should inspect it for itself.
At first Tangyuan didn’t take it seriously, but when it saw the Yuan Stones inside the Space Bag, it instantly turned into a statue on Lin Feng’s shoulder. Its two already-small eyes bulged until they were like a toad’s, and its mouth gaped wide open, yet it couldn’t make a single sound...
A h-hundred thousand Yuan Stones and more!
At this mont, Tangyuan finally understood what Lin Feng ant. To casually take out more than a hundred thousand Yuan Stones—this Elder Chu was definitely a Divine King Powerhouse. With the dignity of a Divine King Powerhouse, for him to treat a newly ascended person like Lin Feng with such an attitude could only an one thing: Elder Chu truly valued Lin Feng and wanted to befriend him. Because Elder Chu knew that Lin Feng’s future achievents would be far beyond ordinary imagination, it was precisely this foresight that determined the stance Elder Chu took—imdiately falling out with Ma Deliang over Lin Feng and absolutely refusing to betray Lin Feng.
Seeing Tangyuan like this, Lin Feng smiled faintly, put away the Space Bag, and then imdiately moved far away from Ning City. He had to use this ti to transform as much Yuangang as possible. Though a hundred years sounded like a lot, Lin Feng knew that in reality ti was still very tight. He didn’t want to waste even a single mont, not to ntion that the issues concerning the won in the Cave Heaven Mansion also needed resolving. There were too many things that required his attention...
......
On the other side, Elder Chu hesitated repeatedly inside the auction house, pondering for a very long ti, before finally contacting the Myriad Gods Tower’s Great Elder Xu Li through the Tower’s special Communication Talisman, the Exquisite Tower.
"Xiao Chu, what business do you have with this old man?" On the Exquisite Tower, the image that appeared was of the Great Elder sipping tea, smiling as he asked Elder Chu.
"Great Elder, soone has entrusted with sothing over here. I think it’s better if you personally take charge. After all, my rank is too low; I’m afraid so people might try to seize it by force." At this mont, Elder Chu spoke with utmost respect. There was a reason he chose the Great Elder. Within the Myriad Gods Tower, only the Great Elder had no Dao companion, and his character was extrely good—fair and just, recognized by everyone in the Tower. If Elder Chu himself threw the matter of the Scarlet Beauty out there, he simply wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure from all sides; it could even bring about a fatal disaster.
"Oh? What item?" Xu Li set down his teacup, smiling with great interest as he asked. He was very curious what could make Elder Chu so cautious.
"More than four hundred bottles of Scarlet Beauty..." Elder Chu clearly stated the matter of the Scarlet Beauty.
"What!" The mont Xu Li heard Elder Chu’s words, he shot up from his chair. Overwheld by surprise, he lost control of the Yuangang in his body and instantly shattered the table beside him. Then he quickly stepped up to the Exquisite Tower and asked Elder Chu seriously, "Are you certain?"
"Great Elder, of course I’m certain. I’ve already personally verified it; there’s absolutely nothing false about it." Seeing Xu Li so shocked, Elder Chu naturally understood why, so he reiterated his confirmation.
After listening, Great Elder Xu Li finally understood why Elder Chu had said this matter needed him to step forward. With more than four hundred bottles of Scarlet Beauty, if it were exposed under Elder Chu’s na and rank, it would indeed cause problems. He would definitely offend many people, and it could even lead to a fatal disaster.
After thinking for a bit, Xu Li said to Elder Chu, "Did the client make any specific requests?"
"The client’s requirent is very simple—he wants Yuan Stones, but it’s not absolute. He also needs so Alchemy Prescriptions and artifact blueprints. As for other things, he really didn’t ntion them. But I think if there are so top-grade life-saving Dharma Treasures or Elixirs, those would probably be acceptable as well." Elder Chu imdiately explained. In his mind, though, things had already been adjusted. The value of more than four hundred bottles of Scarlet Beauty was simply too terrifying. If they took it all in Spirit Stones, it wouldn’t be realistic, so he added these other items in, all of it for Lin Feng’s sake.
"Alright, leave this matter to . I’ll hold a small internal auction and handle this properly. You imdiately transmit the goods to through the special Exquisite Tower!" After hearing Elder Chu’s words, Xu Li nodded in agreent, then requested that Elder Chu transmit the Scarlet Beauty to him at once.
Hearing this, Elder Chu didn’t delay. He imdiately placed the Heavenly Origin Treasure Box beside the Exquisite Tower and activated the special Teleportation Formation attached to it. A beam of light flashed, and the Heavenly Origin Treasure Box disappeared, reappearing at Xu Li’s side. You had to know that the cost required to use this special Teleportation Formation was extrely astonishing. If it weren’t because the Scarlet Beauty was far too valuable, Elder Chu wouldn’t have chosen this thod of transport.
On the other side, Xu Li carefully inspected the Scarlet Beauty and, discovering that it was indeed genuine, imdiately said to Elder Chu, "Three days from now, once it’s done, I’ll contact you at once!"
"Then I’ll trouble you, Great Elder. Also, let tell you one thing—the client is the sa person I ntioned to you before, the one who can refine flawless Grand Quality Elixirs. For the sake of the Myriad Gods Tower’s reputation, there absolutely must not be any mishaps this ti. Otherwise, our Myriad Gods Tower will lose an important client—and this kind of client cannot be compared to ordinary ones." Elder Chu, after a slight hesitation, spoke these words. He simply wanted to draw the Great Elder’s full attention to the matter. This affair truly could not go wrong; if sothing did happen, he would have no way to explain himself to Lin Feng.
"Very well. Since you trust this old man, I’ll see this handled properly. Inside the Myriad Gods Tower, there’s no one who dares have designs on this old man." Xu Li naturally understood Elder Chu’s aning and spoke frankly. At the sa ti, his heart was greatly shaken by what Elder Chu had said. A pill master who could refine flawless Grand Quality Elixirs and could also bring out so much Scarlet Beauty—how could such a person be a re Mortal? Now he understood even better why Elder Chu said the man needed Alchemy Prescriptions and life-saving Elixirs and Dharma Treasures. For a pill master, these were the most fundantal things.
But he was even more curious as to what kind of existence the man truly was. If there was a chance, he too wanted to see what sort of extraordinary figure this man was. If it weren’t for the fact that Ning City was far too distant from him, he would have already wanted to go there personally to et this marvel...
