The analysis by Eunuch Fuq on the number of High Grade Spiritual Stones Ye Zhen possesses was conveyed to Ye Zhen through Big Ears. The analysis was quite accurate.
The estimated number was off by no more than two hundred thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.
Indeed, Ye Zhen spent three million and two hundred thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones in the previous bidding, and all the remaining stones amounted to a total of nine million and one hundred and thirty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.
If calculated based on this number, Yuann Hongying was right; Ye Zhen did engage in deceptive bidding.
However, the issue was, Ye Zhen managed to borrow three million High Grade Spiritual Stones from Ling Wangke using a vat of Five-clawed True Dragon Essence Blood.
This was the foundation of Ye Zhen’s confidence.
Nevertheless, Yuann Hongying raised the bid once more, crazily pushing it up to twelve million and four hundred thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones.
Even considering the three million High Grade Spiritual Stones borrowed from Ling Wangke, there was still a gap of thirty thousand Spiritual Stones.
However, thirty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones was not a large number. Without Ye Zhen needing to speak, Ling Qianbi handed over all forty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones she had to Ye Zhen.
Although Ye Zhen had other thods to gather thirty thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones, after contemplating, he still accepted them.
"Don’t worry, I will repay your granddaughter for these Spiritual Stones; I’m not as bad as you think." Ye Zhen said this towards Ling Wangke, who appeared rather displeased.
"Ah..."
Ling Wangke sighed deeply; he now thoroughly understood the phrase "girls go outward."
Soon, Five Immortals Hall sent two Deacons to deal with Ye Zhen, and upon verifying the quantity of Spiritual Stones, they handed over the sealed Mystical Liquid Gold to Ye Zhen.
At the sa mont, the auctioneer flashed an apologetic smile at Yuann Hongying, "Esteed guest, our Deacon has completed the transaction with the Sky-level VIP, Di Kuohai, who used his priority auction rights. He didn’t engage in deceptive bidding, rest assured."
In the Sky VIP Room, Yuann Hongying, bent over, appeared sowhat hysterical, "He didn’t engage in deceptive bidding? How is that possible?"
"How is that possible?"
"We calculated earlier based only on the inco we could discern from Di Kuohai. Given his ans, it’s normal for him to have three to four million more High Grade Spiritual Stones than we anticipated."
"I understand, but the Mystical Liquid Gold, the once-in-a-century Mystical Liquid Gold, just like that, got taken away by him." Yuann Hongying said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, a sly smile appeared at the corner of Eunuch Fuq’s mouth, "Young Master, items in this world don’t necessarily belong to the one who wins them."
Yuann Hongying looked at Eunuch Fuq with a bewildered gaze.
"After the annual auction closes, I will personally retrieve that piece of Mystical Liquid Gold for you, Young Master. For now, consider it stored with him temporarily." Eunuch Fuq said this with extre confidence, prompting Yuann Hongying to nod.
"That’s the best, but," Yuann Hongying suddenly paused, "but rember, Eunuch Fuq must not harm his life."
"Ensure he is left alive; he must live, more importantly, he must not be crippled! When the full moon night arrives, I will personally kill him to avenge this humiliation and make a na for myself!" Yuann Hongying said firmly.
Seeing Yuann Hongying’s resolve, Eunuch Fuq sighed once again and nodded.
Originally, he had thought of seizing the Mystical Liquid Gold and conveniently ending the life of Di Kuohai.
But unexpectedly, the Young Master thought of this point and explicitly instructed him, so he could only do as the Young Master ordered.
He further understood that this Di Kuohai had already beco the Young Master’s Heart Demon.
If the Young Master couldn’t personally slay Di Kuohai, then this Heart Demon would beco a major obstacle in the Young Master’s future advancent into the Dao Realm.
Now, even if Ye Zhen was standing before him, he dare not slay Ye Zhen.
Because doing so would harm the Young Master.
Strangely though, after today’s auction duel with Di Kuohai, Eunuch Fuq suddenly felt uncertain in his heart.
Originally, Eunuch Fuq had extre confidence in the Young Master’s victory in the battle with Di Kuohai during the full moon night six months later.
Now, he suddenly felt uncertain.
A bad premonition faintly erged.
Shaking his head forcefully, Eunuch Fuq vigorously expunged such thoughts from his mind.
In half a year, the Young Master would not only exert full combat power but also experience another leap in strength. Di Kuohai wouldn’t have any chance!
The entire conversation between Eunuch Fuq and Yuann Hongying was relayed word by word into Ye Zhen’s ears by Big Ears. No matter how cautious Eunuch Fuq was, he couldn’t imagine that beneath his complex Restrictions, there could be ears capable of listening to their dialogue.
In truth, Ye Zhen wasn’t at all surprised by Eunuch Fuq’s thoughts.
Ye Zhen had long considered this potentiality, thinking that not only would Eunuch Fuq pose a threat but many other strong warriors might too.
Contemplating, Ye Zhen turned his gaze toward Ling Wangke, lightly smiling, "Senior Ling, do you know how to slay Dao Realm Experts?"
"Slaying Dao Realm Experts? You kid are dreaming, right? I don’t...."
Halfway through speaking, Ling Wangke imdiately grew alert, hastily distancing himself from Ye Zhen, "Kid, don’t think I’ll help you again this ti. Once the annual auction ends, I’ll leave right away!"
You dare not try and use again!"
Reflecting on Ye Zhen’s intentions, a chill ran down Ling Wangke’s spine. This kid dared to think of using him to thwart and ambush Dao Realm Experts who might target Ye Zhen.
If he really acted, he could potentially face not one, but all strong warriors targeting Ye Zhen, rising to collectively attack him.
Perhaps, he might even face the possibility of downfall.
"Rest assured, this kid won’t die!"
Gazing at granddaughter Ling Qianbi’s pitiful gaze, Ling Wangke helplessly explained, "Do you truly think the reputation of Five Immortals Island is for nothing?
The great mass of Martial Artists at the annual Five Immortals Island auction arises from its rules emphasizing imnse custor safety, especially during the yearly auction.
Don’t worry, as long as you’re on Five Immortals Island, no one dares to harm you, not even Dao Realm Experts."
"Oh, how co?" Ye Zhen asked in bewildernt.
"You’ll understand later." Ling Wangke teased.
The auction continued. Following the Mystical Liquid Gold, Five Immortals Hall also revealed two more substantial treasures, each imnsely precious.
If possible, Ye Zhen wished to acquire each of these final treasures.
Alas, lack of Spirit Stones—Ye Zhen could only watch as others called their bids.
Of course, Ye Zhen’s yearning for these two final treasures couldn’t compare to the Mystical Liquid Gold.
Ultimately, these final two treasures fetched staggering prices of six million three hundred thousand and eight million seven hundred thousand High Grade Spiritual Stones respectively.
With the auction of these final two treasures, this year’s annual auction’s item bidding concluded.
When another auctioneer took to the stage, announcing the start of the intelligence auction and bounty assembly, Ye Zhen promptly sat upright. This was his true purpose for attending the Five Immortals Island annual auction.
