Martial Arts Overlord
Chapter 935 - 932: Grand Wedding, Generous Gift
Ling Mei took out all the Yuan Stones she had and counted them. In total, there were 2.77 million second-grade Yuan Stones.
Pressing her red lips together, Ling Mei said to a few senior members of the Black Wind Commerce Alliance in the room, "Elder Mu, may I borrow some Yuan Stones from you?"
The enchanting purple-clothed woman smiled tenderly, reaching out her jade hand and gently tapping Ling Mei’s face, saying, "Of course you can. Our little Ling Mei is not inferior to the daughter of the Dayang Commerce Alliance in any aspect."
Her thoughts revealed, Ling Mei’s face turned a little red, her charming face showing a hint of embarrassment.
The purple-clothed woman formed a seductive curve with her red lips, gently stroked her storage ring with her jade finger, and took out a sandalwood box, saying, "Here are 100,000 second-grade Yuan Stones."
"100,000 should be enough."
Ling Mei’s beautiful eyes slightly brightened, she lifted her head and said, "2.83 million!"
"Well! 2.83 million, that’s the highest record of today’s auction. Is there anyone else willing to bid higher? Exceptional cultivation techniques are rare, and the Wild tribe’s secret liquor, Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor, is even more scarce. If you miss this opportunity, it might not come again."
Senior Diao’s excited gaze swept across the hall, 2.83 million second-grade Yuan Stones, on average, the price of both items exceeded 1.4 million, an absolute sky-high price. It’s uncertain if the record can be broken.
"Ling Mei, this fellow, has made up her mind, even nine bulls couldn’t pull her back."
Han Xuan glanced at the opposite room, smiled bitterly and shook his head, giving up the bid. As he understood Ling Mei, since she was determined to auction these two treasures, unless exceeded by the opponent’s limit, she could not possibly give up. Continuing to fight would only lead to mutual destruction.
With Han Xuan’s retreat, the entire hall fell into silence. Although Senior Diao’s words were very stirring, a bid of 2.83 million second-grade Yuan Stones was indeed too high.
Ordinary Martial Artists in the Spiritual Rotation Realm could not possibly have that many second-grade Yuan Stones. For those financially capable of bidding, spending nearly 3 million second-grade Yuan Stones on a single Profound Level Secret Manual and a sixth-grade lower-level Spiritual Medicine was somewhat not worth it. No matter how much wealth you have, it doesn’t come from strong winds, it was earned through hard work.
Seeing no one continuing to bid, Senior Diao also realized the price had hit the ceiling.
"2.83 million second-grade Yuan Stones once, 2.83 million second-grade Yuan Stones twice, 2.83 million second-grade Yuan Stones thrice. Sold! Congratulations to Miss Ling Mei!"
With a decisive bang, Senior Diao instructed the maid to send the Secret Manual and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor over.
With the auction of Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor concluded, the auction successfully came to an end. The people in the hall discussed the various exciting events of the day while making their way to the exit.
Luo Feng, Yang Wanyi, and Elder Qian still hadn’t left, as the Yuan Stones from their auctioned items hadn’t been delivered yet.
"Husband, congratulations." Yang Wanyi smiled at Luo Feng, her soft and mellow voice echoed in the room.
"What are you congratulating me for?"
Successfully obtaining Five Elements Pills and a third-grade storage ring, Washing Dragon Ring, and teasing Zhouyan a little, Luo Feng was in a good mood as he popped a purple jade grape into his mouth.
Yang Wanyi curled her red lips, smiling, said, "The value of Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor should be around 2.4 million second-grade Yuan Stones. Auctioning it for the sky-high price of 2.83 million is indeed a great success."
Luo Feng smiled slightly, this price had exceeded his expectations. Adding those Yuan Stones, the second-grade Yuan Stones on him approached 5 million, which was quite a lot more than before attending the auction.
"However, be careful. With this many Yuan Stones, watch out for robbery." Yang Wanyi teased.
"Haha, I can’t guarantee other places, but as long as we’re in Big Market City, who dares rob a guest of our Business Alliance Hall!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
With the sound of footsteps, a burst of laughter came into the room, and at the door appeared the figure of Senior Diao.
Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, she immediately greeted courteously, "Hello, Senior Diao."
Senior Diao nodded slightly and walked into the room, smiling, "Uninvited, you won’t mind, will you?"
"Of course not," Yang Wanyi chuckled softly.
"Haha, that’s good."
Senior Diao stopped, his gaze turned to Luo Feng, eyes gleaming, nodded slightly:
"Good lad, at such a young age, your cultivation has already approached the peak of the seventh level of the Spiritual Rotation Realm, your physique has reached the Spirit and Flesh Unity state, and you’ve even realized Grand Momentum, not simple at all! No wonder you could easily defeat Qian Shaofeng. When I was your age, I was far inferior to you."
Luo Feng, also observing this strong figure close to Yuan Sea Realm as mentioned by Yang Wanyi, cupped his hands and said, "Senior Diao, you’re too kind."
"Hahaha..."
Senior Diao laughed heartily, his demeanor amiable, without any arrogance of a top True Yuan Realm expert, treating Luo Feng like a younger generation, patting Luo Feng’s shoulder, and said to Yang Wanyi, "Wanyi girl, your sweetheart fits my taste, you’ve got a good eye."
Yang Wanyi’s delicate face turned a bit red, glanced at Luo Feng, a star-like gleam flashed deep in her beautiful eyes. Gently pressing her red lips, she smiled at Senior Diao, saying, "Senior Diao, you didn’t come looking for us just to praise my husband, did you?"
"Got a bit carried away and almost forgot the main matter."
Senior Diao patted his forehead, took out a first-grade storage ring, and handed it to Yang Wanyi: "Inside here are the Yuan Stones obtained from auctioning the three treasures, please check them."
Yang Wanyi took the storage ring, then a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes as she looked at Senior Diao: "Three million and thirty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones? Senior Diao, you haven’t deducted the commission yet."
In the Business Alliance Hall auctions, every treasure comes with a corresponding commission, generally five percent, three percent for VIPs. The total auction price for Dayang Commerce Alliance’s three treasures was three million and thirty thousand second-grade Yuan Stones. Yang Wanyi, being a VIP of the Business Alliance Hall, should have had nearly one hundred thousand second-grade Yuan Stones deducted as commission, but not a single Yuan Stone was missing from the storage ring.
Senior Diao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Your Yan Body Break Mountain Power and Thousand Fierce Ten Thousand Poison Liquor have boosted my Business Alliance Hall’s reputation today, so how could I still take a commission from you? Consider these Yuan Stones as my congratulatory gift for Dayang Commerce Alliance becoming the number one commerce alliance."
"Thank you, Senior Diao."
Yang Wanyi’s beautiful eyes darted as she bowed to Senior Diao and put away the storage ring. Without the commission deduction, Luo Feng could get an extra sixty to seventy thousand second-grade Yuan Stones.
"Alright, I have other matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now."
Senior Diao glanced at Yang Wanyi and Luo Feng, smilingly said to Yang Wanyi: "Don’t forget to invite me for the wedding wine on your big day. I will prepare a grand gift for you."
Yang Wanyi’s bright eyes flickered, she stepped forward to hold Luo Feng’s right hand, smilingly said: "Senior Diao, I will remember your words. But if the gift is too light, I won’t accept it."
Seeing Yang Wanyi act coyly, Luo Feng was speechless, as if she meant what she said.
"Hahaha... You little girl, years have passed, and you’re still this mischievous. Rest assured, I won’t present a common gift."
Senior Diao waved his hand, ready to leave the private room, suddenly stopped, and seriously said: "Always be cautious, with so many Yuan Stones on you, it might attract unwanted attention. It’s best for you to stay in Big Market City for a while before leaving."
"Thank you, Senior Diao, I’ll be careful." Yang Wanyi nodded.
Senior Diao nodded, turned around, and left.
Luo Feng looked at Senior Diao’s departing figure and said: "It’s hard to tell that he’s a top-tier True Yuan Realm expert."
"Hehe, Senior Diao is a peaceful person, not fond of conflict, otherwise he wouldn’t settle in Big Market City and manage the Business Alliance Hall. However, don’t be fooled by his usual demeanor, when he is enraged, even disciples of the Demon Sect would tremble with fear." Yang Wanyi smiled.
Luo Feng nodded and said: "People can’t be judged by appearances."
Yang Wanyi glanced at Luo Feng, bit her rosy lips, and suddenly said: "Husband, if we get married, what do you think Senior Diao would give us as a grand gift?"
Luo Feng smiled wryly and didn’t answer, saying: "Let’s go, back to the quarters."
With that, Luo Feng turned and left the private room.
Yang Wanyi’s gaze turned slightly annoyed, her thin brows knitted lightly, her delicate nose let out a faint snort, and she followed behind.
Elder Qian shook his head, full of smiles, following behind the two.
On the other side, an elder in a black robe stood beside the door of the private room, appearing like a ghost shadow.
Zhouyan sat on a beast-skin soft chair, face gloomy, venting by throwing purple jade grapes into his mouth one by one.
"Family Head, what should we do now? We didn’t become the number one commerce alliance, and lost the Washing Dragon Ring and Five Elements Pills. It might be a hard task to explain to the Crown Prince." The elder in black robe said.
Zhouyan’s face darkened, his eyes turned to the elder in black robe: "You ask me, how would I know!"
"Family Head, Luo Feng and the others are coming out."
The elder in black robe’s gloomy eyes watched as Luo Feng and the other three walked out of the private room.
"Luo Feng!"
Zhouyan glared, throwing the leftover grapes in his hands onto the jade plate, his face filled with a sinister killing intent.
"It’s all this bastard’s fault. If he hadn’t defeated Qian Shaofeng, our Heavenly Position Commerce Alliance would have sat on the throne of the number one commerce alliance by now, and we wouldn’t be in such a plight. This brat even competed with me for the Washing Dragon Ring and Five Elements Pills; I must kill him to quell the hatred in my heart!"
As he spoke, Zhouyan’s eyes flashed, suddenly rising excitedly from his seat, his face beamed, clapping as he said:
"Right, the Five Elements Pills and Washing Dragon Ring are in this brat’s hands. As long as we can buy the Washing Dragon Ring and Five Elements Pills from him, it should smooth things over with the Crown Prince."
The elder in black robe frowned slightly, saying: "But will he agree? We don’t have enough Yuan Stones now."
"He dares not agree! I’ve given him enough face, the missing Yuan Stones can be paid later. If he refuses, I won’t hesitate to be ruthless!"
Zhouyan laughed coldly, striding out of the private room, "Elder Qi Yuan, let’s follow them."
Outside the Business Alliance Hall, only a scattered crowd remained, Luo Feng and Yang Wanyi walked side by side, Elder Qian followed behind, the three were about to leave the plaza, heading back to the Dayang Commerce Alliance quarters.
Just as they stepped out of the Business Alliance Hall, two figures swiftly caught up to them, blocking their path.
