King of Nine Skies-Chapter 163 - :Outrageous prices
Chapter 163: Chapter 163:Outrageous prices
The elder watched the crowd gradually become excited and finally spoke: "Alright, the starting bid for the Crimson Flame Demon Lion is five hundred medium-grade Yuanstones. Now, the auction begins."
"Boom!"
When the old man finished speaking, the tense atmosphere in the auction hall burst out. Someone immediately stood up and shouted loudly, "Medium-grade Yuan Stone, one thousand."
"Medium-grade Yuan stone, one thousand two."
"I offer one thousand five hundred medium-grade yuan stones."
Many people raised their bids one after another. But the crowd knew that this was just the beginning. The Crimson Flame Demon Lion, it was not something that could be sold off with just a couple of thousand medium-grade Yuanstones.
Lin Feng also sat calmly in the pavilion. He had underestimated the value of the Red Flame Demon Lion. However, after seeing the price offered by the powerful swordsman, he realized that the price of the Red Flame Demon Lion would be even more terrifying.
The girl sitting beside her was observing Lin Feng with an interesting gaze. The eyes of the silver mask-like mask seemed to be able to remain so calm.
"Master, how should I address you in the future?" the young girl asked Lin Feng.
"Call me what?" Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment and he casually said, "Just call me Xiao Feng, okay?"
"Master Feng, my name is Yixue." The young girl said sweetly. Lin Feng nodded slightly. In this short while, the price of the Red Flame Demon Lion had already reached three thousand medium-grade Yuanstones. Perhaps it would soon reach the price at which the Baodao was sold.
Behind Lin Feng, a young man with the surname Meng gave Lin Feng a cold glance and chuckled in his heart.
Standing up, the young man walked beside the noble area and grasped the railing, saying, "Today, this Red Flame Demon Lion, I have the confidence to win. I humbly ask all of you to show some courtesy and not to compete with me. From now on, we will be friends. If you insist on competing, in the end, you won't even be able to become friends. That would be rather bad."
Upon hearing Meng Cong's words, the crowd's gazes immediately became fixed. This scoundrel! How dare he bully people with his power? His words are undoubtedly a threat to everyone. If you want to be friends or enemies, it's up to you to decide!
Many people were staring at Meng Cong, but thinking that he was in the VIP area and acting in a respectful manner, they refrained from saying anything.
In the imperial city, there is only one noble, and his surname is Meng!
"Now, I offer you a medium-grade Yuan Stone, three thousand and one units."
Meng Cong's lips were tinged with a faint smile as he glanced at Lin Feng. If someone dared to snatch what he wanted, then he would make sure that Lin Feng couldn't even afford to pay for the yuan stones needed for the auction of the Great Sword.
From the high platform, the elder also gave Meng Cong a rather displeased glance. This fellow did such a thing, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Red Flame Demon Lion, it's mine." Just as Meng Cong showed a look of pride, a commanding voice rang out, saying: "Four thousand mid-level elemental stones."
"Who said that?" Meng Cong's face turned pale. He never expected that just as he was showing off his smugness, someone would be so rude as to make him feel embarrassed.
His gaze was cold and sharp. Meng Cong surveyed the crowd, looking for the person who had just spoken.
"I said so."
The cold and domineering voice rang out again. Then, in the crowd, a figure slowly stood up. This person had golden hair all over his head, and even his gaze was shining with golden light, extremely strange.
Seeing this person, many people's pupils contracted suddenly. It's him!

"Wild Lion!" Meng Cong's gaze contracted for a moment and narrowed.
"How about you?" The golden eyes of the fierce lion turned towards the VIP area and said coldly, causing Meng Cong's eyes to freeze again. His face turned stiff and he said, "Hehe, you are a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Since you want to hold the auction, I'll give you a face-saving gesture and won't argue with you anymore."
The fierce lion's gaze shifted away. He didn't even bother to look at Meng Cong, making Meng Cong's face even more embarrassed. His pride was completely humiliated.
"Ha!"
A mocking laugh broke out abruptly, sounding particularly harsh in the silent space. Meng Cong's gaze turned cold and he slowly turned his head, landing on Lin Feng.
"Why are you laughing?"
"I laugh at some people for their speech being even worse than their farts." Lin Feng said sarcastically. Not long ago, Meng Cong was extremely arrogant and domineering, making people afraid to argue with him. But after seeing the Wild Lion, he immediately backed off. He knew he couldn't compete with him and still spoke in such a grandiose manner, trying to give others a good impression. It was simply ridiculous to the extreme.
Wan Shiwu Gate, one of the most powerful forces in Xue Yue Kingdom, is located in the Imperial City. It is extremely formidable. Although Meng Cong's identity is extraordinary, upon seeing the people from Wan Shiwu Gate, he immediately backed off.
At this moment, Meng Cong's face had become as gloomy as it could be. Today, he had been humiliated by Lin Feng several times. Originally, he had intended to regain some face by winning the bid for the Red Flame Demon Lion. But he had suppressed the other bidders with his status. However, he never expected that he would make a fool of himself again. He encountered the Demon Lion and was further humiliated by Lin Feng with verbal abuse. Meng Cong, today, has really been humiliated to the extreme.
However, others had no time to care about his mood. The old man gave a faint smile and said on the auction platform: "Four thousand mid-grade Yuan stones. Is there still a higher bid? The Red Flame Demon Lion, the future Celestial Demon, and even those that grow into Heaven Demons capable of destroying the world, all have the potential to do so. At that time, the Snow Moon Kingdom can act as it pleases and rule with impunity."
"Four thousand five hundred medium-grade Yuan stones." As soon as the old man finished speaking with an enticing tone, someone raised the price again. Although they knew that the chances of winning the fierce lion were slim, they still had to give it a try. This was the Crimson Flame Demon Lion.
"Five thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." The fierce lion remained expressionless. Once he made up his mind about something, he would definitely do it. This was the reason why Meng Cong withdrew from the competition. It was because he understood the lion's character.
"Six thousand medium-grade Yuan stones." A black-robed elder gritted his teeth and offered the price.
"One ten-thousand-yuan stone of medium-grade jade."
The calm voice of the mad lion made the crowd shudder. When he uttered the price of ten thousand medium-grade yuan stones in his mouth, he didn't even frown.
"Surely that's why everyone says that Yunhai Sect is the weakest of the strongest forces in the Snow Moon Kingdom. It seems that this statement is indeed true."
Lin Feng secretly sighed. The Yunhai Sect had indeed been left far behind. This could be seen from the resources alone. There was no such thing as the famous Tianyi Academy which had four major elemental energy sources. The Yunhai Sect didn't have them. The Wanlv Sect, where a single disciple could easily produce ten thousand medium-grade elemental stones at a sky-high price, was a place where the Yunhai Sect used to be. In the past, the Yunhai Sect had medium-grade elemental stones that were very precious and couldn't be compared with those of the Wanlv Sect.
"Ten thousand one hundred and ten thousand Pure Essence Stones." The old man in the grey robe looked very displeased. He forced out a voice from between his teeth. Now his power had reached a bottleneck and he needed to draw on the strength of the beasts.
"15,000 medium-grade Yuan stones." The mad lion spoke again, causing a jolt in the hearts of the crowd. Then, on their faces, there appeared a bitter smile. Indeed, no one could outbid this guy. 15,000 medium-grade Yuan stones were beyond the reach of many families, let alone individuals. No one else bid any more.
Ultimately, the Crimson Flame Demon Lion was purchased by the Wild Lion at a price of 15,000 medium-grade Yuanstones.
Lin Feng's lips carried a faint smile. This price was already satisfactory to him. As for the one hundred medium-grade yuan stones he promised to reduce, no one else would care. Lin Feng, he never expected that it would be auctioned off at such an outrageous price.
He reckoned that this Fiery Flame Demon Lion could fetch no more than three or four thousand Medium-grade Yuanstones at auction.
He and Yixue went backstage together. Suddenly, someone emerged from behind the second curtain and handed a pile of medium-grade Yuan stones to Lin Feng.
"Here are ten thousand medium-grade Yuan stones. They are yours to take. Do the math yourself."
The elder said something to Lin Feng. Lin Feng smiled. There were ten thousand medium-grade yuan stones, which was more than he had expected.
Taking the yuan stones from him, the light and brilliance flickered. In an instant, those yuan stones vanished without a trace. This scene made the old man's expression darken and he gave Lin Feng a surprised look.
"It seems that I'm just getting old and my eyesight is failing."
The elder stared at Lin Feng's silver mask. He deliberately took out so many medium-grade yuan stones in an attempt to trouble Lin Feng, but he never expected that Lin Feng actually possessed a storage stone ring.
The storage stone amulet is not something that ordinary people can possess. Lin Feng, it's not that simple.
Under Lin Feng's mask, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. Without replying, the old man didn't ask any more questions either. Pointing at the big sword beside him, he said, "From now on, he's yours. Do with him as you please."
At this moment, the old man felt a little curious. Ba Dao, a martial cultivator of the Spirit Martial Realm at the sixth stage, who mastered the martial arts style, wondered how powerful Lin Feng was and whether he could subdue this slave martial cultivator.
"Come with me." Lin Feng glanced at the Great Sword of Tyranny and said in a mild tone, "Alright, let's go." Then he lifted his foot and led the way out first.
The chains on Ba Dao's body had all been unfastened. With a blank expression, he raised his feet and followed Lin Feng's steps.
After leaving the auction hall, Lin Feng paused for a moment. Then, he turned around and looked at the powerful and imposing Taibuta who had stopped in his tracks and wore an expression of cold indifference.
When the slaves, Wu Xiu and others, broke free from their shackles and were no longer bound, they would naturally have their own thoughts and no longer be so obedient. After all, they are human beings!
