The Strongest Dandy in the City-Chapter 1260 - 1253: Boiling Over

A groundbreaking creation?

This defective product is actually being called a groundbreaking creation?

After a moment of shock, Ye Chenfeng looked at Yang Qingshan and Shui Ziyan with a strange expression. Shui Ziyan then took off a storage ring from her hand and said, "Sir, this storage ring was crafted by the Refining Sect. Please take a look at its internal space."

Ye Chenfeng took Shui Ziyan’s storage ring, examined its internal space, and finally had an epiphany. The storage rings crafted by the Refining Sect were actually smaller in space than his so-called defective product. Returning the ring to Shui Ziyan, he rasped, "So the storage rings crafted by the Refining Sect aren’t all that great after all!"

Yang Qingshan, who stood beside Shui Ziyan, grew even more respectful towards Ye Chenfeng and hurriedly said, "Sir, this storage ring that belongs to our young lady is already considered one of the Refining Sect’s finest. So, you must have been studying Space Law for quite some time now! Your achievements in Space Law definitely surpass those of the two refiners in the Refining Sect."

At those words, Ye Chenfeng was momentarily taken aback, and then inwardly began to curse Jiang Yuntian furiously. He knew those two in the Refining Sect had been studying Space Law for many years, yet their crafted storage rings were still subpar. This implied that those two Refining Sect artifact refiners were truly inferior to him in Space Law. And to think, Ye Chenfeng had barely started comprehending Space Law! This wasn’t just a case of talent—it bordered on genius-level brilliance. freewebnσvel.cøm

Understanding this, the annoyance Ye Chenfeng initially felt disappeared entirely. He spoke again. "You’ve already examined the storage ring I crafted. Can this ring be auctioned at your auction house?"

Exuding an air of seduction in every movement, Shui Ziyan, after a moment of shock, composed herself and replied with a sultry voice, "Sir, of course this storage ring can be auctioned here. By coincidence, there’s an auction currently underway, and it’s nearing its conclusion. Your storage ring would be perfect as the grand finale item."

"I’ll set the starting price for your storage ring at two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones for now. Do you have any objections, sir?"

Two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones as the starting price?

Ye Chenfeng involuntarily gulped. When he obtained that Ethereal Stone in the Divine Artifact Pavilion, although larger than average, it was at most worth about ten High Grade Spirit Stones. After all, Ethereal Stones only gained significant value when turned into storage rings. And since only the two artifact refiners in the Refining Sect could craft these rings, Ethereal Stones—while not rare in the Earth Profound Realm—weren’t particularly expensive.

A defective product starting at two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones? Considering that a raw, intact Ethereal Stone was merely worth ten High Grade Spirit Stones, how much profit could this generate? The sheer thought left Ye Chenfeng secretly astounded.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng hesitate, Shui Ziyan thought he was dissatisfied and quickly added, "Sir, if you have any concerns, feel free to voice them."

Ye Chenfeng waved his hand and said, "No need. Just do as you see fit."

Thankfully, Ye Chenfeng wasn’t someone who hadn’t experienced the world. His composure proved steadfast, and he immediately concealed his inner emotions.

After Ye Chenfeng agreed, Shui Ziyan handed the storage ring crafted by him to Yang Qingshan. "Elder Yang, please take this storage ring to the auction hall immediately."

Once Yang Qingshan left, Shui Ziyan turned to Ye Chenfeng and asked, "Sir, would you like me to take you to observe the auction event in person?"

Since Ye Chenfeng had nothing else to do, he agreed to Shui Ziyan’s suggestion with a nod.

Hunching his back slightly to maintain the appearance of an old man, Ye Chenfeng made sure not to reveal any slip-ups in front of Shui Ziyan. For some reason, he felt this seductive and beautiful woman was anything but simple.

Following Shui Ziyan, Ye Chenfeng’s eyes fell on her swaying, slender waist as she walked ahead. Internally, he cursed, "Vixen. A walking disaster."

Soon, Shui Ziyan led Ye Chenfeng into the auction hall, heading into a private VIP box on the second floor. These VIP boxes weren’t accessible to just anyone. Regular folks could only remain on the ground floor to bid. To enter a VIP box, one needed both a strong background and a substantial amount of wealth. Missing either requirement wasn’t an option.

After seating Ye Chenfeng, Shui Ziyan respectfully asked, "Sir, may I know your esteemed name and rank as an artifact refiner?"

"Hmph!" Ye Chenfeng snorted coldly and replied, "Young lady, you’re prying a little too much, aren’t you?"

Ye Chenfeng understood the principle of ’the more you say, the more mistakes you might make.’ He knew Shui Ziyan was probing him. However, Ye Chenfeng had concealed his true strength from beginning to end, leaving others completely clueless about his current abilities. Moreover, as an artifact refiner, he naturally gave Shui Ziyan and Yang Qingshan the impression that he was some incredibly skilled master.

Noticing Ye Chenfeng’s displeasure, Shui Ziyan quickly apologized, "My apologies, sir. I overstepped."

While Ye Chenfeng and Shui Ziyan conversed, the final item in the auction hall below was sold. As people prepared to leave, Yang Qingshan took to the auction stage and loudly announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, please wait. There’s still one last item to be auctioned."

Hearing this, those about to leave stopped in their tracks and began discussing in hushed tones.

"Wasn’t that Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact the final item of today’s auction? Why is Elder Yang bringing out another piece now?"

"Let’s wait for Elder Yang to reveal the mystery. I doubt such a late announcement would happen without a significant reason."

...

As the curious murmurs filled the air, Elder Yang spoke up, "Everyone, please quiet down!"

Once the hall settled into silence, Elder Yang continued, "The final item to be auctioned today is a storage ring."

Without giving the audience time to react, Elder Yang pressed on. "Rest assured, this storage ring comes from a legitimate source. We are aware that the Refining Sect forbids the private auction of their storage rings. However, this ring wasn’t crafted by the Refining Sect. Instead, it comes from a newly emerged artifact refiner in the Earth Profound Realm who has mastered Space Law. This individual is not a member of the Refining Sect."

"We’ve thoroughly inspected this storage ring and found no Refining Sect markings. Additionally, the ring’s internal space significantly surpasses those crafted by the Refining Sect by severalfold."

"I believe I’ve addressed any concerns. Now, let the bidding begin. The starting price for this storage ring is two thousand High Grade Spirit Stones, with a minimum bid increment of one thousand High Grade Spirit Stones."

Yang Qingshan’s statement caused an uproar among everyone present. A new artifact refiner in the Earth Profound Realm who mastered Space Law? Not part of the Refining Sect? More importantly, the storage ring in question boasted a space far larger than those made by the Refining Sect?

The auction hall erupted into excitement. Everyone knew the Refining Sect could only produce about a hundred storage rings each year. These rings were explicitly reserved for Sixth-Grade Sects or higher, making them a symbol of status in the Earth Profound Realm.

Many of the attendees were merchants and businesspeople. While their factions might lack power, their wealth spoke for itself. Having the chance to acquire a storage ring superior to those made by the Refining Sect was an opportunity they couldn’t pass up. In the Earth Profound Realm, owning a storage ring equated to possessing a higher status.

In that moment, the entire auction hall was brimming with anticipation. Who would have thought that a ring Ye Chenfeng deemed defective would propel the auction to its climax?
