Chapter 678: Chapter 678 A Face So Lethal, It Broke the Ice Saintess’s Dao Heart in Three Seconds

Perhaps this really was allowed.

Perhaps Medicine King Lin Feng simply did not care about people exchanging positions.

Once that possibility entered everyone’s minds, the atmosphere changed completely.

Suddenly, the long line no longer looked like a line.

It looked like an opportunity.

Everyone began wondering just how much someone would be willing to pay for a position near the front.

It was almost like an auction had suddenly started.

Then, someone stepped forward.

"I’ll trade places too!"

A man proudly walked toward the front of the line.

Several people immediately looked at him with interest.

The man seemed quite confident.

He pulled out a small bag and dropped it onto the ground.

"Anyone willing to give up their position will receive this reward!"

Thud!

The bag landed.

Everyone looked at it.

Then they looked at each other.

Silence.

The bag was tiny.

Very tiny.

It was nowhere near the size of the previous bag.

The man opened it proudly, revealing only a handful of ordinary spirit stones inside.

They were small and dull compared to the dazzling high-grade spirit stones offered earlier.

The crowd stared.

One second passed.

Two seconds.

Then someone burst out laughing.

"That’s your reward?"

Another cultivator nearly choked.

"Are you serious?"

The man’s confident expression immediately stiffened.

"What?"

Someone pointed toward the tiny bag.

"Brother, did you misunderstand what happened earlier?"

"Go home!"

Another cultivator laughed loudly.

"The previous fellow offered a bag full of high-grade spirit stones!"

"And you’re offering this?"

Someone picked up one of the tiny spirit stones and held it up.

"Are you trying to insult us?"

The crowd immediately erupted into laughter.

"Give us at least high-grade spirit stones!"

"And there should be many of them!"

"What can we even buy with this?"

"I’m pretty sure the bag is worth more than what’s inside it!"

The man’s face turned red.

He had clearly thought he could imitate the previous cultivator’s strategy.

Unfortunately, he had forgotten one very important detail.

The reward mattered.

The first man had offered enough high-grade spirit stones to make people seriously consider giving up their place.

This man’s handful of ordinary spirit stones couldn’t even tempt a mortal, much less the cultivators who had traveled from across the cultivation world seeking Lin Feng’s healing.

Someone shook his head sympathetically.

"Brother, you should at least understand the market before trying to start a bidding war."

"Exactly!"

"You can’t expect us to give up our place in line for a few ordinary spirit stones."

The man clenched his fists.

He had originally imagined himself becoming the second clever person to profit from the situation.

Instead, he had become the joke of the entire line.

"Go home!"

"Come back when you have a proper reward!"

"Don’t waste everyone’s time!"

The man hurriedly grabbed his little bag.

His face was burning with embarrassment.

As he retreated into the crowd, someone muttered loudly enough for everyone to hear,

"Looks like not everyone has the qualifications to be clever."

The crowd immediately burst into laughter again.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged man inside his tent quietly watched everything unfold.

He hugged his bag of high-grade spirit stones a little tighter.

A smug smile appeared on his face.

Fortunately, I acted quickly.

He had already secured his fortune.

And now, everyone else had learned an important lesson.

If they wanted someone to surrender their precious position in front of Medicine King Lin Feng, they would have to pay a price worthy of that opportunity.

***

Three hours later, it was finally that old man’s turn.

Lin Feng had naturally called for him.

From the moment he saw the old man, he could tell that this was a righteous man who had spent many years fighting the good fight in the cultivation world.

Although his cultivation was not particularly high compared to the true peak powerhouses, the righteous aura surrounding him was genuine.

The old man immediately cupped his fists and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you, Medicine King Lin Feng! I’ll call my young master immediately."

With that, he hurriedly stepped outside.

A few minutes later, a long procession entered Lin Feng’s courtyard.

At the front was an extremely handsome young man dressed in luxurious robes.

His clothes alone were enough to tell anyone that he came from an extraordinarily wealthy family.

Behind him followed a large entourage of servants, guards, attendants, and even several slaves.

The entire procession was so grand that it almost looked as though a prince had arrived to visit a legendary immortal.

Lin Feng glanced at them casually and allowed the entire group to enter.

The handsome young man eventually stepped forward and stood before him.

Lin Feng raised an eyebrow.

"Hmmm..."

He carefully examined the young man from head to toe.

Indeed, the fellow was handsome.

Very handsome.

His features were refined, his skin was flawless, and his posture was naturally elegant.

Even his smile carried the confidence of someone who had grown up surrounded by wealth and praise.

Unfortunately...

There was still one problem.

Lin Feng.

"This man is quite handsome," Lin Feng mused inwardly, stroking his chin. "But he is only the second most handsome man in the world."

He paused for a moment before adding seriously in his mind.

"He’s just a tiny bit below me. Perhaps the difference is only a few showers."

Lin Feng nodded to himself with complete confidence.

Face and charm were gifts bestowed by the heavens.

They were not things one could simply cultivate through hard work.

A person could improve their cultivation, strengthen their body, comprehend profound Dao principles, and even extend their lifespan by countless years.

But one’s natural appearance?

That was largely decided from birth.

At least, that was what Lin Feng believed.

And as someone who had been blessed with unparalleled handsomeness, he naturally had to appreciate the difference between himself and other handsome men.

The young master had no idea that while he was respectfully standing before the legendary Medicine King, Lin Feng was secretly comparing their appearances.

The young master also did the same.
