Chapter 1045 1005: Ghost Luo Leaf

Seeing that Liuu Zhen ignored his advice, the elder at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm furrowed his brows but ultimately could only helplessly shake his head and say no more.

He understood that Liuu Zhen was now in a fit of anger and wouldn't heed his counsel.

"Damn bumpkin, lowborn..."

Liuu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold gleam flickering deep within them as he muttered curses. In his view, it was sheer dreaming and a suicidal act for a lowborn like Chen Fei to dare compete with him for something! He was the Young Palace Master of Ice Demon Palace, how could he back down?

If he truly retreated, what face would he have if word got out?

Moreover, with the bidders now having driven the price of Five-Colored Essence to a lofty ten thousand, he didn't believe the other party would still afford to continue bidding with him, acting on impulse?

"Pah, what a joke... I'd like to see what qualifications this nobody, this bumpkin who seems to have appeared out of nowhere, has to compete with me, Liuu Zhen!" Liuu Zhen revealed a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth, extremely mocking.

In his eyes, Chen Fei was just bluffing, not worthy of any stage.

"Eleven thousand."

But before his voice had fully fallen, Chen Fei's calm bid sounded again, and just as before, it increased by no less, but exactly one thousand more!

Wow! The crowd immediately burst into commotion.

"This guy..." Many couldn't help but look at Chen Fei in amazement, this level of expenditure was tremendously shocking even for them.

Moreover, in their view, the most crucial point was, Chen Fei wasn't a VIP in one of the premium rooms; he was just like them, seated as an ordinary guest in the venue, which raises the question, did he have that many spirit stones?

Did he truly have the right to rival someone like Liuu Zhen, that young tyrant?

"You dog! Lowborn, I, I..." Upon hearing this, Liuu Zhen's originally mocking face suddenly turned livid, his gaze also becoming suddenly fierce, filled with murder intent.

The next instant, he gritting his teeth, looked at Chen Fei with an expression full of venom and malice, yet the latter didn't even glance at him, calmly watching the auction platform, as though he didn't even care to look at him!

This made Liuu Zhen's face even more distorted and malignant, his heart filled with immense anger! His face began to twitch gruesomely.

"Twelve thousand!" He bid again.

"Thirteen thousand." Chen Fei's tone remained calm.

"Four-fourteen thousand!" Liuu Zhen's voice trembled slightly.

"Fifteen thousand." Chen Fei's expression didn't even change.

...

A moment later, the Five-Colored Essence—originally only valued at seventy to eighty thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones—had astonishingly soared to a sky-high price of nineteen thousand due to the bidding war between Chen Fei and Liuu Zhen! Equivalent to two times the value of the Five-Colored Essence.

By now, people watching Chen Fei's expression once again found it calm, as if declaring nineteen thousand as the sky-high price was as ordinary as just a few spirit stones, completely indifferent to it.

In contrast, Liuu Zhen, at this moment, had already completely changed his expression, filled with ferocity and venom, his eyes viciously staring at Chen Fei, full of murderous intent, as if he wanted to shred him to pieces!

With his status, had he ever encountered such a predicament?

If today he truly lost the bid, how would he save face!?

"Tw—"

The next instant, he seemed to temporarily lose his sanity, suppressing the murder intent in his heart, and prepared to bid again.

"Young Palace Master!" But at this moment, the expert at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm behind him spoke directly, frowning and saying solemnly.

"I..." Liuu Zhen's countenance changed abruptly, his fingernail pressed into his flesh, leaving blood marks, and after a moment, he gritted his teeth viciously, giving up the idea of continuing to bid, he turned towards the elder behind him, full of venom, and said.

"Go investigate! Find out exactly who he is, what background he has? Once this auction ends, once we leave the Auction House of Floating Immortal Mountain, I, Liuu Zhen, will definitely have his dog life! Tear him into a thousand pieces."

The elder at the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm nodded slightly, looking at Liuu Zhen, his expression also somewhat cruel and ruthless, he said: "Young Palace Master, rest assured. In this Ghost Wolf City, anyone with status and prestige, don't we recognize? Treat this unknown lowborn as having kindly bought the Five-Colored Essence for you."

Upon hearing this, Liuu Zhen's ferocious expression gradually improved slightly.

Meanwhile, inside the auction venue.

"Hey, seriously? Liuu Zhen gave up? Is this for real?"

"Seems real... This guy really is courting death, for a Five-Colored Essence, he'll likely lose his life! Typical brainless fool, has money to spend but no life to enjoy."

"Indeed, spending twenty thousand Low Grade Spirit Stones to buy such a Five-Colored Essence and even offending Liuu Zhen, truly is brainless! Overestimating oneself."

...

It's clear that for nearly everyone watching, Chen Fei's casual expenditure of spirit stones and audacity in offending Liuu Zhen, they all think that Chen Fei must definitely have something wrong in his head, unaware of himself, self-overestimation, courting death...

After all, who is Liuu Zhen? One of the Tri-Extremes Palace, the Young Palace Master of Ice Demon Palace, the son of Liuu Tiandi!

With such a background, such an identity, even if Chen Fei could leave Floating Immortal Pavilion under its protection, walk out of Floating Immortal Mountain, but what then after leaving the mountain?

Let's not forget, Floating Immortal Mountain is ultimately within Ghost Wolf City's borders!

It's the territory of the four top-tier forces.

"Is that all? Boring, I thought he'd be more capable." Seeing that Liuu Zhen actually gave up the bidding, Chen Fei muttered to himself, feeling somewhat uninteresting.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, spending two hundred thousand low grade spirit stones to buy a Five-Colored Essence that's worth at most seventy or eighty thousand is an absolute act of folly! He didn't even know how many useless spirit stones he had wasted, and furthermore, he had offended Liuu Zhen...

However, to him, what does a mere two hundred thousand low grade spirit stones count for?

Don't even mention the mid-grade spirit stone vein beneath the Enlightened Deity Mansion, just his own money-making ability - casually making a furnace of pills would probably sell for that much! It's just a matter of moving his hands, what's the big deal?

This is like a poor person who can never understand the spending habits of a billionaire; simply put, the difference in levels is too big and their ability to earn money is not proportional, like a frog in a well.

Subsequently, a torrent of undercurrents surged swiftly within the Auction House of Floating Immortal Mountain. Chilling killing intent was buried here.

Nonetheless, the auction continued.

Today's auction at Floating Immortal Mountain truly lived up to its annual grand occasion, with indeed quite a lot of precious items, and Chen Fei was also enthused. As long as he spotted something he was interested in, he spared no hesitation, bombarding with spirit stones!

In the end, almost no one dared to compete with Chen Fei, not because they didn't want to, but because they simply couldn't win!

During this period, both Liuu Zhen and the old man of the Third Heavenly Layer of Foundation Establishment True Person Realm felt something was amiss. Because the financial power Chen Fei displayed was truly terrifying, could an ordinary person have such financial resources!?

"Humph! I don't care who you are, if you dare to offend me, Liuu Zhen, you must die!"

But then Liuu Zhen cast aside the unease in his heart.

He firmly believed in his own background. His father is Liuu Tiandi; how could trash like Chen Fei, a mere commoner, possibly challenge him!? Dream on.

Boom!

At this moment, a gust of gloomy wind rose, sweeping through the entire auction hall, making everyone's complexion change slightly, as their gazes were drawn towards the center of the auction.

Only to see in the hands of the elder presiding over the auction, another orb of light appeared, and within that light orb, a palm-sized leaf floated silently, surrounded by a gray-black whirlwind, encasing it, shimmering faintly, with extremely somber brilliance, giving people immense pressure! Making it hard to breathe.

"It's the Ghost Luo Leaf!" Chen Fei's eyes narrowed, exclaiming in delight.

This was great, his luck was good, for there was indeed a Ghost Luo Leaf auction. Now, one of the two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he needed was finally complete.

"Ghost Luo Leaf!" When Liuu Zhen saw the Ghost Luo Leaf, his expression immediately became extremely excited and covetous. His gaze at the Ghost Luo Leaf was as if wanting to swallow it and claim it for himself.

The technique he cultivated was the treasure of their Ice Demon Palace - the Ice Jade Demon Soul Technique.

The most formidable aspect of this technique is that it can condense a ghost image called the 'Ice Jade Demon Soul'! This ghost image is very powerful and terrifying, and is well-known in Ghost Wolf City. It is also the hallmark of his father, Liuu Tiandi.

If he could cultivate it, his power would certainly increase dramatically!

The key to whether the Ice Jade Demon Soul ghost image can be successfully cultivated lies in this Ghost Luo Leaf! Only with the assistance of this Ghost Luo Leaf can it be successfully cultivated.

Not only Chen Fei and him but many others too. When the Ghost Luo Leaf appeared, quite a few movements came from the VIP rooms in the sky. A pair of gazes penetrated down.

Evidently, they were also stirred.

"The forty-fifth auction item, the Ghost Luo Leaf, I believe I don't need to elaborate on its preciousness, right? Then this time I'll get straight to the point, the Ghost Luo Leaf, starting price, a hundred thousand low grade spirit stones."

The old man's indifferent voice came, and the crowd immediately was in shock.

A hundred thousand?

The starting price alone is a hundred thousand!?

Many couldn't help but feel their heart shake. Isn't this starting price a bit too exaggerated?

However, the bidding scene that unfolded next left them dumbfounded, speechless.

"One hundred and ten thousand!" A voice came from within a VIP room.

"One hundred and twenty thousand!" A voice from another VIP room followed closely.

"One hundred and fifty thousand!" This time the bid was from Liuu Zhen. He directly raised the price by thirty thousand low grade spirit stones.

However, this approach still didn't scare off the bidders.

"One hundred and seventy thousand!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

...

The intense bidding sounds rose and fell.

At this moment, the competition for the Ghost Luo Leaf had entirely become the stage for the guests within those VIP rooms to perform!

No way around it, the bidding price was simply too terrifying! Others simply did not have the financial capability to intervene.

"Two hundred and seventy thousand!" Quickly, the bid for the Ghost Luo Leaf rose to a staggering two hundred and seventy thousand low grade spirit stones! The voice from the bidder was extremely chilling; just speaking gave a sinister feeling.

The fluctuations emanating from his room were even more unsettling.

Evidently, this was an exceedingly formidable figure!

He was interested in the Ghost Luo Leaf as well.

Seeing such a price, many present experienced accelerated heartbeats, became envious and jealous. Such an enormous quantity of low grade spirit stones, who knows how long it could support their comfortable cultivation.
