Chương 199: Zhuge clan's rage

The moment the door closed behind them, Yan jian immediately turned to Long Feng.

"Come on, hurry up! Let's see how much we've got from that beggar young master's void ring!" Long Feng took out three void rings,"Let's start with these servant's own. They should have some wealth" he sent his inner energy into the first ring and poured out it's content on the floor. Clanging sounds echoed in the room and weapons, crystals and herbs fell out of the void ring to the floor.

"Wow! This servant is very rich! He's even wealthier than me!" Yan jian exclaimed in shock as thousands of spirit crystals rolled around.

"There's about ten thousand spirit crystals! How could a servant be so rich?" Long Feng muttered in shock. This servant was actually wealthier than even him!

"Look, he also has so many armaments! Wait, Is that a spirit armament?!"

"If we auction off these herbs and weapons, we could get about ten thousand spirit crystals! And there's also ten thousand spirit crystals here!"

"Hahaha! Brother Long Feng, we're rich!" Yan jian exclaimed.

"Will twenty thousand spirit crystals be enough to purchase many things in the auction?" Long Feng asked just to be sure.

"I'm afraid not. A single half spirit armament is worth a thousand spirit crystals. In an auction, it could rise to two thousand. As for a spirit armament, it's worth ten thousand spirit crystals! Not to mention the cultivation resources and martial skills, twenty thousand spirit crystals aren't worth anything in the auction, only enough to buy two spirit armaments." Yan jian replied.

"Okay. Let's hope the other servant also has such wealth. Then the beggar young master should at least be wealthier than his servants otherwise I'll really look down on him" Long Feng nodded and took out the other servant's void ring; the servant who led their young master and his companion away. Long Feng poured out the content of this void ring and both of them watched expectantly as crystals and weapons rolled out.

"Brother Long Feng, we're rich! Hahahaha!" Yan jian immediate burst out laughing at the sight of the spirit crystals and weapons. This servant was even richer than the other one, having more half spirit armaments, one spirit armament, and more precious herbs and healing pills.

"All of these can be auctioned off for almost twenty thousand! And he also has about ten thousand spirit crystals again! We've struck it rich!" Yan jian exclaimed excitedly.

"But, how could servants be so rich? Do you think these are the beggar young master's wealth which he gave to his servants for safe keeping?" Long Feng asked worriedly. If it was true, then this wealth still wouldn't be able to get them much things at the auction.

"Don't worry brother Long Feng. You don't know just how much importance these powerful clans place on this one in a decade Yi and Hua Auction! Only the participants and some very respected individuals can attend. Even the powerful clans and sects aren't allowed in. Therefore, I think the Zhuge clan gave the bulk of their resources to this beggar young master and then gave these servants extra spirit crystals just in case they weren't enough!" Yan jian explained.

Long Feng's eyes widened in shock,"In that case, aren't we stealing the Zhuge clan's resources? Ten thousand spirit crystals seem like a lot to me""Don't worry. These clans are very rich. Forget ten thousand, even a hundred thousand spirit crystals wouldn't stump them. Let's hope this young master's void ring has that much spirit crystals."

"Alright. Let's categorize these things and clear the floor." Long Feng said. A moment later, the spirit crystals, the herbs, the healing pills and the armaments of the two servants were grouped into four different void rings.

"With just these, we have about fifty thousand spirit crystals! Let's see what the beggar young master has. If he's rich enough, I might even be convinced to stop calling him a beggar!" Yan jian rubbed his palms excitedly. Long Feng nodded and took out the young man's void ring. He immediately poured out the void Ring's content on the floor.

Even though him and Yan jian were already expecting to see alot of spirit crystals, the scene of thousands of crystals rolling on the floor stumped them, leaving them slack jawed. Love what you're reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on.

"Amazing! This beggar young master is truly the young master of the Zhuge clan! This is a river of spirit crystals! And those are… over ten spirit armaments! He doesn't even have half spirit armaments! We've truly struck it rich! This beggar young master is truly our lucky star, bringing himself to our doorstep with such wealth when we needed it the most!" Yan jian shouted.

"The next time I see him, I must properly thank him and apologize for making him to vomit blood." Long Feng said righteously.

"There's so much spirit crystals! I think they should have surpassed a hundred thousand right? And ten spirit armaments total another hundred thousand spirit crystals! This beggar young master is a walking two hundred thousand spirit crystals!"

"Unfortunately, his pills are also all healing pills. It seems that even the powerful sects and clans can only refine healing pills and nothing else. But his herbs are of higher quality than his servants. And these martial skills are of the yang and spirit grades!" Long Feng observed after checking through all the pill bottles.

"That's only to be expected. Healing pills are very easy to refine, even though they are of the lowest quality. Even the Yihua clan doesn't have a true alchemist who can refine other pills apart from healing pills. No alchemist would come to such a backwater low grade continent even if they are the lowest of all alchemist. Even mid grade continents might not have alchemists""Oh well. Our total worth is now two hundred and fifty thousand spirit crystals if we auction everything.

With such an amount, we should be able to purchase anything we want in the auction!"

"That might still not be possible. I heard that the final item in every Yi and Hua Auction is always very rare and could sell for over five hundred thousand crystals or a few thousand imperial crystals. We aren't at that level of doing whatever we want in the auction yet" Yan jian burst Long Feng's bubbles with a sigh.

"Over five hundred thousand? Even an imperial armament shouldn't be worth that much right? Where are the Yihua clan getting the treasures to auction off and why aren't they keeping it for themselves?" Long Feng was shocked and confused. If the Yihua clan were getting such treasures, why not keep them for themselves? Why auction them off?

"That's the riddle. The Yihua clan themselves usually partake in the bidding of the items. It's almost like these treasures don't belong to them, and that's what pushes these powerful clans and sects into fighting for the items during the auction. Of course, the Yihua clan almost always wins whichever item they bid for" Yan jian explained, equally puzzled.

"Forget it, we'll ask Hua Liuli when we see her. Right now, let's group everything and prepare for the auction. When of the auction beginning again?"

"Three days before the selection competition begins. We have like three more days before the auction" Yan jian replied.

"Alright, let's group them. We'll auction half of the healing pills and Keep half, we'll auction eight spirit armaments and keep two for you and miss Li, you can review the martial skills and see if any of them suit you. Give them to miss Li to pick some too. we'll also auction off all the herbs and use all the spirit crystals to purchase important things. Wait, doesn't this guy has any imperial crystals?"

"I'm afraid not. Imperial crystals are the cultivation resource of imperial realm masters. They are very rare even in mid grade continents. I heard that the Yihua clan doesn't even have an imperial crystal lode and all their imperial crystals are exchanged with spirit crystals from mid grade continents. Therefore, only the Yihua clan has a large number of imperial crystals.

The other powerful sects and clans wouldn't have a hundred at most and they are strategic resources reserved only for their strongest cultivators." Yan jian replied.

"That's unfortunate. An imperial crystal would probably push me straight to the peak of the Yang realm and possibly help me break into the spirit realm." Long Feng sighed softly.

"Don't worry. The auction won't lack treasures that will help you to break through. We just need to be able to outbid everyone else for those treasures." After they finished grouping everything into categories, Long Feng sat on the bed and began to play the scene of the Firmament Sword Saint using the Firmament Sword art. This was the only way he could raise his combat power since it wasn't possible for him to break through again in short while.

He had only comprehended part of the first Firmament strike; Infinite Firmament and part of the first Firmament step. If he could raise his comprehension of any of these two, his combat power would soar. As for Yan jian, he sat on the futon and began to go through the young man's martial skills, searching for a suitable one to use.

Two days passed in a flash and there was only one day left to the auction. All of the participants had arrived by this point. Each of them were here bearing the hopes and expectations of their entire clans, something that happened every ten years. Only one clan was in an exceedingly gloomy mood at this moment and that was the Central Province's Zhuge clan. The Zhuge clan was a powerful clan in this continent, among the forces that were only second to the Yihua clan.

These forces were said to have imperial realm masters, though they were weaker than the Yihua clan's and also much fewer. The Zhuge clan chief was a peak spirit realm cultivator and he had only one son in his entire life. This son was very talented and didn't let down the hopes of the clan on him, quickly reaching the rank two spirit realm at the age of twenty. He was called Zhuge Min. He was the hope of the Zhuge clan and the most talented Junior they had raised in the two hundred years history of the clan.

They had sent him out to get a spot in the Yihua clan's selection competition and prepare to shine in the hundred continent meeting. At the same time, the clan handed three tenths of the entire clan's wealth to him for the Yi and Hua Auction. Others may be unaware, but these powerful sects and clans were aware that the majority of the treasures auctioned came from a person whom they couldn't offend, someone who could end even the Yihua clan with a single order!

Therefore, each of these forces placed great importance on this auction as they could even bid for powerful treasures and resources that could change the destiny of their clans! They usually gave their Juniors lots of spirit crystals and other resources to use during the auction. This time around, the Zhuge clan gave three tenths of their entire resources, placing their hopes on Zhuge min that he would one day lead them out of the desolate continent zones and into the four regions.

But before the auction could even begin, Zhuge min was actually robbed! He was robbed completely of everything he possessed including the resources given to him by the clan! Zhuge min's father, the clan chief was fuming in rage when he heard of this. That was an entire three tenths of their clan's wealth and he had used his authority as the clan chief to give this amount to his son. With this resources suddenly being robbed, he was going to be held accountable by the clan elder's.

This could even be enough to remove him from his position as clan chief! The clan would have to take out another large amount because they couldn't afford to miss out on the auction. Taking out another three tenths or even just two tenth would reduce their clan's total resource by at least half! The elders would never keep silent on this. And the most hateful part to the Zhuge clan chief was that his son was in a precarious state! This was the main reason he was enraged.

The bastards who robbed his son had caused his son to burn his heart veins due to rage. If that was all, it was alright. The clan had resources to heal him, but Zhuge min actually formed a heart demon! That was the truly enraging part. Zhuge min was so humiliated that he had formed a heart demon. Whenever he tried to cultivate, the images of Long Feng, Yan jian and Li Yue'er would appear in his mind, causing him to lose focus.

He would suddenly begin to shout that he was a future young Lord, destined to rule the four regions. He would rant about three beggars and other stuffs. It was so severe that he couldn't even think straight again, like a madman always ranting about the three beggars. The only way for him to get rid of the heart demon was to kill those three by himself, otherwise the Zhuge clan would have wasted their resources on nurturing him. This was undoubtedly a great humiliation to the Zhuge clan.

The Zhuge clan had immediately called for an urgent meeting and discussed what to do. Zhuge min was their only candidate who had a soul chance of joining a ranked force in the Four regions and bringing the clan to glory. Not to mention the immense resources they had invested into him. No matter what happened, they had to get rid of his heart demon before the Yihua clan's selection competition, otherwise he might not even be able to get a spot in his current state.
