Chapter 1960 - 5: Filthy Rich

The bidding grew increasingly fierce, and the prices soared higher. When the price climbed to around sixteen billion, cultivators started withdrawing one by one.

"Twenty billion!"

...

Seeing the timing was right, Lin Feng called out a bid.

"It’s that guy again..."

"Everyone, there are five Furnace Tripods anyway. Let’s unite to bid, and then we can discuss how to auction them later. What do you think?"

Some strong zhe communicated using Divine Sense.

Lin Feng’s appearance put them under great pressure, making it difficult for them to secure the bid; teaming up seemed their only hope.

"No problem! Let’s join forces to bid!"

Soon these people reached an agreement.

"Twenty-one billion!"

One person continued by shouting a new bid.

Seeing the price rise to twenty billion without stopping, many people got excited, and both parties seemed to be at a standoff.

Now that’s a show worth watching.

"One hundred billion!"

Lin Feng said casually.

But quickly, the entire auction house became silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The cultivators bidding together had their hands trembling slightly.

Soon, their expressions turned utterly gloomy.

Is this guy ridiculously rich or what?

To raise the price from twenty-one billion to one hundred billion in a single bid.

They truly regard money as mere paper.

In the private box.

Upon hearing Lin Feng’s bid, Yue Lianwei’s lips parted slightly.

She was clearly extremely shocked.

Everyone outside was in a state of profound astonishment.

Just how wealthy is this guy?

To be able to squander money this extravagantly?

"Hmph! Flaunting wealth like this! Simply courting death!"

Someone exchanged feelings in secret, revealing murderous intent.

The fastest way to acquire wealth is by killing and robbing, such incidents are just too common.

Now that Lin Feng exposed the extent of his wealth, it naturally attracted others’ covetousness.

Yue Lianwei said, "Although I am from the auction house and hope that any auction item fetches a sky-high price, I am also the young master’s friend. From a friend’s perspective, revealing the extent of your wealth tonight might invite some trouble!"

Lin Feng smiled slightly, "Trouble? If those people come, tonight’s expenses might not only pay for themselves, but I might even earn something!"

Hearing Lin Feng’s words, Yue Lianwei immediately understood Lin Feng’s plans and intentions, and she couldn’t help but smile wryly.

The five Furnace Tripods were won by Lin Feng at a price of one hundred billion.

After that, Lin Feng was no longer interested in watching the rest of the auction and left the private box with Naza following Yue Lianwei.

Arriving at the VIP lounge, Lin Feng paid the total amount.

Then Yue Lianwei took out a Jade Tube.

She handed the Jade Tube to Lin Feng, saying, "Each slave has a unique slave mark. This Jade Tube contains the method to control their slave marks, which is very simple. You should be able to learn it after looking through it a few times. Once you master these methods, you’ll be able to control the slave marks on them, and by controlling the slave marks, you control their lives. They will never be able to betray you!"

Lin Feng nodded, scanned the contents with his Divine Sense, and quickly mastered the spell to control the slave marks. He seemed to faintly sense more than ten strands of emotions conveyed by the slaves.

There were emotions of despair, fear, unease, indifference... every person’s emotions were different.

Lin Feng asked Yue Lianwei to bring the slaves in.

After a while, all the slaves were brought in.

The slaves lined up in a row.

Yue Lianwei said, "This is your new master, Lin Feng, Young Master Lin! Consider yourselves lucky to follow him!"

"Greetings, Master!"

The slaves all saluted Lin Feng.

They would rather be slaves than choose to die, indicating their will to live, perhaps due to unresolved grudges or for other reasons.

But they all wanted to live, and since they wanted to live, they needed to be respectful to their master; only by doing so could they stay alive.

Lin Feng did not respond but instead carefully observed the thirteen slaves.

The female assassin Butterfly should be at the Sixth or Seventh Layer Heaven of the Heavenly God Realm.

Combined with her identity as an assassin, her methods were quite mysterious.

An average Heavenly God Realm cultivator, even if capable of defeating her, would find it very hard to capture her.

No wonder a strong zhe from the Giant God Realm at that time had to personally take action to suppress her.

The beastman Wanyan Yang was also in the Heavenly God Realm, roughly around the Third Layer Heaven.

Of course, as one of the oldest in the Sky Pattern Beast Clan, his talent was nothing short of extraordinary.

And it is said that a beastman who awakens the Heavenly Pattern would become even more powerful.

Besides these two who reached the Heavenly God Realm.

There were also eight slaves who were powerhouses in the Quasi-Sky God Realm.

They were quite capable, which is why Lin Feng decided to buy them.

Additionally, two of the female slaves were in the True God Realm, and the remaining three were in the Divine Fire Realm.

Not very strong, but certainly not weak either.

...

"I know that some of you live on possibly due to unresolved grudges or for other reasons, but since you have become my slaves, I will not restrict you from taking revenge or doing other things, and as long as you are loyal, I promise to free you from slavery in the future!"

Lin Feng spoke in a strong, resounding voice.

For these slaves, being freed from slavery was naturally the most attractive prospect.

Sure enough.

As soon as Lin Feng mentioned releasing them from slavery.

Everyone’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"We will definitely be loyal and serve our master wholeheartedly!"

A group of people hurried to pledge their loyalty to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded with satisfaction, looked at Yue Lianwei, and said, "Wei’er, it’s getting late, we should head back first!"

Yue Lianwei smiled and said, "I’ll lead you through a safe passage to avoid being blocked by the Giant Whale Gang and causing trouble!"

"A mere Giant Whale Gang can be wiped out with a flick of a finger! It’s nothing significant, no need to be so overly cautious!"

Lin Feng said indifferently.

Yue Lianwei smiled and said, "Then I shall see you off!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Accompanied by Yue Lianwei, Lin Feng walked outside.

To the left was Yue Lianwei, and to the right was Naza, escorted by two beauties, drawing envious glances from many.

A group of slaves followed behind.

The slaves mostly had the impression that Lin Feng was exceptionally wealthy.

They were also speculating about Lin Feng’s identity; could he be the descendant of some top-level force?

Yue Lianwei saw Lin Feng and others out of the auction house.

Just as they stepped out, hundreds of cultivators rushed over, surrounding Lin Feng and the others tightly.

"Look, that kid has come out, surrounded by the Giant Whale Gang!"

Many cultivators waiting outside to watch the be surrounded Lin Feng and others at the auction house’s entrance excitedly shouted.
