Chapter 2178 - 2179: Glazed Fire Tree

"Tomorrow evening, the auction at Yingxiao Black Market will put the Scorpion Fruit up for sale."

Xiao Juanyun slowly said, "The Scorpion Fruit is really quite obscure, so there probably won’t be many people fighting for it. Brother Ling, you can stay and rest at the estate; I’ll get it for you."

Ling Feng shook his head and laughed, "It’s fine. Anyway, my Dantian is sealed; I’m just idle. I might as well go personally."

Nowadays, with his Dan Tian Energy Sea sealed, any kind of cultivation basically has no effect.

Day after day of Alchemy. Ling Feng occasionally wanted to find something fresh to do.

"An auction?"

The door was pushed open quite roughly; the person hadn’t arrived yet, but their voice did.

Who else but Yeu Junyao?

Yeu Junyao quickly walked up to Ling Feng, "Hey, brat, I want to go too!"

"Your legs are yours. Go if you want!"

Ling Feng pouted and said nonchalantly.

"You didn’t get my meaning!"

Yeu Junyao furrowed her brows, "What I mean is, you’ll be the one paying for whatever I win at the auction!"

"..."

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, "You’re a proper young lady, and you want me to pay?"

"I’m giving you a chance to impress me. If you want to be my brother-in-law, shouldn’t you be trying to please me?"

Yeu Junyao puffed her lips, glared at Ling Feng angrily, "I haven’t acknowledged you as my brother-in-law yet!"

"..." Ling Feng rolled his eyes again, muttering silently to himself: Do I need your approval to be the brother-in-law?

Yeu Junyao gave Ling Feng a sideways glance and continued, "Besides, you’re the Alliance Hierarch and a grown man, while I’m just buying a little trinket. Why are you being so stingy?"

"Hehe..."

Ling Feng felt speechless, "Fine, as long as it’s not overboard!"

Only then did Yeu Junyao show a hint of joy, "So it’s settled then!"

After speaking, Yeu Junyao left excitedly, while Ling Feng broke out in a slight sweat, feeling something ominous.

"Alliance Hierarch, you’re enduring a lot!"

Xiao Juanyun looked at the departing Yeu Junyao’s back but couldn’t help smirking, "Still, Lady Yeu is really beautiful!"

"Wipe your drool first; it’s hitting the ground!"

Ling Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes; Xiao Juanyun usually kept a serious facade but was secretly a playful sort.

Xiao Juanyun hurriedly sucked back his drool, wiping the corners of his mouth, his face slightly red, "Alliance Hierarch, sometimes I doubt your preferences. You sure you don’t like men?"

"Go to hell!"

Ling Feng’s forehead darkened, kicking out, but Xiao Juanyun quickly dodged, laughing, "I’ll go ask my aunt and see if she’s okay, then I’ll bless you and my uncle!"

As he spoke, he ran away, scared Ling Feng would slaughter him on the spot.

"This guy!"

Ling Feng shook his head and laughed; after such a stir from Xiao Juanyun, his mood lightened quite a bit.

It felt as if he was back in the days at the Heavenly Position Academy, green and youthful, where he laughed and grew together with friends who shared his ambitions.

Looking back, it feels like it was just yesterday!

...

Yingxiao Black Market is located in the southern part of Yueelin City.

The layout of Yueelin City is quite complex. Beyond the influence of the nine major families, all major businesses actually depend on the nine families for their existence.

Except for the special case of the Yingxiao Black Market, which, as a foreign entity, managed to root itself within Yueelin City and possesses immense influence.

For unknown reasons, none of the nine families dare suppress the business of the Yingxiao Black Market.

Rumor has it that the Yingxiao Black Market is backed by a super large family from the Central Origin Domain.

The Central Origin Domain is famed for being the so-called Divine Race’s Domain.

Any family or sect holding a spot in the Central Origin Domain generally has a Divine Race background.

Such as the Jiuli Divine Race behind Yeu Junyao, one of the top entities.

With Xiao Juanyun as a diligent helper, everything was already arranged, and naturally, a VIP box was not an issue.

Born from the direct lineage of the nine major families, this bit of privilege indeed comes handy.

The entire box was extremely luxurious, while the maid accompanying the Stone Monkey was as charming as a flower, gentle and delicate.

According to Xiao Juanyun, these maids were also up for auction; if one caught your eye, for a certain price, you could bring her home as a concubine.

These maids were specially trained; truly, the pleasures of the wealthy are unimaginable!

Of course, Ling Feng clearly had no such demands; not only did he lack lust, but Yeu Junyao, a peerless beauty beside him, easily overshadowed the maids.

"Young Master Xiao, do you find the arrangements satisfactory?"

A chubby middle-aged manager smiled at Xiao Juanyun.

"Hmm, not bad."

Xiao Juanyun nodded, instructing the middle-aged manager to leave, then quickly sat beside Ling Feng and smiled, "Alliance Hierarch, the auction will start soon. Besides the Scorpion Fruit, there’s a grand finale treasure you’ll surely be interested in."

"Grand finale treasure? What is it?"

Ling Feng slightly squinted, usually, the last treasure of each auction is quite good. If useful, he’s indeed a bit interested.

"I’ve heard it’s a Glazed Fire Tree, over five thousand years old!"

Xiao Juanyun smiled mysteriously.

"Glazed Fire Tree!"

Instantly, Ling Feng’s eyes sparkled with excitement. This treasure is absolutely comparable to the Heart Burning Emperor Lotus he devoured in Burning Heart Valley!

Back then, with the power of the Heart Burning Emperor Lotus, he managed to master Abnormal Fire and awaken Dragon Elephant Divine Power.

And now, there’s a treasure that can compare!

"Seems like, Alliance Hierarch, you’re indeed interested in this item!" Xiao Juanyun said with a smile.

"Hidden masters lie within Yueelin City; let’s not mention the Glazed Fire Tree yet, but grab that Scorpion Fruit first." Ling Feng smiled lightly; though wealthy, he isn’t the only rich person around.

The Glazed Fire Tree is merely icing on the cake for him, but the Scorpion Fruit is a must-have treasure.

No matter the cost, he has to acquire it.

However, when Yeu Junyao heard about the Glazed Fire Tree, her eyes sparkled. Ling Feng knew from Yeu Junyao’s expression she planned to go all out for it.

Thinking he’ll be footing the bill, Ling Feng couldn’t help but feel a pinch of pain...

Soon, all seats at the auction were occupied, and with the host’s appearance, the evening auction finally began.
