Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2229 - 2211: Will You Sell the Space Bags?

Fang Yan looked at Li Xing, smiled indifferently, and then took out the pitch-black stone, saying to Li Xing, "I didn’t originally intend to sell it, but when I saw this thing, do you know what it is? It is an extremely rare artifact refining material — the Black Star Cloud Ink Stone. Its function is even more exaggerated; it’s a material that can increase the compatibility between Dharma treasures and Spiritual Energy. Do you still think I shouldn’t have made a move?"

"You actually picked this up as a bargain..." Li Xing was dumbfounded upon hearing Fang Yan’s words. Looking at Fang Yan, he finally understood why Fang Yan made a move; it was because of this thing called the Black Star Cloud Ink Stone. He had felt that Fang Yan’s move was somewhat strange this time, but now he understood what was going on!

He also understood why Fang Yan acted the way he did before. It was merely to avoid attracting others’ attention. After all, Fang Yan recognized this thing, and if it attracted others’ attention and was identified by others, it would take much more effort for them to acquire the Black Star Cloud Ink Stone.

"Let’s go, let’s explore a bit more. Maybe we’ll find other things." Fang Yan didn’t want to talk much with Li Xing; instead of wasting time, it was better to walk around more and possibly pick up more deals.

After saying this, Fang Yan headed to a nearby stall, and Li Xing followed...

It’s evening.

Fang Yan and Li Xing were sitting atop a restaurant, looking at the afternoon’s harvest on the table. Li Xing was at a loss for words; they had bought ten items that afternoon, all appearing strange on the surface. If not for Fang Yan’s explanations, he wouldn’t have known their value. He was thoroughly convinced by Fang Yan — with such insight and knowledge, there are probably very few people like him in the world.

"Fang Yan, I’m really curious, how do you recognize these things!" Li Xing asked Fang Yan with curiosity, genuinely puzzled as to how Fang Yan knew so much. Frankly speaking, even though he often roamed across numerous Cultivation Worlds and had broad experiences, he had to be in complete awe of Fang Yan.

"What’s so strange about that? I am the doppelganger of your junior brother, inheriting all his memories. Your junior brother had read all your master’s Ancient Books before, now do you understand?" Fang Yan smiled and explained to Li Xing.

"I... I..." Li Xing almost choked on water upon hearing Fang Yan’s words. He never expected such an outcome. He knew what his master was like — there’s nothing impossible. But the fact that junior disciple Lin Feng had read all the master’s Ancient Books — how could he describe the bitterness in his heart? He hadn’t read even one. The disparity was indeed massive.

Now he finally understood why that junior brother could be so extraordinary, and similarly why Fang Yan was so remarkable. Those Ancient Books as a foundation made it impossible not to become exceptional...

Seeing what Li Xing was thinking, Fang Yan chuckled, comforting Li Xing, "You really shouldn’t be so depressed. My real self, Lin Feng, is not an ordinary person. When you meet him, you’ll understand. Moreover, your master has only him as a direct disciple; how could he be bad to him? So, worrying about these things is really pointless. If you indeed had extraordinary talent, why wouldn’t your master accept you as a direct disciple?"

Indeed!

With Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing suddenly had an epiphany. Fang Yan’s words were spot-on. Like Fang Yan said, what was the point of comparing himself to Lin Feng? At most, he was just a registered disciple of the master, while Lin Feng was the master’s direct disciple, fundamentally different. So thinking too much was merely creating trouble for himself.

Thinking of this made him feel amused, shaking his head and deciding not to dwell on meaningless concerns. However, looking at Fang Yan, he suddenly remembered something and asked Fang Yan, "Fang Yan, the things we’ve got haven’t been sold yet; what do you say we do?"

"It’s simple, tonight we’ll go to an auction house. No one else can handle what we’ve got, and dealing with it there would resolve our concerns." Fang Yan smiled at Li Xing and replied. He had already thought through these matters, giving the auction house the responsibility was the most appropriate choice, especially since many things in that Space Ring were stolen by the Holy Soul Sect from other sects here.

"Alright, then we’ll go check out the auction house later." Hearing Fang Yan’s advice, Li Xing nodded, agreeing that this method was indeed excellent. It could prevent any involvement, and furthermore, how could they go with their real identities to the auction house? With their ability, disguising themselves as ordinary people was effortless.

At this moment, the waiter began serving dishes, both stopped talking and simply ate some of the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain’s specialty dishes, then left the restaurant together.

Soon after, both used a disguise Secret Technique, transforming into two elder-looking figures seemingly over a hundred years old. Fang Yan wore a gray robe, while Li Xing donned a black robe. They went to the auction house in Xuantian City Market, a large circular building that looked particularly eye-catching, entering directly under the night sky.

"Gentlemen, what can I assist you with? Are you here to auction something?" A young man in charge of reception immediately approached the two elderly figures, respectfully asking.

"Bring the person in charge here, I have business." Li Xing instructed the young man directly.

"Please wait a moment, I’ll bring the shopkeeper right over." The young man, upon hearing this, realized these two were here for important matters, hence dared not delay, and immediately spoke to Fang Yan and Li Xing. Afterward, the young man ran inside the auction house to fetch the shopkeeper.

Soon, an elderly man appearing in his forties or fifties arrived, stepping before Fang Yan and Li Xing, saluting them first, then asking with a smile, "What brings you to seek me out?"

"We’ve got a deal we’d like to discuss with your auction house," Li Xing said calmly.

"Please, follow me to have that discussion inside." The shopkeeper’s eyes instantly brightened at Li Xing’s words; typically, business that seeks his involvement is not ordinary. Courteously, he led them into a nearby room.

Entering, the shopkeeper cautiously shut the door, assuring them, "You can discuss anything here without worry; no one can enter or overhear us."

At that moment, Fang Yan spoke, "Shopkeeper, I have some rather tricky items. I’m not sure if your auction house is willing to take them?"

The shopkeeper was slightly taken aback by such words but swiftly regained composure, smiling as he asked, "Could you clarify what you mean by tricky?"

"Recently, in the Nine Esteemed Heavens Domain, some folks have been ambushing certain sects, are you aware of this?" Fang Yan smiled, speaking cryptically to the shopkeeper.

"I’ve heard a bit." The shopkeeper replied directly, having considered what Fang Yan aforementioned, then asked with intrigued expression, "Does your item happen to be from those raided sects?"

"Exactly." Fang Yan answered indifferently before continuing, "Now, is your auction house brave enough to take this batch of goods?"

Upon hearing Fang Yan’s statement, the shopkeeper smiled at Fang Yan, saying, "There’s no need to worry, if these are items belonging to those sects, we can certainly take them. After all, those sects have already been eradicated, even if trouble arises, it wouldn’t be significant. Moreover, our auction house can hold onto these items for a while, gradually selling or auctioning them through normal channels unnoticed by anyone."

Hearing the shopkeeper’s reassurance, Fang Yan smiled, casually tossing several Space Bags on the table, saying to the shopkeeper, "Take a look at the goods, assess how much you can offer for them."

Upon Fang Yan’s statement, the shopkeeper wasted no time, stepping forward and grabbing a Space Bag to inspect its contents...

This inspection left the shopkeeper stunned; he hadn’t expected so many high-quality items, all with excellent quality and none inferior. He was clueless about how many sects’ entire assets were inside these Space Bags; it was indeed remarkable.

Yet adhering to his responsibility, after a brief shock, he earnestly began inventorying the goods, grabbing a huge abacus and adeptly operating it with one hand...

About an hour later, the shopkeeper had finally inventoried the contents of the Space Bags. He looked up, smiling at Fang Yan and Li Xing, "I’ve examined your goods, the quantity is substantial, and the quality is excellent. Our auction house can offer two billion, five hundred million Spirit Stones, how do you find the offer?"

Fang Yan smiled indifferently upon hearing the shopkeeper’s price, nodding casually without saying much. The offer was quite fair, roughly ten percent lower than he had anticipated, but given the quick purchase of this batch, the pricing was indeed good.

Seeing Fang Yan’s agreement, the shopkeeper had a bright smile on his face before asking, "Gentlemen, there is too much material here; our warehouse cannot accommodate them all. I wonder if you intend to sell the Space Bags?"

"What price can you offer per bag?" Li Xing joined in, curious about the auction house’s offer compared to last time’s price of two million Spirit Stones per Space Bag.

Before his words fell, the shopkeeper responded with a smile, "These Space Bags of yours have much larger space than ordinary bags. For such rarities, I wouldn’t want you gentlemen to lose out; would five hundred thousand Spirit Stones per Space Bag sound fair?"
