Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2231 - 2213: The Sad Xiao Bai

Seeing the shopkeeper hesitate a bit, a smile appeared on Fang Yan’s face. He then calmly said, "How about this, if I fancy any Spiritual Medicine, I’ll give the auction house an extra ten percent commission. What do you think?"

Fang Yan’s words were indeed powerful, causing the shopkeeper’s eyes to widen instantly. A ten percent commission was extremely high, given the precious value of these Spiritual Medicines. Picking any one might reach over a million, and considering Fang Yan’s lavish level of expenditure, the negotiated price would definitely far exceed that. Thus, the auction house would gain immense benefits — the difference was significant!

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper could not withstand Fang Yan’s extravagant offer and smiled, saying, "In that case, it’s not impossible, but I hope the esteemed customer won’t choose too many, as there are only about a dozen specimens prepared for the auction."

"That’s not a problem. Please lead the way," Fang Yan replied with a smile, looking at the shopkeeper.

Relieved, the shopkeeper immediately led Fang Yan and another person out of this Spiritual Medicine warehouse, proceeding to another room heavily guarded by multiple Formations, with two mid-stage Earth Immortals stationed. It was clear this room housed extraordinary treasures.

Upon entering with the shopkeeper, Fang Yan immediately spotted a Spiritual Medicine resembling a small snake on the showcase, and asked the shopkeeper with a smile, "How many Spirit Stones for this Spiritual Medicine?"

"What good taste. This Nether Snake Soul Severing Vine was found by the consignor in the Underworld Gorge after slaying three super Demon Beasts. The starting price is three million Spirit Stones, and if auctioned, it should fetch around five million Spirit Stones..." The shopkeeper explained to Fang Yan with a smile.

Yet before the shopkeeper could finish, Fang Yan interrupted, "I’ll pay six million Spirit Stones. You can contact the consignor, and if it’s suitable, I’ll buy it directly."

"Alright..." The shopkeeper gasped, thinking Fang Yan’s offer was extraordinarily generous. But since Fang Yan was willing to pay such a high price, the shopkeeper readily agreed.

Subsequently, the shopkeeper took Fang Yan for a thorough stroll around, during which Fang Yan picked out a total of three Spiritual Medicines. This greatly relieved the shopkeeper since he could manage with just three. If Fang Yan wanted too many, the shopkeeper wouldn’t have been able to handle it.

As for other auction items, Fang Yan wasn’t interested in any. Elixirs and Dharma Treasures held no meaning for him, and other materials weren’t what he needed. Hence, aside from these three Spiritual Medicines, Fang Yan didn’t request anything else.

This outcome greatly satisfied the shopkeeper. If the consignors agreed, he would receive nearly two million Spirit Stones in commission from just three Spiritual Medicines. This was indeed ideal, so the shopkeeper led Fang Yan and his companion out of the treasure vault.

Just after leaving the vault, Fang Yan suddenly asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, I’m done viewing the Spiritual Medicines. Could you take me to see your materials?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper promptly replied, "Of course!"

He then immediately led Fang Yan to the other side, entering a material warehouse constructed entirely of special stones. The nature of these stones was unknown, but they completely concealed any aura from the materials inside.

Upon entering the material warehouse, the three found it considerably larger than the previous Spiritual Medicine warehouse—several times larger. Glancing at the mound-like piles of various materials, the shopkeeper immediately said to Fang Yan, "Please, esteemed customer, feel free to choose."

Fang Yan wasn’t shy and, along with Li Xing, entered to start a serious selection.

"How many of these, and the price?"

"There are a total of one hundred and thirty pieces, each priced at ten Spirit Stones."

"How many of these, and the price?"

"Bamboo Charcoal Talisman Stones—inventory record is five hundred and seventy pieces, each also ten Spirit Stones!"

...

Fang Yan and Li Xing went around this material warehouse, amassing considerable gains. They chose hundreds of materials in total, totaling millions. Such an outcome puzzled the shopkeeper, who wondered what on earth these two intended to do; were they planning to establish a Sect...

Still, being in business, he didn’t dwell on such matters and immediately started calculating the value of all the materials. After completing the calculations, the numbers left him dumbfounded, amounting to over eight million Spirit Stones. Thus, combined with the previous selection of Spiritual Medicines, Fang Yan would only need to pay them about two million Spirit Stones, bringing a smile to his face.

He respectfully escorted Fang Yan and Li Xing to a luxurious room, arranged for two people to serve them personally, and then took Li Xing’s Space Bag to organize those Spiritual Medicines and materials.

It took a full four hours before the shopkeeper finished organizing everything. He then returned Li Xing’s space bag to Fang Yan. Without saying much, Fang Yan and Li Xing took the space bag and left the auction house.

The two were very cautious, and after walking a good few miles from the auction house, they found no one was following them. They went into a tavern, and when no one noticed, Fang Yan used Thousand Miles in One Step to leave Xuantian City.

"Hahaha, I never expected the harvest to be this big!" Li Xing couldn’t hold it in any longer. He had been silent not because he wanted to be, but because he was afraid of letting his excitement get the best of him. The items in the auction house were incredibly cheap; if they were in other parts of the Cultivation World, the contents of this space bag could easily fetch multiples more.

"Indeed, it’s really cheap," Fang Yan said with a smile. Thinking back, he was also surprised by the unexpected gains from this shopping spree.

"Fang Yan, what shall we do next?" Li Xing asked with a smile. With so many items, they had various ways to deal with people from the Holy Soul Sect.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan smiled faintly and said to Li Xing, "First, let’s find a quiet place so I can handle these spiritual medicines and materials. Then we’ll prepare a great gift for the Holy Soul Sect!"

"Alright, let’s do it!" Li Xing laughed heartily at Fang Yan’s words. He was eager to see the expression on the Holy Soul Sect’s people when they encountered these.

Later, the two found a cave. Fang Yan set up a formation at the entrance, and Li Xing stood guard there. Then Fang Yan began earnestly refining elixirs and arranging formation items...

......

While Fang Yan was refining elixirs and formation items, Lin Feng experienced an anomaly in another strange space.

In that peculiar space, Lin Feng’s body emitted a piercing Sword Qi that seemed to cut through the entire space, creating countless cracks as if the whole space was about to collapse!

"Swoosh!"

Suddenly, an astonishing aura burst from Lin Feng’s body, transforming into a golden longsword that shot towards the sky as if it wanted to pierce the heavens, turning into a golden beam aimed above...

"Boom!"

With a tremendous sound, the space Lin Feng was in collapsed entirely, returning him to the place he initially entered, as if he had never visited that space or seen the remains of the Lingtian Sword Monarch.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lin Feng smiled with satisfaction. He was genuinely happy; the inheritance from the Lingtian Sword Monarch had been incredibly rewarding. The battle with the golden longsword allowed him to comprehend a vast amount of sword intent, significantly boosting his strength. He was confident even against the true form of that old man in black.

With a thought, Lin Feng retracted the overwhelming sword intent and left the cave he had broken open with ease. He arrived at the riverbank, and looking at the rushing water, he suddenly felt inspired. With a finger pointed at the water’s surface, he watched as an invisible Sword Qi shot forth, instantly severing the river that spanned several miles.

With a faint smile, Lin Feng was quite satisfied with his current power. Suddenly, he remembered the women and the white cat in the Cave Heaven Mansion and released them directly.

The white cat emerged, looking at Lin Feng with an expression of shock. Its fur stood on end, and its eyes turned red as it asked an unexpected question, "Master, is that really you? Xiao Bai missed you so much!"

This statement left all the women stunned. They couldn’t understand what the white cat meant by its master returning. Could Lin Feng have been possessed? With that thought, the women became tense, their eyes on Lin Feng, wanting to hear his explanation. Simultaneously, a cold aura emanated from the women, ready to act if Lin Feng behaved strangely.

Looking at Xiao Bai and then at the women, Lin Feng smiled calmly and explained to them, "I found Xiao Bai’s master, the remains of the Lingtian Sword Monarch. There, I received the Lingtian Sword Monarch’s inheritance, which is why I’ve become like this."

Regarding this, Lin Feng was speechless. He had just accepted the Lingtian Sword Monarch’s legacy, and his aura was difficult to restrain, which was why both the white cat and the women noticed the change. However, it was only temporary; it wouldn’t be long before he could completely gather his aura, making it impossible for anyone to notice.

Upon hearing this, the women finally understood what had happened. They were happy about Lin Feng’s improvement, smiling with joy.

But the white cat suddenly started crying, looking at Lin Feng with deep sorrow as it asked, "Did my master... not leave any final words? Is he... really gone? I... I miss him so much..."
