Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 698
Chapter 698 Dig A Pit
Generally speaking, there were three types of cultivation. The first type was the fleshly body, the second type was the realm, and the third type was the soul. As for martial skills, they were ranked at the bottom, no longer within three types.
The fleshly body could be cultivated through secret techniques, or it could be refined through spirit medicines, continuously forging the fleshly body.
Needless to say, with a good cultivation technique, one would naturally be able to continuously make breakthroughs. However, the premise was that one had a strong comprehension power.
What was comprehension power? Naturally, it was soul power. The smarter a person was, the stronger their comprehension would naturally be. There were also some people who were born with strong talent. As long as they had unceasing resources, they would be able to accumulate into an expert.
However, it was only through comprehension and constant strengthening of soul power that he could go further.
Raising one’s soul power was different from cultivating one’s physical body, martial skills, and even more incomparable to one’s cultivation realm. Soul power could only be slowly raised through constant comprehension, and it was not something that could be accumulated over time.
This Golden Pill could increase one’s soul power, purify one’s soul power, and make one’s soul power even purer and more powerful. Thus, when the Golden Pill appeared, the surroundings boiled once again.
However, there were only five Golden Pills. The first round was three. The Golden Pills were different from Marrow Cleansing Pills and Taibai Pills. After consuming the first few pills, the effects were greatly reduced.
The Golden Pill was different. As long as you continued to consume it, your soul power would increase bit by bit. The first round would soon set off a climax.
One Golden Pill was 5,000 Essence Pill, and the starting price for three was 15,000. Moreover, each increase in price was no less than 5,000 Essence Pill. Just based on the amount of Essence Pill, many people were stopped.
“I’ll pay 50,000!”
Not long after Elder Hu’s voice fell, someone directly quoted the amount of 50,000 yuan, more than doubling the price.
“60,000!”
A woman’s voice came from a private room on the second floor. She did not know who it was, but her voice was very sweet.
“70,000!”
The other private room also started to compete, both on the second floor.
“80,000!”
A familiar voice came into the private room where Ye Feng was.
“Zhong Qiang?”
Not only did Ye Feng hear it clearly, Tang Yan and Wang Ziao also looked at each other. Zhong Qiang was actually competing for the Golden Pill.
As soon as the eighty thousand was released, a large area quieted down. Sure enough, many people were stopped. The eighty thousand was not something an ordinary person could take out.
“This Zhong Clan is really strong. They took out 40 million Essence Pill, and this Zhong Qiang can still take out 80,000.”
The corners of Ye Feng’s mouth carried a faint smile.
“90,000!”
Just as he finished speaking, Ye Feng actually increased the price by 10,000 yuan.
“Ye Feng!”
When Ye Feng’s voice came out, Zhong Qiang, who was on the second floor, also heard it. It was actually Ye Feng competing with him for the Golden Pill.
Zhong Qiang’s teeth itched with hatred. He had some Origin Essence Pills that he had accumulated over the past few years. Right now, he was at a bottleneck and was about to use the Golden Pill to break through. Once he found an opportunity, he would be able to break through to the early Fourth Divine Martial Layer.
Now that Ye Feng had interfered, it was obvious that he was the one who was right. How could Zhong Qiang not know that he was deliberately raising the price?
Many people at the scene also began to reveal strange smiles. Everyone knew about the grudges between Ye Feng and the Zhong Family. Now, the two of them had started to fight over three golden pills.
“Ye Feng, the Golden Pill is yours. Why should you participate in the competition?”
Tang Yan did not understand, and her face was filled with doubt.
“Senior Sister Tang, you don’t understand. Of course, Brother Feng wants Zhong Qiang to bleed out some blood. If he wants to buy a Golden Pill so cheaply, he can forget it.”
Wang Ziao explained for Ye Feng. Since Zhong Qiang wanted it, Ye Feng definitely wouldn’t let him buy it so easily.
“What if Zhong Qiang gave up? Once he exceeded his budget, he would definitely choose to give up. At that time, wouldn’t Ye Feng be spending his own resources to buy his own things? This would not be worth the loss.”
After all, Tang Yan was a woman, so she didn’t think things through that thoroughly, but she was right. Once Zhong Qiang gave up, it would be Ye Feng who would suffer instead.
“He won’t give up!”
The smile at the corner of Ye Feng’s mouth grew brighter and brighter. No one could understand it, as if he was confident.
Since Ye Feng had said this, Tang Yan could not say anything. She quietly looked on. Only Wang Ziao and Tong Shen had bad smiles on their lips.
“100,000!”
After waiting for three breaths of time, Zhong Qiang raised the price again, almost gritting his teeth.
“110,000!”
Ye Feng added 10,000 yuan to the description.
In the private room, Zhong Qiang’s expression was ferocious. One hundred thousand Essence Pill had almost squeezed out all of his savings. If he could buy it well, as long as he used the Golden Pill to break through to the next realm, everything would be worth it. If he could not buy it, he would fulfill Ye Feng’s wish.
“120,000!”
Someone raised the price again, but it wasn’t Zhong Qiang. It came from a private room on the third floor.
“Zhong Yang, there’s something lively to see now!”
It was Zhong Yang who was helping Zhong Qiang with the auction. It seemed that he also knew that Zhong Qiang was eager to obtain these three golden pills.
“130,000!”
Ye Feng was still increasing the price carelessly, and the smile at the corner of his mouth was getting thicker and thicker, as if he was dealing with what he was thinking in his heart.
“140,000!”
The scene was completely silent, and Zhong Yang added another ten thousand yuan.
In another private room on the third floor, Tang Tian sat quietly on the same spot with a faint smile on his face.
“Patriarch, should we also help Ye Feng buy the Golden Pill?”
Tang Liangyun stepped forward at this time, hoping that the Patriarch would also help Ye Feng.
“No need, this brat is a ghost. It won’t be that simple. Moreover, this little Origin Essence Pill is nothing to him.”
Tang Tian did not tell everyone that 40 million Essence Pill had given 10 million to Ye Feng.
The price of 140,000 gold pills had already exceeded the value of the Gold Pills. Although the three Gold Pills were precious, they were worth at most 100,000 gold pills. Now, they were worth 140,000 gold pills.
“145,000!”
Ye Feng deliberately increased the price by 5,000 yuan, as if it made people feel that he was lacking in succession. He only had so many Essence Pill on him, so he couldn’t continue to increase.
“150,000!”
Zhong Yang quoted again, adding another 5,000. He had to buy a Golden Pill to help Zhong Qiang break through to the next realm.
“Alright, you win!”
Ye Feng spread out his hands. He chose to give up now because he knew that if it exceeded 150,000 yuan, Zhong Yang would definitely give up. Because there were still two left behind, he might put them behind.
No one else continued to bid. In the end, Zhong Yang paid 150,000 Essence Pill for the three golden pills in the first round.
“Patriarch Zhong, I forgot to tell you one thing. I refined this Golden Pill. I still have quite a bit of it with me. If Patriarch Zhong needs it, I can sell it to Patriarch Zhong at a low price. There’s no need to spend so much resources to buy it.”
Ye Feng’s words echoed throughout the auction house.
“What? This Golden Pill was actually refined by Ye Feng!”
Many people revealed strange smiles. The meaning was very obvious. Ye Feng was deliberately raising the price just now, causing the Zhong Clan to bleed heavily. This was Ye Feng’s original intention.
“Pu!”
Zhong Qiang spat out a mouthful of blood angrily, and his expression instantly became dispirited. Of course, he knew that the Patriarch had bought the Golden Pill for him. It turned out that this was a trap, and Ye Feng had deliberately dug it out and waited for them to jump in.
“Ye Feng, do you think your plan is very successful? Let me tell you, our Zhong Clan doesn’t care about this little bit of resources. If possible, we can buy the remaining two!”
The corner of Zhong Yang’s mouth twisted, but he still endured it. He actually suffered such a huge loss in public, and even fell into the hands of his enemy. Ye Feng made fun of him, wasting seventy to eighty thousand Essence Pill in vain.
If it was in the past, not to mention 70,000 or 80,000, even 700,000 or 800,000 would not care. However, the Zhong Clan was now different from the past. These days, they were living in extreme poverty, and they even felt like they could not unravel the situation. Now that Ye Feng had trapped them, how could they not be angry?
“This brat is really not a fuel-efficient lamp!”
Tang Tian had a smile on his face and a very satisfied expression. Over the past few decades, the Tang Clan had been suppressed by the Zhong Clan everywhere. However, in just a few short months, a heaven-shaking reversal had occurred. The Zhong Clan had suffered many losses and had been defeated by a person named Ye Feng.
Tang Liangyun also had a smile on his face. None of them had expected that this Golden Pill was actually refined by Ye Feng himself. Now, it had tricked the Zhong Clan.
“Then this junior would like to congratulate Clan Head Zhong. Congratulations on successfully buying the Golden Pill!”
Ye Feng’s tone was very calm. He congratulated him, but everyone could tell that his words were full of sarcasm.
Zhong Yang repeatedly went against him. Last time, when he went to Old Master Guo’s mansion, the Zhong family actually sent people to assassinate him. This completely angered Ye Feng. Furthermore, he had the chase order in hand. Ye Feng could not let the Zhong family go. He had to do everything he could to destroy it before he could revoke the chase order.
“Ye Feng, you were scared to death just now. Three Golden Pills sold for such a high price. What if Zhong Yang doesn’t follow?”
Tang Yan had a trace of reproach in her tone as she began to care about Ye Feng.
“He will follow. There are three reasons why he must follow.”
“What are the three reasons?”
Not to mention Tang Yan, Wang Ziao and Tong Shen were also very interested.
“Firstly, Zhong Qiang is currently at the peak of the third level of the Divine Martial Arts. He definitely needs to break through to the Golden Pill realm.”
The three of them nodded. This wasn’t hard to understand. It was the Hunter Divine Tournament right away. Who didn’t want their realm to advance?
“This second place is still based on the first place. Why is Zhong Qiang in such a hurry to buy the Golden Pill? Of course, he hopes to enter the Desolate Domain and devour it to break through to the fourth level of the Divine Martial Realm. This way, he can hunt without fear in the Desolate Domain. Of course, he also wants to kill me.”
Ye Feng said the second one, which was also based on the first one. Zhong Qiang was anxious to break through to the next realm, but he still wanted to kill himself, so he couldn’t wait to buy the Golden Pill.
“What about number three!”
They agreed with the first two points. The person the Zhong Clan wanted to kill the most right now was definitely Ye Feng.
“The third is Zhong Yang’s attack. I am even more certain that Zhong Yang will never give up on this Golden Pill. However, he has a bottom line. This bottom line is 150,000 yuan. If this amount is exceeded, he will definitely give up.”
Ye Feng smiled mysteriously.
“How did you know that Zhong Yang was at 150,000?”
The three of them were still puzzled. If Zhong Yang gave up at 140,000, wouldn’t Ye Feng want to buy it himself?
“Hehe, this is a secret, I can’t tell you!”
Ye Feng still revealed a mysterious smile and refused to say it out loud.
The three of them rolled their eyes, and it was not good for them to continue questioning. Ye Feng must have received some insider information.
