Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 97

Chapter 97 Scroll Contention
Walking in the crowd, Ye Feng looked left and right, very novel.

“Young Master, what do you have in mind? I’ll sell it to you cheaply.”

Ye Feng stopped in front of a stall. The owner of the stall was a man in his thirties. He had a bearded face, and his strength was not bad. He was actually at the Earth Martial Realm.

Ye Feng glanced around. There were many broken bottles and some broken cans on the stall. A few old scrolls were almost 90% broken. It was estimated that they would be scrap if he bought them back.

“How much is this?”

Ye Feng picked up an old scroll and asked the big man.

“I found this scroll from a remote cave. If you want it, I’ll sell you a thousand spirit stones.”

The burly man glanced at the scroll and released a number.

Ye Feng viciously looked down on this scroll. This scroll was not even worth ten spirit stones. It actually cost a thousand spirit stones.

However, when Ye Feng saw this scroll, he always felt a sense of familiarity. He wanted to buy it impatiently. This feeling only flashed by, and Ye Feng only asked casually.

“I’ll give you fifty spirit stones. If you’re willing, I’ll buy them.”

Ye Feng thought for a moment and gave the price of fifty spirit stones.

‘”Young Master, your bargaining price is too ruthless. This scroll looks like something left behind from ancient times. The carvings on it are all ancient texts that we can’t recognize. The price of only selling a thousand spirit stones is already very cheap. If Young Master really wants it, we’ll make a deal with five hundred spirit stones.” The burly man was in a very difficult situation.

“A hundred spirit stones, nothing more.”

After saying that, Ye Feng stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Ye Feng was about to leave, the burly man seemed to be unable to sit still and quickly pulled Ye Feng back.

“Young master, I’ve been here for more than half a day now. I haven’t sold anything yet. You’re giving me some more. You can pick something from here.”

The burly man hoped that Ye Feng could increase the amount of spirit stones and take away a tattered piece from the stall.

Ye Feng secretly cursed. All the items on this stall together were not worth a hundred spirit stones. This burly man also didn’t know where to draw a pile of rags. Each item was sky-high in price. It could be counted as one that could be slaughtered.

“Only one hundred and fifteen spirit stones. There’s no more. If you want to buy one, we’ll make a deal!”

Ye Feng was adding fifty more spirit stones. Although Ye Feng did not care about spirit stones, he did not want to do anything wrong.

Seeing that Ye Feng had already made a gesture of leaving, the burly man saw that Ye Feng was determined and nodded with difficulty.

“Alright, just 150 spirit stones. Deal!”

Although the big man pretended to be difficult, his eyes still flickered with craftiness. He had picked this up from a cave, and even if he sold a spirit stone, it would still be in vain.

“I’ll give you a thousand spirit stones. I’ll take this scroll.”

Just as Ye Feng took out the spirit stones, a cold voice came from behind him.

This voice interrupted Ye Feng, who was in the middle of trading. Big Han looked behind Ye Feng and found a young man dressed in white, followed by several attendants.

“Young master, look at this scroll. I have already sold it to this young master.”

The burly man was in a very difficult situation. The white-clothed youth behind Ye Feng had a noble temperament. He looked like a disciple of a large family. This burly man did not dare to offend him, and his eyes revealed a look of embarrassment.

“Didn’t you guys conclude a deal? You bid for a thousand spirit stones. If the price is higher, I’m willing to give you a thousand spirit stones. As long as you’re willing, these spirit stones will be yours.”

After the white-clothed youth finished speaking, one of the attendants behind him immediately took out a thousand spirit stones. As long as the big man agreed, the spirit stones would be his.

Seeing the spirit stones, the big man’s eyes lit up. It was many times different from the 150 spirit stones Ye Feng had given him. However, he had already promised Ye Feng that unless Ye Feng voluntarily gave up.

Big Han Dynasty Ye Feng looked over, but Ye Feng completely ignored their conversation just now, threw 150 spirit stones on the stall, picked up the scroll and threw it into his storage ring, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Seeing that Ye Feng’s movements were neither anxious nor slow, a trace of killing intent flashed in the eyes of the white-clothed youth behind him.

The big-cheeked man made a helpless expression. He didn’t dare to offend the white-clothed youth. Ye Feng wore the clothes of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy, so the big-cheeked man wouldn’t offend him easily. The only way was to remain silent.

“Kid, didn’t you hear what our young master said just now? Our young master has taken a fancy to this scroll. Hurry up and take it out.”

Behind the white-clothed youth stood a forty-year-old guard and shouted angrily at Ye Feng.

“I took a fancy to this scroll first, and the price has been negotiated. Forgive me for not agreeing.”

Although the other party revealed a fierce expression, Ye Feng still maintained a low profile and did not want to interfere.

Seeing that Ye Feng was keeping a low profile, the guard’s flames instantly surged out, almost pointing at Ye Feng’s nose.

“Brat, don’t be shameless. Hurry up and take out the scroll.” The guard was very arrogant.

Just as Ye Feng was about to get angry, the white-clothed youth stopped the guard behind him and smiled at Ye Feng.

“Since you spent 150 spirit stones to buy this scroll, then I will still give you 1,000 spirit stones. As long as you are willing to sell the scroll to me, these spirit stones will be yours.” The white-clothed youth’s tone was very gentle, but he still couldn’t conceal the gloominess in his eyes.

“Not for sale!”

Ye Feng answered very straightforwardly. After saying that, he was about to leave this place.

Sure enough, Ye Feng’s reply made the white-clothed youth emit a murderous aura.

“Kid, you know who you’re talking to. Don’t think that you’re a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy, so we don’t dare to do anything to you. Even the Heavenly Spiritual Academy can’t interfere if our Guo Clan wants to kill you.”

The guard behind him finally revealed a naked killing intent. It turned out to be a member of the Guo Clan.

The situation here had already attracted quite a few people. Countless gazes looked over. After the white-clothed youth revealed his identity, waves of exclamations came from the crowd.

‘”So he’s from the Guo Clan. In recent years, the Guo Clan’s strength has increased day by day. It seems to be on par with the four great powers of the Divine Continent of the Southern Domain. Now, Daluo College is ranked first, followed by Veluriyam Valley and Guiyun Fort’s strength vaguely surpasses that of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy. Could it be that the Guo Clan’s rapid rise has also formed the structure of five great powers?” Some people seemed to know the origins of the Guo Clan.

Ye Feng had also heard of this Guo Clan. It was also an aristocratic clan that had inherited for a thousand years. The clan’s foundation was very strong. Especially in recent years, it had merged with many small clans. Even some second-rate sects were unable to contend against the Guo Clan’s strength.

“I know this young man. He seems to be the second son of the current Guo Clan Patriarch. Guo Zifei is ranked in the upper echelons among the many children. He is highly valued by the Guo Clan Patriarch. Why did he come to Su City this time?” Someone recognized the youth’s origin.

“Don’t you know that Guo Zifei’s favorite thing is to collect all kinds of things left behind from the ancient times? No matter what tattered scrolls or broken bottles or cans, he likes to collect them. I wonder how he likes this scroll anymore.” Someone said.

All kinds of discussions in the surroundings unconsciously reached Ye Feng’s ears. He frowned. It was not that Ye Feng was afraid of things, it was just that he was unwilling to interfere.

“Brat, I’ll give you another chance to hand over the scroll.”

The guards behind him were extremely arrogant. They were even more aggressive when they heard that the people around them were very afraid of the strength of the Guo Clan.

“I’ve already bought the scroll. If you want it, it’s not impossible. I’m afraid you won’t be able to afford it!” Seeing that the other party was so arrogant, a trace of anger flashed across Ye Feng’s face.

“Say, as long as it’s within my tolerance, I’ll agree to it.”

When the white-clothed youth heard Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief, he lowered his stance.

“One million spirit stones. As long as you can afford it, the scroll will be yours!” Ye Feng released a number.

“Hiss!”

A cold breath came from all around, especially from the stall owner behind Ye Feng. He was extremely stimulated. This Ye Feng was really a lion, actually asking for a million spirit stones. It was estimated that he could buy these spirit stones even if it was a Half Immortal Skill.

“You’re playing me.”

Guo Zifei clearly knew that Ye Feng was playing tricks on him. One million spirit stones, even if the Guo Clan was huge, would not be able to mobilize such a large amount at once.

“Since you can’t afford it, please step aside!”

After Ye Feng finished speaking, he was about to leave this place. In any case, Su City forbade fighting, so Ye Feng was not afraid of them attacking.

“Brat, I remember you!”

After the white-clothed youth finished speaking, he turned around and left. The four guards behind him glared at Ye Feng with cold killing intent.

Seeing the white-clothed youth leave, the surrounding spectators dispersed. They were still discussing the matter just now. Many people thought that Ye Feng could sell the scroll. If he bought 150 spirit stones, he would earn 800 spirit stones. Why not?

Ye Feng also slowly left the crowd and walked deeper. Then, he went to find something useful. Actually, Ye Feng relied entirely on his senses. In that instant, he wanted to buy the scroll with a flash of spirit light. As for why, Ye Feng could not explain it.

After a while, Ye Feng did not make a move again. Indeed, there was no ideal item. No one would sell a truly good item.

“The Heaven’s End Sea Pavilion’s auction is about to begin. Let’s go take a look. After all, it’s once a year. We can’t miss it.”

Quite a few people were scattering in the surroundings. In the morning trading, there weren’t many people left here.

Seeing everyone leave, Ye Feng stopped a young man.

“Brother, what do you mean by the Heaven’s End Sea Pavilion’s auction?” Ye Feng did not understand.

Seeing that Ye Feng was a disciple of the Heavenly Spiritual Academy, this young man was very polite.

“Brother, don’t you know? Every year, the Skyline Sea Pavilion will hold a large-scale auction in Su City, and a small-scale auction every three months. At the end of the year, a large-scale auction will be held, and a large number of treasures will be sold in the form of an auction.” The youth introduced Ye Feng.

“There’s still such a thing.” Ye Feng was a little surprised.

“Brother, if you don’t find anything you like here, I suggest you go to the Heavenly Horizon Sea Pavilion Auction. As long as you have a lot of resources, there’s no need to worry about buying a suitable treasure.” The young man said and left.

“Let’s go to the Horizon Sea Pavilion!”

Seeing a large number of people rushing towards the other side of the street, Ye Feng followed the crowd and disappeared instantly. Who knew how many people were hanging behind him? They were the two guards behind Guo Zifei just now.
