Chapter 252: Chapter 13 Fight the Rich

Zhuge Zheng said in a loud voice, “Although the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture records only Yellow Rank and Dark Stage arrays and the Spirit Array Skill, it is indeed the best inheritance for laying a solid foundation. In the Ancient Era, the Xuantian Sect was renowned for creating the most solid foundation for disciples just beginning to learn the Spirit Array. If one were to obtain this Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture, they would undoubtedly be able to achieve a brilliant life on the path of becoming a Spirit Array Master and become the great Spirit Array Master whom everyone admires.”

Hearing Zhuge Zheng’s words, Shen Ziqing grew more and more excited.

It was as if he was fantasizing about becoming a great Spirit Array Master one day.

Every Goddess and Immortal kneeling before him, begging him to take them…

Just the thought of it was indescribably wonderful.

But in reality, Shen Ziqing was simply indulging in self-deceptive fantasies. At the age of twenty-one and after starting to learn the Spirit Array at the age of ten, he had spent eleven years and was still an apprentice, clearly lacking the natural talent to become a Spirit Array Master.

“The starting bid for the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture is two million Gold Coins, and each increment must be no less than two hundred thousand!” Ouyang Jing announced!

“Boom…”

The entire auction house erupted in commotion.

This Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture was the auction item with the highest starting bid since the beginning of the sale.

But this was normal!!

Any item related to Spirit Array Masters always fetched extremely high prices!

Many people showed interest in the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture.

Because these great forces generally had Spirit Array Masters and would also train Spirit Array Masters, they naturally could make use of the Supreme Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture.

“Three million!” A man dressed in a black robe made the first bid.

Soon, the price soared!

“Four million!”

“Five million!”

“Six million!”

“Seven million!”

“Ten million!”

“Thirty million!”

“A hundred million!” In no time, the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture’s price had escalated to an astronomical one hundred million.

“Two hundred million!” A sudden voice rang out.

It was Shen Ziqing.

Shen Ziqing was the Young Master of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association, boasting significant wealth.

Many people frowned slightly.

Ordinary powers could not afford to train Spirit Array Masters.

Top-level forces, of course, could.

However, these top-level forces already had a complete training system including various fundamental arrays and Spirit Array Skills.

For them, acquiring the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture was merely “gilding the lily.”

But if they were to spend a huge price on this Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture, it would inevitably affect the purchase of other treasures.

With this in mind, many backed out.

“Congratulations, Young Master. You are about to obtain the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture!”

Several flatterers surrounding Shen Ziqing all said with smiles.

“Haha, we too congratulate Brother Shen.”

A few young nobles who were friends with Shen Ziqing also offered their congratulations one after another!

Among them was someone Lin Feng would surely recognize if he saw him.

It was none other than Jin Wuzhong, who had previously ridden the Flame Lion with reckless abandon.

…

“Sure, sure, after I become a Spirit Array Master, you’re all welcome to come to me for anything, this Young Master will certainly not shirk responsibility!”

Shen Ziqing said with a smile.

Several young masters held contempt in their hearts, “You become a Spirit Array Master? In your dreams. If it weren’t for the fact that you’re filthy rich, who would flatter you?”

Of course, these thoughts were not something the young masters would openly speak of.

They still wanted to follow Shen Ziqing to enjoy a life of luxury; after all, Shen Ziqing had endless money to spend.

…

Just when Shen Ziqing fully believed he was about to obtain the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture, a voice rang out!

“Two hundred and ten million!”

Everyone looked over and saw another young man making the bid.

“Who’s this guy?”

Many were curious, guessing Lin Feng’s identity. It was incredibly rare to see a junior capable of forking over several hundred million Gold Coins.

“It’s this kid!”

Jin Wuzhong instantly became furious.

One of the young masters said, “Is this the same guy who had a conflict with you and took your Flame Lion?”

“That’s right, it’s him!”

Jin Wuzhong glared at Lin Feng with a look so hateful he seemed like he wanted to tear Lin Feng to shreds.

“Where did this brat come from, daring to compete with this Young Master for the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture?”

Shen Ziqing’s expression darkened slightly as he coldly spoke.

Lin Feng glanced at Shen Ziqing and slightly raised his eyebrows upon seeing Jin Wuzhong at his side. It appeared these people were in cahoots; it seemed Shen Ziqing was likely no good individual either.

He casually remarked, “At the auction, the item goes to the highest bidder. Whoever offers the most gets the item.”

“Hahaha… Lad, are you trying to compete with me over who has more money? What a joke, what a joke! It’s utterly humiliating for anyone to dare think they can outbid this Young Master, a complete overestimation of one’s own resources.”

Shen Ziqing looked disdainfully at Lin Feng, extending three fingers, “Three hundred million!”

He hiked up the bid by ninety million in one go!

“Isn’t this the son of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association president?”

“Yeah, that’s Shen Tiangmo’s son.”

“Hehe, it looks like Shen Tiangmo has only focused on making money these past years, raising his son to be too aggressive.”

Some shook their heads discreetly.

If it were usual aggressiveness, it wouldn’t matter!

But today, with so many representatives from top-level forces present, what kind of impression would a junior’s arrogant and insufferable demeanor leave on these powerful individuals?

In contrast, Lin Feng was calm, composed, with an air of nonchalance.

Both were young, but the difference in stature was immediately evident!

“Three hundred and ten million!” Lin Feng continued bidding.

He didn’t aggressively jack up the price, even though Lin Feng now had access to sixteen billion Gold Coins in funds.

“Five hundred million”

Shen Ziqing said coldly.

“Five hundred and ten million!”

Lin Feng kept bidding.

“Kid, who do you think you are, daring to compete with me? Eight hundred million! I bid Eight hundred million Gold Coins for the Ancient Xuantian Sect Secret Scripture, continue to bid if you have the funds.”

Shen Ziqing stood up, sneering as he spoke.

Lin Feng maintained his serene demeanor, “Eight hundred and ten million.”

“You…”

Shen Ziqing was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he collapsed onto his seat.

Though he was the son of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association president, the most he could muster up was eight hundred million Gold Coins in funds.

He couldn’t raise any more money.

Many were moved, not expecting Lin Feng to possess such wealth, enough to suppress the son of the Sky Dragon Commerce Association.

Shen Ziqing’s face couldn’t have been uglier. He had never lost in a bidding war, but today, he lost to Lin Feng in front of so many people. Remembering how he had just scorned Lin Feng, it felt as if he was being repeatedly slapped in his own face.

“Eight hundred and ten million Gold Coins scared you off? I thought you had much more. Turns out you’re just a poor wretch making a fuss over nothing,” Lin Feng sneered.

“What did you say?” Shen Ziqing was gnashing his teeth in fury, his face contorting. He had always been the one calling others poor wretches, but today, to be mocked as a pauper himself, how could Shen Ziqing accept this?

“Hahaha…” Many laughed out loud upon seeing Lin Feng squeeze Shen Ziqing like this. Many had long felt aversion to Shen Ziqing’s condescending attitude. Now seeing Shen Ziqing’s twisted face was truly a satisfying sight.
