Chapter 62

Chapter 62 End of the Auction

Six hundred million .

That voice was extremely young and lazy . Everyone turned their heads to look at the private room it had come from .

When they saw it was Long Chens private room, a strange expression appeared on several people .

Back when Long Chen had been about to obtain the Starfusing Grass, Ying Hou had purposely said some things that had incited Xia Baichi to fight with him over it . Now from Long Chens words, it appeared he was looking for some revenge .

Several people were praising Long Chen inside . There were few people in the entire Phoenix Cry Empire who would dare compete with Ying Hou .

Ying Hous face darkened . He hadnt expected that Long Chen who had been silent for so long would suddenly take this chance to look for trouble with him .

Seven hundred million .

But at this point, he couldnt cower . That medicinal pill was something he absolutely had to obtain no matter the price .

Otherwise, with his status, there was no way that he would thicken his face to plead with Wang Luyang . That medicinal pill was just that important to him .

A pleased smile appeared on Long Chens face . Now he could take revenge on Ying Hou for what he had done to him just before . He couldnt help feeling fresh and brighter inside .

He had always been using divine sense to pay attention to Xia Changfengs private room . Having learned from them that Ying Hou treated this Flesh Bone Restoration Pill as a must have, if he didnt go get some vengeance then he wouldnt be Long Chen .

Although he knew offending Ying Hou was unwise, he didnt worry too much about that . First hed relieve some of his anger .

He didnt believe that Ying Hou would actually go overboard against him for such a thing . With the alchemist guild behind him as a support, he had the confidence to provoke Ying Hou .

Eight hundred million .

The Huayun Pavilion didnt send any warnings to him despite his high bids . Yao Niqian was actually excited inside, however she hid her emotions extremely well .

Master Long Chen bids eight hundred million . Are there any higher bids? If not, then this high grade Flesh Bone Restoration Pill will be handed to him, announced Yao Niqian .

Wait a moment, I doubt that Long Chen actually has that much money . Hes just making empty bids .

Ying Hous feminine voice now held a trace of anger . Although he had suppressed, people could still hear the fury in his voice .

Is senior Ying Hou questioning our integrity? Yao Niqians smile immediately receded and she angrily said, Young master Long Chen is grandmaster Yun Qis student . Everyone in the Phoenix Cry Empire knows this . Before the auction, grandmaster Yun Qi transferred all his credit to young master Long Chen . Does senior Ying Hou still think that young master Long Chen is making empty bids?

Yao Niqians words were rather blunt and impolite . Obviously Ying Hou had truly angered her by breaking the rules .

Now that she had the opportunity, she would naturally relieve some of her anger . She was a woman, and a women knew how to hold grudges . Once you angered them, they would no longer be that gentle and soft .

Everyone gasped when they learned that grandmaster Yun Qi had transferred his credit to Long Chen .

That meant Long Chen had the true support of the entire alchemist guild . That kind of guarantee meant Long Chen could reserve anything he wanted . Who dared to say he had no money?

But even Long Chen was dazed . How come he hadnt known about this? But he quickly realized that Ying Hous actions had angered the Huayun Pavilion . They were supporting him in order to give Ying Hou a slap in the face .

Ying Hous expression was extremely ugly now . If what Yao Niqian had said was true then he really wouldnt be able to compete against Long Chen in terms of financial resources .

One billion .

Ying Hou pushed down his anger and raised the bid by a whole two hundred million . A billion gold coins! Just to buy a second tier medicinal pill! That was definitely unprecedented .

With Ying Hous financial ability, a billion gold coins was already several years worth of savings .

Brother Long, how about you dont bid again? Its already quite frightening . Shou Hou was quietly shivering .

Back when Long Chen had bid they had all been completely shocked . A simple opening of his mouth was equivalent to a hundred million gold even if it wasnt their money, it was still breathtaking .

But Long Chen only smiled something . He was highly suspicious that Ying Hou was the one who had stolen his cultivation ability . Now it was just him getting back some interest .

One billion five hundred million .

Immediately after Shou Hou finished, Long Chen raised the bid, almost scaring Shou Hou to the point of fainting .

Ying Hou had just raised the price by two hundred million all at once . But now Long Chen was even more vicious, directly raising the price by half a billion! He was clearly using Yun Qis money to suppress Ying Hou .

The crowd was completely silent . Even Wang Luyang was flabbergasted . That price had long since exceeded his expectations .

Although he only had a middle grade Flesh Bone Recovery Pill and it wasnt inferior to the high grade pill, there was still a large chance of him being able to figure out the pill formula from studying it . Therefore he had also given up at this time .

Crack . The teacup in Ying Hous hand was crushed, and even the tea that splashed onto his body was completely unnoticed by him .

Blue veins were pulsing on his forehead . If he didnt know that the Huayun Pavilion had a powerful backer, he would have already charged out to go kill Long Chen .

Long Chen, you want to obtain this pill that badly? coldly asked Ying Hou .

Long Chen laughed . He could tell that Ying Hou had spit these words out through clenched teeth . In other words, he was exceptionally enraged, probably even more enraged than Long Chen had been when trying to obtain the Starfusing Grass .

Well, actually this thing is pretty much useless to me, indifferently said Long Chen .

Then youre purposely making an enemy of me? raged Ying Hou .

You cant put it that way . I have several reasons for wanting to obtain this thing . Reason number one is that its an ancient pill . Even if I have to pay a high price for it, its still worth it . If I bring it back to my teacher he also wouldnt scold me . In fact he might even praise me .

Reason number two is that you pissed me off just now . My temperament is a bit strange . I can take anything, but I cant take a lose like that .

Reason number three is that just like you, my father is also one of the three great supports of this Phoenix Cry Empire . He spends his days guarding the wild border, fighting against enemies constantly, completing heroic contributions . But my family became penniless, unable to even keep a dozen servants .

But you, Ying Hou, who are on the same level as my father, who lazes his days in the imperial palace, actually has this much money .

So I was curious just how big the difference between us was . Just how rich is senior Ying Hou; just how many times more money does he have than my Long family? smiled Long Chen .

The majority of the people present were members of the Phoenix Cry Empire . Although Long Chen had been laughing as he said those things, everyone could hear his resentment .

So you want to fight with me till the end? lightly asked Ying Hou as he looked down at his broken teacup, killing intent surfacing in his eyes .

Not really . Maybe if you increase the price again youll win; or maybe if some people are able to tactfully display their own apologies, then my Long family will consider it and withdraw from this competition, said Long Chen .

Hahaha, fine, a tiger father truly has a tiger son . The younger generation truly does surpass the old one . I admit defeat today . Allow me to shamelessly make one last bid one billion five hundred and one million, laughed Ying Hou .

Everyone was stupefied, never expecting that Long Chen would actually be able to force Ying Hou to bow his head . Ying Hous admittance of defeat already said everything .

Long Chen smiled slightly . It appeared he had already reached Ying Hous bottom line . His adding of a paltry one million obviously meant that if Long Chen were to make another bid, he would give up .

But if he did give up, he would not hold back from taking extreme measures . Long Chen knew when to quit while he was ahead, and so he didnt increase the bid again .

Today already counted as his victory . An expert on the same level as his father was pushed into defeat by him . Moreover he had also managed to release some of his anger in this grand setting .

But his actually strength still wasnt enough . He couldnt force Ying Hou too far, otherwise if Ying Hou was truly angered, he would make him disappear without leaving behind a single trace . Even the alchemist guild wouldnt be able to investigate it .

And even if they did investigate at that time, he would already be dead, so there was no point . Revenge had to be taken one step at a time .

Yao Niqian had returned to her smiling self . Seeing that no one else was competing, she began to count down .

Finally Ying Hou had his wish fulfilled and obtained the Flesh Bone Restoration Pill .

Confetti suddenly started to rain down and music began to play . A dozen colorful young maidens danced gracefully .

Yao Niqian gave a gracious thanks to everyone for participating . This times Huayun Pavilions auction had finally ended . The guests slowly started to leave .

Long Chen wasnt in a rush . He waited till most of the crowd had left before exiting his private room .

But as soon as he walked out, he ended up running into several people . Those people were precisely Xia Changfeng, Chu Yang, and Xia Baichi .

Long Chen, dont think you can be arrogant just because of Yun Qis support . The Empress Dowager has already decided to give the third princess to my brother . In the future she will be brothers woman, so a lowly peasant like you should stop having any intentions about her, sneered Xia Baichi .

Oh, arent you that woman who was sharing a bed with your master? Now that your master has left, dont you need to go attend to him? Before Long Chen even had a chance to say anything, Shou Hou had already retorted .

Having muddled along with Long Chen for so long, he had become much more confident . He wouldnt be able to feel at peace without causing a bit of trouble .

Xia Baichis expression changed; Shou Hous words were a vicious slap in the face for her .

Back on that day, Xia Baichi had gone crazy and admitted to some scandalous affairs in front of many people . However no one dared comment on it to her face . In the end, she had actually ended up fooling herself into thinking that they hadnt heard her due to how far the crowd had been .

Youre asking for it!

Xia Baichi had just been about to charge over when Xia Changfeng pulled her back . After all, this was the Huayun Pavilions territory, and fighting was prohibited .

Long Chen, it is already set in stone that Chu Yao will be my woman . Dont have any fanciful thoughts . I am the Grand Xias prince, while you are just a noble heir . Our statuses are far too different, indifferently said Xia Changfeng .

Long Chen seemed to not even hear what he said . He knew the reason they had come over was to provoke him .

He had long since heard this news, so that provocation was unable to hurt him . Long Chen suddenly saw one of the guards behind the crown prince and said, I seem to have seen you before?

That guard smiled slightly . I am the crown princes guard, so its normal for you to have seen me .

No, I think Ive seen you in a very particular place . For example, near the martial arena . Long Chen looked closely at him .

That guard didnt reply, merely looking back at Long Chen .

Long Chen smiled slightly and said to Xia Changfeng, Your face is turning black; a great calamity is about to befall you . Try to be careful .

After saying that, he brought his friends out of the Huayun Pavilion . But as soon as he left, Fu Gui ran up to him .

The boss wants to see you .
