Chapter 32: The Ability to Bend and Stretch (Please add to your favorites and continue reading)

Ying Zhenlin was insanely jealous of Jiang Jingyun, unaware that Jiang Jingyun was also feeling the pinch.

Five hundred and eighty thousand.

It is 30,000 more than the 550,000 of the second-place Ji Boyue.

He was also influenced by the two men's frenzy in the final moments, fearing defeat at the last second, so he pushed down the chip tower as well.

It hurt to spend the money, but thankfully we managed to secure the French core in the end.

As long as the legal documents are in hand, it's nothing more than a financial loss, not a failure.

For them, money can be earned back, but the Earth-rank 'Devouring' magic core is a nearly extinct resource, and they will spend any amount of money to acquire it.

The intense bidding has come to a temporary end, and as expected, the price of the Heavenly Dao Coins has begun to plummet.

After paying 10% of the auction fee, Li Chunfeng received 522,000 coins.

With so much money, he definitely couldn't spend it all in Yuancheng in a short time. The best way was to plan ahead and convert all the Heavenly Dao Coins into strength. He didn't want to leave with the money still unspent.

They also need to exchange some Taoist merit points for external expenses.

But seeing that the exchange rate of the currency is about to drop below 100, I'd better sell some quickly.

Ten thousand coins equal a million Dao merits, enough to support him in forging the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe.

"Ten thousand?"

Jia Fu, who was in charge of the acquisition stall, glanced at him, seemingly mocking him for not selling earlier.

"Don't accept it?"

"Okay, I can only offer you 90 at the current market price."

"One piece of 90 Dao Gong?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chunfeng immediately stopped what he was doing. He was poor, not stupid. "Then let's not sell it. Maybe another Earth-rank item will appear at the trading center tomorrow."

"Tch, do you think your local high-class goods are as cheap as cabbage? Take it or leave it."

Times have changed. Just a moment ago, we were begging others to sell, but now it's the capital market. Buying at a high price isn't out of the question, but it's not for retail investors.

Li Chunfeng glanced at him indifferently, "One should not go too far in anything, or the relationship will inevitably end sooner."

"I'll give you one more chance. Offer a high price to buy my coins, or you'll be the one begging me to sell them to you later."

Jia Fu remained calm and showed no intention of engaging in further verbal sparring with Li Chunfeng. His family was in business, and by his generation, he no longer needed to manage it. However, having grown up surrounded by such people, he had seen far too many of them; it was perfectly normal for them to be upset and speak impulsively when their interests were harmed.

If he were to argue back, he would most likely be scolded, which would be just making trouble for himself.

Just ignore it.

"as you like."

Jia Fu estimated that this acquisition booth wouldn't last long; it might be taken down tomorrow.

He wasn't the owner of the stall; they were all geniuses from the same city. He was there to help a friend but didn't want to be tied to the stall long-term.

Just as everyone was feeling bored, a commotion suddenly erupted in the trading center. "What's going on? What's happening?"

"Earth-rank talent advancement stone? Are you kidding me? Earth-rank items are so common now, you should be putting them up for sale in quick succession."

"Another Earth-rank item up for auction, is it true?"

Jia Fu glanced ahead and saw a bright, gleaming Earth-rank talent advancement stone at the top of the auction list.

The same location makes it hard not to think of the madness that just devoured the magic core.

This auction lasted only two days.

The image of the masked, black-robed man from earlier flashed through Jia Fu's mind, and he hesitated for a moment, "Could it be him?"

"You want me to beg you to sell me the coins... at least leave me your contact information."

Li Chunfeng had already found out that not everyone who achieved a god-like rating during the first level of the Abyss Tribulation would receive a Rank 1 item as a reward.

Others who receive a "Godlike" rating will be rewarded with Xuan-rank items, while Di-rank items are extremely rare.

"Yuancheng probably knows that my performance during the initial tribulation exceeded the level of a god, so he gave me a rank earth talent advancement stone as compensation."

So even though they're both considered godlike, they're actually different.

One's ceiling is only at godlike status, and the other's ceiling is only at godlike status!

If a Tier 1 Devouring Core is extremely rare, then a Tier 1 Talent Advancement Stone is equally precious.

It's the kind of thing you can get your hands on, and even if you don't need it yourself, you'd never sell it.

If used properly, its value is not much less than that of devouring magic cores.

The reappearance of Tier 1 items reignited the already heated atmosphere in the trading center. The news spread quickly, with some immediately returning to the real world to call on their friends.

With the precedent of devouring the core of the magic, the bidders this time all tacitly began to quickly accumulate coins.

The price of Tiandao coins followed a perfect rollercoaster arc, experiencing a trough before a strong rebound.

Li Chunfeng was a man of his word; if he wanted someone to beg him to sell, then that person had to beg him.

He reappeared at the stall, "Friend, what's the price this time?"

"Oh, brother... Your Excellency has finally arrived." Jia Fu's face instantly lit up with a smile. "I'm so sorry, so sorry. I was presumptuous and had a bad attitude. Please forgive me, Your Excellency..."

"You did nothing wrong, so there's no need to apologize. Everyone's busy, so name your price. I'll sell it to you for 100,000 coins this time. If the price isn't right, you'll have to go look next door."

Although he was wearing a mask, Jia Fu could still detect a hint of mockery in his tone.

One hundred thousand Heavenly Dao Coins!

If he had just given that number, none of that would have happened.

After thinking carefully for a while, Jia Fu said, "The current market price is 120 Dao Gong per coin. Given that you have a lot of Heavenly Dao Coins, we can offer 140 Dao Gong. What do you think?"

140?

This price has exceeded expectations. Li Chunfeng began to silently calculate how many Dao merits he could earn.

Moreover, after selling the Earth-rank talent stone, he will receive a large amount of Heavenly Dao Coins, so his output this time will be very large.

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Jia Fu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. This was troublesome. "150, that's already the highest price we've ever offered. We can't go any higher."

Li Chunfeng: "...Your attitude was bad just now."

"sorry!"

Jia Fu bowed ninety degrees, his main strength being his ability to bend and stretch. Not satisfied, he slapped himself on the mouth and said with a smirk, "155, brother, that's really the most I can do. I'm just helping someone else run the shop, I can't explain it if the price is too high."

Suddenly recalling Li Chunfeng's boastful words when he left, Jia Fu, though inwardly disgusted, put on the most obsequious smile, bowed again at a ninety-degree angle, and said solemnly, "Please sell it to me!"

Li Chunfeng blinked, “...Alright then.”

I've vented my anger; making money is the priority now.

A little face, how much is it worth?

How should we make the deal?

Jia Fu breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he might change his mind, and also wanted to close the deal as soon as possible. "This is an anonymous Dao Gong savings card from the Eight Desolations Bank. Each card contains a fixed amount. You can exchange it at any branch of the Eight Desolations Bank or any bank that has a chain business with the Eight Desolations Bank."

"Thank you."

The deal was successfully completed, and this thank you surprised Jia Fu quite a bit.

Look at their attitude! They were clearly very polite. It seems I really was rude just now; my words caused the trouble. I really shouldn't have said that.

He began to reflect on himself, and the smile on his face became more sincere. "May I ask, elder brother, is that Earth-rank talent advancement stone yours?"

"Guess."

"Can we add each other as friends, brother?"

Li Chunfeng smiled and strode away.

He turned around, changed his clothes, and went to another shop to sell another 100,000 coins. This time the price was slightly lower, at 140 coins per coin.

The following day, they went to the third, fourth, and fifth companies.

They even made deals with the Demon Realm and the Ghost Realm, trading 50,000 Heavenly Dao Coins for 5,000 low-grade source stones and 30,000 first-tier soul crystals and 1,000 second-tier soul crystals.

After much difficulty, I finally cleared out all the Heavenly Coins in my hand.

In the blink of an eye, the auction for the Earth-Rank Talent Advancement Stone ended, and he once again gained 380,000 Heavenly Dao Coins.

He also possessed 50 million Dao power, and countless source stones and soul crystals.

He suddenly understood the meaning of the saying that money is just a number.

I've never been this rich in either of my lives, how am I supposed to spend it all... Never mind, it's almost Chinese New Year, I'm going to go to Heaven on Earth for a sauna first!
Meanwhile, Lu Yun'er and her mother disembarked from the flying boat, and as soon as their phones connected to the internet, they eagerly searched for news about the Mountain and Sea Boundary City. The most popular topic about the Mountain and Sea Boundary City was still the great war between the two realms several years ago.

Then I found Shanhai Academy.

Wait, war orphans are being sent back to the academy. Is Li Chunfeng a war orphan?
At Shanhai Academy.

Since Li Chunfeng left, Hu Yifei has had no one to bicker with, and he suddenly feels a little unaccustomed to it.

Especially these past few days, he's been distracted even while practicing boxing with Chen Lingsu.

Judging by the time, Li Chunfeng should have passed his first tribulation by now, so why is there still no news?
"careful!"

He had just lost focus when Chen Lingsu's fist suddenly flew straight towards his eye socket.

"what."

Hu Yifei clutched his head and cried out in pain.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Chen Lingsu squatted down and looked at him apologetically.

A faint fragrance wafted over, and Hu Yifei immediately snapped out of his daze, waving his hand and saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I was just daydreaming."

Even though he ended up with a panda eye, he felt the punch was worth it because he got the goddess's attention.

Just then, his phone rang, so Hu Yifei walked to the side and answered it. It was an email from an unknown number, containing a video message.

Upon clicking out of curiosity, a burst of rousing battle music began to play.

"Meow meow meow~"
