#774 - Killing intent gathers!

Wen Tailai's fists hardened.

He, a dignified Great Saint, had almost reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world, looking down upon all living beings.

But unfortunately, his Holy Land had been experiencing bad luck in recent years, with key resources such as spirit stone mines and blessed lands dwindling.

For the past few millennia, financial problems had been like a mountain, weighing heavily on his mind.

Moreover, when he broke through to the Great Saint realm, he had consumed a massive amount of resources, almost emptying the Holy Land's treasury.

Now, he was extremely short on funds, living a tight life.

Upon learning that the Myriad Clan Immortal City's auction would feature the Archaic Star Leaf Grass, which would greatly benefit his cultivation technique,

He shamelessly scraped together spirit stones from his disciples and grand-disciples, hoping to successfully acquire the Archaic Star Leaf Grass.

But as soon as the Archaic Star Leaf Grass was presented, Ye Chen directly bid twice the historical transaction price.

How could he compete with that?

He glared coldly at Ye Chen's private room, his murderous intent spreading like a tangible substance, his heart filled with extreme imbalance.

He had become a Great Saint and the ancestor of a Holy Land, yet he had to pinch pennies even when attending an auction.

And Ye Chen?

He was merely lucky enough to obtain the Heavenly Emperor's inheritance.

Yet he could bully an old senior like him, who had made his own way in the world, so brazenly at an auction.

This was unfair, extremely unfair.

"A mere King dares to be so reckless just because he obtained the Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove!"

"Does he not know that the cultivation world respects strength above all else?"

"I see that you have no regard for me, the Thundering Great Saint Wen Tailai!"

But was it his fault that others were poor?

He was in a hurry and would be scolded if he didn't finish the auction quickly.

If someone was a good person, they wouldn't harbor resentment or even murderous intent just because others were wealthy.

And if they did harbor murderous intent, then it meant they weren't good people.

Whether they joined the Myriad Clans in besieging him or wanted to ambush him, it was all the same.

After all, he hadn't seen his fiancée in so long!

He would definitely need a large amount of origin power to fill her up.

So, let them be dissatisfied!

The origin power arena was open, come if you dare.

…

The auction continued.

And Ye Chen's mood was particularly cheerful.

Ye Chen was very satisfied with his gains from this trip to the Myriad Clan Immortal City.

He not only obtained the Primordial Cave Heaven,

But also received the Little Peacock Matriarch's gratitude, allowing him to directly contact Yan Ruyu in the future.

There was also an auction specially prepared for him.

Allowing him to purchase a large number of treasures, spiritual plants, and divine materials that were rare to see outside and extremely important for Great Ascension stage cultivation.

Moreover, after it ended, there would be people actively delivering origin power to his door, helping him give his Hongmeng Supreme Body a boost.

A huge profit, a truly huge profit.

Ye Chen sighed comfortably.

At this time, Yao Yuezhi finally had a chance to speak.

She took a sip of water to calm herself, her face full of worry as she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Brother, why were you so fast today? Has the depletion of the cave heaven's origin power affected your physique? Why don't we stop here for today?"

Ye Chen's lips twitched upon hearing this…

He was just too excited.

How could there be a problem with his body?

So, after letting Yao Yuezhi rest for a moment and placing another bid,

Ye Chen restrained his emotions and began to earnestly prove to Yao Yuezhi that there was really no problem with his body.

…

For cultivators, it was common for an auction with many treasures to last for ten days or half a month.

After all, each treasure was extremely precious, and bidders would often repeatedly play games and haggle.

And now, this auction had even more treasures and higher quality.

And now, this auction not only had a large number of treasures, but also extremely high quality.

But surprisingly, the auction speed was astonishingly fast, and it was almost coming to an end in just two days.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Ye Chen's private room, their eyes full of amazement and greed.

The Heavenly Emperor's successor was really too wealthy!

An auction that originally might only have an actual value of several billion high-grade spirit stones,

Under Ye Chen's "crazy" operation, the transaction amount was forcibly raised to nearly ten billion.

Outrageous, really outrageous.

At this moment, everyone could almost be certain that the historical records were wrong.

The Heavenly Emperor seemed to be focused on revenge back then and didn't take any treasures during the cleanup, destroying them all during the war.

But in fact, he secretly took them all.

Perhaps that was why the Heavenly Emperor's successor had the confidence to sweep the auction house now.

Envy, really envy.

Their thousands of years of hard cultivation were really no match for the Heavenly Emperor's looting and killing back then.

And a group of Myriad Clan executives who were harvesting Ye Chen.

At this moment, as they tallied their gains, they felt extremely confused in addition to their excitement.

"After our Nine Nether Lotus was auctioned off by the Heavenly Emperor's successor at twice the price, he actually directly used two Nine Nether Lotuses with better color to deduct the price. What was he thinking?"

"Also, after the Heavenly Emperor's successor auctioned off our inferior extreme-grade weapon flying boat, he sent two flying boats with better materials, more complete functions, and faster speed. This operation is simply mind-boggling."

"My side is even more outrageous. After my divine pill was bought by the Heavenly Emperor's successor, he directly returned two pills, and they were even more effective."

"I don't understand, I really don't understand."

"I've seen spendthrifts, but the Heavenly Emperor's successor is really unprecedented."

"How much did the Heavenly Emperor embezzle back then?"

"I'm thinking, is the Heavenly Emperor's successor deliberately trying to confuse us? After all, he even buys non-cave heaven treasures, so that we hesitate and suspect whether there is really a problem with his cave heaven."

"But by doing so, he has exposed the richness of the Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove, making me even more tempted."

"The disciples in my clan can't hold back anymore!"

"Wait another month. If the Heavenly Emperor's successor doesn't take the initiative to leave the city, we'll find a way to force him to leave."

"A grand feast is about to begin!"

Watching the last auction item being forcefully taken down by the Heavenly Emperor's successor at double the price again,

A group of Myriad Clan executives communicated with each other in a sinister tone.

In their eyes, the Heavenly Emperor's successor was already a dead man!

And the treasures that Ye Chen had auctioned off now, as well as the countless treasures in the Heavenly Emperor's treasure trove,

Would soon change hands.
