CHAPTER 1053: CHAPTER 1054: DRAGON SERPENT FRUIT

After a long period of stunned silence, Liu Yi suddenly reacted and knelt down directly before Chu Fengmian.

"Thank you, Senior, for recreating me. Liu Yi is willing to serve you for life, to be a slave and servant."

Forty Spirit Veins—without Chu Fengmian, Liu Yi could never have such qualifications in her life.

Following Chu Fengmian was undoubtedly the wisest choice she had ever made.

"No need for that, get up. You only need to help me manage the Huangtian Sect and work for me."

Chu Fengmian looked at Liu Yi and calmly spoke.

Chu Fengmian arrived at the Ancient Monster Continent knowing nothing, and he just needed someone to help him gather information.

Moreover, the vastness of the Ancient Monster Continent is no less than the Nine Domains, and searching for Han Yueli and Luo Xi there is like finding a needle in a haystack.

Relying on only his own strength was too difficult, but with the power of a sect, it would naturally be much easier.

Chu Fengmian’s assistance to Liu Yi also carried a bit of intent to cultivate her.

"Senior Chu wants to take on the Huangtian Sect?"

Liu Yi got up and, upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, asked in some surprise.

She had not expected that Chu Fengmian actually wanted her to take charge of the Huangtian Sect.

"Of course not. What is a mere Huangtian Sect anyway? Those useless people provoked me, so naturally, they need to pay some price. Besides, I need your Huangtian Sect to do some things for me as well."

Chu Fengmian spoke casually.

"You stay in this box and cultivate first. Here are some elixir pills, enough to assist your cultivation. It’s not yet time for you to work for me."

With a wave of his hand, several jade bottles flew towards Liu Yi.

"Yes."

Liu Yi nodded, accepted the jade bottles, and quietly sat down on the chair, closing her eyes to start cultivating.

She also wanted to experience the effects of forty Spirit Veins.

Chu Fengmian set up a soundproof barrier around Liu Yi so that the conversations outside wouldn’t disturb her.

At this moment, Wang Zhenliu finally suppressed the shock in his heart and spoke to Chu Fengmian.

"Mr. Chu’s methods really open this old man’s eyes."

"Some minor tricks, not worth mentioning."

Chu Fengmian spoke casually, not bothering to explain anything. But such methods, only Chu Fengmian alone in this world could accomplish.

Because Chu Fengmian had previously opened Spirit Veins and condensed Divine Veins, he was thoroughly familiar with the forty-nine Spirit Veins in his body, which allowed him to help others open Spirit Veins.

If it were anyone else trying to do what Chu Fengmian did, those opening the Spirit Veins wouldn’t know how many times they would have died.

"The auction of the Dragon Snake Fruit should be soon, right?"

Chu Fengmian spoke casually.

Helping Liu Yi condense her Spirit Veins took an hour, and the auction had already entered its middle stage.

The appearance of the Dragon Snake Fruit should be imminent.

"The next auction item is the Dragon Snake Fruit."

Not wanting to say more, Wang Zhenliu followed along with Chu Fengmian’s words.

"It’s said that Young Master Lei is already present, and he has made it clear that he is determined to get the Dragon Snake Fruit."

"Oh? Whatever Young Master Lei says, at an auction, it’s all about wealth. We’ll see who can compete with me."

Chu Fengmian snorted coldly.

Once his Divine Veins are restored, even if Inspector Lei Yan, Young Master Lei’s father, dares to confront Chu Fengmian, there will only be one outcome—death.

"The next auction item."

As the previous auction item concluded, a jade box appeared on the stage.

In the jade box was placed the Dragon Snake Fruit, the red snake-head fruit Chu Fengmian had seen earlier.

"The Dragon Snake Fruit, a Dragon Snake Fruit of top quality. Everyone present should know what it represents, so I won’t introduce it one by one,"

The Great Sacrificial Officer said, smiling as he spoke on stage.

"The starting bid for this Dragon Snake Fruit is one million top-grade Spirit Stones!"

"One million top-grade Spirit Stones?"

Hearing this starting price, many Martial Artists below were taken aback. Normally, a Dragon Snake Fruit fetches about half a million top-grade Spirit Stones.

Although this particular Dragon Snake Fruit reached top quality, the starting bid was unexpectedly high.

"Will anyone bid at such a high price?"

The Martial Artists were somewhat in disbelief, but before their voices had faded, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Five million top-grade Spirit Stones, I want that Dragon Snake Fruit!"

Nearby Chu Fengmian, a boisterous voice suddenly emerged from the second box.

The owner of the voice was Young Master Lei.

"I, Lei Ming, have great use for this Dragon Snake Fruit, and I hope everyone can give me this favor."

Young Master Lei’s voice, though calm, carried a latent threat that was unmistakable.

Anyone bidding now would be disrespecting Young Master Lei.

"Young Master Lei really has come personally."

"It seems the rumors are true; Young Master Lei is indeed about to break through and is here to purchase Dragon Snake Fruit in large quantities."

"In this You Mountain City, no one dares to compete with Young Master Lei."

Upon hearing Young Master Lei state his name, several Martial Artists who were initially eager to compete showed expressions of reluctant acceptance.

They all gave up on bidding.

Competing for a Dragon Snake Fruit and offending Young Master Lei was not a wise choice.

For a moment, the auction hall was silent as a grave.

"I said no one would dare to contend with Young Master Lei. Steward, you’re overly cautious."

In the number two box, Lei Shi looked at the silent crowd outside and flattered Young Master Lei.

"It seems both the Dragon Snake Fruit and the Emperor’s Demon God Blood will be acquired by Young Master Lei today."

"Those fools wouldn’t dare compete with this Young Master."

Young Master Lei showed a few smug looks.

At that moment, an incongruous voice suddenly sounded.

"A mere five million top-grade Spirit Stones to buy this Dragon Snake Fruit? Ten million."

This voice sounded off casually.

The smile on Young Master Lei’s face instantly froze.

In the auction hall.

Everyone thought that after Young Master Lei revealed his identity, no one would dare to oppose him.

Yet unexpectedly, another voice emerged, coming from the third box.

"Damn it, someone dares to fight me!"

Young Master Lei’s face turned instantly furious, about to lose his temper, but the old man beside him stopped him.

"Young Master, please put the overall situation first. Now is not the time to clash with the Ancient Snake Chamber of Commerce. Don’t forget the Master’s orders."

Upon hearing the old man’s words, Young Master Lei’s anger gradually subsided a bit.

"Fine, if it’s a competition of wealth, it’s a competition of wealth. Just spending more wealth is all. Let’s see who’s willing to contend with me! Fifteen million!"
