CHAPTER 1054: CHAPTER 1055: COMPETING OUT OF SPITE

"This Dragon Serpent Fruit has already reached the highest quality. As long as the Young Master can obtain it, he can immediately break through the Life and Death Realm and achieve the status of Ancestor. By then, who in this desolate realm could possibly compete with the Young Master."

In Box No. 2, a martial artist flatteringly said to Young Master Lei.

"Indeed, I must get this Dragon Serpent Fruit. Once I step into the realm of the Dragon Serpent Fruit, my father can further ascend, and we can leave this remote desolate realm for the imperial capital,"

Young Master Lei’s gaze flickered as he spoke coldly.

Just as he finished speaking, another voice came from outside.

"Twenty million!"

With a casual mention, another price was offered, surpassing Young Master Lei’s price.

"Damn it! Who the hell is this guy? Someone seeking death dares to compete with me!"

Young Master Lei initially thought that when he bid again, Chu Fengmian would by no means dare to continue competing with him.

But unexpectedly, Chu Fengmian completely ignored him and offered another price, directly undercutting him.

"Twenty-five million!"

Young Master Lei, holding back his anger, spoke again.

This time, from Young Master Lei’s voice, everyone could sense the fury in his heart.

Continuing to compete with Young Master Lei was truly provoking him.

"Mr. Chu, perhaps we should back off,"

In Box No. 3, Wang Zhenliu looked at Chu Fengmian, speaking with a bit of trepidation.

He could already feel Young Master Lei’s anger. Continuing to compete seemed to be a losing proposition.

"Back off? No one has ever made me back off,"

Chu Fengmian spoke casually.

"Thirty million!"

With each bid increase, the price rose by five million high-grade spirit stones.

Even for some sects, taking out five million high-grade spirit stones all at once is an enormous number.

Even for Young Master Lei, this was a huge sum. After all, he only spent about tens of millions of high-grade spirit stones for cultivation in a year.

Several rounds of bidding were enough to squander years of his cultivation wealth.

"Seems like you don’t plan on giving me, Lei Ming, any face? I advise you, now is the time to back off, lest you provoke someone you shouldn’t,"

Young Master Lei spoke coldly.

His words were no longer a hint but a threat.

Blatantly threatening the person in Box No. 3.

Though threats weren’t allowed in the auction venue, given Lei Ming’s status, as long as he didn’t go too far,

people from the Ancient Serpent Chamber of Commerce wouldn’t stop him lightly.

"Someone I shouldn’t provoke? How come the famous Young Master Lei can’t even take out this small amount of wealth and resorts to threats? It’s embarrassing. If you’re a pauper, don’t come to the auction. Using your status to scare people with such trifling wealth?"

From Box No. 3, Chu Fengmian’s mocking voice suddenly sounded.

The room was in an uproar.

Upon hearing these words, most martial artists in the audience were shocked.

"Who is this person daring to disregard Young Master Lei?"

"I thought he was fearless out of ignorance, but it turns out he knew Young Master Lei’s identity and still dared to compete with him."

"What audacity, but this person’s wealth is considerable. I’m afraid even Young Master Lei will find it challenging to buy the Dragon Serpent Fruit from him."

"Let’s just watch. Young Master Lei has been flaunting his arrogance for so long. It’s time someone put him in his place!"

One by one, martial artists whispered below, watching the show with a sense of anticipation.

After all, the conflict between Chu Fengmian and Young Master Lei wouldn’t affect them. They could quietly enjoy the spectacle.

"Damn! Damn! This person is here just to oppose me! Investigate! Find out this person’s identity! I want to kill him, tear him to pieces!"

In Box No. 2, Young Master Lei, upon hearing Chu Fengmian’s words, was already in an extreme fury, wishing he could rush out and kill Chu Fengmian immediately.

"Someone’s life must be too comfortable, daring to oppose the young master."

"We must uncover his identity and ensure he dies painfully."

"Let’s find someone from the Ancient Serpent Chamber of Commerce now and ask them exactly who dares to defy the young master."

The martial artists beside Young Master Lei all had murder in their eyes.

"Young Master, please calm down. Investigating this person must wait until after the Ancient Serpent Auction. Otherwise, if conflict arises, the master’s instructions will be difficult to carry out."

The butler spoke calmly on the side.

"Damn it! If it weren’t for father’s instructions, I would definitely kill him right now!"

Young Master Lei’s anger subsided a little. His gaze flickered as he suddenly shouted loudly.

"Forty million! I bid forty million!"

Young Master Lei increased the bid again.

Being publicly humiliated was something Young Master Lei had never experienced.

In his status, wherever he went, he was always respected and revered.

Never had anyone dared to oppose him.

Forty million high-grade spirit stones, just to buy a Dragon Serpent Fruit, was already a gamble, burning money.

Given Young Master Lei’s status, he couldn’t swallow this indignation.

"Fifty million."

Just as Young Master Lei finished his bid, another voice directly interrupted, surpassing his price.

"Very good!"

In Box No. 2, Young Master Lei’s face revealed a sinister smile.

Though he appeared unangered, everyone knew Young Master Lei was truly furious, completely enraged.

"This person is already a dead man. Once the auction ends, follow him. I want him to die without a place for burial!"

"Yes!"

The few martial artists standing next to Young Master Lei left the box to investigate Chu Fengmian’s identity.

With no competition from Young Master Lei, the Dragon Serpent Fruit was won by Chu Fengmian.

Shortly after, it was delivered to Chu Fengmian’s box.

"A top-grade Dragon Serpent Fruit. With this, once I refine the Dragon Snake Holy Pill, my injuries will be fully healed."

Chu Fengmian looked at the Dragon Serpent Fruit, grabbed it, and stored it away, not planning to perform alchemy on the spot.

Refining a Holy Pill wasn’t an easy task for Chu Fengmian. The auction venue was too noisy.

And the auction time for the Empyrean Demon God Essence Blood wasn’t far off.

Better to first secure the Empyrean Demon God Essence Blood, then find a quiet place to refine this Dragon Serpent Fruit into the Dragon Snake Holy Pill.

"Mr. Chu, please be careful. Young Master Lei’s people are already investigating your identity. In this Ancient Serpent Chamber of Commerce, he wouldn’t dare act, but once outside, I’m powerless."

Wang Zhenliu sighed and reminded.
