"Hiss!" Indeed, as the threads of Fire Marrow entered Hu Heng''s body, Hu Heng gritted his teeth in pain.

    The endless pain made him feel like he was about to die.

    Indeed, this pain was something no ordinary person could withstand.

    Not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators rarely could endure it.

    Moreover, as the Fire Marrow gradually prated deeper, the pain grew more intense, a pain that pierced to the bone.

    "Ah! I just don''t believe it." After a roar, Hu Heng relied on his willpower to forcibly try to absorb the Fire Marrow.

    But, he overestimated his strength.

    The previous Fire Marrow had yet to be digested, and now doing this was undoubtedly courting death.

    "Quick! Faster!" Sensing his predicament, Hu Heng hurriedly sped up the refining of the Fire Marrow.

    Yet, the Fire Marrow inside him continued to wreak havoc.

    "Ah! No! Am I going to die like this?" Feeling the situation worsening, Hu Heng panicked.

    "No... I refuse to ept this." But, Hu Heng genuinely refused to ept it.

    At this moment, Ye Feng''s image appeared in Hu Heng''s mind, along with those of his enemies.

    Thinking of this, Hu Heng''s heart filled with hatred, and he remembered his unresolved revenge.

    "No... I still need to get revenge. I can''t give up." In an instant, Hu Heng turned his boundless anger into infinite motivation.

    In the blink of an eye, Hu Heng''s inner universe erupted.

    Although painful, although this process was tormenting, whenever Hu Heng thought of Ye Feng, he gritted his teeth and persisted, constantly refining the Fire Marrow.

    As the Fire Marrow continued to be refined, Hu Heng found that the True Qi inside him seemed to be more refined, stronger.

    For a moment, Hu Heng''s strength grew even stronger.

    "Haha!" Feeling this, Hu Hengughed with satisfaction, refining the endlessly surging Fire Marrow until it waspletely absorbed.

    Previously, although the process was somewhat torturous and painful, it became progressively easier and more practiced towards the end.

    Hu Heng''s strength grew increasingly powerful.

    A periodter, Hu Heng suddenly soared from the water, quickly leaping onto the shore.

    "Is this it, sess?" Seeing this scene, the previously anxious old man on the shore suddenly smiled.

    At this moment, Hu Heng''s face bore a cold expression as he clenched his fists, feeling the power within himself.

    "Very good! I''ve reached the Peak of Martial Arts, and although the True Qi is the same level, its power is twice as strong as before." After feeling the boundless power within him, Hu Heng was very satisfied.

    Indeed, not only had his realm improved, but the intensity of Hu Heng''s True Qi had also increased, giving him wings like a tiger.

    "Ye, are you ready to bear my wrath? I want you to regret evering into this world." At the same time, Hu Heng nced in Jiangcheng''s direction and sneered coldly.

    In Hu Heng''s eyes, the pain he endured was all thanks to Ye Feng, and he would repay it a hundredfold, making Ye Feng regret ever provoking him.

    Feeling the power inside him, he sensed that day wasn''t far away...

    ...

    Meanwhile, night had fallen, and Ye Feng had already entered the auction venue.

    In this ancient vige, they specifically renovated a rtively luxurious auction hall, which wasn''t easy.

    Only a few, just thirty or forty people, were qualified to attend the auction, and the weakest among them were at least at the Peak of Martial Arts.

    And Ye Feng, apanied by Second Master Feng, sat at the best position.

    As for the Feng Family members, they sat further back, as their level wasn''t high enough to sit with Ye Feng.

    "Who is this person? Even Second Master Feng is personally apanying him?" Some recent arrivals asked with confusion, seeing Ye Feng seated in the best position with Second Master Feng personally apanying him.

    "Shh! Keep your voice down; this is someone you can''t afford to offend."

    "Are they that significant?"

    "Drop that ''are''! They really are significant. Do you know the Dragon God? In the Divine Dragon Guard, he ranks only below the Dragon God."

    "Whoa! That''s incredible! The Four Divine Guardians and Five Guardian Gods all listen to him? Is he really a Divine Level powerhouse at such a young age?"

    "So you know what to do now, right? Don''t discuss carelessly, or you might get into trouble."

    Initially, these neers had some disdain, but after hearing the warnings from others, they were shocked and no longer dared to discuss Ye Feng.

    Though they were considered skilled domestically, in front of the Divine Dragon Guard, they were nothing?

    The bigwigs of the Divine Dragon Guard were all at the Divine Level, at worst, half-step Divine Level, right?

    Yet, even such powerhouses would take orders from Ye Feng, so how could they possibly afford to offend such a big shot?

    Indeed, just a word from Ye Feng, and the Guardian Gods of the Divine Dragon Guard would act, would they have any good oue?

    Moreover, even without using the Guardian Gods of the Divine Dragon Guard, with his strength alone, Ye Feng could easily annihte them.

    It''s known that Ye Feng''s strength is at the Martial Saint Level, even capable of contending with genuine Martial Saints.

    After hisst life-and-death battle, Ye Feng felt his strength had improved somewhat, and with his cultivation during this period, he was confident he could defeat the two Quasi-Martial Saints he faced before with his Seven-Star Flying Sword.

    Even if they had the support of an array, Ye Feng wouldn''t hesitate to obliterate them.

    Though he heard the voices of the crowd discussing, Ye Feng didn''t pay attention but instead waited for the auction to begin.

    Finally, an old man stepped onto the stage, announcing the start of the auction.

    Following an opening speech, the first auction item was brought up.

    "The first auction item is ten pieces of Upper Grade Celestial Essence Stone, starting at one hundred million, with each bid increment not less than ten million,mence the auction!" After opening the box, the old man introduced.

    Upper Grade Celestial Essence Stones, indeed good items, and the starting price wasn''t too high.

    "One hundred ten million!"

    "One hundred twenty million!"

    "One hundred thirty million!"

    "One hundred fifty million!"

    ...

    Thus, as the auction began, many people frantically bid, causing the price to rapidly soar.

    It seemed these people had prepared ample funds for this auction; otherwise, where would they get the confidence to bid like this?

    "Three hundred million!"

    In no time, the price skyrocketed to three hundred million.

    After reaching three hundred million, the bidding started to slow down.

    One Upper Grade Celestial Essence Stone equaled ten Middle Grade Celestial Essence Stones, or one hundred Lower Grade Celestial Essence Stones.

    Ten Upper Grade Celestial Essence Stones equaled one thousand Lower Grade Celestial Essence Stones, calcting that one Lower Grade Celestial Essence Stone''s current price is three hundred thousand, that was still rtively cheap.

    Of course, Ye Feng hadn''t encountered them before, so he thought they were cheap.

    In fact, under normal circumstances, a Lower Grade Celestial Essence Stone''s price was around two hundred thousand.

    However, because these were Upper Grade Celestial Essence Stones, the price was higher, and this price was already reasonable.

    At this moment, Ye Feng spoke up...
