In Autumn Glory City,
At the trade fair,
"50,000 Lower-Grade Spiritual Stones!"
Jiang Chen's voice resonated throughout the entire venue.
At this moment, the item being auctioned was a spiritual fruit.
However,
When Jiang Chen searched for 'Fireheart Pinecone Fruit' on the System Mall, a different type of spiritual fruit appeared instead.
The auctioneer introduced the item at the beginning of the auction, declaring that it was a Top-Grade Fireheart Pinecone Fruit, superior to any other Fireheart Pinecone Fruit they had encountered before.
Evidently,
It turned out that the appraisers from the White Mountain Chamber of Commerce had made an error!
The item resembling a Fireheart Pinecone Fruit was actually a more advanced type of spiritual fruit!
The key is that this spiritual fruit remained fire-attributed!
Jiang Chen recognized at a glance that this was likely the treasure Lin Feng was originally supposed to acquire.
Thus,
Without hesitation, he decided to join the bidding.
"The current highest bid is 50,000 Lower-Grade Spiritual Stones!"
"50,000 once, 50,000 twice, 50,000 three times! Sold!"
With the auctioneer's announcement, Jiang Chen successfully secured this treasure, which was worth far more than everyone had anticipated.
What was even more impressive,
Jiang Chen didn't even have to pay for it himself!
Today, his expenses at the trade fair were covered by President Du Bailei.
"Hahaha!"
"Young friend Jiang Chen has a keen eye. This Fireheart Pinecone Fruit is of the highest quality I have ever seen!"
Du Bailei praised Jiang Chen with a smile after witnessing him successfully acquire the Fireheart Pinecone Fruit.
"Yes."
"Fireheart Pinecone Fruits of this caliber are indeed rare. I must also thank President Du for gifting it to me."
Jiang Chen nodded and smiled.
"What are you talking about?"
"Young friend Jiang Chen has done me a great favor. A mere Fireheart Pinecone Fruit is nothing in comparison."
Du Bailei said generously, "From now on, if there are any treasures that catch your eye, don't hesitate to bid for them!"
"Hahaha, sure thing, sure thing!"
Jiang Chen laughed and nodded repeatedly.
Of course,
He wouldn't actually do that.
If he did, it would be akin to nullifying the favor owed to him.
As a villain determined to alter his destiny,
Jiang Chen believed that exercising a bit more care and caution in his actions would certainly cause him no harm.
The White Mountain Chamber of Commerce and Du Bailei remained valuable to him,
And it was worth investing some effort to maintain a friendlier relationship with them.
Next,
The auction proceeded.
Regrettably, Jiang Chen did not have another opportunity to secure a bargain.
'Hmm.'
'Just this counterfeit Fireheart Pinecone Fruit caused Lin Feng to lose 300 points of Heavenly Fate Value?'
'It seems that the value of this item is even greater than I initially thought!'
Jiang Chen mused to himself, a subtle smile gracing the corner of his lips.
Just then,
The transmission jade token quivered slightly.
Jiang Chen probed with his divine sense and read the message:
"Eldest Young Master, I apologize, I lost track of Lin Feng!
He left the city and ventured into the forest.
I maintained my distance, fearing he would detect me.
On the way, he encountered a poisonous miasma that obstructed my divine sense exploration, and in the blink of an eye, he had vanished!"
After reading the message,
"Lost track of him!?"
Jiang Chen's heart sank.
After Lin Feng departed, Jiang Chen naturally made sure not to neglect keeping track of him, ensuring that Lin Feng would not entirely vanish from his sight.
As a result,
Jiang Chen dispatched a Spiritual Awakening cultivator from his own Jiang Clan to monitor Lin Feng.
And now,
He had lost track of him!
"The protagonist status is truly exceptional!"
"It seems that Lin Feng is likely to stumble upon some opportunities in the forest outside the city!"
Jiang Chen did not fault the cultivator responsible for surveillance, as he understood that Lin Feng was no easy target to track.
To let Lin Feng seize an opportunity,
This was the last thing Jiang Chen wanted to witness.
However,
Lin Feng ventured into the forest outside the city alone.
If he were to leave at this moment and directly intervene to ruin Lin Feng's opportunity, yet he couldn't outright kill him, Lin Feng would eventually divulge this matter if he remained alive, alerting everyone.
By that time, wouldn't one's true intentions be laid bare for all to see?
The reputation he had previously established would not only collapse entirely but also worsen.
The plan to win over Ning Xian would have been virtually thwarted!
And then, to deal with Lin Feng, he would have to rely solely on brute force!
"I'm feeling a bit stuffy, I'm going out for some fresh air."
Jiang Chen patted his chest, offered a slight smile to Ning Xian, and then stood up to leave.
Although Ning Xian was somewhat curious, she didn't inquire further.
Upon arriving outside the trading venue,
Jiang Chen summoned a trustworthy cultivator from the Jiang family, handed him a piece of Aura Finder Smoke, and provided some instructions before returning to the VIP room.
The cultivator who received the Aura Finder Smoke promptly dashed out of the city!
At the same time,
In a dense jungle, quite a distance from Autumn Glory City,
"Snap!!"
"Thud!!"
Sounds of trees snapping and falling reverberated incessantly.
Numerous innocent trees became the targets of Lin Feng's venting and were directly broken by his outburst.
It wasn't just the large trees.
Beside him on the ground, there were countless pieces of rubble, all from the stones that had been shattered by Lin Feng's outburst!
Could you tell whether he was furious or not?
"Phew!"
"This is just too infuriating!"
"At this point, I shouldn't be merely at the Middle-stage Soul Refining Realm. After all, I possess the Burning World Red Lotus!!"
...
After toppling a wide expanse of trees and pulverizing a heap of rocks, Lin Feng took a long, deep breath.
A slightly cold breath surged into his lungs, but it failed to extinguish his anger.
So,
"Burning World Flame!"
Lin Feng's eyes turned slightly red as he directly unleashed the innate skill brought by the Burning World Red Lotus!
In an instant!
A vast amount of crimson flames rippled out like waves, immediately setting the lush forest around them ablaze!
The flames rapidly spread throughout the forest, consuming everything in their path.
A tree, saturated with moisture, proved no different from dry kindling.
In the blink of an eye,
Vast stretches of the forest were set ablaze.
"Chirp chirp!"
"..."
Terrified birds and beasts scampered in all directions.
Numerous smaller creatures failed to flee in time and perished within the ferocious blaze.
Observing this,
Lin Feng furrowed his brows slightly and activated his Yuan Power, causing a substantial amount of flames to return to his physical body, as if being poured into a container.
The remaining flames, devoid of Yuan Power's support, gradually died out.
Just then...
"Roar!!"
An incredibly enraged voice emerged from underground.
"What!?"
Lin Feng's expression shifted as he sensed a violent tremor beneath his feet.
Amidst the thunderous noise, fissures materialized in the nearby mountain ravine.
A pale gold giant python slithered out of it, its crimson eyes radiating a chilling gleam.
"This is... a Spiritual Awakening Realm demon beast! The Entwined Silk Vajra Python!"
Lin Feng's expression altered, his pupils slightly contracting as he gazed at the enormous python.
All of a sudden.
A potent odor assaulted his senses.
Apart from the foul stench emanating from the Entwined Silk Vajra Python, there was also a powerful medicinal fragrance!
"What's this?"
"At least it's a treasure of the Mysterious Platform Realm!"
"The treasure is deep underground, likely hidden within the lair of the Entwined Silk Vajra Python!"
"I didn't expect to encounter a spiritual plant of the Mysterious Platform Realm here, this is great!"
Sensing the medicinal fragrance, Lin Feng used the power granted by the Burning World Red Lotus to directly identify the grade of the spiritual plant.
At once,
He was overjoyed!
If Jiang Chen were here, he would undoubtedly sigh at how terrifying the protagonist status is. The previous opportunity was destroyed, and now it was immediately replaced with another!
At this moment,
"Hiss!! Roar!"
The Entwined Silk Vajra Python suddenly opened its massive mouth.
The gaping maw, which presented a 180-degree blood-red opening, unexpectedly emitted a deep and majestic roar!
"Hmph!"
"In the Early-stage Spiritual Awakening realm... I haven't had a real battle since acquiring the Burning World Red Lotus. I'll use you as a scapegoat today!"
Lin Feng snorted coldly. The Entwined Silk Vajra Python before him boasted a pale golden hue, signifying that it had recently undergone metamorphosis and had just entered the Early-stage Spiritual Awakening realm.
Even in its wilted state, his Burning World Red Lotus still held a rank equivalent to the Inquiring Journey realm.
The Burning World Flames, originating from the Burning World Red Lotus, were undoubtedly immensely powerful.
Although the Burning World Red Lotus was now teetering on the brink of demise.
Lin Feng's cultivation level was also quite low, rendering him incapable of fully unleashing the power of these flames.
Nevertheless, handling an unwise Entwined Silk Vajra Python at the Early-stage Spiritual Awakening realm should pose no problem!
