Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 2396 - 2375: Meeting Tongtong Again at the Auction

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month has passed. During this time, Lin Feng had not been busy with cultivation but instead completed all matters concerning the Elixir Pharmacy Shop, including renovating it according to his style and setting up a new formation.

The original wooden shelves in the shop were all replaced by special metal shelves, with ornate patterns crafted onto them, appearing grand yet elegant, complemented by beautiful colors that made it pleasing to the eyes.

The walls inside the shop were repainted, adorned with grandiose landscape paintings that made one feel as if they were amidst serene surroundings. Remarkably, even the ceiling was elevated and painted with a bright sky and sun, with sunlight refracting inside, making the entire shop exceptionally bright!

The windows underwent changes as well, completely different from those in other shops, made of some unknown special material that provided excellent lighting inside the shop, eliminating the previous sense of oppression.

"Wow, Boss, this is just too beautiful!" exclaimed Tao Tao, astonished by the newly renovated elixir shop. The decor inside was indescribably good, radiating beauty and grandeur far surpassing the previous elixir shop!

"Boss, what made you think of this? This kind of shop renovation has never been seen before!" Tangyuan added at this moment, his small eyes scanning around, nearly overwhelmed. He could confidently say that no such renovation existed within the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, suspecting that Lin Feng might have seen this style in the Lower Realm. Regardless, it’s truly indescribably beautiful.

"I actually wanted to design it even better, but this is the best I can do for now." Lin Feng smiled and nodded upon hearing Tao Tao and Tangyuan’s comments. Initially, his design was prettier, but the materials from Earth were not available in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm. What’s present now was made possible through much effort; he spent an entire day using the Eternal Divine Flame to fuse the glass on the windows.

"Proprietor, your design is indescribable. Entering here, I almost feel this isn’t an elixir shop!"

"Indeed, the proprietor’s design far surpasses other shops. If it were me visiting, I definitely wouldn’t go anywhere else!"

...

Upon seeing the tremendous change inside, the shop assistants including San’er expressed sincere admiration. No one ever imagined an elixir shop could be renovated like this, completely transforming into another style. The comfort felt after entering is unmatched by any other elixir shop, leaving everyone thrilled to have such a proprietor.

"Brother Lin, isn’t there a name for this place yet? Have you thought of one?" Tao Tao inquired after surveying the shop.

"It’s been decided long ago, but it hasn’t been hung out yet," Lin Feng replied indifferently.

"Why, Boss, with everything ready, you’re not opening?" Tangyuan interjected, his small eyes on Lin Feng, puzzled about his plans.

"It’s not the right time yet." Lin Feng smiled lightly, leaving Tangyuan and Tao Tao perplexed as to why everything was prepared but not launched, with even San’er and the other assistants equally baffled by Lin Feng’s decision.

After touring with Tao Tao and Tangyuan, Lin Feng arranged for them to stay in the shop, allowing himself spare time to continue studying the books Elder Chu had given him...

Five days later, Elder Chu informed Lin Feng via a communication talisman about the upcoming auction; Lin Feng promptly took Tao Tao and Tangyuan to the auction house.

Upon arrival at the auction house, they immediately saw the sea of people, a scene Lin Feng had anticipated. After all, this auction was a major event for which the auction house had long prepared. Bringing Tao Tao and Tangyuan along, Elder Chu personally arranged a private room for Lin Feng and Tao Tao, although the location wasn’t perfect, it was a highly favorable treatment.

Shortly thereafter, the auction entry completed, and the auction began.

To Lin Feng’s surprise, the auction was hosted by Tongtong from Ning City Auction House; a brief contemplation revealed the crucial point; if he guessed correctly, Elder Chu had likely brought Tongtong to Xucheng.

From the start of the auction, Tongtong inspired the entire venue’s atmosphere.

"Miss Tongtong, after waiting three months, I’m finally seeing her!"

"Brother, Miss Tongtong is so beautiful!"

"Indeed, I regret not coming last time!"

...

No man present remained indifferent towards Tongtong, regardless of age. If not for concerns about the Myriad Gods Tower’s background, they likely would’ve attempted to seize her already. Meanwhile, the expressions of all the women present were grim, with their own men captivated, they certainly couldn’t be cheerful.

"That Tongtong is so pretty!" Tao Tao remarked, feeling somewhat displeased whilst observing Tongtong, but seeing Lin Feng’s composed demeanor, her heart settled somewhat.

"This is Elder Chu’s secret weapon; with Tongtong hosting, you just wait and see, the final auction prices will surely soar!" Tangyuan murmured on Lin Feng’s shoulder, not forgetting to add, "She’s a siren, just alluring people!"

Seeing Tao Tao and Tangyuan’s reactions, Lin Feng silently smiled, subsequently closing his eyes for a rest.

"The first auction item, Purple Gold Panlong Spear. The spear shaft is forged from Purple Gold Cloud Iron, inscribed with fire-element formations. If used by a fire-element cultivator, this spear naturally emits flames, and if fire-element techniques are employed, it possesses a certain degree of enhancement. One could say, it’s the ideal weapon for fire-element cultivators. Starting price, two hundred Yuan Stones, those interested, quickly bid!"

Tongtong described with a tender voice, immediately inciting fierce bidding among the audience!

"Two hundred twenty Yuan Stones!"

"Nonsense, two hundred forty Yuan Stones!"

"Miss Tongtong spoke, three hundred Yuan Stones!"

...

Following intense bidding, this fairly ordinary dharma treasure eventually sold for four hundred Yuan Stones, far exceeding its actual value, with Lin Feng remaining silent throughout.

As items continued to be auctioned, Lin Feng expressed no interest, hence he did not bid, until encountering a particularly special auction item, which prompted him to open his eyes.

This auction item was unique; no one knew its name, and even the appraisers from the auction house couldn’t identify it. The item resembled a piece of wood, exuding a distinct aroma; its texture was metallic yet it weighed less.

"Here we have an unnamed auction item of peculiar nature, as everyone can see, the auction house’s appraisers couldn’t determine its identity. The consignor found it along a cliff, with a starting price of one thousand Yuan Stones for those interested."

As Tongtong introduced the item, she hadn’t anticipated someone bidding immediately after she finished speaking.

"Two thousand Yuan Stones!" Lin Feng first offered a price, recognizing the item as thunderstruck wood, seemingly not just ordinary thunderstruck wood—an excellent material for artifact refining, aiding in crafting top-grade materials.

"Two thousand five hundred Yuan Stones." Another youngster raised the bid beside him, seemingly very interested in the thunderstruck wood.

"Five thousand Yuan Stones!" Lin Feng bid once more from the private room, instantly doubling the amount.

"Brother Lin, how can you bid like that!" Tao Tao mused, confused by Lin Feng’s bidding style. Though he aimed to acquire the item, such a bid seemed evidently disadvantageous!

"No worries, Tao Tao, rest assured, no one lets the boss suffer losses, since he bid this way, there must be a reason." Tangyuan chuckled from the side, munching unknown types of nuts, seemingly truly transformed into a squirrel.

"Don’t worry, I’m aware." Lin Feng assured Tao Tao with a smile, then redirected his gaze below.

The bidder seemingly hadn’t anticipated someone bidding in such a manner from a private room, offering a doubled price; after contemplating, he realized his aim was simply for jewelry creation and deemed it unwise to offend other powerhouses, hence he refrained from further bidding.

Ultimately, Lin Feng acquired the thunderstruck wood at the price of five thousand Yuan Stones, leaving Tao Tao speechless, unable to discern Lin Feng’s intentions for such a piece of wood.

The auction proceeded, with subsequent items failing to catch Lin Feng’s eye, thus he never bid. However, others did not maintain composure; nearly every auction item fetched prices far above their actual value. When Lin Feng’s Flawless Quality Elixirs appeared, the entire auction exploded, for these weren’t ordinary elixirs but flawless quality ones, utterly unimaginable!

Soon, Lin Feng’s elixirs were auctioned in batches, culminating in an overall price of three to four million Yuan Stones. If not for the limited quantities, such Flawless Quality Elixirs would fetch limitless Yuan Stones whenever available, given their rarity. The cultivators of Xucheng were astounded by the auction house securing such quantities of Flawless Quality Elixirs...
