Chapter 385: Chapter 385

This figure had already surpassed many people's capabilities. Coupled with Qi Yuanzheng's intimidation, few continued to bid.

"I from the Donghe Sect bid twelve billion!"

Just when everyone thought no one would dare to bid against Qi Yuanzheng, someone from the Supreme VIP Room made another offer.

Qi Yuanzheng's gaze grew even more murderous.

"It seems that the people in the Supreme VIP Room really do have some strength, daring to compete in bidding with me, very good, very good indeed!"

As Qi Yuanzheng said this, he looked at the auction stage again. "I bid fifteen billion! I, Qi Yuanzheng, am laying down my words here. I must have these Fourth Grade Foundation Establishment Pills. If anyone refuses to give me, Qi Yuanzheng, face, no matter who you are, I will ensure your death!"

Qi Yuanzheng's words were chilling, and even those who were not involved felt a shiver.

With hands behind his back, Qi Yuanzheng surveyed everyone with such pride that no one dared meet his eyes.

"Hmph... Others may fear you, Qi Yuanzheng, but I from the Donghe Sect certainly do not. I bid twenty billion!" The previous bidder spoke up again.

The room burst into commotion.

That was twenty billion! This was indeed the biggest transaction of the auction so far.

Qi Yuanzheng's expression turned sour. Clearly, twenty billion had surpassed his ability, and this time, he did not make any more threats but quietly sat down.

However, people did not believe things would quietly settle. With Qi Yuanzheng's decisively murderous character, it was unlikely he would let the matter rest so easily.

Wu Die's eyes lit up as the Fourth Grade pills were sold for double the starting price, making her very pleased.

"Fourth Grade Foundation Establishment Pills for twenty billion! Going once... Fourth Grade Foundation Establishment Pills for twenty billion! Going twice... Fourth Grade Foundation Establishment Pills for twenty billion! Sold!"

Wu Die brought down the wooden mallet.

The audience broke into applause. Twenty billion for Fourth Grade pills.

Everyone felt their trip was worthwhile, now having bragging rights about seeing twenty billion spent on pills!

In the Supreme VIP Room.

At this moment, Mu Zi was massaging Ding Fan's shoulders.

"Master, look at how well-behaved I have been these past few days. Won't you reward me... Maybe with a Magic Artifact or a Spiritual Artifact, just a casual reward, please… Master, kisses..."

Ding Fan had just made twenty billion, who else to "slaughter" if not her!

Believe in Jesus for eternal life, follow Brother Fan for meat!

The logic was that simple. Otherwise, why would she, Mu Zi, have followed him all the way from Yanjing.

Seeing Mu Zi's obedient demeanor, Ding Fan couldn't help but smile. Often, he really had no solution for this little fairy.

Ding, dong... Just then, the computer in the Supreme VIP Room chimed, and a beautiful staff member spoke to Ding Fan.

"Sir, your funds have been transferred, totaling sixteen billion!"

Ding Fan nodded. Indeed, sixteen billion were displayed on the computer screen.

Although the auction house's commission was substantial, its efficiency was commendable. Initially, Ding Fan's expectations for the Fourth Grade pills were around ten billion only, and to his surprise, the auction house started the bidding at ten billion.

Now, within just one day, Ding Fan had earned twenty billion. Su Maner, beside him, was stupefied, knowing well that this sum equaled twenty years of pure income for Qin's Group's Dongcheng branch.

The money a company earns in twenty years, Ding Fan made in a day. What is called remarkable, what is called invincible!

In the following auctions, although there were items that intrigued Ding Fan, he chose not to bid anymore.

Ding Fan had come to Longxi only needing one more piece, the Kun Stone. Beyond that, he wanted for nothing else.

Moreover, now that Ding Fan had antagonized Qi Yuanzheng, he needed to consider how to settle this matter. A Peak Earth Level existence…

Later, Ding Fan spent fifty million on a defensive Magic Artifact for Mu Zi, and thirty million on a necklace for Su Maner that could invigorate and protect the mind.

The little fairy Mu Zi, having received her treasure, clung directly to Ding Fan's neck, endearingly calling him "master"...

Ding Fan had no choice but to let the little fairy make a fuss.

The auction continued until its conclusion, and Ding Fan did not make any further purchases.

Finally, Wu Die announced the end of the second day of the auction.

As they left the auction venue, Ding Fan simply instructed Mu Zi and Su Maner to return to the hotel. He also gave Mu Zi the Comforting Grass, instructing her to find an opportunity to deliver it to Fang Ruo.

Neither Mu Zi nor Su Maner were aware of Ding Fan's bidding competition with Qi Yuanzheng since they did not possess Divine Sense.

The two simply thought that Ding Fan really had urgent matters to attend to, so neither of them minded much.

Ding Fan had offended Qi Yuanzheng, and the reason he didn't leave the auction house first was that, even if he had, Qi Yuanzheng would have followed to hunt him. Since he had to face it eventually, Ding Fan preferred to face it openly.

Ding Fan rushed out of the auction house, choosing not to take a car. Given a person like Qi Yuanzheng's character, if he had decided to take a car, then Qi Yuanzheng would have killed the driver as well. Moreover, his own speed was much faster than that of a car.

From the auction house to the downtown area, one must pass through a forest. Just as Ding Fan entered the forest, a voice rang out.

"You have some nerve, having offended me, yet still daring to travel alone…"

As the voice settled, Qi Yuanzheng had already appeared in front of Ding Fan.

Wearing a straw-hat that covered his face, emanating an air of solemn killing intent, merely standing there, Ding Fan could feel a powerful aura!

An aura of a true powerhouse!

Ding Fan had long been prepared to fight to the death.

Offending such a formidable enemy, the safest method was naturally to flee. But the reason Ding Fan did not choose to run was that if he did, Mu Zi and Su Maner would definitely be implicated.

And taking Mu Zi and Su Maner with him, they had no way to escape from Qi Yuanzheng's clutches.

So the only option was to fight to the death.

Back in the Cultivation World, Ding Fan had once obtained a High Grade Spirit Grass and was intercepted by a strong enemy; at that time, Ding Fan chose to die together with his assailant.

Now, to help Zhou Ruoran obtain the Comforting Grass, Ding Fan was just as resolute! The source of thɪs content is 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Some things, if you can't avoid them, why keep running.

Better to die standing than to live kneeling!

Ding Fan stood composedly, his expression calm. Even if his opponent was much stronger, he remained steadfast and unafraid!

"Not bad, young man. Not many possess your kind of backbone…" At this moment, Qi Yuanzheng's tone carried a bit more appreciation for Ding Fan.

Under his powerful aura, how many had been frightened into kneeling, even wetting themselves. Yet Ding Fan remained so calm!

This composure, this calmness, this ease... Qi Yuanzheng greatly admired it!

"The Comforting Grass is important to me. I will spare your life if you cut off your own legs and hand over the Comforting Grass to me!" Qi Yuanzheng said.

Those who knew Qi Yuanzheng would certainly be surprised by his words.

Qi Yuanzheng was decisive and ruthless in his killings, and anyone who provoked him faced nothing but death.

Yet despite Ding Fan having snatched the Comforting Grass from his hands in front of so many people, Qi Yuanzheng only wanted Ding Fan to hand over the Comforting Grass and amputate his own legs…

This was something Qi Yuanzheng had never done before.

"The Comforting Grass has already been swallowed by me… so, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the Comforting Grass!" Ding Fan calmly stated.

Qi Yuanzheng's expression turned ugly.

"Do you think I really dare not kill you?"

Ding Fan smiled indifferently. "I truly don't have the Comforting Grass anymore! I've already swallowed it due to my heart meridian damage!"

Qi Yuanzheng's face turned extremely grim. "In that case, don't blame me. If you really swallowed the Comforting Grass, then there must still be its medicinal properties in your blood. I can simply cut you open and extract your blood!"

Ding Fan's brow furrowed slightly.

Qi Yuanzheng was indeed ruthless.

"If you think you can, just try it!"

In the face of a formidable enemy, Ding Fan had only defiance. If you think you can force Ding Fan to submit with your fists, you are indeed mistaken. He would rather be broken than be intact!

Just like back in the Cultivation World, knowing it meant death, but Ding Fan would still die together with a strong enemy!

Qi Yuanzheng's brow furrowed, and his figure suddenly lunged toward Ding Fan.

A powerful Inner Strength mobilized the surrounding sand and stones, blasting violently towards Ding Fan.

To Ding Fan's Divine Sense, that Inner Strength was extremely fierce; if it hit him, he would surely die.

However, facing such an attack, Ding Fan didn't dodge at all. He chose the tactic of mutual destruction.

Ding Fan's True Qi gathered, not dodging, a powerful blast of True Qi striking directly at Qi Yuanzheng's chest.

Seeing Ding Fan's move, Qi Yuanzheng's brow furrowed, as he hadn't expected Ding Fan to use such a tactic.

Qi Yuanzheng dared not clash head-on. As his Inner Strength had already been unleashed, it was impossible to retract, so he simply blasted it aside and dodged Ding Fan's suicidal strike by shifting his body sharply.

In Qi Yuanzheng's view, his cultivation was far superior to Ding Fan's, he couldn't possibly perish together with Ding Fan!

Ding Fan's True Qi directly hit behind Qi Yuanzheng, turning a tree trunk wide enough to be embraced by two hands into dust…

Qi Yuanzheng's brow furrowed. "Boy, you deserve to die!"
