Chapter 560: Chapter 560

Exchanging Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade Pills for a Golden Dragonfly had everyone present clicking their tongues. What defines a tycoon, what is jaw-dropping...

At that moment, an attendant brought the Golden Dragonfly to Ding Fan, who casually handed it to Mu Zi by his side. As everyone looked on in amazement, they witnessed a treasure being traded for Fourth and Fifth Grade Spirit Pills.

"What's the matter? Don't like it? If you don't, I'll just take it back," Ding Fan said to Mu Zi at his side.

"How could I not like it!" Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Mu Zi hurriedly secured the Golden Dragonfly, as if fearing Ding Fan might change his mind.

Seeing Mu Zi's reaction, Ding Fan couldn't help but smile warmly. Updates are released by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⁂𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⁂𝕟𝕖𝕥

"Luo Shui, rest assured, if that treasure caught your eye, no matter what, I'd get it for you," Zhang Kaizhi said to the woman beside him.

The woman by his side gave Zhang Kaizhi a sideways glance. "That treasure has already been sold, what can you do about it?"

Zhang Kaizhi's mouth curved slightly. "I've said, for you I'd ascend a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of flames. A treasure you're fond of, I'll surely obtain for you."

Luo Shui cast an impatient glance towards the auction stage. "Let's talk about it when you get it."

Zhang Kaizhi nodded, then directed his gaze towards Ding Fan's direction. He casually called an attendant over.

"I have a note here; please deliver it to that friend over there," Zhang Kaizhi pulled out paper and pen from his Space Ring, briskly wrote something, and handed it to the attendant.

The attendant nodded, and using a tray, delivered the note to Ding Fan's side.

While Zhang Kaizhi was watching, Ding Fan had been keeping an eye on him. Having nearly lost his life due to Zhang Kaizhi's scheming in Zhangjiajie, how could Ding Fan possibly let him off easily?

"Sir, this note is from the gentleman over there for you," the attendant said as he presented the note written by Zhang Kaizhi to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan didn't immediately pick up the note; instead, he swept it with his Divine Sense. He figured there must be more to it, given someone like Zhang Kaizhi sent him the note.

After a thorough check, Ding Fan indeed discovered something amiss—there was Luminous Body Powder on the note, a substance that can be used to mark one's Divine Sense.

Zhang Kaizhi used this Luminous Body Powder to leave a Divine Sense mark on him, with a very simple purpose: to acquire the Golden Dragonfly intended for the Spiritual Body woman named Luo Shui.

Ding Fan picked up the note without concern.

Even if Zhang Kaizhi didn't come for him, Ding Fan was planning to confront Zhang Kaizhi. Now that Zhang Kaizhi had left a Divine Sense mark, it saved Ding Fan a lot of trouble.

Ding Fan, pretending to be unaware, opened the note. It read that Zhang Kaizhi hoped Ding Fan would trade the Golden Dragonfly to him.

Ding Fan immediately took up a pen and swiftly wrote just three words, "Impossible!" Then he handed the note back to the attendant by his side.

The attendant turned around, holding the note from Ding Fan, and returned to Zhang Kaizhi.

Zhang Kaizhi took the note, and upon seeing the three words Ding Fan had written, impossibility dawned on him.

Zhang Kaizhi's mouth lifted slightly—he had never truly believed that Ding Fan would give up the Golden Dragonfly to him. As long as Ding Fan touched that note, Zhang Kaizhi considered himself to have already won half the battle.

Ding Fan's Inner Strength fluctuated at the Fifth Grade Earth Level, but Zhang Kaizhi was confident that, after leaving the auction and removing his disguise to find Ding Fan, he could forcibly take the Golden Dragonfly from him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the treasure now up for sale is called the Aurora Skybead!"

At this, the Elder host looked towards the audience and spoke.

Once the words of the Elder host settled, the audience hushed, all eyes turned towards him.

Ding Fan also set his gaze on the Elder.

The Aurora Skybead was a treasure from beneath the barrier of Zhangjiajie. Previously, just because the blue bead had shone, the entire barrier of Zhangjiajie turned into a winter wonderland.

This alone showcased the incredible power of the Aurora Skybead.

However, the Aurora Skybead was now in Ding Fan's hands, and the warmth and sunshine of the entire Small World were the work of the Aurora Skybead.

If the Aurora Skybead was already with him, what then was this Skybead at the auction all about?

Ding Fan looked up at Zhang Kaizhi not far away.

Back then, Zhang Kaizhi entered the barrier of Zhangjiajie precisely for the Aurora Skybead. Now seeing this treasure, Ding Fan was curious to observe his reaction.

Sure enough, Zhang Kaizhi's eyes were firmly fixed on the Elder on the stage, his expression extremely tense.

Then, an attendant brought up a bead the size of a fist to the front. The Elder gently picked up the Skybead and displayed it to the audience.

"This Aurora Skybead, a wonder between heaven and earth, can change day to night, and alter cold to heat... Is there anyone who needs this treasure..."

"How will this item be traded?" someone in the crowd called out.

"Old rules, trade items for items!" the Elder on the stage proclaimed loudly.

After hearing the Elder's words, few in the audience were in a hurry to make their move, since not many recognized the treasure.

Few dared to act rashly towards a treasure whose use they did not know.

As everyone hesitated, Zhang Kaizhi from the side spoke up.

"Although the use of this treasure is unknown, it certainly looks beautiful and would make a fine betrothal gift for a beloved lady. I want this treasure. I ask my fellow cultivators to please grant me this favor..." Zhang Kaizhi stood up, bowed to the crowd, and said.

After Zhang Kaizhi finished speaking, naturally, all eyes turned to Luo Shui by his side.

"I never expected him to be such a romantic..."

"Spending a fortune for a fair lady's smile, this can be counted as a fine tale..." the crowd below murmured in discussion.

At this moment, Luo Shui's cheeks beside Zhang Kaizhi were flushed, yet she still pretended to be calm.

Ding Fan couldn't help but admire Zhang Kaizhi at this time. With such a statement, not only did he make everyone feel the Aurora Skybead was of little value, but he also expressed his love for Luo Shui through this gesture, eventually winning her virginity...

Quite the strategist, this Zhang Kaizhi...

"I will offer a third-grade Artifact of Attack," Zhang Kaizhi said to the Elder hosting the auction on the stage at this moment.

Artifacts of Attack are considerably valuable, and as soon as Zhang Kaizhi announced his bid, the audience couldn't help but let out exclamations of surprise. They didn't even know what the bead was for, yet he directly offered a third-grade Artifact of Attack...

"I bid for this item solely to obtain an item of affection; I ask my fellow cultivators not to compete with me for it..."

While Zhang Kaizhi was still bowing to the people around him, a cool voice suddenly interrupted.

"I'll offer a fourth-grade Artifact of Attack."

As this voice settled, the surrounding crowd all turned to look in the direction it came from.

Who else could it be speaking but Ding Fan?

Ding Fan knew the Aurora Skybead was a fake since the real one was in his possession; what could this be if not a fake?

But even though he knew it was fake, Ding Fan did not want Zhang Kaizhi to obtain it so easily.

"I did not expect this friend to be so unwilling to let others have their moment," Zhang Kaizhi said, his brows furrowed tightly, and his tone much colder as he looked toward Ding Fan.

"If you're really sincere, then show your capability. What's the point in begging everyone around you?" Ding Fan said coldly to Zhang Kaizhi.

"Fine...fine..." Zhang Kaizhi glanced back at Luo Shui beside him, then raised his voice and said, "I am willing to offer a third-grade Artifact of Attack, plus a fifth-grade Spirit Pill."

After Zhang Kaizhi had finished speaking, the crowd erupted in exclamations.

A fifth-grade Spirit Pill was extremely valuable, and now Zhang Kaizhi was willing to part with a fifth-grade Spirit Pill, along with a third-grade Artifact of Attack in exchange for the Aurora Skybead.

This bid was indeed lavish.

"This kid has really gone mad, not even knowing what the Aurora Skybead is for and yet daring to offer such a price..."

"What do you know? Haven't you seen the lady by that kid's side? A beauty's smile can overthrow cities..."

"Fuck, what I want is immortality; what use are beauties to me? When I want pleasure, I can just toss some money around and indulge in the finest on earth..."

"Do you think everyone is like you? There are men in the world who are pure at heart..."

The crowd below was abuzz with discussion.

"This Aurora Skybead can't be so simple; I remember an introduction in a book once, the bead has nine colors, sensing heaven and earth, changing atmospheric energy... It is said that when a color on the bead lights up, it can influence a region of the world... Such a treasure, I wouldn't give up easily."

Ding Fan seemed to casually reveal the use of the Aurora Skybead. This caused those who were originally just onlookers to become serious.

To influence a space like that, it was simply a treasure.

At this moment, Zhang Kaizhi looked at Ding Fan with a very ugly expression. He had originally intended to keep the matter of the Aurora Skybead under wraps, but given the current situation, there was no way to hide it any longer.

"Since it's such a treasure, I offer a fourth-grade Artifact of Attack, plus five hundred Spirit Stones," an old woman stood up and bid.

"I offer a fourth-grade Artifact of Attack, plus a thousand Spirit Stones!"

"I offer a fourth-grade Artifact of Attack, plus five thousand Spirit Stones!"

Quickly, the Aurora Skybead's price skyrocketed to an unimaginable level.

Zhang Kaizhi's expression became incredibly grave at this time. He was determined to get the treasure, but with the price soaring , what was he to do...
