'It's this bastard again! Every time he tries to ruin my plans!'
"Five million five hundred thousand!" Jin Wan clenched his teeth and raised the price.
"Six million!" Qin Feng did not hesitate.
As the young master of the Spirit Pill Sect, Jin Wan naturally had a lot of money to use. However, a few million gold was something even the young master of the Spirit Pill Sect had to consider carefully.
Whether or not he had these millions of gold taels and whether or not he was willing to take them out were two different concepts.
"Do you think this little amount of gold can scare me off? I am the young master of the Spirit Pill Sect. I have more than ten million gold in my hands. Do you think a piece of trash like you can compete with me?
Seven million gold! "
Jin Wan slapped the table and stood up. This brat had repeatedly ruined his plans. His patience had reached its limit.
Qin Feng did not care about Jin Wan's threat at all. "Seven million five hundred thousand!"
It was as if he didn't care about the seven million taels of gold at all!
Seven million five hundred thousand gold! Even the cultivators sitting in the private room could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Qin Feng did not hide his identity when he participated in the auction, so as long as one inquired a little, they would know who was sitting in the private room.
Because of Qin Feng's heroic actions in the secret realm, many cultivators were curious about Qin Feng. Not long ago, this brat was just an ordinary cultivator in Tianshui City.
Casually taking out seven million five hundred thousand gold was something even the old families of the Tiannan Empire might not be able to do. How could a country bumpkin from Tianshui City do that?
"Eight million gold!" Jin Wan's eyes were scarlet. This was his limit.
"Eight million ten thousand gold!"
The corners of Qin Feng's mouth curled up. He could also feel that Jin Wan had reached his limit, so this time, he only added 10,000 taels.
Jin Wan almost broke his teeth from clenching them. Even a fool knew that Qin Feng was playing with him. He could naturally add ten thousand gold, but what about after that?
Give up?
This thought appeared in Jin Wan's mind. He had been forced to this point by a country bumpkin!
"Eight million taels of gold, can you afford it?" Jin Wan coldly snorted.
"Admit defeat?
Boring! "Qin Feng snorted disdainfully.
Jin Wan took a deep breath. If this was not the Thousand Gold Pavilion, then this smelly brat who dared to provoke him would have already been killed by him a thousand times.
"Let's go!" Jin Wan angrily left the table.
In two days, the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony would begin. Once he entered the secret realm, he wanted Qin Feng to die a horrible death. He wanted to cut Qin Feng into a thousand pieces!
With the Hell Flame Essence in hand, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction. With this piece of Hell Flame Essence, he would be able to condense his true essence with a little bit more help.
As for the eight million taels of gold, a stack of banknotes was placed on the counter of the Thousand Gold Pavilion and everything was settled.
Fortunately, Qin Feng had annihilated the Eighteen Strongholds of the Heavenly Kings and looted their treasury. Otherwise, it would have been a big problem for him to come up with eight million taels of gold.
As for the seven spirit stones that Shi Qinghao had taken out, they were put away by Qin Feng. This was a rare thing. At least in the Heavenly South Empire, it was a good thing that could not be bought with money.
It should be said that Shi Qinghao was worthy of being a disciple of a Martial Holy Land. He was actually willing to use spirit stones to trade!
As for what Shi Qinghao wanted to do with the 'Eight Desolate Sword Qi', that was not something that Qin Feng needed to consider. In any case, he did not care about this' Eight Desolate Sword Qi '.
The auction was also the last crazy event before the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony. After this auction, all the martial artists who were preparing to participate in the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony began to adjust their state. They would be in their best condition to welcome the arrival of the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony.
As for Qin Feng, he stayed behind closed doors and did not come out. He had consumed too much blood essence and needed to recuperate. Under the nourishment of many medicinal pills, Qin Feng recovered to 50% of his peak strength.
"Brother Qin Feng, the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony has begun!"
Qin Ying was dressed in battle armor. She was somewhat excited as she looked at the center of the Imperial Capital. That was the entrance to the Secret Realm.
Qin Feng nodded. "Let's go. Let's see what this Heavenly South Grand Ceremony is all about!"
The Heavenly South Grand Ceremony was an event for the Heavenly South Imperial Family to worship their ancestors. The Heavenly South Imperial Family all knelt on the ground. There was a copper basin at their feet. They cut their wrists and blood flowed into the copper basin.
The moment the bright red blood fell into the copper basin, the blood flowed backward and flew out of the copper basin. There was a force that was attracting the blood.
Boom!
Thousands of drops of blood condensed together. At this moment, something in the sky seemed to open. The blood condensed into a blood sword under the effect of this force. When the blood sword was waved, the void shook and web-like cracks appeared in the sky.
The blood sword waved again. The sky shattered and a door appeared in the sky. An ancient aura spread over the Imperial Capital.
Qin Feng glanced at the door in the void. "It looks familiar."
"Welcome, Ancestor!" The Heavenly South Imperial Family shouted in unison.
The door opened and a phantom slowly walked out. It reached out and grabbed the blood sword. "Open!"
Boom!
In front of the phantom, the space distorted and a door appeared in the sky above the palace. This was the door to the Secret Realm!
"The Heavenly South Imperial Family can't be underestimated. No wonder they were able to establish their country for 800 years!" Jin Wan said indifferently.
This kind of ceremony that summoned a part of the ancestor's power from other realms was quite shocking. It refreshed their understanding of the Heavenly South Imperial Family.
"All the warriors here are elites who have qualified for the Heavenly South Grand Ceremony. This time, the Heavenly South Imperial Family will open the Secret Realm. Everyone can enter the Secret Realm to search for treasures. However, when you leave the Secret Realm, the Heavenly South Imperial Family has the right to choose a treasure first," the Emperor said.
"We already know this rule. Since the Heavenly South Imperial Family is so generous, we can't be stingy. Okay!" Jin Wan stepped forward and led the experts of the Spirit Pill Sect into the Secret Realm.
Long Xuan also nodded and led the experts of the Ice River Valley into the Secret Realm.
"Junior Martial Uncle, we should go in too!" Yang Guyun said.
"En, Big Brother Qin Feng, let's go in together?" Qin Ying said.
Qin Feng nodded and called for Jiang Ziyue's sisters. They walked into the Secret Realm together.
Suddenly, the sky and earth spun. Qin Feng's expression changed slightly. "Oh no!"
Qin Feng's body swayed and landed firmly on the ground. There was no one around him!
"Is the entrance of this Secret Realm randomly teleported?"
Qin Feng snorted indifferently. This would be troublesome. After being separated from Qin Ying and the others, he was afraid that he would be in danger.
"Even the Giant Dragon Power Ape and the Treasure Monkey were separated from me!" Qin Feng sighed and looked at the dark sky above his head.
The sky was dark. There was no sun, and there was a dark gray airflow flowing in the sky.
"Will the divine soul and True Origin be suppressed?"
Qin Feng muttered to himself. Indeed, there was only a weak flame flickering in his palm. Even the Eternal Fire was suppressed to this extent. How much would the other divine souls be suppressed?
"This Secret Realm seems to have suffered a destructive blow. This force suppressing the True Origin and divine soul seems to have something to do with it." Qin Feng analyzed in his heart.
After all, he was a Martial Emperor. His knowledge was extraordinary. Although some of his memories were missing, he could still see the uniqueness of this Secret Realm at a glance.
"This is … an alchemy furnace?"
Qin Feng looked at the broken furnace in front of him and frowned slightly. However, the metal residue in the furnace told Qin Feng that it was not an alchemy furnace. It was a furnace for refining weapons!
"The refining materials are all in the cauldron. Did something happen?" Qin Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed. The damaged cauldron was put into his storage ring by Qin Feng.
Qin Feng walked in this spacious wilderness for four hours. A strong smell of blood assaulted his nostrils. A broken corpse hung on the black thorns.
The blood of the corpse had not yet congealed and was still very fresh. This corpse had not been dead for more than two hours!
"It's the people of the Ice River Valley!" Qin Feng looked at the tattered clothes of the corpse and recognized the identity of this person.
Those who could follow Long Xuan in were all True Origin Realm martial artists. They were all experts of the Ice River Valley. However, such people had died in this Secret Realm. They had died silently.
The instant Qin Feng walked past the corpse, a black shadow shot out from the corpse.
Qin Feng's hair stood on end. He smelled the aura of death!
Clang!
In a hurry, Qin Feng waved his palm. His body trembled and he staggered back a few steps.
Qin Feng looked at the sunken armor on his palm in astonishment. With a thought, the sunken area wriggled and recovered to its original state.
On the corpse, a fist-sized black insect was staring at Qin Feng. Its black wings were like sickles.
"Shadow Sickle Insect?" Qin Feng looked at the insect with a strange expression. How could there be such a demon beast here?
It was no wonder that the Ice River Valley's expert had died here. Even a True Origin Realm martial artist would die if they were targeted by a Shadow Sickle Insect without any preparation.
Qin Feng touched the bloody line on his neck. If he hadn't reacted quickly and avoided his vital parts, he would have suffered the same fate as the Ice River Valley's expert.
"However, since I know that it's a Shadow Sickle Insect, there's nothing to be afraid of!" Qin Feng stretched out his hand and a heavy sword formed in his palm.
"The most dangerous part of a Shadow Sickle Insect is the fatal strike hidden in the dark. Since you didn't kill me, the one who will die is you!" Qin Feng took a step forward and slashed down with his heavy sword.
"Ding!"
The Shadow Sickle Insect's two sharp sickles blocked the heavy sword. Although the Shadow Sickle Insect was small in size, its strength was surprisingly great.
Boom!
However, Qin Feng's wrist exerted force and the Shadow Sickle Insect was sent flying. Qin Feng threw out the heavy sword in his hand and the tip of the sword nailed the Shadow Sickle Insect to death. In a flash, the outcome was decided!
Qin Feng grabbed the heavy sword and it returned to Qin Feng's body. Qin Feng grabbed the Shadow Sickle Insect and pulled out the two sickles, storing them in his storage ring.
