Chapter 2320 - 2321: Trap

Yang Fei has always been a wanderer, not a gentleman.

To him, encountering such a beautiful young girl at the right time, he wouldn't mind doing something everyone loves to do with her.

However, Yang Fei dislikes this kind of coercion, and even less so wishes for a woman to accept him out of gratitude.

To Yang Fei, this is the greatest insult to his personal charm.

After resting for a while on the massage bed, Yang Fei got up and went out.

Under the guidance of a staff member, he found Zi Yan.

Zi Yan looked at Yang Fei with a peculiar gaze, as if Yang Fei were emasculated.

But such a gaze flashed and vanished quickly; she soon carefully concealed it.

Yang Fei knew that Zi Yan already knew about what happened between him and Mei Suizi, but he was too lazy to explain anything.

Such a small character wasn't worth Yang Fei explaining to her.

He said blandly, "Notify me at the auction; I want to pose as your attendant and go along."

Zi Yan was taken aback; she wanted to say something, but Yang Fei had already turned and left.

Yang Fei spent the entire afternoon in the massage room, practicing Niu Ji's third-Layer divine power, Mountain Moving.

The current Mountain Moving Divine Power has only practiced Mountain of Heavenly Path; Mountains of Earthly Path and Human Path have not yet been mastered.

However, the power of this Mountain Moving Divine Power is incredibly strong; a Mountain of Heavenly Path can already suppress Brahma Venerable without any chance to retaliate.

If the three mountains of Heaven, Earth, and Human are simultaneously invoked, Yang Fei believes that even a Spirit Transformation Expert would be unable to withstand it.

In the evening, Zi Yan sent someone to invite Yang Fei, and a group of four left and got into a Mercedes, driving toward the Izu Hotel.

Izu Hotel is a five-star hotel located in central Xijing, at the intersection of two main streets, bustling with people and prospering business.

The auction takes place on the 12th floor of Izu Hotel, in a small business meeting room.

Yang Fei posed as Zi Yan's bodyguard, wearing sunglasses and a black suit, with an earpiece.

He activated the Serpent Sting, with not a trace of spiritual energy fluctuation on him.

To anyone's eyes, he was a standard bodyguard.

After Zi Yan and the others entered the auction hall, Yang Fei surveyed the people within.

Besides a few wealthy elites, he also spotted two cultivators.

And beyond that, Yang Fei could faintly sense.

A few concealed yet powerful auras emanated from the stairways and elevator entrances on this floor.

Such an auction, with items that are not particularly valuable, yet guarded so strictly.

The corner of Yang Fei's mouth formed a playful sneer.

It seems this auction was indeed aimed at him.

But, with just these few useless cultivators, how could they possibly contain him?

As Yang Fei sneered internally, he suddenly felt a formidable aura steadily approaching and then lurking silently.

Meanwhile, another powerful aura appeared within the auction hall, with a killing intent as sharp as ice.

At this, Yang Fei slightly nodded.

These two individuals' realms were likely already at the Early Golden Core Stage, making this formation somewhat noteworthy.

He turned thoughts in his mind, observing the surroundings without betraying any emotion, while the auction had already begun.

The first item up for auction was a Sutra Scroll; it is said that frequently reciting this scroll can calm one's mind and bring peace and joy.

The first auction item was sold for 7 million Rice Gold and acquired by a swollen-faced, bluish-colored wealthy man.

Yang Fei found it amusing.

This wealthy elite, at a glance, seemed to be indulging in excesses, buying this scroll to recite for calm; it could indeed be effective.

The second and third auction items were for nourishing health and extending life, acquired by present wealthy elites at a price of less than ten million Rice Gold.

The fourth auction item was a Jade Lion, with a Vajra Seal hidden inside, used for exorcising demons and subduing ghosts.

However, the seal inside this Jade Lion was dim in spiritual energy.

This item had evidently been used too long, depleting too much spiritual energy, reducing it to a semi-defective product.

Nevertheless, even so, this Magic Artifact was far more valuable than the previous few artifacts.

Yang Fei indicated to Zi Yan to bid for it; though this item was not impressive, the jade is quite rare.

Under Yang Fei's possession, once refined with Phoenix Mysterious Fire and infused with Vajra Realm Divine Power's seal, it could become a top-notch Magic Artifact.

Many discerning people, not just Yang Fei, participated in the bidding for this item upon its appearance.

Quickly, the price of this Magic Artifact had risen to 35 million US Dollars, with prices continuing to rise.

Zi Yan had already started to hesitate; after all, the Jade Lion was tattered and covered with green blemishes, and the jade quality wasn't considered good.

The astronomical price of 35 million could purchase a dozen such jade items.

In the eyes of the cultivators, ordinary people were merely ants.

Now, Zi Yan, such an ant, dared to compete for items with two cultivators, inadvertently stepping on the taboo of the cultivators.

Yang Fei was too indifferent to continue competing with these two cultivators and transmitted with spiritual power, whispering lightly by Zi Yan's ear.

Zi Yan was startled, yet still raised her paddle high.

"One-hundred million Rice Gold!"

Everyone jumped in shock.

This tattered Jade Lion—even as a Magic Artifact—was not worth this much money.

Both cultivators were dumbfounded.

Although they were cultivators and earning money wasn't difficult, one hundred million Rice Gold was nonetheless an overwhelmingly large sum for them.

The two angrily stopped bidding.

Glaring with disclosed killing intent at Zi Yan's group.

With Yang Fei as a backbone behind her, Zi Yan wasn't afraid of these two, instead glaring back fiercely.

The final auction item was introduced by the host with great solemnity.

"This item has a very peculiar origin and is reportedly related to a great secret."

"It is the legendary object, the Crystal Skull, long circulated in the West."

The crowd was in uproar.

In fact, the Crystal Skull has been circulated globally for hundreds of years, with various mystical tales.

Some believe the Crystal Skull can open the Gate of the Great Earth, containing endless treasures and the secret to immortality.

Others believe the Crystal Skull can grant extraordinary power and eternal life.

...

In whichever country's folklore, the Crystal Skull is always a mystical treasure.

If fortunate enough to obtain it, one may encounter miraculous adventures.

The auction saw a fresh climax, the Crystal Skull rapidly rising to a price of one hundred million Rice Gold.

Yang Fei sneered on the side.

He possessed a full five Crystal Skulls and could immediately tell this auction item was a counterfeit.

It seems it was indeed a trap!
