Chapter 153: The New Ultimate Privilege

Ye Feng walked around the circular corridor and arrived at the front desk, where he found Yao Yan. “It’s over! Let’s go see Elder Yao!”
Yao Yan put down what she was doing, whispered something to a woman nearby, then led Ye Feng away. After taking Ye Feng into the appraisal room from before, Yao Yan hung a “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door before closing it.
“Six top-grade spirit crystals? That’s beyond my expectations. I thought I could at most get five top-grade spirit crystals plus five mid-grade ones,” said Elder Yao with a smile as he looked at Ye Feng. “But as I said before, I’m willing to accept any price.”
Ye Feng then took out the Immortal Grass and placed it on the table.
“Mr. Ye, is this the only one you have left?” Elder Yao asked eagerly. “I know this question might be presumptuous, but actually, I need two!”
“I know, Miss Yao told me!” Ye Feng pretended to be hesitant. “But…”
“Do you really have it?” Seeing Ye Feng’s expression, Elder Yao thought there might be a chance.
“I did find three, but one is meant for my own use!” Ye Feng feigned hesitation. “I’m not very willing to sell it!”
“Could you sell it to me? You know, I’m buying this partly to give as a gift,” Elder Yao said eagerly. “I can add five mid-grade spirit crystals!”
“I can sell it to you. After all, I’m still far from reaching the Tribulation stage. But I hate trouble—I don’t want anyone other than you two to know that the Immortal Grass comes from me. If you reveal it, it could get me killed!” Ye Feng said seriously.
“I promise I won’t tell anyone else!” Elder Yao assured him.
“Alright!” Ye Feng nodded and obtained another Immortal Grass from the virtual realm, placing it on the table.
Elder Yao stared at the two Immortal Grasses on the table, overjoyed. After a while, he regained his composure and took out twelve top-grade spirit crystals and five mid-grade ones from his storage ring, placing them on the table as well.
Ye Feng casually collected the twelve spirit crystals. “As agreed, based on the auction price, I don’t need to charge you five extra mid-grade crystals! If you insist on giving them, consider them as a confidentiality fee from me! This transaction is between us alone—no third party will know!”

“A confidentiality fee… Alright!” Old Yao shook his head with a hint of amusement but still agreed to Ye Feng’s request.
…
In a VIP room in the auction hall, a middle-aged man sitting on a luxurious sofa said to a man in green robes standing beside him, “When that old man who bought the Immortal Grass leaves, kill him and seize the Immortal Grass! Also, find out more about that seller—if possible, bring him back alive!”
In another VIP room, a young man dressed in brocade narrowed his eyes slightly, yawned lazily, and said to a man in black robes beside him, “The Immortal Grass is interesting! Find out everything about the seller! There are only two kinds of people who would sell it: either novices in cultivation who know nothing, or masters at the Mahayana stage who have already passed the heavenly tribulation. Let’s see which category he belongs to. Also, keep an eye on that old man who bought the Immortal Grass—don’t act yet; someone else will surely try to take it. Look for an opportunity to reap the benefits and get that Immortal Grass.”
“Master, don’t we already have enough Immortal Grass?” the man in black robes asked in surprise.
“Having a few extra pieces as backups never hurts! Since we’ve come across it, why give it away to others?” the man in brocade replied coldly.
“I understand!” The man in black robes nodded immediately and left the VIP room swiftly.
…
Ye Feng returned to his residence, canceled the room he had been staying in at the hotel for the past few days, and left quickly. Wearing a detector, he found a secluded place, changed into new clothes, and put on a mask.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he had transformed from a disheveled man into an old man with white hair and beard. His every move exuded an air of an immortal. Ye Feng was impressed with his acting skills.
He changed his mask again because he was worried that someone might discover he was the one who sold the Immortal Grass. With the teleportation array issue still unresolved, he didn’t want to attract more trouble, so he had to change his appearance once more.
After checking into a hotel under a new identity, Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“This time I’m rich!” Ye Feng lay lazily on the three-seater sofa, extending his mental energy into the void.

Ye Feng glanced at the items in his locker, including the top-grade spirit crystal that Zong Hao had given him earlier. In total, he had nineteen such crystals. This time, he had purchased three Immortal Grasses, which cost him 90,000 points of second-tier domain value, leaving him with only 117,984 points left.

“19 top-grade spirit crystals can be exchanged for 1,900,000 points of second-tier domain value. Do you wish to proceed with the exchange?”

Ye Feng didn’t hesitate and chose to exchange for domain value.

“Exchange successful! Current second-tier domain value: 2,017,984 points!”

“Domain value has suddenly exceeded one million—special reward obtained: Ultimate Discount Rights!”

“Ultimate Discount Rights? What is that?” As this thought crossed Ye Feng’s mind, a young voice spoke up—it was Ed.

“Ultimate Discount Rights is a very special privilege because it is permanent and effective at all levels of the Virtual Realm,” Ed explained. “In general, it means that when you purchase a certain number of items, you’ll get a discount on them. However, different products may require different quantities to qualify for a discount, and the discount percentage might vary as well.”

“For one item, you might only need to buy two or more to get a discount, perhaps 95% off. For another item, you might need to buy a hundred or more to get a discount, maybe 10% off… With Ultimate Discount Rights, all items on the shelves in the Virtual Realm will have two extra lines of text: one showing the discounted price and the other showing the quantity required to qualify for the discount.” Ed explained in detail.

“It sounds great. Everyone likes things on sale…” After hearing this, Ye Feng roughly understood how it worked…
