Chapter 619: A Big Deal

The two-month deadline agreed with Sikong Youlan arrived soon. Without disturbing Long Tian and the others in their cultivation, Ye Feng left the Absolute Martial Ark alone.

A young man with white hair suddenly opened his eyes—it was actually Long Quan’s avatar left in this world. His gaze drifted toward the direction of Longquan City. “Being able to appear and disappear at will under my detection means the virtual treasure he carries must be at least at the peak level, and it can also hold many people. It’s highly likely to be a palace-type virtual treasure… Who exactly is this Ye Feng? He possesses a peak-level virtual treasure, a second-class divine skill, and is guarded by numerous experts in the virtual realm… Could he be a powerful being reborn?”

Ye Feng was completely unaware that he had already been noticed. His cultivation level was far too far below Long Quan’s, so he had no way of detecting such surveillance.

After sending a message to Sikong Youlan, Ye Feng instantly appeared at the entrance of the auction hall. The attendant there had clearly been informed in advance by Sikong Youlan. As soon as he saw Ye Feng, he led him inside immediately. “Mr. Ye, please wait in the VIP room. The president will be here shortly.”

After preparing a cup of tea for Ye Feng, the attendant left the VIP room.

Just as Ye Feng took a few sips of his tea, Sikong Youlan arrived in a hurry.

“I’ve prepared everything. What were the buyers’ reactions?” Ye Feng asked calmly with a smile.

“If we can’t reach an agreement on the price, I’ll arrange for them to meet with you. They’ve already been informed to come over,” Sikong Youlan said, sitting down across from Ye Feng. “However, regarding your proposal to exchange martial arts techniques for second-class divine skills, they refused to trade one for two. They demanded one for three, but through our efforts, they agreed to compromise and trade two for five…”

Hearing this, Ye Feng frowned slightly. Instead of responding right away, he asked, “How many types of martial arts techniques do they have, and what are they?”

“Three types of swordsmanship, two types of swordplay, and one other type of martial art,” Sikong Youlan replied carefully, trying to gauge Ye Feng’s limits. “If we go by their request, six martial arts techniques could be exchanged for fifteen second-class divine skills. That’s quite a number…”

“It’s acceptable,” Ye Feng nodded. He hadn’t expected there to be so many remaining martial arts techniques in this world.

“The price for the third-tier divine techniques has also been reduced to 170 billion star crystals each. Two parties have accepted this price and placed orders,” Sikong Youlan said, looking at Ye Feng in anticipation of his response. After all, these third-tier divine techniques were the most crucial part of this deal.
“This price is acceptable,” Ye Feng replied. Although he knew that in a proper auction, the price might reach 200 billion, he didn’t intend to wait any longer. He had originally planned to accept any price above 150 billion, so this figure, which was even higher, was easier for him to accept.
“As for the top-tier spiritual treasures, we managed to lower the price a bit. For palace-type top-tier spiritual treasures, the price is 260 billion each, and three people have expressed interest in purchasing them. As for ship-type top-tier spiritual treasures, the price is 380 billion each, with two people interested.”
“Both of these prices are acceptable!” Ye Feng nodded, satisfied with these figures.
“Mr. Ye, do you have any more second-tier divine techniques? Three more people are willing to pay 11 billion each to purchase them,” Sikong Youlan pressed, fearing he might say no.
“I do have three more,” Ye Feng nodded. “Shall we complete the transactions now?”
“Hmm!” Sikong Youlan nodded as well. “If the prices are fine, we can finalize these deals right away. I can also inform those buyers that the transactions have been settled, so they don’t need to come here.”
“Sure. Here are 18 second-tier divine techniques—15 of them can be exchanged for six martial arts powers, and the other three are worth 330 billion star crystals,” Ye Feng said, taking out those second-tier divine techniques from his storage ring and handing them to Sikong Youlan.
Sikong Youlan also took out the six martial arts powers and a ring containing 330 billion star crystals from her own ring. “Please check and count them as well!”
After putting all the items and star crystals obtained from the transactions back into his storage ring, Ye Feng took out three palace-type top-tier spiritual treasures and two ship-type top-tier spiritual treasures. “These are the top-tier spiritual treasures you wanted. Based on your earlier quote, the total price is 154 billion!”
Sikong Youlan inspected the five top-tier spiritual treasures and then handed over another storage ring to Ye Feng. “There’s 154 billion inside. Please check the quantity.”
Ye Feng used his spiritual power to transfer all the star crystals from that ring to his own, then returned the storage ring to Sikong Youlan.

“Two third-grade divine techniques. Based on your price just now, the total amount is 340 billion.” When Ye Feng took out the third-grade divine techniques, Si Kong Youlan’s breathing became heavier. After a long while, she took the two books and examined them carefully before handing the star crystals to Ye Feng. Si Kong Youlan immediately put the two third-grade divine technique books back into her storage ring and said, “Since it was the buyer who requested the purchase, all related costs will be borne by the buyer. You don’t need to cover anything.” “I thought so!” Ye Feng was also a bit surprised after counting everything—there was no service fee deducted. After Si Kong Youlan explained, it turned out the buyer had paid the fee themselves. “The transaction is complete. I won’t disturb you any longer,” Ye Feng said, then left quickly. He wanted to find a quiet place to convert all these star crystals into Domain Values of the Virtual Realm to obtain privilege rewards. When Ye Feng’s figure disappeared again, Long Quan’s avatar became even more convinced, “Third-grade divine techniques and the most powerful spiritual treasures can be used at will—this guy must be the reincarnation of some powerful being from the upper realm!” After entering the Absolute Martial Ark, Ye Feng stepped into the Virtual Realm. “Convert all 527 billion star crystals into sixth-tier Domain Values!” “Number of star crystals: 527 billion. Convertible Domain Values: 527 trillion!” “Achieved breakthrough in sixth-tier Domain Values—receive privilege rewards!” “One Supreme Privilege, one Ultimate Comprehension Privilege.” “Available privileges: Supreme Privilege, Ultimate Comprehension Privilege, Ultimate Exchange Privilege, Ultimate Replication Privilege, Ultimate Repair Privilege…” Without even looking, Ye Feng made his choice right away. “Choose the Ultimate Comprehension Privilege.” “Use one Supreme Privilege to exchange for two Ultimate Comprehension Privileges!” “Domain Lord receives three Ultimate Comprehension Privileges!” Ye Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. The three Comprehension Privileges he had used earlier were all replenished at once, which made him very pleased. Looking at his sixth-tier Domain Values—542.82 trillion, not including the small amount—even without using the free privileges, it was enough to buy many good things. After stepping out of the Virtual Realm, Ye Feng checked the time-displaying dial. “There are still 233 years until the Genius Competition starts. I can take this time to visit the place where the secret patterns are passed down and complete the inheritance of 30,000 secret patterns…”
