Chapter 1400: Chapter 1398: Sky Island Auction (First Update)

Watching Liu Xuaner’s departing figure, Nalan Yunfei’s expression was incredibly gloomy, her eyes flickering with intense jealousy.

”Why? Why?”

”Why can you be born high and mighty, with great talent, and even become the next heir of the Jade Maiden Palace, while I cannot!”

Facing Liu Xuaner, Nalan Yunfei’s heart was full of jealousy and hatred; she envied Liu Xuaner’s powerful strength, her status, and more than anything, her immaculate body.

This was also where she felt the most pain and hatred, as the events that occurred one night with those thugs forever haunted her. It twisted her mind, making it ugly and hideous.

”One day, everything you have will belong to me!”

Nalan Yunfei’s face turned icy; a strange cold smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, her eyes gleaming with a snake-like gaze.

In a cave on a certain island on the Heavenly Island, Xiao Yifeng emerged from inside, breathing in the sea breeze, and exclaimed, ”Waking up feeling refreshed!”

”Come, have a sip!”

Luo Qianyu tossed over a wine jug, which Xiao Yifeng caught easily.

”Drinking so early in the morning?”

Xiao Yifeng laughed.

”You can drink wine anytime, anywhere!”

Luo Qianyu gulped down a mouthful.

”What do you plan to do next?”

Xiao Yifeng took a sip of the wine and spoke.

”There’s an auction on Heavenly Island today, shall we go take a look?”

Luo Qianyu said.

”You’re not going to rescue your master?”

Xiao Yifeng looked at Luo Qianyu.

”Of course I will! I’m planning to sneak into Tian Ce Manor at night to gather some information!”

Luo Qianyu replied.

”Infiltrating Tian Ce Manor is a very dangerous task; if discovered, it will be over.”

Xiao Yifeng frowned.

”Even if it’s dangerous, I must go!”

Luo Qianyu’s eyes flickered with determination.

”Alright, let’s first have a stroll around the auction, and then visit Tian Ce Manor tonight!”

Xiao Yifeng walked up to Luo Qianyu, hooked his arm around his shoulder, and said.

”Thank you!”

Luo Qianyu looked at Xiao Yifeng with gratitude in his eyes.

”We’re brothers, no need for such polite words!”

Xiao Yifeng shook his head.

The Sky Island Auction is an organization independent of the Seven Great Powers of Heavenly Island, formed by some strong loose cultivators from the island, responsible for collecting various rare treasures for auction.

Others can also put their items up for auction here, but this auction differs from those in the outside world.

This auction sells items suitable for martial artists, and payments are made not in currency but in spirit stones.

In the central zone of Heavenly Island, there stands a massive building, which is where the Sky Island Auction takes place.

At this moment, a large number of martial artists from Heavenly Island and various Clan Forces have gathered here, all drawn by the auction.

These Sky Island Auctions are not held frequently, but whenever there is one, it is sure to have plenty of good things, attracting a vast crowd each time.

At this moment, two peculiar figures appeared here; the two were clad in white robes, concealing their bodies, wearing masks to cover their faces, making it impossible to see their features. Naturally, these two were Xiao Yifeng and Luo Qianyu.

For today’s auction, people from the Seven Great Sects Forces will surely come, including Tiancang Sect. If Xiao Yifeng doesn’t dress like this, he might get surrounded by Tiancang Sect before even seeing the auction.

”Please pay ten inferior grade spirit stones each,”

As Xiao Yifeng and Luo Qianyu were about to enter the auction, the guard at the door stopped them and said.

”What, you have to pay ten inferior grade spirit stones to attend an auction?”

Xiao Yifeng looked surprised.

”Sorry, it’s ten inferior grade spirit stones per person; it’s the entry fee!”

The guard continued.

”That’s so exploitative!”

Xiao Yifeng was speechless; he didn’t expect that attending an auction would require an entry fee of ten inferior grade spirit stones per person, quite the money-making scheme.

”This has always been the rule at the Sky Island Auction because the ones behind it are some loose cultivator experts, so they need to increase their spirit stone income to aid their training!”

Luo Qianyu looked at Xiao Yifeng and explained.

”Hey kid, if you don’t have spirit stones, get lost and don’t block the way!”

At this moment, a disdainful shout came from behind Xiao Yifeng.

”What did you say?”

Xiao Yifeng turned around to see a group of people behind him, with none other than Young Master Knife Gate Xu Jiawei at the front, the one who was fighting over Nalan Yunfei at the restaurant yesterday. He looked at Xiao Yifeng arrogantly, followed by five or six subordinates, all experts at the Body Tempering Realm.

”You don’t understand what I said? Poor people shouldn’t come to places like this; this auction is not for people like you. Coming without being able to afford the entry fee is shameless!”

Xu Jiawei sneered at Xiao Yifeng with disdain, then waved his hand, and dozens of inferior grade spirit stones appeared in the guard’s hand at the auction entrance.

”Young Master Xu, please come in!”

The guard immediately said hurriedly.

”Hmph!”

Xu Jiawei looked at Xiao Yifeng arrogantly, sneered, and was about to push Xiao Yifeng aside to go in, only to be bumped by Xiao Yifeng into nearly falling to the ground.

”You...”

Xu Jiawei stared at Xiao Yifeng angrily.

”Here!”

Xiao Yifeng looked at the guard and directly threw out more than ten superior grade spirit stones. The guard at the entrance instantly froze, as did Xu Jiawei.

”Let’s go!”

Xiao Yifeng said to Luo Qianyu, glancing over Xu Jiawei and walked straight into the auction.

Seeing those ten superior grade spirit stones, Xu Jiawei felt like he had been slapped hard.

One middle-grade spirit stone is equivalent to one hundred inferior grade spirit stones, and one superior grade spirit stone equals ten thousand inferior grade spirit stones. These more than ten superior grade spirit stones are equivalent to hundreds of thousands of inferior grade spirit stones.

Earlier, he mocked Xiao Yifeng as a pauper who couldn’t afford the entry fee of ten inferior grade spirit stones, but in turn, Xiao Yifeng just took out tens of thousands worth of inferior grade spirit stones as entry fee and went in, the slap in the face was loud and clear.

All of this was seen by the arriving Nalan Yunfei, her eyes flickering with cold light.

”I didn’t expect you would dare to appear here!”

Nalan Yunfei spoke coldly, obviously recognizing the person who brought out more than ten superior grade spirit stones as none other than Xiao Yifeng. Although Xiao Yifeng was wrapped tightly, he didn’t change his voice.

Perhaps those unfamiliar with him might find it hard to distinguish him by voice alone, but for Nalan Yunfei, who harbored deep hatred towards him, just hearing the voice was enough to tell that it was indeed Xiao Yifeng.
