Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2256: First Encounter with Leng Yue

As Qing Feng and Zhao Hai entered the auction house, a young woman immediately greeted them, “Gentlemen, please come with me.” Qin Feng and Zhao Hai didn’t respond and just followed behind the woman.

Before long, the three arrived at a staircase leading downwards. The woman led the two to the staircase and continued to walk downward. Finally, they arrived in front of a door. After pushing the door open, the woman gestured inside and said, “Gentlemen, please.”

Entering the room, Zhao Hai and Qin Feng couldn’t help but stare. They didn’t expect to see such a scene. They were inside a huge underground hall. It was enormous, almost as big as a stadium. In the middle of the hall was an open space with a table in the center. 

Around the open space were chairs arranged from low to high. The lowest chair was at the same level as the open space. It had the same setup as a stadium.

At this time, the young woman walked in and then bowed, “These will be your seats.”

Qin Feng stared, he looked at the woman in confusion as he asked, “We’re sitting here? Why can’t we sit in the front?”

The young woman smiled and said, “The two thousand jade essences that you paid on the door is only the entrance deposit. Because of this, you can only sit in the tenth row. If you deposit an additional thousand jade essences, you can sit in the ninth row. If you deposited more than two thousand jade essences, you could sit even lower, and so on. If you deposited ten thousand jade essences, you can sit in the front row where you can see the item more clearly. Moreover, for the items you buy, you will get a 1 percent discount if you sit in the tenth row. But if you sit in the first row, the auction house will give you a 10 percent discount on all things you buy. Of course, your entry deposit will be deducted first if you decide to buy.”

Qin Feng turned to Zhao Hai who raised his brow. Then Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Alright, we’ll be sitting in the first row.” As he said that, he handed a spatial bag to the young woman.

Receiving the spatial bag, the young woman looked at the contents, then her expression changed as she quickly shifted her tone, “Gentlemen, please come with me.” After that, she led the two to the first brown. All this time, Qin Feng felt numb as he followed behind the young woman. Although he knew that Zhao Hai was rich, he didn’t expect Zhao Hai to casually take 20 thousand jade essences in one go. He couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

As the two sat in the front row, the young woman immediately set up a table along with good wine. She even asked if they needed anything else. She could serve any food available in Windrange Town, all for free.

Zhao Hai just waved his hand and asked the young woman to bring two more bottles of wine and nothing else. The young woman immediately turned around and left.

But what the two didn’t know was that after they sat in the first row, the other participants of the auction were in an uproar. This wasn’t the first time that they participated in an auction, naturally they knew about the rules of the seating. Sitting in the front row meant that they had deposited more than 10 thousand jade essences. To rogue cultivators, this number was unreachable. Plenty of rogue cultivators looked at Zhao Hai and Qin Feng with burning gazes, it was as though they had become statues made of jade essence.

Qin Feng could feel the gazes directed at him from all directions. He couldn’t help but get restless. Despite being a lover of wine, the taste of the win in front of him seemed to turn dull.

Seeing Qin Feng, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Don’t mind them. Come, have a drink. The wine here is very good. It seems like there will be good things in the auction.”

Qin Feng looked at Zhao Hai and couldn’t help but smile bitterly as he said, “Of course the wine is good. It’s Rainflower Wine, the top wine in Windrange Town. One pot is worth 50 jade essences.”

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Then you have to drink a lot today. The wine is free.”

Qin Feng smiled bitterly. To be honest, he felt tremendous pressure from the gazes directed at him. He couldn’t fully enjoy the wine.

As the two were talking, more cultivators entered. However, most of these cultivators found seats at the top rows. Only a few people sat near the bottom. And there was nobody in the front row besides Zhao Hai and Qin Feng.

Zhao Hai looked around and couldn’t help but smile. Although gazes were directed at him, he didn’t actually care. In any case, nobody knew who he was. It was one of the rare moments where he could act high-profile.

More cultivators arrived in the next hour, but none of them caught Zhao Hai’s attention. There was only one group that caught Zhao Hai’s eyes. This was a group of three people. One of them looked to be in his twenties. He was a handsome man but his face was pale. His eyes flashed a cold light, giving people a very gloomy feeling. In one look, Zhao Hai didn’t like this person.

Following this person were two Earth Monarchs. The two seemed to be his servants as they followed behind him with lowered gait and heads.

The reason they caught Zhao Hai’s attention was because they also sat in the front row. Naturally, they deposited ten thousand jade essences each.

As the young man sat in the front row, the auction house immediately roared with conversation. It was special if one person sat in the first row, but today there were two groups sitting in front. This surprised the auction’s participants.

But this surprise didn’t end soon. A few more people sat in the front row. There were now five groups sitting in front. Besides Zhao Hai and Qin Feng as well as the young man, there was also a group of women, each with graceful figures. One could tell at a glance that they were beauties. Zhao Hai knew as soon as he saw their clothes that they were all female cultivators from the Green Willow Sect.

The Green Willow Sect is a small sect within the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory. This small sect only received female disciples. Moreover, each disciple was astonishingly beautiful. The Green Willow Sect’s special skill was the Green Willow Sword. It was a set of powerful sword techniques. Their sect master was a Diamond Body Expert, which was considered as a powerful expert stronger than Teleportation Stage cultivators. Although the sect was considered small, medium-sized sects didn’t dare offend them.

The Green Willow Sect’s relationship with the Forbidden Path Sect was considered intimate. According to legend, every ten years, Green Willow Sect disciples would marry Forbidden Path Sect disciples. The two sects were bound together by marriage, which made their relationship very close. ṚἁΝốβЕṤ

Besides the Green Willow Sect disciples, there was also a group of black-robed cultivators. Embroidered on their sleeves was a small silver snake. Seeing this, Zhao Hai knew that they were from Spirit Snake Mountain.

Spirit Snake Mountain was a powerful clan affiliated with the Forbidden Path Sect. They are a clan that possess a powerful cultivation method called the Nine Revolutions Spirit Snake Method. It was said that if this cultivation method was practiced to its highest level, one’s body would become as flexible as a spirit snake, completely negating all kinds of attacks.

The last group to sit in the front row was a single person. They wore gray robes and had a long black blade on their back. As he sat in his chair, he looked like an unsheathed blade, making it hard for the attendants to approach him.

Besides these people, there was nobody else in the front row. Conversely, there were quite a few people sitting at the back. Zhao Hai even saw a few people from sects that were famous in the Forbidden Path Sect’s territory.

Seeing this, Zhao Hai’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten up. He felt that the auction wouldn’t be simple. Otherwise, it wouldn’t attract these people to come.

As for Qin Feng, he was in no mood to drink. He was too restless in his seat. His eyes kept looking around, looking very nervous.

Zhao Hai looked at Qin Feng and said, “Brother Qin, there’s no need to be anxious. We won’t be buying anything important. There’s no need to be nervous. When the auction starts, nobody will pay attention to us.”

Hearing Zhao Hai, Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile bitterly. As he looked around, he said, “Seems like the auction this time isn’t a normal yearly auction. Otherwise, there won’t be as many people as today. That person with the blade is called Leng Yue, he’s an expert known in Windrange Town. He is nicknamed Demon Blade. He was born in the external branch of the Leng Family, being one of the least valued descendants. But this didn’t deter him. He was resolute and reached his current Earth Monarch Stage cultivation through hard work. I heard that he’s going to participate in the recruitment of the Forbidden Path Sect. If he joins the sect, the Leng Family would surely suffer.”

Zhao Hai looked at Qin Feng in confusion as he asked, “Why do you say that? Although he’s from an external branch, he’s still a member of the Leng Family. If he joined the sect, wouldn’t he benefit his clan?”

Qin Feng sneered and said, “Leng Yue’s father was a genius of the external branch. But because he offended the family’s direct branch, he died in a suspicious manner. Leng Yue’s mother raised him. But because of what happened to his father, she was treated worse than a slave. When Leng Yue was 16 years old, she fell ill from overwork and died. Leng Yue hated the Leng Family for what they did to his parents. If he enters the Forbidden Path Sect, it would be strange if he didn’t act against the family.”

Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, “I also heard about the Leng Family. They also have a few disciples in the Forbidden Path Sect. It seems like they also have someone in the inner sect. Even if Leng Yue joins, he would still be an outer disciple. It would be difficult for him to take revenge against the Leng Clan.”

Qin Feng nodded, “It is indeed difficult. However, Leng Yue was truly strong. Moreover, do you know what cultivation method he uses?”

Zhao Hai shook his head. Qin Feng smiled and said, “It’s the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique. If he enters the Forbidden Path Sect, he will be directly taken to the inner sect.”

Zhao Hai was shocked. He didn’t expect Leng Yue to practice the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique. This body tempering technique was a famous cultivation method in the True Spirit Realm. Its fame came from its simplicity, and also its difficulty.

There are plenty of body cultivators in the True Spirit Realm. Sects like the Forbidden Path Sect even specialize in body cultivation with the Evil Buddha Lotus Body. Once matured, practitioners of the body cultivation method would have absurd physical bodies comparable to artifacts. They could use their bodies directly as weapons.

The Five Elements Body Tempering Technique was the cheapest cultivation method one could buy in the True Spirit Realm. This doesn’t mean that the technique was weak. The Five Elements Body was very powerful. A matured Five Elements Body could go toe-to-toe against any body cultivation method there was.

However, the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique was just too difficult to practice. The technique was divided into nine levels. The first and second layers were the foundations. Cultivating to this point wasn’t hard. It was just the same as other body cultivation methods where one polishes their physique by attracting spiritual qi.

But upon reaching the third level, the Five Elements Body Tempering Technique becomes difficult. In the third level, one must learn to absorb the wood element to their body. The method to do this was by hitting wood.

To absorb the wood element, the practitioner needs to hit trees. And it wasn’t just with their fists. Cultivators need to hit trees with their entire body. Any part of the body needs to be used. This kind of cultivation must be maintained for many years, thousands of times a year. At least a year was required to reach minor achievement.

The fourth level of the cultivation method was absorbing the water element. The practitioner needs to practice in the cold. They need to stand naked in the winter, attracting cold air into their body. If they could absorb a tank of water per day, then they have reached small achievement.

The fifth level was absorbing the earth element. Like the third level, the practitioner needs to hit rock with their body. The Sixth level was absorbing the fire element. The practitioner needs to endure being on fire for an hour before reaching small achievement. The seventh level was absorbing the metal element. With the help of other people, their body needs to be hit with an iron rod for one year.

The eighth and ninth layer was absorbing the strength of the five elements. Treating their body as a raw ore, they would temper their body to have the strength of the five elements. The pain during this process was beyond one’s imagination. One would need to be insane to undergo such a process.
