The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 2349: Chapter 2323: Green Lotus Demon Fire! (Five Updates)

At the Tianchen Auction, Huang Wenxin announced with a smile, ”If there are no further bids, this Spirit Origin Pill will go to this young master.”

This young master, naturally, was Ye Chen. The Spirit Origin Pill was a Half-step Void Level pill containing incredibly pure spiritual energy and could almost side-effect-free enhance the level of cultivation of a Sealed Gate martial artist, making it an extremely useful treasure for everyone present!

But in the end, it was Ye Chen who secured it!

Many people looked at Ye Chen with eyes filled with both fury and awe, and at the same time, deep shock!

By now, Ye Chen had tallied eight treasures alone—a spending spree of tens of millions of Divine Cloud Stones! Just how wealthy was this guy?

Yet, Ye Chen appeared nonchalant as ever.

Huang Wenxin coughed and said, ”Next, we come to the final three treasures of our auction. Ladies and gentlemen, please be prepared!”

Many in the crowd perked up, their expressions lifted. They had not acquired anything thus far, and now, surely the opportunity had come to them, right? Ye Chen, wealthy though he may be, must have reached his limit by now, right?

Observing the eager gazes of the crowd, the cheongsam-clad girl promptly lifted the white cloth, and in an instant, the gathering felt a burst of light shine forth, accompanied by a wave of heat!

Huang Wenxin said, ”This item is the Spirit Nourishing Pearl, capable of increasing one’s strength in corresponding attributes. This particular Spirit Nourishing Pearl is a Supreme Treasure for those who practice fire-type cultivation methods! The starting bid is five million Divine Cloud Stones!”

Both Ye Chen and Li Yanxi’s eyes sparkled upon seeing this Spirit Nourishing Pearl!

For Ye Chen, he needed to enhance his fire-type attributes to refine the Flame Tablet!

Li Yanxi immediately shouted, ”Ten million!”

The others, who had been ready to bid, hesitated at Li Yanxi’s voice, their gazes turned sharp, and then chose to remain silent.

These individuals, being top-tier celebrities, were already familiar with Li Yanxi, having attended many top-tier auctions with her.

As the young lady of the Donglin Li Family, Li Yanxi might seem careless on the outside but was intensely competitive at heart!

Li Yanxi was exceedingly selective, rarely bidding on items she deemed unworthy. However, once she set her sight on something, she was determined to acquire it no matter what!

Thus, they all considered it a given that the Spirit Nourishing Pearl would be won by Li Yanxi. Why bid and potentially offend the young miss of the Li family for no gain?

Seeing the crowd’s silence, Huang Wenxin wore a smile. After all, the Donglin Li Family had certain connections with the Tianchen Auction, and Huang Wenxin, who liaised with the Li family, had met Li Yanxi when she was very young and felt a certain affinity for her.

He knew that Li Yanxi practiced a martial arts called the Phoenix Dance Sword, originating from the Divine Kingdom, and her weapon was a top-tier fire-type True Divine Artifact. If she could integrate the Spirit Nourishing Pearl into it, it could potentially undergo a breakthrough to become a Half-step Sacred Weapon!

If that happened, Li Yanxi’s strength could increase by at least twenty percent!

But at this moment, Ye Chen spoke up again.

”Fifteen million.”

Ye Chen didn’t double the bid directly, firstly because he still aimed to compete for the remaining two treasures, and secondly because his impression of Li Yanxi was quite favorable, and there was no need to be utterly ruthless.

Li Yanxi frowned but immediately countered, ”Sixteen million!”

”Seventeen million.”

”Eighteen million!”

”Twenty million.”

Ye Chen’s bid reached twenty million, and Li Yanxi started to feel nervous, the Spirit Nourishing Pearl was truly important to her!

Even Huang Wenxin frowned, feeling that Ye Chen was going a bit too far.

Showing no mercy.

And not even affording face to the Donglin Li Family, one of the most top-tier powers on the Lingwu Continent!

Li Yanxi looked at Ye Chen beside her, a faint plea emerging in her beautiful eyes. This was the first time in her life she had ever made such a request to someone!

Li Yanxi then spoke, unable to help herself, ”Ye Chen, this Spirit Nourishing Pearl is very important to me! I hope you can let me have it...”

After that, she raised her bid, ”Twenty-five million!”

Onlookers were really taken aback by Li Yanxi’s demeanor...

If Xiang Yang’s concession to Ye Chen carried a threat, Li Yanxi’s was a true plea...

This young woman, who had always been seen as unapproachable in everyone’s eyes, the daughter of the number one family, was actually asking someone for a favor...

The bid had broken through twenty million! Among those present, aside from Li Yanxi, no one could come up with that sum! And this number was also Li Yanxi’s limit!

At this moment, Xiang Yang’s expression changed as he said, ”Yanxi, I have another ten million here for you...”

However, Li Yanxi shook her head, ”No need.”

She has always disliked borrowing things from others.

”I’m sorry,” Ye Chen apologized, shrugging helplessly, ”It’s very important to me too.”

If it had been any other treasure, he might have been willing to compromise, but the Spirit Nourishing Pearl was crucial for improving the grade of his Mystic Flames.

”Twenty-six million!”

As soon as Ye Chen announced this bid, the auction house fell into real silence! Could Ye Chen really still afford twenty-six million? How much had he already spent?

This was treating money like it was nothing!

Ordinarily, they were the ones flaunting their wealth in front of others, but now, for the first time in their lives, these distinguished guests and scions felt they had been struck! They were overwhelmed by Ye Chen’s show of wealth!

Compared to Ye Chen, their past attempts at showing off were nothing!

In the end, the Spirit Nourishing Pearl still landed in Ye Chen’s hands.

Li Yanxi’s brows were furrowed tightly. She possessed extraordinary martial arts talent and was born into the most powerful family on the Lingwu Continent. Her life had always been smooth sailing; she had never experienced feelings like this before, and her beautiful eyes showed deep disappointment and regret.

But all of a sudden, Li Yanxi’s expression changed, and her brows smoothed out again.

Because she noticed something.

She noticed the way people looked at Ye Chen.

...

The next two items were up for bid. One was the Heavenly Soul Fruit, capable of enhancing the divine soul strength of its user, which Ye Chen acquired for nineteen million!

This was the result of some top-tier young masters banding together because they simply couldn’t stand it any longer, but even collectively, their funds did not match Ye Chen!

The final showstopper item was the uncontrollable Green Lotus Demon Fire!

Not only on the Lingwu Mainland, but even in the Divine Kingdom, this was a cherished existence!

For those engaged in internal fire cultivation, it was the Supreme Treasure!

Moreover, its purity was alarmingly high!

When the Green Lotus Demon Fire became available, everyone at the venue went completely mad!

Numerous families and talents, virtually everyone in the auction house, were banded together to bid for the Green Lotus Demon Fire; even a mere whiff of it would be enough!

But what nobody had expected was that, even so, Ye Chen secured the Green Lotus Demon Fire with a bid of forty-two million, practically at a sky-high price!
