Urban Powerhouse: Chaos Supreme

The scent of mildew swiftly spread, and many of those present felt refreshed and extremely comfortable.

Even they became somewhat immersed in this aroma.

Qi Feng’s eyes, however, flickered with a hint of surprise, ”Could it actually be a Magic Artifact?”

One must know, if one were able to acquire such an item, not only would it promote Martial Arts Cultivation, but it could also make the True Qi within one’s body purer.

Qi Feng’s gaze landed on the figure in the black robe, and he immediately said, ”If I’m not mistaken, this Buddhist statue should be a rather fine Magic Artifact, right?”

The black-robed man merely smiled faintly, ”The gentleman is quite talented, indeed, to recognize at a glance that this item was personally crafted by my master. It possesses miraculous effects, not only beneficial for Martial Cultivators when placed at home, but it also has the miraculous effect of extending the lifespan of ordinary people.”

At this time, Qi Feng gave Hong Gang a smile and said affirmatively,

”Brother Hong, this is a treasure. If you manage to purchase it, it will be a good thing for the entire Hong Family.”

”Perhaps it could even allow your Hong Family to cultivate some Martial Arts talents.”

Upon hearing these words, Hong Gang’s face showed surprise. In recent years, for some reason, the Hong Family had fewer and fewer people who could practice Martial Arts.

For instance, in his daughter’s generation, there was basically no one left who could continue with Martial Arts, not to mention the lack of innate talent, as well as some inexplicable reasons, which made it impossible for them to unblock the governor and conception vessels within their bodies.

Hong Gang took a deep breath to calm himself and then asked the man in the black robe,

”I wonder how much you plan to sell this Buddhist statue for?”

The black-robed man chuckled lightly, his tone leaving no room for doubt, ”I won’t ask for too high a price. Twenty billion will do.”

What... What?

Everyone present was shocked upon hearing this.

Twenty billion? That’s no small sum indeed!!

Though the Hong Family’s assets were over a hundred billion, twenty billion would still be quite a strain for them.

After all, which family or company would have so much liquid capital under normal circumstances?

Hong Gang’s face showed difficulty, but Qi Feng firmly said, ”Rest assured, Brother Hong, you won’t suffer a loss by buying it. In my opinion, it would be a great benefit for the Hong Family.”

Hong De and Hong Rui exchanged glances, a hint of a different expression flitting across their eyes, then also voiced their agreement:

”Master Qi is right, big brother, just spend the twenty billion to acquire it.”

”Yes, Uncle.”

Those present murmured among themselves for a while and also felt it was quite a good deal.

Just as a transaction seemed imminent,

An indifferent voice, quite inappropriately, rang out:

”Twenty billion? In my view, it’s not worth a penny.”

At these words, everyone’s gaze fell on Lin Mo.

There was doubt, disdain, and anger.

The black-robed man frowned deeply, his gaze toward Lin Mo carrying a chill, ”Young man, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense!”

Lin Mo snorted coldly and glanced at him, ”Am I spouting nonsense, or is it you, the mischief-maker, who is speaking recklessly?”

”You!!”

The black-robed man’s complexion darkened to the extreme, ”You scoundrel, you dare to call me a mischief-maker? Are you seeking death?”

Qi Feng also knitted his brows and coldly said,

”Young man, you truly don’t understand. Although he asks for twenty billion, it’s indeed worth that much.”

”You probably have no idea what a Magic Artifact is.”

”I can explain it to you once more; a Magic Artifact is something that only those with supreme Mana can forge.”

”Moreover, a random Magic Artifact is worth more than a hundred million, not to mention the power contained within this one far exceeds normal Magic Artifacts. Thus, even if it’s twenty billion, Brother Hong wouldn’t suffer a loss by buying it.”

”I’d like to know, what makes you so capable as to arrogantly claim that someone’s Magic Artifact is worthless?”

Everyone, hearing this, nodded in agreement.

”Master Qi Feng is right, he really knows what he’s talking about, right on target.”

”I think this young man is just here to cause trouble. If our Hong Family were to purchase this Buddha Magic Artifact, it would be pure fortune for us.”

”I think we should just throw him out, so he stops spouting nonsense here.”

The majority of those present were quite angered. In their eyes, Lin Mo was nothing more than an ignorant young man who understood nothing.

And the man in the black robe curled his lips into a sinister smile, sneering inwardly: ”Heh, with just you, you think you can ruin my plans?”

However, at this moment, Hong Qianqian stood up and said, ”I believe him!”

This took the onlookers aback.

They were all very familiar with Hong Qianqian’s temper; normally, she would have been even more exaggerated in her reaction than the others present.

But now, Hong Qianqian was actually defending this seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy?

Watching the man in the black robe’s smug expression, Lin Mo, with his hands in his pockets, let out a cold laugh,

”Ignorance can be excusable, but your tricks seem like child’s play in my eyes.”

At these words, the man in the black robe’s complexion grew dark: ”Kid, do you not want to walk out of here anymore?”

Lin Mo glanced at him indifferently, and with a cold laugh, said, ”Your Buddha statue is indeed a Magic Artifact, but it contains malevolence. I’m quite curious, what grudge do you bear against the Hong Family?”

At his words, everyone present was taken aback.

As for the man in the black robe, his face grew even colder as he looked directly at Lin Mo, with extreme danger in his eyes:

”Kid, who on earth are you?”

Lin Mo smiled faintly,

”You’re not worthy of knowing.”

At this point, Master Qi scoffed and said,

”That’s quite bold of you, speaking nonsense without understanding a thing. So you claim that this Magic Artifact is now a harmful weapon?”

Hong De and Hong Rui were even angrier:

”Big brother, let’s just kick this brat out!”

”Exactly, he’s taking himself too seriously.”

Hong Gang, however, glared fiercely at the two and said with a slightly angry tone, ”Mr. Lin is my esteemed guest, show some respect!”

Lin Mo gave Master Qi a sideways glance and said calmly, ”If I say it’s a harmful weapon, it’s a harmful weapon. Do you have a problem with that?”

”Alright, alright, alright, if I don’t teach you a lesson, you really won’t learn what it means to respect the heavens and the earth, will you?”

With a cold huff, Master Qi violently slapped the table, then stretched out his hand and flicked toward a nearby pot containing a long-withered orchid from a distance.

Suddenly, an invisible current flowed into the flowerpot.

Before everyone’s eyes, the soil in that flowerpot began to loosen, and not only that, the orchid that had been withered for a long time began to grow slowly, as if revived, flourishing with leaves and branches.

In the blink of an eye, it was as if a decaying tree met the spring, standing tall and elegant.

Everyone at that moment was full of admiration.

”Master Qi truly is a master, able to make a long-wilting flower bloom again with just a raise of his hand.”

Master Qi, with a face full of pride, stared at Lin Mo: ”Kid, see that? What is strength?”

Lin Mo glanced at him,

”You call this a skill? You dare to show this and embarrass yourself?”

As the words fell, Lin Mo pointed at an outside tree that had been dead for years.

In an instant, the long-dead tree grew like a spring bamboo after the rain, and in the blink of an eye, it had become a towering tree.

In that instant, everyone was utterly shocked, including Master Qi, who was staring wide-eyed, seemingly at a loss for words.

Even the most foolish ones could now see that Lin Mo’s capabilities were at least ten times stronger than Master Qi’s.
