Going In For The Auction

The boss, Hua Xinyu received the spatial ring with a warm gaze however out of curiosity, he proceeded to check the contents once more before the final purchase.

Hua Xinyu was surprised and dazed to realize that there was a medicinal container that was starkly different from those of the rest. As soon as he perceived this, he cast a meaningful glance at Lu Xing but the latter feigned ignorance.

With a sigh, Hua Xinyu went ahead to open the medicinal container and he was shocked by the sight. The lingering vitality was so chilling even for a ninth level Orifice Clearing stage practitioner like him.

"These... Lu Xing who planted all these good stuff?" Hua Xinyu asked on a whim as he ruffled around with the herbs.

"This is a perfect Hundred Year Old Blood Spirit Herb, the Azure Demon Glow Lotus has also reached ultimate perfection making the leaves as radiant as starlight and the illusory effect is on a completely new level. The Qi Gathering Herb is just... it's all perfect and each of them sum into a hundred, what a great fortune" Hua Xinyu was still pulsating in vigor before he slowly regained his mercantile demeanor.

"Lu Xing be exact about the genius farmer who was able to achieve this level of perfection in planting these three herbs" Hua Xinyu could not help being overwhelmed in curiosity as he repeated his question.

"Boss Hua, the one who planted the three herbs is one Feng Ling who we sent here a few years back who was just a teenager, he had a problem of being overstressed and would mostly sleep. You should know him to some extent..." Lu Xing nervously replied causing Hua Xinyu to furrow his brows.

"Feng Ling... Feng Ling, is it the youth that Old Master Feng brought before his death for me to take care of?" Hua Xinyu suddenly remembered with shrunken eyes staring at Lu Xing.

"Yes, Boss Hua, he is indeed Old Master Feng's most laziest but youngest grandson and he was only a third level Body Tempering stage practitioner back then" Lu Xing responded with a fervent nod while he remained respectful.

"Aw! But how can such a lazy kid and with such weak cultivation that has long stagnated suddenly come up with these huge harvest, there must be a story behind this right" Hua Xinyu got even more inquisitive at the mystery that Lu Xing was pulling in.

"Three days ago, he was still the weak third stage Body Tempering practitioner just as he had been all this while. But when I arrived today, even I was pressured by his aura because he had reached... the eighth stage of Body Tempering in just three days!" Lu Xing recalled with a sigh.

"What are you insinuating Lu Xing? How on earth does one cross five realms of Body Tempering Realm so easily like sleep. Not even the Divine Wind Emperor or the emperor before him was capable of such godly feat. The highest odds involved that it would take three months or half a year at most" Hua Xinyu was being rational as he doubted.

"It really is the truth and as for the spiritual herbs, even I am in the dark concerning this matter" Lu Xing was getting more nervous as he believed that even if he was in Hua Xinyu's shoes he might probably do such as it was simply impossible to believe without witnessing it.

"Alright, call the brat over..." Hua Xinyu ordered Lu Xing who immediately and obediently left. After a period of waiting, Ling Feng eventually appears together with Lu Xing who later gives the two some privacy.

"Nice to meet you boss Hua!, Mister Lu Xing said you called for me" Ling Feng greeted with clasped fingers and a slight bow as he could feel the pressure of a ninth stage Orifice Clearing cultivation emanated from the latter and also Hua Xinyu was quite an elderly person compared to Lu Xing who was only a little less than thirty.

"It's nice to meet you again Young Master Feng, I hope you are not so grieved for your grandfather's death after all these years... Let's get straight to the point, these plants are definitely in the most abnormal state imaginable if they reached this level under your care in just three days" Hua Xinyu's eyes revealed a sharp glint that was focused on Ling Feng and released waves of spiritual power against the latter.

Ling Feng wore a smile as he could not feel too much pressure against someone who wasn't even a Profound Realm cultivator yet.

"Boss Hua, the truth is that all these events happened when I fell asleep, literally I felt it was in my dream but I don't understand the whole event entirely. I obtained a fortuitous encounter in my dream while I laid exhausted two days ago. And at the time I awoke, my body was brimming with such level of spirit qi that even the surroundings were affected by my vitality and had these odd development.

My cultivation also increased greatly after I consumed a powerful spiritual fruit in my dream" Ling Feng repeated his made-up story which still revealed doubt in Hua Xinyu's eyes but the latter chose to believe temporarily all though the story had loopholes.

"I see, most people are born with such periodical luck like the one you've gained and I'm happy for you on that. If I may ask, do you wish to come along to the auction and see how high-priced these herbs are for the outside market, I'll promise you forty percent of whatever comes out of it and while our merchant group would have the remaining sixty percent, how fair would that be?" Hua Xinyu replied while wearing a warm smile on his face as he reached for his teacup with a demeanor of a respectable business man.

"I accept your fairest conditions, Boss Hua" Ling Feng wore a slight bow towards Hua Xinyu but his tone remained normal and not as fervent as most first timers or teenagers would sound...he was completely calm.

Hua Xinyu was impressed by this attribute and nodded as he suddenly remembered his friend's (Old Master Feng's) dying wish but he made up his mind about it to deal with it sometime later.

"That's great, so get prepared we would be leaving anytime soon, call in Lu Xing when you are out..." Hua Xinyu buzzed as Ling Feng was about going out.
