Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Liu Jie saw Ye Ling challenging him and gave a cold laugh, but said nothing more.

Ye Ling patted Mo Xing on the shoulder and whispered, "Don't say I don't look out for you—if you get this jade pendant, there's definitely a surprise beyond your wildest imagination."

"Really? How much should I bid for it?" Mo Xing's eyes lit up as he immediately said with joy.

Ye Ling rolled his eyes. If True Cultivators heard this, they'd probably smack you with a slipper—dude, this is a Spiritual Artifact, can you even put a price on it with money?

Take myself as an example; if a tycoon offered me a billion to make a Spiritual Artifact for him, would I do it?

The answer is definitely yes. Why? Because I'm short on cash, I need to aim for a comfortable life, save some private money!

Of course, the price of a Spiritual Artifact is absolutely above one hundred million, no doubt about it, and you could even say it's priceless.

"If you can buy it for under one billion, if you feel it's not worth it, feel free to come and slap my face anytime," Ye Ling said, clearly irritated.

What's wrong with you, I give you an opportunity and you don't even cherish it. If it wasn't because you just stood up for me, sir, I wouldn't bother with you so much.

Mo Xing was instantly ecstatic, nodding repeatedly, in his view Ye Ling wouldn't deceive him, after all, he had the Huamei Group's behemoth at his back.

"The jade pendant donated by Mr. Liu Jie starts at 600,000, with each bid increment no less than 10,000," the auctioneer said into the microphone, continuously building the momentum.

"630,000!"

"I'll take it for 650,000!"

"Damn, you're only bidding 650,000 for Mr. Liu's item? I bid 700,000!"

Liu Jie watched the increasingly enthusiastic crowd and smirked coldly, you see, this is my influence, a mere jade pendant and it's already been bid up to nearly a million.

Of course, if he knew that what he was selling was a Spiritual Artifact, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Tsk tsk, it's rare for Liu Jie to part with his money, so naturally, I have to be generous in my support. I bid one million; none of you compete with me now, or I'll get angry with you guys!" Mo Xing stood up and said with a laugh.

Everybody laughed, knowing Mo Xing was joking, but even so, no one else bid, as they didn't want to offend him.

And looking at the jade pendant, it didn't seem to be made of any precious jade, so there was no need to spend so much money just to flatter Liu Jie.

Liu Jie looked at Mo Xing, was about to speak, when Mo Xing pointed at him and said, "Liu Jie, me buying your stuff is a favor to you. If you really bid higher, even if it's just one dollar more, sir, I absolutely won't want it."

Mo Xing struggled internally as he spoke, goddamn it, please don't bid, let me spend less money.

After contemplating, Liu Jie decided not to bid any higher, knowing the jade pendant wasn't made of any good material; it wasn't worth buying it back for a million.

In the end, Mo Xing bought the jade pendant for one million. He excitedly put it on his neck and was instantly struck by how cool and comfortable it felt!

"Don't worry, go tell your old man that you spent a million on a Spiritual Artifact, and see how he praises you," Ye Ling patted Mo Xing's shoulder and said.

Someone like Mo Zidao in such a high position surely knew the importance of Spiritual Artifacts, and they must also be aware of the existence of True Cultivators. After all, at their level, they have access to many secrets.

Mo Xing nodded, then suddenly his eyes widened, "You're saying this is a Spiritual Artifact?"

"No kidding, what, you know about Spiritual Artifacts?" Ye Ling was taken aback. Could this good-for-nothing actually know about Spiritual Artifacts?

Mo Xing burst into loud laughter, drawing many puzzled glances. Had the famed young master of Donghai City gone mad?

Mo Xing's mouth was agape with excitement—he understood this was a Spiritual Artifact. Today, he had absolutely found a fantastic bargain.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the sound of that laughter, Liu Jie's heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself that maybe the jade pendant he had offered was indeed something precious.

Remembering the serious expression on his father's face when he had hung the jade pendant around his neck, Liu Jie grew even more uneasy.

"That Ye Ling, you've auctioned off all your items, what about your treasure? But I suspect if your treasure can't fetch more than a million, you might just have disgraced Miss Shen completely," Liu Jie taunted.

Ye Ling curled his lip and muttered a curse, then stood up, took out a yellow talisman paper from his pocket.

"This talisman is called the Primordial Chaos Talisman. It can save your life. The starting bid is ten million. Go on and bid," Ye Ling said, handing it to a nearby waiter.

Liu Jie was stunned and then burst into raucous laughter. He pointed to the surprised crowd and said, "Ye Ling, are you a charlatan now? A Primordial Chaos Talisman that can save a life?"

"Do you really think they would believe that? A piece of paper saves lives? Have you been reading too many novels?" Liu Jie laughed so hard he almost cried.

This guy's really funny, has he gotten stupid from fighting with me?

Ye Ling sneered disdainfully and stepped onto the stage. He took the talisman and pasted it to his body, then walked over to Shen Yuexin's bodyguard, took a gun from him, and aimed it at his own head.

The crowd gasped, covering their eyes with their hands. Was this guy insane? Was he attempting suicide?

Even Mo Xing was shouting, but Shen Yuexin maintained a calm and wry expression. She had no doubts about the effects of the talisman.

A talisman made by someone at the Foundation Establishment Stage could easily save an ordinary person's life. It was nothing extraordinary.

"Liu Jie, open your damn eyes and watch closely," Ye Ling said as his finger lightly pressed the trigger.

With a loud bang, smoke drifted from the muzzle of the gun. All the women were terrified, covering their eyes, but the men in the room were dumbfounded.

In their eyes, as the bullet fired toward Ye Ling, it was astonishingly blocked by a faint glow of light just before reaching him—a light that, to their amazement, emanated from the talisman.

"This talisman not only blocks bullets, but it can also protect against car accidents. However, it can only save you once," Ye Ling said, tossing the gun back to the bodyguard and walked off the stage.

The room buzzed, and everyone's eyes lit up with desire. The more life meant to them at their level of wealth, the more precious such a magical and powerful talisman seemed. The price tag of ten million seemed like a bargain.

"I bid fifteen million! I will have this Primordial Chaos Talisman!"

"Twenty million here. I won't back down today, no matter who it is!"

"Twenty-two million, the Primordial Chaos Talisman is mine!"

The whole hall was ablaze with fervor. Liu Jie was stupefied, his eyes glazing over in disbelief. Did the talisman really have such incredible power?

"Liu… Young Master Liu, can we bid?" the young gents behind Liu Jie asked, faces twisted in bitter smiles.

It was a classic case of lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot. Liu Jie's head buzzed with confusion—he had really outdone himself this time, losing both his wife and his soldiers.

At that moment, Ye Ling walked up to Liu Jie, leaned in close to his ear, and whispered, "Actually, that jade pendant of yours is worth far more than this Primordial Chaos Talisman."

Pfft, upon hearing this, Liu Jie spat out a mouthful of blood and nearly collapsed to the floor.

"Ye Ling! I haven't finished with you!" Liu Jie roared fiercely.

Ye Ling just gave a dismissive smile, not even deigning to glance at Liu Jie—a guy not worth his attention, especially since he wouldn't be able to cause trouble for much longer.
