How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!-Chapter 424 - 0419: Seeing Through

The Crown Prince of Yan hoped Chen Yu would make a fool of himself in front of Ye Luofeng and also wished that Chen Yu’s Primordial Stones would be quickly depleted.

Lv Tiezu wished to suppress Chen Yu, wanting to make things difficult for him.

The two coincidentally reached an agreement without Chen Yu’s knowledge.

Once Chen Yu took interest in something, Lv Tiezu would immediately drive up the price—even if Lv Tiezu accidentally bought it, the Yan Country would bear forty percent of the cost.

Of course, in the eyes of the Crown Prince of Yan, Chen Yu was impulsive and reckless, fond of competing over momentary bravado. Therefore, generally, Lv Tiezu wouldn’t make any mistakes.

"Cousin, you’re amazing; you’ve really tricked Lv Tiezu this time."

Chen Ying’er’s bell-like voice rang out.

Beside her, Ye Luofeng also revealed a faint smile.

The Crown Prince of Yan’s heart raced as he saw Ye Luofeng’s serene yet stirring smile.

"Don’t get smug, Chen Yu. You’ll see what’s coming next."

The Crown Prince of Yan thought to himself, determined that Lv Tiezu would make Chen Yu lose face in front of Ye Luofeng next.

"The next item up for auction is a set of Cultivation Techniques called ’Green Water Technique,’ suitable for the Qi Transformation Realm and can be cultivated up to the Guiyuan Realm. This technique is significantly stronger than ordinary water attribute techniques and includes several matching combat skills..."

Cultivation Techniques that reached the Guiyuan Realm level were scarce in the Beiyuan Three Kingdoms.

Moreover, this particular technique came with matching water attribute combat skills, instantly elevating its value.

For Chu Country, the use of this technique was not just for individuals but for the entire sect.

For example, at Yunyue Sect, water attribute techniques were rare—if they acquired this technique, many disciples who previously lacked powerful water attribute cultivation methods could train, significantly enhancing Yunyue Sect’s overall strength.

"This technique is suitable for the female disciples of my Water Moon Sect; we must acquire it."

The Water Moon Sect Master’s eyes lit up as if he had been waiting for this technique.

"The starting bid for ’Green Water Technique’ is 10,000 low-grade Primordial Stones, with each increment not less than five hundred!"

The starting price for this technique was exceptionally high.

But this technique was coveted by all the major powers, and its final price would likely be even higher.

"Nine thousand!"

The Water Moon Sect Master immediately called out a bid.

"Ten thousand!"

"Fourteen thousand!"

The Yunyue Sect Master placed a bid.

"Fifteen thousand!"

Another side, Purple Cloud Palace of Qi Country also joined the bidding.

"Twenty-five thousand!"

The Water Moon Sect Master’s resolute voice was heard; she then humbly and politely said, "My fellow sects, our Water Moon Sect primarily practices the Water Path techniques, and this technique is where it can be most impactful with us."

From the perspective of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, this technique indeed held the greatest value at the Water Moon Sect.

"My Yunyue Sect has been lacking water system techniques, leading to many disciples being taken by your Water Moon Sect; this technique is crucial to my Yunyue Sect."

The Yunyue Sect Master chuckled.

First, Yunyue Sect genuinely needed this technique.

Second, obtaining this technique could, to a certain extent, restrict the growth of the Water Moon Sect’s emerging influence.

In the end, the Water Moon Sect bid too high and acquired the ’Green Water Technique’ for 33,000 low-grade Primordial Stones.

In a corner of the auction, Nangong Li, Fang Haofei, and Chen Yu’s senior brother Chang Xuan were among those present.

However, at this level of auction, they could only look on with envy, hardly able to obtain anything.

"A set of Cultivation Techniques for 33,000 low-grade Primordial Stones, they really spared no expense."

"If only I could do that too, tossing around money like that, how carefree that would be."

Fang Haofei fantasized.

"Keep dreaming."

Nangong Li said disdainfully.

Most disciples in the Qi Transformation Realm only had low-quality Primordial Stones at hand.

At this auction, where almost half of the items break through the 10,000 low-grade Primordial Stones threshold—equivalent to one million inferior-quality stones—it was out of their reach.

Beside them, Mu Xueqing watched the woman next to Chen Yu in the VIP seats with a tinge of loss in her heart.

The appearance of the ’Green Water Technique’ pushed the auction to a climax.

The excitement didn’t end there, though.

"The next item is a Beast Feeding Pill of the highest quality. It can greatly affect ancient beasts below the Guiyuan Realm. If the beasts are in the Postnatal Qi Transformation phase, they should submit immediately to you, but its effectiveness greatly diminishes for ancient beasts above the Guiyuan Realm!"

"Highest quality Beast Feeding Pill!"

"It seems to be spoils of war from a powerful individual slaying a strong warrior of the Mantu Tribe."

The emergence of the highest quality Beast Feeding Pill once again set off a commotion among the crowd.

Especially for Beast Tamers, this pill was highly coveted.

With the ability of Beast Tamers and the addition of this pill, there was a certain chance to tame ancient beasts of Guiyuan Realm level.

Additionally, this pill could serve as a trump card against the powerful Mantu Tribe warriors.

The Crown Prince of Yan’s eyes brightened; this highest quality Beast Feeding Pill was precisely what Yan Country needed.

He couldn’t help but puff out his chest, ready to make his impressive move.

"The starting bid is four thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, with each increment not less than two hundred."

As soon as the voice dropped,

"Five thousand!"

"Five thousand five hundred!"

The price soared to nine thousand in no time.

This pill was required not only by Beast Tamers but also by other powerful individuals who could use it to gain a powerful Spirit Pet.

Furthermore, this pill could also be used against the enemy’s Spirit Pets, causing them to defect or lose the ability to fight, ultimately changing the outcome of battles.

"Ten thousand!"

Chen Yu directly raised the bid by a thousand.

Of course, he wasn’t interested in the item; this highest quality Beast Feeding Pill was actually being auctioned on his behalf.

He naturally acted as the shill for himself, increasing the bid to hype up the competitive atmosphere.

However, in Lv Tiezu’s eyes, this signaled something else: Chen Yu needed this highest quality Beast Feeding Pill.

The Crown Prince of Yan’s expression changed as well; he had planned to make a stunning bid later, but he hadn’t expected Chen Yu to participate in the auction.

"Eleven thousand five hundred."

Lv Tiezu suddenly raised the bid.

Though he didn’t highly value the item, he found some use for it, and it wouldn’t be at a loss even if he accidentally acquired it.

"It’s over. If they start competing, the price of this highest quality Beast Feeding Pill will be too high."

The Crown Prince of Yan’s heart sank.

He immediately communicated with Lv Tiezu: "Elder Lu, I need this item. Please don’t compete with Chen Yu."

"Why don’t I bid aggressively, and after winning the item, I, as an elder, will shoulder ten percent of the cost, ultimately giving the item to you?"

Elder Lu did not agree to the Prince of Yan.

He preferred to personally suppress Chen Yu, especially since he had suffered a significant loss during the last dispute over the Blood Tears Flower.

"No need!"

The Prince of Yan frowned.

This was a prime opportunity to show off in front of Miss Ye Luofeng, and he had to be the one to make a move.

Moreover, Elder Lu had only agreed to cover ten percent, which was far too little.

"Alright then!"

Elder Lu could only agree.

He didn’t really need the Beast Feeding Pill, and if he fell out with the Prince of Yan over this, the cost of pressing down on Chen Yu later would be even greater.

"12,000!"

The Prince of Yan’s bid shocked the whole room, drawing everyone’s attention.

He wore a proud expression, with a faint smile on his face, glancing at Miss Ye Luofeng from the corner of his eye, but he noticed that she was not looking at him.

"Brother Chen, I apologize, but before departing, my father specifically instructed me to secure the Beast Feeding Pill."

The Prince of Yan expressed his apologies to Chen Yu.

But in his heart, he thought this was a great opportunity to outshine Chen Yu in front of Miss Ye Luofeng.

"It’s fine."

Chen Yu didn’t mind.

He was just acting as a shill to drive up the price for the Beast Feeding Pills he had consigned for auction.

"12,200."

Chen Yu bid an additional 200, as the price of 12,000 was already close to the Beast Feeding Pill’s value limit.

"12,400!"

"12,600!"

"13,000!"

The Prince of Yan’s booming voice resounded.

"13,300."

The Bone Demon Palace Master placed a bid.

"I’m sorry, but the prince sees this pill as a must-have."

The Prince of Yan said assertively and then bid again, "14,000!"

Others, seeing the Prince of Yan’s lavish spending, gave up on bidding.

"14,200."

The Bone Demon Palace Master did not give up.

The main adversary on the Chu Country Battlefield was the Mantu Tribe, and the Beast Feeding Pill was even more valuable to them.

"14,600!"

The Prince of Yan clenched his teeth and spoke loudly.

He increased the price quickly and without hesitation in front of Miss Ye Luofeng.

In the end, the Beast Feeding Pill was won by the Prince of Yan for the price of 14,600.

"I’m sorry, Brother Chen."

The Prince of Yan showed a victorious smile.

In his view, during this auction, he had successfully outshone Chen Yu in front of Miss Ye Luofeng.

Chen Yu nodded without saying a word.

The Prince of Yan was even happier, thinking that Chen Yu was dejected for losing to him.

But that was not the case.

Chen Yu had just noticed something suspicious. After the Prince of Yan placed his bid, he too had made a bid, and logically, Elder Lu should have immediately competed with him, but he was strangely silent.

This certainly wasn’t because Elder Lu lacked Primordial Stones, nor because he suddenly developed a benevolent heart and chose not to compete against him.

The reason... perhaps it was because of the Prince of Yan.

Because the Prince of Yan was interested in the item, Elder Lu gave it up voluntarily.

"These two have teamed up."

Realizing this, Chen Yu couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.

Initially, he just noticed that the Prince of Yan had a thing for Miss Ye Luofeng and the Fire Scale Beast, but he thought that as a prince, his character wouldn’t be that bad and he even considered befriending him.

Unexpectedly, the Prince of Yan had already reached a tacit agreement with Elder Lu.

Therefore, there was no need to be polite to the Prince of Yan anymore.

Nine rounds later.

"The superior-grade defensive treasure ’White Ice Jade Armor,’ mainly made of ’Cangling Soft Jade’ and combined with White Cold Stone and a few other rare soft minerals, forged into a comfortable soft armor with a slight enhancement to ice attribute techniques!"

"That’s such a beautiful soft armor."

Many women fell in love with the soft armor at first sight.

However, as a top-grade treasure, the soft armor was prohibitively expensive and unaffordable for most.

"Luofeng, you like white; I’ll bid for this soft armor and give it to you!"

Chen Yu’s lips curved into a smile as he suddenly spoke.

Miss Ye Luofeng, who was normally quiet and said little, was suddenly taken aback.

Previously, Chen Yu had always referred to her as Miss Ye, but this time he changed his address. Moreover, he said he would gift her this soft armor.

Miss Ye Luofeng’s eyes slightly glazed over and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened.

The Prince of Yan’s eyes brightened instantly.

"Miss Ye Luofeng likes white color? It does seem so, dressed in that white robe, she looks like a fairy."

The Prince of Yan took a few glances at Miss Ye Luofeng, his mind made up.

Miss Ye Luofeng seemed to like white and appeared to fancy the soft armor; he must win the auction and gift it to her, capturing her heart.

"Top-grade treasure, White Ice Jade Armor, starting bid 6,000, with each increment not less than 200!"

"6,200!"

Chen Yu was the first to bid.

"6,400!"

"6,600!"

…

"8,000!"

The Prince of Yan displayed a confident smile.

"He’s taken the bait."

Chen Yu chuckled inwardly.
