Extreme Almightiest Young Master-Chapter 2028 - 2010: It’s Settled Then
"Let me think about this..." Elder Wu paused after hearing Fang Yan’s words, speaking with difficulty. If it were other items, a regular auction would suffice, but with the liquefied spiritual energy from these ten Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes, an ordinary auction might not achieve good results...
After pondering for quite a while, Elder Wu finally spoke: "Young man, I think these ten Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes should be divided into four groups for auction. Three in each group and one individually. Start by auctioning off one to let the other party see its effects, then auction the other three groups. After all, many people are skeptical about this liquefied spiritual energy."
Fang Yan listened to Elder Wu’s suggestion, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement. This approach could indeed maximize profits, so he replied, "That sounds good. As for the starting price, I think two million Spirit Stones for each, what do you think?"
"It’s better to start the first one at one million Spirit Stones since people will want to test its effects. The remaining three groups should start at five million Spirit Stones each. I estimate each group will bid over ten million." Elder Wu gave his proposal while looking at Fang Yan.
"Let’s go with that." Fang Yan responded promptly after hearing Elder Wu’s suggestion. It seemed very reasonable.
With that, the two confirmed the auction details. But just after discussing these, Elder Wu looked at Fang Yan, pondered briefly, and asked, "Young man, can you tell me why you need so many Spirit Stones? The auction of these items will yield astronomical sums. Such an amount of Spirit Stones in hand is practically useless..."
"Actually, I came to the auction to acquire many items." Fang Yan replied jovially to Elder Wu. If it weren’t for wanting to purchase certain items, he wouldn’t have brought out such valuable things.
"I understand now; this is the VIP card of our auction house. Keep it well. With this card, you can settle the payments after the auction ends. When you come to the auction tomorrow, you will also have a VIP room, so others won’t discern your identity, offering you protection." Hearing Fang Yan’s explanation, Elder Wu responded with a smile, handing Fang Yan a gleaming gold card, the only assistance he could offer Fang Yan.
He now regarded Fang Yan as a true super user, able to produce such treasures at will. Fang Yan surely had other treasures, but Elder Wu dared not harbor any other thoughts. He could see that the old man accompanying Fang Yan was definitely a Super Powerhouse. Without such a bodyguard, how could Fang Yan auction these treasures?
"Thank you, Elder Wu." Fang Yan accepted the card with a smile, satisfied with the conversations with Elder Wu.
"I should be the one thanking you," Elder Wu shook his head and said, then swiftly wrote the auction voucher himself. After preparing everything, he told Fang Yan, "Rest assured, only my disciple and I know about this matter. After the auction ends, come to settle with this receipt, and I’ll inform the relevant personnel."
"Then we’ll take our leave." Fang Yan nodded in satisfaction, immediately turning and leaving the auction house with Li Xing.
As they walked along the road, Li Xing recalled the previous events as if in a dream. He still couldn’t imagine it was all real: ten Heavenly Grade Elixirs and ten Heavenly Origin Treasure Boxes filled with liquefied spiritual energy. The thought left him speechless! Looking at Fang Yan, he didn’t know how to describe his envy for Fang Yan.
But as they walked, Li Xing suddenly thought of a question and asked, "Fang Yan, I suddenly realized if those items fall into the other party’s hands, won’t they enhance their strength? Wouldn’t it be wrong to act this way?"
Li Xing looked at Fang Yan, seriously inquiring. Those Heavenly Grade Elixirs and liquefied spiritual energy were extraordinary items. If the other party obtained and quickly used them, it would undoubtedly increase the difficulty of their expedition. What would they do if they couldn’t complete the mission?
Hearing Li Xing’s concern, Fang Yan chuckled and said, "Do you think those who get the Heavenly Grade Elixirs and liquefied spiritual energy will use them so quickly? They’ll definitely be kept as treasures of the Sect, used when needed. So, by then, we can just steal them back; there’s no need to worry about that because I placed a Soul Imprint on those items. If I want, I can always track them down."
"Even in the worst-case scenario, if they use them all, it would still be beneficial to us. When facing the expedition force later, these Sects would give the Holy Soul Sect a tough time, increasing their pressure. If things get serious and the three Earth Immortals of the Holy Soul Sect are eliminated, that would be ideal, wouldn’t you agree?"
Looking at Li Xing, Fang Yan laid out his plan completely. Truth be told, when he put out these treasures, that was his intention. Whether used or not, it only benefited them. Without these treasures, how could he present so many? Even if he needed Spirit Stones, bringing out half of them would suffice.
After hearing Fang Yan’s words, Li Xing’s body trembled. Only then did he understand Fang Yan’s plan. If things proceeded as Fang Yan said, then everything would indeed be fine. Looking at Fang Yan, he couldn’t help but praise, "High, this plan is truly high-minded. I didn’t expect you to have such a strategy."
"It’s nothing, just because you didn’t think of the key point." Fang Yan continued to Li Xing, "Moreover, I deduce that the chances of the other party using these things are higher. Don’t forget, almost the entire Wantian Continent knows about our expedition. Under pressure, it’s unfathomable for their top experts not to enhance their strength. I’m very curious to see how many of the three Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses of the Holy Soul Sect can be taken down."
"You..." Li Xing was left speechless, utterly taken aback by Fang Yan’s comprehensive strategy, one step looping into another. Such a strategic mind at his age was terrifyingly impressive.
"Senior Brother, let’s not dwell on these matters. The expedition forces from all sides will arrive in two days. Before they get here, let’s go kill a few people." After saying this, Fang Yan didn’t wait for Li Xing’s response and grabbed his hand. Suddenly, the two vanished from sight.
About an hour later, Fang Yan and Li Xing appeared in the sky tens of thousands of miles away. Fang Yan said to Li Xing, "This time, the expedition forces are different from before. Now, the Holy Soul Sect and the three major sects have not dispersed. Instead, they formed four teams, each with two Earth Immortal Realm powerhouses, so we can adjust our plans against them."
"How to adjust?" Li Xing was stunned upon hearing Fang Yan’s words and asked quickly. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. If it were as Fang Yan described, assassinating discreetly became quite challenging.
"It’s quite simple. We can take advantage of the other party’s expedition against the sects, disguise ourselves as sect disciples, and strike secretly. With my Divine Sense, we can cover our actions. We don’t need to kill many each time, just a few, and then hide immediately." Fang Yan provided his answer. Acting amid chaos was relatively easy, and they both could transform into others, allowing them to blend in as sect disciples and secretly assassinate those who had entered the Immortal Realm.
"Alright, let’s do it!" Li Xing’s eyes lit up after hearing Fang Yan’s plan. He clearly understood Fang Yan’s purpose for safety, thinking that the plan was brilliant and perfect!
Fang Yan nodded, immediately taking Li Xing to the nearest sect. With his Divine Sense already locked onto that place, it was the middle-order Divine Wind Sect, and according to the Holy Soul Sect’s expedition force, it would take them less than an hour to reach that sect.
The two moved and vanished from where they stood. When Li Xing woke up again, he found they were near the Divine Wind Sect.
"Let’s go inside, kill two disciples, and disguise ourselves first." Fang Yan said to Li Xing with a smile. Without waiting for Li Xing’s response, he led Li Xing to the mountains behind the Divine Wind Sect, where he found an extremely hidden cave.
Looking at this cave, Li Xing was unaware of Fang Yan’s intention. How could he suspect that Fang Yan was preparing a retreat, knowing the Holy Soul Sect’s expedition included three Earth Immortal realm powerhouses? He was unwilling to expose himself in front of everyone just yet.
After setting up a formation, Fang Yan transformed his appearance with Li Xing, mixing with the disciples of the Divine Wind Sect, awaiting the arrival of the expedition force.
About an hour later, the people from the Holy Soul Sect finally arrived. After some negotiations, the patriarch of the Divine Wind Sect appeared, leading others to a bloody battle against the Holy Soul Sect. By now, the Holy Soul Sect was well-acquainted with this kind of scenario and didn’t hesitate to start the fight.
Seeing that the Divine Wind Sect only had one Earth Immortal Realm patriarch in the early stages, neither the Great Elder nor the two Supreme Elders were inclined to intervene, leaving the Holy Soul Sect members to act freely. There was no need for the Great Elder and the two Supreme Elders to step in.
Little did they know, Fang Yan and Li Xing had disguised themselves as disciples of the Divine Wind Sect, engaging with the disciples of the Holy Soul Sect. Fang Yan and Li Xing had communicated with their Divine Sense and finalized their battle strategy. After merely a short tea-time, when the Holy Soul Sect disciples and the Divine Wind Sect disciples were fervently fighting without any defense, Fang Yan and Li Xing made their move.
