Chapter 793 - Chapter 793 Chapter 793 Earned Too Much

Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Earned Too Much Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Earned Too Much Huang Fu Wuxia didn’t want to notify Master Ju precisely because of his extremely high status in the Cultivation World.

The Four Great Sects were already akin to four titans, and Master Ju himself had Golden Core Cultivation and was one of Taiqing Sect’s “Three Masters”, a status only second to the Taiqing Sect’s head.

With such a high-profile figure attending the auction, who would dare to compete with him? Even if the Huang Fu Clan’s patriarch were present and saw Master Ju make a bid, they wouldn’t possibly raise their own.

In fact, in this realm, once a Master gets involved in an auction, it generally signifies a resolute intention to win the item, and in most cases, for a Master to attend an auction is somewhat beneath their dignity.

Which Master doesn’t have several followers who are Innate Experts at their disposal to do the running?

Huang Fu Wuxia made the suggestion from a professional standpoint; she believed that even if Master Ju were notified, he might not attend, and if he did, Xiangsi Duke definitely couldn’t fetch a high price.

The auction wasn’t merely about the interests of the item’s owner; the Tiantong Commercial Alliance, the organizer, also had a stake in it.

Her reasoning was very professional, and Feng Jun wouldn’t possibly disregard it, even the ecstasy he had just felt from obtaining Xiangsi Duke was diminished–his own side is still not strong enough; during the auction, they still need to avoid the big shots.

Honestly speaking, the results of this third treasure-hunt had gotten him a bit hot-headed, and even a hint of temptation arose in his heart to change his initial intention: if treasure-hunting is so profitable, why not continue?

—-After all, I have been very cautious in protecting myself while treasure-hunting.

With such explanations from Huang Fu Wuxia, he finally faced reality: If just one word from within the Four Great Sects can make the unruly her feel apprehensive, on what grounds can I recklessly be high-profile?

It seems that things have been going a bit too smoothly lately, and I have become complacent. Hmm, I must remember… it’s the covert and steady development that truly rules.

This cold splash of reality from Huang Fu Wuxia not only sobered up Feng Jun but also Jing Qingyang.

Were the suggestions I made that unreliable? Embarrassment heated the face of the employed Innate Expert: It seems that in the Immortal Market, one really can’t speak carelessly; my understanding is indeed too superficial.

However, Feng Jun didn’t blame him but smiled and glanced at him, “Next time you have an idea, you guys should discuss it amongst yourselves first.”

After all, there must be someone who dares to speak up among his subordinates.

In any case, today’s treasure-hunt was joyous for everyone, with everyone at the scene beaming with happiness.

The first thing Feng Jun took care of were the two artisans; he asked how their wages were calculated, and Chairman Huang Fu gestured dismissively, indicating that since you’re entrusting it to our Tiantong Auction, we’ll cover those expenses, so you don’t have to worry about it.

However, one artisan plucked up the courage to say, “I would like to request a cup of Xiangsi Duke’s brewed wine to taste; I hope Boss Feng will forgive my boldness.”

Upon hearing this, Sage Xu couldn’t help but step forward and said that brewing with Xiangsi Duke is actually very quick. We could also use this opportunity to test just how good this Magical Treasure really is.

Only after inquiring did Feng Jun learn that this object could brew wine but could also optimize Spiritual Wine. After all, it was a small vessel, not higher than forty centimeters, with a diameter of only about forty centimeters, capable of brewing only seventy to eighty jin of wine at a time.

If it were optimizing other Spiritual Wines, the process would be much faster, producing wine in three days.

Of course, if one really couldn’t wait, it could produce wine in half a day, but the optimization effect wouldn’t be as good then.

Sage Xu even volunteered eagerly, saying “I’ll supply the Spiritual Wine, and I’ll take care of the optimization process. After three days, when I bring out the wine, I don’t ask for much–half of the optimized Spiritual Wine is sufficient for me.”

Feng Jun smiled at him but didn’t make a statement, instead, turning his head to look at Huang Fu Wuxia.

Chairman Huang Fu was also troubled in her heart; Feng Jun had found three treasures on his adventure, and she had already claimed two. If she took this one as well, it would be somewhat inappropriate.

She could follow the method used for dealing with the Aquatic Sandalwood Spikenard, first giving Feng Jun a floor price of two hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and then settling the difference after the auction.

But even so, it couldn’t mask a fact: all three treasures had ended up in her hands.

For someone like Feng Jun, who has a strong desire for independence, this was not a pleasant experience.

And Huang Fu Wuxia really didn’t want him to misunderstand further–the scope for future cooperation between them was boundless; why should she appear so aggressive?

So she answered with a smile, “Let’s wait a bit longer on this, in a couple of days, I will first work out a deal with the people from Wuyou Platform.”

Deal with one thing at a time, that had always been the right choice.

But this left Sage Xu in a dilemma; he truly coveted the wine brewed by Xiangsi Duke.

So he had no choice but to find Huang Fu Wuxia and ask if he could help Feng Jun with the brewing?

He was an Intermediate Level Innate Expert, while Chairman Huang Fu was only Mid-stage Qi Refining. However, very unfortunately for him, he was only a Guest Elder, while Huang Fu Wuxia was a member of the Tiantong system with her own situation to manage…

Cultivation level is indeed very important, but sometimes, cultivation does not represent everything.

Huang Fu Flawless shared his analysis with him and explicitly stated, “I don’t want your actions to create misunderstandings for Feng Jun.”

Being an Intermediate Level ascetic who has mixed in like this really is a bit… whatever.

However, Priest Xu didn’t mind at all. After understanding Chairman Huang Fu’s intentions, he still sought out Feng Jun.

He said, “I’ll take responsibility for finding a way to optimize the Spiritual Wine with the Acacia Lord, and I can provide you with a hundred catties of wine. After you successfully optimize it, just give me fifty catties back. How does that sound?”

Feng Jun didn’t haggle with him. He simply stated, “I can’t guarantee how much wine I’ll give you. You just give me a hundred catties of wine, and after the optimization, half of it will be yours–I don’t know how much loss there will be.”

In fact, Feng Jun also wanted to get his hands on some of this Spiritual Wine. He was definitely going to sell the Acacia Lord–during the sleazy developmental stage, he had to try every means to expand and grow, it wasn’t possible to leave such a valuable treasure idle.

But when he was free, he also enjoyed drinking a few sips, and the sleazy development didn’t mean he lacked social interactions. In certain situations, this kind of thing could indeed significantly raise one’s status.

He believed it was necessary to store some wine, and by not handing over the Acacia Lord before the auction, he would have time to brew a batch of wine.

Of course, the method for brewing the wine would have to rely on Priest Xu sending the instructions.

That night, Feng Jun’s camp was bustling with excitement, and everyone was overjoyed.

The happiest was Shangguan Yunjin. She had invested a hundred Spirit Stones and according to the proportion, she earned a full twenty thousand Spirit Stones–Feng Jun’s third lucky find cost him a thousand Spirit Stones and he gained at least two hundred thousand from it.

She earned the Spirit Stones with such ease that it scared her. One must know that her initial hundred Spirit Stones came from Feng Jun’s rewards, which was essentially the same as receiving twenty thousand out of thin air.

So she took the initiative to say, “I don’t need twenty thousand. Just give me two thousand. During the third lucky find, Divine Doctor, your appraisal skills were the most crucial. In fact, Chairman Huang Fu played a bigger role than I did.”

Indeed, she was very clear in her mind that all of these things should be included in the cost. Moreover, she was certain that under the circumstances at that time, if the planning had been even slightly worse, it would have been impossible to get the Acacia Lord from that troublesome vendor.

If it had been her, even as a disciple of the Wuyou Platform, under those circumstances, it would have been very difficult to take away the Acacia Lord.

The subsequent stripping process was the same. Without Feng Jun’s guidance and the astonishingly skilled artisans from Tiantong, the probability of accidents happening was also high.

She believed that the ability to handle these unexpected situations should be included in the costs. Therefore, she stated, “I would be very satisfied to take away two thousand Spirit Stones.”

Feng Jun was quite pleased with her attitude. In fact, deep down, he felt that he should not give her so many Spirit Stones–planning and exertion were things you didn’t worry about, and then you get to enjoy a proportional share of the profits, which really seemed unfair.

But they all had an agreement beforehand, and he stepped in later. No one could have anticipated encountering such a complicated situation.

It’s just that as someone who values integrity, he wouldn’t feel comfortable reneging on his word.

Hearing her take the initiative to ask for that amount, he looked around and spoke in a serious tone, “Two thousand… that’s a bit too little. Let’s make it five thousand. Just consider that this afternoon, we traded and brought back a treasure worth fifty thousand Spirit Stones. What do you all think?”

What did they think? Everyone was very satisfied. To be honest, this two hundred times return on investment ratio made all the investors a bit jittery. Everyone likes Spirit Stones, but earning Spirit Stones this way… felt truly unstable in their hearts.

Among those who had come with Feng Jun, Shangguan Yunjin had the highest cultivation level. She was already scared like this, not to mention the others.

Take Chen Junsheng as an example. He only had ten Spirit Stones, still recorded under Feng Jun’s account, which turned into two thousand in a single day. Forget that he is now at the fourth layer of Mortal Shedding– even if he regained his Innate Cultivation, would he dare to walk around the Cultivation World with two thousand Spirit Stones?

He felt even five hundred Spirit Stones were dangerous and said, “I think what the Venerable Shangguan says is right, twenty times is good. Five hundred Spirit Stones could be enough to kill a person… If I never enter Qi Refinement in this lifetime, Divine Doctor, I won’t need those three hundred.”

Yu Changzhu looked at him oddly, “You could keep them for your clan members.”

“Psh, keep them for them?” Chen Junsheng laughed dismissively. “Two hundred Spirit Stones are plenty for me to spend. The rest can be left to them. Keeping too much is just inviting trouble for my clan… Little Yu, you’ll understand this in the future.”

Yu Changzhu was still counting on her twenty Spirit Stones turning into four thousand.

Seeing everyone talking like this, she also recognized the role Feng Jun played in this matter, so she accepted turning her twenty Spirit Stones into one thousand–anyone but a fool could see that in today’s maneuver, the investment in Spirit Stones played the smallest role.

Thus, she straightforwardly said, “Then, I’ll take one thousand. I want to buy Water Spirit Pills… two! The rest, Divine Doctor, please keep for me.”

Her thought was that if she didn’t need the remaining few hundred Spirit Stones, she could always leave them for her sister.

Mi Yunshan also had ten Spirit Stones invested, but for her, it was just pocket money. Feng Jun had provided all that she needed for her cultivation, even the Cultivation Technique for after advancing in Qi Refinement–Qingmu Technique.

Therefore, she didn’t care about how much money she made–breaking even was enough.

Yun Buyao watched them divide the Spirit Stones and couldn’t even begin to feel envious. Just a few days ago, she was peddling herself on the outskirts of the Immortal Market. Now, having found a place was already not bad, earning dividends wasn’t something for her yet, let alone following the investment trend.
