"Crazy, crazy, absolutely crazy! He just spent two hundred thousand Immortal Martial Stones on a piece of scrap metal!"
"Young master, you're still too young. That's scrap metal — it'll be useless even if you take it home."
In an instant, the auction hall erupted into a frenzy. Many felt that Chu Feng had been duped, but Chu Feng himself couldn't care less.
"Chu Feng, could it be that you've noticed something special about that bracelet?" At that moment, Chu Ruoshi asked curiously.
"No, not really." Chu Feng shook his head.
"Then I'm a bit confused. If there's nothing special about it, why spend that kind of money to buy it?" Chu Ruoshi asked.
"Coming to an auction is all about having fun," Chu Feng said with a smile.
"My, Chu Feng, you really are generous — spending that much just for fun."
Chu Ruoshi smiled faintly. In truth, she couldn't understand Chu Feng's reasoning.
"I won some Immortal Martial Stones in a stone-guessing bet earlier, so even though I bought this bracelet, it wasn't my own money. That's why it doesn't hurt to spend it," Chu Feng explained.
Pfft— Hearing this, Jin Shibo nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood from sheer fury.
Well, wasn't that something. Chu Feng said it didn't hurt because he wasn't spending his own money — but that was Jin Shibo's money!
"Oh? Chu Feng, you also know how to guess stones? How much did you win?" Chu Ruoshi asked curiously.
"Ten million Immortal Martial Stones," Chu Feng said.
"What?"
The moment these words left his mouth, Chu Ruoshi froze, momentarily at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, the other young members of the Chu Heavenly Clan cast contemptuous glances at Chu Feng. He could even hear whispered remarks — people saying that Chu Feng was blowing hot air without so much as blinking.
Chu Ruoshi's silence now presumably meant she too believed Chu Feng was bragging.
"That's the truth. I can vouch for him," Elder Xingyi spoke up at that moment.
"I can vouch for him as well," Xia Yun'er added.
The moment these two spoke, Chu Ruoshi's expression shifted. Even the proud and haughty Chu Lingxi turned to look at Chu Feng, her clear eyes filled with disbelief.
Ten million Immortal Martial Stones — even for the young masters and young ladies of the Chu Heavenly Clan, that was an astronomical sum. And he had won that kind of amount through stone-guessing?
"Whose did you win them from?" Chu Ruoshi asked.
Chu Feng didn't answer. Instead, he looked toward Jin Shibo with a smile on his face.
"You won them from Young Master Jin?" Chu Ruoshi was remarkably perceptive — she understood in an instant.
"Young Master Jin, how generous of you! Losing ten million Immortal Martial Stones in a stone-guessing bet — could it be that the Jin Stone Upper Realm doesn't actually produce gold and jade, but Immortal Martial Stones instead?"
Quite a few of the Chu Heavenly Clan's juniors chimed in with mocking remarks.
At that moment, Jin Shibo, though seething inside, could only manage an awkward smile before shooting Chu Feng a vicious glare.
While they were chatting, the second auction item had already been sold off — it was an ordinary Immortal Armament that ultimately fetched twelve thousand Immortal Martial Stones.
Now, it was time for the third item.
"This next treasure may not be of much use for cultivation, but if you gift it to the woman of your heart, it will surely win you hers."
As the Ghostly Sorrow Elder spoke, the red cloth covering the third tray flew away, revealing the item beneath.
"Wow, what kind of flower is that? It's so beautiful!"
