Chapter 202 Shennong Ding
"Father, what kind of person is he?" Yewan couldn't help asking, "Is he so young, is he a high-level man?"
"Don't be fooled by his age." A trace of fear flashed in Ye Hongxuan's eyes, "I can't see what kind of cultivation he is at all. There are only two reasons for this. One is that his cultivation is higher than mine, and the other is that he has no cultivation at all. Which one do you think it is?"
"Is his cultivation level higher than yours?" Yewan was shocked, "But, father, you are already at the late Golden Core stage, and he is higher than you. Is that his cultivation level is higher, or grandfather's cultivation level is higher?"
Her grandfather, who was also the previous head of the Ye family, is now at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, and he is only one step away from entering the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage. This kind of cultivation is already considered very high in the hidden world. It can be said that there are only a handful of people in the hidden world who can step into the Nascent Soul stage.
"I'm not very clear about this." Ye Hongxuan shook his head, and then he said, "However, Wanwan, this Huangfu Ling is not something to be messed with. From the fact that he took the position of the head of the Huangfu family at a young age, it can be seen that he is definitely not a simple person. Moreover, when he was the head of the family, he carried out a **** purge of the Huangfu family, and the Huangfu family is now stable. Such a ruthless person People, if offended, it is not a good thing."
Night night nodded again and again, "Father, I know, I will be careful in the future."
When she thought of what happened today, she really felt terrified. If Huangfu Ling really took action because of her provocation today, then she might not be able to sit here properly now. However, that Ye An'an, Huangfu Ling's fiancée, didn't seem like someone to mess with, and she actually hurt Ye Min'er directly today.
It’s just that the names of these two people—
"What's the matter?" Seeing that the night was not locked tightly, Ye Hongxuan seemed to be confused, and Ye Hongxuan couldn't help but said, "If there is anything you can't figure out, just say it and see if I can explain it to you."
"It's okay, I just think it's a little strange." Yewan didn't hide anything, and directly expressed her doubts, "Father, when the Patriarch Huangfu introduced his fiancée just now, was his fiancée's name called Ye An'an?"
"Yes!" Ye Hongxuan nodded, "Why, do you know him?"
It should be impossible! There is no one called Ye An'an in their Ye family. Moreover, if they knew each other, how could there be such a conflict today!
"Father, did I tell you that the woman Huangfu Ruiling likes is named Ye Leng'an!" Thinking of this incident, Yewan was still in a bad mood, "The head of the Huangfu Patriarch's name is Huangfu Ling. Their names sound very similar."
"This is probably a coincidence!" Ye Hongxuan said directly, "Don't think too much. Also, don't think about this Huangfu Ruiling in the future. You can like anyone, but this Huangfu Ruiling can't."
Now that he is talking about it now, he still has to remind his daughter again. This Huangfu Ruiling is really not suitable for her, there are many good men in the hidden world, there is no need to be attached to a Huangfu Ruiling who doesn't like her.
"Father, that Ye Leng'an was responsible for it, otherwise Huangfu Ruiling wouldn't have treated me like this." Yewan curled her lips and said with some dissatisfaction, "But don't worry, I've given up on Huangfu Ruiling now. However, I still don't want to let them go easily."
Compared to Huangfu Ruiling, the person she hates more is Ye Leng'an. In her opinion, Huangfu Ruiling would not have treated her like this if Ye Leng'an hadn't existed.
Moreover, the most important point is that the first time she saw Ye Leng'an, she didn't like him. I don't know why, when she saw Ye Leng'an for the first time, she felt a sense of familiarity, but she didn't feel any joy, instead, she felt a sense of crisis, as if Ye Leng'an would take away many things from her.
Facts also proved this point, it was because of Ye Leng'an that Huangfu Ruiling rejected her. Probably, she and Ye Leng'an are born enemies!
"You don't need to worry about this matter." Ye Hongxuan warned, "I will handle it well. As long as you don't think about Huangfu Ruiling anymore."
"I see." Yewan nodded, then raised her head and said proudly, "I'm the eldest lady of the Ye family. As long as Huangfu Ruiling doesn't know what's good, then I will definitely not continue to like him."
She will definitely find a real proud child of heaven, and then let Huangfu Ruiling take a good look at it. If someone as outstanding as her is missed, it will definitely be his loss.
Seeing that Ye Wan really seemed to have let go, Ye Hongxuan was finally relieved.
The auction will start soon.
Ye Lengan participated in the Hidden World auction for the first time, so he was quite interested.
As the bidding of each auction item started, the atmosphere on the scene began to slowly rise. Spiritual artifacts, pills, spiritual pets, and some special gems were sent to the auction stage one by one. Some fetched high prices, while others failed.
Ye Leng'an looked at the auction items on the stage with great interest, watched the people around him bid, and never raised a sign from the beginning to the end.
"No one you like?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an beside him, and asked softly, "I thought you would like this kind of auction!"
"It's very interesting!" Ye Leng'an replied with a smile, "It's just that I'm not interested in these things, so I didn't get involved. But don't worry, I won't save you money. When I see something I like, no matter how much it costs, I will take it."
And she didn't have spirit coins with her, so Huangfu Ruiling had to pay the bill in the end. Of course, she has spirit stones on her body. It's just that she doesn't want to exchange spirit stones. After all, no matter from which aspect, the value of spirit stones is much greater than that of spirit coins. Therefore, under normal circumstances, she would not use spirit stones.
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help evoking a doting smile on his face, "If you like something, just ask the price. I can still afford this little hobby of yours."
"Hehe, don't worry, I will definitely not cherish your wallet." Ye Leng'an said with a smile.
At the beginning, the auction items were just throwing bricks to attract new ideas. The further they went, the higher the value of those auction items, and the auction price naturally climbed up steadily.
Time gradually passed, and auction items appeared one after another, but none of them could arouse Ye Leng'an's interest.
Finally, when it came to the last few pieces, an alchemy furnace appeared on the auction stage.
It is said to be an alchemy furnace, but it is very small, bigger than the palm of an adult man. It is impossible to see what kind of material it is made of, but the pattern on the tripod's body is still clearly visible after an unknown number of years. However, no one underestimated this alchemy furnace because of its small size. Because ever since the alchemy furnace appeared, a simple and unsophisticated atmosphere emanated directly from it.
However, not everyone present was interested in the alchemy furnace. After all, the alchemy furnace can only exert its best value in the hands of an alchemist. Others, even if they get it, are not of much use.
Ye Hongxuan under the stage, since the appearance of the alchemy furnace, immediately sat upright. He looked extremely serious, and his eyes never left the alchemy furnace on the stage for a moment. It is conceivable that if it was not at the auction right now, he might have already gone up to get the alchemy furnace and looked at it carefully.
At this moment, he has an expression of determination on his face. Obviously, he must get this alchemy furnace now.
"Father, is this alchemy furnace very precious?" Yewan on the side naturally noticed Ye Hongxuan's seriousness, and she asked curiously, "Could it be that this is more precious than those alchemy furnaces in our family?"
She had never seen such a serious expression on her father's face, and the expression on her father's face when he looked at the alchemy furnace was completely different from before.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the Shennong Ding." Ye Hongxuan's tone was very excited, even trembling, "I didn't expect to meet here. Getting this alchemy furnace will definitely bring our family to a higher level."
When he saw the alchemy furnace, he couldn't believe his eyes, the Shennong cauldron would appear in this place.
In ancient times, Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs for the common people, and also laid the medical foundation for later generations. Shennong used to refine hundreds of medicines in the ancient tripod, known as Shennong Ding. Because of the accumulation of the energy of countless elixir for thousands of years, it is said that it can refine the unparalleled magic medicine that even the gods of the heavens cannot easily obtain, and hide other mysterious powers.
Of course, all this is just a legend. But it is undeniable that if an alchemist has the blessing of Shennong Ding, it will definitely be like a tiger with wings added.
So, today, no matter what, we must win the Shennong Ding.
"Is this really Shennong Ding?" Ye Wanwan's eyes widened, his eyes filled with disbelief, "But no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it!"
"I'm not sure," Ye Hongxuan still kept his eyes from the alchemy furnace on the stage, "but it is indeed the same as what is recorded in the family's ancient books. Whether it is or not, we must take it today."
"Father, don't worry." Compared to Ye Hongxuan's strict preparation, night night seemed much more relaxed, "Even if this is really Shennong Ding, no one will **** it from us. After all, only alchemists can use this alchemy furnace. Others should not have much interest in this, and those who are interested are definitely not as powerful as our Ye Family."
This is absolutely true.
Not everyone is eligible to participate in this auction. Even if those small families and casual alchemists wanted the Shennong Cauldron, they would not dare to compete with the Ye family. Therefore, they have decided on the Shennong Ding today.
On the other side, after Ye Leng'an saw the alchemy furnace, she changed her previous casual attitude, and immediately sat up straight, her eyes completely focused on the auction items on the stage. It can be seen that she has taken a fancy to this auction item.
"Like this alchemy furnace?" Although it was an interrogative sentence, it was in an affirmative tone.
"Indeed." Ye Leng'an didn't hold back, "I've been looking for this thing for a long time. As expected, it didn't take much effort to get it! Today, I have to take this thing down."
"Shen Nong Ding, is it?" Huangfu Ruiling nodded, not surprised by this, but, "This Shen Nong Ding doesn't look as powerful as the legends say!"
Although it exudes a strong and simple atmosphere, the power seems to be completely different from the legend.
"You understand too?" Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I didn't expect that your knowledge is really profound!"
The auctioneer hadn't started to introduce, Huangfu Ruiling had already noticed it. She was really curious about what Huangfu Ruiling didn't understand.
"I just read some books." Huangfu Ruiling said calmly, "The collection of books of the Huangfu family is very rich. It can be said that in the hidden world, there is no family whose collection of books can compare with that of the Huangfu family."
"Really?" Ye Leng'an's eyes lit up a little, "Then can I take a look?"
"Of course." Huangfu Ruiling took a look at Ye Leng'an and said, "Don't forget, you are my fiancée and the future mistress of the Huangfu family. Everything in the Huangfu family belongs to you."
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an gave him an angry look, "How dare you say that! When did I become your fiancée? I don't remember that you ever proposed to me."
Huangfu Ruiling smiled, and did not answer Ye Leng'an's question, but turned his head and looked at the auction stage, "Do you really want this Shennong Ding? It doesn't look like a real product!"
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling mention Shennong Ding again, Ye Leng'an's attention was also diverted. She smiled mysteriously and said, "I'm pretty sure that the alchemy furnace on it is Shennong Ding."
Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an, but didn't speak. However, the doubt in the eyes was clearly visible.
"This is indeed the Shennong Ding, but it's just a part of it." Ye Leng'an smiled brightly, "So its strength doesn't seem to be as powerful as in the legend."
After hearing Ye Leng'an's answer, Huangfu Ruiling immediately understood, "The rest is in your hands."
"That's right." Ye Leng'an didn't hide anything, she nodded, "I also have the Shennong Ding in my hand, but it's incomplete. Although I can make alchemy, I still can't make full use of it. However, as long as I can get the Shennong Ding on the stage, then the Shennong Ding in my hand is also complete."
The Shennong Ding in her hand was found in a secret realm when she was in the cultivation world. It's just that what she found was only a broken one, and it was still partly missing. For this reason, she searched for a long time, but still couldn't find the missing part. Later, she also gave up.
However, although it is incomplete, it is definitely much stronger than other alchemy furnaces for alchemy. When she returned to this world again, the incomplete Shennong cauldron naturally came with her.
What she never expected was that now she would actually see the missing part of the Shennong Ding in this world. It's just that this made her start to wonder if there is any connection between the three lives she traveled through!
Seeing Ye Leng'an fell silent, Huangfu Ruiling beside him couldn't help frowning, "An'an, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, I just feel surprised to see the fragments of the Shennong Ding in this auction." Ye Leng'an shook his head, shaking off the redundant thoughts in his mind, "However, since I saw it, I must have this thing in my pocket today."
"We will definitely win it." Huangfu Ruiling said with certainty.
The auctioneer on the stage also began to introduce this auction item.
"Dear guests, everyone has also seen this alchemy furnace on the stage!" The alchemist began to introduce, "This alchemy furnace is a mysterious guest asked us to help them auction. After that, we have repeatedly identified by our appraiser, thinking that this alchemy furnace is likely to be the legendary Shenning Ding. Of course, because Shenning Ding is the legendary thing, our appraiser cannot be 100 % percentage. One hundred is determined. So in the end, you still have to be a guest, and everyone choose it based on your own eyes. "
"However, regardless of whether it is Shennong Ding or not, this alchemy furnace is indeed top-quality. It is definitely a good partner for alchemists. Therefore, if there are alchemists present, don't miss it."
"Okay, our Shennong Cauldron is now up for auction, with a starting price of 10 million spirit coins, and each increase will start at a minimum of 1 million spirit coins."
There were also quite a few alchemists present, and they quickly started calling for prices.
Although they knew that the head of the Ye Family had also arrived at the scene today, in the end, there was a great possibility that the Shennong Cauldron would be acquired by the Ye Family. However, they still wanted to try their luck. After all, the Shennong Cauldron was so attractive that no alchemist could resist it.
As the voices of outcry came and went, within a short time, the Shennong Ding had already been called for a high price of 200 million spirit coins. However, even so, there are still many people who continue to bid. After all, such an opportunity is rare!
Seeing that it was about the same, Ye Hongxuan also began to join the bidding team, "203 million spirit coins."
As soon as they heard Ye Hongxuan start asking for a price, many alchemists couldn't help showing disappointed expressions on their faces. However, they accepted it quickly. Although it was a fluke, it was indeed within their expectation that the Patriarch of the Ye family would participate in the bidding.
Because Ye Hongxuan joined, many people stopped bidding. For one thing, they didn't want to fight against the Ye family. Secondly, they are also very self-aware, knowing that their strength is definitely not comparable to the Ye family, even if they continue to fight, they may not be able to take pictures. That being the case, it's better to sell Ye's face.
However, there are still a few people who like this Shennong Ding very much. Therefore, even if they saw Ye Hongxuan starting to bid, they were not willing to give up easily.
For those who continued to bid, Ye Hongxuan didn't pay attention to them at all. The strength of the Ye Family is so strong that those people cannot match it.
Soon, the price has soared to 300 million spirit coins. And there are fewer and fewer people who continue to follow the price call, and the increase in the price that is called out is getting smaller and smaller.
Finally, only Ye Hongxuan and another alchemist were left to continue to bid.
Another alchemist is a casual cultivator, and his complexion is not very good. Even the bidding time is getting longer and longer, it can be seen that he should give up soon.
Finally, when Ye Hongxuan called out a high price of 400 million, another alchemist finally gave up and stopped entanglement.
He knew very well that he was definitely not as powerful as the Ye family, and there was no need to pay his savings for so many years for this so-called Shennong Ding. Therefore, after weighing it over and over again, he still decided to give up the Shennong Ding.
Seeing that finally no one asked for a price again, Ye Hongxuan was relieved, and at the same time was a little excited, as if he had already got the Shennong Cauldron.
"410 million."
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
Everyone followed the voice, and the person who asked for the price was obviously the fiancée of the Patriarch Huangfu.
No one expected that Ye Leng'an would suddenly get involved at this time. Just now, Mingmingye Leng'an didn't seem to be interested at all, otherwise how could he hold back the price!
However, just as the end was coming to an end, she suddenly started asking prices.
Obviously, Ye Hongxuan did not expect that Ye Leng'an would suddenly bid at this time. He frowned, and couldn't help but look in Ye Leng'an's direction. He really didn't know whether the other party was just a whim or really wanted the Shennong Cauldron.
"Why is she joining in the fun at this time!" Yewan on the side said dissatisfiedly, "Can she make alchemy? She actually wants to take pictures of the Shennong Ding. Father, tell me, did she deliberately oppose us!"
Ye Hongxuan didn't answer Yewan's words, but raised his hand again, shouting, "415 million spirit coins."
After calling the price, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Ye Leng'an, he just wanted to see if the other party would continue to call the price.
Ye Leng'an naturally also noticed Ye Hongxuan's gaze, but she didn't even raise her eyes, and said directly, "430 million."
Ye Hongxuan on the other side, after seeing Ye Lengan continuing to bid, his expression darkened, and then he continued to increase the price.
