118: Ten million spirit stones!

Huangfu Jing saw that there was no longer any room for negotiation.

He couldn't help but sigh, stood up, and left.

Seeing him leave without saying a word, Huangfu Rui quickly shouted:

"Wait, you're just leaving? Aren't you going to stay and see how I deal with Feng Ming?"

Huangfu Jing stopped and sneered, "If you're not afraid of death, then go ahead. I need to hurry back and tell Father that if you die, he should have another brother for me."

"How can you talk like that? I'm your elder brother."

Huangfu Jing completely ignored him.

Huangfu Rui was furious, but he still hurried to follow.

Huangfu Yunyan, who was at the back, cast an unwilling glance toward the Hua Pavilion, stomped her feet hard, and followed... Hua Pavilion.

Hearing the sound of the gavel and the host's announcement, Feng Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he had guessed that no one might want this item.

There was no guarantee that someone wouldn't act impulsively and try to outbid him.

He only had so many Spirit Stones; if it came to a bidding war, it would have been truly difficult.

Fortunately, it was now successfully acquired, and the subsequent operations could proceed as planned.

The Feng Family could also rely on the Formation to gain a firm foothold in Qingyang City.

Feng Ming took out a card and handed it to Hua Dieer.

"Miss Dieer, here are two million Spirit Stones, the price difference from selling the Formation at a twenty percent discount. As for the rent, I will pay it when I return the Formation."

"By the way, there's also the Pill Formula and medicinal ingredients for the enlightenment pill; name your price."

Hua Dieer smiled as she took the card and said, "Compared to Young Master's two million Spirit Stones, the Pill Formula and ingredients are worth nothing. They are a gift to Young Master Feng."

As she spoke, Hua Dieer handed a Storage Ring to Feng Ming.

Feng Ming took it and checked; it indeed contained the Pill Formula and ingredients he wanted. Not only that, he even got a Storage Ring for free.

Working with Hua Dieer was simply too pleasant.

Hua Dieer asked, "The Formation will be delivered shortly. Is there anything else you'd like to buy, Young Master?"

Feng Ming replied, "I don't need anything else, but I do have a favor to ask of Miss Dieer."

Hua Dieer was startled, "Please speak, Young Master Feng."

Feng Ming smiled, "Could I ask Miss Dieer to personally escort me home?"

Hua Dieer was stunned and immediately understood Feng Ming's intention. "Young Master Feng, you already have the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation. Are you still worried that the Huangfu Family will take the opportunity to act?"

Feng Ming coughed awkwardly, covering his mouth with his fist as he smiled. "Mainly, I'm out of money. Those two million Spirit Stones were my entire fortune."

"The rest of the Feng Family's money is with Eldest Uncle's Wife; it belongs to the Feng Family's general ledger."

Hua Dieer looked astonished, blinked, and shook her head helplessly.

"It seems Young Master Feng has planned everything long ago. This feeling of being led by the nose by you is quite uncomfortable."

Hearing this, Feng Ming laughed, "Sorry, how about I lead you by the hand next time? Would that feel more comfortable?"

Hua Dieer immediately blushed bright red. "You!"

"Smooth-talker!"

Hua Dieer gave Feng Ming a sidelong glance before calling out toward the outside of the private box.

"Yue'er, get my cloak. I need to go out."

Soon, the voice of a maid came from outside.

Feng Ming quickly cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you for the honor, Miss Dieer."

Hua Dieer looked at Feng Ming and spoke coquettishly, "Young Master Feng is so glib; no wonder you could win over Lu An'an. Even I'm starting to get a bit curious about you."

"But I'm not helping you for free. You must give me the Medicinal Pills you promised as soon as possible."

Feng Ming smiled and nodded.

As long as the Feng Family's survival in Qingyang City was resolved, starting the Medicinal Pill business would be easy.

After speaking, Hua Dieer called two Waiters to bring the still-unconscious Uncle Zhong, and the group left the Auction House.

The development of the whole situation was much as Feng Ming had expected.

Just as the auction ended, news of his purchase of the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation spread rapidly through the city.

Whoever controlled a portable Nascent Soul Destruction Formation effectively had a Nascent Soul Realm Peak expert protecting them.

To put it simply, people would have to speak softly to him in the future; otherwise, he could kill them in a heartbeat.

Now that the news had spread throughout the city, The Two Elders of Chi Mei waiting outside naturally received it as well.

This made their expressions look very grim.

They hadn't expected Feng Ming to go to the Auction House specifically to buy this Formation; they had miscalculated.

"It's too late for anything now. Besides, that kid is extremely cunning; he even has Shopkeeper Hua personally escorting him home. Even without that Formation, we wouldn't be able to touch him tonight."

"For now, we can only continue to wait and see where he uses the Formation."

The two discussed.

No one dared to act at this time.

After all, Hua Dieer was accompanied by the Merchant Guild's Mahayana Realm experts.

Even if they were just hired, they were still in the Mahayana Realm.

Unless The Two Elders of Chi Mei were insane, they wouldn't dare attack a Mahayana Realm expert.

"Let's go to the Huangfu Family first and see how they plan to respond next."

With those words, the two disappeared into the night.

The Huangfu Family.

After Huangfu Jing returned home and told the family head, Huangfu He, the news about Feng Ming buying the Nascent Soul Destruction Formation.

Huangfu He's face immediately turned cold.

Huangfu Qing added from the side, "Big brother, it's true. It's spread all over Qingyang City now. I'm afraid those watching our two families aren't just there for the spectacle."

As the family head, Huangfu He naturally understood what Huangfu Qing meant.

Over ninety percent of the Pill Workshops in Qingyang City bought their Medicinal Pills from the Huangfu Family. This wasn't because their pills were good.

Rather, it was because they didn't want to and didn't dare to offend the Huangfu Family.

This meant that once the Huangfu Family failed to gain the upper hand in their confrontation with Feng Ming, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Although the Feng Family hadn't started selling Medicinal Pills in Qingyang City yet, many Pill Workshop shopkeepers had already gone to establish connections.

Once the Feng Family's shops opened for the Medicinal Pill business, it was hard to say how many people would still listen to the Huangfu Family.

After a moment, Huangfu He stared at Huangfu Jing and spoke angrily, "Since you were there at the time, why didn't you just snatch it from Feng Ming's hands?"

Huangfu Jing quickly lowered his head.

"Father, that was ten million Spirit Stones after all. Who could have imagined Feng Ming would actually buy it?"

Huangfu Qing also said.

"Big brother, let alone the children, even we didn't expect this!"

"Even we would feel the sting of buying something worth ten million Spirit Stones, let alone a child? One can only say this Feng Ming has boldness, exhausting his family's wealth just to deal with us."

Huangfu He also sighed and asked.

"Have The Two Elders of Chi Mei taken action yet?"

Huangfu Qing shook his head, "No, they've withdrawn. With that Formation there, the Feng Family is off-limits, at least for tonight."

"Moreover, he asked Hua Dieer to escort him. The Two Elders of Chi Mei didn't dare to act. For now, we can only wait until Feng Ming leaves the Feng Family."
