"Alright, stop looking. Pick a few stalks and sell them."
Du Feng had already decided to let Shang Zhongyan and Chang Tianjie sell a few stalks of Fire Lingzhi during this auction. The Northern Continent lacked medicinal herbs, especially precious herbs like the Fire Lingzhi that only grew in the southernmost region. He could not bear to touch the mother stalk, but the Fire Lingzhi that it produced could still be sold for money.
Because time flowed quickly in the pocket dimension of the necklace, the Fire Lingzhi was already a few decades old. It should be worth some money. For the next few months, Du Feng did not go out. Other than making weapons and armors for the servants, and occasionally refining elixirs, the rest of his time was spent on cultivation.
There was still half a year before the Sea Cutter City auction. He was not in a hurry to go. In any case, he had already sent Shang Zhongyan and Chang Tianjie to scout out the place. When these two appeared in Sea Cutter City, they caused a small commotion. Everyone thought that they were dead, but they actually appeared alive.
Of course, the two of them had already thought of a story. They would say that they met an expert that day and were so frightened that they dove into the sea to hide. When the waves calmed down, they came out again.
"What did that expert look like?"
"What weapon did he use? Was it a sword?"
Everyone was very interested in what happened that day. Even the members of the Sea Cutter City's City Defense Team were listening.
"It was a young gigolo. He was quite ruthless."
"He wore white clothes and held a silver sword. He almost killed me."
Chang Tianjie's brain was too stupid to make up stories. Hence, Shang Zhongyan was in charge of answering everyone's questions. When he spoke, he paid attention to his tone and could not reveal a look of worship. If he accidentally called out his master, he would be exposed.
"What sword skills did this person use?"
"That's right. Could this person be related to the Sword Sovereign?"
The latter question was what everyone was most interested in.
"I don't know if that gigolo is related to the Sword Sovereign, but his sword skills are indeed very powerful."
"As we were fighting, blue snow suddenly fell from the sky. When I saw that things were not good, I pulled Chang Niutou and ran. You don't know what happened. If not for my underwater skills, I would have been frozen there. "
The more Shang Zhongyan boasted, the more excited he became. It was as if he had really run away at that time.
"Yes, the situation is basically true!"
The city guards relayed what they had heard to the commander-in-chief and felt that what Shang Zhongyan had said was basically true. At that time, there were indeed some blue snowflakes left. The water was frozen deep, and a group of Ghost Head Fish were also frozen there. If they didn't run away, they would probably end up like those fish.
"What about the others? Why are you two the only ones alive?"
The crowd was not a fool, and someone asked a sharp question. Since the two of you ran away, where did the others go? Even if they were frozen, there should still be corpses around. However, apart from a few overturned boats, there wasn't even a corpse to be found.
"If the others are still alive, how can the two of us get rich? It's good that you understand this kind of thing, don't ask anymore. "
Shang Zhongyan grinned, revealing his black teeth. He was clearly smiling happily, but he gave off a sinister feeling. Yes, these two fellows seemed to have gotten rich recently. It was estimated that the people from the other expeditions had all been killed by them. Evildoers often happened at sea, and everyone was used to it.
No matter what, everyone made a decision in their hearts not to go out to sea with these two fellows in the future. Otherwise, they would end up like those expedition members who died without a burial place. Of course, there were also people who had a different opinion. They felt that these teams must have found some kind of treasure and had a conflict of interest along the way, which led to internal strife. Old Devil Shang and Chang Niutou must have gotten a lot of benefits to be able to come back alive.
That legendary successor of the Sword Emperor might have passed by from high up in the sky and couldn't stand what the two were doing, so he casually struck with his sword. If he really intended to kill them, how could the two of them have come back alive?
"Don't ask, don't ask. Anyway, I don't want to meet that person in my life."
Shang Zhongyan and Chang Tianjie both acted as if they had just survived a disaster, which made everyone feel that their story was even more believable. Chang Tianjie, in particular, was so excited that his face was red, and his two large nostrils were constantly emitting hot air. Everyone knew that he was a straightforward person. Something must have really happened to him, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.
This storm quickly passed. Shang Zhongyan and Chang Tianjie were still living in the house they rented before, and at the same time, they asked around to see if there were any shops for rent. And Du Feng didn't go out in Northern Hell, which made Nangong Jingwei extremely anxious.
There were two reasons why he was anxious. One was because if Du Feng didn't go out, he wouldn't be able to make a move. The second was that he was afraid that the other party wouldn't go out because he wanted to break through to the Powang realm. After all, the two of them were currently at the peak of Heaven Seizing Realm Level 9 in Cultivation. If Du Feng broke through, then his chances of winning would be greatly reduced.
Nangong Jingwei didn't want to break through because he wanted to participate in the Earth Board Ranking Competition and obtain first place. Among the guards of the Nangong Family, there was currently one person who was ranked ninth in the Earth Board Ranking Competition. Because of his ranking, he was especially valued, and even his treatment was higher than others.
If he broke through now, he wouldn't be able to participate in the Earth Board Ranking Competition. Thus, Nangong Jingwei suppressed his Cultivation and wasn't in a hurry to break through, and he also didn't want Du Feng to break through now. The two of them were both at Heaven Seizing Realm Level 9, so it was a good time to test their strength.
Actually, Du Feng wasn't in a hurry to break through to the Powang realm. Instead, he was training hard in the Demonic Race's battle technique, Phoenix Ascension. He had already reached the third transformation of the Nine Revolutions Golden Dragon Body. Before he broke through to the Powang realm, he couldn't continue training anymore. He might as well practice the Phoenix Clan's secret technique, Phoenix Ascension.
The Northern Hell was very large, and it was supported by a formation. No matter what he did inside, the people outside wouldn't know. Actually, in these few days, Du Feng had flown around the Northern Hell's courtyard countless times. In order to pursue the limit of speed, he constantly challenged himself.
Phoenix Ascension was indeed worthy of being the Phoenix Clan's secret technique. The flying speed of the first layer of Phoenix Wings had already surpassed the Soaring Flight Technique that Du Feng knew before. By the time he reached the second layer of Phoenix Wings, his speed was already ridiculously fast. Even if the Princess Ship was covered in Swift Wind Talismans, it wouldn't be as fast as the second layer of Phoenix Wings.
