Gazing at the jade hand gripping his arm with great force, Li Yuanba’s face was full of bewilderment. On that bewildered face, a pair of ox-like eyes continuously flickered with an innocent lustre.

[He has not even married her yet, and already wants to beat up his future Brother-in-law. I didn’t misjudge him. He’s still the Unstoppable Barbarian!]

Watching Li Yuanba, who stood by him without hesitation and with unwavering resolve, Qin Yichen felt an inexplicable surge of emotion in his heart, almost wanting to cry.

In the end, under Mu Yanzhen’s beautiful but furious glare, Li Yuanba sat back down with an awkward expression, not even daring to make another sound, terrified that the delicate jade hand beside him might descend upon him again at any moment. It was not that he feared the pain, but rather that he was afraid his rough skin and thick flesh might hurt Mu Yanzhen’s small hand.

“Junior Brother Qin, to be honest, I didn’t bring much Spirit Liquid with me this time. Even if I wanted to help you, I’m powerless to help!” Mu Yanfeng took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said with a sigh.

At this moment, Li Yuanba blinked his eyes, just about to say something, when he suddenly felt a soft, boneless jade hand once again settle on the place where the pain had yet to dissipate on his arm.

Li Yuanba’s entire body shuddered, and he hurriedly shut his mouth.

Seeing this, Qin Yichen frowned, his mind rapidly cycling through various solutions. [Should I try to sell the Pill Formula for the Compound Pill, or perhaps go rob the Spirit Liquid from the other Sacred Lands?]

Just as he was contemplating, Li Yuanba’s low murmur suddenly rang out again. “I clearly saw the Sacred Master give him a huge pile of Spirit Liquid, at least several hundred vials.”

*Crack!*

The moment this self-talking murmur emerged, the sound of splintering wood rang out. Li Yuanba’s eyes looked over innocently, only to see Mu Yanfeng’s body trembling slightly. Under his palm, there was a pile of wood shavings, clearly transformed from the armrest of his chair!

“Senior Brother Mu, you are going too far!” Just as Li Yuanba felt the end of the world approaching, Qin Yichen also displayed the spirit a Brother should have, standing up resolutely with heartfelt sincerity. “Alas, originally I thought Senior Brother Mu was an open and generous Senior Brother…”

“Junior Brother Qin, you need not provoke me. To be honest, that Spirit Liquid was prepared by the Sacred Land to compete for that thing. I’ve already given you all of my personal Spirit Liquid. those absolutely cannot be touched!” Mu Yanfeng suppressed the roiling blood energy stirred by Li Yuanba’s anger, speaking with a slight tremor in his voice.

“Senior Brother Mu, exactly how much Spirit Liquid did the Sacred Land give you?” Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a benevolent smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he asked.

Seeing this kind of smile on Qin Yichen’s face, Li Yuanba could not help but glance sympathetically at Mu Yanfeng. He had wanted to kindly change his image before his future Brother-in-law and remind him that whenever this fellow, Qin Yichen, showed this kind of smile, someone was about to fall into a trap.

However, before Li Yuanba could open his mouth, Mu Yanfeng glared fiercely at him, immediately causing him to swallow back the words he was about to say.

“One hundred vials.” Although he did not know what Qin Yichen meant, Mu Yanfeng still transmitted his voice. After all, the latter was also a Sacred Master Candidate. There was no need to hide this matter from him.

This was equivalent to one hundred Peak Grade Spirit Seeds, enough to show the Sacred Land’s vast wealth.

“Senior Brother Mu, what do you think that Sacred Master Candidate from Black Nihility Sacred Land, Xuan Mingge, came here for this time?” The smile at the corners of Qin Yichen’s mouth remained as he transmitted his voice understandingly.

Mu Yanfeng frowned. The man had travelled thousands of kilometres to reach the territory of Saints City. Apart from the Heaven Ascension Token, what else could he be after?

“Hehe, Senior Brother must know that Xuan Mingge definitely came prepared. Judging by his mannerism, he absolutely won’t rest until he has the Heaven Ascension Token in his possession.”

“I’m not undermining the Sacred Land’s prestige, but honestly speaking, in terms of wealth, our Sacred Land temporarily cannot compare with them. In my opinion, the Spirit Liquid in their hands is definitely not limited to what we have.” Qin Yichen’s words immediately caused Mu Yanfeng to fall into brief contemplation.

In truth, how could he not know these principles?

Never mind those from Black Nihility Sacred Land who came prepared, even Radiance Sacred Land and Roaring Heaven Sacred Land were beyond what Brilliant Sky Sacred Land could match.

“Senior Brother, why be so stubborn? Surely, you’ve seen the Sacred Master’s attention toward Qianxue. In my opinion, rather than sitting and watching the show, it would be better to first take out some Spirit Liquid to bid for the Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi!”

“I will definitely remember Senior Brother’s favour. When we return, I’ll take responsibility for this matter!”

Under Qin Yichen’s persuasive analysis, Mu Yanfeng’s expression finally showed signs of yielding.

“Three thousand one hundred Spirit Liquid!” While the two were conversing, the bidding voices in the auction hall had gradually become scattered, and the price had fully doubled!

“Three thousand one hundred drops of Spirit Liquid. Is there anyone raising the bid?”

Yilin’s face bore a seductive smile as her charming eyes looked around, causing countless men to be moved. If not for this price truly making countless people retreat, there would surely already be people trying to impress her by bidding, even for completely useless items.

“Three thousand one hundred Spirit Liquid, first call…” After waiting for quite a while with still no one speaking up, Yilin’s voice carried a feeling that made people want to cherish her tenderly.

“Three thousand one hundred Spirit Liquid, second call…” Yilin’s gaze swept across the entire venue. The Seven Sacred Fire Lingzi fetching this price was already quite good, and moreover, many powerful Forces did not need this item. Most people’s objectives were focused on the Heaven Ascension Token.

“Three thousand two hundred Spirit Liquid!” Just as Yilin’s jade hand picked up the small hammer on the auction platform, preparing to finalise the price of three thousand one hundred Spirit Liquid with one strike, suddenly a somewhat heavy voice rang out from Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s private hall.

It was Mu Yanfeng.

He had still been persuaded by Qin Yichen.

Indeed, since competing for the Heaven Ascension Token was basically hopeless, it would be better to bid for some useful items.

He had seen Feng Qianxue’s situation clearly. She was someone who even moved the Sacred Martial City Envoy. He believed that even if the Sacred Master knew, he would not say anything.

Of course, the main reason he agreed was because he wanted to draw closer to Qin Yichen.

“Three thousand two hundred Spirit Liquid, is there anyone—”

Before Yilin could finish speaking, a voice came from the private hall where Radiance Sacred Land was located, “Four thousand Spirit Liquid!”

All at once, an increase of a full eight Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

And before this, Radiance Sacred Land had not made a single bid.

Clearly, this was deliberately antagonising Brilliant Sky Sacred Land.

“They are going too far!” Mu Yanfeng’s expression was very ugly.

‘Even clay figures have temper’. He immediately became angry.

“Senior Brother Mu.” Qin Yichen, however, stood up with a smile. “We can offer four thousand and one drops of Spirit Liquid!”
