Chapter 76: The Obscure Skin

As Lin Feng’s words fell, the entire venue instantly fell silent, with no one daring to mock him. The events that had occurred on the mountain earlier had already spread everywhere! Everyone knew that this young man named Lin Feng could easily kill Earthly Realm experts and had even gained the attention of Elder Feng from Hundred Cloud Commerce. Who would dare to comment on such a mysterious and unfathomable figure?

In the No. 3 Heavenly Character private room, Tan Tianhong asked in confusion, “Young Master Lin, why are you buying this thing?”

“Ten thousand isn’t expensive. I’ll just buy it to play with,” Lin Feng replied without further explanation. Because he wasn’t yet certain if this was exactly what he thought it was.

In the past, on the mountain, the old man had comprehensively trained him. Besides array formation, talisman making, alchemy, and sword techniques, he would also tell him some ancient cultivator world’s strange anecdotes.

The old man had said: In the ancient cultivator world, there was a fierce beast called ‘Ao Miao’. It had a tiger’s head, a cow’s body, four hooves, a single horn, a voice like thunder, loved water, and typically lived in mountains and large lakes.

Its skin was impervious to water, couldn’t be burned by fire, and was difficult to damage by ordinary means. Most critically, when text was written on an Ao Miao’s skin, the text would quickly hide and could only be revealed using a special material.

Because of these unique properties, some powerful cultivators liked to use Ao Miao skin to record their cultivation insights, divine techniques, and mysterious methods.

Of course, this was all from the ancient era! At that time, the cultivation civilization was thriving. Not only were cultivators everywhere, but various creatures nurtured by the earth’s spiritual energy and developing intelligence were also abundant.

Nowadays, fierce beasts had basically gone extinct and were almost unseen! Perhaps some remained in deep mountains and old forests, but definitely not many!

Therefore, Lin Feng suspected this tattered cloth roll might be an Ao Miao skin. Perhaps it recorded some cultivation technique. If that were true, he would have struck gold!

Just then, a faint voice broke the venue’s silence: “Ten thousand is too little. I’ll offer one hundred million!”

Instantly, “Wow~”

The entire venue erupted in shock. Everyone was stunned.

What was happening? Someone was actually bidding?

Could this thing actually be a treasure?

They looked and saw it was from the No. 2 Ground Character private room – wasn’t this the Jiang family’s room?

In the No. 2 Ground Character private room, Jiang Junlin lay on a massage chair, watching the auction platform, a subtle smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

“Jiang Junlin, what are you doing? Spending a hundred million on this? Are you crazy?” Chen Inuo said unhappily.

“Can’t I? I have money. Can’t I bid on whatever I like?” Jiang Junlin said casually.

“You’re not interested. Your goal is just to annoy Lin Feng, right?” Chen Inuo said coldly.

“So what? I’m just trying to annoy him! He’s strong, and I can’t beat him. But my Jiang family has plenty of money! Whatever he wants, I’ll make sure he doesn’t get it!” Jiang Junlin sneered.

Since things had developed this far, he no longer wanted to pretend!

“You… you’re completely unreasonable!” Chen Inuo said angrily.

“Stop talking. If Lin Feng wants it, let him bid! As long as he has more money than me, I’ll let him have it,” Jiang Junlin said expressionlessly.

At that moment, “Two hundred million!” Lin Feng’s voice echoed through the venue.

“One billion!” Jiang Junlin said contemptuously.

He stood up and shouted, “This is a treasure! I’m determined to get it. No matter who competes with me, I won’t give up easily! Anyone who has the ability, come bid! My Jiang family has money and fears no one!”

The martial artists at the scene were suddenly uncertain and suspicious.

A treasure? They carefully examined the screen projection, trying to discern something. But no matter how they looked, it didn’t seem like a treasure at all!

Even the auctioneer was somewhat surprised! He knew the person in the No. 2 Ground Character room was Jiang Family’s direct heir Jiang Junlin, who shouldn’t be lying. Could this item actually be extraordinary? Had their appraisal experts missed something?

At the same time, in the No. 1 Heavenly Character private room, the black-robed elder suddenly became excited. He had been about to leave, but unexpectedly encountered a pleasant surprise at the critical moment!

“Hehe, I’ve finally found someone who recognizes this item!” he muttered to himself. “I wonder what kind of force the Jiang family is? That young man sounds quite arrogant and seems quite impressive!”

“No matter what, since you’ve recognized this cloth roll, I must thank you later!” The black-robed elder looked sinisterly towards the No. 2 Ground Character room, his eyes flickering with a strange light, as if he could already see Jiang Junlin’s appearance.

In the No. 3 Heavenly Character private room, Lin Feng remained expressionless, looking outside. He didn’t believe Jiang Junlin actually understood the purpose of the Ao Miao skin. This was just a convenient excuse to annoy him!

Tan Tianhong, seeing Lin Feng’s silence, thought Lin Feng had run out of money and proactively said, “Young Master Lin, just keep bidding! I have some money here!”

“No need. Just let him have it. We can always take it back later,” Lin Feng shook his head.

Then, speaking into the microphone, he said casually, “Since you think it’s a treasure, then keep it. Spending a billion on such a piece of junk, you’re really beyond my expectations.”

“Is that so? You think it’s junk, but that’s just because you don’t recognize its value!” Jiang Junlin naturally wouldn’t admit defeat, speaking with a tone that suggested Lin Feng was ignorant.

This made Lin Feng somewhat surprised.

Could Jiang Junlin actually know about the Ao Miao skin?

If that were true, it would mean the Jiang family was indeed not to be underestimated!

Perhaps they even had cultivators behind them?

In the No. 1 Heavenly Character private room, the black-robed elder was trembling with excitement!

He wanted to laugh to the sky and immediately rush to the No. 2 Ground Character room, grab Jiang Junlin, beat him up, and force him to reveal the origin of the tattered cloth roll!

But after thinking about it, he held back.

Although everyone present was trash and no match for him in one move, this was still the Hundred Cloud Commerce’s territory, and he had to give them some face!

The two masters of the Hundred Cloud Commerce were still people he couldn’t afford to offend right now!
