"Fifteen million!" At this moment, Xu Kun spoke up, raising the price directly to fifteen million.
He just wanted to tell those without strength to get as far away as possible—this was not a battle they could participate in.
Sure enough, as the price soared to fifteen million, ordinary people all backed down.
Even though it was old agarwood, even if it was very beautiful, to them, spending over fifteen million was truly unwise.
Of course, there were exceptions, like Ryi Jie next to Xu Kun.
"Eighteen million!" Ryi Jie calmly called out, while observing Xu Kun's expression.
Although Xu Kun was a bit angry, since he was buying it for Ye Feng, his reaction was not very intense.
"Twenty million!" At this moment, Ye Feng raised his hand and shouted.
After calling, he provocatively looked at Ryi Jie, as if saying, "Come on! If you dare to bid, I'll let you have it."
Because he had been taken advantage of by Xu Kun and Ye Feng before, Ryi Jie hesitated.
He wasn't interested in this thing; he was just trying to annoy Ye Feng and Xu Kun, and now he had achieved his purpose.
To prevent this item from ending up in his hands again, Ryi Jie did not continue to raise the bid.
"Twenty million, going thrice, sold!" As the auctioneer's gavel fell, Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
Although he spent twenty million, it was truly worth the price.
Just the golden light it emitted was worth more than mere wealth could compare to.
Ye Feng handed the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad to Xu Kun, who paid for it and bought it back for Ye Feng.
Looking at the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad in his hand, Xu Kun seemed very happy, and was definitely going to show it off well to his father.
As for Ye Feng, after obtaining the wood carving, he circulated True Qi and quickly absorbed the golden light inside.
Sure enough, after absorbing this golden light, Ye Feng's True Qi inside became several times larger, and his meridians and bones were further strengthened.
Ye Feng even felt that his cultivation base and strength seemed to have entered a new level; the abilities and Cultivation Techniques he could learn had increased.
After completely absorbing the golden light, Ye Feng then activated his X-ray Vision to look inside.
'My god!' Ye Feng was immediately stunned upon seeing the internal situation.
It turns out inside the wood carving was a Tianhuang Seal, and it had been used by an emperor, possessing an emperor's aura, no wonder it glowed with such strong golden light.
At this moment, Ryi Jie on the side mocked with a laugh, "Haha! Spending twenty million on an agarwood piece like this, what a joke, was your head caught in a door or kicked by a donkey?"
He wanted revenge for the earlier grudge.
But he had picked the wrong target.
"Is that so?" Ye Feng replied with a cold laugh, then said with a smile, "This agarwood isn't worth much, but there might be surprises inside, you know?"
Then, ignoring Ryi Jie's reaction, he looked at Xu Kun and asked, "Do you have a sharper knife?"
Hearing Ye Feng's words, Xu Kun quickly advised, "Are you really going to open this thing up? Isn't that such a pity?"
"I didn't buy it for its sake! Stop the nonsense." Ye Feng nodded.
Seeing Ye Feng intent on doing so, Xu Kun had someone bring him a sharp small knife.
After getting the knife, Ye Feng aimed at the weakest spot and began to cut.
"My God! Is he crazy? He's destroying a million-worth agarwood statue just like that?"
"Where did this rich guy come from? Such fine agarwood, and he just destroys it?"
Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded, unable to comprehend Ye Feng's actions.
'Idiot, now it's not even worth a million.' Ryi Jie, on the other hand, was very smug, looking at Ye Feng as if looking at a fool.
"What is he doing? Is he flaunting his wealth?"
"This is a cultural relic, how could it be so ruined?"
Several elders, even with expressions of rage, seemed ready to fight Ye Feng desperately.
However, amidst the crowd's mocking laughter, Ye Feng simply smiled disdainfully.
Mere mortals could never comprehend his capabilities.
At this moment, Ye Feng had already opened up the wood carving, revealing the Tianhuang Seal inside.
"Good heavens! Tianhuang Seal? Is it real or fake?"
"Whoa! If it's truly the emperor's Tianhuang Seal, then he's hit the jackpot."
Seeing the Tianhuang Seal, everyone was left dumbstruck, looking at Ye Feng in disbelief.
"Did he... actually know there was a Tianhuang Seal inside? How did he achieve this?"
Even those previously agitated elders were completely stunned, standing up with some agitation.
Among them, the leading elder even eagerly approached and politely asked, "Could you let me take a look at the seal?"
It was hard to imagine that one second he wanted to strangle Ye Feng, the next second he had to curry favor with him; such a face-changing skill was truly unparalleled.
"Sure!" Ye Feng nodded and handed the seal to him.
These elders were all appraisal experts.
So, after they got the seal, everyone awaited the results with bated breath.
"It's real... It actually is a Qianlong Seal, and it's the Seal of Qianlong's Esteemed Friends."
"Who would have thought, such a treasure would be hidden inside the wood carving, it's utterly unbelievable."
After the appraisal, the elders all excitedly shouted, each extremely thrilled.
For this one Qianlong Seal, destroying the agarwood wood carving, in their view, was absolutely worth it.
So when they looked at Ye Feng, their gaze was incredibly friendly, their attitude taking a 180-degree turn.
"What? Qianlong Seal? How did he get such good fortune?" Hearing the words of the elders, Ryi Jie was so angry he nearly coughed up blood.
Originally, he wanted to use this opportunity to thoroughly mock Ye Feng.
Unexpectedly, Ye Feng managed to reveal a Qianlong Seal, an item valued at tens of millions from the start, incomparable to a mere agarwood wood carving.
"Amazing, who would have thought he'd actually reveal an Emperor's Seal, he's hit it big this time."
"If I had known there was something so good inside, I'd have bought it no matter the cost. Damn, I regret it."
As for the others, they all watched Ye Feng with envious eyes, secretly cursing themselves for not having such luck.
"Brother! You did it!" The most excited was Xu Kun, surprised, giving Ye Feng a thumbs up.
Originally, he thought spending twenty million on this was unwise.
Who would've thought he himself was the fool.
Luckily, he didn't persuade Ye Feng, otherwise, he'd be green with regret.
"Not too bad!" Ye Feng smiled calmly, holding the seal as he prepared to leave.
At this moment, the auction continued, and this time they brought out Wild Ginseng, Wild Ginseng over a century old.
'This...' Upon seeing the Wild Ginseng, Ye Feng was instantly tempted, this was a rare treasure indeed....
