The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1384: A Fat Sheep

After seeing Li Fei and Feng Ling off, Ling Feng and Yan Guying also left the Earth Emperor Pool and returned to their respective Mingjian Towers.

Once they were gone, a figure slowly emerged from behind a rock.

It was none other than Wenren Longzhan, the former First Tianjian who had been defeated by Ling Feng on the arena stage.

As it turned out, Wenren Longzhan had also entered the Earth Emperor Pool. He had personally witnessed Ling Feng charging into the spiritual barrier and being swallowed by the vortex of spiritual energy. Later, Ling Feng had actually walked out unharmed.

Staring at Ling Feng's departing back, Wenren Longzhan muttered to himself, "Did he enter the Great Emperor Spiritual Domain? If so, then that item... Is it now in his possession?"

...

Ling Feng, of course, did not notice Wenren Longzhan. Even if he had seen him inside the Earth Emperor Pool, it would not have been worth any surprise.

After all, as a former First Tianjian, it was not strange for Wenren Longzhan to have accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for an Earth Emperor Token.

Ling Feng's thoughts had already begun to wander toward the Three Sacred's Grand Selection and Sunset Ancient City.

To battle with the top talents of the same generation and compete for the supreme inheritance of the Fallen Immortal Continent was enough to make Ling Feng feel excited just thinking about it.

"Senior Brother Ling, these are the challenge letters that were delivered over the past ten days. These here are bribes from people who wanted me to place their challenge letters at the top. The sect contribution points alone add up to around fifteen thousand, and there are also..."

Seeing Ling Feng return, Fang Wen hurried forward to greet him. Her manner was gentle and attentive, like that of a personal maid. It was completely different from how she treated those disciples who came to issue challenges.

At the beginning, she had only wanted to stay by Ling Feng's side to avoid danger. Now, she had gradually and willingly accepted her role as his maid.

To be able to serve at the side of such a peerless genius was an immense honor, even if she was only a lowly maid.

Ling Feng glanced at her and nodded slightly. More than ten thousand sect contribution points was an amount she might not earn even in ten years. The fact that she could restrain her greed and take nothing showed her loyalty to him.

"Keep these things with you for now. As for the sect contribution points, five thousand of them are yours."

Ling Feng handed the storage spirit ring filled with various valuables back to Fang Wen and smiled faintly. He casually took the thick stack of challenge letters from her hands.

Fang Wen looked at Ling Feng in shock, disbelief filling her eyes. She then bowed repeatedly in thanks.

Ling Feng helped her up and shook his head with a smile. "There is no need for that. Since you are working at my side, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."

As he spoke, Ling Feng quickly flipped through the challenge letters and could not help but shake his head.

Most of the stakes offered were ordinary. They had some value, but the value was limited.

Ling Feng understood their intentions. Most of them were simply trying their luck.

If Ling Feng refused to accept the challenge, they lost nothing. If he accepted and they failed, the loss was still within what they could bear. If they won, then they would be making a small gamble for a big return by obtaining the precious Yin-Yang Soul Jade.

Only a dozen or so showed any real sincerity. The items they offered for the wager duel were truly of considerable value.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Ling Feng's eyes lit up as he noticed one of the challenge letters. The signature at the bottom read Yuwen Changkong, under the command of the Unrivaled Young Emperor.

The deliberate inclusion of the words Unrivaled Young Emperor made it clear that this person held that Young Emperor in high regard.

"Being a lackey and feeling proud of it. That really takes some talent!"

Ling Feng raised his brows. He had little interest in this Yuwen Changkong himself. What truly stirred his fighting intent was the Unrivaled Young Emperor behind him.

The Ten Young Emperors of the inner sect were the unrivaled powerhouses of the Dongling Immortal Pool. Sooner or later, he would step on each of them one by one.

"By the way, this Yuwen Changkong was very generous. He put up ten thousand contribution points as soon as he made his move," Fang Wen quickly added when she saw Ling Feng holding Yuwen Changkong's challenge letter.

"He is quite lavish with his spending."

Ling Feng stroked his chin and thought to himself. A fat sheep!

"Fang Wen, take all these wager duel challenge letters and burn them. I do not have time to take part in these wager duels."

After some thought, Ling Feng casually tossed the challenge letters aside. Wager duels were different from sword tower challenges. These inner sect disciples did not have the qualifications to formally challenge him, so they could only resort to wager duels. As long as Ling Feng did not agree, all of these challenge letters were nothing more than scraps of paper.

"Burn all of them?"

Fang Wen was clearly stunned. Although Ling Feng was within his rights to ignore them according to the rules, rejecting everyone at once would undoubtedly make many enemies within the sect. Offending so many inner sect disciples at one time would make life much harder in the future.

Especially Yuwen Changkong, who was determined to obtain the Yin-Yang Soul Jade. Burning the challenge letter would not solve the problem.

"Yes, burn them all. If I fought them one by one, who knows when it would end."

Ling Feng raised his brows and said calmly, "Go spread the word for me. Tell everyone that I will put the Yin-Yang Soul Jade up for auction tomorrow at noon. The highest bidder takes it!"

"An auction?"

Fang Wen scratched the back of her head, completely unable to understand what Ling Feng was planning.

This did not seem like his usual style at all. He had always been fearless and unyielding, yet now he was apparently choosing to compromise?

What she did not know was that the most precious spirit core within the Yin-Yang Soul Jade had already been taken by Ling Feng. What remained was nothing more than an empty shell. Whoever wanted it could have it!

If he could sell this Yin-Yang Soul Jade for a good price and squeeze out the remaining value, why not take the easy profit?

"Yes. Make sure the spectacle is impressive. Go find that kid Lu Yu and have him inform Master Ye Xiong of the Dan Ding Grand Hall. Tell him that I want to borrow the square outside the Dan Ding Grand Hall to hold a Yin-Yang Soul Jade auction!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly. With his current standing in the Dan Ding Grand Hall, such a small request would naturally not be refused. In fact, Ye Xiong would probably take the initiative to help publicize it.

Once the elders learned of the matter, the inner sect disciples would find it impossible not to hear about it.

If he could sell off the Yin-Yang Soul Jade in one go, he might not even need to run around completing sect missions. He could earn the hundred thousand contribution points required to apply for the promotion assessment in one shot!

Of course, that would not be easy. Contribution points were hard to come by, and most people preferred bartering items rather than paying purely in points.

"I understand."

Fang Wen pressed her lips together. She felt that she was becoming more and more unable to read the man in front of her. At times he was forceful. At other times he was cunning. It was impossible to tell what kind of person he truly was.

However, one thing was certain. He was a gentleman. At the very least, after living under the same roof for so long, Ling Feng had never once shown any inappropriate behavior toward her.

"Mhmm, go and take care of it."

Ling Feng nodded to Fang Wen, then strode toward the secluded cultivation chamber. In his mind, the matters of the Three Sacred's Grand Selection and Sunset Ancient City replayed again and again, making his blood surge with excitement.

Such an opportunity was something he absolutely could not miss!

As these thoughts turned over in his mind, the tension that Ling Feng had held for the past ten days gradually eased. At last, he fell into a deep sleep...
