Chapter 646: 643: Exchanging Treasures_1
At the Yellow Sand Auction, everyone who won a bid could exchange the treasures for Spirit Stones afterward. If someone couldn’t provide enough Spirit Stones, it would be difficult to leave the auction. Those who impulsively bid on treasures but couldn’t provide the corresponding Spirit Stones often had to pay a hefty price, such as losing an arm, and they were not a few.
Just like Zhang Huafeng thought, many people were now focusing on Yang Chen after the auction ended.
They were curious about what Yang Chen would use to bid for that mysterious staff.
One hundred and fifty Spirit Stones were no small sum!
Yang Chen didn’t care about what others thought. After the auction ended, he stood up, planning to meet up with the Green Lotus Sect.
After all, he still relied on the Green Lotus Sect for the Spirit Stones.
However, it seemed that enemies always crossed paths. As soon as he moved, he bumped into Zhang Huafeng, who seemed to be ‘coincidentally’ blocking his way.
Zhang Huafeng was still resentful about what happened earlier, and now seeing Yang Chen, his expression was even colder: “Brother Yang Chen, don’t forget to get the Spirit Stones to exchange for that staff. Don’t run away at the last moment. Otherwise, if you get caught by Huangsha City, the price you pay will be terrible.”
“I don’t think Brother Zhang needs to worry about that.” Yang Chen yawned, casually shrugged his shoulders, not caring at all.
Seeing Yang Chen not taking him seriously, Zhang Huafeng coldly snorted and said, “Yang Chen, later, I will make sure you won’t be able to smile anymore! Don’t really think that I can’t do anything to you in this Yellow Sand Auction!”
“Oh? I’m really looking forward to how Brother Zhang will deal with me.” Yang Chen calmly replied and left.
As for the rules of Huangsha City, he wouldn’t just break them for no reason and cause a commotion here. Although he had already taken a dislike to Zhang Huafeng.
“Zhang Huafeng and Yang Chen are fighting again.”
“Zhang Huafeng wouldn’t really take action in the Yellow Sand Auction, would he?”
“That’s not necessarily true. If he gets irritated, he doesn’t have to do it himself. He can just find someone else to deal with Yang Chen!”
Zhang Huafeng licked his lips at this moment, “Yang Chen, good, you’ve angered me. You really think I can’t do anything to you in this Yellow Sand Auction? Rules are only for maintaining the interests of the upper-class people. Someone like you, a lower-class person, can only look up to those rules but never experience any of the pleasures they provide!”
With that in mind, Zhang Huafeng twisted his neck, having already figured out how to deal with Yang Chen.
Now, Yang Chen was directly joining up with the Green Lotus Sect. As he arrived at the sect, Li Ruoxiang was leading the disciples down from the VIP Building. Her beautiful eyes looked at Yang Chen, and she spoke seriously, “Young Master Yang Chen, are you confident that you can repay so many Spirit Stones that you borrowed?”
“I have some confidence in that,” Yang Chen said slowly.
“Then you’d better hurry up. The interest on the Spirit Stones borrowed from our Green Lotus Sect usually accumulates quickly.” Li Ruoxiang yawned leisurely.
Yang Chen paused for a moment, feeling like he had been tricked.
But, soon enough, he spoke calmly, “Sect Leader Li, one day you will realize that lending me Spirit Stones was a very profitable and fortunate thing for your Green Lotus Sect.”
His words were full of confidence in himself!
There was no hint of jest in his words. Yang Chen never owed anyone favors. If he did, he would repay them a hundredfold.
It was the same for the favors he owed the Green Lotus Sect.
Li Ruoxiang raised her eyebrows and glanced at Yang Chen indifferently. If anyone else had said that, she would have thought they were bragging. But looking into Yang Chen’s eyes, she could see the sincerity and no shadow of doubt.
This man was very confident, and his words were not born of arrogance.
“I’ll be looking forward to that,” Li Ruoxiang said slowly.
Li Ruoxiang made a slight gesture, and a bag of Spirit Stones was thrown to Yang Chen.
This made the Green Lotus Sect elders wonder about Li Ruoxiang’s attitude and thoughts. Yang Chen was clearly an immature youngster!
Competing with Zhang Huafeng was motivated by anger and impulsiveness.
Borrowing one hundred and fifty Supreme Grade Spirit Stones in one breath was irrational.
Now, boasting arrogantly showed that he didn’t know the heights of the sky nor the depths of the earth!
What was so good about this Yang Chen that their Sect Leader had so much faith in him?
Yang Chen could feel the strange looks from the Green Lotus Sect elders and somewhat guessed that he might not be welcomed by everyone in the Sect.
Of course, he didn’t care about that either. Now that he had received the Spirit Stones, he counted them and found that there were indeed one hundred and fifty top-grade Spirit Stones, not one less. They were all Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.
The Green Lotus Sect was really generous!
Yang Chen cupped his hands, “Thank you, Sect Leader Li!”
“No need to be polite, our Green Lotus Sect didn’t win anything in the auction either. We’ll just go with you,” Li Ruoxiang said slowly.
“That’s fine,” Yang Chen nodded.
So, he and the Green Lotus Sect went to the backstage area along with many other auction winners to exchange their Spirit Stones for their won treasures.
When Yang Chen arrived at the backstage, there were many people. He could clearly see that the exchange of the treasures was handled by Old man Huayun. Many auction winners handed over the corresponding Spirit Stones to claim their treasures.
“Zhenwu Main City has already exchanged the Silver Dragon Scissors.”
“Zhenwu Main City has really made a huge harvest this time.”
When Yang Chen arrived, he saw a large group of people from Zhenwu Main City. Among them, one of the instructors held the Silver Dragon Scissors and quickly put them into his Storage Bag. Then, he hurriedly left.
After all, showing off wealth was not a good idea. Although Zhenwu Main City had considerable power, they still needed to be wary of others harboring ill intentions.
It was true that there were people with ill intentions. At least, Yang Chen noticed that after Zhenwu Main City left, there were significantly fewer people in the backstage area. Obviously, many of them had left following Zhenwu Main City.
Yang Chen knew that many people were eyeing the Silver Dragon Scissors.
The so-called rule, that there would be no fights occurring in Huangsha City, was just a joke. Rules were for constraining the weak, while the real powerhouses always played with the rules. As for Old man Huayun? He probably wouldn’t interfere as long as it wasn’t a snatch.
But what did it have to do with him?
Yang Chen’s appearance drew the attention of many people.
“Did Yang Chen really come to the backstage?”
“Does he have that many Spirit Stones?”
The people were talking, and even Old man Huayun noticed Yang Chen.
At this moment, Yang Chen casually walked towards Old man Huayun with his hands behind his back.
