How can I have a heart of a demonic god in my body?!

Chapter 0422: Giving Gifts



The entire auction hall was abuzz because of Chen Yu's latest move.

He went to the lengths of offending Lv Tiezu to bid an astonishing thirty thousand Grade Essence Stones for a rare material, only to then give it to another woman.

Many men sighed at Chen Yu's boldness and generosity, while most women were captivated by his actions.

At first, Ye Luofeng didn't think much of it, but hearing the various comments with her keen ears, she blushed even more and acted very unnaturally, unable to look Chen Yu in the eye.

Beside her, the Prince of Yan's eyes were wide open, and his mouth was agape, standing still as if he was a wooden stake.

He had bragged boastfully, but when Ye Luofeng truly needed help, he had backed down.

And at this moment, Chen Yu stepped in with a shocking bid to snatch up the item and give it to Ye Luofeng.

Such a stark contrast made the Prince of Yan feel utterly humiliated, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He even felt that he had set the stage for Chen Yu, helping to foster a relationship between Chen Yu and Ye Luofeng.

"Stay calm, stay calm. A woman like Ye Luofeng isn't easy to win over. I can only look for other opportunities."

The Prince of Yan took a deep breath, consoling himself internally.

At the same time, another surprising thought occurred to him: Chen Yu had just spent thirty thousand Grade Essence Stones in one go.

There surely couldn't be many Essence Stones left in Chen Yu's hands, so the deal for the Fire Scale Beast might still be possible.

Next up for auction was a puppet at the Qi Transformation Innate level.

Puppets, like Spirit Pets, are excellent aids, valued by many.

"Seven thousand!"

Chen Yu called out a bid casually.

Immediately, a wave of complaints arose from the crowd.

Though Chen Yu's recent behavior had stoked a flurry of excitement and gossip in the auction, at this event, he remained an ominous presence; as soon as he placed a bid, Lv Tiezu would engage in a bidding war, drastically increasing the price.

The only ones who were probably pleased were the auctioneers.

"Elder Chen, I'll let you have this item," said Lv Tiezu, choosing not to escalate the bidding blindly and timing his withdrawal.

At this point, the Qi Transformation Innate puppet reached eight thousand four hundred Essence Stones and was won by Chen Yu.

"This time I have returned to Chu Country, I haven't brought anything with me, so this puppet can be given to a former comrade from my sect," said Chen Yu, as if it were the most natural thing to do.

He had already made his decision.

In the upcoming auctions, he would try his best to trap Lv Tiezu and the Prince of Yan.

If he accidentally ended up with the bid items, he would give them to comrades from his sect or his Master, in hopes that they might survive the great battle ahead.

As for the Sword Leaf Grass he had just given to Ye Luofeng, its quality was high, and ordinary people couldn't afford it, so he gave it to her.

After obtaining the puppet, Chen Yu thought for a moment; Chen Ying'er had already received plenty of benefits, and his senior brother Chang Xuan had a Guiyuan Realm sword talisman as a trump card—Chen Yu decided to give the puppet to Mu Xueqing.

When the puppet was presented to Mu Xueqing, she was not too excited or thrilled, because Chen Yu had previously given an item worth thirty thousand yuan stones to Ye Luofeng.

During the following auctions, Chen Yu made bids for most items and occasionally shilled for his own auctioned pieces.

"Damn it, that guy is bidding again?"

"How does he still have Essence Stones?"

Sometimes, the items would end up with Chen Yu, at other times they would go to Lv Tiezu.

"This rare material, leaning towards the mental aspect, I'll give it to Nangong Li."

Chen Yu again gifted the item he had won.

Inside the auction hall, the disciples of the Yunyue Sect cheered.

Chen Yu's actions made them feel the love and care the higher-ups of the Yunyue Sect had for their disciples.

After taking the demonic path, Chen Yu's temperament changed, becoming more decisive, aloof, and belligerent.

At this moment, he realized that occasionally performing good deeds was also quite nice.

What meant little to him could be life-changing for others.

Across from him, Lv Tiezu watched Chen Yu call out bids nonchalantly and give away auctioned items to others, his expression darkening immensely.

"Damn it, where does this kid get so many Essence Stones from?"

Lv Tiezu was extremely frustrated.

Because of competing with Chen Yu, he had wasted at least forty to fifty thousand Grade Essence Stones from the start of the auction.

Yet he had wasted so many Essence Stones without achieving the effect he wanted.

At this time, Lv Tiezu started to entertain thoughts of withdrawal.

Coincidentally, the Prince of Yan also no longer wished to waste Essence Stones, and their agreement came to a halt.

In the Crown Prince's view, Chen Yu had spent nearly a hundred thousand Grade Essence Stones thus far, and there surely couldn't be much left in his hands. His objective had been achieved.

"Next up for auction is a tattered map."

Every auction would typically feature such items, with some going unnoticed while others fetched high prices.

This time, Chen Yu did not place a bid—after all, if he won it, it would be useless to him and a gift of no use to others.

The subsequent auction items were diverse, a variety of things.

Chen Yu threw out bids here and there.

When he noticed that Lv Tiezu was no longer bidding against him, Chen Yu also took a brief rest.

Many Qi Transformation Realm experts breathed a sigh of relief as they could finally bid freely.

However, as the auction progressed, it was reaching the climax of the final items.

"Brother Chen, the auction is nearing its end. The upcoming items are the truly valuable treasures. How many Essence Stones do you still have in hand? If you lack Essence Stones, I could lend you some," the Prince of Yan hinted.

"That's not something you need to worry about," Chen Yu said flatly.

Originally, he had twenty-five to twenty-six thousand Essence Stones in his hands, and many items on his behalf had been sold off, earning an astonishing amount of Essence Stones.

One could say, in a place like Chu Country, it wasn't easy for Chen Yu to run out of Essence Stones.

In a short while, another rare material required by the Red Flame King went up for auction and was forcefully seized by Chen Yu.

"Next up is the 'Bishui Divine Marrow Stone.' This exquisite treasure can solidify and promote cultivation in the Guiyuan Realm and is also usable to break through bottlenecks."

Although the description was rather simple, it was enough to move all the Guiyuan Realm experts present.

After reaching the Guiyuan Realm, advancing even a single step was as difficult as ascending the heavens, and this exquisite treasure could promote cultivation, especially for Water Path cultivators, with an even stronger effect.

"The starting bid is ten thousand Grade Essence Stones, each increment not less than five hundred Grade Essence Stones."

The starting bid for the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone was the same as the previous Green Water Technique, but this stone was bound to be hotter than the former.

"Eleven thousand!"

"Thirteen thousand!"

The price of the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone rapidly rose, reaching twenty thousand in an instant, making it a distant dream for the ordinary cultivators in the Qi Transformation Realm.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

Gongyang Mountain made a bid.

His strength was the weakest among the Three Sect Supreme Elders, and if he could obtain this stone, his strength would greatly increase, at the very least, he wouldn't need to fear Lv Tiezu like before.

"Twenty-two thousand!"

An elder from the Lingjian Sect who was in the Guiyuan Realm made a bid.

"Twenty-three thousand!"

The enchanting woman from the Blood Moon Organization also joined in.

"Twenty-five thousand!"

Lv Tiezu's bid was shockingly high.

This stone was exactly his main target.

Having been stuck at the Early Guiyuan Realm Peak for a long time, if he could obtain this stone, his cultivation would advance, and there was even a possibility of breaking through to the Middle Stage of Guiyuan Realm.

"Twenty-seven thousand!"

The Prince of Yan joined the bidding war.

At that moment, the auction site boiled like fire.

Nearly all the top powerhouses of the Three Kingdoms fiercely contested for it.

Before long, the price of the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone broke through thirty thousand!

"Truly explosive."

Chen Yu couldn't help but remark.

If he had broken through to the Guiyuan Realm at this moment, he would have also made a move for this item.

Now there was no need, as possessing it would only make him the target of envy.

After reaching thirty thousand, the number of bidders for the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone was halved, and each price increase wasn't as crazy as before.

"Forty thousand!"

The Prince of Yan called out an astonishing price, causing many in the Guiyuan Realm to hold back.

Although the stone could increase one's cultivation level, how much it could increase was unknown. Moreover, it was more effective for cultivators of the Water Path, and there were few such cultivators among those present in the Guiyuan Realm.

Still, several people continued to bid, including the Water Moon Sect Master and the enchanting woman from the Blood Moon Organization.

"Forty-two thousand!"

This time, after the Prince of Yan made his bid, it was almost the final hammer blow, with no one else speaking up.

"The Crown Prince really has deep pockets, overpowering everyone."

Chen Yu praised.

In reality, the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone was not worth this price, but under the current situation of the Three Kingdoms at war, strength signified status, and it also provided greater security for one's life. In addition, with the strong powers of the Three Kingdoms all gathered together, various factors had driven up the price of this item.

"Hehe!"

The Prince of Yan chuckled dryly, winning the stone from the hands of many mighty figures, feeling the pressure as well. If the price had been any higher, he would have had to give up.

After the Bishui Divine Marrow Stone, the subsequent auction items kept the atmosphere at the auction lively.

"Three Origin Transformation Pills!"

The auctioneer barely introduced them, but everyone knew of the efficacy of the Origin Transformation Pills.

Who knows how many were stuck in the Qi Transformation Realm, unable to break through to the Guiyuan Realm, whereas the Origin Transformation Pills could increase the likelihood of breaking through.

Chen Yu had an Origin Transformation Pill, which was the reward for placing first in the academy competition, so he did not need it.

But Chen Yu planned to bid for one on behalf of Elder Mao.

Back in the Yunyue Sect, if it weren't for the protection of Mao Qiuyu, there would be no Chen Yu today.

The mark on the old man's face was still there, a scar left when he was hurt by Lv Tiezu while protecting Chen Yu.

"The starting bid for the first Origin Transformation Pill is six thousand lower Grade Essence Stones!"

The quality of the Origin Transformation Pill itself was not even as good as some other elixirs at the Guiyuan Realm level, but its use made its value extremely high.

"Seven thousand!"

"Eight thousand!"

"Ten thousand!"

The price of the Origin Transformation Pill continued to soar.

The Yunyue Sect Master, Water Moon Sect Master, Guardian Shangguan, and many other powerful figures all took part.

Those in the Guiyuan Realm also made bids, possibly to help others compete.

In the end, the first Origin Transformation Pill was acquired by the Iron Sword Sect for twenty-eight thousand.

Then came the auction of the second Origin Transformation Pill.

It was then that Chen Yu made his move!

"Twenty thousand."

While others were still raising the price, Chen Yu directly bid twenty thousand.

"Twenty-one thousand!"

"Twenty-two thousand."

"Twenty-five thousand."

Chen Yu's aggressive bidding caused a sharp intake of breath among the crowd.

Chen Yu's generosity was already well known to everyone.

He had previously spent thirty thousand yuan stones in a bidding war and ended up giving the Sword Leaf Grass to Ye Luofeng.

It was not hard to imagine that if the competition continued, Chen Yu would be willing to pay an even higher price to acquire this Origin Transformation Pill.

After all, Chen Yu had now reached the Innate Peak and was preparing for his breakthrough to the Guiyuan Realm. For this pill, he would definitely spare no expense.

In the end, Chen Yu, with one move, outbid everyone else and acquired the second Origin Transformation Pill for twenty-five thousand.

However, the Origin Transformation Pill was then sent to the side of Elder Mao.

"Good heavens, that young man is gifting away his auction winnings again!"

"Isn't his cultivation reaching the Innate Peak, about to break through to the Guiyuan Realm? How can he afford to give this pill away?"

Inside the auction hall, many couldn't help but comment and criticize.

In the latter part of the auction, Chen Yu's various bids and gifts caused envy, jealousy, and irritation among the audience, thinking it was a wasteful extravagance even if he had too many yuan stones to handle.
