Chapter 154 The Digimon's Responding Again
Actually, spending more money isn't necessarily a bad thing; in some ways, it's Ning Fengzhi's most tactful trait.
This was the inevitable result of Ning Fengzhi's overconfidence and the information asymmetry between the two sides.
He didn't know exactly how much money Xiao Yan had, but after all, Xiao Yan had disappeared after quoting 650,000, which gave Ning Fengzhi, who was sitting in the private room, two pieces of information.
Firstly, Xiao Yan definitely doesn't have much money left. After all, the previous two items had already been used up, and the bid for the embryo had reached over 700,000, yet there was still no movement from Box 3.
Secondly, Ning Fengzhi knew that Xiao Yan wanted to bid on this item, as Xiao Yan possessed a privilege card granted by the Heaven Dou royal family, which allowed the royal family to pay for an item on his behalf.
This was a normal auction, and there weren't actually that many items up for grabs, but each and every one of them, if taken out of context, could be considered one of the top ten treasures in any sect.
However, Xiao Yan only took a fancy to a piece of Heavenly Fire Refined Iron. Rather than saying that he could only afford this piece of metal, it would be more accurate to say that his standards were too high. He didn't even look at the other items in the auction.
You might be wondering why Xiao Yan bought the Netherworld Armor for over two million, but in reality, this armor was more of an optional item for him, like something he had to buy just to appease someone whose coupon was about to expire.
Xiao Yan felt the same way. Since the Heavenly Dou royal family was paying for it, he felt it would be a waste not to buy them a valuable item.
Therefore, in Ning Fengzhi's view, who was extremely shrewd and experienced, Xiao Yan only took a liking to two items at the entire auction.
Although it's unknown whether Xiao Yan borrowed money from his daughter when he bought the first piece of refined iron, he definitely wanted this last piece, which was his most prized possession, but couldn't afford it. Buying it for him would surely make him owe a favor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi hadn't expected that Xiao Yan would announce a price of 800,000 just before the auctioneer's hammer fell, while his own bid of 1 million had effectively killed the auction, leading to this farcical situation.
"Uncle Ning, you're forcing me to give you the method to break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda right now." Xiao Yan said helplessly. Ning Fengzhi had no use for this embryo. Everyone was smart. This kind of thing that would only be of some use after ten thousand years could not keep up with the changes of time.
Ning Fengzhi had taken the picture for him, so there was no need for him to pretend to be confused. He was being frank with Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, was somewhat moved. She had thought her father was just joking, that Xiao Yan knew the key to breaking through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was utter nonsense. Her father was already a genius of the sect, and could only ever reach the peak of Soul Saint.
The reason she was so friendly to Xiao Yan was mainly because of the hidden weapons he provided, and because he did possess a level of knowledge and charm that his peers, and even the men in the Heaven Dou Academy, did not have.
But now, listening to Xiao Yan speak so closely, she, who possesses the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, is born with a heart of glass, and she actually realized that Xiao Yan was not joking.
Doesn't this mean that the father has good judgment, and that Xiao Yan is the hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Masters?
Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Yan with a complicated expression.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and patted Xiao Yan on the shoulder.
"Nephew Xiao, you jest. We've never settled the score with you for gifting our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School a hundred hidden weapons. Don't even mention techniques like distraction control and ring fusion. Although they are considered secret techniques, we teach them to any disciple of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who is gifted. Those who are dull-witted simply cannot learn them. It has always been our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that owes you a debt of gratitude. Now, I can finally rightfully repay that debt to you."
Ning Fengzhi's smile remained unchanged, seemingly genuine rather than just a polite remark. He lifted the glass bottle containing the snow wolf beast embryo on the table with one hand, then supported the base with the other, and handed it to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan looked at the embryo worth one million and took it with both hands. Although Dugu Bo had just used his name to bid for a treasure armor worth two million, this was the first time he had ever held the real thing in his hands.
However, just as Xiao Yan reached out to touch the snow wolf beast embryo in his hand, he felt the Divine Plan that he had clipped to his waist begin to vibrate uncontrollably. Startled, Xiao Yan hurriedly took out the Ruyi Treasure Pouch and put the bottle worth one million into it.
Then the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine at his waist stopped moving, causing Xiao Yan to breathe a long sigh of relief.
If something unexpected happens here, it will be difficult for me to explain anything to the Ning family father and daughter, since our Digimon and your Soul Beasts are not from the same plane.
"Xiao Yan————"
Noticing Xiao Yan's unusual behavior, Ning Rongrong spoke up to express her concern, but was then silenced by Ning Fengzhi's glance.
Ning Fengzhi noticed the vibration in Xiao Yan's waist, but since the other party didn't mention it, they shouldn't ask any further questions.
Ning Rongrong nodded in understanding.
"Nephew Xiao, I was worried about why you would carry such an item with you, and I was thinking that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would keep it for you. I didn't expect you to have a storage device that can hold goods." Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed some surprise, after all, even he did not have such a treasure.
In the Douluo Continent, it's quite easy to find soul tools for storage. As long as you're a noble family or a powerful clan, you'll always find some. However, these can only hold inanimate objects, and the storage space varies greatly depending on their rarity.
But Xiao Yan actually has a storage device that can hold living creatures. If it is large enough, wouldn't it be possible to fit an entire army inside?
Ning Fengzhi found his own wild idea amusing, but a nagging feeling lingered in his heart: if it were the young Xiao Yan—
"I was fortunate to receive this from a senior, and today I can say that I have received Uncle Ning's kindness." Xiao Yan bowed and thanked him, and after thinking for a while, he spoke.
"What I told you before was that I might be able to break through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda after I reached the Soul King level. But now, there is a safer method, but there can only be one person who can do it." Xiao Yan said the words he had already thought of.
He initially said he would wait until he reached the Soul King level, but that was just to trick the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School into protecting him. Now that he's heading to Star Luo, he might break through there in no time. Right now, it's a good time to change his story to someone more reliable.
Anyway, I only have one Kira tulip plant of suitable age.
"Ah, this."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter Ning Rongrong with disbelief, while she looked back with hopeful joy.
They could all tell how credible Xiao Yan's words were. Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly, realizing that his move to curry favor had truly been the right one.
"Xiao, nephew Xiao, can there only be one?" Ning Fengzhi suppressed his excitement and asked in a calm tone.
Of course, the glint in his eyes betrayed his feelings at that moment.
Equally excited was Xiao Yan, who spoke these words with a smile, because the moment he made full contact with the Snow Wolf Beast embryo, he finally understood why the Digivice had asked him to obtain it.
