Chapter 2844: He even… the Feather God Tribe's divine feather…

The standard of five dishes and one soup has already made everyone present rack their brains.

Now Ye Zhangqing personally said that this meal has been increased to ten dishes and one soup, exactly doubled, and this attraction didn't just explode instantly.

For a moment, the several Qi family elders who had originally planned to give up had their thoughts become active again.

They could give up on five dishes and one soup, but ten dishes and one soup were worth continuing to fight for.

Although at the current price they basically don't have that many immortal crystals on them, they do have treasures.

That brat named Chen Jiu dares to pay with objects—what do these old fogeys have to be afraid of? Could it be that they'd still be outdone by a little punk?

As for that Heavenly Family scion, he had even less in mind—after all, he was just following Young Master Ye's orders.

No matter what price is called, he doesn't need to take responsibility himself, and there's absolutely no pressure.

Ye Zhangqing's appearance made the auction, which had originally been nearing its end, heat up again.

Seeing the crowd's eyes blaze up again, Ye Zhangqing didn't mind it.

The reason I personally showed up is entirely because of Chen Jiu.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Palace Celestial Official who knew the plan stood beside Ye Zhangqing and spoke softly.

"Young Master Ye, I've said that kid is fine—those immortal crystals on him were left by his father."

"How could an ordinary cultivator leave behind millions of immortal crystals, and still have so many treasures?"

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched as he said, "This just doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it."

It's so simple and obvious that anyone could see it at a glance—could this heavenly official really not understand? It's as if he'd been brainwashed.

That heavenly official's condition is definitely off, but exactly where the problem lies, Ye Zhangqing can't say for sure right now.

Since we can't find any problem with that heavenly official, we can only start with that brat named Chen Jiu.

This kid exudes strangeness inside and out.

After glancing at that heavenly official who still spoke confidently, Ye Zhangqing didn't answer, letting the facts speak for themselves.

Meanwhile, as Ye Zhangqing appeared, A Jiu also sensed the danger.

Although Ye Zhangqing's glance at him just now was quite normal, like he was just scanning the surroundings, he still keenly felt a scrutinizing tone in that gaze.

This guy is obviously suspicious of me.

Although with Ye Zhangqing's cultivation, it would be easier for him to use means to alter the other's perception than it would be for that heavenly official.

But for now, it's obviously not the time.

"Wait until the auction for this table of food is over; there should be a chance for private contact, and then we'll make our move……"

He was thinking quickly in his mind.

He hasn't been in the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens long, but he's heard quite a bit about Ye Zhangqing's name.

This shows that the person named Ye Zhangqing holds a not-low status among the Human Race.

If we start with him, although the risk is somewhat greater, once we succeed it will definitely be a great help for our subsequent actions.

Risk and opportunity absolutely coexist.

It's very dangerous, but if successful the reward would also be great; more importantly, one could still get to eat that divine feast—it's truly killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking this through, even though he knew the danger was great, A Jiu gritted his teeth and decided to give it a shot—worst case, he'd just run away.

He has a way to escape, but if he does flee, it would mean mission failure, and upon returning to his tribe he'd likely be held accountable by the Feather God Tribe.

However, at least he still has a backup plan, which also makes him considerably bolder.

Just as he thought of this, the Qi family elder beside him had already placed a bid.

He didn't have that many immortal crystals on him, so he likewise took out a batch of treasures to offset the price.

Seeing the Qi family elders who had just given up now rejoin the competition, A Jiu wasn't about to be outdone and quickly called out a bid.

As for Ye Zhangqing, he seemed oblivious to the few people's bidding, continuing to let Tianlin preside while he himself cooked the dishes for later.

As Ye Zhangqing moved, everyone's eyes were drawn to him, and the competition naturally became more intense.

Ye Zhangqing's on-site operation, without a doubt, directly got everyone all worked up.

A Jiu was no exception; especially as the aroma wafted out, his head felt like it had crashed, and all he could think about was eating.

This isn't some hallucination; it's Ye Zhangqing's unique method.

The dog system and I have come this far together, and this cooking skill has naturally undergone many changes.

One point is that, as long as Ye Zhangqing wants, certain specific dishes can have the ability to confuse people's minds.

Moreover, unlike those love potions or illusion arrays, there's hardly any way to resist them.

Before, Ye Zhangqing hardly ever used such methods—first, it wasn't necessary; second, he thought of himself as just a simple cook, and these things weren't up to him to do.

But today, for A Jiu's sake, he still had to resort to a few small tricks.

Not realizing they'd already been hit, A Jiu, the Qi family elders, and the other cultivators present all had red eyes.

Their minds were left only with appetite; each person had just one thought: they definitely had to eat this meal.

So the bidders were no longer just the Qi family elders; many other ordinary cultivators on the scene also joined the bidding.

If one person's immortal crystals aren't enough, they pool together—more people, greater strength.

For a moment the scene was extraordinarily lively, and at the same time the Qi family elders went all out.

They spared no treasures from their persons, showing a posture of smashing pots and selling iron just to eat this meal.

With such a scene, the price naturally kept soaring.

It quickly surpassed seven million immortal crystals—such a huge number that even in the history of the Immortal City Beyond the Heavens it has hardly occurred a few times.

Everyone got worked up, but Ye Zhangqing simply kept his head down and cooked his own meal.

Until A Jiu, with red eyes and gritted teeth, took out a silver-white feather and said in a low voice.

"This is the Feather God Tribe's divine feather, worth a fortune."

Huh???

As this silver-white feather appeared, a pure and inexplicable aura spread out.

Although everyone present had never seen this thing before, even if they didn't know what it was, they could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.

And upon seeing the Feather God Tribe's divine feather, Ye Zhangqing's heart jolted.

Well damn, this even blew his cover, and even the Feather God Tribe's divine feather came out—this is still called no problem?

He turned his head to glance at the similarly dazed heavenly official, and Ye Zhangqing spoke.

"The Feather God Tribe's divine feather has come out—is this also the inheritance his father left him? This is still called no problem?"

Upon hearing this, the heavenly official fell silent. Obviously, Ah Jiu's methods earlier had not involved this point, so when seeing the Feather God Tribe's divine feather, this heavenly official's reaction was normal.

An ordinary Human Race cultivator could possibly have a Feather God Tribe's divine feather? Forget him—even the Heavenly Palace doesn't have such a thing.
