Chapter 2391 - 2370: Divine Venerable and Fairy
"Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable!"
Elder Chu was greatly excited and continued to explain to Lin Feng, "Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable is the island master of Spirit Butterfly Island and possesses a very unique Seven-Colored Demon Butterfly. Spirit Butterfly Island is a special existence, and the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable is extremely wealthy. I estimate that only he can immediately take out enough Yuan Stones, or even more. Perhaps you didn’t know that the Shenyun Immortal Tea you once drank is a specialty of Spirit Butterfly Island!"
"Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, is he a man or a woman?" Lin Feng’s eyes lit up upon hearing this, but he still pursued the question. If he were a man, it would be unlikely for him to be so interested in Scarlet Beauty, yet the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable seemed almost feminine, making Lin Feng uncertain.
"Hahaha... If Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable heard you say that, he would probably be furious!" Upon hearing Lin Feng, Elder Chu laughed heartily, "This Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable is indeed a man, having been famous for tens of thousands of years, establishing a transcendent entity like Spirit Butterfly Island. Previously, his Taoist title was Divine Butterfly Divine Venerable; then about two hundred years ago, he had a daughter, and the Taoist title of Colorful Butterfly was changed by his daughter. This Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable dearly loves his daughter; if he knew of Scarlet Beauty, he would definitely acquire it."
"In that case, it’s possible." Lin Feng nodded immediately upon Elder Chu’s words. If the situation is as Elder Chu described, then the Scarlet Beauty in the Heavenly Origin Treasure Box would certainly sell at a good price. Nevertheless, he considered another matter: how would the transaction take place? So he asked, "How to contact the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable and transact?"
"About contact, I’ve had the chance to meet the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable once and have his contact coordinates, but I’m unsure if he still remembers me. If I send a message over, would he believe it..." Elder Chu responded awkwardly upon hearing Lin Feng. It is a powerhouse at the Divine Venerable level, an exalted presence. He can use the contact coordinates to reach out via the Exquisite Jade Heart Tower within the auction house, but the specifics he cannot guarantee because he cannot verify the authenticity of Scarlet Beauty; only if Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable were to come personally could it be confirmed.
At this point, Elder Chu looked to Lin Feng and continued, "If Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable is interested and wants to come personally, I’ll arrange for you to transact on-site, and I’ll guarantee it in my capacity as an elder dispatched by the Myriad Gods Tower."
This arrangement is also to avoid personal issues so Lin Feng wouldn’t think he’s gaining any private benefits, thus becoming a middleman, making everything straightforward and the situation confidential, not letting others know.
"Agreed, then let’s await Elder Chu’s good news." Having heard this, Lin Feng nodded as it seemed the current best approach, so he responded and prepared to leave.
"Good, once there’s confirmed news, I’ll notify Taoist Friend Lin immediately." With a smile continuously on his face, Elder Chu rose to send him off, knowing that if this matter is handled well, not only Lin Feng would benefit, but also he as the intermediary. On one hand, he could strengthen his relationship with Lin Feng, making Lin Feng a strong aid for his constant advancement, and on the other, he can establish a relationship with the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, forming ties with a powerhouse; not everyone can do this!
After sending off Lin Feng, Elder Chu immediately busied himself with communicating this matter with the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable. Originally considering using the Exquisite Jade Heart Tower for contact, after much thought found it unsuitable, finally a thought struck him, he composed a letter in his capacity as Myriad Gods Tower’s dispatched elder of Xucheng, and sent it out via Ultra-Electric Messenger Pigeon...
Lin Feng, accompanied by Tao Tao, left the auction house, and Tao Tao’s eyes reddened looking at Lin Feng!
"Brother Lin, do you have Scarlet Beauty?" Tao Tao was genuinely a bit upset; though she was previously an ordinary God’s Citizen, she also knew of the existence of Scarlet Beauty, something all women yearn for. Yet Lin Feng had such an item and didn’t offer it to her but intended to auction it instead, making her truly hurt. Holding it in until now was already her limit!
"Yes, but I obtained it before meeting you and your grandfather." Lin Feng found Tao Tao’s anger amusing and then said, "I’ve already set aside some for you. Don’t worry. You’re not yet at the most beautiful age; once you are, I’ll let you drink to your heart’s content!"
"Really?" Tao Tao immediately smiled upon hearing Lin Feng, realizing she had misunderstood Lin Feng, feeling extremely awkward. She doubted Lin Feng’s care, which was indeed her error...
"Of course it’s true; back then even this beast indulged in a bucket of it. If I can enjoy it, how could I overlook you?" Tangyuan, perched on Lin Feng’s shoulder, scoffed and added, "I thought you were smart; how can you be so silly at the crucial moment, doubting the boss. Despite all the boss’s care for you!"
With Tangyuan saying this, Tao Tao was momentarily speechless. All women care about these things; her urgency wasn’t unreasonable. But just as she thought about it, her eyes turned to Tangyuan, "Tangyuan, you’re a Demon Beast, why consume Scarlet Beauty? You can’t beautify!"
"Why do you care? Sooner or later this beast will transform, and when that time comes..." Tangyuan said but stopped, using his little paws to cover his mouth, thinking he almost let slip, thankful for stopping in time!
"Transform into what?" Tao Tao was immediately interested, asked but no matter how she pressed, Tangyuan wouldn’t say.
"Alright, stop messing around. Let’s find a place to settle, and once the Yuan Stones are ready, we can move on to the next step." Lin Feng, breaking up the banter between Tangyuan and Tao Tao, noted that just as people have secrets, so do beasts. Seeking those secrets is inherently inappropriate.
After saying this, Lin Feng took Tao Tao along to find an inn, rented a small courtyard, and settled down.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed. During this time, Lin Feng did nothing, spending his days accompanying Tao Tao and Tangyuan shopping around, knowing that once busy, such opportunities become scarce.
In the meantime, Lin Feng visited several times a shop selling elixirs, yet the old proprietor kept tight-lipped, to which Lin Feng wasn’t in a hurry. Time was aplenty, so he wasn’t worried.
Otherwise, Lin Feng did nothing else, spending quiet moments in his room perusing the alchemy books Elder Chu had procured for him, occasionally simulating alchemy processes in his mind, repeatedly refining his exclusive elixir...
......
Within the auction house, Elder Chu was inspecting when suddenly approached by someone who said two people came for him. Initially, he thought it was Lin Feng and Tao Tao, so he went to greet them, yet was surprised they were not Lin Feng and Tao Tao, but an old man with an almost celestial aura and a beautiful woman with a fairy-like presence. He was momentarily stunned, almost unable to believe his eyes, rooted to the spot!
The old man looked at Elder Chu, smilingly said, "Little Chu, what? Don’t recognize me?"
"Col... Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, you... you should have notified me of your arrival, I would have come to welcome you!" Upon hearing the old man, Elder Chu suddenly reacted, hurriedly explaining; even now he felt like dreaming, unexpectedly the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable just arrived like this, making it hard to accept.
"Never mind, after receiving your letter, this girl saw it and insisted on coming along. We hurried during the trip to finally arrive here." The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable replied smilingly looking at Elder Chu’s anxious demeanor, accustomed to such situations long ago.
"Uncle Chu, where is the Scarlet Beauty? I want to see it now!" The Spirit Butterfly Fairy, beside the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable, smiled and said, not caring about anything else, focused solely on Scarlet Beauty, urgently wanting to see it immediately.
"This is Spirit Butterfly Fairy, right? Scarlet Beauty isn’t with me, I’m just the middleman. Please, both of you, come inside. I will contact the owner of Scarlet Beauty right away." Elder Chu, hearing Spirit Butterfly Fairy, promptly smiled and replied, graciously inviting them into the auction house’s VIP room, using a Communication Talisman Treasure to contact Lin Feng.
While waiting for Lin Feng, the Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable and Elder Chu chatted.
"Little Chu, how much of Scarlet Beauty are we speaking about this time?" The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable looked at Elder Chu and asked, this being the primary concern.
"Divine Venerable, the quantity of Scarlet Beauty is indeed substantial, otherwise I wouldn’t have dared to contact you. It should be above four hundred bottles, if not more!" Elder Chu responded earnestly.
"Above four hundred bottles?"
"Heavens! So much?"
The Colorful Butterfly Divine Venerable and Spirit Butterfly Fairy were then completely stunned, never expecting this amount of Scarlet Beauty. They knew how rare Scarlet Beauty was, being produced in the nests of Red Needle Bee Beasts, even ordinary Divine Kings are helpless unless Divine Venerable intervenes, but by then the nests would be leveled by other Divine Kings. Yet even so, a single nest might only yield a hundred and eighty bottles, and now Elder Chu declares over four hundred at once; how could they not be astonished?
Moreover, it’s rare to see more than ten bottles auctioned in the market; this overwhelmed them both to the point of disbelief, and if not heard personally, they’d think it a mistake!
"Divine Venerable, Fairy, rest assured, I’ve checked; it’s genuinely Scarlet Beauty, no fraud, and the quantity is accurate. If uncertain, how dare I have you both come here!" Seeing their disbelief, Elder Chu explained, understanding their shock. Just as when he first saw Lin Feng’s Scarlet Beauty, it was the same as theirs...
