The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 355: Master Jing Xuan's Astonishment!

Before long, Ling Feng and his companions arrived at the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce in the western district of the imperial capital.

To conceal his identity, Ling Feng once again donned a cloak, while Yue Yunlan did not have such a habit.

Given her status, at least within the imperial capital, it was unlikely that anyone would dare to target her, so there was no need for her to hide her identity.

"Sir, Miss, are you here to purchase medicinal pills, herbs, or weapons?"

Seeing Ling Feng and his group enter the chamber, an attendant immediately approached them warmly and inquired.

When he saw Yue Yunlan's peerless beauty, his gaze wavered and he was unable to meet her eyes directly. He lowered his head, visibly uneasy. This was understandable; Yue Yunlan, with her ice-cold goddess demeanor, could make most men feel inferior and unable to lift their heads in her powerful presence.

"I have a few items I wish to entrust to Tianmeng for auction. Could you please take us to Master Jing Xuan at the appraisal center?"

Ling Feng smiled faintly and presented his Supreme VIP Card.

"Master Jing Xuan?" The attendant was momentarily stunned. However, upon seeing the VIP card in Ling Feng's hand, he immediately understood. This distinguished guest was a regular and likely had some connection with Master Jing Xuan.

"Understood, sir. Please follow me."

The attendant instructed other staff members and then led Ling Feng and Yue Yunlan towards the back hall. After passing through a somewhat narrow corridor, they arrived at an exquisite courtyard.

Ordinary appraisers had to work in the appraisal room, but someone of Master Jing Xuan's status had his own private courtyard. Not just anyone could have their items appraised by him.

The attendant knocked on the door and called out, "Master Jing Xuan, a guest wishes to auction some valuable items. Do you have the time to appraise and price them?"

The door opened, and a boy of about eleven or twelve stepped out. He nodded at the attendant and then looked at Ling Feng with a maturity beyond his years and said, "My master says he is available now. Please, follow me inside!"

Ling Feng smiled and followed the boy into the courtyard. There, they saw Master Jing Xuan, a slightly chubby man with white hair and a beard, lounging comfortably in a rocking chair and sipping tea.

When Master Jing Xuan turned and saw Ling Feng and his companions, he nearly spit out his tea. He quickly jumped up from the chair and bowed to Yue Yunlan. "So it's the young lady of the Cangqiong Sect! My apologies for not welcoming you from afar!"

Master Jing Xuan was quite renowned in the appraisal world and had attended the birthday celebration of the Cangqiong Sect's leader, so he naturally recognized Yue Yunlan.

The young boy, seeing his master's respectful demeanor, swallowed nervously. He felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him as he recalled his earlier arrogance.

"Master Jing Xuan, there's no need for formalities. Actually, the one who needs your help today is this gentleman beside me," Yue Yunlan said with a faint smile.

"Oh, I see." Master Jing Xuan quickly instructed the boy to pour tea and then smiled broadly. "Miss Yue, please have a seat."

"Master Jing Xuan, it's been a while. Don't you recognize me?" Ling Feng asked with a slight smile.

Gasp...

Hearing Ling Feng's voice, Master Jing Xuan took in a sharp breath. Staring at the cloaked man, he suddenly remembered. This is the mysterious young man who had previously brought twelve ancient medicinal pills for appraisal!

"It's you, Ling Feng!"

Master Jing Xuan started to sweat. What would bring in such distinguished guests?

"It's been a while since I've visited Tianmeng. My master specifically asked me to have some treasures appraised by you," Ling Feng said with a smile.

"Oh? More rare ancient medicinal pills? Are you selling them directly to us this time?"

Master Jing Xuan asked, his face full of smiles. Although the last auction had been disrupted, he knew how precious the pills brought by Ling Feng were.

"Not medicinal pills this time."

Ling Feng shook his head. He then took out a porcelain bottle filled with water from the Elemental Realm from his storage spirit ring and placed it on the table. "Master Jing Xuan, this is a valuable item my master entrusted me to auction at Tianmeng. Please evaluate its worth."

"Oh? Let me have a look."

Hearing that the treasure was brought by the same mysterious elder as last time, Master Jing Xuan's interest was piqued. He immediately sat up straight and carefully opened the porcelain bottle.

Instantly, a rich water attribute spiritual energy overflowed from the bottle. The dense spiritual energy almost materialized into a light blue dragon that rose from the bottle and headed straight for Master Jing Xuan's face.

"Gasp!"

Master Jing Xuan inhaled sharply and quickly capped the bottle, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

"Master, what's wrong?"

The young boy walked up to Master Jing Xuan, waving a hand in front of his face and tilting his head in confusion. He had never seen his master so flustered.

"W-What kind of water is this?" Master Jing Xuan's eyes gleamed as he stared at the porcelain bottle. "Ling Feng, please forgive this old man's ignorance, but could you tell me where your master found such incredibly pure holy water?"

"Uh... it's not convenient to disclose that."

Ling Feng's tone was calm, but inwardly he was ecstatic. The ordinary river water from the Elemental Realm was regarded by Master Jing Xuan as holy water!

This is a great opportunity!

"I see." Master Jing Xuan sighed, feeling a bit disappointed. "The grade of this holy water is extremely high, but with only one bottle, its effects are limited, greatly reducing its value. However, if there were three or more bottles, I dare say its price could rival that of the Dragon Blood Sacred Fruit to be auctioned in three days!"

"What do you mean?" Ling Feng was taken aback. Even he hadn't expected this river water to be so precious.

Yue Yunlan and Qiao Qiao exchanged a look of shock.

This holy water was something Ling Feng had in abundance. He even had enough to fill several rivers!

"Ling Feng, this water contains a trace of water attributed rule-based power! Such rule-based power can barely be touched even by experts of the Spiritual Sea Realm. Although my cultivation is modest, I still have some discernment."

Master Jing Xuan stroked his long beard and continued, "This holy water contains the rule-based power of the water attribute. I wouldn't mistake that. However, this trace of rule-based power is extremely thin, almost to the point of being worthless. That's why I said that auctioning just one bottle would significantly reduce its value."

Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and then took out four more porcelain bottles from his storage spirit ring. With a slight smile, he said, "Master, my esteemed teacher actually sent me with five bottles of holy water to auction off."
