Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Terrifying Sky-High Price!

Originally, everyone thought that Ye Feng had merely delayed Elder Xu's illness and saved him from danger.

But, they never imagined that Ye Feng would actually cure Elder Xu, making him completely recover.

What kind of terrifying means, what kind of miraculous medical skill, would be needed to achieve this?

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

"Is this the power of the Ghost Gate Divine Needle? Completely healed?"

"This… isn't this too terrifying? Really cured all the illness?"

"This is a true miracle healer; we're not even worthy to carry his shoes."

As for those so-called miracle healers, when they saw Ye Feng, they showed expressions of worship, extremely shocked.

In fact, just one word from Ye Feng, and they would willingly kneel down to apprentice under him.

"Little brother's kindness to our Xu Family, is unforgettable for us all." As for Xu Teng and others, in shock, even their way of addressing Ye Feng changed.

"This is my little brother, you need to call him uncle." But these words were overheard by Elder Xu, who had just been pushed out of the examination room, and he quickly corrected them.

Indeed, before, Elder Xu had immediately felt a kinship with Ye Feng, calling him a little brother.

Now, Ye Feng had cured Elder Xu's illness, leading Elder Xu to confirm this bond further; he indeed wanted to be close like brothers with Ye Feng.

"I…" Xu Teng and others were dumbfounded at Elder Xu's words.

Having to call someone as young as Ye Feng uncle was something they truly couldn't do.

What if others found out? Wouldn't they lose face?

"Damn!" Xu Kun saw this scene and shouted, giving Ye Feng a thumbs-up, secretly praising Ye Feng's incredible prowess.

"Little brother, come over here and chat with this old man, would you?" After seeing everyone's dumbfounded expressions, Xu Tong warmly waved at Ye Feng.

"It's my honor." Ye Feng smiled and nodded, coming behind Xu Tong to push him.

The two chatted from artifacts to commerce, and from commerce to national affairs.

Talking about everything under the sun, Xu Tong truly treated Ye Feng like his own little brother, showing more affection to Ye Feng than to his own son.

Others could only silently follow behind, listening to their conversation.

Seeing this, everyone regarded Ye Feng with higher esteem, realizing they must always treat Ye Feng with utmost respect in the future, never provoking him.

Otherwise, if they made the old man unhappy, they would surely face his wrath.

At this moment, Elder Xu suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Right! Could I see the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad again?"

Actually, he mentioned this in hopes of securing an opportunity for his disobedient third son to purchase the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad.

Although the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad merely belonged to Shen Wansan's legend, who could say for sure it doesn't possess such magic?

"This…." Ye Feng awkwardly laughed and then replied embarrassingly, "Earlier at the auction, I spent twenty million of Xu Kun's money and pawned the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad in his hands."

"What?" Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Elder Xu angrily shouted towards the back, "Xu Hong, bring your ungrateful son over here."

Seeing Xu Tong's furious expression, Xu Kun secretly felt doomed and prepared to sneak away.

"Run! Can you get away?" But just as he thought of this, a fair hand grabbed his ear.

"Sis, you're my real sister, can you be gentler?" Feeling pain in his ear, Xu Kun quickly wailed.

Xu Zixi harshly admonished, "Daring to deceive even our family's savior, you deserve it!"

"I'm innocent!" Xu Kun lamented, feeling he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Soon, Xu Kun was brought to Elder Xu's presence.

"You scoundrel, kneel!" Elder Xu stomped, furious.

Luckily, Ye Feng supported him, or it would have pulled at his wound.

It was all due to those incompetent doctors, who claimed they were rescuing Elder Xu but instead almost cost him his life.

Seeing his grandfather so enraged, Xu Kun obediently knelt down.

Next to him, Xu Hong pulled Xu Kun's ear, scolding, "You little brat! Using my money, and you dare to pawn our stuff? You really have some nerve, return it to him."

He did this to ease Xu Tong's anger.

"It's not his fault, it was my decision, and I also got something better at the auction." Seeing Xu Kun in such plight, Ye Feng explained.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng took out the Tianhuang Seal he acquired.

"Is this… the Tianhuang Seal? Whose seal is this?" Seeing the Tianhuang Seal in Ye Feng's hand, Elder Xu asked in surprise.

"The Qianlong Seal, engraved with 'Treasure of the Wise Qianlong'." Ye Feng answered truthfully.

"Can I have a look?" Hearing it's the Qianlong Seal, Xu Tong was even more excited.

"Of course!" Without a second thought, Ye Feng handed it to Elder Xu.

Taking the seal, Elder Xu appraised it, confirming its identity, "Indeed the Qianlong Seal, this item is extremely valuable."

Simultaneously, Xu Kun retrieved the Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad, handing both treasures back to Ye Feng.

These two are rare treasures, captivating Xu Hong's interest.

Seeing Xu Hong seemingly interested, Elder Xu smiled and asked, "Old third, any thoughts?"

"Yes!" Xu Hong nodded, "Is this truly Shen Wansan's Treasure-Collecting Golden Toad?"

Elder Xu nodded firmly, "Indeed! Legend has it Shen Wansan became wealthy only because he possessed it."

"Then little brother, are you willing to sell?" Xu Hong asked nervously.

"Call him Little Uncle." But before he could finish, Elder Xu interrupted.

"Li—Little Uncle." Though hesitant, Xu Hong still managed to call out.

This made Ye Feng feel somewhat flattered.

Who was Xu Hong? In Jiangcheng, he was a terrifying existence, known as the underground king of Jiangcheng.

Yet, even such a formidable person had to call Ye Feng Uncle; this was not a treatment everyone could receive.

"Actually, there's no need; just call me Xiao Feng." Though feeling smug inside, Ye Feng courteously suggested.

Indeed, asking such outstanding figures to call him Uncle was truly difficult for them.

"That's not appropriate!" Though Xu Hong wanted to, seeing Elder Xu nearby, he quickly shook his head.

"How about this, since you're interested, just make an offer." Ye Feng smiled and invited.

Ye Feng originally intended to sell it, and selling it to Xu Hong could deepen their relationship.

"These two items…." Faced with these two peerless treasures, Xu Hong was in a predicament.

Both items were extremely valuable, with both minimum and maximum limits, and if Ye Feng offered a price, it'd be fine, but asking him to offer one was truly difficult.

At the critical moment, Elder Xu spoke, quoting an exceedingly high price, directly startling Ye Feng….
