Chapter 252: The Appearance of the Despicable Donkey!

"Only one hundred and eighty thousand? Two hundred thousand! These twelve ancient medicinal pills are a must-have for the Huo family!"

VIP seat number six immediately countered. At this moment, high-grade elemental stones seemed to be flying upwards as if they were worthless, with tens of thousands being added with each bid!

The higher the price went, the more Ling Feng felt the pain!

Such a loss!

A massive loss!

If he had entrusted those medicinal pills to the auction house for sale, although the procedures might have been more cumbersome, in the end, the auction house would have only taken a ten percent profit, leaving the rest for himself!

However, Yan Cangtian remained nonchalant, truly living up to his reputation as the boss of the Medicine Herb Garden. The boss among bosses!

"Two hundred and ten thousand!"

"Two hundred and twenty thousand!"

"..."

The prices surged wildly upward. Initially, there were occasional bids from five or six different voices, but later it escalated into a full-blown battle between just two parties.

Moreover, the bidding price had skyrocketed to a staggering three hundred and fifty thousand!

Gulp!

The sound of saliva being swallowed echoed one after another.

Maybe three hundred and fifty thousand high-grade elemental stones didn't sound particularly impressive, but when converted into crystal coins, it amounted to over one billion crystal coins!

Over one billion!

Even if you combined the earnings of some relatively well-established sects or clans over several years, it wouldn't come close to such a sum.

No wonder there had been a common saying since ancient times: Alchemists, they're all monsters!

However, just as those two old monsters were locked in an intense struggle, a sudden gust of black demonic wind swept through the auction hall.

Everyone struggled to keep their eyes open as black clouds swirled around the auctioneer. Then, they watched in shock as an unusually large mouth let out a deafening roar and quickly devoured the box containing the twelve medicinal pills.

That big mouth appeared entirely inhuman!

When the auctioneer regained his senses and realized the twelve medicinal pills had been snatched away, he moved to intervene, only to be abruptly kicked aside.

No, it wasn't a human foot that struck him, but a black, straight...

Donkey hoof!

"

Neigh...

"

Afterward, a raucous laughter filled the auction hall. Then, a long donkey tail emerged from under a voluminous black cloak. "Hahaha! Who would have thought I'd suddenly feel like testing my luck and end up devouring so many delicious medicinal pills?

Mmm,

they smell so fragrant and taste so sweet!"

As it spoke, the cloaked figure discarded its garment, revealing its true form!

A black donkey!

Though there may be thousands of donkeys in the world, nearly identical in appearance, there was only one as contemptible and audacious as this!

This fellow, after escaping from the Misty Ghost Forest last time, actually made its way all the way to the imperial capital and even dared to disguise itself in a cloak.

Unfortunately, its vile nature remained unchanged, as it dared to cause trouble at the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce's auction!

In its current state, the black donkey sported a short skirt, presumably stolen from somewhere, wrapped around its waist to conceal its lower body. Hanging all over its body were strings of miscellaneous gourds, each item stolen along its journey. Inside these gourds were medicinal pills, exotic beverages, and countless oddities.

Simply put, if anything piqued the black donkey's interest, there was nothing it didn't dare to steal.

Strictly speaking, if it managed to avoid detection, it was considered theft; if caught, it escalated to robbery!

In an instant, numerous icy stares converged sharply on the black donkey.

As the bidding was on the brink of reaching four hundred thousand high-grade elemental stones, amounting to a few billions of crystal coins, all of it vanished in one gulp thanks to this black donkey!

Anger!

Unprecedented anger!

The staff of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce were left green-faced. Who would have thought that a donkey would actually disguise itself as a human to sneak into the auction?

"What kind of creature is this? It really looks like a donkey!"

"Damn, this black donkey actually ate those twelve ancient medicinal pills!"

"..."

The crowd erupted into an uproar, all staring dumbfoundedly at the black donkey.

So weird!

So fucking weird!

Was this black donkey enlightened?

"Your grandpa is a donkey! Have you ever seen such a handsome divine donkey like me? Let me reward you with a face full of golden excrement!"

With those words, the black donkey lifted its rear, wagged its tail, and flung a lump of its "golden excrement," smearing the faces of those who had called it a donkey.

"

Ah!

"

"You beast!"

Disgusted and enraged by being smeared with excrement, they roared and charged at the donkey, only to be knocked down by its hooves.

"Don't be deceived by the donkey's antics; this fella possesses the might of a demon king, equivalent to an expert in the Spiritual Sea Realm!

"A demon... of demon king caliber!"

With this display, the donkey's true prowess was unveiled, showcasing its extraordinary nature.

"You, demon donkey, dare you stir up trouble in our Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce!?"

At that moment, the elders and guards of the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce were all stirred up by this despicable donkey, and one after another drew their swords and advanced aggressively.

The humans and the demon race had always been archenemies, and this donkey's despicable nature certainly didn't help!

"Forget it. Grandpa Divine Donkey won't play with you guys anymore!"

Having gained what it wanted, the donkey lost interest in tangling with the humans any further. It hadn't forgotten its initial agreement with Ling Feng; generally speaking, it refrained from killing innocent people and cannibalism.

Speaking of which, the black donkey didn't actually enjoy consuming human flesh; at that time, it had simply been too long since it last had a satisfying meal.

Since emerging from the Misty Ghost Forest, the donkey has been indulging in all sorts of delicacies and fine wines, so why would it bother with sour and unappetizing human flesh?

"Despicable donkey, you've stolen from our chamber and now you plan to flee?" The lead elder roared furiously as he charged forward. "You won't get away with this!"

"Fuck, today we'll turn you into a roasted donkey head!"

The two that spoke were both experts at the Spiritual Sea Realm, wielding power comparable to that of Yan Cangtian's.

As the two formidable Spiritual Sea Realm experts clashed with a demon king-level black donkey, chaos erupted in the vicinity.

Guests scattered in fear of getting caught in the fray, while the two alchemists bidding from their VIP rooms seethed with anger.

Thanks to a black donkey, all twelve incredibly precious ancient medicinal pills were wasted.

What a waste!

Indeed, what a waste it was!

𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

With overwhelming fury, the two alchemists resolved to stay and aid the Tianmeng Chamber of Commerce in dealing with the despicable donkey!

If this despicable donkey were not put down, the people's anger wouldn't be appeased.

"

Tsk tsk...

Is this despicable donkey still causing trouble?"

Ling Feng shook his head ruefully, remembering the donkey's reprehensible antics he had witnessed before.

Under the heavens, there was scarcely a creature more despicable than this donkey. Otherwise, the Tianbai Emperor wouldn't have wished to turn it into donkey egg fried rice.

Recalling how the despicable donkey had turned tail and ran as soon as it escaped the Misty Ghost Forest, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction.

"It's better to put an end to such a contemptible donkey sooner rather than later," he thought to himself.

"

Hmm?

" Yan Cangtian noticed Ling Feng's unusual expression and turned to ask, "Kid, do you happen to know this black donkey?"

Shaking his head wryly, Ling Feng replied, "I do have some history with this despicable donkey, but it doesn't matter. If it meets its end, I'll be glad!"
