Chen Xuan raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled. "What is 'The Presence of an Emperor'?"
Jin Xiong took a deep breath. "In the Demon Realm, the hierarchy is strict. From the lowest demon soldier, Yao Huang, each level is clearly defined, with significant differences in strength and talent. Those who can become Yao Huang are all referred to as having 'The Presence of an Emperor'! If this child were in the Demon Realm and received full training, he could become a generation's Yao Huang in less than a hundred years, even reaching the position of Emperor! At that time, he might even change the current situation between the Demon Realm and the Immortal Realm."
Saying this, Jin Xiong suddenly sighed deeply. "Unfortunately, the Spiritual Energy here is scarce. Even if I were to train him, he would at most become a minor demon, wasting his 'The Presence of an Emperor'! What a pity!"
Jin Xiong shook his head, looking regretful.
Chen Xuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected that coming here to buy a cow would lead him to encounter someone with 'The Presence of an Emperor'—a Calf!
However, he wasn't interested in matters of the Demon Realm. Seeing Jin Xiong looking somewhat dejected, he smiled and comforted him. "There's no need to be like that. You just said this child has 'The Presence of an Emperor'; he will surely carve out his own path in the future!"
"That's true!" Jin Xiong perked up at Chen Xuan's words.
The auction continued as one cow after another was brought up.
Perhaps because of the earlier mention of 'The Presence of an Emperor,' Jin Xiong's eyes widened with excitement as he eagerly observed each cow that was brought out. Whenever Jin Xiong nodded, Chen Xuan decisively raised his paddle to bid.
Four improved yellow cows and four dairy cows were secured.
These Eight Cattle, as Jin Xiong put it, were all high-quality cows. With proper care, they would undoubtedly become the best among their kind within half a year.
Chen Xuan had great faith in Jin Xiong and enthusiastically raised his paddle to bid. He still had seven or eight hundred thousand on him, more than enough to purchase the Eight Cattle.
Some cattle went unnoticed, while Chen Xuan effortlessly placed his bid. However, some others, like Zhong Ren and Lu Fei, had a decent appearance. Lu Fei was one of them. With Lu Fei's guarantee, Boss Yang beside him was also mindlessly raising his paddle. Chen Xuan was determined to win!
As time went on, a few cattle fetched sky-high prices, ultimately costing Chen Xuan nearly one hundred thousand. Eight Cattle for one hundred thousand; at that price, the profit margin was already very slim. A normal person wouldn’t pay that much for Eight Cattle.
But Chen Xuan didn’t care; with Jin Xiong around, he believed it wouldn’t be long before he made tenfold or even a hundredfold profit. While Chen Xuan appeared indifferent, Lu Fei was seething with anger, wishing he could dig into Chen Xuan's brain to understand how this young man thought.
If you said he was inexperienced, it was ironic that Lu Fei had his eye on a few cattle that Chen Xuan also liked; there seemed to be some skill involved. Yet if you claimed he had skill, it was puzzling that he bid on several ordinary cattle and pregnant cows with little value.
Chen Xuan's actions filled the gap between the experts and the ordinary bidders, causing Lu Fei to frown repeatedly in frustration. However, auctions are won by those who bid the highest; despite his dissatisfaction, Lu Fei could only swallow his anger.
The auction continued. However, Chen Xuan did not make any further bids. As Jin Xiong put it, the remaining cattle were of mediocre quality and buying them would be a waste of money. Naturally, Chen Xuan kept his thoughts to himself, watching others raise their paddles while smiling silently.
This made Lu Fei secretly breathe a sigh of relief. As the auction was nearing its end, an old cow with unsteady legs was brought up. Its wobbly appearance made everyone burst into laughter.
This cow was ridiculous; someone urged the seller to take it down immediately. "I can't bear to watch this!" another exclaimed. "I wouldn't take it even if it were given to me for free!"
Facing the crowd's ridicule, the seller smiled awkwardly: "This is the last one; there's no point in taking it back. Just give it a look." He said this while hopefully gazing at the audience below.
However, everyone shook their heads and smiled, and no one raised their paddles.
Suddenly, Lu Fei raised his paddle: "One thousand, I’ll take it."
Hearing someone bid, the crowd looked over in surprise to see it was Lu Expert, and they were momentarily taken aback.
"Hey, it's Lu Expert! Why is he bidding on this cow? Is there something we missed?"
They speculated that he might be buying it as beef cattle.
The audience below buzzed with discussion.
Lu Fei remained calm and composed.
Chen Xuan glanced at Lu Fei, then turned to Jin Xiong.
Jin Xiong carefully examined the Old Cow on the table for a moment before slowly shaking his head. "This cow is no good; it's about to die."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan put down his auction paddle.
