23: Chapter 23 Space Upgrade 23: Chapter 23 Space Upgrade “Boss, do you have any other treasures here?” Feeling that there might be surprises beyond the inner hall, Ye Feng quickly called over the shop owner and asked with a smile, while deliberately pulling out a stack of bills that seemed to amount to over 20,000 to seem like a naive and moneyed fool.

“What should I call you, boss?” Indeed, the shop owner was a shrewd old man.

Originally, he was ready to say there were none, but on seeing the bills in Ye Feng’s hand, he quickly put on a smiling face and cheerfully asked.

“I’m Ye Feng.” Ye Feng politely stated his name, while eagerly looking at the shop owner, hoping the man would quickly lead him into the inner hall.

“Boss Ye, our shop does indeed have another batch of rather fine treasures, shall we go inside and take a look?” Under Ye Feng’s expectant gaze, the shop owner finally said the words Ye Feng wanted to hear.

“Sure, thank you for the trouble.” Ye Feng couldn’t wait to get into the inner hall and how could he not agree?

Ye Feng, pulling along Liu Yajing, followed the shop owner into the inner hall.

Inside, the shop owner had cleared out another room, also filled with goods on shelves, but the items here were clearly a notch above those outside.

Indeed, Ye Feng found what he was looking for here—this time it was just a round stone, but its material and that of the previous stone statue were nearly identical.

Ye Feng concluded that this stone was exactly what he was searching for.

Even with a target in mind, Ye Feng wouldn’t stupidly ask the price directly, as that would only make him spend more money, and he certainly didn’t want to be taken for a sucker.

“Boss, how much for this?” So, Ye Feng intentionally picked up a bowl nearby and asked while smiling.

“This?

This is a fine Ming Dynasty piece.

Since you seem forthright, I’ll give it to you at cost, 15,000.” Naturally, the shop owner thought Ye Feng was interested in the bowl, and immediately started his skillful operator’s spiel.

“Oh!

And this?” Ye Feng replied emotionlessly and put down the bowl, picking up a bracelet nearby as he continued to inquire.

“This is a Qing Dynasty bracelet, ten thousand.” Thinking Ye Feng found the items expensive, the shop owner lowered the price, accepting less profit as a viable compromise just to make a sale.

“And this?” Actually, what Ye Feng was truly interested in was a painting nearby.

Although the painting was ordinary, it contained vast potential, something Ye Feng only discovered after using his Penetrating Vision.

“This painting is by a famous artist.

If you like it, I’ll let it go for the lowest price, 5,000.” Having failed twice before, the owner seemed a bit disappointed, miraculously slashing the price to 5,000.

“I’ll buy this painting, but you must throw in this item too; I find it quite appealing.

I’ll take it back and play with it!” At 5,000, Ye Feng could comfortably agree to the purchase, but his real purpose was the Stone Bead, so he picked up the bead and stated his terms.

“This…

Let me think about it.” The shop owner was internally elated, but he still put on an extremely reluctant face, fearing Ye Feng would change his mind if he agreed too readily.

“Forget it, forget it!

I see you’re a straightforward man, I’ll treat this deal as making no profit, just earning a friend.” After pondering for a moment, the shop owner joyfully agreed, knowing he had initially spent only 500 on the painting and bead together, and was now making a profit of 4,500.

Although Ye Feng knew he had spent some unwarranted money, he didn’t feel at loss.

On the contrary, he felt he had snagged a bargain, as the true value of the Stone Bead could not be measured in money.

“Boss, take care, and do visit us again.” After completing the transaction, the shop owner escorted Ye Feng to the door, bidding him a very warm farewell.

“Is this Stone Bead also a treasure?” Seeing that the bead’s material was very similar to her own stone statue, Liu Yajing guessed that it was the bead, not the lousy painting, that Ye Feng was actually keen on.

“Yeah!

If I’m not mistaken, this thing is also worth a lot of money.” Ye Feng nodded, since he was naturally splitting the money with Liu Yajing, he certainly wouldn’t hide anything.

“By the way, are you also heading home?” While waiting for a taxi on the roadside, Ye Feng asked the beauty beside him.

If she intended to stay here for fun, it would be an inadvertent slight against her.

“Let’s head back together!

I’m a bit tired too.” Liu Yajing nodded, having stood for a long time, she was indeed tired, and decided to go back and rest.

“About that, if the items actually sell tomorrow, I’ll give you the money.” Once they arrived home, Ye Feng immediately opened the door, and just as he was about to enter, he remembered something and turned to inform Liu Yajing.

“Alright, thanks a lot.” Liu Yajing responded with a smile and entered her own little house.

Getting paid was naturally great, and her neighbor seemed somewhat interesting.

After closing the door, Ye Feng again dripped his blood onto the Stone Bead, watched as it transformed into a red beam of light, and followed it as it entered his body through his wound, excitedly entering the Disk within.

But he was disappointed this time, for no new patterns lit up; the only ones glowing were the same two from before.

After a careful inspection, Ye Feng discovered that the Chaotic Space had upgraded its level—apparently, the Stone Bead was meant to enhance the Space’s Level.

Chaotic Space: In the early stage aids the host in blood replacement, and purifying impurities, vastly improving the host’s physique.

Subsequently, constructs a 20-square-meter Space within the Dantian, which can store everything (including living beings); the inside time to outside world ratio is 18:1, allowing use of mysterious items for evolution.

The Space not only grew significantly in area but even its time ratio had improved.

Staying there for 18 days felt like just one day outside, making it an ideal place for breeding and training.

Upon entering the Space, Ye Feng found the view greatly expanded, and the stream had not only grown longer but also wider.

After watering the already sprouted fruit trees again, Ye Feng left the Chaotic Space.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

“Who is it?” Just as Ye Feng exited the Chaotic Space, he heard knocking at his door.

Annoyed, he responded and then opened the door.

“Boss Ye, I am here to take you to see the villa; do you have time right now?” Standing outside was none other than Xu Long, the leader of the Black Dragon Gang, who looked somewhat timid as he saw Ye Feng.

No wonder, Ye Feng had made him endure a night he could never forget.

Can you imagine the scene of consuming an entire box of five-nuts mooncakes in one go?

At least, he would vomit every time he remembered it.
