"Uh … Speaking of which, are you going to accept these primordial stones?" An Lin scratched his head and looked at Old Zhong, who was in a daze. He pointed at the ancient artifacts on the stone platform and continued, "Hurry up, they can't wait any longer, they really want them …"
They want them? You want them even more!?
Old Zhong's chest tightened, and he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.
He hurriedly turned his pleading gaze toward Pavilion Master Luo, who had just run over.
"Pavilion Master Luo, that man named An Lin is very good at refining ancient artifacts. He has already taken three of them. If this continues, I'm afraid that all the artifacts will be taken away by him! "Liu Huo hurriedly transmitted his voice to Pavilion Master Luo.
Pavilion Master Luo's heart ached when he heard this. Normally, they might not be able to find even one ancient artifact even after several decades, but now, he had already taken away three? No, he must be stopped!
"Hahaha … I am Golden Pagoda's Pavilion Master, Luo Baiyu. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist An Lin for obtaining the ancient artifacts." Pavilion Master Luo walked over with a smile and a gentle expression on his face as he cupped his hands and congratulated An Lin.
When An Lin heard that the boss of this store had arrived, he respectfully returned the greeting.
Pavilion Master Luo didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point. "Since Fellow Daoist An Lin has already obtained a few ancient artifacts, why don't you stop here?"
"To tell you the truth, this activity of selecting ancient artifacts is one of Golden Pagoda's specialties. At the same time, it is also one of our main sources of income. It's a good thing that Fellow Daoist An Lin is fated with these treasures, but Golden Pagoda has spent thousands of years to find them here. This is also a kind of hard-won fate. Most importantly, we don't want our source of income to be cut off by others … "
An Lin blinked. He didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward. Since the other party had shamelessly admitted it, how was he supposed to respond?
"You previously said that the ancient artifacts belong to the fated, but now you're going back on your word. Aren't you afraid that I'll spread the news that you're treating it as a money tree? "An Lin thought for a moment and decided to refute.
"We can make a new rule. One person can only take away three ancient relics at most. I believe that apart from Fellow Daoist An Lin, who is a heaven-defying genius, anyone else who can refine one of them would be able to boast about it for a hundred years. Naturally, they wouldn't mind this restriction too much. "
Pavilion Master Luo's tone was still gentle and calm as he continued, "I believe that with this, even if this matter were to spread and Golden Pagoda's reputation would be affected, others would still be able to understand … Of course, this is only a last resort. I still hope that Fellow Daoist An Lin can resolve this matter peacefully with us. This way, everyone will be happy."
An Lin looked at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him and asked, "How do we settle this peacefully?"
"One million spirit stones. Let's just forget about this matter. Golden Pagoda can only offer this much. Fellow Daoist An Lin, there's no need to haggle, "Pavilion Master Luo said with a smile.
"Alright, deal!"
"Fellow Daoist An Lin is truly a straightforward person. From now on, you are a friend of Golden Pagoda."
…
…
Just like that, An Lin collected another one million spirit stones and swaggered out with Xu Xiaolan.
Hei Mu, Liu Huo, and Huang Shi silently watched the back of the man who seemed like a winner in life. Their hearts were in a mess.
Pavilion Master Luo rubbed his forehead in pain. He needed to go to the meditation room to calm down so that he could forget about this man named An Lin.
Princess Yan Meng's face had been slapped resoundingly. She was in no mood to continue choosing the ancient artifacts and left the stone altar.
Only the luxuriously dressed middle-aged man persisted. He dripped his blood on the ancient artifacts and sang to them. He seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Of course, the end result was completely useless …
An Lin walked out of Golden Pagoda's door and took a deep breath in comfort. Then, he sighed ruefully.
"Ha … I suffered a small loss. I couldn't collect all the ancient artifacts …"
Xu Xiaolan rolled her eyes. "You still have the nerve to say this? My heart aches for Golden Pagoda. They originally wanted to rip you off, but you turned the tables and took away three of their family jewels, as well as one million spirit stones … "
"I like it when they use their three family jewels well, woof!" Dabai interrupted with a devilish smile.
Xu Xiaolan: "…"
An Lin: "…"
"Where are we going next?" Xu Xiaolan felt a little awkward and changed the topic.
"Hmm, let's walk around nearby and see if there are places like Silver Pagoda, Ingot Pagoda, or Divine Weapon Shop," An Lin said with bright eyes.
The corners of Xu Xiaolan's mouth twitched. "You want to cause trouble again? Looking for the ancient artifacts? "
"Hehe, Xiaolan, you know me well …" Excitement flashed in An Lin's eyes after he tasted the sweetness.
Just like that, An Lin really did go to all the treasure pagodas to see if there was anyone who wanted to rip him off.
Unfortunately, Golden Pagoda was already the top treasure pagoda in the Heavenly River State, and it was the only one that could collect ancient artifacts. This disappointed An Lin for a long time.
He checked his storage ring. There was a high-rank protective spirit tool that Lin Junjun had given him, the Heavenly Spirit Ice Heart, two immortal pill coupons, the Shield of Promised Victory, the Winter Dragon Tomb map, the Heart of the Ocean, the Dragon Soul Pill, the Evil-Slaying Sword, the Realm-Piercing Nail, and the Starless Sky of Slaughter Formation Disk.
M-hm, they were all good stuff that he couldn't bear to sell.
Also, to him, the 8,220,000 spirit stones were just numbers …
"After having so much money, even if I earned a million spirit stones, I don't feel much joy anymore …" An Lin looked up at the sky and sighed with emotion.
Xu Xiaolan glared at the man beside her, and she felt the urge to beat him up.
"Oh, right, let's go treasure hunting!" An Lin seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly said.
"Treasure hunting?" Xu Xiaolan raised her brows slightly, and she said sarcastically, "Does Filthy Rich An have to worry about not having enough treasures? You have so much money, so if you want a treasure, you can just buy one."
An Lin's expression faltered upon hearing this, and he was speechless.
Holy f * ck, it makes so much sense.
Why do we need to go treasure hunting? What can't we buy with so much money?
No … don't be led astray. Treasure hunting is for adventure and for opportunities that come along with it. It can't be replaced by dung like spirit stones!
"Treasure hunting this time is different. It's very exciting!"
An Lin pulled Xu Xiaolan along with him and flew into the sky on his brick. Then, he took out a scroll. This was one of the ancient artifacts that he had obtained.
"Look!" He slowly unfurled the scroll as if he were showing off some kind of treasure.
Xu Xiaolan's eyes glistened, and there was a hint of surprise on her face. "This is an artifact that you just snatched from Golden Pagoda, right? It's a map? "
"What do you mean by 'snatch'? I obtained it with my own strength!" An Lin was displeased. "The Winter Dragon Tomb Map records the burial site of Winged Dragon Shen Yin. This is a good item. You know that dragons have a hobby of collecting treasures. How could their tombs be lacking in treasures? "
Xu Xiaolan smiled and nodded. Then, she shook her head. "Winged Dragon Shen Yin? That's a Return to Void Stage dragon. Its tomb must be very dangerous … "
The higher the cultivation base of a being, the more dangerous their tomb was. This was something that everyone knew.
This was what it meant to be awesome in life, and awesome in death.
"However, the more powerful a being is, the more precious the inheritance they left behind! Normally, supreme beings have the habit of leaving behind inheritances in their tombs after they die. This isn't something that can be bought with spirit stones. "An Lin's eyes lit up as he spoke. His adventurous spirit was already burning.
Xu Xiaolan stroked her smooth chin and looked at the map. Then, she looked at An Lin and asked, "Can your Gundams still be used?"
"Of course. They've already been charged!" An Lin nodded earnestly.
Xu Xiaolan clapped her hands together with a dainty smile. "Alright, then I'll accompany you!"
