The Trial of the Ancient Desolate Tower is about to begin? Could it have something to do with Jiang Zimo and Xia Xiyan's matter? Xiao Chen opened his eyes.
Xiao Chen revealed great interest in the topic everyone was talking about. So, he decided to ask about it.
"Young Hero, it is your turn."
At this moment, a charming young girl walked over leisurely and softly said with a smile.
Xiao Chen could only give up for now. However, now that he knew the clues to the Ancient Desolate Tower, it would be easier for him to find out more information when he came out. Xiao Chen stood up and followed the maidservant into a treasure inspection hall in front.
When the cultivator in green who spoke first saw Xiao Chen suddenly stand up, he entered deep thought. Earlier, when Xiao Chen was sitting there, he did not attract his attention.
However, when the cultivator looked at Xiao Chen's back, he started to think.
They are all white-robed cultivators, Inferior Grade Martial Kings, and no older than twenty. Unfortunately, I do not see his saber; it should be in his Spatial Ring.
The cultivator in green thought to himself, I should follow him closely. If he is really a bladesman, it is very likely that he is that person.
Inside the treasure inspection hall, an old man was drinking tea. When he saw Xiao Chen enter, he smiled and said, "I am the Flowing Wind Pavilion's Old Ma. Young Hero, are you selling something? Take it out and let me see."
Xiao Chen nodded and did not say anything. He pointed the Universe Ring at the center of the hall, and a large pile of items fell like rain.
When the noise stopped, there was a one-meter-tall pile of miscellaneous items in the hall. Old Ma nearly spat out the tea in his mouth.
Old Ma swallowed the tea with some difficulty. His expression was somewhat unsightly as he said, "Little Brother, are you here to cause trouble? What kind of place is my Flowing Wind Pavilion? To think that you are using a pile of street goods to brush me off."
Clearly, the other party did not think that all these items were valuable. He felt that Xiao Chen was here to make fun of him.
Xiao Chen sat down calmly and said, "Whether they are street goods or not, you will know when you see for yourself."
Seeing how confident Xiao Chen was, Senior Ma hesitated for a moment before squatting down dubiously. Then, he casually picked up a bottle of pills and looked at it.
When Xiao Chen opened the bottle, a fragrance wafted out. Old Ma took a deep breath, and his expression changed. He said, "This is a Rank 6 Medicinal Pill, an Earth Spirit Pill. When consumed by a Martial Saint, it can greatly increase their cultivation. It is worth ten thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones."
As he spoke, he quickly picked up a yellowing secret manual and read it. "This is an Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Cultivation Technique. It can be used until Martial King. It is worth a hundred thousand Inferior Grade Spirit Stones."
"There are also ten Low Grade Earth Ranked Spirit Weapons, this is a three hundred year old Snow Ginseng, this is a Battle Armor, this is a High Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique, and this is a Low Grade Secret Treasure."
With every sentence that Xiao Chen spoke, Senior Ma's expression changed. How was this something that could be found in a street stall? He had really misjudged it earlier.
Although the value of each item wasn't top-notch, a single one of them couldn't pique his interest at all.
However, looking at the quantity, there were at least a thousand of them. When added together, the value was startling.
With so many miscellaneous items on one person, this person either robbed a strong clan or killed many high ranked cultivators.
Senior Ma's thoughts raced. When he saw that Xiao Chen was not even twenty years old, no matter which one it was, this youth's strength was unfathomable. He was not as simple as he looked.
Senior Ma no longer delayed Xiao Chen like before. He stood up and performed a cupped-fist salute. He said, "Sorry for the offense earlier. This old man misjudged it. I hope Little Brother does not take it to heart."
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "It's not a problem. Just help me appraise them quickly. I only do business, I do not care about anything else."
It was unrealistic to rely on Senior Ma to appraise so many items by himself.
Senior Ma called over a maidservant and gave her some instructions. After one hour, ten young appraisers came out from the back door of the Appraisal Hall.
Senior Ma explained, "They were transferred from another branch. Don't worry. Don't look down on them because they are young. They should have no problems dealing with your items."
Xiao Chen nodded and did not have any objections.
Two hours later, under the laborious appraisal of ten appraisers, the various miscellaneous items in the forest were finally appraised.
The ten appraisers from the other branches took their leave. Now, only Xiao Chen and Senior Ma remained in the Appraisal Hall.
Holding a list, Senior Ma looked somewhat fatigued. He said to Xiao Chen, "Little Brother, take a look. They are worth a total of three million Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. If converted to Medial Grade Spirit Stones, that would be twenty-five thousand. These are the rules. You should know about them."
Xiao Chen looked through the list and indicated that he had no objections. As for the so-called rules, Xiao Chen already knew about them long ago. Naturally, he would not say anything.
Senior Ma smiled gently and said, "That's good. Take out your Ancient Desolate Pass. We will sign it, and the Spirit Stones will be yours immediately."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not help but be stunned. He had not expected the transaction to require an Ancient Desolate Pass. He could not help but feel somewhat depressed. "I have not gone to apply for an Ancient Desolate Pass yet. Can I make the transaction?"
Senior Ma frowned slightly, clearly stunned. This youth had just arrived in the Ancient Desolate Land. He had not even applied for an Ancient Desolate Pass.
"This is a little difficult. It is not that this old man is making things difficult for you, but without an Ancient Desolate Pass for such a large transaction, the taxes will be very high," Senior Ma explained softly.
Since it was just a matter of money, then it was easy to resolve. Xiao Chen said, "How about this? Give me the receipt for twenty-five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. I will only take twenty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones. How about that?"
The miscellaneous items in this transaction could be considered extra gains for Xiao Chen. It did not matter how much he earned. It would be troublesome to apply for an Ancient Desolate Pass later.
Senior Ma understood. He knew why Xiao Chen was so generous. This pile of treasures must have been obtained from killing others. Now, he was in a rush to make a move.
However, Senior Ma still reminded Xiao Chen, "You have to think it through. It will take you less than half a day to apply for an Ancient Desolate Pass. You will be able to save five thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones."
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "There is no need. I have already made up my mind."
After the two signed the contract, Senior Ma immediately took out boxes of Spirit Stones for Xiao Chen to count. After checking with his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen confirmed that the numbers were correct. Then, he tossed them into his Universe Ring.
With this, Xiao Chen's Universe Ring became much emptier. He now had more than one hundred and fifty thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones, one million Inferior Grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred invaluable Superior Grade Spirit Stones.
After leaving the Inspection Hall, Xiao Chen looked around. He saw that the cultivator in green had not left yet. Furthermore, when the cultivator saw Xiao Chen come out, his eyelids twitched.
That's not right. A regular transaction would not take more than fifteen minutes. Logically speaking, he should have left long ago.
Xiao Chen noticed that the cultivators he was chatting with earlier had already left. All that remained were cultivators he was unfamiliar with.
He knows about the situation on Boulder Island. He must be suspicious of me. Xiao Chen kept this in mind. His expression did not change as he walked down the stairs.
Not long after Xiao Chen left the Flowing Wind Pavilion, his Spiritual Sense immediately detected a figure following him. It was that cultivator in green.
This person is a Superior Grade Martial King. If he sneak-attacks me, he will pose a threat to me. However, since I have already noticed him, it is not a big deal.
Coincidentally, he should know about the Ancient Desolate Tower. If he tries to harm me, I can capture him and ask him about it.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's lips curled up in an arc. He walked forward unhurriedly, pretending that he did not know anything.
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived at a rather desolate alley. When he saw the surrounding people and the desolate environment, he nodded slightly. This is the place.
"Bang!"
Just at this moment, four Ferocious Tiger Race cultivators leaped out from both sides of the alley. They were tall and strong, and they surrounded Xiao Chen from all directions.
They were more than two meters tall, blocking the sunlight and casting a large shadow. They were the Tiger Race cultivators that Xiao Chen had offended earlier.
The Tiger Race cultivator that Jiang Zimo forced back earlier was filled with killing Qi. He walked over to Xiao Chen and smiled coldly, "Brat, I told you to hand over two thousand Medial Grade Spirit Stones first, but you did not. Now, I will chop off one of your legs and let you know what regret is."
"Is that so? Unfortunately, you are not able to do that."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly. Jiang Zimo was right. With a flip of his palm, the Lunar Shadow Saber instantly appeared in his hand.
The four Tiger Race cultivators were all Medial Grade Martial Kings. When they worked together, they were quite strong.
Unfortunately, with one look, it was clear that these people were not the core cultivators of the Fiend Race. They had not practiced any strong Martial Techniques or Cultivation Techniques. When Xiao Chen used his full power, they did not stand a chance.
After fifteen minutes, the four Tiger Race cultivators lay on the ground, moaning non-stop. Occasionally, electricity flickered on the wounds of various sizes on their bodies.
Following Jiang Zimo's instructions, Xiao Chen did not deal a heavy blow. Although their wounds looked horrifying, they did not injure any vital points. He only taught them a lesson.
"Scram. I will only obey Jiang Zimo's words once. Don't let me see you again."
Xiao Chen returned the Lunar Shadow Saber to its scabbard and snorted coldly.
The Tiger Race cultivators felt like they had been relieved of a heavy burden. They knew they had kicked a metal plate, so they quickly got up and fled.
"Not bad, what a beautiful Saber Technique. Even when fighting one against four, you are still able to hold an overwhelming advantage."
At some point in time, the cultivator in green was already standing on the wall of the alley. The sunlight shone down from his back, obscuring his appearance.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "After following me for so long, you finally could not endure it any longer."
The cultivator in green shrugged his shoulders. He was not surprised that Xiao Chen noticed him. He asked, "Did you go to Boulder Island a week ago?"
Xiao Chen did not answer the cultivator in green's question directly. He took out the peak high-rank Blood Demon's Demon Core from his Universe Ring and said, "You want this, right?"
The cultivator in green smiled and said, "Very good, you can die now. I will hand your head to the Holy Fire Manor and exchange it for a bounty. That will allow you to make the most of your value."
After he spoke, the cultivator in green leaped down from the wall and chopped twice in the air. A sharp palm wind flew at Xiao Chen like a sharp saber.
Xiao Chen drew the Lunar Shadow Saber again. Purple electricity flickered as he chopped the palm wind in half.
"Huge Whale Palm!"
The cultivator in green shouted, and a faint mist appeared in the surroundings. The ground of the alley turned into soft water, rippling continuously.
Xiao Chen lost his balance and started to sway along with the water.
What a powerful state of water! This person is not an ordinary Superior Grade Martial King. No wonder he is so confident.
