"I do not accept spiritual stones. I only accept barter."
Ling Xian spoke softly, making the elder look disappointed and silencing everyone.
The Fruit of Evergreen was extremely rare. They didn't have a treasure of this level.
"If you don't, then the trade is off." Ling Xian's expression was calm as he placed the Fruit of Evergreen into his storage pouch.
"Please wait." The elder gritted his teeth, "Please take a look at this."
Then, he took out a palm-sized black coffin. The material was unknown. It looked like gold, metal, wood, and mud.
There was no heavenly light surrounding it nor was there any spiritual energy. It looked very normal.
However, Ling Xian's pupils constricted as he remembered a record from the Tomb Raider Record.
Though he didn't really study the Tomb Raider Record, he skimmed through it once. Therefore, he had some impression of it.
"This coffin … where did you get it?" Ling Xian asked after a moment of silence.
"I got it from a strange stone." The elder's eyes shone with hope, "Though this coffin looks normal, it is impervious to fire and water, and impervious to knives and spears. It is definitely not an ordinary item."
"Impervious to knives and spears …" Ling Xian squinted. Though he wasn't 100% sure, he was 70% sure.
That was enough for him to take a gamble.
The black coffin recorded in the Tomb Raider Record was a legendary treasure. He could not miss it!
Ling Xian smiled, "This item is fine. Give it to me."
Hearing this, the elder was ecstatic. Though he knew this coffin was extraordinary, he's studied it for decades and still couldn't figure out its secret.
Instead of keeping it, he might as well trade it for the Fruit of Evergreen and extend his lifespan.
He handed the black coffin to Ling Xian and smiled, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me. It was a fair trade." Ling Xian brandished his hand and tossed the Fruit of Evergreen over.
This made the elder's smile deepen. He carefully placed the Fruit of Evergreen into his pouch and bowed down to Ling Xian.
To him, though the black coffin was extraordinary, it could not compare to the Fruit of Evergreen. Therefore, he felt like he got the better end of the deal.
He didn't know that if this black coffin was the legendary item, then even 100 Fruits of Evergreen cannot compare to it.
"Aye, I regret it." The vendor softly sighed, feeling a little regretful.
This was human nature. The Fruit of Evergreen was worth at least hundreds of millions of spiritual stones, yet he was only selling it for 120,000. This huge gap naturally made him feel rather uncomfortable.
"I didn't come here for nothing. Although I can't be sure, there's at least a seventy percent chance …"
Ling Xian silently smiled and put the coffin back into his sleeve. Then, he arrived at the second stall.
This caused the stall owner to laugh bitterly. He was both happy and worried.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation. They wanted to see if he could continue his glory this time.
What surprised everyone, however, was that Ling Xian did not choose a stone from this stall. After observing for a while, he came to the third stall.
Obviously, the second stall did not have any strange stones that caught his interest.
The stall owner was stunned, and then he smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, do I really not have any good stones here?"
"There are a few, but according to my guess, they're just ordinary treasures. They're not worth me buying." Ling Xian grinned and pointed at three stones, "Open them yourself. You'll get more profit from them than selling them."
The stall owner's face lit up when he heard this, and he opened the three stones without saying a word.
Suddenly, a bright light appeared and the three treasures floated in the air. The stall owner was overjoyed.
Though these three treasures were not earth-shattering, they definitely exceeded his price tag. Naturally, he was overjoyed.
At the same time, he felt very lucky that he trusted Ling Xian.
"Thank you for your guidance." The stall owner bowed down to Ling Xian. There was gratitude and respect.
The respect in everyone's eyes intensified and they no longer questioned him.
Ling Xian had used reality to prove his extraordinariness. Why wouldn't everyone be convinced?
"You are too kind." Ling Xian waved his hand. To him, these three treasures meant nothing. Therefore, he walked to the third stall and began to observe.
"Young Master, can we make a deal?" The owner of the third stall smiled.
"About what?" Ling Xian asked.
"No matter which stone you like, I can give it to you for free. But I want half of the items you open." The stall owner's eyes flickered with anticipation.
He finally understood that Ling Xian was a true powerhouse. Therefore, he wanted to take a gamble.
If he loses, he won't lose much. If he wins, he will gain much more!
"Nice plan." Ling Xian softly grinned, understanding what the stall owner meant.
"To you, this is a good thing."
"I will take on half of the risk. Even if you don't get any treasures, you won't lose much."
"To you and me, this is a win-win situation."
The stall owner had a smile on his face, full of anticipation.
"You should know that I don't lack spiritual stones. It doesn't matter if I lose out." Ling Xian softly grinned, "There is no need for me to cooperate with you."
"That's true. But I can act shamelessly."
The stall owner chuckled, "As long as you choose it, I won't sell it. You can keep it for yourself."
"That is a good idea. But it is a double-edged sword." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled, "If you can trick me, then I can trick you with a useless stone."
"Therefore, my suggestion is good for both of us. Let's consider it a cooperation. What do you think?" The stall owner stared at Ling Xian.
"Oh well, I will agree to it." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. The reason why he agreed was because this stall didn't have any shocking treasures.
"Thank you." The stall owner was ecstatic, "Please make your choice."
"I will take this one. The treasure inside is worth my time." Ling Xian softly grinned and casually crushed the strange stone.
In the next second, two finger sized red fish appeared. Though they were lifeless, their energy was as deep as the ocean, shocking everyone.
"Dragon fish! That's an Dragon fish! "
"This is good for strengthening the body. Even though it's only the size of a finger, it contains a shocking amount of energy!"
"You truly are a master. Your eyesight is something I can't compare to."
Everyone was in awe. Once again, they were shocked by Ling Xian.
Though he only made three moves, every single time, it was a shocking treasure. Just how capable was this? Just how shocking was this?
"Haha, Dragon fish, I got a Dragon fish!" The stall owner laughed out loud, knowing that he made the right bet.
"Take it." Ling Xian smiled and threw one of the Dragon fish to the stall owner. He took the other one into his pouch.
This item could strengthen his physique. Though it won't help him reach the intermediate stage of the seventh level, it will have some effect. Naturally, he wanted to treasure it.
"Thank you!" The stall owner was ecstatic and couldn't even close his mouth.
His stone was priced at 500,000, but a Dragon fish was priced at 10 million. That was 20 times the price. Naturally, he was ecstatic.
Seeing this, the other stall owners were tempted as well and followed suit.
This made everyone exclaim and they were jealous.
To be able to get a rare stone for free without spending a single spiritual stone was something everyone was jealous of.
Sadly, they couldn't be jealous.
Ling Xian's capabilities were not something everyone could possess.
"Don't rush. One by one."
Ling Xian faintly smiled and didn't decline.
Then, he walked through all the stalls and began a crazy treasure hunting trip.
