On the second floor, the lady in red gritted her teeth. The way she looked at Ling Xian was spitting fire.
Ling Xian pretended not to see this. Or rather, he didn't care.
He wasn't even afraid of the pro-war faction, why would he be afraid of a stubborn lady with a powerful background?
"I …" The tall lady hesitated and carefully peeked at the lady in red, afraid that she would be unhappy.
"Take it. The third lady is generous and will not argue with you." Ling Xian smiled. His words made it hard for the lady in red to get angry.
"Thank you, sir." The tall lady no longer hesitated and placed the 10 treasures into her sleeve.
"I will buy these 10 stones."
Ling Xian randomly pointed at the 10 stones. Then, he flapped around his sleeve and a small mountain of spiritual stones appeared. It was so bright that everyone found it hard to open their eyes.
This made the lady in red's face burn. She felt like she was slapped by Ling Xian again.
"Do you want me to cut them open?" The tall lady smiled brightly.
"No need." Ling Xian shook his head. The treasures inside these 10 stones were all lower than the selling price. The reason why he bought them was because he wanted to go to the third level.
He said softly, "Now, I have the right to go to the third level."
"Of course. Mister, please follow me." The tall woman smiled and walked towards the third floor.
Ling Xian followed. However, he was stopped by the lady in red.
"Young man, don't get cocky too soon."
The lady in red glared at Ling Xian, "Just you wait. Someone will come and deal with you."
"I will wait and see." Ling Xian shook his head and laughed. He didn't think much of the lady's threat.
With his capabilities today, as long as it wasn't a powerhouse of the Supreme-Being level, he could escape unscathed. "Hmmph, just you wait." The lady in red snickered and left.
"Sir, you have to be careful. The third lady is narrow-minded and vengeful. She will not let you go easily." The tall lady was worried.
"Don't worry." Ling Xian waved his hand and entered the third level.
Then, he appeared disappointed.
The stones on the third level were similar to the second. Most of the stones contained treasures that were worth less than the selling price. The treasures that were worth more than the selling price were not much higher.
At once, Ling Xian asked, "Do I have to buy 10 stones from this level to get to the fourth level?"
"Yes." The tall slender woman nodded.
"What a cunning merchant." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He no longer wanted to go to the fourth level.
It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with those spirit stones, but he could foresee that the value of the treasures contained within the mystical stones on the fourth floor would be lower than the selling price.
Even if there were treasures that were priced higher than the market price, they wouldn't be the kind of world-shaking treasure that wasn't worth opening.
Ling Xian turned around and went downstairs. He planned on checking out the other large Strange Stone Shops.
However, when he arrived at the main hall, he bumped into the woman in red.
A green-robed man followed behind the woman. He had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes.
His cultivation was not bad either. Not only had he reached the pinnacle of the eighth level, but he had also reached several extreme levels. He could be considered a genius.
"You want to leave?" The woman in red sneered. "Is it because you're afraid?"
"Whatever you think." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile and shifted his gaze towards the man in green, "This is the helper you found?"
"That's right. He's Master Lin's best disciple. Master Lin, you must have heard of him." The lady in red glared at Ling Xian.
"I really didn't know."
Ling Xian smiled and was too lazy to waste any more time with the woman, "Let me warn you, you have found the wrong person. He cannot teach me a lesson."
"Arrogant!" The man in green glared at Ling Xian, "You are merely a fifth level cultivator. I can kill you with a flick of my finger."
"You are wrong. It's not that you can kill me with a flick of your finger, it's that I can kill you with a flick of my finger." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He was of the saint realm. Even if he stood there without moving and let the man in green hit him, he wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his head.
"If I wanted to kill him, I wouldn't have found you."
The woman in red hissed and shifted her gaze towards Ling Xian, "Young man, do you dare to compete with him in terms of stone knowledge?"
"So you want to teach me a lesson on that." Ling Xian softly grinned, "Like I said, you have found the wrong person."
"Less bullsh * t. Do you dare to make another bet with me?" The woman in red's expression was cold.
"What are we betting on?" Ling Xian asked softly.
"If you win, I will give you all the stones on the fifth level. If you lose, you will be my servant for three years."
The woman in red taunted, "Do I dare?"
"Are you sure it's all the stones on the fifth level?" Ling Xian's interest was piqued. Though the stones on the fifth level may not be heaven-defying, they were giving them to him for free. Naturally, he was tempted.
"If you win, I will not go back on my words," the woman in red said softly.
"Okay, I accept." Ling Xian grinned and shifted his gaze towards the man in green, "How do we bet?"
"Very simple. You and I will each pick a stone on the fourth level. Whoever gets the highest value wins." The man in green's expression was arrogant as he asked, "Do you dare?"
"Sir …"
The tall woman whispered, "He is Master Lin's apprentice. In the entire City of Strange Stones, he ranks top 10 in terms of stone knowledge."
"Thank you for the reminder." Ling Xian grinned. He had the inheritance of the Seeking Ghost Cultivator. In terms of stone knowledge, he was not afraid of anyone.
Therefore, he headed towards the fourth level, using his actions to show his attitude.
The woman in red and the man in green followed closely behind. They were both looking very proud. It was obvious that they were very confident.
"You first, or me?"
When they arrived at the fourth level, Ling Xian asked softly and glanced around.
Compared to the third level, the stones on this level were much better. At the very least, a few of the stones contained treasures that were worth much more than the selling price.
"You go first. I don't want you to find excuses when you lose." The man in green's expression was arrogant.
In a situation where the stone is better, the person who picks first will have the advantage.
"Then I won't be polite." Ling Xian grinned. As he marched forward, he called out his Inner Gaze.
After a few seconds, a stone that was full of holes appeared before his eyes. Inside it was a fingernail-sized Purple Immortal Gold.
Though it was only the size of a fingernail, in this place, it was the most valuable.
At once, Ling Xian picked up the stone that was full of holes and said, "This is it."
Hearing this, the green-clothed man strode forward and touched every rock. In the end, he chose a fiery red rock.
Then, he cut open the stone and revealed a piece of heavenly wood that was surrounded by flames.
"It really is the Firewood of Heavenly Wood." The man in green smiled. The woman in red smiled as well.
The Firewood of Heavenly Wood was a rare heavenly material. Even if it was only a piece, it was worth a fortune.
The man in green shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian and smiled proudly, "Firewood of Heavenly Wood, you recognize it right?"
"I do."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. Though the Firewood of Heavenly Wood was valuable, even if it was one meter long, it could not compare to the fingernail-sized Purple Immortal Gold.
"This wood is the most valuable treasure here. You are going to lose for sure." The man in green smiled proudly, thinking that he would win.
The woman in red thought so as well.
"Excluding the stone in my hand, the Firewood of Heavenly Wood truly is the most valuable treasure here."
Ling Xian softly grinned. His finger slid across the stone and revealed the fingernail-sized Purple Immortal Gold.
Instantly, the purple light rose and was blinding, freezing the man in green's smile.
