Chapter 1995: Chapter 1994: Farewell to the Divine Stone
"Old man, are you capable or not? If not, don’t waste your time here. Take a left when you exit and disappear back where you came from." Zhang Xiaohao sneered.
A dignified cultivator at the Mahayana Realm, to have cultivated to this level, and yet is so poor, he’s lost all the face for men.
"Hmph! Who says I’m not capable? Open your eyes wide and watch closely! It’s just a supreme-grade Spirit Stone, isn’t it? Although I don’t have any supreme-grade Spirit Stones on me, I have some heaven-defying treasures!" said the old monster at the Mahayana Realm coldly.
After speaking, he slapped the storage bag at his waist with his right hand and solemnly took out a long purple box. The entire box was about thirty centimeters long, two fingers wide, with a series of Sealing Talismans pasted on it, looking like an extraordinary treasure.
With the appearance of this box, everyone’s gaze, except for Zhang Xiaohao, was drawn to it. A treasure solemnly taken out by a Mahayana Realm old monster was definitely not ordinary.
"Open your eyes wide and see what this is!" the old monster at the Mahayana Realm said proudly.
After that, he waved his right hand, and the Sealing Talismans on the purple jade box immediately dissipated. Then he opened the purple box, revealing a piece of black wood from which a pure and rich soul aura emanated.
"What? It’s a Substitution Divine Wood! And it’s a ten-thousand-year old Substitution Divine Wood. According to the size of this Substitution Divine Wood, it’s enough to refine two Substitution Puppets! When it comes to battles, it’s like having two extra lives!!!" someone with knowledge blurted out loudly upon seeing this.
Seeing that all the gazes around were drawn over, the Mahayana Realm cultivator displayed a proud look, puffing out his chest as he surveyed everyone’s faces before finally fixing his gaze on Zhang Xiaohao.
"Kid, is this enough now?" the old monster at Mahayana Realm said triumphantly.
"Just average! But it’s only a ten-thousand-year Substitution Divine Wood, and it’s so small! You think you can refine it into two Substitution Puppets? Dream on! Who do you think you are? An Artifact Refining Master? Even an Artifact Refining Master couldn’t refine it into two Substitution Puppets!" Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.
Before the Mahayana Realm cultivator could retort, Zhang Xiaohao’s lazy voice rang out again.
"I’ll let you pass! However, adding this Substitution Divine Wood along with everything you have on you, including your storage bag, let’s count it as worth a hundred billion supreme-grade Spirit Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph!" the old monster at Mahayana Realm snorted, taking down all the treasures he had and placing them next to Zhang Xiaohao’s heap of supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
"Where are your hundred billion supreme-grade Spirit Stones?" Zhang Xiaohao playfully looked at the remaining group.
The rest of the cultivators exchanged glances, seeing a hint of contempt in each other’s eyes, alongside their strong self-confidence.
"Since no one is starting, I’ll embarrass myself first!" said a Unification Realm cultivator.
He pulled out a storage bag with one hand, and casually with his right hand, a huge pile of supreme-grade Spirit Stones flew out from his storage bag, piling up into a massive mountain on the ground. Fortunately, each layer of this place is its own space, so there’s no worry about not fitting all these supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
After a while, this Unification Realm cultivator stopped.
"There are ninety-five billion supreme-grade Spirit Stones here, still five billion short, which I will cover with ten Sky-Penetrating Spiritual Treasures as collateral!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
As his words fell, ten Sky-Penetrating Spiritual Treasures flew out from his waist storage bag and landed on top of the supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
"Agreed!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
Ten Sky-Penetrating Spiritual Treasures, worth five billion supreme-grade Spirit Stones together. If taken to auction, they might fetch double, but this isn’t an auction, so everything must be calculated at the lowest price.
"My turn," another young man said.
This young man, dressed luxuriously, looked like a rich young master from a prestigious family. With a wave of his hand, a hundred billion supreme-grade Spirit Stones appeared on the ground, forming a giant mountain-like heap.
After finishing all this, the young man proudly looked at the surrounding cultivators, with an expression that seemed to say, "This young master has plenty of money."
The other cultivators weren’t going to be outdone, not wanting to pass up free Spirit Stones. They believed that no matter what method Zhang Xiaohao used, he couldn’t win the favor of the nine Mahayana beauties simultaneously.
One after another, they tapped their storage bags at their waists. Those lacking Spirit Stones took out various rare Sky-Penetrating Spiritual Treasures as collateral. They didn’t want to be the subject of mockery, like the Mahayana Realm old monster earlier.
Quickly, all fifteen cultivators brought out their treasures, leaving only one chubby young Fatty remaining.
"Is it my turn already? You guys aren’t slow! Well then, I’ll give it a try!" the Fatty said with a smile.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
He tapped his storage bag at his waist, and instantly ten thousand fist-sized Divine Stones appeared on the ground. Each Divine Stone emitted a terrifying abundance of nature’s Spiritual Energy, like a vast ocean, extremely dense.
"These are ten thousand Divine Stones! I got them by accident! I’m not bragging, but besides me in the entire Spirit Realm, there’s nowhere else that has Divine Stones! As for the use of Divine Stones, I believe everyone present knows clearly!" the Fatty said proudly.
"It’s actually Divine Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao squinted his eyes.
On Earth, when he snatched the Dragon Slayer Blade, entering that mysterious space at the entry of Tianyin Sect territory, he obtained many Divine Stones, but eventually gave them all to Master Old Ghost.
Unexpectedly, he encountered Divine Stones here, and a full ten thousand of them.
Honestly speaking, he read many books about the effects of Divine Stones these past days. Some ancient texts mentioned Divine Stones, but their origin is mysterious, and nobody knows where they come from. However, the Spiritual Energy inside them—no, to be precise, the Divine Qi inside them—is far superior to nature’s Spiritual Energy! One is divine, the other mundane, completely incomparable. To put it bluntly, one Divine Stone can utterly crush countless supreme-grade Spirit Stones.
Just that arrogant, just that domineering!
