Chapter 448 - 446: Uncle, You Really Weren’t Lying
At that moment, the crowd was far more shocked than Guan Zhongze was upset.
The old man’s power was astonishing. He could refine Spirit Weapons on the spot.
’Who is he?’
Everyone wondered, but no one knew the answer.
The technique the old man had just displayed was definitely something only those at the Great Saint Realm could possess.
In other words, this old man, who appeared withered and stooped, was at the very least... a Great Saint!
Ignoring the crowd’s shocked gazes, the white-haired old man returned the Purple Whip and the large machete to Hua Xiaoling and Yee Youmeng.
Everyone could clearly sense that the Purple Whip and the large machete now faintly emanated the aura of Saint-level Spiritual Artifacts.
’This...’
Just by fusing such a tiny piece of black shattered bone, he had upgraded two weapons to the Saint Weapon Level almost instantly.
This showed that even this single, lifeless piece of Black Dragon Shattered Bone was worth nearly a hundred million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones.
Guan Zhongze’s attempt to scam them had backfired, and he ended up scamming himself.
He was furious, and his expression was incredibly ugly.
However, with the mysterious old man present, he naturally didn’t dare say a word.
Just then, the clever and mischievous girl beside the old man spoke to Jiang Jichen. "Big Brother, a mutated Ancient Life Seed can only be revived with Ancient Exotic Soil, and only my great-grandfather can find Ancient Exotic Soil! How about this? You give it to us, and if we manage to grow it in the future, I’ll pick some Life Exotic Fruit for you to eat, okay?"
The little girl’s big eyes blinked, looking very cute.
Jiang Jichen could clearly see the truth. Although the old man was powerful, he seemed to have reached a dead end on his cultivation path that he couldn’t overcome. His lifespan was nearly exhausted, which was why he needed the Life Exotic Fruit to extend his life.
In fact, from the moment the old man showed his goodwill, Jiang Jichen had already decided to give the Life Alien Species to them.
After all, just as the little girl had said, they had no way of finding Ancient Exotic Soil themselves. Keeping the seed would be useless.
It was better to give it away and form a good bond.
Besides, the old man had also helped Hua Xiaoling and Yee Youmeng upgrade their weapons.
Otherwise, for an item like the Black Dragon Shattered Bone, they wouldn’t even know where to find someone at the Great Saint Realm to help them refine it, let alone one with a Fire Attribute.
Of course, Elder Yao could also do it, but distant water can’t quench a present thirst.
So, this mysterious old man had definitely done them a huge favor. By upgrading Hua Xiaoling’s and Yee Youmeng’s Spiritual Artifacts, their combat power had increased once more.
Jiang Jichen was very grateful.
"Alright, little sister. I’ll be looking forward to eating your Life Exotic Fruit!"
As he spoke, he placed the damaged Life Alien Species into the little girl’s hands.
"Big Brother, you’re so nice! My name is Chu Qing’Er, but you can just call me Qing’Er!"
The cute little girl said sweetly, blinking her big eyes.
At this, the old man spoke. "Young man, for this, I owe you a favor, which I will repay in the future. Farewell for now!"
"Qing’Er has to go now! Goodbye, Big Brother, and goodbye, you two big sisters!"
The cute little girl, Chu Qing’Er, also waved goodbye to Jiang Jichen.
Then, she and the old man stepped into the void, their figures vanishing without a trace.
’This is... the Void Traveling Technique!’
’This is... the technique of a Supreme figure, someone above a Great Saint!’
They were shocked once again.
To think that the mysterious old man who had appeared out of nowhere was such a terrifying figure.
But in truth, Grandma Turtle had told Jiang Jichen that the old man was a being even above the Supreme level.
Above Supreme was the pinnacle of power in the current mortal world.
With the old man and the little girl gone, Jiang Jichen undoubtedly became the center of everyone’s attention.
Before, he was a nobody, easily ignored. But now, many people were beginning to speculate about him.
Moreover, the items those two girls had casually picked up turned out to be Supreme Treasures.
A single damaged seed had been exchanged for a favor from a mysterious Supreme figure.
And the Black Dragon Shattered Bone had directly upgraded their Spiritual Artifacts.
Just moments ago, they had called the young man a fool with more money than sense, but now, it was a direct slap in the face.
If Guan Zhongze hadn’t just pocketed one hundred million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones, he would probably be coughing up blood right now.
"My friend, you truly have a good eye, finding such a treasure at my, Guan Zhongze’s, stall. Congratulations!"
Guan Zhongze forced a smile as he spoke.
He said the words, but the pain in his heart was indescribable.
But Hua Xiaoling replied with a sweet smile, "Uncle, you really weren’t lying! People really can find Supreme Treasures here."
Hua Xiaoling’s praise was sincere, but to Guan Zhongze, her words were like twisting the knife and rubbing salt in the wound.
"Haha... Of course. However, not every item is a Supreme Treasure. You should be prepared for that."
Guan Zhongze was fuming inwardly, and his words carried a hidden meaning.
He was hinting that if the stone they had just spent one hundred million Eighth-grade Spirit Stones on didn’t turn out to be a treasure, it would be perfectly normal, and they shouldn’t feel too heartbroken about it.
However, the moment the words left his mouth, Huangfu Xingkong, who was standing off to the side, suddenly roared at him, "You fucking idiot! Do you even know what that stone is?"
Hearing Huangfu Xingkong’s roar, the crowd froze for a moment. They sensed that the stone was not as simple as it looked; there was more to the story.
Otherwise, Huangfu Xingkong wouldn’t have become so agitated and lost his composure.
A moment ago, he hadn’t dared to act out because the mysterious old man was there.
But now, he was the most powerful person present and could act without restraint.
"You’re the fucking idiot! Your whole family is full of fucking idiots!" Guan Zhongze’s face darkened. "What is that stone? Do you think you know more about it than I do?"
"Damn you! That’s a stone containing a Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone, don’t you know?"
Huangfu Xingkong was enraged and blurted it out with a roar.
A Spirit Fusion Stone!
In the next moment, everyone fell silent, stunned. They couldn’t believe it, thinking they must have misheard.
"That stone contains a Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone? Who are you trying to fool?"
But Guan Zhongze refused to believe it.
In fact, he knew a thing or two about Spirit Fusion Stones.
And he had studied that stone repeatedly. It was absolutely impossible!
But in the end, he had still overlooked it.
That stone was... a Spirit Fusion Stone!
Grandma Turtle had told Jiang Jichen that the Spirit Fusion Stone contained within this rock was far from ordinary. It was likely the legendary, highest-grade type of Spirit Fusion Stone. It was different from normal Spirit Fusion Stones, with its Divine Power contained deep within, making it nearly impossible for most people to detect.
Even Huangfu Xingkong only suspected it was a stone containing a Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone because he happened to have read a description in a rare, tattered Ancient Book.
And even he wasn’t entirely certain.
But just a moment ago, he had seen Jiang Jichen buy it without the slightest hesitation.
That meant this kid he had overlooked wasn’t a fucking idiot, but someone who genuinely knew it contained a Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone.
It matched the description of the Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone from that rare, tattered Ancient Book.
In other words, its value was immeasurable. Forget one billion or ten billion; its worth could no longer be measured in Spirit Stones!
At this point, Huangfu Xingkong’s eyes were bloodshot. The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached with indignation.
"Am I lying to you? See for yourself!"
Finally, Huangfu Xingkong threw the tattered, rare Ancient Book to Guan Zhongze.
"Ah... No! It really is a Supreme Spirit Fusion Stone!"
The next moment, Guan Zhongze let out a wretched scream.
He beat his chest and stomped his feet, his heart aching with a regret so intense it felt like he was going mad.
Seeing this, how could the crowd not understand?
The stone in the young man’s hands really was the stuff of myths and legends... a Spirit Fusion Stone!
