Chapter 554 – Calculations
It was fine for Chen Shaobai to tease An Zheng himself, but he would naturally accept others’ teasing of An Zheng. Glancing at the people who were mumbling, Chen Shaobai snorted coldly, “So what if it is a caterpillar? Even if it is a caterpillar, it is a caterpillar from tens of thousands of years ago. After cultivating for tens of thousands of years, who dares to say that a caterpillar cannot become a divine beast?”
Miss Saeki thought for a while, but still didn’t have any intention of making a move. The Left was rich, so five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone were nothing to their family, but a large fortune was not earned through random means, it was through accumulation. Five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s was already an astronomical figure to a mid-tier sect, so Uncle Zuo could not casually spend it.
Zhou Enshun also had the same thought. The Zhou Family did not lack Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, but was this caterpillar of unknown origin really a godly beast? With just that young man’s words, five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone bought a worm. If word of this got out in the future, it would be a joke.
An Zheng did not seem to mind and waved his hand, “Since no one likes this item, let’s continue.”
An Zheng kept the transparent stone orb and casually pointed to the third stone: “There iiece of paper sealed inside. I don’t know what it is, I can only feel that it’s a piece of paper.”
He glanced at the stone-slicing master, “Cut it open. The starting price will still be five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone s.”
Someone in the crowd whispered, “Even the strongest sect like my Great State of Zhao would not be able to produce five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone in a short while. This is not something that we can participate in.
Another person said, “We? We shall have no regrets for the rest of our lives if we are lucky enough to witness this scene. When the purple Golden-Rank Spirit Stone appeared, it would probably set off a bloody storm. There were still dozens of stones behind him, who knows what other treasures would drop. This youth is truly extraordinary. I have to say that I admire him. ”
The young man standing beside him disdainfully said, “I was just lucky.”
That man said angrily, “How many times have I told you not to be arrogant? You said that he was lucky, but can you tell what’s inside? If you can see it, I’ll pass the family down to you. “You don’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is. Others have left you more than ten streets behind.”
The teenager coldly snorted, “I don’t believe that someone would seal a piece of paper in a stone and keep it hidden from view. Spending so much energy just for fun? If there iiece of paper in that stone, I will eat the layer of rock that was cut off. ”
An Zheng did not pay any attention to him and nodded towards the master of the cut stone. That stone-chopping master had calmed down quite a bit. After all, it wasn’t the first one. He placed the stone on the table and subconsciously looked at An Zheng.
An Zheng said indifferently: “The inner layer is hollow. It’s the same trick, a small sized barrier sealed the aura. Just cut it open. There’s no need to be too careful. ”
He followed An Zheng’s instructions and slashed down with his blade. After the blade went in a few centimeters, there was no more resistance, and it was clear that it had cut intollow place. Then he spun the knife around and the rock cracked.
It was actually a piece of paper.
The youth who had spoken earlier was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly turned pale.
However, before anyone could react, that palm-sized piece of paper suddenly flew up and sped outside. The speed was so fast that cultivators with Captive Stage could not see it clearly.
The cultivator standing furthest away also had Captive Stage, but he was the last to react and reached out to grab it. As soon as his hand touched the paper, a streak of red flame came down from the paper and immediately burnt him into a fireball. In the blink of an eye, he was reduced to ashes.
Miss Saeki made her move, bringing her hands together. In the air, two gigantic palms slammed into each other and caught that piece of paper. But a moment later, the scarlet colored flame once again appeared, burning the palm formed from the Cultivation Power to a crisp.
“Evil creature!”
Zhou Enshun thought it was some sort of demonic beast. With a flick of his hand, his magical equipment immediately flew out. The artifact had a purple glow, but it was not a Purple-Rank Divine Artifact. As the magical equipment grew larger in the wind, it turned out to be a clock. The large bell rotated, and in an instant, it caught up to the piece of paper and locked it into the ground. In the blink of an eye, the purple-colored Golden-Rank’s clock actually began to turn red. In just a few moments, the body of the bell had become a deep red, as if it would melt at any time.
Both of Miss Saeki’s hands formed a seal, and a cold longsword materialized in front of her, pressing down on the clock. The moment the frost sword appeared, the room’s temperature immediately dropped significantly. Many people had a layer of frost on their brows and eyelashes. All those present were cultivators with Captive Stage above, so it was obvious how terrifying the cold energy that even they could not withstand was.
The frost sword pressed down on the greatclock, and the fiery red color on it slowly faded away. However, a tremendous force crashed out of the large bell and sent it flying. It was unknown what that piece of paper was, but it was extremely terrifying. Reaching Zhou En Shun and Uncle Zuo’s levels, even an early stage Lower Celestial Stage could be considered to be one of the peak existences amongst cultivators. Both of them could barely suppress their emotions. This piece of paper was simply too powerful!
Abel and Zhou Enshun looked at each other, then nodded. The two of them had a lingering fear. What exactly was that piece of paper? It was so fast that they couldn’t even see it clearly. However, the power of fire contained within them was ridiculously strong. Even with their cultivation bases, they still needed to work together to suppress them.
However, just when they thought they could suppress it, the suppressing force under the clock suddenly disappeared. Then, the space dozens of meters away became blurry as the piece of paper tore through the space and appeared in another place. Furthermore, the flames floating above them clearly understood the meaning of anger. It looked like it wanted to die together with everyone present. This piece of paper seemed to have intelligence of its own. It floated there, glaring at the crowd likiger eyeing its prey.
“Infinity Empyrean.”
A very loud and clear voice suddenly sounded from outside the door as a Old Taoist wearing daoist robe walked in with large strides.
“Rules, return!”
Old Taoist reached out with his left hand, and drew a pattern in the air with his middle finger. The piece of paper floated towards him as if it saw its home, and then landed gently in his palm.
“A precious treasure.”
Old Taoist raised his head and looked at everyone. His gaze finally landed on An Zheng, “My friend, this thing has some relationship with my Dao Sect. It is the legacy of my Dao Sect’s founder … Of course, you found this. I should let you pay for it. No matter how much they pay, I will pay as much as I can. In addition, I will give you a Purple Golden-Rank medicinal pellet. ”
which was a medicinal pellet of the Purple Golden-Rank!
That was already something that could not be measured using just the price of a city. Zi Golden-Rank’s medicinal pellet was only a step away from becoming a divine pellet. Possessing the godly effect of having the flesh and bones of the living dead was equivalent to having an extra life.
Uncle Zuo and Zhou Enshun looked at each other again, their eyes filled with dread.
“This humble Taoist is arrogant and proud, my name is Xu Qingmei.”
Hearing his words, everyone present sucked in a breath of cold air.
Xu Qingliang, the second ranked expert of Mount Wudang, was second only to the Sect Leader and Zhang Zhenjun. Beneath Mount Wudang, it was unknown how many extremely powerful and grand cultivators were under his tutelage. Rumor had it that the Zhang Zhenjun had always been in secluded meditation, ignoring worldly matters. Xu Qing had been the one to decide everything in Mount Wudang.
No matter how high their status was, no one dared to speak carelessly in front of Xu Qing. The Jianghu has recognized that Wudang Mountain is the orthodox sect of Dao. Most cultivators of the Central Plains considered themselves disciples of the Daoist sects. Regardless of which sect it was, they all acknowledged that cultivation had started in the Dao Sect. Therefore, everyone was filled with reverence towards Mount Wudang. Even Daxi Shenghuang would always be courteous in front of the Zhang Zhenjun.
Of course, if it was about cultivation level, the Zhang Zhenjun might not be Chen Wunuo’s match.
An Zheng immediately stood up and walked over, clasping both hands: “Greetings senior.”
Xu Qing shook her head. “Being old isn’t much of a reason to be respected, so there’s no need for you to be so courteous.” This object was actually a talisman. It was personally drawn by the founder of the Founding Faction. It contained the power of the world’s primordial flames. There’s no need to mention its power, but you may or may not know how to control it. If any of you don’t mind, I’ll accept the talisman. If you need any help from Mount Wudang in the future, you can just come find me, Xu Qing, and let me pass. ”
He looked at An Zheng and took ouorcelain bottle, “People in the martial arts world, whether they are born or entered society, must keep their word and keep their word. I’ll give you the golden core, and I don’t have that many Golden-Rank Spirit Stone with me, if you trust me and leave your address, I’ll get someone to send it to you. Or maybe, you can go to Mount Wudang for it yourself. ”
An Zheng said: “A Purple Golden-Rank medicinal pellet is already a rare treasure and its value is the same as this talisman paper. Five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone would not be needed.”
Xu Qing’s face fell, as if she couldn’t believe that there was someone in the world who didn’t care about the five hundred Golden-Rank Spirit Stone. However, An Zheng’s eyes were clear, and he could not see any other scheme behind it, so he let out a long sigh: “A young person’s abilities must be respected.”
With his status, he actually gave a deep bow and turned around to leave.
“If anything happens, just ask me, Xu Qing, to step aside.”
An Zheng shrugged his shoulders, walked back and spread his hands: “I am a little tired today, so I will store the remaining things in Helian Family’s shop. The item will be here. I believe the people of Helian Family will not do anything. ”
After saying that, An Zheng pulled Chen Shaobai and Qi Tian and left. Those people looked at each other, not knowing what An Zheng was trying to do. But even though An Zheng had left, the things were still there, so no one stopped him.
After walking for a long distance, Chen Shaobai said in a low voice, “You’re really ambitious. With so many good things left here, you’re not afraid of others stealing them away.”
An Zheng laughed: Who are they? They were all staring at him. Only a fool would make the first move. Helian Family dares? Even the Left and Zhou family did not dare to, and would always watch each other. What’s more … There are only three objects in that pile of stones. ”
Chen Shaobai was startled: “What do you mean?”
An Zheng laughed out loud, “That’s exactly what I meant, out of those dozens of stones, only these three have things. They don’t know. Let them keep watch. Now that half of the palace’s experts are in Helian Family’s shop, let’s do what we need to do. ”
Chen Shaobai finally reacted: “You … “So you were scheming against them!”
An Zheng laughed: “There will be more experts coming over, and Inside the Immortal Palace will quickly become empty. If we enter the Star Seizer Pavilion again, no one will be able to snatch it away from us. ”
Chen Shaobai: “You make it sound simple, you don’t even know where Star Seizer Pavilion is.”
An Zheng said mysteriously: “I know.”
