Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
What attracted Ye Xuan’s attention was a stone.
[ Penglai Immortal Stone detected, a specialty of Penglai Immortal Island ]
Ye Xuan was curious about this stone because he had never heard of the name of the stone before. “Penglai Immortal Island. What is that place?”
Furthermore, the description of the stone was very vague. It only told Ye Xuan it was a local specialty and nothing else.
This stone was black and emitted a black jade-like luster. Other than its color, it was no different from other stones, but it was much lighter.
Ye Xuan tried to inject spiritual power into it, but nothing happened. There was no reaction. No matter how he tested it, there was no reaction. It looked like a pretty stone and nothing special.
“Forget it. I’ll keep it first.”
There was nothing special about this pile of things except this so-called Penglai Immortal Stone. Ye Xuan had given some items to the others. As for the trash, he had thrown them all away.
The next day, Ye Xuan appeared in the same spot as yesterday.
The hawkers along the street recognized this God of Fortune at a glance. It immediately caused a great sensation. After all, this man had supreme-grade spirit stones, so how could they not have a deep impression of him?
“Fellow cultivator, come and take a look! I have a cultivation technique passed down from my ancestors. It is said to be created by a super strong elite. If you cultivate it to the peak stage, you can even step on the void and shatter it.”
“Forget it. Your cultivation technique is lousy. Why don’t you take a look at my exclusive elixir? You can increase your cultivation by eating one pill. Advancing will no longer be a problem for you.”
“I think you’re all just bragging. Why don’t you take a look at my shop? I’m honest with the young and the old, and the price is fair.”
The hawker tried to promote himself in front of Ye Xuan, hoping that he could take care of his business.
Who would have thought that Ye Xuan would ask, “Are your things expensive?”
Did he spend all his spirit stones yesterday and was running out of spirit stones? Was that why he was asking this question? The other hawkers looked at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Why would they be so enthusiastic if they could not make a profit? Every hawker became dispirited.
A supreme-grade spirit stone was probably all he had. How could he possibly take out another one today?
There were still a few hawkers who were unwilling to give up. “Our food is good and cheap. It’s affordable.”
Ye Xuan immediately turned around and left after hearing this, leaving them scratching their heads.
“What are you doing? I already said that our things aren’t expensive.” The hawker asked.
Ye Xuan replied without even turning his head. “I only want the expensive stuff.”
Everyone was dumbfounded. Ye Xuan asked them the price because he wanted to buy an expensive one, not because he had no more spiritual stones! At first, the crowd was still suspicious. Then, Ye Xuan took out another supreme-grade spirit stone and bought everything in the stall without hesitation.
Only then did they realize that Ye Xuan wasn’t joking. The stall owner almost went crazy. It was another supreme-grade spirit stone!
“Fellow cultivator, take a look at mine. I have what you want. They are all the most expensive.”
Even those who had said their things were cheap and good had changed their words. The price soared so much that passers-by cast strange looks at him. They didn’t see Ye Xuan, who was surrounded by the crowd, but only heard the sky-high prices.
“These hawkers must be crazy about money. No one would buy it at such a high price.”
“You’re wrong. Some people really want to buy it. Yesterday, a fat sheep appeared here and spent a supreme-grade spirit stone. Today, he came again. It’s no wonder that these hawkers would raise the price.”
“No way, no way. A supreme-grade spirit stone? Which family does this wastrel from? He’s not even afraid of being punished by buying these trashy things.”
“Maybe he has tons of spirit stones and has nowhere to spend them, but he’ll be happy to.”
“But he doesn’t have to be so wasteful. He’s really nuts.”
Many passers-by were attracted to the stall and wanted to see what was going on. They saw Ye Xuan take out a supreme-grade spirit stone and buy everything without blinking. This kind of reckless extravagance made people speechless.
One had to know that there were too many low-quality goods on the stalls. Many of them were just there to make the stalls look full. There was no good stuff to buy at all. Even if the customers wanted to refund, these stall owners were as cunning as foxes and would slip away in advance.
“Even the people of the seven major sects aren’t so generous. Where did this person come from?”
“It’s a new face. Is that guy from another place? Isn’t the sect returning ceremony going to be held soon? ”
Ye Xuan spent money like it was nothing. Even passers-by felt heartache, but his expression didn’t even change. It was as if all this was nothing to him and not worth mentioning.
Finally, someone couldn’t stand it anymore and asked, “Fellow cultivator, what’s the point of buying these things?”
Ye Xuan said very calmly, “It’s not of much use, but it can make me happy. No amount of money can buy my happiness.”
When everyone heard this, they were speechless and couldn’t say anything to refute Ye Xuan. D*mn it, this person was showing off to them.
They were furious. Was this the difference between people?
In the end, more and more people came to watch the show, and even the people from Treasure Pavilion heard the news.
“What’s the situation over there? Why are there so many people?”
“I heard a young man bought all the things on the stall with supreme-grade spirit stones.”
Treasure Pavilion’s Manager Sun immediately revealed a surprised expression. “There’s new.”
Most of the people who traded here were disciples of big sects, but it was rare to see such a generous person. Moreover, he was even using supreme-grade spirit stones to buy those worthless things.
“That’s really strange. Is that guy picking up scraps there? Go and check the situation.”
