第四卷 七星岛 第七百三十五章 火属性极品晶石

The oppressive spiritual pressure felt suffocating, and Lin Xuan inwardly cursed. However, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure it.

"Good job," the Tyrant Demon King said with a hint of surprise. "A Condensation Core cultivator with such courage—this old king doesn't ask about the origin of this ancient soil medicinal herb. Will you be willing to exchange it with me?"

The Tyrant Demon King's eyes flashed with an unusual color as he spoke softly.

"Friend, what do you mean? Your dragon clan has a much longer lifespan than us cultivators. Besides, this herb may not be useful for your kind. Are you trying to cause trouble?" Huangmei True Man frowned and stepped forward again.

Although he had some respect for the old monster, he wasn't going to give up on the Elixir of Immortality so easily.

"Haha," Huangmei said with a sly smile. "You're mistaken. In a transaction, it's about what each party has that the other needs. There's no such thing as causing trouble. You can't have your cake and eat it too. As for the Elixir of Immortality, while it won't increase our lifespan, I have my own plans. Do you really think I need to explain everything?"

Huangmei True Man was furious but hesitated before continuing: "Tyrant Brother, sharp-tongued as you are, I can't argue with you. If you truly possess a top-grade crystal stone, I won't say another word. But if not..."

"Alright," the Tyrant Demon King agreed.

Seeing how quickly he promised, Huangmei True Man felt uneasy. Could it be...

Impossible. Such an item had long been extinct in the mortal world tens of thousands of years ago. Even if this guy was the head of the dragon clan, he couldn't possibly have such a miraculous treasure.

The two ancient monsters disregarded him and decided on thebelong to;归属 (in a more specific context): affiliation; assignment; attribution of the Elixir of Immortality. Lin Xuan wasn't angry; instead, he felt relieved. This way, he didn't need to make a choice or offend anyone.

Unlike Huangmei True Man, Lin Xuan was very good at reading people's expressions. The old monster didn't seem like someone who would bluff. Perhaps he could bring him an unexpected surprise.

He needed top-grade crystal stones; only then could he return to the mortal world.

The other Core Formation cultivators had also given up their greed and held their breaths, waiting to see who could claim the Elixir of Immortality last.

With everyone's eyes on him, the Tyrant Demon King raised his hand... gently tapping a storage bag at his waist. A flash of silver light appeared in his palm, revealing an egg-sized stone.

Everyone widened their eyes...

But soon, the expressions of the cultivators turned strange.

"Haha," said the Tyrant Demon King with a mocking smile. "Are you making jokes, Tyrant Friend? This is just a common lower-grade fire attribute crystal stone. What do you think it's top-grade?"

Huangmei True Man stroked his beard, his lips curling into a sneer.

"Even as a top-tier figure on Spirit Beast Island, isn't it too presumptuous to make such jokes?" the White Deer Youth laughed. He had just seen this old monster kill his nephew and niece, so he couldn't help but take advantage of the opportunity to get some revenge.

The other ancient monsters also chuckled with glee. For humans, both in reason and emotion, they naturally stood by Huangmei True Man.

"Hmph."

Facing everyone's ridicule, the Tyrant Demon King remained expressionless as he extended his hand towards the crystal stone in his palm. A sword of light shot out from his fingertips and pierced the surface of the stone.

A crack appeared...

At first, it was as thin as a hair, but soon spread like spider webs in all directions.

"Look."

The crack revealed red light flickering before an astonishing amount of spiritual energy burst forth.

Huangmei True Man's expression turned serious. Lin Xuan widened his eyes, his heart racing uncontrollably.

"Piercing..."

As the cracks increased, the crystal stone finally shattered into pieces. A small, fire-red crystal no bigger than a walnut appeared in the Tyrant Demon King's palm.

Despite being several meters apart, Lin Xuan could feel the abundant spiritual energy—it was not only powerful but pure as well.

"What is this?"

Huangmei True Man was stunned; he hadn't expected the other party to actually bring out the legendary top-grade crystal stone.

Everyone else's expressions were equally shocked. This conference had been full of unexpected surprises—things that should have only existed in legends.

Seeing their astonishment, the Tyrant Demon King couldn't help but feel pleased. He turned and glanced at Lin Xuan: "How about it, Tyrant Friend? Will you exchange your top-grade crystal stone with me?"

"Of course," said Lin Xuan, tapping his chin. This matter was significant, so he had to be cautious.

The Tyrant Demon King handed the red crystal stone to him without hesitation. As a Condensation Core cultivator, there was nothing to worry about.

Lin Xuan carefully took it and examined it closely.

This crystal resembled a walnut in shape and size, wrapped in a layer of crimson light. Holding it felt strangely warm.

Despite its small size, the spiritual energy seemed boundless.

Strange things happened as Lin Xuan waved his hands with some magical power. The originally transparent air suddenly rippled like water waves, revealing colorful light points.

As soon as these light points appeared, the crystal stone in Lin Xuan's hand began to tremble. Red light points were absorbed by the crystal stone one after another.

"This can absorb spiritual energy on its own—it truly is a top-grade crystal stone. Good deal," said Lin Xuan with delight as he took out a wooden box and carefully placed the crystal stone inside, then affixed some talismans before putting it away in his storage bag.

The Tyrant Demon King watched but made no attempt to stop him until Lin Xuan finished everything. Only then did he say calmly, "Since you've accepted my crystal stone, what about the Elixir of Immortality?"

"Oh!"

Lin Xuan had already hidden the precious medicinal herb as soon as the unexpected situation arose. Now that his wrist moved, a snow-white ancient soil medicinal herb appeared in his palm.
