Chapter 2136 - 2137: Shameless Uncle! (Third Update)

"One million upper-grade Elemental Stones!"

That little girl was truly blunt!

A broken clay doll, and she dared to ask for a million!

Ling Feng felt a wave of darkness across his forehead, was she taking him for a big fool?

Just as Ling Feng was about to open his mouth to rebut, his eyes suddenly swept over the girl’s street stall and found a peculiar stone.

Neither round nor square, with some odd pits and marks that seemed intentionally polished, but it looked like someone gave up on smoothing it entirely.

Thus, the stone resembled a roadside pebble, totally worthless.

But there seemed to be something unique about this stone, which is why it was left here as if it were an item for sale.

Firstly, this girl was famous; known as an expert scam artist, and almost ninety percent of the things on her stall were fake, so hardly anyone bothered to take a look.

Secondly, something as inconspicuous as this, with deliberate marks of polishing, was clearly garbage, and nobody would pay it any heed.

So, this item just kept lying here; even if given away for free, no one would want it.

However, Ling Feng noticed something unusual.

Because he clearly sensed a change from the Eastern Emperor Bell!

The Eastern Emperor Bell was a Divine Artifact, but due to Ling Feng’s lack of strength, he’d never been able to activate this treasure; besides having the babbling Mr. Huang (Huang Shaotian) nearby, the Eastern Emperor Bell had never shown any use.

But this time, this cool Divine Artifact actually sent him a signal!

Even though the Five Elements Heavenly Palace was sealed, the connection between the Eastern Emperor Bell and him didn’t seem to be completely severed.

A Divine Artifact, truly a Divine Artifact!

If it was something that triggered the Eastern Emperor Bell’s reaction, it must not be ordinary!

Ling Feng took a deep breath and gritted his teeth saying, "Little girl, one million, do you think I’m a big fool?"

"Humph, you damaged my precious artistic treasure, and now you want to deny it?"

The girl spoke, her eyes suddenly turning red, as if she was about to cry at any moment, "Oh, heartless uncle, bullying an innocent girl! Is there no justice?"

"Heartless... uncle..."

Ling Feng’s mouth twitched, he really had turned into an uncle...

But Fu Xueqing, seeing the girl was about to cry, bit her silver teeth and said, "Junior Brother Ling, how about I... I compensate instead?"

Ling Feng glared at Fu Xueqing in irritation, this woman, really doing good deeds in a bad way!

Originally he could at least bargain, but now this cunning little girl heard Fu Xueqing relent, surely she’s set on getting him!

"One million, fine!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes, his face darkened and said, "But don’t take me for a fool, I can give you one million upper-grade Elemental Stones, but I want everything on your stall!"

To avoid letting this girl discover his true intentions and quote an exorbitant price, Ling Feng shifted his attention, pretending to be deceived, and asked for all her items.

"Sure sure sure!"

The girl, unsuspecting, immediately laughed heartily, "Really, you are so greedy! I’m kind; these precious artistic treasures, they’re all yours!"

After speaking, she snatched the card from Ling Feng’s hand, took one million, and vanished like a flash.

As for the stall, left it alone!

This little girl was just like a cunning fox!

"These days, there really are fools!"

"Idiot, a million for a pile of trash!"

"Rich and dumb!"

"..."

All sorts of mocking voices immediately came from around, indeed, the little girl’s stall was full of trash, beast bones, low-level...

Magic artifacts, clay-made...

Basically, not a single valuable item.

No wonder she took a million and ran faster than a rabbit, afraid Ling Feng might regret it.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ling Feng gathered all the trash on the ground, not missing anything, apart from that special stone he tucked into his pocket, everything else he handed over to Fu Xueqing.

"Senior Sister Fu, please keep these things for me."

Ling Feng glanced back at Fu Xueqing and said lightly.

"Ah? Oh oh!"

Fu Xueqing was first stunned, then realized Ling Feng was sealed and couldn’t open the Spirit Storage Ring, she immediately responded, packing the big pile of "garbage" into the Spirit Storage Ring.

"Junior Brother, I’ll return these to you once we’re back at the sect."

Even though they were worth a million, Fu Xueqing felt she shouldn’t take advantage of this.

"Well, thank you very much!"

Ling Feng rolled his eyes just the same, one was a girl cunning as a fox, the other a woman foolish as a pig...

"You’re welcome!"

Fu Xueqing smiled broadly, completely oblivious to Ling Feng’s hidden sarcasm, instead thinking, Ling Feng seemed like a good person.

At least, he was quite polite!

Ling Feng felt a wave of darkness across his forehead, this woman, her innocence is a bit terrifying!

After being scammed by the little girl, Ling Feng no longer felt like browsing; he took Fu Xueqing directly to the Tianyang Inn where they had agreed to meet before.

Back in his room, Ling Feng took out the ordinary-looking stone and examined it carefully.

Heavy in hand.

This was Ling Feng’s only impression; apart from that, he couldn’t find anything special about it.

Still, being able to trigger a reaction from the Eastern Emperor Bell, this item must have some connection to the so-called World Power?

According to Mr. Huang’s (Yellow Emperor’s) explanation, the Eastern Emperor Bell was the Gate of Ten Thousand Worlds, possessing magical powers that connect countless worlds, only things containing World Power could cause a reaction from the Eastern Emperor Bell.

And this inconspicuous little stone was likely extremely precious.

A million, seeming a loss, but he’d really hit the jackpot.

...

One night’s rest.

Early the next morning, under Elder Wen Xu’s arrangements, Ling Feng, Fu Xueqing, and two other Elixir Sect geniuses were finally going to enter the Netherworld Palace, officially meeting the powerful figures of the Kongming Divine Race.

Ling Feng felt uneasy; the Kongming Divine Race determined whether he could leave the Milo Continent, no matter what he must cure the amnesiac Princess.

With the Supreme Mysterious Acupuncture Technique in hand, Ling Feng believed, under the heavens, there shouldn’t be any rare ailment that could defeat him.

Soon, the group arrived outside a magnificent cluster of buildings, before them, the so-called Netherworld Palace.

In the Milo Continent, the Kongming Divine Race was akin to the Royal Family, ruling the world.

This situation is somewhat different from that in the Eastern Spirit Domain or Sword Domain.

Whether in Eastern Spirit Domain or Sword Domain, the Divine Race elite disdained interacting with outsiders, merely maintaining balance among various powers, guardians of order.

But in Milo Continent, the Kongming Divine Race was the absolute overlord, no wonder they preferred staying within Milo Continent, thriving in a peaceful corner.

Becoming a local tyrant here was much more enjoyable than being a reclusive high person in the outside world.

Arriving outside the Imperial Palace, a tall Silver Armored General immediately came to receive them, resembling the young man from the Kongming Divine Race they encountered at the Hundred Treasures Market yesterday, their figure was tall, over two meters, subliminally giving a sense of oppressiveness.

The Silver Armored General looked quite dignified, glanced at Elder Wen Xu lightly, and merely nodded, saying blandly, "Follow me,"

Then, without looking back, he turned and strode off.

This arrogant attitude was rather displeasing.

Perhaps, the entire Kongming Divine Race considered themselves superior, utterly looking down on ordinary Mortal People.
