Zhou Lei ignored Fang Chen and continued to trade with the other three.
However, Fang Chen had a thought when he heard that.
He wanted to stop Zhou Lei.
"Sirs, what kind of trade did you make with Zhou Lei?" Fang Chen laughed.
The Tai Hua Dynasty's Hua Feilong and the Capricorn Sect's Hei Xie didn't say anything. Only Gu Sen spoke.
Gu Sen's personality was arrogant, and he looked down on ordinary people.
However, he greatly admired Fang Chen from the bottom of his heart.
Zhou Lei's strength was far from his, but he had relied on his own strength to enter the Icesnow Weeping Peak and leave.
Even if he hadn't obtained the Icesnow Water God Pearl, it was enough to gain his approval.
"Zhou Lei has three Icesnow Water God Pearls that he wants to trade with us." Gu Sen nodded to Fang Chen.
"Oh, if my guess is correct, this Zhou Lei will definitely try to take advantage of the situation." Fang Chen laughed mischievously.
Gu Sen didn't say anything, but his gaze made Fang Chen understand.
"If I may ask, what did Zhou Lei want from you?" Fang Chen continued to ask.
"Brat, my trade with others has nothing to do with you. Don't disturb me." Zhou Lei was a bit displeased.
Hearing this, Fang Chen sneered and said, "Coincidentally, I was lucky enough to obtain more than one Ice Snow Water Divine Pearl when I entered the Weeping Snow Peak. If the three of you need it, you can take it."
Hearing that, Zhou Lei's expression changed drastically. His pitch-black eyes stared straight at Fang Chen.
The Tai Hua Dynasty's Hua Feilong's eyes brightened, and he was the first to speak. "Zhou Lei wants four cities from my Tai Hua Dynasty."
"What an exorbitant demand." Fang Chen strangely smiled.
Hua Feilong hastily asked, "What price do I have to pay to obtain the Icesnow Water God Pearl in your hands?"
Crash!
Fang Chen shook his wrist, and a snow-white pearl appeared in his palm.
Everyone stared at the pearl with burning eyes, and the plaza became restless.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Fang Chen threw out the Ice Snow Water God's Pearl.
Hua Feilong grabbed the Ice Snow Water God Pearl and looked at Fang Chen in confusion.
"Brother Hua, it's just a mere Ice Snow Water Deity's Pearl. Take it as a gift from me, Fang Chen." Fang Chen said in a forthright manner.
Hua Feilong widened his eyes in disbelief.
The higher-ups of the Tai Hua Empire behind him were confused as well.
"This …" Hua Feilong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Fang Chen.
"Could it be that Brother Hua doesn't want to be friends with me?" Fang Chen asked.
"No, of course not."
Hua Feilong pondered for a moment. He tightly gripped the Ice Snow Water God Pearl in his hand and said, "I, Hua Feilong, owe you a favor. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, I will definitely do my best to help you."
"Little friend, if you ever come to the Tai Hua Empire, we will definitely treat you with the highest level of respect," said one of the higher-ups of the Tai Hua Empire.
When Fang Chen heard this, he smiled slightly.
Logically speaking, they were all competing with each other. Moreover, their target was his wife.
This Ice Snow Water God Pearl definitely couldn't be given to them.
However, from another perspective, Fang Chen's actions were simply too wise.
Even if Fang Chen didn't give it to Hua Feilong, the latter would still be able to get it from Zhou Lei. He would just have to pay a price.
And now, not only had Fang Chen ruined Zhou Lei's deal, but he had also befriended a prodigy like Hua Feilong.
Wasn't this a wonderful thing?
"Brat, do you want to die?" Zhou Lei glared at Fang Chen and roared furiously.
Fang Chen sneered, "Only you, Zhou Lei, are allowed to make deals. Am I not allowed to make deals with others? How laughable."
"Zhou Lei, don't go too far." Hua Feilong timely stepped forward and spoke up for Fang Chen.
This was the principle of 'if you eat someone's food, you can't bear the consequences'.
Fang Chen directly ignored Zhou Lei and looked at the other two.
Whoosh.
He took out two Ice Snow Water God Pearls and gave them to Gu Sen and the Capricorn Sect's Hei Xie.
"We are unable to repay such a great favor. If Brother Fang needs anything in the future, we will go through water and tread on fire for you." The two of them both promised Fang Chen.
After all, Fang Chen had allowed them to obtain the Ice Snow Water God Pearl without paying any price. This favor was simply too great.
On the other hand, Zhou Lei was stamping with rage. If it weren't for Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi, he would have attacked Fang Chen.
"Brat, are you provoking my Zhou family by doing this?" Zhou Lei said coldly.
This brat had given the three of them Ice Snow Water God Pearls. This meant that his own Ice Snow Water God Pearl was useless.
He could have used it to exchange for a large amount of resources, but now it was useless.
Zhou Lei's heart burned with rage. He wanted nothing more than to tear Fang Chen to shreds.
The higher-ups of the Zhou family were also furious, but they didn't do anything because of Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi.
However, that terrifying gaze said it all.
"Zhou Lei, the Ice Snow Water God Pearl belongs to Brother Fang. What can you do about who he gives it to?"
Lone Ranger Gu Sen said coldly.
"I think Brother Fang is in the right. But you, Zhou Lei, keep making things difficult for Brother Fang. You even use the Zhou family to suppress Brother Fang. What do you want?" Black Scorpion said. "This is Lotus Mountain, not your Zhou family's territory."
Zhou Lei clenched his fists and glared at Fang Chen.
"Brat, I will tear you to shreds!"
Zhou Lei swore in his heart.
He definitely wouldn't take this lying down.
Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi and the Empress of Xianxu saw everything below.
"The time limit is up. Although the process exceeded my expectations, the final result is very gratifying."
Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi's words caused the entire plaza to fall silent.
"Now that the five of you have Ice Snow Water God Pearls, you can be considered to have passed my initial test," Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi said softly.
"However, the following test will be even more difficult."
After Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi finished speaking, the Empress of Xianxu stepped forward and explained, "There is an extremely dangerous mountain range near Lotus Mountain called the Lotus Mountain Range.
As everyone knows, the Lotus Mountain Range is the burial ground of Gods.
The dangers inside are not something Gods can withstand. "
"The test this time is for the five of you to enter the Lotus Mountain Range and kill a peak Divine Spirit Realm Divine Beast.
No matter what method you use, as long as you can bring back its head, you will pass the test, "the Empress of Xianxu continued.
Whoosh.
The crowd below was in an uproar. Everyone knew how terrifying the Lotus Mountain Range was.
Who would have thought that Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi would set the test in the Lotus Mountain Range?
"If you want to become my disciple's husband, you naturally need to be extremely powerful. If you don't dare, you can withdraw," Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi said coldly.
Fang Chen and the others naturally wouldn't withdraw.
"The time limit is still one month.
During this time, I will strictly monitor the Lotus Mountain Range.
If other forces enter the Lotus Mountain Range, don't blame us for turning against you. "
Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi was warning them that the forces behind the five of them weren't allowed to participate.
The test this time was for the five young geniuses.
Empyrean Goddess Lian Yi left with the Empress of Xianxu, leaving behind an incomparably shocked crowd.
"Lotus Mountain Range." Fang Chen still didn't know how terrifying it was.
"Brother Fang, this second test is even more dangerous than the first. I'm really worried about you." The Ice Dragon Spirit King wanted to dissuade Fang Chen from giving up, but he knew that was impossible.
So he could only do his best to help Fang Chen.
"Brother Han Long, is the Lotus Mountain Range really that terrifying?" Fang Chen asked.
"Divine Spirit Realm Divine Beasts are considered weak in the Lotus Mountain Range.
If you're unlucky and encounter a Heavenly God Divine Beast, you'll definitely die, "said the Ice Dragon Spirit King bitterly.
"Big brother Han Long, you don't need to worry.
Maybe I'll be lucky and won't encounter a Heavenly God Divine Beast, "said Fang Chen with a smile.
The Sky Prison Saint shook his head. "Even if you don't encounter a Heavenly God Divine Beast, with your strength, you still won't be able to kill one."
If a Divine Spirit Realm Divine Beast fought alone, its combat power would be comparable to a Heavenly God's.
It was unknown how many times stronger than a Deity of the same realm.
The Ice Dragon Spirit King and the Sky Prison Saint were naturally worried about Fang Chen.
However, just as Fang Chen was about to speak, Gu Sen, Hua Feilong, and the Capricorn Sect's Hei Xie walked over.
"What are they doing here?" Fang Chen was a bit confused.
