The knife-scarred man slapped the table and laughed exaggeratedly.
His strange behavior made Qin Shi frown. He asked the brothel keeper, "What is he laughing at?"
The brothel keeper covered her face and chuckled. The only one who didn't laugh was Kong Hyun-hui. She was still indifferent but she explained, "They are laughing at your ignorance."
"Why?" Qin Shi was confused.
"Do you think this is a small kingdom or a small sect?"
Kong Hyun-hui said coldly, "This is the Beast Ground. Who would use something as lowly as Spiritual Stones here? They only recognize Mystic Crystals. That's the common currency here."
"Mystic Crystals?" Qin Shi licked his lips. He had never heard of such a thing.
"Black Crystal is a type of mineral that is more suitable for cultivation than Spirit Stones. Not only does each Black Crystal contain a large amount of spiritual power, but it also contains a small amount of elemental power. It is the true currency of this continent." The evil demon explained to Qin Shi.
Soon after, he paused for a while and said, "Originally, I thought that you would only come into contact with Glazed Crystals when you reach the so-called Eight Regions. After all, Glazed Crystals can only be produced in fertile and prosperous places. A Lower Grade Glazed Crystal is equivalent to tens of millions of Upper Grade Spiritual Stones. However, it seems that the development of the continent in the past tens of thousands of years is much faster than I expected."
"I see …!" Qin Shi suddenly understood. He didn't know that there were more powerful ores than Spiritual Stones.
And the value was so exaggerated?
A low-grade Mystic Crystal was equivalent to tens of millions of Spiritual Stones. What the hell was that?
Was it a robbery?
Did that mean that even when he was at his richest, he could only exchange for a dozen low-grade Mystic Crystals?
Immediately, Qin Shi felt as if he had turned from a nouveau riche into a nouveau riche.
"But this also proves something. The Beast Ground uses Mystic Crystals. This means that we are very close to the center of the Chaotic Lands," the demon said.
Qin Shi nodded his head. This should be considered a blessing in misfortune.
"Sir … Erm, if you don't have any Glazed Crystal, then forget it. One hundred Spirit Stones …" At this point, the madam shook her head with a look of disdain. "I won't accept this deal even if it's Kong Hyun-hui."
Originally, the brothel keeper was vexed that Qin Shi had chosen Kong Xianhui. Now, she couldn't help but rejoice.
After a moment of silence, Qin Shi's brothel keeper said, "Mystical crystals?
How much do you want? "
"Hmm?"
The brothel keeper was stunned. "If it's Kong Hyun-hui, it'll be one low-grade mysterious crystal for one night, including the accommodation fee.
Why, do you have it? "
Qin Shi spread his hands and shrugged. "I definitely don't have it now, but I will have it soon. Please wait for me for a while."
"Hmm?" The brothel keeper didn't understand. Before she could come back to her senses, she saw Qin Shi walk to the scarred man's table.
Qin Shi had a strange smile on his face. He walked to the scarred man's table and sat down without saying hello. "Brother, you've been laughing at me for a long time. Have you had enough?"
"What do you mean?" The scarred man stopped laughing.
Qin Shi sized him up. This knife-scarred man was in the early stages of the Four Heavens Realm. His strength was still slightly weaker than Blood Dragon's. Qin Shi extended his hand and said, "It's nothing much. I just want to borrow some Glazed Crystals from you.
As soon as he said that, the temperature of the beastly night dropped.
Many of the onlookers frowned. "Is this kid crazy?
Does he want to steal the scarred man's Xuan Crystals? "
"Heh, the scarred man isn't that scary. But his brother is a small deacon in the Chaotic Lands. He's doing well there. He's just looking for trouble."
"He doesn't know what's good for him."
The scarred man's face stiffened. He stared at Qin Shi fiercely. "Heh, kid, what did you just say?
You want to borrow some Xuan Crystals from me? "
"Yeah."
"I think you're so poor that you've gone crazy!"
The scarred man slammed the table. He stood up and grabbed Qin Shi with one hand. "You want to borrow money from me? Fine. Give me half of your life and I'll give you a Xuan Crystal."
Bang!
However, just as he made his move, Qin Shi's black robe flashed, and with a grappling motion, he grabbed the knife-scarred man and quickly lifted him up. His other hand reached out and grabbed the knife-scarred man's shoulder, forcefully pressing it down.
Boom!
Just as everyone was in a daze, they heard a loud bang. The knife-scarred man's huge head smashed into the solid wood table below with a crash. Immediately after, there were a few consecutive cracking sounds. The solid wood table was directly shattered, and his entire body flipped to the ground.
Qin Shi pressed him down and said coldly, "Hehe, since you don't want to lend it to me, then don't blame me for doing it myself. After all, you were the one who laughed at me first, right?"
As he spoke, Qin Shi took off the scarred man's spatial ring. He used his mental force to erase the imprint on it and took out more than twenty Xuan Crystals.
Of course, it wasn't that he was generous. The problem was that the scarred man only had these twenty or so crystals on him.
After weighing it for a bit, Qin Shi drank it. "Alright, I'm a poor ghost. How are you any better? I've been in this place for so long and I only have these few Xuan Crystals. How boring."
The entire process took less than three seconds.
The entire audience was dumbstruck. Although the scarred man wasn't the strongest person here, he was still a Heaven's Equal Realm martial artist. To think that he couldn't even last three seconds in Qin Shi's hands.
"Just now, what happened just now?"
"Are you kidding me?
Isn't that kid only in the Heaven Seizing Realm? "
The contempt from before had clearly disappeared.
The corner of Qin Shi's mouth still had a light smile. He didn't care about the strange scene around him and threw the Xuan Crystal in his hand towards the procuress. "Is that enough?"
Catching the Xuan Crystal, the procuress immediately came back to her senses. "Enough, enough."
She didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Thinking about how she looked down on Qin Shi just now, she wanted to slap herself.
"Stinking brat, I'm going to kill you!"
But at this moment, the scarred man crawled out from the wood shavings and glared at Qin Shi with a sinister expression. It was as if he wanted to tear Qin Shi to shreds with his hands.
The scarred man stood up. The atmosphere became tense once again.
Many people took a few steps back with the intention of watching a good show.
"This is interesting."
"Yes, this scarred man usually relies on his brother's position in the Chaotic Realm to act arrogantly in the beast arena. He's not a good person. Today, this kid offended him. He won't have a good ending."
"That's right. It was that kid's sneak attack that caught the scarred man off guard. Now that the scarred man has reacted, this kid shouldn't be his opponent."
The crowd discussed in low voices. Qin Shi heard the angry roar behind him and frowned. He turned around and said, "Yo, you're pretty good at taking a beating?"
After hearing what Qin Shi said, the scarred man became even angrier. He also believed that Qin Shi had sneak attacked him. If they had fought head on, he definitely wouldn't have been defeated.
"Stinking brat, you've f * cking angered me. No one in the beast arena dares to treat me like this. Today, I'll send you to hell!"
The scarred man howled. His strength was extremely terrifying. He stomped hard on the ground, causing it to sink quite a bit. He raised his fist, which was like a large copper bell, and smashed it towards Qin Shi's face.
The veins on his broad arms were throbbing, and even the surrounding hurricanes were torn apart.
Under this intense pressure, Qin Shi slightly raised his head. His expression was extremely calm, without a trace of fear.
"You don't learn from your mistakes."
With a light snort, Qin Shi waved his hand, and a miniature golden pagoda floated from his palm, instantly blocking in front of his chest.
Boom!
The scarred man's full force hit the golden pagoda, instantly creating a violent hurricane at the point of contact. The surrounding people frowned and quickly opened up their barriers.
But in the next moment, the hurricane dispersed. Countless people's pupils constricted, as if they had seen a ghost.
"How, how is this possible?"
The golden pagoda stood unscathed under the scarred man's fist. On the contrary, the scarred man was forced back a few steps, dumbfounded.
What a joke, the relic's legacy was an extreme defensive martial art that even a fifth-sky martial artist wouldn't be able to damage. How could a fourth-sky martial artist break it?
Xiu!
But the shock didn't end there. Qin Shi stretched out his hand, and his five fingers hooked downwards. The golden pagoda spun half a circle. "Pagoda Become One!"
Rumble!
The golden pagoda suddenly burst out like a sharp sword that could shoot down the sun. It struck Dao Ba with all its might and sent him flying.
Boom!
Even the walls were shattered. One should know that the walls of the beastly night were protected by a terrifying defensive barrier.
Complete defeat, the scarred man was completely defeated.
"Gulp …!"
Everyone swallowed their saliva, once again shocked speechless. If the first time was a fluke, a sneak attack, then how could they explain this time?
"Where did this kid come from?" No one dared to look down on Qin Shi anymore.
After sending the scarred man flying, Qin Shi smiled and clapped his hands, as if he was very satisfied with his masterpiece. He walked to the brothel keeper and threw two more Glazed Crystals. "These two are compensation. I'm sorry that you were buried here. Where is my room?"
The brothel keeper took the two Glazed Crystals and blinked. This Qin Shi was too generous, wasn't he?
Two Glazed Crystals … She turned pale and quickly agreed. She was very polite. "I, I'll take you there now."
The brothel keeper brought Qin Shi to the room. The room was very simple. There was only a bed, a table, and nothing else. It was very dirty and messy.
It was obvious that this was a place for men to show their wild nature.
Qin Shi frowned. Obviously, he didn't like this kind of place. However, he didn't show it. He just sat down with a smile.
Kong Hyun-hui followed him into the room.
When Qin Shi looked back, his expression suddenly froze. He felt that his mouth was dry and the blood in his body was boiling.
Unbeknownst to him, Kong Xianhui had already taken off her green clothes and was standing alone at the head of the bed. Qin Shi's gaze drifted over, but she didn't feel the slightest bit shy. She continued to drag her clothes numbly and emptily. Very soon, only her underwear was left to cover her body, but she still had no intention of stopping.
"Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing?"
Qin Shi turned over, stood on the bed, and took a few steps back. He looked as if Kong Hyun-hui was going to molest him. The scene was so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look at it.
Looking at Qin Shi strangely, Kong Hyun-hui spat out two words calmly.
