On the stone platform, the youth was still introducing the so-called "Divine Forging Stone" in his hand with saliva flying everywhere. However, the appearance of this item was truly too poor. Therefore, many people held a doubtful attitude, and not a single person displayed much interest.
"Exactly how much is this thing of yours worth?"
Just as the youth was feeling somewhat dejected, someone finally asked in a casual manner. This caused his spirits to rise as he replied, "The price is 5,000 Spirit Soldier level Spiritual Lights or 20 Spirit General level Spiritual Lights."
The surroundings of the stone platform turned silent for a while. Soon after, numerous people let out a "pei" sound, looking at the youth as if they were looking at an idiot. Had this fellow gone crazy from thinking about Spiritual Lights?
The youth's face instantly turned a little red when he saw the disdainful gazes of the crowd. He angrily said, "Forget it if you don't want to buy it."
He clearly wasn't cut out to be a merchant, and the item he was selling was completely unattractive. Therefore, with an angry snort, he turned around and left. These fellows truly had eyes but failed to recognize a true treasure. They will regret it in the future.
"Wait."
However, just as he was about to leave, a voice finally rang out. His footsteps paused, and he somewhat doubtfully looked over, only to see a handsome youth smiling at him from below the stone platform. Behind the youth was a breathtakingly beautiful young lady.
"I'll buy this stone." Mu Chen smiled at the youth.
His total harvest over the past two days was twenty five Spirit General level Spiritual Lights. This also included the one that should belong to Luo Li. However, since Luo Li needed this mysterious stone, he would naturally not be stingy.
Hua.
When Mu Chen's words spread, it immediately caused waves of commotion in the area. Astonished gazes after gazes stared at him.
Spending twenty Spirit General level Spiritual Lights to buy a mysterious stone. What was this fellow thinking?
"You want to buy it?" The youth was also stunned for quite a while as he suspiciously looked at Mu Chen.
Twenty Spirit General level Spiritual Lights was not something that anyone could easily take out.
"Are you still selling it?" Sensing the surrounding gazes, Mu Chen's eyebrows faintly wrinkled as he asked.
"Sell!" The youth hurriedly yelled out in a conditioned reflex.
It wasn't easy for him to find a suitable seller. If he missed this opportunity, he probably wouldn't be able to sell it again.
After shouting, he directly handed the black stone in his hand to Mu Chen. From the looks of it, he seemed to be afraid that Mu Chen would go back on his word.
Mu Chen smiled as he reached out his hand to receive it.
Xiu!
However, just as Mu Chen was about to take the black stone, a sudden gust of wind shot towards Mu Chen's outstretched palm.
Sensing the strong wind.
Mu Chen's eyes turned cold.
A backhand slap.
Dark-black Spiritual Energy burned with black flames as it swept out. A palm smacked against the rushing gale.
Dang!
The sound of metal clashing resounded as a dagger was slapped away.
In the end, it buzzed as it shot into a giant boulder, causing it to explode.
At the same time, the dagger was smashed into dust.
The sudden unforeseen event caused everyone to be startled as they hurriedly shifted their gazes. They saw a group of people suddenly rushing in from behind. It was a group of youths dressed in black robes. The youth in the lead was fiddling with a dagger in his hand. The dagger flickered with a sharp and cold glint as it nimbly rotated between his fingers.
"It's Xu Bin from the Dark Group. What is he trying to do?"
The youth seemed to have quite a bit of fame in this area. Upon his appearance, people immediately recognized him and exclaimed in surprise.
The black-robed youth by the name of Xu Bin grinned as he looked at Mu Chen. Clapping his hands, he said, "Haha. Good skills."
Mu Chen's gaze was cold as he stared at that fellow. His expression was a little unfriendly. He didn't have the slightest favorable impression towards people who would take action without rhyme or reason.
"This brother, we have also taken a liking to this stone. Please give us some convenience and let us have it."
Xu Bin paid no attention to Mu Chen's unfriendly expression as he smiled faintly and said, "Of course, since you guys spoke first, I will give you some appropriate compensation. Is that alright?"
Although it was compensation, his expression didn't show the slightest feeling that he was in the wrong. Instead, it seemed more like a form of charity.
"Alright, then compensate us with a thousand spirit general Spiritual Lights." Mu Chen said in an indifferent voice.
The surrounding people immediately grinned when they heard this. A thousand spirit general Spiritual Lights. Would there be that many spirit general level Spiritual Lights in the hands of everyone in this campsite be added up?
Xu Bin's face twitched as he said, "Haha, this brother, please don't joke around. I am Xu Bin, a member of the Dark Group. Please give us some convenience. We have also been paying attention to this thing for quite a long time."
Mu Chen didn't pay any more attention to him. Looking towards the youth, he extended his hand, wanting to take the black stone.
"Haha, since this brother isn't willing to let us have it, then we can only bid normally. The price of this stone is twenty spirit general Spiritual Lights, right?
Then I will bid twenty-two. "Xu Bin smiled again when he saw the situation.
When the youth selling the black stone heard this, his expression instantly changed. It was difficult for him to be stuck in the middle in this situation. It was better to give it to whoever offered the highest price. This way, he wouldn't be considered a sinner.
"This brother …" He looked a little awkwardly at Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's brows slightly furrowed. He didn't think that such an unforeseen event would occur when he bought a stone. These fellows were really loathsome.
"Twenty-five." Mu Chen said with an expressionless face.
When these words were spoken, it attracted quite a few whispers in the surroundings. After all, spirit general level Spiritual Lights weren't that easy to obtain. Twenty-five. That meant that they had to kill twenty-five Heavenly Transformation Stage spirit generals. This wasn't an easy task.
And for Mu Chen to be able to take out twenty-five spirit general Spiritual Lights in one go, he clearly wasn't someone who was easy to deal with.
"Thirty."
A trace of gloom finally flashed across Xu Bin's eyes. Thirty spirit general Spiritual Lights was the greater half of their harvest in these two days.
"Forget it, we don't want it anymore."
Luo Li gently tugged at Mu Chen's sleeves. She knew their foundation. Twenty-five spirit general Spiritual Lights was already their limit.
A trace of anger flashed across Mu Chen's eyes. He no longer had the slightest bit of goodwill towards this Dark Society.
"Xu Bin, it's been so long, yet you still have such a loathsome temperament."
However, just as a dangerous glint flickered within Mu Chen's eyes, a sneer rang out from behind him. Wang Tong, An Ran and the rest had unknowingly arrived. The one who spoke was Wang Tong.
"Wang Tong?"
When Xu Bin saw the three Wang brothers, his eyebrows furrowed. Obviously, he knew them. Immediately, he curled his lips and said: "What?
You also want to join in? "
"However, don't blame me for not reminding you. This' Divine Forging Stone 'isn't something that I fancy, but big brother Mu Fengyang. If you feel that you have the weight, then come and give it a try." Xu Bin sneered. He gave a meaningful glance at Mu Chen and Wang Tong as he spoke.
"Mu Fengyang?
The dark horse that defeated the ninth on the Heavenly Ranking, Jiang Tai? "Upon hearing this name, the expressions of the three Wang brothers slightly changed.
"Heh heh, I'm not interested in joining in. However, I owe Mu Chen a few things from before."
The three Wang brothers seemed to have a grudge with Xu Bin. However, they were afraid of Mu Fengyang and did not dare to offend him too much. Immediately, their eyes moved. With a clench of their hands, a crystal ball that seemed to be burning with flames appeared in their hands. Within it, astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated out, appearing as if they were real.
This crystal ball obviously contained Spiritual Lights. Moreover, they were at the Spirit General level!
"There's a total of thirty Spirit General Spiritual Lights inside. I'll lend them to you first, but you'll have to return them!" Wang Tong said in a low voice with some heartache. This was the total harvest of the three of them.
He had been together with Mu Chen for the past two days. Naturally, he knew that due to them eating alone, Mu Chen and the rest did not have a particularly large harvest. If they were to compete, it was obvious that they would not be able to compete with the other party.
"Thanks, I owe you guys a favor."
Mu Chen was slightly startled. Soon after, he smiled. The favorable impression he had towards the three Wang brothers had become a little stronger. He patted Wang Tong's shoulder and said.
"That Mu Fengyang might also be here. Be careful." Wang Tong's gaze swept in all directions, his eyes filled with fear.
Mu Chen gently nodded his head. He no longer had the slightest bit of favorable impression towards this Black Meeting. Today, he wanted to see exactly who would dare to obstruct him from obtaining this "Divine Forging Stone".
"Thirty-five Spiritual Lights."
Mu Chen tossed the flame-like crystal ball in his hand. His eyes did not contain the slightest bit of warmth as he looked towards Xu Bin and said.
"You!"
Xu Bin finally became angry. He never expected that after mentioning Mu Fengyang's name, Mu Chen and the rest would actually dare to interfere. Thirty-five Spiritual Lights had similarly exceeded their limits.
Although this "Divine Forging Stone" did have some miraculous effects, it did not have such a huge value.
Seeing that Xu Bin was no longer bidding, Mu Chen flicked his finger. Thirty-five Spiritual Knight Spiritual Lights shot towards the youth. The latter hastily received them and carefully glanced at both parties. Then, he handed the black stone in his hand over to Mu Chen.
He could not afford to offend either party. It was better to take the Spiritual Lights and run away as soon as possible, so as to avoid getting involved.
Mu Chen received the black "Divine Forging Stone" and passed it over to Luo Li. The young girl gave a faint smile. That moving beauty caused quite a few people to stare blankly.
"Mu Chen, do you really want to make life difficult for our Black Meeting?" Seeing that the item had fallen into Mu Chen's hands, Xu Bin immediately threatened in anger.
"I dared to smash the Demon's Gate headquarters in front of He Yao. Therefore, you should shut up about this kind of threat."
Mu Chen expressionlessly stared at Xu Bin and said in a cold and stern voice, "Don't provoke me. If not, I'm afraid that you won't be able to pay the price."
Xu Bin and the rest were so angry that they gnashed their teeth. Their gazes were unkind as vigorous Spiritual Energy erupted from their bodies.
Seeing this, Wang Tong and the rest stood beside Mu Chen. Activating their Spiritual Energy, their eyes tightly stared at Xu Bin and the rest.
The atmosphere of both parties seemed to have instantly turned into a state of mutual hostility.
Seeing this, the surrounding crowd hastily retreated a little, afraid of being affected.
However, just as the hostile atmosphere was about to be ignited, a light clapping sound suddenly rang out in this region, followed by a light laughter.
"Haha, truly worthy of being the most outstanding person within this batch of freshmen. However, I don't know if Xu Bin can afford the price, but can I, Mu Fengyang, pay it?"
