Chapter 962: Chapter 13: Forced Buying and Selling?

“This is the Three-colored Divine Stone…” Quite a few cultivators exclaimed in shock. The Three-colored Divine Stone was something they had heard of and knew to be extremely rare, but they had never seen it before. Today was the first time they witnessed such a precious material that could be used to forge a Divine Artifact.

This naturally caused shock and excitement. Normally, anyone obtaining such a treasure would never put it up for sale but would keep it for themselves to forge a Supreme Treasure.

“What’s the Three-colored Divine Stone being traded for?” A cultivator asked.

“Top-grade Spirit Stones!” Lin Feng said.

This surprised everyone even more. Such a treasure as the Three-colored Divine Stone could be exchanged for many valuable Supreme Treasures. In trading areas, bartering was the usual mode, and rarely did anyone exchange Supreme Treasures for Spirit Stones.

Spirit Stones are easy to acquire; Supreme Treasures are hard to come by.

An elder cultivator asked, “Young friend, how many Spirit Stones do you plan to sell for?”

“A fixed price, four million Top-grade Spirit Stones,” Lin Feng said.

“Hiss!” Many people gasped. This was an astronomical figure, and gathering four million Top-grade Spirit Stones was not easy.

“It’s too expensive, could it be a bit cheaper?” The elder asked.

Lin Feng said, “This price is very fair. If you take it to an auction, it might fetch six or seven million.”

The elder replied, “But this isn’t an auction house. Even if people here carry Top-grade Spirit Stones, the quantity is limited. Unlike on the Heavenly Martial Continent, we can’t gather Spirit Stones from other places. You seem eager to sell. I assume you’re in urgent need of Spirit Stones? Let’s both take a step back; how about closing the deal at three million?”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “The price gap is too large. I won’t sell for less than four million.”

The elder, feeling helpless, had to withdraw.

People continued to inquire about the price, but few could offer four million Top-grade Spirit Stones.

However, more and more people gathered to watch because the Three-colored Divine Stone was extraordinary.

At this moment, a group of people approached.

The leading cultivator was tall and burly, with a face full of fierce looking muscle, giving an impression of extreme ferocity and terror.

“Big brother, someone over there is selling a Three-colored Divine Stone,” one of the cultivators pointed in Lin Feng’s direction.

The cultivator with the fierce looking face’s eyes suddenly lit up, “What a treasure! This is material for crafting a Divine Artifact. If it’s integrated into my Mountain Splitting Axe, wouldn’t the power of my axe greatly increase?”

The group quickly made their way toward Lin Feng.

“Get out of the way. Didn’t you see our big brother coming?”

“Are you blind? Hurry up and move!”

These cultivators were incredibly arrogant, kicking any slow-moving ones to the ground.

Some were furious and wanted to protest.

But they were held back by their companions.

“These people are from the Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect. Do you want to die by offending them?”

…

Upon hearing their identities, many people’s expressions changed dramatically.

Lin Feng had encountered this sect, the Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect, previously.

In the Death Swamp, the Five Ancient Forces of Tianzhou joined forces, wielded the Emperor Weapon Time Sword, and aimed to seize the “Heavenly Demon Fruit” from the Heavenly Demon Clan.

The Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect was among these five forces.

The Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect is a faction with both righteous and evil tendencies, filled with powerful experts, and their actions are extremely domineering.

Some uphold justice outside, slaying demons.

Others act recklessly, committing mass murder.

For this reason, the Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect has received quite a bit of criticism.

…

“Kid, how much for this Three-colored Divine Stone?” The cultivator with the fierce looking face asked.

Someone recognized the identity of this cultivator, named Luo Hong. Anyone familiar with the Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect would be shocked because the sect master of the Heavenly State Divine Axe Sect had the surname Luo.

Apparently, this fierce looking cultivator was part of the sect master’s lineage.

“Four million Top-grade Spirit Stones!” Lin Feng said.

“Pay up,” Luo Hong waved his hand.

Immediately, a cultivator from the Divine Axe Sect stepped forward and tossed a storage ring to Lin Feng.

Lin Feng used his Divine Sense to check, and his expression suddenly darkened, “There are only four hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones in this storage ring. What do you mean by this?”

“I think this Three-colored Divine Stone is worth at most four hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones. Do you have any objections?” Luo Hong said nonchalantly, in a tone that brooked no argument.

“Isn’t Luo Hong trying to force a sale?”

“That young cultivator is really unlucky to encounter a Demon Lord of Mayhem like Luo Hong. I heard that Luo Hong, relying on his status as the sect master’s nephew, even dares to seize treasures from Divine Axe Sect disciples, let alone from cultivators of other forces. That young cultivator, being only in the Yin Yang Realm, must suffer in silence because Luo Hong sees his low cultivation and has become greedy,” some cultivators speculated, looking at Lin Feng with sympathy.

Finally getting hold of such a piece of the Three-colored Divine Stone, it probably hadn’t even warmed up before it was about to be snatched away.

This sort of thing happening to anyone would be extraordinarily frustrating.

“Get lost…”

Faced with Luo Hong’s questioning, Lin Feng responded with just one word, domineering and assertive.

Everyone around was dumbfounded. A cultivator in the Yin Yang Realm dared to tell Luo Hong to get lost?

Many thought they must have misheard.

“You dare tell Laozi to get lost? Have a death wish?”

Luo Hong’s face immediately turned sinister. In a world where the strong prey on the weak, a ruthless character like Luo Hong acted without scruples, especially against a young cultivator like Lin Feng, whom Luo Hong regarded with only contempt and disdain.

Suddenly, Luo Hong noticed Lingyu beside Lin Feng, his eyes lit up, and he said, “That little chick beside you is not bad. Laozi likes her.”

Lingyu’s pretty face turned pale instantly, her body began to shake slightly. Naturally, she heard the surrounding murmurs and learned of Luo Hong’s identity. In her view, someone like him was out of her and Lin Feng’s league to offend. Now, Luo Hong intended to target both her and Lin Feng.

How could they possibly resist?

“Luo Hong is really scum. Such a beautiful lady is going to be ruined,” many people lamented.

In the eyes of these onlooking cultivators, since Luo Hong took a liking to Lingyu,

Lingyu was inevitably doomed.

“What are you standing around for? Quickly capture that kid and that pretty chick,” Luo Hong laughed heartily.

“Whoosh whoosh…” Following Luo Hong’s command, two cultivators immediately sprang into action.

Both were of the Creation Realm, one in the Second Layer Heaven, and the other in the First Layer Heaven.

The Creation Realm’s Second Layer Heaven cultivator launched a palm strike, suppressing Lingyu.

The Creation Realm’s First Layer Heaven cultivator, on the other hand, aimed a palm strike at Lin Feng, intending to cripple him with a single blow.

In the face of the Creation Realm’s Second Layer Heaven cultivator’s attack, Lingyu, having just broken through to the Creation Realm, immediately felt an overwhelming pressure. Her face turned pale, and her heart filled with despair.
