Chapter 719: Chapter 685: Spirit Heaven Original Variety

Xu Bai stayed in the shop, and the shop owner did not obstruct him.

After all, with Xu Bai’s exceptional beauty, standing there doing nothing, he could attract the attention of many passing cultivators.

Though many cultivators who could reshape their appearances were not uncommon, Xu Bai, even at first sight, was breath-taking.

Moreover, his aloof and mysterious aura added allure.

Both men and women lingered in the shop. As they covertly observed Xu Bai, they casually bought a Celestial Spirit Flower as a cover.

The business was booming, and the shopkeeper was delighted. In his exuberance, he wished Xu Bai could stay in the shop day and night.

But obviously, that was impossible.

Two days later, the Celestial Spirit Flower chosen by Xu Bai bloomed beautifully.

People initially didn’t pay much attention, their gaze still often lingering on Xu Bai.

However, when Xu Bai held the Celestial Spirit Flower in his palm and people caught a glimpse…

Gasps of surprise echoed everywhere.

“What is this?”

“A faint pink yet barely visible… it could be rated as first-rate Celestial Spirit!”

“Whoa, I heard the first-rate Celestial Spirit Flower sold a short while ago fetched a high price of a hundred thousand contribution points. No matter what, the price for this one won’t be lower than that, right? I heard he bought it with just a thousand contribution points. Hasn’t he made a fortune?”

“Wow, he’s not just extraordinarily handsome, even his luck is so good. I’m really envious.”

…

“So this is the intriguing use of luck. Even without deliberately seeking it, every word and deed direct things towards a direction beneficial to oneself.” Xu Bai, holding the Celestial Spirit Flower, did not speak, but he was contemplating how luck can influence reality.

Sensing a part of his luck had dissipated, Xu Bai immediately drew from the Feather of the Mystic Bird to restore it.

Turing back, he saw that the cultivators, including the shop owner, were all excitedly looking at the Celestial Spirit Flower in his hand. Xu Bai couldn’t help but smile slightly.

“Even the most beautiful face cannot move the heart more than profit.”

And so, in full view of everyone present.

He nonchalantly said, “A so-called first-rate flower, is just rubbish.”

Then, spiritual energy surged in his hand, in an instant, the twelve-petaled first-rate Celestial Spirit Flower turned into flying ashes.

“What are you doing!”

The scene immediately erupted in chaos.

Although Xu Bai was the owner of the Celestial Spirit Flower and how he handled it was entirely his personal business.

But no matter how you described it, a treasure worth over a hundred thousand contribution points was casually destroyed by him, not to mention him repeatedly calling it “garbage”…

That was a bit excessive!

The faces of the cultivators present were starting to show displeasure.

A scholar-like cultivator, holding a Celestial Spirit Flower, approached Xu Bai with a gloomy face, “Dear friend! You may not love it, but please don’t harm it!”

“The life of a Celestial Spirit Flower is extremely fleeting. When it blooms, it should show its splendor to the world…”

He was still righteously proclaiming his statement.

“Excuse me, you’re in my way,” Xu Bai took out a folding fan and brushed him aside.

Without sparing him any attention, he directly strolled away.

“You…” The scholar-like cultivator’s face instantly turned red.

Strictly speaking, this scholar was not bad looking either. But compared to Xu Bai, he lacked a certain charm. He was already slightly annoyed with Xu Bai, and at being slighted, he felt a surge of both jealousy and anger.

“If even a first-rate Celestial Spirit is garbage, what a boastful claim you’ve made! You should know that without the original seeds manifesting, the most beautiful Celestial Spirits in the world are only a few premium ones. Could it be, you’ve seen them?” The scholar shouted at Xu Bai.

“From what I know, those premium Celestial Spirit Flowers were bought as soon as they bloomed, to be given away for the Immortal Alliance’s elites to appreciate. Who are you, and when did you see them?”

The scholar was a bit cautious, afraid of offending someone he shouldn’t. His tone was restrained and probing.

Upon hearing this, Xu Bai turned around.

With a ‘swish’, he opened his folding fan, lightly fanned it and smiled shaking his head, “The so-called premium Celestial Spirits, I’ve never seen one.”

“Then you really are seeking attention and fearlessly ignorant…” The scholar instantly relaxed and angrily rebuked.

“In my view, whatever the premium Celestial Spirit is, it’s merely rubbish.”

Although Xu Bai’s voice was soft, to everyone present, it was like a thunderbolt.

The scholar was especially stunned on the spot.

Then he burst out laughing in his anger, “By your words, I’m afraid the only…”

Xu Bai interrupted him, “Correct! Only the original seed deserves to be called a true Celestial Spirit Flower!”

Saying that, he stretched out his hand.

A piece of paper, crystalline and thin as cicada wings, unfolded in his hand.

A Celestial Spirit Flower, as if it were alive, appeared on the paper, looking incredibly lifelike.

Each of the seventeen petals was incredibly clear.

You could even see the whole flower trembling slightly.

The scene instantly fell dead silent.

All the people present were studying the Celestial Spirit Flower, and the one in Xu Bai’s hands instantly attracted all their attention.

“Original seed?”

After a moment, someone woke up from his reverie, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“What, that’s the original seed!”

“True beauty of the Celestial Spirit, worthy of the name. Compared to the original seed, any premium or first-rate ones, as long as they have a hint of red color, they all seem like rubbish!”

…

Not only was the impudent scholar stupefied, the shout of “Original seed” also attracted the attention of the majority of cultivators in Celestial Spirit City.

More and more cultivators gathered, looking at the original seed Celestial Spirit Flower in Xu Bai’s hand, they were lost in a daze.

“Bang!” The Celestial Spirit Flower in the scholar’s hand fell to the ground, but he himself didn’t care at all.

He simply looked at the original seed in Xu Bai’s hand in a daze, with obsessed eyes, slowly getting closer.

Just as he was about to reach Xu Bai, Xu Bai quickly put it away.

“No…”

As if in an instant he had lost the person he loved most, the scholar’s face showed a trace of ferocity. In a fit of madness, he seemed to pounce at Xu Bai.

Conflict was forbidden in the Immortal Alliance’s Heavenly City.

Before the towering Granite Statue of Heaven’s Respect could hand down a punishment, a sheen flashed on Xu Bai’s clothes.

While Xu Bai remained standing, the scholar screamed and was repelled.

Then a radiance fell from the statue, and the scholar immediately turned pitch black.

After struggling for a moment, he fell to the ground lifeless.

With the Martial Art Battle Hall Cultivators rushing to collect the body and the signs of a cultivator’s death overhead, it finally pacified the crowd.

Xu Bai bowed to the crowd and left.

“It’s over. The Celestial Spirit Flower business is over,” said the shopkeeper, looking at Xu Bai’s departing figure with a face as pale as death, muttering to himself.

Having said that, his gaze swept over the Celestial Spirit Flowers fully displayed in the shop, hastily he wrote a “Ten Percent Off” sign and hung it outside the store.
