Chapter 335: Magnificent Counterattack



It was understandable that the old men lost their composure. Even Heaven Ascension, Cyclic Derivation, and other top cultivators of the world would be envious after seeing such a treasure.

Lin Xun didn’t mock the old men. But through their reaction, he realized that the value of the treasures he acquired from the ancient ruins in the Spirit Burial Sea was unimaginably astonishing!

For example, a single Nine Twisted Heart Iron could make the great treasure appraisers at Stone Cauldron Alms headquarters gape over it like country bumpkins. Lin Xun had never expected that.

In Lin Xun’s view, the Nine Twisted Heart Iron was the most ordinary among the treasures he had obtained.

Of course, this was only when compared to the others.

After a moment, one of the old men exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and said with blazing eyes, “Unquestionably and undoubtedly, it is a Nine Twisted Heart Iron!”

The other treasure appraisers nodded enthusiastically like they had been snapped awake from a dream.

Shi Yu smiled, excitement swirling in his heart.

On the other hand, Elder Qiu’s expression turned complicated. If that kid had taken out that item earlier, how could all of this have happened earlier?

“Little friend, are…are you sure you want to offer this treasure for sale?” someone asked, making everyone look towards Lin Xun. Their attitude had completely changed from before and they became filled with respect and curiosity.

Nine Twisted Heart Iron!

That piece of treasure alone was enough to make them have a whole new level of respect for Lin Xun. They were, however, very curious as to where a kid like Lin Xun got his hands on such a legendary treasure. It was too unbelievable.

“That’s correct, but can I ask Elders to stay calm for a moment. The Nine Twisted Heart Iron is just one of the treasures I’m offering for sale.”

With a flip of his hand, Lin Xun put it away and brought out a spirit flower with a plump, lush green stem and thirty-six leaves.

The leaves, thick and jade-green, were covered with veins as obscure as secret patterns. Each one glowed like azure clouds as they hung on the stem.

The spirit flower was the color of the pure sky and the petals seemed illusory as it sprayed out a fine mist that filled the air with an intense and cold fragrance.

Everyone seemed to fall into a trance-like state. They felt relaxed and elated like they had drunken from an immortal spring. It was an indescribably wonderful feeling as it felt like they were fluttering in the wind.

“What a miraculous spiritual nature! This is—?”

“It has thirty-six leaves, the veins are like secret patterns, and it is extremely pure! Could it be the legendary divine…”

“Pure Void Spirit Flower!”

”That’s definitely the Pure Void Spirit Flower that has long been extinct in the empire and is known as the King of Medicine Plants!” The old men’s voices trembled.

Their eyes widened with disbelief and excitement as they stared at the mysterious medicinal plant in Lin Xun’s hand.

They had never seen such a flower in their lives and had long thought it was extinct from the world. Who would have thought that it would be suddenly presented before them?

They felt like they were dreaming!

“Pure Void Spirit Flower…” Shi Yu inhaled sharply.

It’s an unimaginably rare treasure that would make even Cyclic Derivation cultivators in the world go crazy! In terms of value, it is in no way inferior to the Nine Twisted Heart Iron!

“That…”

Elder Qiu, who was fighting the strong urge in his heart, felt a bolt of lightning had struck him when he saw the Pure Void Spirit Flower. He couldn’t stop himself from moving closer to take a better look.

His eyes blazed fanatically as he muttered, “Unbelievable, unbelievable. This Pure Void Spirit Flower is at least thousands of years old. Its appearance is almost perfect. It’s a masterpiece of heaven…”

Lin Xun hadn’t said much and just brought out two rare treasures, making the situation change dramatically. The scene was very interesting.

The great treasure appraisers had curbed their arrogance and prejudice. Under the charm of the treasures, they had become obsessed, excited, and astonished.

Shi Yu stared dumbfounded at the drastic change and couldn’t help but marvel. Ever since he met Lin Xun in Blood Kill Camp, he had never seen anything that troubled Lin Xun.

Including now!

It took someone special to make the experienced treasure appraisers of Stone Cauldron Alms lose their composure!

Some people would say it was due to the two exquisite treasures, but those treasures had come from Lin Xun’s hands!

Unconvinced?

Ask other cultivators to try to find two similar treasures!

“Elders, are you done observing?” Lin Xun finally spoke after a long period of silence and put away the Pure Void Spirit Flower.

Suddenly, the old men snapped awake from their trance-like state, all donning different expressions.

Elder Qiu cleared his throat with a cough and suddenly said, “I can confirm it is indeed a Pure Void Spirit Flower.”

The other elders exchanged glances with one another. They felt a little uncomfortable when they faced Lin Xun again now that they had come to their senses.

Previously, they believed that Lin Xun was a youngster who came to Stone Cauldron Alms to take advantage of Shi Yu, so their attitudes towards him were rude and disrespectful.

However, after seeing the two treasures that Lin Xun took out, they realized that they were wrong!

Unfortunately, they couldn’t bring themselves to apologize to a junior. The atmosphere in the hall suddenly turned still and silent.

This was exactly the result that Lin Xun wanted. He smiled slightly and said, “Elders, now that you have verified the items, why don’t you set a price. A price based on the market price is fine.”

The elders’ faces twitched imperceptibly upon hearing the words ‘market price.’ They felt like they had been slapped in the face and their faces were throbbing with burning pain.

Elder Qiu drew a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his discontent and asked, “Are…are you certain that you want to offer those two items for sale?”

“I’m certain,” stated Lin Xun casually. “I can go to other businesses if Stone Cauldron Alms doesn’t want to accept them.”

One of the old men panicked, “Little friend, please don’t misunderstand. It’s just that those treasures are too precious and rare. We’re just not sure whether you want to sell them.”

“Yes.” The others nodded frantically.

The two treasures would bring unimaginable benefits to Stone Cauldron Alms and also to them!

Who in their right mind would watch such legendary treasures slip away before their eyes?

“Third Young Master, what do you think?” Elder Qiu looked at Shi Yu, his voice gentle and friendly.

It was evident that he wanted Shi Yu to help persuade Lin Xun.

Shi Yu almost burst out laughing. He shook his head. “No way. He wouldn’t even take my friend price just now. As a friend, how can I persuade him?”

The old men looked awkward again when they heard ‘friend price.’

They were experienced and intelligent, so how could they not tell that Shi Yu and Lin Xun were retaliating?

However, they had no choice but to suffer patiently and tolerate them to keep those two treasures.

“How about this? Elders, please give me a price and if I feel it’s a good price, I will immediately sell the two pieces of treasure. If not…” said Lin Xun.

“Then Elders, please don’t make things difficult for me out of respect for Shi Yu.”

The old men somehow felt that every word from Lin Xun was ridiculing and mocking them. They couldn’t help but regret offending the youngster and turning their situation into this awkward atmosphere.

It was karma.

Furthermore, they were most frustrated by the fact that it wasn’t easy to offer a price because the two treasures were too rare and precious.

To put it simply, if the outside world found that Stone Cauldron Alms had two legendary treasures for sale, countless cultivators would scramble and fight over each other to purchase them regardless of how high the price was!

“About that...Little friend, can we discuss it first?” Elder Qiu hesitated.

The others nodded. If their offer was too low, Lin Xun wouldn’t be happy and Stone Cauldron Alms would lose out on two legendary treasures.

But if their offer was too high, it would affect the profits.

Therefore, they had to come up with a way to not only satisfy Lin Xun but also benefit Stone Cauldron Alms.

“Elders, please go ahead.” Lin Xun nodded in agreement.

The group of elders left in a hurry and found a quiet room to discuss their plans.

“That was so satisfying!” Shi Yu burst out laughing. He was in high spirits and felt his displeasure had been completely vented.

“That’s just a little trick to make them curb their arrogance and change their attitude,” said Lin Xun indifferently.

”Haha, that’s already enough.” Shi Yu suddenly remembered something and reminded Lin Xun, “Don’t make things too difficult for them later on.”

Lin Xun smiled. “Of course.”

He then whispered to Shi Yu, “I might as well tell you that I won’t agree to whatever price they offer.”

Shi Yu was puzzled at first and then he nodded thoughtfully. “You’re right. Who would want to sell such treasures for money?”

Lin Xun shook his head. “You misunderstood, it’s not about that, but I have already decided to sell them through an auction.”

A flash of realization came to Shi Yu’s face. “It’s a good idea, but our Stone Cauldron Alms will suffer a lot from that.”

“Are you sure Stone Cauldron Alms belongs to you? This plan will kill two birds with one stone. It will not only help me but also give you a chance to prove yourself!”

Shi Yu was very intelligent so he understood right away. He exclaimed in surprise, “You want me to come forward and help you handle this matter?”

Lin Xun nodded. “Correct, whether or not the price is high from the auction, at least it’s all your credit.”

Shi Yu pondered for a while, gazing at Lin Xun with a complicated expression. “You’re too shrewd!”

Lin Xun rolled his eyes. “Stop talking nonsense, do you agree or not?”

Shi Yu unwaveringly agreed, “Of course! Are you kidding? Only an idiot would refuse such an opportunity.”

Lin Xun nodded. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Nine Twisted Heart Iron and Pure Void Spirit Flower and handed them to Shi Yu.

After a thought, he selected several more precious rune materials that he didn’t need and tossed them to Shi Yu. “This is a rare opportunity. Put these all up for auction.”

Shi Yu was utterly dumbfounded. He stared at Lin Xun in stunned silence. He couldn’t believe Lin Xun could casually bring out several more treasures that were not inferior to the previous two in any respect!

That’s…too crazy!
