Chapter Seventy-Three: Taming the Beauty

  The worst small vendors in the world are concentrated here, renting a low-grade spiritual stone for one day at a cost of one block. The cheapest peripheral stall is occupied by a man in black clothes... with a masked face! It's a rare spherical mask - super funny~ But his stall isn't funny at all!

  In front of him, on a small stall less than one square meter in size, there were three items: a mid-grade Thunder Sword - 280 low-grade spirit stones, a bundle of mid-grade spirit talismans - 350 low-grade spirit stones, and Nine Heavens Severing Ointment - 500 million top-grade spirit stones!

  Five hundred million! It's still the top-grade spirit stone, and since that young Taoist priest screamed, a thick layer of people has been pressing in from all around!

  "Ah~ Oh my~ Jiutian Duanxu Gao! It can regenerate tendons and bones, regrow severed limbs, revive the dead, and cure all external injuries under heaven! What a great thing, priceless treasure... but, even if it's priceless, you don't have to sell it for 500 million top-grade spirit stones, who can afford that? Even if you add up all the spirit stones in the world, it's unlikely to be worth 500 million top-grade spirit stones!"

  "But... even if you save up for tens of thousands of years, it's still not enough! Who has that kind of longevity anyway? You're just a turtle! Huh? He's also selling a broken sword and a stack of worthless talismans? This is... this is simply outrageous! How can priceless treasures be placed alongside trash? It's too much! We need to teach you a lesson, kid..."

  Facing the shocking and thunderous protests of the crowd, the masked man still sat on the wooden railing with an exceptionally calm demeanor, tilting his small neck, with a fearless and arrogant attitude, saying "You can shout again, what can you do to me, you stinky virtues!"

  No wonder others are not afraid, in the heavenly way, even the great repairers of the heavenly human period do not dare to take action here. A group of small villains who want to take advantage of the fire can only move their mouths and not their hands? A ridiculous scene! Let them scold, glare, shout, scream, threaten... The masked man doesn't care about anything!

  "Ah~" Suddenly! A despairing cry rang out, Bai Xiaofei's sealed memories surged like a tidal wave, one after another, crashing against his melting frozen heart. His most beloved, most caring Wu Shijie, who had been with him for a hundred years, in the face of Gui Zong's hidden and mysterious ghostly soul's shocking blow, selflessly threw herself to block the fatal attack that was meant for him!

  Blood tears reappear, Wu Shijie's broken body falls in front of her eyes. Bai Xiaofei can no longer control her thoughts, and she rushes over without caring about her beautiful image, bursting through the thick crowd, staring with big beautiful eyes, excitedly and tearfully crying out:

  "Nine Heavens Severing Paste! I've got it, is... is this real?! Five... five hundred million! Five hundred million top-grade... five hundred million top-grade spirit stones! You..."

  "Ah, beautiful fairy, you're really clever. This thing must be fake. I mean, how could the real Nine Heavens Discontinuous Ointment appear in this small town? It should only appear at the Heavenly Auction House or one of those top 50 shops. Hmm... he must be a scammer selling fake medicine, despicable! This masked villain actually scammed you, beautiful fairy. We're going to take him down..."

  Hmph! Those who stir up people's emotions and egg them on are numerous, but those who take action - zero!

  The masked villain shook his spherical big head, slowly picked up a palm-sized jade box, opened the small lid, and suddenly a fragrance of medicine wafted out. The broken grass and wildflowers on the ground that had been trampled by people instantly regrew in an instant!

  "Ah~ah~ah~" When people saw the dark, shiny and thick Nine Heavens Discontinuous Ointment, they collectively collapsed, baring their teeth, screaming desperately, and rushing forward, their eyes blazing with desire to get their hands on the precious treasure in front of them!

  The little white Xiaofei in front said with a sad and nervous face:

  "Hey, mister, please don't sell it so expensive, I really want to buy it. What do you want in exchange? I have a lot of treasures, including spiritual ones, let's make an exchange."

  "No way, this can't be...!" The crowd suddenly erupted in a huge commotion, today's scene was truly beyond reason, it was simply unacceptable to them. These people were now extremely envious of this kid who had managed to gather all the medicinal paste for nothing and now could even exchange it for a spiritual treasure! What a huge profit, they were really making a killing!

  To everyone's surprise, the masked villain shook his round head silently, pointed to the small sign below - No bargaining!

  "My god! Are you crazy? You wouldn't even trade for the legendary sacred treasure, are you sick? Idiot, has your brain been kicked sideways? Moron, you're so stupid, you're like a ball... You deserve to be beaten up! Everyone was indignantly shouting and cursing at him, with an expression that said 'Can't you hurry up and trade with the beautiful fairy already?!'"

  But what's frustrating is that this big villain won't make a sound, it's really going to drive people crazy, sigh~ If he sells this thing for 1 million or 2 million spirit stones today, maybe there's a chance to encounter a wealthy master who can buy it for Bai Xiaofei, the pitiful and world's number one beauty. But 500 million - top-grade spirit stones, makes people completely surrender!

  Bai Xiaofei immediately knelt down, her eyes fixed on him as she cried out loudly:

  "This big brother, as long as you give it to me, for a thousand years and ten thousand years, Xiaofei will follow you without complaint or regret, forever unchanged!"

  The masked villain was startled, and since Bai Xiaofei pitifully knelt in front of him, after saying this sentence, his white and delicate hand unconsciously formed a cat's claw, scratching towards the position of his rapidly beating heart. Until under everyone's crazy shouting, he stepped forward, stretched out his hand and helped her up, opening his rough throat to let out a loud snore.

  "You're not good-looking either, what do I want you for?"

  "Ah~ah~ah~I'll get you first, you blind fool~you're such an idiot~I'm gonna kill you~I'll take you down, you little brat......" Everyone was already fed up with him and wanted to take him out, if not for the cold, menacing guards surrounding them, this masked villain would probably have been done for by now!

  Bai Xiaofei stood there with a stupid expression for half a day, muttering to herself: "I... I'm not pretty? You... okay, you tell me how you can give it to me, anyway I must get it!"

  "Hahahaha......" The masked villain tilted his head back, his voice sneering with a sinister laugh: "You're such a loser, who negotiates like this? This will make you lose out big time! Hmm... even if I were to take you in as my subordinate, it would still be a loss for me. No way..."

  The masked villain's words were indeed correct, as all the cultivators present had hundreds of years of moral integrity and were extremely intelligent. However, none of them dared to say such a thing to Bai Xiaofei. At this moment, everyone was thinking the same thought - they wanted to possess Bai Xiaofei entirely for themselves. Human selfishness is indeed easy to guess. But surprisingly, the masked villain did not act according to their thoughts and instead kindly reminded her. For a while, no one could say anything else.

  Bai Xiaofei alone occupied his small stall, with red and swollen eyes, he hastily said:

  "Big brother, please, Xiaofei really never asks for anything, today I'm asking you, please give this to me, my master's sister has been bedridden for nearly a hundred years, please..."

  Looking for someone? Fainted, in the immortal world, let alone a disabled person, even if 18,000 people died, others wouldn't bat an eye. What makes you think they'll help you, and why would they give you such precious treasures? What a joke! Without this, how can they advance their cultivation? What if they die? When facing death themselves, what's the point of being the number one beauty in the world? One's own life is the most important thing!

  "Girl, say something practical for once!" The crowd couldn't help but loudly advise: "If you ask someone, they can give it to you, that's the logic! Besides, use your Heaven's Eye to take a look, this masked big bad guy is a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator, and he still has thirty or forty years of lifespan left. It's not easy for him either! Yeah, approach it from this angle, help him out, and exchange for some Nine Heavens Discontinued Ointment..."

  Bai Xiaofei's face lit up with joy as he exclaimed, "Isn't it just the Dan medicine for breaking through to the Congenital Realm? I have some, and Jade Dan too! If you want it, I still have twelve pills left!"

  The masked villain casually took out a small bottle from the spatial treasure and opened the lid, saying at random:

  "Baihui Dan, one pill is worth more than 56 Yuandan pills. Girl, don't make a fuss, just leave quickly."

  "Never..." Bai Xiaofei cried uncontrollably, "I won't leave, I'd rather die today than leave. I must get this Nine Heavens Discontinuous Ointment. Sir, if you give it to me, from now on, in life and death, I, Bai Xiaofei, will be yours."

  "Wah~ hahaha......" Suddenly! The masked big bad guy pinched his waist, tilted his spherical head, and let out a "ga ga ~" evil laugh. It wasn't until everyone looked at him with suspicious eyes, wondering if he was a negotiation expert, that the big bad guy realized something was off. He barely regained his composure, cleared his throat loudly, and asked:

  "Cough, cough... Since you're so determined, I'll give you a chance. What do you have to offer that's worth 500 million top-grade spirit stones? Speak up! If you can say something worth 500 million top-grade spirit stones, then this Nine Heavens Severing Balm is yours!"

  This topic is interesting, the audience is very interested, especially male audiences. A peerless beauty, how can she package herself to be worth 500 million top-grade spirit stones? In the end... Hehe ~ this masked big bad guy is really too evil ~

  And Bai Xiaofei this little fool, with a silly and lovely face, thought for half a day! Finally seeing everyone urging her, she hastily wiped the fragrant sweat from her pretty face and said:

  "I'm strong, I can fight fiercely, really, I can protect you forever!"

  "Pfft~ Little beauty fights? I'm going~ This can be done! It shouldn't be like this, you should describe it like that, being seductive and flirtatious, enticing him, hugging him, kissing him, doing that thing for him, making his whole body go soft, his soul flying away......" The male cultivators' eyebrows jumped up in unison, their faces filled with lustful and depraved smiles as they teased Bai Xiaofei, this "poor little white sheep".

  Bai Xiaofei was a young unmarried girl, how could she say such things? Her face turned bright red, and she couldn't lose her temper, it was infuriating. But as soon as she thought of Wu Shijie, she wasn't afraid to die, seducing men? Alas, Xiao Tian knew he would be furious, never mind, for the sake of Wu Shijie, she couldn't care about that much!

  Bai Xiaofei suddenly lifted her head, with a red face and open small hands, she was about to go forward and hug the masked big bad guy!

  At this time, the masked villain not only dodged her but also helped her out of trouble. He pretended to think for a moment and said:

  "A mid-term cultivator of the Condensing Dan stage, a girl who is even lower than me at the first layer, can say such big words, but... what makes you think I should believe you?"

  Bai Xiaofei's beautiful big eyes stared at the small jade box and urged: "I always keep my promises, just agree with me, no matter what danger we encounter, I will protect you with my life!"

  "Hahaha..." Suddenly, the masked villain burst into a loud, melodious laughter with a magnetic voice: "The world is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable! Many years ago, I also said such words to a girl, didn't expect...".
