Li Jiayin leads Xu Wendong to a bustling market in Wu Family City, hoping to find treasures. She spots a peculiar sculpture emanating mysterious energy and Soul Power. The stall owner claims it's a rare treasure from an old tomb, originally priced at a million Nether Crystals. Xu Wendong, suspicious, finds nothing special about the sculpture and calls out the owner's exorbitant price. Li Jiayin, however, seems taken by the item and attempts to negotiate the price.

Even the vendor was stunned by Li Jiayin’s words.

For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond.

"Big catch! Big catch on the hook!" The vendor was overjoyed, his heart pounding.

But he forcibly suppressed his inner excitement, trying to keep his expression calm, and said without changing his face, "Ninety thousand is too little, just a fixed price of one million."

"If the young lady sincerely wants it, I’ll take a little loss, how about ninety-five thousand Nether Crystals?" As he spoke, he secretly observed Li Jiayin’s expression, his eyes glistening with greed.

Hearing this, Li Jiayin was already impatiently reaching into her Storage Bag.

Her eyes were filled with anticipation, as if she could already see herself pocketing this sculpture.

As the daughter of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nether Sect, Li Jiayin was naturally wealthy and well-off.

But her current behavior left Xu Wendong at a loss for words.

"Senior sister, for this thing, give me ninety-five Nether Crystals, and I’ll make one for you." Xu Wendong was worried and hurriedly stopped Li Jiayin, preventing her from spending money.

His hand tightly gripped Li Jiayin’s arm, his eyes filled with anxiety and helplessness, trying to wake Li Jiayin from her daze.

The vendor saw this and immediately became red-faced with anger, eyes wide open as if they were about to shoot fire.

Having encountered such a "fat sheep," only for Xu Wendong to ruin it, how could he not be furious?

"Kid, if you’re not buying, don’t make trouble, get lost!" he said viciously, his voice full of threat.

Unintentionally, he suddenly released a trace of Soul Power, which hovered in the air like a black poisonous snake.

This Soul Power carried a strong oppressive feeling, sending chills down one’s spine.

Everyone then realized that this person was actually a Fourth Level of the Tongyou Realm expert.

With such strength, if it were someone else, they might have tactfully left already.

But Xu Wendong remained fearless, his eyes shining with determination.

"Forgery, this thing is clearly just an ordinary sculpture, with Soul Power you injected yourself, and you’re selling it for a million Nether Crystals?"

"I think even a hundred Nether Crystals is overestimating it!" Xu Wendong said coldly, his voice crisp and loud, echoing among the crowd.

Suddenly, a burst of laughter erupted from all around, like waves crashing one after another.

"Old Shen, you spend all day playing with birds, who would’ve thought you’d be pecked blind by an eagle one day?"

"Hahaha, the price you’re asking is outrageous, a million Nether Crystals, how is that fair?"

"Indeed, if you asked for less, maybe you could’ve made the deal."

The vendors around naturally knew Old Shen and started mocking him one after another.

Their faces were filled with gloating smiles, and their eyes sparkled with teasing glances.

On this bustling trading street, this scene seemed like an amusing skit, drawing the attention of many.

Old Shen’s face was filled with anger, trembling with fury, and he glared at Xu Wendong with displeasure.

"Kid, you talk nonsense at my booth, do you know the consequences?"

His eyes were filled with killing intent, as if he wanted to tear Xu Wendong apart.

His body leaned slightly forward, ready to make a move at any moment.

However, Li Jiayin quickly stepped forward and smoothed things over.

She looked at Xu Wendong with a mysterious and confident gaze, and said, "Junior brother, don’t worry, I won’t lose out."

After she finished speaking, she unhesitatingly took out ninety-five thousand Nether Crystals.

The pile of Nether Crystals was placed on the stall, shimmering with a dark blue light, like a mysterious starry sky.

These Nether Crystals emitted a unique aura, causing the surrounding air to ripple slightly.

With this transaction completed, the remaining vendors were momentarily stunned.

Their eyes widened, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg, faces full of surprise and disbelief.

"Damn, this is possible?"

"A fake thing goes for ninety-five thousand Nether Crystals?"

"That girl is such a sucker!"

Seeing this, the many vendors clamored loudly, their voices lively and boisterous.

Their eyes were filled with envy and jealousy, wishing they could also meet such a sucker, and they wouldn’t have to set up stalls all year round.

Xu Wendong sighed, his face full of bitterness.

At this moment, he experienced what it meant to be willfully extravagant, and Li Jiayin was the perfect example!

It broadened his horizons!

"Hahaha, this young lady has good taste! Congratulations on buying this sculpture with ninety-five thousand Nether Crystals; may it bring you great fortune!" Old Shen laughed heartily, his face filled with joy.

Such a lucky encounter with a sucker isn’t something one can find every day.

"I’ve already secured the fortune; I should thank you." Li Jiayin smiled faintly.

Her gaze was calm and deep, like an unfathomable lake.

Once she had the item, she suddenly unleashed a burst of Soul Power.

The Soul Power surged like a tide, instantly enveloping the sculpture.

Under the impact of this immense Soul Power, the Soul Power originally surrounding the sculpture was instantly dispersed completely.

"Hahaha, it’s just an ordinary sculpture with Soul Power infused later, girl, you’ve been tricked!" someone immediately mocked, their laughter filled with schadenfreude.

Old Shen couldn’t help but chuckle as he said, "Miss, no returns after a sale, don’t come looking for me."

"Why would I look for you?" Li Jiayin asked, puzzled, her gaze carrying a hint of confusion.

Her expression was innocent, difficult to fathom.

"This is Ten Thousand Years Agarwood, even a speck of powder is worth tens of thousands of Nether Crystals. It’s a special material for Artifact Refining."

"Such a big piece could probably sell for millions of Nether Crystals." Li Jiayin smiled, confidence beaming from her face.

She casually tossed the sculpture to Xu Wendong.

At this moment.

Xu Wendong was completely stunned.

His eyes were wide open, staring at the sculpture in his hands as if looking at an incredibly precious treasure.

"Senior sister, is this Ten Thousand Years Agarwood? Did you really score?" Xu Wendong was taken aback, his voice full of shock.

Though he used the Nine Netherworlds Manual, he couldn’t sense it, but Li Jiayin could identify this treasure at a glance.

This single transaction could profit millions of Nether Crystals; how could he not be shocked?

"Of course, let’s head to the Netherworld Pavilion right now to sell it directly," Li Jiayin’s smile was like a flower blooming on a spring day, bright and radiant.

All the vendors present were dumbfounded, every one of them in utter disbelief.

Without exception.

Everyone wore a look of shock.

Everyone had thought Li Jiayin was a sucker, deceived by the vendor.

But who could have imagined she had already seen through the sculpture’s true value?

Ten Thousand Years Agarwood, this is a top-grade treasure.

Rare in the world, worth a fortune!
