Xu Wendong's chosen Treasure Ore yields a valuable Sixth-grade Spiritual Medicine, the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence. The Ying Family offers to buy it, but Huang Baishan intervenes, mocking Xu Wendong's supposed poverty. This leads to a bet where Huang Baishan attempts to buy the medicine, but Xu Wendong declares his offer insufficient.

"Not enough?" Huang Baishan was stunned.

The market price for Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence was around ten million Nether Crystals, so the amount he offered should be quite fitting.

"Kid, are you planning to ask for an astronomical price?" Huang Baishan said coldly, eyes filled with intense anger.

At this moment, however, Xu Wendong smiled and shook his head, saying, "How can you say it’s an astronomical price?"

"Moments ago, Miss Ying Youwei was going to offer eleven million."

"Young Master Huang, you’re so capable, surely you can come up with another million, right?"

Xu Wendong’s playful tone made Huang Baishan’s mind heat up again, and Ying Youlu, standing nearby, quickly chimed in.

"Young Master Huang, surely your Huang Family can produce an extra million Nether Crystals, right?"

"If your capabilities are that poor, then that’s truly a pity."

Ying Youlu displayed a resigned expression and once again linked her arm with Xu Wendong’s.

This made Huang Baishan completely lose his cool.

He immediately produced another one million Nether Crystals and said directly to Xu Wendong, "Give me the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence, here are eleven million Nether Crystals."

Seeing this situation, Xu Wendong shook his head once more.

"Still not enough?"

Huang Baishan was furious; Xu Wendong actually dared to raise the price right there!

The surrounding crowd all wore amused expressions; it was obvious that Xu Wendong was toying with Huang Baishan. Could Young Master Huang not see this simple fact?

"Of course, it’s not enough. This Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence is for you to give to Ying Youlu."

"Being part of the Ying Family and the ruling family of the Netherworld Pavilion, Miss Ying must have seen all kinds of treasures."

Xu Wendong began to explain. Unless he squeezed some more money out of Huang Baishan today, he wouldn’t easily let him go.

"Don’t even mention sixth-grade spiritual medicine; even seventh-grade spiritual medicine wouldn’t make a difference."

"Miss Ying is well-traveled and has lost interest in these things long ago. If you want to give a gift to win her favor, it should be something unique."

"Although the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence is sixth-grade spiritual medicine, if you purchase it at a high price, it would show your deep affection for Miss Ying, wouldn’t it?"

After saying this, Xu Wendong himself felt nauseated.

Now that Huang Baishan was already heated up, he could only fool around with this foolish boy.

Ying Youlu, on the other hand, was very cooperative.

She looked pitifully with large, watery eyes.

This scene deeply agitated Huang Baishan.

He gritted his teeth and produced a storage bag, "I’ll add three million more, fourteen million for your Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence. Is that sufficient now?"

"Not enough."

"Then I’ll add more! Fifteen million, is it enough now?"

"Not enough."

"Sixteen million Nether Crystals!"

Today, Huang Baishan had to earn Ying Youlu’s favor. He saw the encouraging gaze from Ying Youwei, which made him increasingly heated; he couldn’t suppress his impulses. This was the closest he had ever been to the goddess.

Xu Wendong continued to shake his head.

He stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty million Nether Crystals, non-negotiable."

After he finished speaking, the surrounding crowd gasped in astonishment, eyes widening at him. The Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence, although a sixth-grade spiritual medicine, was quite precious; typically, it could be acquired with just eleven or twelve million Nether Crystals, yet Xu Wendong was asking for twenty million?

It was outright robbery!

"You... why don’t you just rob it?" Huang Baishan was shocked; Xu Wendong was indeed asking for an astronomical price.

He absolutely wouldn’t buy such an expensive Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence.

Seeing this situation, Xu Wendong sighed, saying, "It seems your affection for Miss Ying isn’t that deep after all."

"Oh... Young Master Huang, then let it be. Let’s avoid meeting again in the future." Ying Youlu also sighed. Her act with Xu Wendong was flawless; though her face showed regret, her heart was secretly elated.

"I’ll buy it!"

Huang Baishan said abruptly, deciding to go all out for Ying Youlu’s favor.

Four bags were thrown out, each containing five million Nether Crystals.

Even Xu Wendong was a bit surprised; are the young masters of Black Tiger City this wealthy?

Casually carrying twenty million Nether Crystals, it seemed he had underestimated them.

Actually, twenty million Nether Crystals was Huang Baishan’s limit. Over the years, he accumulated benefits from his family, totaling eighteen or nineteen million, with the remaining hundred thousand or so Nether Crystals coming from family funds.

At this moment, Xu Wendong squinted his eyes and accepted those twenty million Nether Crystals.

Then he directly tossed the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence to Huang Baishan.

Right now, Huang Baishan looked thoroughly thrilled; he approached Ying Youlu excitedly.

"Youlu, look, I’ve bought the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence for you. Do you like it?"

Huang Baishan, like a love-struck fool, showered her with compliments.

"I like it," Ying Youlu said with a smile, then handed the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence over to Xu Wendong.

Her expression seemed as if she was seeking praise.

"Brother Xu, look, the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence is back; I’ll give it back to you."

Ying Youlu finished speaking, and the crowd could no longer hold back; they burst into laughter.

The whole transaction returned the essence to Xu Wendong, earning him twenty million Nether Crystals.

"Thanks," Xu Wendong said with a smile, then gave the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence to Ying Youwei. She was quite refined, giving Xu Wendong another eleven million Nether Crystals.

Through this back and forth, Xu Wendong earned thirty-one million Nether Crystals with just one Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence.

Such an obscene profit!

"You... you all..." Huang Baishan realized it suddenly, eyes blazing in anger. Now he understood Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu had teamed up with Xu Wendong to fool him.

"What about us?" Ying Youlu said disdainfully.

"It was you who wanted to buy Brother Xu’s Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence and willingly paid twenty million Nether Crystals. Everyone present can testify; it was your choice."

"Then you gave the Nine Revolutions Profound Celestial Essence to me, so now it’s mine. Is there an issue?"

After Ying Youlu’s words, the laughter grew even louder around them.

This blatant mockery left Huang Baishan dumbfounded, unable to withstand the blow; his anger soared like conflagration. He took a deep breath, eyes filled with murderous intent:

"Return my Nether Crystals and apologize. Otherwise, kid, you’re dead meat!"

This was practically shouted.

The crowd began to retreat, knowing Huang Baishan was about to lose it.

"Hey, what are you doing? Causing trouble on Ying Family’s turf?" Ying Youwei’s eyes turned cold as she directly questioned him.

"You set me up; so what if I’m causing trouble on your turf?" Huang Baishan roared, ready to make his move.
