Chapter 563 - Golden Spirit Fruit

"That\'s not a stone; it\'s a wax pill!" exclaimed an elder in the Nascent Transformation Realm, gazing at the stone in Jian Xing\'er\'s hands.

"A wax pill!" The elder\'s words caused an uproar in the surroundings, and everyone wondered if it could be an ancient pill inside. If that were the case, Liu Wuxie would instantly become rich.

The value of an ancient divine pill was priceless—far beyond the value of ordinary spiritual essence. Spiritual essence could only strengthen a cultivator\'s spirituality, not the cultivation.

"It can\'t be a wax pill!" Li Hongda immediately objected. If it was a wax pill, it would\'ve shattered by now and couldn\'t be so sturdy.

Everyone shared a different opinion, but no one knew what it was exactly. This piqued everyone\'s curiosity, and they began to urge Jian Xing\'er to hurry up.

"Hurry up and cut it already!" There were many Sky Rift Valley and Demonic Heart Palace disciples present. In addition to rogue cultivators from Serene Sea City, the surroundings were tightly packed with spectators.

A blinding golden light burst when the dagger breached the wax pill\'s outer layer, slowly slicing apart the yellow surface.

The dazzling brilliance surprised everyone, and they shut their eyes, not knowing what was inside the yellow wax pill.

Jian Xing\'er was also stunned, but she soon came to her senses and covered the crack with her hand to contain the blinding brilliance.

"What\'s going on? What\'s inside?" The crowd exploded into an uproar; they were like hungry wolves wanting to seize the treasure from Jian Xing\'er.

Everyone squeezed forward, urging Jian Xing\'er to hurry up and open it so they could see what was inside.

Overwhelmed with excitement, Jian Xing\'er stood up. She finally understood why Liu Wuxie would get her to pick the three cheapest stones.

Chen Ruoyan had cut open a spiritual essence, but she couldn\'t find anything in her stone, leaving her feeling somewhat upset. This was why Liu Wuxie asked her to pick and cut the stones for him, ensuring they could both uncover a treasure.

She hurried over to Liu Wuxie and handed the stone over. She didn\'t know what to do and looked at him with uncertainty.

"Could it be a spiritual core?" An elder stroked his beard, guessing that it was a spiritual core inside.

The jade scepter that Liu Wuxie had won from Yin Jingwu on the boat contained a spiritual core whose value surpassed even the supreme-grade spiritual essence.

Teng Yue was shaken hearing the words\' spiritual core,\' looking on the verge of collapse. He knew he had to pay with his life if he lost.

"I don\'t think it\'s a spiritual core. I suspect it might be a Golden Spirit Fruit," said Elder Wei Qisheng of Sky Rift Valley. His voice was calm, but it reached everyone\'s ears.

Others refuted that idea, saying, "That\'s impossible! It has been five centuries since Serene Sea City uncovered a Golden Spirit Fruit. "

The Golden Spirit Fruit was too rare. It was the seed of an ancient plant that had fallen into the ground. Once a layer of stone enveloped it, the seed could no longer spout, but the spirituality within would remain intact. However, it would sprout when it came in contact with the soil, nurturing a priceless Golden Spirit Fruit.

They speculated for a long time and couldn\'t reach a conclusion. Thus, their only option was to wait for Liu Wuxie to open the yolk and uncover the truth.

"Young lad, please open it and let us see what\'s inside," the other elder of the Sky Rift Valley said with his curiosity piqued. After all, this stone was picked from the Sky Rift Valley area.

If it were the fabled Golden Spirit Fruit, they would have to investigate immediately where this stone came from. This way, they could trace it back to where it was found on the next trip to the barren land to see if they could find more.

As Liu Wuxie slowly closed his palm, the golden radiance began to dim, fading into a soft glow. With careful precision, he pried open the stone, revealing a tiny seed nestled in his hand, no larger than a bean.

"It really is the Golden Spirit Fruit!" gasped Li Hongda, staggering in disbelief.

Teng Yue\'s face turned ashen as though he had fallen from heaven to the depths of despair. He felt that victory was within grasp when he cut open two spiritual essences, but who could have imagined that Liu Wuxie could cut open a Golden Spirit Fruit?

Strictly speaking, this was the seed of the Golden Spirit Fruit. The Azure Crimson Gate suddenly became quiet, and everyone was shocked. They couldn\'t determine why the Goddess of Luck always favored Liu Wuxie.

"That\'s impossible!" Teng Yue went insane and clawed at his hair, unable to believe his loss.

The three elders of the Ling Clan behind him were equally astonished. They had examined many parts of the area, including the area belonging to the Sky Rift Valley.

How could they fail to detect the stone? Was it because it lacked spirituality, and their clan\'s appraisal method was useless?

"Liu Wuxie, I\'m willing to offer fifteen million spirit stones for that Golden Spirit Fruit," Qiu Dingtian said as he stepped out from the crowd. This was an astronomical sum.

"Not for sale!" Liu Wuxie replied coldly, his words sharp and concise. The Golden Spirit Fruit might be of little help to him, but he could plant it in the desolate world, wait for it to bloom, and bear the genuine Golden Spirit Fruit to boost his cultivation.

Qiu Dingtian\'s face darkened. He hadn\'t expected Liu Wuxie to refuse him without any hesitation.

"You humiliated my son on the boat. You won\'t be able to leave this place alive if you refuse to sell me the Golden Spirit Fruit today," Qiu Dingtian threatened to kill Liu Wuxie if the deal didn\'t go as he wanted.

"Let\'s see if you can back up your words," Liu Wuxie said, casually toying with the Golden Spirit Fruit in his hand with a cold smirk.

The surrounding atmosphere became tense as the crowd continued to increase. The news of a Golden Spirit Fruit being found spread like wildfire, drawing everyone\'s attention.

Many people rushed over, trying to squeeze their way through to glimpse a priceless treasure like the Golden Spirit Fruit. Everyone looked at Liu Wuxie, envious that such a rare treasure had fallen into the latter\'s hands.

Murong Yi observed from the side with a flicker of intrigue in the depth of her eyes when she looked at Liu Wuxie. She wondered how he knew such an unremarkable stone would contain such a priceless treasure.

This was a mystery, not to mention Liu Wuxie hadn\'t lifted a finger throughout the entire process and stood in place the whole time.

If, during the previous stone-betting event on the street, Liu Wuxie had skillfully chosen the wild stone, then what was happening today was part of a much larger plan. This was Liu Wuxie\'s true strategy—to divert attention away from himself.

Murong Yi\'s words had given him a sharp reminder. Things would turn out very differently if people discovered that he could see through the stones. Even the Sky Rift Valley might try to take advantage of his ability.

This was why Liu Wuxie asked Jian Xing\'er to pick out the stones on his behalf to shift everyone\'s focus away from him.

"I\'m willing to offer thirty million! Sell it to my Ling Clan!" a voice boomed from the crowd as Ling Fengchi arrived with his beloved son. The Ling Clan was the wealthiest in Serene Sea City, and he didn\'t hesitate to flip the offer given by the Qiu Clan.

"As expected of the Ling Clan. They\'re generous," everyone looked at Ling Feichi with envy. The Ling Clan\'s swift development in Serene Sea City was linked to their ability to appraise the stones. Many people had tried to uncover their methods over the years, but no one could find a clue.

"Not for sale," Liu Wuxie replied. Let\'s not mention thirty million; he wouldn\'t even sell if someone offered him three hundred million spirit stones.

"You can make an offer if you find the price too low. As long as it\'s within a reasonable range, I can agree," said Ling Feichi. He assumed that Liu Wuxie refused because the offer wasn\'t high enough, and the Ling Clan had plenty of spirit stones to spare.

"Three trillion. If you can take out this sum, this Golden Spirit Fruit\'s seed is yours," Liu Wuxie said, but his tone dipped with sarcasm.

His words drew a collective gasp from the surroundings.

"Is he insane?" Even if Liu Wuxie didn\'t want to sell it, he didn\'t need to mock the Ling Clan with such a ridiculous number.

"This is absurd. I\'ve never seen anyone making such a high demand," the crowd exclaimed. Even a spiritual vein might not be able to produce one hundred million spirit stones, not to mention three trillion. Even the entire Serene Sea City couldn\'t gather this amount of spirit stones.

"Brat, you dare humiliate the Ling Clan?" Ling Feichi was seething with fury. Liu Wuxie had set an impossible price to insult them.

Liu Wuxie did this on purpose. It wasn\'t that he didn\'t want to sell it to them, but they just couldn\'t afford it. He sneered, "I\'m humiliating you? Who the fuck do you think you are? Do you think a human would be tempted to humiliate a dog?"

He had seen through the method used by the Ling Clan to appraise stones, and his opinion of them had changed drastically.

Although Ling Feichi\'s son had taunted him before, that wasn\'t enough for them to warrant a blood feud.

However, insulting Ling Feichi as a dog was another matter entirely. It was akin to stirring the hornet\'s nest, not to mention they were the wealthiest clan in Serene Sea City.

Madam Li\'s forehead was covered with wrinkles, wanting to march forward and give Liu Wuxie two slaps. His trouble-making ability knew no bounds.

After all, Liu Wuxie had caused many troubles in the past few days and practically offended every influential figure in Serene Sea City. Once this matter was over, the House of Tea Art wouldn\'t have any connections left to remain in the city and could only leave.

"Young lady, should we intervene? The situation is growing increasingly dire for us," Madam Li said, her voice echoing in Murong Yi\'s ears. Offending the Azure Crimson Gate was bad enough, not to mention Liu Wuxie also drew the ire of both the Qiu and Ling Clans.

The House of Tea Art might not fear them, but it was another question of whether it was worth going through so much trouble to help Liu Wuxie.

“No need,” Murong Yi shook her head. There was no reason for them to intervene.

While others didn\'t know the whole story, Murong Yi knew everything that had transpired since the gathering on the boat, and no one could swallow their anger if they were in Liu Wuxie\'s position.

The threats from the Qiu and Ling Clans and the pressure from the Azure Crimson Gate were like Damocles\'s sword suspended over Liu Wuxie\'s head.

Murong Yi was also curious how Liu Wuxie would resolve this crisis. The House of Tea Art would only ensure his safety, and Liu Wuxie had to depend on himself to deal with all the other challenges, such as his life-and-death gamble with Teng Yue.

They didn\'t intervene right from the start, allowing them to finish their gamble. Many others also began noticing this pattern and wanted to use every opportunity to eliminate Liu Wuxie.

As long as everything was within the bounds of the rules, the House of Tea Art wouldn\'t interfere.

"Young lad, you have quite the tone there. Do you think you can disregard everyone just because you cut open the Golden Spirit Fruit\'s seed?" The Ling Clan\'s three elders growled coldly as they stepped forward. Although it appeared to be a duel between Liu Wuxie and Teng Yue, this was also a duel between Liu Wuxie and the Ling Clan.

After all, the Ling Clan\'s three elders had personally picked the three stones.
