Chapter 991, Bountiful Harvest

“Big Fool, Little Fool, could it be you want to renege before so many witnesses?” After waiting half a day, Xuan Mingge’s somewhat impatient voice rang out again.

Hearing these words, Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha nearly coughed up mouthfuls of old blood in fury.

[What do you mean ‘again’? When have we ever reneged?! Also, what’s the meaning of that form of address? The first time being called wrong was one thing, but now a second time. This is clearly deliberate mockery!]

They were helpless against Xuan Mingge. They fundamentally could not defeat him in combat. And now, even their proudly cultivated Dao of Crystal Appraisal had suffered defeat.

Could it be their painstakingly practiced of the Dao of Crystal Appraisal, which had finally achieved some success after so much effort, truly could not be compared to this fellow’s blind guessing?

They had begun doubting their very existence.

[Who am I? Where am I? What was the purpose of cultivating the Dao of Crystal Appraisal…]

Moreover, these ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid represented no small sum for them!

“They’re Divine Appraisers from Majestic Spirit Sacred Land, aren’t they?”

“Indeed, and they are Master Sha Wei’s Successors. How could they not produce even ten thousand drops of Spirit Liquid?”

“Could they be planning to renege? They called us to witness, after all.”

“For such characters to exist, why would Master Sha Wei transmit his skills to them?”

Under Xuan Mingge’s instigation, idle gossip gradually emerged from all directions. Clearly everyone was happy to watch the excitement and didn’t fear escalation.

Under these whispered discussions, the Zhou Brothers’ complexions flushed as red as pig liver.

“We haven’t brought so much Spirit Liquid on us. I’ll dispatch someone to deliver the Spirit Liquid to your Sacred Land’s residence in this city!”

Finally, Zhou Xiaosha gritted his teeth and spoke with extreme reluctance.

For Divine Appraisers, what mattered most was authority and credibility. Their authority had already been trampled into the ground when that Mutated Spirit Seed was revealed. At this moment, if they lost their credibility as well, they’d likely find it difficult to survive in the Sacred Lands hereafter.

Moreover, even their respected Master would suffer damaged reputation because of this.

Seeing these two soften, Qin Yichen also nodded his head with satisfaction.

This Spirit Crystal Area excursion had proven quite fruitful. They had purchased merely one Shooting Star Spirit Crystal and had netted twenty thousand drops of Spirit Liquid. If such fortunate events occurred a few more times, how wonderful that would be.

“In that case, This Qin shall await your Spirit Liquid at my Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s residence. Please don’t make This Qin wait for too long.” Qin Yichen smiled and cupped his hands together, speaking.

Hearing this, Zhou Dasha and his Brother experienced another bout of choking fury. Finally, they could only helplessly watch as Qin Yichen departed leisurely with his beauty in tow.

“Haha, you two fools. Served you right. I’m also waiting for you! Better pay us. Else…” Xuan Mingge also laughed heartily, following behind Qin Yichen without a second thought.

Unconsciously, he had already come to regard Qin Yichen as one of his most intimate friends!

[That dog-excrement-eating little sh.t!] Bei Ling roared angrily in his heart, yet remained helpless.

*Whoosh…* Just as Qin Yichen’s trio departed and everyone was still lamenting Qin Yichen and Xuan Mingge’s Heaven Defying luck, a commotion once again erupted at the Spirit Crystal Area’s entrance.

This commotion’s magnitude far exceeded that caused by Zhou Dasha and his companion’s appearance. Moreover, numerous figures were currently crowding through the Spirit Crystal Area’s entrance.

At the forefront of that crowding mass stood two figures. One was unmistakably Ying Xinghui, while the other figure appeared slightly aged, his back even somewhat hunched.

However, this hunched form emanated an extremely subtle fluctuation. Clearly, the latter’s Spiritual Energy had reached a terrifyingly formidable level!

Moreover, he walked side-by-side with Ying Xinghui, obviously possessing considerable status.

“That’s… Ethereal Spirit Sacred Land’s Master Divine Appraiser, Xu Yuzhu!”

“Heavens, Master Xu has actually come here!”

“Haha, looks like Ancient Jade Pavilion will bleed this time!”

Upon recognizing the hunched figure beside Ying Xinghui, a wave of shocked exclamations immediately resounded throughout the Spirit Crystal Area.

“Master Xu?” Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha, who had been preparing to depart, trembled upon hearing that suddenly announced name. Turning their gazes, reverence immediately surfaced in their eyes.

Xu Yuzhu was a genuine Master Divine Appraiser. His accomplishments in the Dao of Crystal Appraisal far exceeded what these two, who possessed merely modest fame, could compare to.

His reputation would not lose too much even compared to Master Sha Wei, who had once opened a Five-Colored Profound Stone. Moreover, this slight inferiority existed purely due to that Five-Colored Profound Stone.

When Master Sha Wei originally opened that Five-Colored Profound Stone, he had actually relied upon considerable luck. Discussing pure Dao of Crystal Appraisal, both probably stood as equals.

Witnessing Xu Yuzhu’s appearance, several female attendants in the Spirit Crystal Area hastily welcomed him forward. In the shadows, several figures concealed in obscure corners quietly departed, heading toward Ancient Jade Pavilion’s various upper echelons.

A Peak Heaven Grade Divine Appraiser, though insufficient to make Ancient Jade Pavilion forbid entry, could still attract their upper management’s attention.

After all, each time something good was revealed, it was basically those Heaven Grade Divine Appraisers with extremely good fortune who made the reveal.

Upon seeing Ying Xinghui’s arrival, Sacred Master Candidate Bei Ling’s complexion drastically changed.

“Where are they?” Amidst the crowd’s clustering, Ying Xinghui’s gaze swept across the Spirit Crystal Area once, yet failed to discover his target. Subsequently, he walked directly before Sacred Master Candidate Bei Ling, furrowing his brow as he asked.

“Left… they left.” For some reason, facing Ying Xinghui’s inquiry, despite being a fellow Sacred Master Candidate, Bei Ling felt his heart flutter nervously.

“Left?” Ying Xinghui’s brow seemed to furrow even deeper. He glanced at the pile of shattered crystals in the distance that had yet to be cleared away, then observed Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha’s ugly expressions nearby. His heart immediately understood what had happened.

“*Hmph* You were more of a hindrance than of any help!” Ying Xinghui glared at Bei Ling once, coldly snorting.

To thoroughly suppress Qin Yichen’s arrogant momentum, he had specially sent someone to request for Master Xu Yuzhu. Never did he anticipate that by the time they arrived with such imposing presence, that brat had already departed!

Under his cold snort, Bei Ling’s proud head lowered slightly, not even daring to respond.

“Who selected that Mutated Spirit Seed just now?”

At this moment, that slightly hunched figure finally slowly raised his head. He walked before that pile of shattered crystal fragments on the ground, examined them briefly, then opened his mouth to inquire.

“Xuan Mingge selected it.”

Just as Sacred Master Candidate Bei Ling stammered uncertainly about whether he should speak, someone nearby suddenly answered.

“Black Nihility Sacred Land’s Sacred Master Candidate? Xuan Mingge?” Xu Yuzhu’s aged face flashed with a trace of astonishment as he murmured this name, his heart filled with puzzlement.

Because he had even heard rumours of Xuan Mingge’s technique of blind-guessing as Crystal Appraisal. How could such a person possibly have gotten a Mutated Spirit Seed? If relying purely on guessing, what kind of Heaven Defying fortune would that require?

Finally, under Ying Xinghui’s questioning, Sacred Master Candidate Bei Ling recounted everything in complete detail. Zhou Dasha and Zhou Xiaosha’s expressions beside them looked extremely awkward, as if experiencing humiliation once again.

“Interesting. Relying purely on luck to uncover a Mutated Spirit Seed. I’d quite like to see just how Heaven Defying his fortune truly is.” Upon hearing this, interest surfaced in Xu Yuzhu’s eyes.
