Chapter 563 - Golden Spirit Fruit

Jian Xing'er quickly picked up the dagger and gently cut at the remaining egg yolk upon receiving Liu Wuxie's instruction.

Everyone held their breaths because they wanted to know what was hidden inside it.

"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.

"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.
