307: The Temptation of the Divine Stone

Chen Yi didn't have much of a reaction to this; after all, he had only seen Low-Grade Spirit Stones before.

Top-Grade Spirit Stones and Divine Stones were like legendary rare items to him, something he had never witnessed firsthand.

Now, dozens of pounds of Divine Stones lay before his eyes, shimmering with an enchanting and mysterious light, as if they were treasures from another world.

"Oh my goodness, this guy is really rich! How did you manage to capture him?" The Fifth Princess's expression at this moment was like that of a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, her eyes filled with shock and envy.

"This bastard tried to steal my things, so he locked me up," Zhou Cheng grumbled from the side, his tone full of resentment.

Dozens of pounds of Divine Stones! In the current Destiny Star, their value was simply immeasurable.

If one were to exchange Divine Stones for Top-Grade Spirit Stones, exchanging one pound for twenty thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones would definitely be an easy feat.

Especially for those Divine Throne Realm powerhouses, Divine Stones were indispensable and precious items for their cultivation, and their value would surely be significantly inflated on top of that.

Calculated this way, the dozens of pounds of Divine Stones in Qin Tian's hands were simply priceless; the wealth they contained was even richer than the treasuries of some small nations.

Qin Tian casually put away the Divine Stones, then took out about a hundred Top-Grade Spirit Stones from his storage space and handed them to the Fifth Princess, saying, "Go redeem your sword.

Oh, and you can keep that thumb-sized Divine Stone from earlier for yourself."

In Qin Tian's eyes, a spirit sword was not a precious item at all; after all, it was originally the Fifth Princess's.

As for that small amount of Divine Stones, to Qin Tian, who possessed a large quantity of Divine Stones, it was merely a drop in the ocean, insignificant.

At this moment, in the Fifth Princess's eyes, Qin Tian had already become an out-and-out super-rich tycoon.

The Fifth Princess held the Spirit Stones blankly, but she didn't act immediately.

Her gaze was completely drawn to the Divine Stones she had seen earlier, her thoughts seemingly firmly locked by that brilliant light.

Qin Tian looked at the dazed Fifth Princess and couldn't help but smile, asking, "What, do you want more Divine Stones?"

"Yes," the Fifth Princess nodded honestly, her eyes full of desire.

The high value of Divine Stones on the current Destiny Star was enough to make anyone go crazy for them.

"Help me do something; if you can do it well, I'll give you more Divine Stones," Qin Tian said slowly upon seeing her reaction.

"What is it?" the Fifth Princess asked impatiently.

In her heart, as long as she could obtain Divine Stones, she was willing to try anything.

"Help me find someone," Qin Tian had always been thinking about the Little Bookworm Kong Qiu, remembering that he had arrived at Destiny Star before him.

However, Destiny Star was vast and boundless, and finding someone in this immense sea of people was easier said than done.

Moreover, the people on this planet harbored deep malice towards those from the starry sky; once caught, they were often used for refining.

Qin Tian knew that his own actions were inconvenient, making it difficult for him to search personally.

"Who?" The Fifth Princess didn't hesitate at all; finding someone seemed to be no difficult task for her.

Upon hearing this, Qin Tian immediately took out paper and pen and, relying on his memory, carefully drew a portrait of Kong Qiu.

The Kong Qiu in the painting was lifelike, as if he could walk out of the painting at any second.

"It's this person.

As long as you can help me find him, all those Divine Stones you saw just now will be yours."

Qin Tian's words were like a magical spell, deeply attracting the Fifth Princess.

That was dozens of pounds of Divine Stones! She roughly estimated that there were at least fifty pounds or more.

Such a huge amount of wealth was enough to change her destiny.

"Okay, this princess will help you find him, but you won't go back on your word, will you?" The Fifth Princess looked at Qin Tian warily, her heart full of worry.

After all, this guy had already broken his promise once before; he said he'd let her go, but she was still indirectly restricted in her freedom.

"Don't worry, these Divine Stones are nothing to me," Qin Tian said confidently.

In fact, Qin Tian had tens of thousands of pounds of Divine Stones in his possession, so a mere few dozen pounds were indeed like a drop in the bucket to him.

"Alright, this princess will trust you this once and help you find him."

After pondering for a moment, the Fifth Princess felt that for these dozens of pounds of Divine Stones, even if there might be some risks involved, it was worth a try.

"This princess needs to go out now."

The Fifth Princess had no intention of leaving Qin Tian now; she knew that Qin Tian was like an inexhaustible treasure trove.

As long as she could obtain more Divine Stones from Qin Tian, her future would be limitless.

Qin Tian nodded, not stopping her.

He had his own plans and had already secretly placed runes on the Fifth Princess.

As long as the Fifth Princess made any move, he would know immediately.

Qin Tian was not some naive "little white lotus" without any precautions; he deeply understood the principle that wealth moves hearts, especially for peerless treasures like Divine Stones, which were even more likely to incite greed.

Qin Tian then took out a basic Cultivation Technique from his collection and also took out dozens of Top-Grade Spirit Stones, handing them to Chen Yi and saying, "You take these first and go back to rest well."

"Brother Qin, this is too valuable."

Although Chen Yi had never truly seen Top-Grade Spirit Stones, he had heard of their precious value.

Qin Tian's generosity, giving out dozens of them at once, was enough to buy his life ten times over.

"Take them.

Your current strength is too weak; you still need to cultivate diligently, otherwise how can you always stay by my side?" Qin Tian said earnestly.

Chen Yi was deeply moved upon hearing this and carefully put away the Cultivation Technique and Spirit Stones, saying resolutely, "Brother Qin, I will definitely cultivate diligently."

Afterward, Chen Yi, filled with gratitude and determination, left the room and returned to his own residence.

As soon as he returned, he eagerly began his cultivation, single-mindedly wanting to improve his strength and not let down Qin Tian's expectations.

Time flew by like a white steed; seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

However, the Fifth Princess had not returned even once.

According to the information relayed by the runes Qin Tian had set up, the Fifth Princess first went to an organization specializing in collecting various information, presumably to inquire about Kong Qiu's whereabouts there.

Afterward, she went to visit her friends and chat.

Fortunately, she did not reveal Qin Tian's whereabouts to anyone.
