82: Chapter 82 You have top-grade spirit stones?

"Sorry, I refuse."

The Youth in Armor looked regretfully at Luo Yunkai, painfully refusing the Spirit Stones offered to him.

Luo Yunkai frowned, "I can offer more Spirit Stones..."

The Youth in Armor waved his hand, "Stop, stop, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist agreeing."

"But I really cannot agree to this!"

"If things go wrong, I might lose my life."

Luo Yunkai's pupils contracted sharply, "How can that be? My father-in-law's combat strength is still not superior to yours, and although he was injured several times entering and exiting, his life was never in danger."

The Youth in Armor nodded, "That's not strange. The power of the Thunder Domain in Wind Valley is determined based on the cultivation level of the intruder."

"My cultivation is at Nascent Soul Peak. If I enter Wind Valley, the power of the Heavenly Thunder will be equivalent to the Soul Transformation Thunder Tribulation. Moreover, I am already on the verge of a Breakthrough. Under the Heavenly Thunder, I won't be able to suppress my cultivation from breaking through, meaning I would have to face two layers of Soul Transformation Thunder Tribulation simultaneously."

"I cannot withstand that," he stated very frankly.

Luo Yunkai frowned, "Then, Senior, do you mean I should hire a Market Guard with a lower cultivation level?"

The Youth in Armor waved his hand, "No, no, no. Lower cultivation means higher safety, but it will be difficult to obtain what you desire."

Luo Yunkai's brow twitched.

Difficult?

This person seemed to imply there was an easier method.

"Senior, I am willing to offer a sum of Spirit Stones to ask for your advice on how to seize the wood life flame in Wind Valley. Is that possible?"

The Youth in Armor smiled; this one was savvy!

He held up a single finger.

Luo Yunkai: "One million?"

The Youth in Armor shook his head, "No, ten thousand."

Luo Yunkai's brow jumped, "Ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones?"

The Youth in Armor smiled meaningfully, "Ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones."

Ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones equals one million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which equals one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

Damn it!

This was clearly aimed at taking away all the System rewards Ye Fan used to cultivate his Spiritual Root!

The Youth in Armor seemed oblivious to Luo Yunkai's shock, "Ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. If it were Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, I would require 1.5 million. As for Low-Grade Spirit Stones, there's no need to discuss it; at my level of cultivation, Low-Grade Spirit Stones have little use for me."

Luo Yunkai's mind stirred, "What about Top-Grade Spirit Stones?"

The Youth in Armor's playful smile vanished, and he looked steadily at Luo Yunkai, "You have Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Luo Yunkai's heart skipped a beat; he was careless.

The Youth in Armor chuckled, "No need to worry. We Market Guards abide by the rules, and we must abide by them."

"If it's Top-Grade Spirit Stones, I only require ninety of them!"

"Furthermore, consider Di Yuling indebted to you for a favor!"

"Di Yuling?" Luo Yunkai's mind moved, "May I ask about the Di Yuzong?"

Di Yuling stated frankly, "We are from the Di family."

After a moment of thought, he added, "My Di family is considered a considerable force among the Market Guards in the Southern Wasteland."

"And I need Top-Grade Spirit Stones because I wish to achieve Soul Transformation. If I succeed, I can be transferred out of the Southern Wasteland. This is our Di family's opportunity to move beyond the Southern Wasteland."

"Therefore, the favor I owe is not just mine alone, but that of everyone in my Di family!"

Luo Yunkai didn't care about the supposed favor owed by everyone in the Di family.

What he valued more was that Di Yuling could transfer out of the Southern Wasteland.

What did that imply?

It meant that the Market Guards were not just a force in the Southern Wasteland.

They were a powerful force spread throughout the entire Cultivation World!

Just knowing the existence of the Market Guard force outside was enough to make Luo Yunkai feel completely secure!

After all, he and his children could not stop in the Southern Wasteland; they were certainly going to venture out.

Before that, he would test whether the rules of the Market Guards were truly ironclad within a controllable scope!

"I have Top-Grade Spirit Stones!"

Di Yuling's eyes suddenly lit up, staring intently at Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai felt a bit panicked being stared at so intensely by a Nascent Soul Peak expert.

Fortunately, his father-in-law was present, and beside his father-in-law was Ancestor Hefeng; surely they could block Di Yuling, right?

Without changing his expression, he circulated his Cultivation Technique, ready at any moment to unleash the movement technique 'Five Spirit Movement' from the Five Spirits Immortal Scripture.

"I will pay the Top-Grade Spirit Stones as reward after obtaining the wood life flame. These five Top-Grade Spirit Stones will serve as a deposit."

Luo Yunkai flipped his hand, and five Spirit Stones, shining like stars, appeared in his palm.

The vast and pure Spiritual Qi caused Di Yuling to move instantly, appearing in front of Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai's body tensed.

Di Yuling painfully pulled his gaze away from the Top-Grade Spirit Stones in Luo Yunkai's hand and looked steadily at Luo Yunkai.

"You are truly bold, and also very confident!"

Confident that he could escape from his grasp.

Luo Yunkai inwardly relaxed.

He smiled, "I have confidence in the rules of the Market Guards."

Di Yuling shook his head, "No, you don't have confidence in the rules; you have confidence in yourself. Although I don't know where your confidence comes from, how can you be so certain that if I break the rules, you can escape from me, a Nascent Soul Peak expert?"

Luo Yunkai smiled, "Who knows? Perhaps your feeling is wrong. Maybe I really do have confidence only in the rules of the Market Guards."

Di Yuling gave him a deep look, "Let's assume that's the case!"

He reached out and took the five Top-Grade Spirit Stones, "I accept the deposit."

He didn't say anything about the consequences if the remaining payment wasn't made later. He believed that if Luo Yunkai could produce five stones, he could produce ninety Top-Grade Spirit Stones.

"Actually, the best candidate to go to Wind Valley to seize the wood life flame is right beside you, Fellow Daoist Luo."

Luo Yunkai stroked his beard, "Senior, are you referring to my son, Xiao Tian?"

Di Yuling confirmed, "Not just him, but also Su Xin and Ye Fan."

Luo Yunkai frowned, but didn't immediately refuse, wanting to hear what Di Yuling had to say.

"Xiao Tian's Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root gives him a natural attraction to Heavenly Thunder. When he enters the Thunder Domain, as long as the cultivation level doesn't surpass his, the Heavenly Thunder will only maintain the intensity of a Foundation Establishment Lightning Tribulation and focus on him."

Luo Yunkai was startled.

People from these major powers had indeed guessed Xiao Tian's situation.

But... they didn't know! His son didn't have a Heavenly Thunder Spirit Root; he had the even superior Tribulation Thunder Spirit Root!

"Then..."

"Su Xin, if I haven't guessed wrong, must have subdued the spirit devouring seed. That spirit devouring vine is quite extraordinary."

Luo Yunkai smiled without speaking.

Di Yuling smiled faintly, "The wood life flame spreads throughout Wind Valley by borrowing the power of the wind spirit grass. It must be dealt with by using the spirit devouring seed to devour the spirit of the wind spirit grass, thus severing the Foundation of the wood life flame and forcing it to retract its spiritual fire."

"Finally, use the Spirit of the Wood Spirit as a lure to trick the wood life flame into walking into the trap."

"What do you think, Fellow Daoist Luo?"

Luo Yunkai's eyes flickered.

"Wind Valley has not only the Thunder Domain and spiritual fire, but also hurricanes."

Di Yuling smiled, "Fellow Daoist Luo, take a look."

Luo Yunkai looked over and saw a cyan bead in Di Yuling's hand.

"This is a Level Four Wind Calming Bead."

Luo Yunkai narrowed his eyes, "I want ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones for that."

Di Yuling, who was about to say he would give it away, suddenly choked on his words.

This...

"Deal!" Di Yuling agreed without hesitation.

Hesitating for even one second would be disrespecting Top-Grade Spirit Stones!

Luo Yunkai smiled.

Did he think one Wind Calming Bead was enough to repay a favor?

What a joke!

Did he think he was out of Spirit Stones!

Luo Yunkai painfully exchanged another ten Top-Grade Spirit Stones with the System. After delivering the Spirit Stones, he immediately stood up, "Senior Di, this Junior takes his leave!"

Di Yuling didn't even look at him; all his attention was focused on the Top-Grade Spirit Stones. "Walk slowly, I won't see you out."

Luo Yunkai hadn't stepped out the door when a silver-armored figure descended from the sky.

Seeing Luo Yunkai, this person's eyes immediately lit up, "Fellow Daoist Luo, Manager Linglong of Duobao Tower is looking for you outside the camp."

Luo Yunkai immediately narrowed his eyes.

He hadn't gone to bother her, and now she was restless?

Outside the guard camp, Linglong stood with an anxious expression, constantly peering into the camp.

"Why hasn't he come out yet?"
