Ya Ya felt insulted.

What did he mean by that?

Wasn't he just saying that she was inferior to her father?

Ya Ya rolled her eyes, "Hmph! You're very weak right now too!"

Liu Jiangyi didn't get angry; instead, he smiled and probed, "So what Realm are you in? Grandmaster?"

"Heh heh! Grandmaster? Mere ants!"

Ya Ya lifted her head proudly.

Hiss!

Liu Jiangyi gasped!

Grandmasters are ants?

Good heavens!

It seems this little girl's strength is at least at the Martial Saint-Grade!

Liu Jiangyi knew Ya Ya was formidable, so he stopped pressing her about her strength.

Ya Ya, this little girl, was too naive; in front of Liu Jiangyi, she was like someone without clothes, able to be seen through at any moment.

Uh... of course, not in the sense of x-ray vision.

So no matter what Ya Ya's strength was, she couldn't escape Liu Jiangyi's control.

Nominally, Liu Jiangyi was Ya Ya's pet.

But in reality, Ya Ya was Liu Jiangyi's enforcer, wasn't she?

Thinking of this, Liu Jiangyi felt a pang of reluctance.

Using her deceased father to trick a little girl was a bit too cruel.

But he had no other choice now.

If he told Ya Ya the truth, she would definitely seek revenge, definitely be killed or even enslaved by Chen Yuan.

That would truly harm Ya Ya!

On the other hand, keeping Ya Ya by his side, although there was a suspicion of him tricking her, Liu Jiangyi would never bully Ya Ya and would ensure her safety.

As for how to ensure it?

Liu Jiangyi looked at the ten portable tsar bombas in the System space.

【Portable tsar bomba: Appears the size of a grenade, contains 100% of a tsar bomba's explosive damage. The explosion range can be controlled by the user's will. The smaller the compressed range, the stronger the explosive power!】

Liu Jiangyi's mouth twisted in a smile.

Too ruthless!

A tsar bomba was already terrifying; this portable tsar bomba directly came with compressed, doubled power?

If Liu Jiangyi compressed the tsar bomba's explosion range to ten meters, the explosive power would probably be enough to shatter the Void Realm, right?

Grandmaster?

Martial Saint?

Even a Great Martial Saint probably couldn't withstand that!

This was Liu Jiangyi's confidence!

Absolute confidence!

The value of the phrase 'technology changes life' was still rising.

...

Liu Jiangyi collected his thoughts and looked at the stall again.

This time he looked even more carefully.

He indeed found that seventy percent of the stones had isolation Formations within them.

Liu Jiangyi suddenly understood.

It seemed the vendor wasn't completely foolish; he knew it was inappropriate to fake everything, so he sold a mix of real and fake.

This way, people buying stones were more easily misled.

And if they encountered someone knowledgeable, they could still be fooled.

Liu Jiangyi whispered, "So, among these man-made stones, is there a part or a specific one that has been tainted with the aura of that Magic Treasure?"

"Exactly!" Ya Ya nodded heavily, "But the aura here is too chaotic. I can only confirm that it should be here, but unless I find it, I can't determine which one is tainted."

"Little brother, you've been looking for so long, why not play a few rounds?"

At this moment, the stout, small-eyed boss walked up to Liu Jiangyi and tried to drum up business.

Liu Jiangyi pondered for a moment, then said proudly, "These broken stones, they all look like ordinary goods to me. Playing with them would probably be boring!"

Swish!

As soon as these words came out, the boss's Face immediately changed.

"What do you mean?" the boss asked, displeased.

Liu Jiangyi shrugged, "The literal meaning."

"Presumptuous!" the boss roared, "You two, dressed in shabby animal skins, I asked if you wanted to play, which already showed you enough Face!"

"If you don't have money to play, that's fine, but to slander my goods as not good, what is your intention!?"

As he spoke, the people around also showed expressions of mockery.

"Heh heh, where did these bumpkins come from, so ignorant yet daring to bark?"

"If you can't afford to play, you can't afford to play. To say someone else's stuff isn't good, he probably hasn't seen anything good in his life, has he?"

"Old fellow, stop making a fool of yourself here, hurry back to your savage tribe!"

"Hahahaha..."

"..."

The crowd continuously mocked, and the boss joined in the laughter, completely treating Liu Jiangyi as a joke.

"Can't afford to play?" Liu Jiangyi sneered, waved his hand, and said, "Ya Ya, show him a thing or two!"

"Alright!"

Crack!

Ya Ya waved her small hand, and several thousand bottles of energy liquid appeared before them like a small mountain.

My goodness!

Not only the boss and the people around were stunned, but even Liu Jiangyi was stunned!

This girl was a super-rich woman!

Cling to her!

Must cling to her!

This wasn't showing others a thing or two; it was clearly showing Liu Jiangyi a thing or two, wasn't it?

However, in just a few seconds, Ya Ya collected all the energy liquid back.

The crowd around completely fell silent.

Their expressions towards Liu Jiangyi varied.

Some were shocked, some envious, and some had already shown strange looks, clearly harboring ill intentions.

As the saying goes, 'wealth should not be flaunted'.

For Liu Jiangyi to show off his wealth in front of so many people, it would be strange if he wasn't targeted.

But Liu Jiangyi had no choice.

He had to find a way to take all these stones.

But if he bought them with money, even if Ya Ya really had money, Liu Jiangyi wouldn't be willing to spend it.

The boss's bewildered Face began to break into a strong smile.

Good heavens!

A big boss has arrived!

A fat sheep!

"Eh... hahaha... it was this little brother who spoke out of line just now. You don't think much of this trash, do you? Please wait a moment, I'll bring out the good stuff for you right away!"

"Someone, go bring down the things from the carriage!"

Several assistants immediately ran to the carriage and began to continuously move stones out.

In a short while, the stall was piled high.

It must be said, the stones brought out later indeed looked good.

But only in terms of appearance!

Because all the stones brought out later were actually man-made!

Bastard!

Did he want to rip him off badly?

Then you've miscalculated!

Liu Jiangyi scrutinized them, then said disdainfully, "Still not very satisfied, they're too inferior."

"Still not satisfied?" The boss said with a wry smile, "Distinguished guest, these are already my best stones. Even if you go elsewhere, you probably won't find anything this good to play with."

"Anyway, you're not short on money, so why not pick a few to play with? I'll give you a discount, how about we become friends?"

Seeing that making a big profit was hopeless, the boss was unwilling to let go of a small one.

But Liu Jiangyi still shook his head.

"These stones are too ordinary; playing with them would simply be a waste of my time."

"However, I do have an idea. If the boss is willing to play with me, then I might pick a few."

"I play with you? What do you mean?" The boss was puzzled.

Liu Jiangyi smiled calmly, pointed at the stones, and said, "How about we gamble?"

"Gamble?" The boss said, bewildered, "What do you mean?"

"The meaning is very simple." Liu Jiangyi said proudly, "I'm also an old hand at playing with primordial stones, and I'm confident in my judgment."

"The boss sells primordial stones, so naturally, he also has confidence."

"How about you and I each choose a stone, and whoever's is more valuable wins?"
