20: Chapter 20 Sun God Stone

Lin Bei looked left and right, then up and down, but he simply could not figure out what was so good about his location.

"What are you looking at? Get lost, hurry up!"

The youth in the floral robe shouted impatiently.

Lin Bei ignored him and continued to look around.

Suddenly, his gaze froze.

Opposite the restaurant was a manor. From his angle, he could see a woman in a pavilion inside the manor, currently applying makeup in front of a mirror.

The youth in the floral robe noticed his gaze and was furious.

"Damn it! Is Young Miss Zhao someone you can just look at? Come here! Gouge this brat's eyes out!"

Immediately, two burly men who looked like guards rushed out, both at the Peak Foundation Establishment stage.

They didn't take Lin Bei, who was at the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment, seriously at all. One of them hooked his fingers and lunged straight for Lin Bei's eyes.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound of breaking bones rang out, followed by a shrill scream.

Lin Bei shook his head.

What kind of guard is this? He's screaming so loudly over just two fingers; what would happen if I took two more?

Thinking this, he directly snapped two more of the remaining three fingers in front of him.

"Ugh... Ah!"

The burly man rolled his eyes and fainted.

Lin Bei threw the four bloody fingers in front of the youth in the floral robe, then pointed to his own eyes, "How about you try gouging them out?"

The youth in the floral robe couldn't help but take two steps back.

He wasn't stupid; he could see that Lin Bei's strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface. Unfortunately, the highest cultivation level of the people he brought today was only Peak Foundation Establishment.

"You... if you have guts, don't run! Wait for me for half an hour!"

Leaving behind a harsh threat, the youth in the floral robe hurriedly left with his men.

I'd have to be sick to wait here for half an hour for you!

Lin Bei complained inwardly.

From the window, he saw the youth in the floral robe rushing down the street, knocking over many stalls along the way.

Empty Hand Skill!

In an instant, several million Spirit Stones were added to his Portable Space.

The clothes of the youth in the floral robe also turned to dust in that instant.

"Holy... Wu Xiaokun is streaking!"

On the street, shouts rose one after another!

"It's so small! As expected of Kunkun!"

"Hahaha... two centimeters at most!"

"I don't think so, it should be two and a half centimeters..."

"Damn, that's simply eye-searing!"

...

Wu Xiaokun was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly tried to take new clothes from his Storage Pouch.

Unfortunately, under the Empty Hand Skill, Lin Bei had only left him a few hairs; where would there still be a Storage Pouch?

For a moment, Wu Xiaokun was so anxious he was about to cry, his hands not knowing whether to cover his Kunkun or his Kunkun.

The butler and servants behind him only then reacted, hurriedly taking out a cloak to cover Wu Xiaokun.

"Go! Back to the manor!"

A group of people crowded around Wu Xiaokun and left in a hurry.

Lin Bei withdrew his gaze. By now, there were very few people left in the restaurant; the vast majority had gone downstairs to watch Kunkun up close.

Just as he stood up, his gaze swept towards the pavilion where the Young Miss Zhao he had seen earlier was located.

Damn! Why are you taking off your clothes in broad daylight?

Lin Bei sat back down with a thud.

"If I leave now, wouldn't it look like I'm afraid? Half an hour? I'll wait for you all afternoon!"

With this excuse, Lin Bei spent the whole afternoon sitting by the window, drinking wine with peace of mind, watching the mountains and rivers, the gorges and valleys.

As evening approached, Wu Xiaokun did not appear, presumably because he didn't have the face to see anyone for a short while.

Taking one last look at that pavilion, Lin Bei smacked his lips, still feeling unsatisfied, and couldn't help but exclaim, "People in the city sure know how to play!"

Over the next few days, Lin Bei was not idle, appearing in various trading venues in Shi City, with the goal naturally being to search for the sun god stone.

Although he didn't plan to upgrade his Physical Body immediately, collecting the items first was naturally better to be prepared.

However, this thing seemed to be a truly scarce item.

He had visited more than half of Shi City; let alone buying it, many shopkeepers had never even heard of such a thing.

Five days later, Lin Bei, holding a glimmer of hope, walked into the largest chamber of commerce in Shi City.

Shi Family Chamber of Commerce.

There was no fancy name, clearly telling everyone who this chamber of commerce belonged to.

As soon as Lin Bei walked into the lobby, a young and beautiful female Cultivator came up to meet him with a professional smile.

"Hello, customer. What do you need? I can take you directly to the area where the item is located to save you time."

Lin Bei secretly clicked his tongue, "As expected of an Ancient Family, even a random shopping guide has a higher cultivation level than me..."

Since the other party was so polite, he didn't want to play games and said directly, "I would like to purchase a type of Materials called sun god stone. I wonder if you have it here?"

"sun god stone?" The woman frowned.

She had worked in this chamber of commerce for many years and considered herself knowledgeable, but she had truly never heard of such Materials.

"I'm sorry, we indeed do not have this type of Materials here..."

"You are looking for the sun god stone?" The woman's voice was interrupted as a middle-aged man walked down from upstairs.

"Greetings, Manager Shi!" The woman hurriedly bowed.

"Mm," the middle-aged man nodded slightly, acknowledging her.

He looked at Lin Bei, "Young man, I don't know where you heard the name sun god stone. It's not that I want to discourage you, but let alone here, even in the entire Eastern Wasteland, you might not be able to find a single piece of sun god stone."

"Furthermore! Even if there were, could a mere Foundation Establishment Cultivator like you afford it?"

"Hiss..." Hearing this, Lin Bei immediately felt a toothache.

"Senior, is this sun god stone that scarce and precious?"

It was rare to run into someone who knew about the sun god stone, so he naturally seized the opportunity to humbly ask for advice.

"You don't even know how precious the sun god stone is? I highly suspect you're here to mess with our chamber of commerce..." Manager Shi glanced at Lin Bei.

"Senior, you jest. This Junior just happened to obtain an ancient recipe that stated it required a type of Materials called sun god stone, which led to today's action."

The middle-aged man didn't dwell on the truth of what Lin Bei said and spoke slowly.

"The sun god stone is not exactly a peerless rarity. If you were in the Southern Ridge, it might be easier to obtain. In the Eastern Wasteland, it is difficult!"

"Southern Ridge?" Lin Bei's eyes lit up, "Senior, do you mean the sun god stone comes from a certain Yao Race in the Southern Ridge?"

A hint of appreciation appeared on Manager Shi's face, "Correct, the sun god stone comes precisely from the Sun Bird among the Yao Race, which is the Golden Crow Clan!"

"The sun god stone can only be refined by a Saint-Grade Golden Crow. I don't know if there are any Saint-Grade Golden Crows in the Golden Crow Clan today, but regardless of whether there are or not, they certainly have stock..."

Lin Bei gave a bitter smile, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. With my cultivation level, I'm afraid I wouldn't even make it to the Southern Ridge before losing my life halfway there!"

Manager Shi's smile grew wider, "Not bad. In cultivation, one must know when to advance and when to retreat. As the saying goes, 'The old man lost his horse'—you cannot tell whether something is a blessing or a curse until the very end."

"The ancient recipe you obtained may seem like an opportunity, but it could also very well be your death warrant!"

Lin Bei felt strange inside; he could sense that the person in front of him was sincere toward him and had no ill intent.

"This Junior will definitely keep Senior's words in mind. In that case, this Junior will take his leave!"

Lin Bei bowed and turned to leave.

"Wait!"
