Chapter 13551 I want to hire a guardian

What three thousand low-grade spirit crystals can buy may not be within the reach of even thirty million high-grade spirit stones, because in certain high-end transactions and special occasions in the martial arts world, spirit crystals often play a more critical role.

The trading medium for many rare magic weapons, secret techniques and even natural treasures is none other than spirit crystals. Those arrogant sellers often only recognize spirit crystals and disdain spirit stones.

Ling Xiao knew this very well. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, as if he was measuring the value of every bit of spiritual power. He spoke slowly, with a hint of unquestionable determination in his voice: "After all, in this world where strength is respected, spiritual crystals are hard currency."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger lightly, and a storage ring with intricate runes carved on it and emitting a faint aura fell steadily on the table in front of the beautiful woman, like a stream of light. This storage ring was not only Ling Xiao's personal treasure house in the martial arts world, but also a testimony to his countless battles and adventures.

Inside the storage ring were all the wealth and spoils he had accumulated along the way, through all the hardships and difficulties. The personal belongings, magic weapons, and even treasures of those Bao Yuan Realm masters he defeated were all stored in this ring.

These items are piled up like mountains and are of various types, ranging from ordinary cultivation resources to precious magic weapon fragments.

However, Ling Xiao did not regard all of these spoils as wealth. He carefully selected and sold most of the items that were not of much help to his current cultivation, leaving only those treasures that were truly useful to him or could save his life at a critical moment.

Each of these things that he carefully selected and kept contained extraordinary power and was a solid backing for his future spiritual practice.

The beautiful woman glanced lightly at the storage ring handed to her by Ling Xiao. Her autumn-water-like eyes shrank slightly involuntarily when she saw the dazzling array of treasures in the ring, and her expression became complicated in an instant.

Inside the ring, various magic weapons, materials, and pills were piled up like mountains, each of which exuded extraordinary spiritual energy. The number and variety of them far exceeded her expectations.

She raised her head and looked at Ling Xiao with an almost scrutinizing gaze, with both surprise and curiosity in her eyes. After a moment, she spoke very seriously, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice: "Dear guest, please wait a moment. I need someone to carefully estimate the value of these items."

As she spoke, she stood up gracefully and gently handed the ring to an old man not far behind her. The old man was thin, with a simple face, but his eyes were unusually bright. He was obviously an expert in appraising treasures.

He took the ring, took a quick look at it, then turned and left in a hurry, apparently to ask a more professional appraiser to assess the value of these treasures.

The beautiful woman sat back down opposite Ling Xiao, with a gentle smile on her face, as if the surprise just now had never existed. "Dear guest, while you are waiting, do you have any other needs? Whether it is magic weapons, elixirs or cultivation resources, our Star Picking Chamber of Commerce will do its best to meet your requirements."

Ling Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this, and then fell into deep thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke, with a hint of imperceptible urgency in his voice: "Do you have any Heavenly Demon Pills for sale?"

When the beautiful woman heard this, her expression changed slightly, and then she smiled bitterly.

She shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "This Heavenly Demon Pill is a specialty of the Demon Tower. It is so precious that even within the Demon Tower, only the thirteen top demon elders are lucky enough to get one every year. Although our Star Picking Chamber of Commerce is powerful, it is difficult to easily obtain a pill of this level."

Having said this, she paused, as if weighing something, and after a moment, she continued:
"However, if the honorable guest really needs the Heavenly Demon Pill, we can try to contact the Demon Tower to see if we can get some through special channels. However, the price will probably be quite high. After all, the rarity of the Heavenly Demon Pill cannot be easily measured by spirit stones or spirit crystals."

"How high?" Ling Xiao's voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and curiosity, his eyes fixed on the beautiful woman's face, as if expecting a crucial answer.

The beautiful woman gave a bitter smile, which was filled with helplessness and guilt: "One Heavenly Demon Pill costs at least one thousand Spirit Crystals... And this is just the starting price. Whether we can actually get it is still unknown."

Her tone revealed a hint of emotion about the rarity of the Heavenly Demon Pill and her attention to Ling Xiao's needs.

Hearing this, Ling Xiao raised a playful smile, his eyes flashing with determination and courage: "One thousand spirit crystals, that's 10 million high-grade spirit stones, tsk tsk, it's really a steal. But..."

He changed the subject, his tone revealing an unquestionable firmness, "As long as you can get it, I will buy it, and the more the better. I, Ling Xiao, don't have anything else, but a lot of spirit stones and spirit crystals!"

When the beautiful woman heard this, a trace of surprise and admiration flashed in her eyes. Although she didn't know Ling Xiao, she knew that someone who could come up with so many good things could not be an ordinary person.

No matter if it was robbed or stolen, anyone who has this ability is definitely not an ordinary person. She thought to herself that they naturally hope to make friends with such a strong person. After all, in this world where the strong are respected, one more powerful friend means one more guarantee.

So, she smiled and nodded, with a bit of sincerity and expectation in her tone:
"That's fine. We will contact the Demon Tower as soon as possible to see if we can get some Heavenly Demon Pills for you. As for other needs, please feel free to ask. Whether it's magic weapons, pills, or cultivation resources, as long as we have them in the Star Picking Chamber of Commerce, we will do our best to meet your requirements."

As she spoke, she clapped her hands gently, signaling the service staff around her to bring tea and snacks to Ling Xiao, while also silently expressing her respect and hospitality for Ling Xiao, the distinguished guest.

The atmosphere in the entire box became warm and harmonious, as if at this moment, all interests and calculations were temporarily put aside, leaving only sincerity and respect between people.

"Can you contact the Money Gang? I want to hire a protector!" Ling Xiao's voice was steady and powerful, and every word revealed an unquestionable determination. His eyes flashed with a firm light, as if he was looking for a guarantee that could ensure his safety.

The beautiful woman was slightly stunned when she heard this, and then looked at Ling Xiao with a slightly curious look.

She opened her red lips slightly, with a hint of confusion in her voice: "The aura of the honored guest is so strong, there are really not many people who can be your protector. Moreover, you want to buy the Heavenly Demon Pill, so it must be related to the Demon Tower, right? In this Zhaixing Tower, who dares to easily attack the people of the Demon Tower?"
