#1008 - Chapter 1008: The Shopkeeper Appears

"Shut up!"

After Lin Yaoyao loudly reprimanded Mu Qianqian and Ye Wuxin, she turned to the shop owner and said in a gentle voice.

"Shopkeeper, we were just passing by and came into the store. As my junior sister said, we indeed didn't see anyone in the store, so we looked around on our own. The shopkeeper was indeed mysterious just now, so we had to be cautious." Lin Yaoyao told the shop owner the whole story.

Hearing what they said, the shop owner recalled that he was indeed refining poison in the private room and hadn't noticed the movements in the store until the Phoenix Blood Stone emitted a powerful aura. Only then did the shop owner sense the movements outside.

"It's a misunderstanding. I was cultivating just now and didn't notice the movements in the store," the shop owner said with an awkward laugh.

The people from Xiaoyao Peak looked at each other, but only Xi'er smelled a very unique scent.

"Shopkeeper, what should we call you?" Feng Qingqing asked.

The people of Xiaoyao Peak also clasped their fists and bowed to Zhi Xu.

After greeting everyone, Zhi Xu came to the Phoenix Blood Stone and introduced it to everyone.

"This stone is called the Phoenix Blood Stone. It contains the spiritual essence of the Nine Heavens Phoenix and has the function of autonomously absorbing fire elements. If you can use this to cultivate, you can greatly increase your strength and achieve the supreme realm of cultivation!"

Zhi Xu stated the powerful ability of the Phoenix Blood Stone without exaggeration.

After listening to Zhi Xu's introduction, everyone looked at the inconspicuous stone on the display case with incredulous eyes.

"This stone..."

"Is so powerful!"

Bai Wuchen and Chen Haoran said in unison.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Zhi, may I ask how much this Phoenix Blood Stone is worth?" Ji Changsheng asked Zhi Xu.

Others were also curious and wanted to know how many spirit stones it would take to obtain the Phoenix Blood Stone.

Ji Changsheng's words caused Zhi Xu to chuckle.

"Hahahaha~ Little brother, you're joking. Back then, there were many, many people who offered rare items to exchange for this thing, but no one could take the Phoenix Blood Stone away. Just like that little brother just now, he was blasted away by the powerful pure-blooded spiritual energy of the Phoenix Blood Stone, preventing anyone from getting close."

Zhi Xu did not deceive everyone. Over the past hundred years, countless people have wanted to take away this Phoenix Blood Stone, but all have returned without success, and this Phoenix Blood Stone has remained in this store until now.

"Since Shopkeeper Zhi has said so, then we must try it properly and be sure to take this Phoenix Blood Stone away and make room for you in this store," Bai Wuchen said boastfully, not believing in this evil.

Zhi Xu looked at the people of Xiaoyao Peak as if he were watching clowns.

"The fact that you have come to my store means that you are destined. If you can take away this Phoenix Blood Stone, I won't take a single spirit stone. Just take it!"

Zhi Xu felt that the people in front of him were definitely daydreaming, just like those before them.

Bai Wuchen stretched his waist, shook his hands, and did some warm-up exercises. Seeing this, the others immediately cleared a space for Bai Wuchen.

Bai Wuchen's eyes were filled with the determination of the former Demon Emperor as he looked at the Phoenix Blood Stone on the display case. Bai Wuchen slowly approached. Just by approaching the Phoenix Blood Stone one step, Bai Wuchen could feel the powerful pure-blooded spiritual energy of the Phoenix Blood Stone.

Fortunately, Bai Wuchen's concentration was strong enough that he wasn't blasted away as soon as he approached the Phoenix Blood Stone.

"Fourth Senior Brother, can Second Senior Brother do it?" Ye Hongxue whispered to Ye Xiaoyao next to him.

"I think Second Senior Brother's mouth can do it, but the person can't."

Ye Xiaoyao opened his eyes and told the truth.

Under everyone's gaze, Bai Wuchen approached the Phoenix Blood Stone step by step. When he arrived in front of the Phoenix Blood Stone, Bai Wuchen slowly raised his arm, but in reality, Bai Wuchen activated the true energy in his body and circulated a lot of spiritual power to make his right arm able to lift.

"This Second Senior Brother looks quite easy," Chen Haoran said with a sarcastic look.

Zhi Xu had seen someone approach the Phoenix Blood Stone before, so Bai Wuchen did not cause any fluctuations in Zhi Xu's heart.

Bai Wuchen's lips were tightly pursed, staring intently at the Phoenix Blood Stone in front of him, determined to take down the Phoenix Blood Stone.

When Bai Wuchen's right hand was about to touch the Phoenix Blood Stone, the others held their breath and their eyes were full of anticipation. Even Zhi Xu's eyes were on Bai Wuchen's hand.

The closer Bai Wuchen got to the Phoenix Blood Stone, the more he could feel the powerful spiritual aura. The features on Bai Wuchen's face also became ferocious.

Bai Wuchen's hand had been frozen there, but he just couldn't get any closer to the Phoenix Blood Stone.

The Phoenix Blood Stone floated up and down, as if taunting Bai Wuchen invisibly.

Bai Wuchen gritted his teeth and directly used up all the true essence in his body to fight against the powerful spiritual aura of the Phoenix Blood Stone.

"Whoosh~"

The Phoenix Blood Stone flashed a red light, and Bai Wuchen was directly blasted backward.

"Bang!" Bai Wuchen's back slammed heavily into a tall display case, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Everyone's eyes followed Bai Wuchen and shifted.

Xiao Shan and Ye Feng immediately went over and helped Bai Wuchen up.

"Second Senior Brother, are you okay?" Xiao Shan asked anxiously.

Bai Wuchen endured the tremors in the true essence in his body caused by the powerful spiritual aura of the Phoenix Blood Stone.

Bai Wuchen squeezed out a勉强 smile and said to Xiao Shan.

"Senior Brother is fine, Xiao Shan doesn't need to worry."

Ye Feng took out the elixir he had refined and fed it to Bai Wuchen.

After Bai Wuchen took Ye Feng's elixir, the true essence in his body gradually calmed down. Bai Wuchen sat down, closed his eyes, and circulated his spiritual power to adjust his breath.

"Your situation is still good. Some people's five internal organs are directly injured by the pure-blooded spiritual energy of the Phoenix Blood Stone," Zhi Xu said with a nonchalant look.

Everyone saw Bai Wuchen's situation, and they all swallowed unconsciously.

"I'll do it!" Chen Haoran stood up fearlessly.

Chen Haoran walked straight towards the Phoenix Blood Stone. The closer he got to the Phoenix Blood Stone, the harder it was to move his feet.

Everyone looked at Chen Haoran's direction again, and when Chen Haoran just walked to the front of the Phoenix Blood Stone, before he could even raise his hand, the Phoenix Blood Stone flashed a red light, and Chen Haoran, like Bai Wuchen, was blasted away.

"Bang!"

It happened again, Chen Haoran slammed heavily into the display case.

Every display case in the store is made of black iron weighing thousands of pounds. Although Bai Wuchen and Chen Haoran slammed heavily into the display cases, the display cases did not move at all, and nothing on the display cases shook.

With the performances of Bai Wuchen and Chen Haoran, everyone gasped and each considered whether to challenge the pure-blooded spiritual energy of the Phoenix Blood Stone.

At this time, the Spiritual Radiance Star Stone on Xing Chenlan's neck emitted light again. Xing Chenlan noticed it and lowered his head to take out the Spiritual Radiance Star Stone on his neck.

Looking at the glowing Spiritual Radiance Star Stone, Xing Chenlan frowned slightly.

After a while, the light of the Spiritual Radiance Star Stone disappeared and returned to its original state.

Xing Chenlan remembered what Xing had told him before.
