Chapter 696: Chapter 234: Xi Xi is a Naturally Born Divine Talisman Master, the Divine Monkey Regrets Attempting to Equal Heaven and Wishes to Return [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_2

Dense mysterious fog rolled around, with demons, evil spirits, and temple guardian cursed corpses wrapped in death qi occasionally emerging…

The Strange Que, in the eyes of Gongshu Jingjun, seemed like a grotto heaven that had been altered in its essence.

For many divine cultivators, this place was an excellent cultivation site. As long as one could withstand the threat, they could siphon sufficient divine power to enhance their own strength.

Not a single divine cultivator, who wished to reach a stronger realm, could resist the allure of Strange Que.

But the stronger the cultivation…

The greater the reverence they held for Strange Que!

It was as if…

Gongshu Jingjun looked up at the ceiling, which was pitch black as ink, so deep that it seemed to swallow even the light.

Claustrophobic, oppressive, barely able to breathe…

As if some great horror was lurking just above their heads, in a form they could not capture or see.

Quietly spying on them.

…

…

Winds roared, tearing apart the mysterious fog.

A figure in Mo Shan clothing rustled in the wind.

Li Che’s black hair was strong and resilient against the wind, as he carried a piece of spiritual wood and stepped out from the fog, landing on the white jade staircase in front of the Mysterious Temple.

Su Huaiming, Yun Haiyang, and Zhou Tianshui, the three woodcarving masters, their eyes sharpened, all simultaneously falling onto Li Che.

Of course, their focus was even more on the piece of spiritual wood in Li Che’s hand, radiating intense heat and majestic divinity!

“Is this… Lower Fifth-Order Spiritual Wood?!”

“How is this possible?!”

“How can this lad have such good fortune, to have found Lower Fifth-Order Spiritual Wood?”

The three of them had varying expressions on their faces.

“Looking at this divinity, color, and pattern, it is the Lower Fifth-Order [Blood Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood]! It must have grown for at least ten thousand years!”

Su Huaiming’s eyes shone with light; with his broad insight, he identified the type of spiritual wood at a glance.

“If I were to possess this piece of Lower Fifth-Order Spiritual Wood… my assessment for the position of Elder at Divine Carving Ridge would be a sure thing, without any threat!”

With this thought.

Su Huaiming couldn’t help but look fervently at Li Che, who had just stepped onto the white jade staircase.

“Young brother, would you be willing to sell this piece of Lower Fifth-Order Blood Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood to me?”

Su Huaiming said.

“I am willing to pay ten Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals for it!”

Li Che had just ascended the white jade staircase and didn’t expect Su Huaiming to be so decisive in his proposition.

To propose a big deal involving ten Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals right off the bat!

However, to be frank, Li Che felt that ten Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals to purchase this Bodhi Wood were not really pricey.

Different environments endowed goods with different values.

Just like at the top of Mount Tai in the previous life, a bottle of mineral water could sell for several times its price.

This piece of Blood Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood, in the outside world, would probably sell for around eight Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals. Su Huaiming was offering just two more Divinity Crystals in such an environment…

He was indeed being very stingy.

Did he, Li Che, look like someone who needed those two extra Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals?

Li Che calmly looked at Su Huaiming.

Su Huaiming frowned: “Not selling?”

Li Che replied with a gentle smile: “It’s not that… yes, I will sell it.”

“Just afraid Master Su can’t afford it.”

Su Huaiming narrowed his eyes, quietly watching Li Che: “Name your price.”

“One hundred,” Li Che said lightly.

Su Huaiming’s eyes narrowed.

Zhou Tianshui and Yun Haiyang, originally also wanting to speak up and compete, were immediately silenced upon hearing Li Che’s asking price.

One hundred Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals?!

This young man… truly dared to ask!

Su Huaiming was even amused by anger.

“Young man… your level of skill will only waste this spiritual wood, why not do the Su family a favor? Give me, Su Huai, some face?”

Li Che’s eyes were gentle, seemingly honest and sincere as he looked at Su Huai: “The face of an elder… is worth one hundred Lower Five Elders Divinity Crystals?”

Su Huai was too embarrassed to even respond.

“Young man, you do not know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that with Fifth-Order spiritual wood, you can make up for the gap in experience and skill?”

Su Huai said angrily, and after a sharp sleeve flick, he carried his [Dragon Blood Divine Nanmu] and walked directly into the Mysterious Temple.

Yun Haiyang and Zhou Tianshui looked at Li Che with surprise.

They were somewhat relieved that the Fifth-Order spiritual wood in Li Che’s hands had not fallen into Su Huai’s possession; otherwise, they would truly have no chance at all.

Their gaze towards Li Che softened a lot.

But they still felt that this young man was too greedy.

Li Che sighed with regret, thinking that a sudden fortune was within his grasp.

“Do you truly not wish to buy?”

Li Che asked again, looking at Su Huai’s retreating figure.

A cold snort from Su Huai drifted back only after his figure had completely entered the Mysterious Temple.

“Fifth-Order spiritual wood… Just a second-rank Astronomical Observatory Guest Official, you probably can’t even cut the wood…”

“Once you’ve ruined this spiritual wood, it will become worthless!”

Li Che shook his head: “I gave you the opportunity… but you didn’t want it.”

Zhou Tianshui and Yun Haiyang only felt that this young man, Li Che, was truly audacious.

Without exchanging many words, all three entered Strange Que.

Li Che’s heart in his chest throbbed, and the Spiritually Bright True Ape within his inner scene roared angrily, causing the divinity he had accumulated within to boil incessantly.

Seven Emotions and Six Desires Divine Power, all brewing like a tempestuous wave, rolling endlessly!

He activated his Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit, with the fruit shaking, finally calming the Spiritually Bright True Ape Divine Appearance.

Inside the Mysterious Temple, candlelight flickered faintly, with a total of 9,999 white candles burning, arranged in nine rows encircling the temple walls.

This arrangement made the entire temple glow with brilliant, radiant light.
