The Cultivation World of Great Zhao has always been rather lacking in spirit stones. Just like in the case of King Zhangbei Manor, the royal family only bestows them twenty spirit stones per year. Such a small amount of spirit stones is far from sufficient for the needs of King Zhangbei Manor. Each year, they must find their own ways to acquire spirit stones.

Now, Qi Tian has actually brought out three hundred spirit stones all at once. It was not only surprising for outsiders, even Wang Song, Luo Xia and others from the Imperial Master Mansion looked at Qi Tian in disbelief. None of them expected Qi Tian to produce so many spirit stones at once. They could not fathom that to the current Qi Tian, three hundred spirit stones were just a drop in the ocean. Qi Tian’s Wuhang Ring still held hundreds of thousands of low-grade spirit stones and several thousand middle-grade ones.

Of course, three hundred spirit stones only aroused the attention of the crowd, and it was unlikely that anyone would be harboring any intentions just because of this. Many of the people present had considerable wealth. For example, Wang Song, the palace master of Golden Eagle Hall, had war weapons, battle armor, cultivation techniques, carried pills, private cave dwellings, and more. These were all assets. If converted to spirit stones, it might not be less than Qi Tian’s, but many of these were fixed and latent assets, unlike the tangible wealth in the form of spirit stones that Qi Tian showcased.

“What do you think? I’ve put forth three hundred spirit stones, now it’s your turn.” Qi Tian gently placed three wooden boxes on the table, then he looked at Zhang Xiankun with a disdainful gaze.

Zhang Xiankun could not bear this. He was the crown prince of the reputable Marquis’ Mansion. Although his cultivation level was not high, even Pan Yulin, who was at the third level of Foundation Establishment, had to follow his orders. Qi Tian, merely at the first level of Foundation Establishment, dared to challenge him. He could not accept this under any circumstances.

“Isn’t it just three hundred spirit stones? I’ll get them out now.” Without considering the heavy burden that bringing out three hundred spirit stones would place on the Marquis Jingguo Manor, Zhang Xiankun directly pulled off his storage bag from his waist and dumped everything out.

Immediately, a pile of stuff clattered onto the table. Among them were brocade boxes storing spirit stones, porcelain bottles containing pills, some natural treasures, and even silver notes. “All of these surpass the value of three hundred spirit stones, and no less.”

Upon seeing this, Pan Yulin quickly leaned over to Zhang Xiankun’s ear and advised in a soft voice, “Young Marquis, do not engage in a contest of pride. These spirit stones were hardly gathered by the Marquis for you to purchase other cultivation resources in the Capital City.”

Zhang Xiankun snorted and said, “Master Pan, there is no need to remind me, I know. But if I dare to bring them out, I naturally have my reasons. Let me ask you, are you confident of defeating Qi Tian?”

Upon hearing this, Pan Yulin puffed up his chest and said, “That’s for sure. Even though Qi Tian cultivates quickly, his foundation must be unstable, unlike me, a veteran at the Foundation Establishment stage. Besides, I am at the third level of Foundation Establishment, and even if my realm is suppressed to the second level, he won’t be able to deal with me.”

“That’s all I needed to hear. Just go and fight him. If you beat him, I’ll give you fifty spirit stones.” Zhang Xiankun said.

“Young Marquis, isn’t fifty stones a bit too less?” Pan Yulin bargained.

“Think it’s too little? Then you take out three hundred spirit stones yourself, fight Qi Tian. If you win, I don’t mind if you keep all of them.” Zhang Xiankun responded generously.

Pan Yulin quickly shook his head. If he had the ability to produce three hundred spirit stones all at once, he wouldn’t be serving at the Marquis Jingguo Manor.

“That’s all there is to it. Hurry and compete with Qi Tian. Even if you don’t kill him, make sure to skin him. Oh right, if you can actually kill him, I’ll split the spirit stones with you.” Zhang Xiankun said in a low voice.

Pan Yulin was delighted. He gave Qi Tian a glance, a cruel smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Qi Tian walked to the table and looked at the various treasures Zhang Xiankun brought out, then shook his head and said, “How can these scraps be worth three hundred spirit stones? Crown Prince, let me make it clear, if you can’t gather three hundred spirit stones, I won’t compete with you.”

“Qi Tian, stop this nonsense.” Zhang Xiankun said indignantly. “The value of things I put here is high, the total value would be more than the three hundred spirit stones, not less.”

“That’s something I don’t believe. How about this, Crown Prince, why don’t you ask around and see who’s willing to exchange these items on your table for three hundred spirit stones? Any of you interested?” Qi Tian shouted to the surrounding people.

Zhang Xiankun panicked, “Everyone, please come over and have a look, give your judgment, see whether or not the things I brought out are worth three hundred spirit stones?”

People like Wang Song, Luo Xia, Wang Xin, and others all gathered around. None of them reached out their hands, they only took a close look and then turned around and left.

“Everyone, please give a definite answer, are the things I brought worth more than three hundred spirit stones?” Zhang Xiankun, rarely being humble, greeted everyone with clenched fists.

Everyone remained silent. Some of the things Zhang Xiankun just brought out were unfamiliar to them. They could only ascertain that they were good, but couldn’t exactly measure their worth. For every cultivator, the ability to identify treasures is a basic skill. Admitting in front of so many people that they couldn’t identify an item is quite embarrassing.
