Awkward situation
"Rent?"
Zhuowen raised an eyebrow and looked at Shi Huai, waiting for him to continue.
"Yes, how about this!
All eight heavens should need divine stones, right?
We won't take advantage of you. A day's rent is 655 supreme-grade divine stones. We've been here for four days, so we can pay you 955 supreme-grade divine stones first, "Shi Huai said indifferently.
Magatama and Yuezu had already arrived by Zhuowen's side. After hearing Shi Huai's payment, both of them heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. They didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Shi Huai's payment.
Zhuowen sneered in his heart. Supreme-Grade divine stones were basically useless to him.
He knew that supreme-grade divine stones were very valuable in the eight heavens, but in the eyes of the Xuan Mi Heavenly Region's Heavenly Dao Masters, they were no different from trash.
Trying to get rid of Zhuowen with something that was trash in the eyes of others? Wasn't it a little too idealistic?
Shi Huai frowned when he saw Zhuowen's indifference, and he said, "You think it's too little?
Then I'll double it. 755 supreme-grade divine stones a day. "
Zhuowen replied indifferently, "One high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystal a day. Otherwise, there's no need to talk!"
Shi Huai and the others were shocked when they heard this, and they looked at Zhuowen strangely.
"This fellow knows about Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals?" The woman in the cheongsam looked at Zhuowen curiously.
She was sure that only the Xuan Mi Heavenly Region had Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, and it was impossible for the eight heavens to have them.
However, this so-called Region Master of the Great Brahma Region not only possessed unfathomable strength, but also knew about Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals. At this moment, this person was shrouded in a dense and mysterious aura.
Shi Huai, Guo Yi, and the others' expressions changed slightly. The reason Shi Huai raised the rent was naturally because he felt that this white-clothed young man didn't know about Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals.
However, he hadn't expected this young man to ask for high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals right away. This was simply asking for too much.
They were merely Heavenly Dao Lords and only had low-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals on them. They didn't even have mid-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, let alone high-grade ones.
Moreover, high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals were used by second-step Dao Validation experts for cultivation. They were not qualified to use high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, let alone possess such Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals.
"If you don't, then tear down this stele. Don't obstruct my territory."
Seeing the expressions of Shi Huai and the others, Zhuowen knew that they did not have any high-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals on them.
Zhuowen finally understood the value of high-class Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals. This group of people were all Heavenly Dao Masters, and some of them came from powerful Daoist sects. Yet, none of them actually had high-class Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals.
From this, it could be seen just how precious high-grade Heavenly Law Origin Crystals were.
As for the special-grade Heaven's Path Origin Crystals, they were even more precious than high-grade Heaven's Path Origin Crystals.
When he thought about how he had used up the only 75 special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals on him, Zhuowen felt a faint heartache.
However, he did not regret it. At least those 75 special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals had allowed his clone to successfully advance to the two-star realm.
However, Zhuowen was a little worried about his clone's future path of advancement.
Just advancing from one-star to two-star required such a terrifying amount of energy. Coupled with the preciousness of the special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals, wouldn't his clone need even more special-grade Heavenly Dao Origin Crystals to advance to a higher level in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhuowen felt a little vexed.
Shi Huai's gaze was cold as he said, "Aren't you being too arrogant? We've already made concessions, yet you're still pushing your luck. Do you really think we're easy to bully?"
As he spoke, Shi Huai took a step forward, and his powerful aura poured out without holding back at all. On the other hand, Guo Yi took a step forward with Shi Huai, and his gaze was extremely cold and indifferent as well.
A disdainful smile appeared on the corners of Zhuowen's mouth. Shi Huai and Guo Yi were indeed slightly stronger than the others here. Based on their auras, it was obvious that they were probably peak Heavenly Law Lords.
What was worth Zhuo Wen's attention was that the steel giant standing beside the woman in the cheongsam gave Zhuo Wen a sense of danger.
Obviously, the strongest in this group was probably not Shi Huai and Guo Yi, but the steel giant that had never spoken a word.
"He doesn't know how to appreciate kindness!" The cheongsam woman shook her head. She felt that Zhuowen was pushing his luck.
On the other hand, the steel giant suddenly spoke, "Instead of saying that he's pushing his luck, I feel that we're pushing our luck too far!
This is his territory, so he's naturally displeased by our sudden intrusion.
"If he was just a weakling, then he would naturally not dare to go head-on against us. However, he isn't weak, and he's even very strong. Any expert would absolutely not allow others to casually bully them like this.
"Moreover, as far as I'm concerned, he's already shown mercy to us. At the very least, he didn't attack us right away and just asked us to tear down the stone stele and test it. That request isn't going too far. It's Shi Huai and Guo Yi who've gone too far."
The cheongsam woman gazed at the steel giant with surprise. She was clearly aware that this bodyguard by her side had a taciturn character and didn't really like to talk.
However, the steel giant had actually spoken so much because of the white clothed young man. She could discern that the steel giant attached great importance to the white clothed young man.
The cheongsam woman asked casually, "Shi Huai and Guo Yi are both peak Heavenly Law Lords, and they're much stronger than that fellow from before. Moreover, they've joined forces. How many moves do you think that kid can resist against their joint forces?"
"My lady, you think too highly of Shi Huai and Guo Yi. As far as I'm concerned, neither of them is a match for this kid!" The steel giant said firmly.
The cheongsam woman's pupils shrank as she looked at the steel giant seriously. Seeing that the steel giant didn't seem to be joking, she felt very uneasy.
She didn't doubt the steel giant's judgment because the steel giant was very strong, far stronger than anyone else present. He was a true powerhouse of the Purple Red House, and his strength was at least that of a Daoyuan Master.
Moreover, the steel giant was only guessing that the steel giant was a Daoyuan Master. The cheongsam woman had never seen the steel giant use his full strength. Even her father had great respect for the steel giant, which spoke volumes of the steel giant's strength.
Although the steel giant had a very high opinion of Zhuowen, the cheongsam woman still didn't think much of it. In this regard, she still insisted that the white clothed young man couldn't possibly be a match for Shi Huai and Guo Yi when they joined forces.
The steel giant also felt the cheongsam woman's disapproval, but he didn't say anything else. He knew that this kind of thing didn't have much credibility.
