Chapter 720 Extracting Pure Liquid Gold from Her Deepest Cavern

Chapter 720: Chapter 720 Extracting Pure Liquid Gold from Her Deepest Cavern

On the surface, Lin Feng looked completely ordinary.

There was no visible spiritual essence around his body, and he did not appear to possess even the slightest trace of cultivation.

To anyone using their spiritual sense to examine him, he was nothing more than an ordinary mortal.

Li Ruoxi, however, was completely different.

The spiritual energy radiating from her body was subtle but unmistakable to an experienced cultivator.

She was a genuine Core Formation Realm powerhouse.

Normally, a woman of her level should have absolutely nothing to do with an ordinary mortal man.

Yet here she was.

Not only was she walking beside him, but she was also holding his hand naturally, without the slightest hint of reluctance.

The old vendor had lived for many years and had seen countless strange things in the cultivation world.

There were many possible explanations.

Perhaps Lin Feng was hiding his cultivation.

Perhaps he possessed some extraordinary treasure that concealed his aura.

Perhaps he came from some terrifying background that even a Core Formation Realm cultivator could not afford to offend.

Or perhaps there was something about this seemingly ordinary mortal that even he could not see.

The old vendor did not know which explanation was correct.

But he knew one thing.

This young man was definitely not as simple as he appeared.

Interesting.

The old vendor’s eyes flashed with curiosity.

He had been selling stone treasures for a long time, and one of the most important things he had learned was never to judge a person solely by appearances.

Some of the richest people looked like ordinary beggars.

Some of the most terrifying cultivators deliberately concealed their strength.

And sometimes, the person everyone looked down on was precisely the person nobody should have offended.

Besides, the old vendor was a businessman.

Whether Lin Feng was truly a mortal or a hidden expert did not matter to him.

A customer was a customer.

As long as someone was willing to spend one million high-grade spirit stones on his stone treasures, he would welcome them with both hands.

The old vendor immediately put on a wide smile.

"Please, take your time, young master."

He even made a welcoming gesture toward the pile of colorful stones.

The old vendor knew better than anyone how difficult it was to find customers willing to gamble one million high-grade spirit stones on a single stone.

If someone was willing to buy, why would he chase them away?

As for the people shouting around them, he simply ignored them.

After all, they were not the ones paying him.

"Thank you. I’ll take this one for my wife."

Lin Feng smiled and casually pointed toward a colorful stone sitting among the others.

The stone was completely different from the rest. Its surface shimmered with a golden radiance, as though someone had trapped sunlight inside it.

From time to time, faint golden patterns seemed to flicker across its surface before disappearing again.

Lin Feng picked it up and examined it for a moment before handing it to the old vendor.

He then casually tossed a storage ring toward the old man.

The old vendor caught it smoothly.

"Hmm?"

Several people immediately turned their attention toward the storage ring.

A cultivator standing nearby suddenly snorted.

"Hah! If that mortal trash really has one million high-grade spirit stones in that ring, I’ll eat my slippers right here and now!"

His voice was loud and confident.

He clearly did not believe Lin Feng could possibly possess such an enormous amount of wealth.

The surrounding cultivators immediately burst into laughter.

"Eat your slippers?"

"Hahaha! You better prepare yourself!"

"There’s no way a mortal has one million high-grade spirit stones!"

"That is a fortune even for many Core Formation Realm cultivators!"

The man proudly crossed his arms and looked at Lin Feng as though he were watching a clown perform.

However, the laughter gradually died down when the old vendor casually swept his spiritual sense into the storage ring.

The old man’s expression remained calm.

He did not say anything.

He simply glanced at Lin Feng before putting the storage ring away.

That was all.

But the cultivator who had just made the bold declaration suddenly froze.

His smile disappeared.

His eyes widened.

"Wait..."

He stared at the old vendor.

Then he looked at Lin Feng.

Then back at the old vendor.

"W-Wait a second..."

His voice trembled slightly.

"Does this mortal really have that kind of money?!"

Nobody answered him.

They didn’t need to.

The old vendor’s silence had already given him the answer.

The man’s face instantly turned bright red.

He had confidently declared that he would eat his own slippers if Lin Feng possessed one million high-grade spirit stones.

Now he desperately wished the ground would split open and swallow him whole.

Why did I open my big mouth?!

He quietly lowered his head and tried to retreat into the crowd.

Unfortunately, nobody cared about him anymore.

The attention of everyone present had already shifted back to Lin Feng.

After all, one million high-grade spirit stones had been paid without even the slightest hesitation.

This seemingly ordinary mortal had just casually taken out a fortune that many cultivators would struggle to accumulate in their entire lives.

And now he was holding one of the mysterious stone treasures in his hands.

The crowd’s curiosity immediately reached its peak.

"Could that stone really contain a treasure?"

"Who knows?"

"He actually picked that golden stone?"

"It looks extraordinary, but appearances can be deceiving."

"Perhaps he has some special method of judging the stones."

"Or perhaps he is simply gambling blindly."

Even those who had mocked Lin Feng earlier were now staring intensely at the colorful stone.

Nobody was laughing anymore.

They were all waiting.

They wanted to see whether this mysterious mortal had just thrown away one million high-grade spirit stones on a piece of worthless rock...

Or whether he was about to uncover another astonishing treasure.

Lin Feng calmly held the golden stone in his hand.

Beside him, Li Ruoxi watched with a faint smile.
