Even Feng Wuxu, with his abilities, couldn't give people glasses. He himself only had one, and it was inferior to Li Er's!
More importantly, the world where their Feng family resided, Fengtian World, ranked fifteenth among the righteous paths in the myriad realms. It wasn't that their ancestor wasn't strong, but rather that their ancestor was incredibly powerful, having single-handedly pushed Fengtian World into the fifteenth spot in the righteous path rankings.
This meant that their younger generation lacked many Saint Ancestors, relying solely on their ancestor to hold things together.
"I never imagined Brother Li would have such affluent friends. Perhaps you could introduce me sometime!" Feng Wuxu chuckled, making light of the situation.
Li Er smiled and said nothing. Then Feng Wuxu continued, "Earlier, Brother Li seemed puzzled as to why those people weren't introducing their wares to you?"
Li Er nodded. He was indeed a bit confused. Although he was at the Ancestor Venerable level, many of the vendors here were also Ancestor Venerables, some even with higher cultivation than Li Er.
"Haha, they saw the glasses you were wearing, Brother Li, which is why they didn't bother introducing their items. Anyone wearing such glasses is from a major power, and they wouldn't dare offend them, nor would they want to get involved, as it signifies trouble!" Feng Wuxu explained vaguely, implying that those wearing glasses were from powerful factions and wouldn't be interested in their meager offerings, making any introduction a waste of breath.
Li Er suddenly understood.
"Brother Li, this is your first time here, isn't it!" Feng Wuxu asked with a smile.
Li Er nodded. Feng Wuxu then said, "Speaking of the Yimu Great World, the most famous thing here is the God-Demon Stones!"
Li Er had never heard of God-Demon Stones and naturally waited for Feng Wuxu to elaborate. Meanwhile, many people had flocked to Li Er's live stream, curious about these God-Demon Stones.
Li Er paid no mind to the many apparitions surrounding him. Feng Wuxu, unable to see them, continued, "These God-Demon Stones are produced in ancient battlefields. Many seniors perished in these ancient battlefields, and their essence was then sealed within stones under the special blessings of the Great World. They could be Saint Weapons, or they could be nothing at all. Perhaps, with extreme luck, they might even contain Origin. In short, they are full of uncertainties, and thus, a God-Demon Stone industry has formed in the Yimu Great World!"
Li Er was stunned. This was essentially gambling on stones! He had even dabbled in it in his past life on Blue Star, though that was for jade. These God-Demon Stones, however, were all about luck and whether they contained Origin.
"Amazing! The Yimu Great World actually has such interesting things!" Li Yang praised, feeling a stir of excitement himself.
Li Er smiled and said, "I never imagined such a wondrous place existed. Brother Feng, do you know where we can find them?"
Feng Wuxu smiled, "Of course. I was planning to go myself. Brother Li, shall we go together?"
Li Er nodded. The two flew further inside, arriving at a magnificent and opulent palace. Around the palace were many oval stones, each over two meters tall. Feng Wuxu introduced, "Brother Li, these are the God-Demon Stones. It's impossible to fake these stones. Even the divine sense of a Saint Ancestor cannot detect what's inside. Therefore, it all comes down to one's discerning eye, experience, and, most importantly, luck."
Li Er approached a God-Demon Stone, examining it closely and touching it. He also released his divine sense, and indeed, he couldn't see through it. The surface of the stone seemed to have a natural formation, very mysterious.
"This is a God-Demon Stone. How much does it cost!" Li Yang's apparition also appeared beside a God-Demon Stone, asking.
"It's definitely not cheap, especially since you can find Origin!" Chen Chichi chimed in.
"My guess is ten World Pearls?" Tang San added.
"That many? Five would be incredible!" Ye Fan remarked.
After all, ten World Pearls were enough for an Ancestor God to cultivate to the Ancestor Venerable level. The World Pearls mentioned here were Great World Pearls.
Li Er observed for a while, and then an old man walked over, smiling, "Distinguished guests, Young Master Feng, you two can take a look at this batch of God-Demon Stones. This is new stock, and very few people have seen it yet!"
Li Er glanced at the old man. He had the cultivation of the third realm of Ancestor Venerable and directly addressed Feng Wuxu as Young Master Feng, indicating they knew each other.
"Old Qian, very few people have seen it? I don't think so. Are these leftovers? The quality seems ordinary!" Feng Wuxu scoffed.
He often dealt with God-Demon Stones and had some knowledge of them.
The old man, surnamed Qian, smiled slightly, "Young Master Feng, as you know, fewer and fewer ancient battlefields are being developed recently. It's not easy to even get this batch of goods."
Feng Wuxu said nothing further and calmly asked, "What's the price?"
Upon hearing the question about the price, the old man smiled gleefully and said, "This is new stock, fifty World Pearls each!"
Feng Wuxu examined them carefully. "That's too expensive. How about a discount?"
The old man shook his head. "I'm sorry, Young Master Feng. This price was set by the boss himself. There's nothing I can do."
Feng Wuxu grunted and stopped speaking, scrutinizing the stones. Li Er, completely clueless, followed behind Feng Wuxu.
"Damn it, fifty World Pearls? That's outrageous! With a hundred World Pearls and sufficient Origin, one could cultivate to Saint Ancestor!" Li Yang exclaimed directly.
He had only thirty World Pearls on him, not even enough to buy one stone.
Ye Fan and Tang San covered their faces in silence, as they were even worse off, with only a few World Pearls, making them true paupers.
"Brother Li, you might not understand. There's some experience involved with these things, but not much. Look at this one; it has a pattern. This kind of pattern generally indicates a weapon inside, but the quality is up to chance. And look at this one; the brown spots usually mean there's not much inside, perhaps just a broken piece of clothing. Of course, it's not absolute; it still depends on luck!" Feng Wuxu began to explain to Li Er.
The old man, Qian, didn't seem to mind and watched them with a smile.
When they arrived at a particular stone, Feng Wuxu examined it for a long time and found it satisfactory. He then produced fifty World Pearls and said, "I'll buy this one!"
Old Qian waved his hand and collected the World Pearls, smiling, "Young Master Feng has a good eye. This one is most likely to yield something. I'll go call the stone-cutting master!"
Li Er found it interesting and produced fifty World Pearls. "That one over there, I'll try my luck too!"
Old Qian smiled even more heartily and quickly replied, "Distinguished guest, please wait a moment."
"Holy cow, boss, you're so rich! Fifty World Pearls, just like that!" Chen Chichi exclaimed in astonishment.
