"Phew!"
Even Old Man Wu couldn't help but gasp.
He looked up and gave Yi Feng a meaningful glance. In his eyes, Yi Feng taking out the Fire Pearl was like responding to his doubts.
It was as if saying, I can easily take out a Fire Pearl, but what about you?
Yi Feng noticed Old Man Wu's gaze and nodded at him with a smile, showing a conciliatory attitude. After all, he had effortlessly won this game of chess.
Sure enough.
Seeing this, Old Man Wu was certain Yi Feng was just as he had imagined.
He looked at the chessboard. Yes, he had lost at chess, but that was not what he cared about. The two of them had risen above the chess game to another level of competition.
He had to admit, he had never expected Yi Feng to be able to produce a Fire Pearl.
The Fire Pearl's value was higher than he could have imagined.
Matching its value were the Water Pearl, Earth Pearl, Metal Pearl, and Wood Pearl. Together, these five pearls could form the Great Infinite Pearl, instantly transforming an ordinary mortal who had never cultivated into a saint.
Legend had it that a supreme master in the North Sea had gathered the other four pearls, only lacking the Fire Pearl.
Yet unexpectedly, this Fire Pearl was here...
If he took this pearl to exchange with that master who happened to lack only the Fire Pearl, he could almost exchange it for treasures countless times the value of this pearl.
But he didn't.
Why?
With his cultivation level, it was unlikely he didn't know about this.
That meant that knowing he could exchange the Fire Pearl for something of much greater value, he chose not to make the exchange. This showed that he didn't actually need things dozens of times more valuable than the Fire Pearl that much.
He might even look down on them...
This person's cultivation is unfathomable, and his schemes are even more formidable than I imagined!
Old Man Wu looked at Yi Feng and made this judgment in his heart.
It seemed like he had only taken out a Fire Pearl, but the value it represented was far more than just one Fire Pearl!
That meant if he wanted to gain the upper hand in this contest, he would have to take out a treasure several times more valuable than the Fire Pearl.
No wonder, no wonder he was so confident.
However...
You seem to have underestimated me too!
A sharp gleam flashed in Old Man Wu's eagle eyes. He really did have such an item.
"Brother Yi, take a look at this for me," he said. With a wave of his hand, a seven-toothed rake appeared.
Seeing the rake that had suddenly materialized in his hand, Yi Feng was unsurprised. He figured the old man had just come back from farming in the fields and happened to have it with him.
The rake was probably not very functional anymore. Knowing he did some ironwork on the side, the old man had called him over to take a look. Since he'd asked, Yi Feng casually took it and examined it closely.
Seeing Yi Feng's studying expression, Old Man Wu smiled smugly.
This seven-toothed holy rake looked dull and lackluster with no highlights, but it was actually a divine artifact passed down from ancient times. It had the grade of a holy relic. Even though it was damaged, if spirit energy was used to activate it, it could still exert one-tenth of the power of a holy relic.
A holy relic.
The stuff of legends.
Even slightly damaged, its value was in no way comparable to a mere Fire Pearl.
And Yi Feng, with his cultivation level, would surely be able to discern this.
So at this moment, he could already envision Yi Feng's shocked expression when his jaw dropped.
To be fair, he had spent his entire life's savings and nearly lost half his life to obtain this seven-toothed holy rake. So no matter how astonished Yi Feng was next, it would be well deserved.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms.

He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances.
