A young man dressed in a black robe stood beside the stall, looking provocatively at Aotian.
Behind the young man stood two middle-aged men, one on each side, seemingly acting as his bodyguards.
When Aotian saw the two middle-aged men, his pupils involuntarily narrowed slightly; both of them were Innate Martial Artists.
For two Innate Martial Artists to willingly protect someone, this young man likely had a significant background...
"Boss, name your price; this iron piece is mine!" The young man said with an arrogant expression, as if he didn't notice Aotian and Xiao Ya standing nearby.
"Uh, I'm sorry, young master, but this gentleman has already expressed interest in it," the stall owner said awkwardly while pointing at Aotian.
"Oh?"
The young man looked Aotian and Xiao Ya up and down before loudly declaring:
"Kid, this iron piece is wanted by our Skeleton Adventure Team. Do you have any objections?"
At that moment, many martial artists had gathered around to watch. Upon hearing the young man's words, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd:
"I can't believe this young man is from the Skeleton Adventure Team?!"
"Yes, the Skeleton Adventure Team has quite a reputation throughout Fengyun Nation. It's rumored that their captain is a Half-Step Human Spirit martial artist; I wonder if that's true..."
"That part is true. I've seen the captain of the Skeleton Adventure Team kill a peak-level Mystic Beast with a single strike. Such strength could only belong to a Half-Step Human Spirit martial artist!"
"That young man must be Qiu Wenxuan, the captain's son..."
"Those two are in trouble; the Skeleton Adventure Team is stationed in Mystic Spirit Town, and their members include several innate experts. I hope those two know what they're up against..."
Hearing the murmurs around him, Qiu Wenxuan's arrogance grew stronger. Meanwhile, Aotian frowned slightly, seemingly surprised by the other party's significant backing.
Of course, while the Skeleton Adventure Team was somewhat formidable, they were not enough to make Aotian feel constrained. He dared to provoke Azure Cloud Sect; a mere Skeleton Adventure Team would only make him feel a bit more serious about the situation.
"Sorry, this iron piece is of some use to me, so I can't give it to you..." Aotian said lightly, raising his eyelids.
Upon hearing Aotian's words, a commotion erupted around them, as if no one expected that the kid would actually dare to offend the Skeleton Adventure Team.
"Kid, what did you say? You dare not give me this little iron piece when I asked for it? You've really got some guts!" Qiu Wenxuan's eyes glinted with a hint of malice.
Aotian ignored Qiu Wenxuan and addressed the stall owner: "Ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones, I'll buy it!"
"Kid, that's quite a lot of Mysterious Origin Stones. Why not contribute a bit to my Skeleton Adventure Team?" Qiu Wenxuan sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, an illusory force surged from Qiu Wenxuan's body, transforming into a phantom fist that struck towards Aotian.
"Soul Power? You're a Soul Practitioner?!"
Aotian's expression changed slightly as he began to understand why Qiu Wenxuan was so intent on that little iron piece.
This iron piece was clearly linked to Soul Practitioners in some unknown way. It seemed that Qiu Wenxuan sensed the impact this iron piece had on his soul, which was why he wanted to buy it.
Just as the phantom fist was about to hit Aotian, a similarly illusory force surged from Aotian's body and collided violently with Qiu Wenxuan's Soul Power.
The clash of Soul Powers did not cause destruction like Mystical Energy would; instead, the residual waves of their souls created a profound fear among the surrounding warriors.
"Boom!"
After the two comparable Soul Powers collided, both Aotian and Qiu Wenxuan's faces turned pale. Clearly, both had sustained some injuries.
The confrontation of Soul Power appeared less dangerous than that of Mystical Energy but carried its own unique peril.
The soul is fundamental to all living beings; once damaged, one could become an idiot at best or lose their soul entirely at worst. Therefore, aside from Soul Practitioners, no living being dared to engage in clashes using Soul Power lightly.
After all, from a certain perspective, a soul clash is even more dangerous than a confrontation involving Mystical Energy.
Qiu Wenxuan took a few steps back after colliding souls with Aotian, coughing twice involuntarily. His expression was quite serious as he said, "I didn't expect you to be a Soul Practitioner too!"
Aotian's expression was also grim. Upon hearing Qiu Wenxuan's words, he coldly smiled and replied, "Likewise!"
Qiu Wenxuan narrowed his eyes, a clear malice flickering within them. "Unfortunately, you forgot that I'm not the only one here today. Take this kid down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two middle-aged men standing behind Qiu Wenxuan stepped forward, their powerful auras pressing toward Aotian.
"Hmph, trying to use numbers to bully me?!" Xiao Ya let out a cold snort, and a terrifying aura surged from within her, colliding violently with the two incoming forces.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the two middle-aged men beside Qiu Wenxuan spat out a mouthful of blood upon the clash of their auras. With dry throats, they managed to say, "First... Innate Nine Levels?!"
Upon hearing their words, Qiu Wenxuan's face was filled with disbelief.
Warriors at the Innate Nine Levels are rare even in Mystic Spirit Town. Even the Skeleton Adventure Team would not casually offend an Innate Nine Levels warrior. After all, only a team leader could deal with such a level of warrior...
Qiu Wenxuan's complexion alternated between green and red; he found himself in a situation where he couldn't leave or stay.
If I leave like this, what will happen to the reputation of the Skeleton Adventure Team? And that mysterious iron plate is still not in my hands! If I don't leave and confront them, I will surely offend that martial artist from the Innate Nine Levels, and a martial artist of that caliber is not someone even my father would easily provoke...
Suddenly, a look of determination flashed in Qiu Wenxuan's eyes as he turned to the middle-aged stall owner and said:
"I'll offer twenty thousand Mysterious Origin Stones to buy that iron plate!"
Clearly, Qiu Wenxuan understood that if he forced the issue now, he would be the one at a disadvantage. Thus, he decided to use this method to acquire the Mysterious Iron Plate. After all, those who pay more get what they want, and they couldn't say anything against it.
Upon hearing Qiu Wenxuan's words, the stall owner's eyes immediately sparkled with interest, seemingly considering selling the iron plate to Qiu Wenxuan.
"I'll offer fifty thousand Mysterious Origin Stones!"
Seeing the stall owner's expression, Aotian immediately spoke up.
The middle-aged stall owner’s eyes glinted with greed upon hearing Aotian's words.
Meanwhile, Qiu Wenxuan's face turned extremely ugly.
Fifty thousand Mysterious Origin Stones was no small amount. Even though he was the son of the Skeleton Adventure Team's captain, he couldn't mobilize such a vast sum of Mysterious Origin Stones. After all, Mysterious Origin Stones were not just for his personal use.
He simply couldn't imagine where this kid had come from to possess such wealth.
Little did he know that Aotian was also feeling a pang in his heart. He was risking offending the Azure Cloud Sect for just ten thousand Mysterious Origin Stones obtained from Aoling.
When he broke through to the Innate Second Layer, he had already spent fifty thousand Mysterious Origin Stones, and now this fifty thousand was what Aotian had just blurted out.
Upon hearing Aotian call out this price, Xiao Ya almost choked on his breath.
He understood that Aotian offered such a high price because he wanted to obtain that iron plate, but more likely it was because he couldn't swallow his pride.
This made Xiao Ya roll his eyes in frustration and sigh inwardly:
"After all, they are still a child, easily impulsive..."
A flash of ruthlessness passed through Qiu Wenxuan's eyes as they said, "Fine, take this broken piece of iron!"
With that, they turned and left.
Whether Qiu Wenxuan truly intended to give up this piece of iron remained unknown...
Watching Qiu Wenxuan's retreating figure, Aotian felt a deep sense of despair.
However, since the price had been called out, there was no chance for regret.
After cursing inwardly, Aotian reluctantly handed over the Mysterious Origin Stone...
