Tycoon War God

Just when Mia Qing and the other two women thought Lin Mu would ignore it, they suddenly heard a voice.

”We’re free anyway, let’s go take a look.”

Li Lingqing cheered and jumped for joy, while Mia Qing and Langya exchanged a speechless look.

”The World Master really does spoil his Disciple…”

That was Mia Qing’s only thought.

The street-stall area at the end of the market was already packed with people.

A woman wearing mundane-style armor stood atop a high platform, like a javelin that pierced sky and earth, motionless.

Everyone could feel the battle intent radiating from her.

Langya had originally been impatient with Li Lingqing’s mischief, but the instant she saw the woman on the stage, her eyes suddenly lit up!

From that woman, she sensed a surging, boiling battle intent.

Ever since coming to the Heavenly Realm, everyone she’d met had been Cultivators.

Each one had an immortal air, lofty and detached, none like this woman who could stir Langya’s desire to fight.

”Lady Xin Thirteen, are you still planning to trade this treasure for a single strike from a Second Tribulation Ancestor?”

Someone heckled, drawing peals of laughter from the crowd.

Clearly, none of them took Lady Xin Thirteen’s terms seriously.

A Second Tribulation Ancestor was an existence standing incomparably high.

Even across the dozen or so regions subordinate to the entire Terrifying Continent, the number of Second Tribulation Ancestors was extremely limited.

To make a Second Tribulation Ancestor take action was absolutely not something an ordinary treasure could buy.

The woman on the high platform suddenly opened her eyes and looked over everyone present.

The noise died down considerably.

This woman was, after all, a Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor who had passed the First Heavenly Tribulation, while most of the onlookers below were at the Integration Path Boundary.

If she weren’t so famous—already turned into a running joke around the Bei Kuo Sea—these Unity Realm Stage experts would never dare to tease her like this.

Lady Xin Thirteen showed no sign of anger; she flipped her palm, taking out a blue-glimmering orb.

”The magical treasure Sea-suppressing Pearl, in exchange for a single strike from a Second Tribulation Ancestor!”

After saying this, she fell silent.

An Ancestor who had also passed the First Heavenly Tribulation, unafraid of Lady Xin Thirteen, laughed loudly and said, ”Lady Xin Thirteen, why don’t you tell us what wonders this magical treasure of yours has, so we can all broaden our horizons!”

Magical treasures were exceedingly rare.

Aside from Middle-grade Holy Lands that had three or four Heavenly Tribulations, only a few Lower-grade Holy Lands that possessed Second Tribibration Ancestors were qualified to have them.

But from the tone of these people, it was obvious they didn’t take Lady Xin Thirteen’s so-called Sea-suppressing Pearl magical treasure seriously at all.

When she heard that Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor’s words, a trace of helplessness flashed across Lady Xin Thirteen’s cool face, and in the end she spat out a single word.

”Heavy!”

So this so-called Sea-suppressing Pearl magical treasure of Lady Xin Thirteen’s actually had only one mystical property: it was especially heavy!

When driven by Tribulation Thunder Thoughts, it would produce an extremely terrifying weight!

When Lady Xin Thirteen had first appeared, a Second Tribulation Ancestor had taken an interest and decided to test it.

After he injected a single Second-stage Tribulation Thoughts into it, even that Second Tribulation Ancestor couldn’t lift the Sea-suppressing Pearl’s weight.

But that was all; aside from being extremely heavy, it had no other function!

With such a useless magical treasure, no one could imagine what purpose its creation was supposed to serve.

And yet some Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor had actually gone mad enough to nurture this piece of trash into a magical treasure.

It was simply unbelievable.

From then on, Lady Xin Thirteen became a joke.

Her magical treasure had been tested by many people, and it truly had only the single attribute of being extremely heavy, not even worthy of being called a chicken rib!

From the crowd’s discussion, Mia Qing and the other two women learned the story of the Sea-suppressing Pearl and were quite speechless.

Carrying such a useless magical treasure and trying to sell it here for several thousand years—it was no wonder she’d been called a madwoman.

Whoosh!

The three women only felt their vision blur, and to their shock they saw that Lin Mu had actually stepped onto the high platform.

Mia Qing stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

That the Lord of the Blessed Land, Lin Wudi, would actually take an interest in this sort of thing?

Langya and Li Lingqing also looked at each other, then spoke in unison, ”This must be an incredible magical treasure!”

In their minds, any magical treasure that Lin Mu valued had to be extraordinary.

Mia Qing was quite speechless at the blind worship of these two.

”May I take a look at your magical treasure?”

Lin Mu smiled as he spoke to Lady Xin Thirteen.

Lady Xin Thirteen clearly froze.

It seemed even she hadn’t expected that someone would actually come onto the platform to examine the magical treasure.

For over a thousand years now, after she’d come here dozens of times in a row, beyond the hecklers and gawkers, no one had paid this magical treasure any mind.

”Daoist friend, you’re actually interested in this piece of trash?”

The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor who had been making fun of Lady Xin Thirteen stared at Lin Mu in surprise.

Lin Mu ignored him and simply looked quietly at Lady Xin Thirteen.

”Ah? Please, Daoist friend…”

Lady Xin Thirteen snapped out of it and hurriedly handed over the Sea-suppressing Pearl.

However, as she passed it over, she subconsciously blurted out, ”I want to trade this magical treasure for a single strike from a Second Tribulation Ancestor. Does your Sect have a Second Tribulation Ancestor?”

Lin Mu did not answer; instead, he sent his Divine Sense into the Sea-suppressing Pearl.

”It really is this thing.”

On the surface Lin Mu remained calm, but inwardly he was quite delighted.

”Daoist Xin, come with me; let’s discuss the terms of our trade,” Lin Mu said evenly.

This time, a look of shock appeared on Lady Xin Thirteen’s cool face.

”You… you want to trade with me?”

Seeing Lin Mu nod, Lady Xin Thirteen gritted her teeth and said, ”This magical treasure of mine only has one function, and that’s being extremely heavy!”

She was afraid Lin Mu had some other expectations; if negotiations fell apart, she’d be disappointed all over again.

Seeing how straightforward she was, Lin Mu smiled and said, ”I’m very satisfied with that word ’heavy’!”

Lady Xin Thirteen was finally wild with joy; after waiting five thousand years, someone was at last willing to trade with her!

Below the platform, an uproar broke out.

No one had expected that someone would truly trade with Lady Xin Thirteen.

The Tribulation-Crossing Ancestor who had been mocking her looked suspiciously at Lin Mu, strongly suspecting that Lin Mu was actually interested in Lady Xin Thirteen’s beauty.

Just as Lin Mu was about to leave with Lady Xin Thirteen, a somewhat cold voice rang out.

”Daoist friend, I advise you to think this through. Some things burn your hands the moment you take them.”

As the voice sounded, a white-haired, white-bearded old man appeared in front of Lin Mu and Lady Xin Thirteen.

When Lady Xin Thirteen saw him, her expression changed drastically, and she shouted angrily, ”Old Dog Wu! You actually kept watch over me in the Bei Kuo Sea for six thousand years?”

The old man ignored Lady Xin Thirteen and instead fixed his cold gaze on Lin Mu. ”If I were you, Daoist friend, I’d walk away now, rather than invite trouble.”

Lin Mu said calmly, ”You want to ruin my opportunity?”

In the Heavenly Realm, stopping someone from obtaining a magical treasure was undoubtedly destroying their opportunity.

The old man suddenly sneered. ”It’s just a useless magical treasure. What opportunity? Daoist friend…”

He wanted to say more, but Lin Mu cut him off directly.

”I’m only curious about one thing. You’ve been watching Lady Xin Thirteen in the Bei Kuo Sea for six thousand years—why haven’t you captured her?”

Lin Mu looked quite interested.

Before the old man could answer, Lady Xin Thirteen said coldly, ”Because his master wants to humiliate me on purpose, to drive me to despair!”

Hearing this answer, Lin Mu, who had been expecting some drama, was rather disappointed.

”Daoist friend…”

”Scram!”

The instant the old man spoke again, Lin Mu sent a palm strike crashing out!

Boom!

Hundreds of Dao Arts merged into a giant palm that slammed into the old man’s chest.

The old man flew backward in disbelief, coughing up a mouthful of golden blood.

”You’re courting death!”

The old man roared in fury, and a Tribulation Thought Blade formed from five hundred Tribulation Thunder Thoughts slashed toward Lin Mu!
