After entering the great hall, Ling Feng casually picked a window, behind which sat a rather charming and adorable young woman. When she saw Ling Feng, her face immediately flushed bright red.
"Ling... Ling Feng!"
The girl felt her heart pounding, unable to believe she was meeting the "legendary" figure.
"You know me too?" Ling Feng glanced at the girl and asked casually.
"It’s rare for anyone in Du Yue Heaven Palace not to know you!" The girl showed an excited expression on her face, "I never thought I’d be able to talk to the legendary Ling Feng!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s mouth twitched slightly; it’s true that fame can be troublesome.
"Little Senior Sister, I’m here to exchange for cultivation resources." Ling Feng took a deep breath and tried to speak with a gentle attitude.
"Oh, oh, oh!" The girl finally reacted, remembered her role, and quickly said, "What level of materials would you like to exchange?"
"Netherworld Crystal Stone, do you have it in stock?"
Ling Feng looked at the girl and asked slowly.
"Netherworld Crystal Stone?" The girl was evidently unfamiliar with Netherworld Crystal Stone. Most trainees typically exchange for items that enhance Sword Dao enlightenment or martial arts techniques.
Items like Netherworld Crystal Stone are relatively rarely exchanged.
The girl took out a thick booklet and, with her own indexing method, searched through it before nodding, "Senior Brother Ling, you’re in luck. There’s still one Netherworld Crystal Stone left in stock."
She checked the price again and was clearly shocked by it, exclaiming, "Wow, the Netherworld Crystal Stone is so expensive! It costs a billion contribution points!"
"A billion?"
Ling Feng was taken aback. Even though he was mentally prepared for the Netherworld Crystal Stone not being cheap, he hadn’t expected it to be quite this exorbitant.
Though he had won a billion contribution points as a reward from the Sky-reaching Sword Tower, he had quickly bet half of it while challenging the eighth level.
Since he still hadn’t managed to overcome the eighth level, five hundred million was still tied up in the Sword Tower.
With a billion contribution points, he couldn’t afford it for now.
Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, realizing there were times he felt financially strained.
"Yes, a billion." The girl stuck out her tongue, evidently surprised by how expensive the Netherworld Crystal Stone was.
And indeed, items like the Netherworld Crystal Stone are quite niche. Though they contain a unique Netherworld Spiritual Power, the price naturally can’t be reduced. However, for martial artists from West Sword Domain, they rarely need the Netherworld Crystal Stone, and as such, this stone had been collecting dust in the inventory.
Ling Feng shook his head with a wry smile, "It looks like I can’t afford it for now; I’ll have to come back next time."
Ling Feng made a silent resolve that he’d need to quickly break through the eighth level of the Sky-reaching Sword Tower to exchange for this Netherworld Crystal Stone.
"Alright, Senior Brother Ling." The girl said with a smile.
"By the way, does the exchange hall have any reservation system? I hope the Netherworld Crystal Stone won’t be exchanged by someone else before I come back."
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and spoke again.
"In theory, it doesn’t." The girl shook her head and then smiled, "But I just checked, and there’s been no record of anyone exchanging for the Netherworld Crystal Stone in decades, so you can rest assured, Senior Brother Ling."
"That’s good, thank you!"
Ling Feng nodded and then turned to leave the great hall.
The girl stared blankly at Ling Feng’s back as he walked out, suddenly realizing she had forgotten to tell him her name, lamenting, "Oh no, I forgot to tell him my name! Doesn’t that mean I’m not his friend yet? What a misstep!"
...
"Well, isn’t it Yueelin City’s unparalleled twins, Zhuge Wan’er!"
Outside the exchange hall, Zhuge Wan’er stamped her foot in anger because of Ling Feng and was about to leave when she ran into two flamboyantly dressed ladies.
These two ladies, one named Linghu Ying and the other Linghu Yu, were direct descendants of the Linghu family.
In terms of talent and appearance, these two were slightly inferior to Zhuge Wan’er, so they had always envied her.
Despite the warm call of "Wan’er sister," in their hearts, they harbored ill will.
Upon seeing these two women, Zhuge Wan’er furrowed her eyebrows and turned to leave, not wanting to deal with them.
"Oh, Wan’er sister, don’t be in such a hurry to leave!"
Linghu Ying quickly blocked Zhuge Wan’er’s path, giggling, "Wasn’t the gentleman who entered the great hall Ling Feng himself?"
"So what if he is?" Zhuge Wan’er glared at Linghu Ying, "Get out of my way, don’t block my path!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, could it be that Wan’er sister, who always prided herself on remaining aloof, has also set her eyes on Ling Feng? Or, are you being used by your Zhuge family to draw that young man in by you..."
Linghu Ying intentionally left her sentence half said, but the meaning was already clear.
"Nothing good ever comes out of a dog’s mouth, I can’t be bothered with you!"
Zhuge Wan’er tried to suppress her anger and wanted to leave but was blocked again by Linghu Ying.
"Wan’er sister, you won’t win a man’s heart this way." Linghu Ying said with a cheerful smile, "I just saw that Ling certainly didn’t seem interested in you at all!"
Zhuge Wan’er clenched her fist, "What does that have to do with you!"
"Of course, it does!"
Next to her, Linghu Yu snorted, "Ling Feng is prey for us sisters, you’d best stay away from him!"
"You?"
Zhuge Wan’er sneered, "Don’t make me laugh; both of you are lowly. Even Xuanyuan Yu didn’t want you at the start, and you think Ling Feng would?"
"You vile woman!"
Linghu Yu was embarrassed and enraged, and Linghu Ying’s eyes flashed with killing intent. The momentum from the three women exploded simultaneously, seemingly ready to erupt into a fight.
At this time, Ling Feng happened to walk out from the exchange hall, directly witnessing Zhuge Wan’er face-off against the two other women.
This woman, indeed troubling!
Ling Feng pouted but avoided looking directly at them, as he had no intention of involving himself in Zhuge Wan’er’s affairs.
Just then, the two women from the Linghu family quickly retracted their aura, with expressions shifting like masks, one looking innocent and alluring, while the other appeared gentle and demure, without a trace of hostility.
"Two lowly women!"
Zhuge Wan’er bit her silver teeth; to an outsider, the Linghu family’s sisters appeared to be gentle and graceful women, yet fundamentally, they were nothing but lowly women.
"This must be the renowned Young Master Ling, Ling Feng himself?"
Linghu Ying quickly approached Ling Feng, who was about to leave but was halted by this woman. As he turned around, a waft of overpowering scent assaulted his senses.
The smell was intense to the point of being irritating, causing Ling Feng to frown slightly.
"I am Ling Feng."
As the saying goes, courtesy is not met with hostility; Linghu Ying greeted Ling Feng so warmly, and he merely nodded and asked indifferently, "What can I do for you?"
