Chapter 1305: with translation of chapter title

Stall owner Xu Zhou couldn't help but glance at Xiao Feng, feeling a bit sour, wondering what kind of man would make a woman lavishly spend a million Spirit Stones to curry favor.

Xiao Feng hearing this also felt a headache, speechlessly said: "I really don't need this, I'm just curious. You'd better save your money; we're strangers, no need to be so extravagant."

Yu Cixue smiled faintly: "Precisely because we're strangers, we should give a modest gift; otherwise how would we make friends? Boss, is it packed?"

Xiao Feng: ……

The stall owner quickly got to work, nimble-handed, and in a moment packed it into a box prop, saying: "The box costs 100,000, total 3,287,000 Spirit Stones, I'll charge you 3,200,000."

"Hmm." Yu Cixue casually tossed a Spirit Stone bag onto the counter, then handed the packed prop to Xiao Feng.

【Talisman Box】: Can use any talisman inside at any time; currently recorded talismans: 46 types.

Xiao Feng didn't take it, but instead asked the female player: "You're very wealthy?"

"Not bad, I have a Spirit Stone vein that yields a few million a day." Yu Cixue smiled.

This wealth…… although it can't compare to Xiao Feng once sitting on the treasury of the Heavenly Dao Divine Kingdom, but in the world of ordinary players, it's absolutely a top-tier tycoon!

But…… having money doesn't mean you need to throw things around recklessly!

"I really do have a wife……"

Xiao Feng reiterated his statement.

Yu Cixue chuckled lightly, saying: "If you have one, you have one; I'm envious. Your strength is not bad; I haven't seen you in the Qianlong Continent region—when did you rise?"

That question sounded a bit more normal.

Xiao Feng replied: "Yeah, I just rose recently."

"You have no guild; want to join our Thousand Cloud Sect? Although we're not the strongest, we're still solidly in the top ten." Yu Cixue extended the invitation; this time she openly stated her purpose.

Her earlier flirtation was on behalf of her friend; her interest in Xiao Feng mainly came from his 1.888 billion HP and level 380.

A guild is just a guild; she is the deputy sect leader of the Thousand Cloud Sect guild, equivalent to a vice president, and her status is quite high.

But Xiao Feng could only refuse: "I don't join guilds."

He hasn't even quit the demolition team, so he definitely can't join another. Even if he quit and joined, he'd have nothing to contribute—can't do territory wars, can't do guild quests, good for nothing.

"So arrogant? How about we team up for a dungeon?" Yu Cixue thought he was aloof, disliking group play.

Xiao Feng shook his head: "No need, I'll just get by casually. You keep this; I really don't need it."

Rejected again, Yu Cixue felt helpless and could only put the talisman box away.

She looked at Xiao Feng, puzzled: "You're quite strange—are you afraid I'll covet you, or are you truly desireless and need nothing?"

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched; he really wanted to tell her: "Don't misunderstand, I'm just unfamiliar with this place."

But saying that would be too strange, so he kept it to himself and replied: "It's not that I need nothing; it's just that what I need is hard to find."

"Oh? How hard is it to find? You've piqued my interest." Yu Cixue said intriguingly.

Xiao Feng took out something and showed it to her.

【Low-grade Immortal Crystal】

Yu Cixue's expression froze.

"Can this help me find it? Oh… I don't want you to give it to me; I'll buy it myself, just asking where to get this thing." Xiao Feng said.

Yu Cixue looked at him in astonishment, saying: "I thought you were just showing off earlier, deliberately acting aloof to draw my interest, but I didn't expect you actually have some skills. This stuff isn't cheap—market price is 1.5 million Spirit Stones each, and it's rare to find, so what do you need it for?"

The system's claim that it's worth 1 million Divine Stones/Spirit Stones is based on energy value; actually, purchasing Immortal Crystal costs more than that.

Xiao Feng didn't want to explain too clearly, just replying: "Consumption."

Yu Cixue's expression turned odd; she inwardly thought: Only top-tier treasures consume Immortal Crystal—this guy hasn't even heard of it in over a year. Now he suddenly appears, with strength and wealth… could he have obtained some rare inheritance or something else?

But…… lately there haven't been any inheritance announcements in the region, nor have I heard of an announcement titled "One Sword Supreme".

What on earth is going on?

She felt a bit confused.

"How many do you need? If it's three or five, maybe I can help you get them. But if you need more, we'd have to scour every shop in the Primordial Imperial City to find them." Yu Cixue asked.

Xiao Feng replied: "I don't mind if it's a lot; I need as many as you can get. Hmm… I'll scrape together Spirit Stones as soon as possible; I've just run out lately."

If this female player could help him obtain a large amount of Immortal Crystal, it would indeed be worth making connections.

Yu Cixue furrowed her brows: "You mean you need a huge amount? Immortal Crystal is extremely rare; production is minuscule at this stage, and I can't get much either."

"Then do you know where it's produced? Even if it's difficult, I can figure something out." Xiao Feng quickly asked, following her lead.

She thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, there is a source of production."

"Really? Where?!" Xiao Feng exclaimed delightedly upon hearing.

Yu Cixue said: "Earlier I heard from a friend in the guild that there's a high-difficulty resource dungeon in Central Province; the description says clearing it yields Immortal Crystal, though it doesn't specify how much, but you can run it once a month."

"Where is the dungeon entrance? I'll go check it out later." Xiao Feng said happily, not expecting that having arrived less than an hour ago, he could already find a source of Immortal Crystal.

Although the yield might not be high, it's still good news!

"Let me ask, I forgot."

Yu Cixue opened her friend list to inquire.

After a moment, she replied: "It's the Heavenly Capital Sword Tomb in western Central Province, difficulty level 500, can accommodate 20 people, and there's no record of a successful clear yet."

Level 500 is already the highest difficulty in the Immortal-Divine Realm.

Xiao Feng opened the map and looked; sure enough, in western Central Province he found a place called "Twelve Heavenly Capitals," and the dungeon entrance must be there.

He then asked for the exact coordinates; Yu Cixue gave them directly, then asked: "Do you want to go challenge it? Just you alone?"

Xiao Feng smiled: "Just taking a look, not necessarily fighting. Thanks for the info."

"Hmm… alright, I thought you were going to fight now; good thing I have time to accompany you for a try." Yu Cixue lightly expressed her disappointment.

Her strength is also not bad—she's a level 381 Thunder Law Daoist with 1.5 billion HP, either her gear is exceptionally good or she has comprehended the laws.

With that strength, she'd be sufficient for the Primeval World; likely she only recently upgraded.

But Xiao Feng still doesn't really want to team up with others to run dungeons, because that easily exposes his strength.

He courteously said, "Thanks, let's fight together again if we get the chance. I have something to do, I'm leaving first." He then went straight upstairs.

"Ah, won't you add me as a friend?" Yu Cixue tossed over a friend request.

Xiao Feng neither accepted nor refused, just left her hanging, replying, "No, I'm deliberately acting aloof." He walked away smiling.

Adding a friend is definitely out of the question; the moment you add, it instantly displays "Xiao Feng", exposing his identity right there.

Although it's not certain what will happen, looking for Immortal Crystal will likely be unfavorable; this area probably has many people who will resist him.

So, if you can pretend, then keep pretending!
