Chapter 168 Difficulties

Ye Shi grabbed Mu Chen's hand excitedly, and Mu Chen felt that his hand was a little painful because of Ye Shi's grip.

"Did you make your money back?" Ye Shi asked with bright eyes.

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Yes! Yes! I have made my money back, I have made my money back."

Although the previous dozen or so source stones were all broken, but since such a magic weapon was cut out, it can be considered a profit. Looking at the spiritual light emitted by this hammer, it is not inferior to that of a sixth-level magic weapon!

"Great, I got my money back." Ye Shi said happily.

"Not only did I make back my investment, I also made a lot of money. I told you before, Shi Tou, you have good vision." Mu Chen said with a faint smile.

Ye Shi clenched his fists and thought to himself: Whatever Zhuang Yu can do, he can do too.

Ye Shi looked at the hammer on the ground with sparkling eyes and reached out to move it.

"Ah!" Ye Shi's face flushed and his heart sank. It was too heavy and he couldn't pull it out!

Mu Chen looked at Ye Shi, frowned, and said, "Are you okay?"

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "It's okay." He couldn't pull it out, what should he do? He couldn't pull it out, and he couldn't take it away. He had discovered a rare treasure, but couldn't carry it with him. It couldn't be that tragic, could it?

Mu Chen reached out to pull out the hammer, but it was useless. Mu Chen couldn't help but frowned and thought to himself: What the hell is this thing? It's so heavy.

"Two young men, since you can't lift it, why don't you sell this stone hammer to our gambling stone shop? I won't let you suffer a loss. How about buying it for 50 million?" A middle-aged man in brocade clothes walked out.

Ye Shi shook his head and said, "That won't work."

Fifty million, you want to buy a weapon that he can't even pull out? You're dreaming. How can he think he has never seen a Yuanshi? Such a heavy hammer must cost at least five hundred million.

Ye Shi didn't have much experience, but he knew that what he had in his hands was definitely worth more than 50 million.

There are few sixth-level refining materials in this world, and sixth-level refiners are also rare. It is very difficult for a Martial Emperor to find a weapon that suits him. I don’t know what level the magic weapon in his hand is, but it can definitely be compared to a sixth-level magic weapon. He wants to buy it for 50 million. Does he think he is a fool?

The middle-aged man looked at Ye Shi, frowned, and said earnestly: "Brother, fifty million is not a small amount. People are never satisfied. We should know when to stop and be content."

Mu Chen clenched his fists and looked at the middle-aged man. A murderous look flashed through his mind. Was the other party trying to force him to buy or sell?

Ye Shi frowned. The other party's tone was calm, but it also had a sinister quality that made people feel uncomfortable.

"Fifty million is too little, not even enough to fill the gaps in my teeth." Ye Shi muttered unhappily.

The pressure from the middle-aged man leaked out silently.

Feeling the spiritual power released by the middle-aged man, Ye Shi immediately jumped up in anger and asked, "What do you want to do? Are you trying to be a hooligan?"

Mu Chen frowned. This was a powerful Martial King. Being inferior to others in strength was a problem!

The middle-aged man smiled, restrained his aura, put his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Since you two don't plan to sell it, then take the hammer away quickly."

Mu Chen clearly sensed the ill intention in the middle-aged man's tone.

The other party didn't dare to take action in the gambling stone field, but once he left the gambling stone field, he would certainly act without restraint.

Mu Chen noticed that not only the owner of the gambling stone field, but also many people around had their eyes fixed on them, and there was a hint of greed in the eyes of many of them.

Mu Chen tried to put the hammer into the space ring, but unfortunately, he failed.

When the others saw Mu Chen's actions, they immediately started whispering to each other.

"This should be an ancient cultivator's weapon. Many ancient cultivators' weapons cannot be stored in their space rings and can only be carried with them."

Ye Shi used all his strength to drag the stone hammer. Unexpectedly, the stone hammer was actually dragged away. Unfortunately, Ye Shi only dragged it a little bit despite his best efforts.

The middle-aged man saw Ye Shi's actions and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"You two, take your things away quickly. If you insist on leaving them in the gambling house, I will have to keep them for you for the time being." The middle-aged man urged coldly.

Ye Shi's face suddenly turned pale and blue.

"Little Stone, I told you to eat more and gain more strength, but you didn't listen. Now you don't have enough strength at the critical moment." Xiong Wei's voice came in.

When Ye Shi saw Xiong Wei, he immediately became energetic. If he didn't have enough strength, even if he got a treasure, he would still be controlled by others. It was really... infuriating.

Ye Shi looked at Xiong Wei with a look of joy on his face. For the first time, Ye Shi felt that Xiong Wei's figure was so tall.

Mu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xiong Wei come in.

As soon as Ye Shi swung the hammer, Muchen crushed the communication talisman and sent a message to Xiong Wei. At the critical moment, Xiong Wei finally showed up.

Xiong Wei walked to Ye Shi and picked up the giant hammer.

Ye Shi saw Xiong Wei lift the giant hammer with ease, and his eyes suddenly flashed with admiration. "Senior, you are so amazing!"

"Of course. It's still a long way to go before you reach my level."

Ye Shi was here, his face full of admiration, but Xiong Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiong Wei thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn't get ahead of myself and used all my strength to lift this huge hammer, otherwise I would have capsized in the ditch. This broken hammer is really heavy! However, it can be seen that this hammer is indeed extraordinary.

When the people around saw Xiong Wei appear, they immediately restrained their expressions.

"Little Stone, you're so lucky!" Ji Feiyan looked at Ye Shi and smiled. She had also gambled on stones before, but she had bet 30 million and won nothing, so Ji Feiyan had no choice but to give up.

Ye Shi smiled proudly and said, "Yeah! I think I'm lucky too."

"But, Senior Xiong Wei." The gambling house owner looked at Xiong Wei respectfully.

"That's right." Xiong Wei held his head high and chest out, looking down coldly at the gambling owner. The pressure from his body made the people in the gambling house feel a little breathless.

"I have long heard of your name, senior. It really brings honor to our humble shop that you are here!" the gambling house owner said respectfully.

Ye Shi lowered his head, looking at Xiong Wei with a strange look in his eyes. The gambling house owner was always bossing them around, but when he saw Xiong Wei, he was like a mouse seeing a cat. Really... I didn't realize Xiong Wei was so powerful! Ye Shi couldn't help but think to himself.

Xiong Wei looked at Ye Shi with some pride.

The beautiful receptionist looked at Xiong Wei, then at Muchen, and a flash of understanding came into her mind.

The competition between the students of Mingyue Academy and Shengxing Academy caused a lot of controversy. In the competition, Mu Chen stood out and became the topic of conversation for many people.

Muchen became famous because of his talent and wealth.

By relying on his own efforts, starting from scratch and spending money like water, Mu Chen has become an idol for young cultivators.

The beautiful receptionist looked at Mu Chen and thought to herself: It is rumored that Mu Chen is willing to spend money, especially on his fiancée Ye Shi, and it is indeed true!

"Senior, he wants to spend 50 million to buy this hammer." Ye Shi complained, pointing at the owner of the gambling stone shop.

If Xiong Wei hadn't shown up, the owner of the gambling stone shop would probably resort to forced buying and selling.

Xiong Wei frowned and stared coldly at the owner of the gambling stone shop, saying, "Why, are you bullying my nephew because he doesn't know how to do things?"

"It's just a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." The owner of the gambling stone shop lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

Ye Shi looked at the boss of the gambling stone shop with a humble and submissive look, and felt a little proud.

Xiong Wei picked up the heavy hammer and left the gambling stone shop with Mu Chen and Ye Shi in a majestic manner.

As soon as the few people left, the people who were watching the fun immediately started talking.

"The young man who opened the spiritual weapon is Ye Shi! He's so young, yet he's already a powerful martial spirit master."

"What kind of fate is this! Not only is he talented, but he's also so lucky."

"Kids these days are all so wealthy and powerful, they're the envy of everyone else!"

"That spiritual energy is so rich, it must be worth 700 to 800 million."

“…………”

"Senior, look at the heavy hammer, how many Yuanshi can it be sold for?" Ye Shi approached Ji Feiyan and asked.

Ji Feiyan touched his chin and thought for a moment, "At least 500 million."

Ye Shi immediately approached Xiong Wei and said, "Senior, I'll sell it to you for five hundred million."

Ye Shi gritted his teeth secretly. This hammer was good, but it was too heavy. He couldn't even lift it, let alone use it to fight the enemy. This broken hammer couldn't even be stored in the space ring.

"Sell it to me!" Xiong Wei said in surprise.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yeah! Five hundred million can't buy the Frozen Jade anyway. Why don't you buy this hammer? With it, you can try to kill level six monsters! Maybe you can even earn enough Yuanshi to buy the Frozen Jade."

Xiong Wei frowned. He couldn't tell which one was more important, the ice chalcedony or the stone hammer in his hand. One could increase the level, and the other could increase the combat power.

Ji Feiyan chuckled and said, "Little Stone, you are trying to squeeze your Senior Bear dry and force him to risk his life!"

"If he doesn't want to sell his life, he can sell his body!" Ye Shi said with his eyes blinking.

Xiong Wei said angrily: "Go away, what's the value of selling your body?"

Ji Feiyan played with Xiong Wei's arm in a somewhat annoyed manner and said, "Awei, do you think the price I offered is too low? I have no choice, I'm short of money! But don't worry, if you marry me, I will definitely work hard to make money to support you."

Xiong Wei rolled his eyes. If he really agreed to Ji Feiyan, Ji Feiyan would order him around every day, and then he would be forced to work hard to make money every day.

Xiong Wei took out the Yuanshi card and handed it to Ye Shi, saying, "Five hundred million."

Mu Chen took the Yuanshi card and transferred 100 million to Ye Shi's card. "Master, I'll take 100 million from you first. As for the remaining 400 million, you can owe it to me first and pay it back later."

Xiong Wei rolled his eyes and thought to himself: My own apprentice is such an idiot, shouldn't I just say that I'll take 100 million from you and let you go of the other 400 million?

Ye Shi watched Mu Chen's actions and did not stop him. He just said seriously: "Senior, remember to write us an IOU! There are still 400 million left, you have to pay it back as soon as possible!"

Xiong Wei: “…”

"What? Are you afraid that I will default on my debt?" Xiong Wei asked Ye Shi unhappily, glaring at him.

Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"

Xiong Wei was furious at Ye Shi's matter-of-fact "Yeah!"

"I am the Martial Emperor! Would I deny you my debt?" Xiong Wei said unhappily.

Ye Shi bit his lip and said, "That's hard to say."

Xiong Wei: “…”

Xiong Wei walked forward angrily. Ji Feiyan blinked and couldn't help asking, "Awei, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Ye Shi blinked and said, "Senior, you must be careful not to get killed by the monster."

Xiong Wei glared at Ye Shi unhappily and said, "If I'm killed by a monster, I won't be able to return the Yuan Stone, right?"

Ye Shi blinked and thought to himself: Yes!

Mu Chen smiled and said, "Master, Shitou, I'm really worried about your safety."

Xiong Wei snorted coldly in annoyance. Ye Shi was not worried about his safety at all. He was only worried about the Yuanshi.

The news that Ye Shi offered a magic weapon at a sky-high price spread like wildfire, and the news that Zhuang Yu offered the Mingxin Jade was quickly overshadowed.

Ye Shi became a celebrity for a while, and a group of gamblers, stimulated by Ye Shi, became restless again.

Zhuang Yu, who couldn't help but subconsciously pay attention to the news about Mu Chen and Ye Shi, naturally received the news as well. The moment he heard the news, Zhuang Yu couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable hatred towards Ye Shi in his heart.
