Chapter 82: The Real Spendthrift!
"Little brother, this one is yours!" Du Mu Lei handed a smaller wooden box to Wang Zi Qing beside him.
The prince took over the wooden box in his hand with some surprise, "I have one too? Thank you!"
Gao Tianming examined the wooden box in his hand carefully. The exterior was classic and elegant, and when he touched it, the texture was very deep, but he couldn't tell what kind of wood it was made of.
Duanmu Lei saw that Gao Tianming was just staring at the wooden box, without any intention of opening it, and felt a bit strange: "Tianming, aren't you going to see what gift I gave you?"
"Hehe, I'm not used to opening gifts directly, I'll take a look when I get back." Gao Tianming smiled and shook his head.
"Haha, okay, I believe the thing will satisfy you!" said Du Mu Lei with a smile.
Gao Tianming glanced at Duanmu Yu, who was holding his arm, and then looked again at Duanmu Xuehua's pale face. What made Gao Tianming a little strange was that Duanmu Xuehua's face was somewhat calm, as if he didn't feel angry about his own son being injured.
Gao Tianming took a glance at Duanmu Lei and said, "Lei big brother, since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
"Uh-huh!" Du Mu Lei nodded, not intending to retain Gao Tianming, and said: "Then you go first, the time of the Tianling Mountain Grand Competition is approaching, we will meet again soon!"
"Hmm!" Gao Tianming and Wang Ziqiang turned around and left together.
Looking at Gao Tianming walking away, Duanmu Xuehua turned to his own son, his face gradually becoming stern. "Yu, do you realize your mistake?"
Seeing his father's face, Du Mu Yu looked somewhat unwilling and said: "Dad, although I lost today, it was just because he happened to restrain our family's kung fu. If not, how could I be defeated by a postnatal second-order cultivator..."
"That's enough!" Du Mu Xuehua suddenly roared: "These are not excuses! You've always had your sights set on that person from the Dongfang family, which isn't wrong in itself. But you're too full of yourself, with only him in your eyes and no one else, always thinking you're second only to him among the younger generation. If it were a life-or-death struggle today, could you even save yourself?"
Duanmu Yu hugged his left arm, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, "If he remains in a transformed state all the time, I may not have a chance, but with this explosive increase in power, I don't believe he can keep it up for long."
"So you'd like to leave your fate in the hands of uncertain factors?" Du Mu Xuehua's tone seemed somewhat disappointed.
"Dad, I didn't mean it like that!"
"Alright, alright!" Duanmu Lei, who was standing on the side, saw that the two were about to get into another argument and quickly came over to mediate. "Younger brother, just say a few less words, Yu'er is still very excellent, his current abilities are only slightly lower than ours. We didn't have such achievements at his age." Upon hearing his uncle speak up for him, Duanmu Yu's face showed a hint of delight.
"But, Yu Er," Duanmu Lei suddenly turned his head towards Duanmu Yu, saying: "Do you know why you spoke provocatively today and we didn't stop you?" Duanmu Lei didn't wait for Duanmu Yu's response, directly saying: "Because we hope that you can grind off some of the sharp edges on your body, and hold back that burst of energy inside, in order to save it for the final explosion!"
Duanmu Yu sank into thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "Uncle, Father, these children understand!"
"And besides, the one who helped your father and me that night wasn't that post-heavenly quadruple expert, but the one you just fought with!" Duanmu Lei suddenly said.
"It's him!" Du Mu Yu exclaimed in shock.
……………
"Zi Hong, what do you think is inside this box?" Gao Tianming sat in Wang Zi Hong's car, placing the exquisite wooden box on his lap to examine it.
"It's not that complicated, just open it and take a look. By the way, help me open this wooden box too." Wang Ziqing threw the small wooden box in his hand to Gao Tianming.
"Alright! Then I'll take a look at what you've got!" Gao Tianming caught the small wooden box that had flown over and gently opened the lid.
"What's this?" Looking at the quietly lying milky white stone inside the wooden box, Gao Tianming said in confusion.
The prince turned his head and took a look at the stone in the box, couldn't help but roll his eyes, "It's Ling Shi! What Hanbaiyu, you illiterate!"
"Ah! This is indeed a Ling Stone!" Gao Tianming blinked his eyes somewhat awkwardly, "It kind of looks like Hanbai Jade... I didn't expect Big Brother Lei to actually give you a Ling Stone! Let me see what he gave me."
Gao Tianming handed the small wooden box to Wang Ziqing, and opened his own. As soon as he flipped it open, a ray of light shot out from the gap in the box.
"Zi Hong, this quality seems to be slightly better than yours!" Gao Tianming looked at the Ling Stone in the box with some doubt, and a layer of flowing light was actually circulating on the surface of the stone.
"What the heck!" Prince Wang Qiong saw the mid-grade spirit stone in Gao Tianming's box and couldn't help but curse, "How could the Duanmu family bear to give you a mid-grade spirit stone! What a waste!"
"Bankrupt?" Gao Tianming's eyes twitched involuntarily, "I'll be the one to go bankrupt then?"
"Of course! You know that spirit stones are also graded, with four levels: low, medium, high and top. The exchange rate between each level is 100 times, the medium-grade spirit stone in your hand can be exchanged for over 100 of those low-grade spirit stones I had earlier, you tell me if this is being extravagant or not!" Wang Ziqing said.
"Haha! That means they have a good eye for talent and know how much I'm worth!" Gao Tianming laughed triumphantly.
"A guy with no ambition, actually got bought off by just a mid-grade spirit stone!" Prince Wang said disdainfully, but his eyes secretly glanced at the spirit stone in Gao Tianming's hand several times, his tone somewhat sour.
"Hmm!" Ga Tianming took out the Ling Stone from the box and played with it for a bit, "Does this thing have no other use to us besides buying things?"
"That's not it!" Prince Wang thought for a moment and said, "If this palm-sized spirit stone is cut down and worn on an ordinary person's body, it will be beneficial to the ordinary person's body!"
"Really?" Tianming's eyes lit up for a moment, but then furrowed his brow again. "If the wearer is discovered by other warriors, isn't that dangerous?"
"Idiot, I didn't tell you to use a mid-grade spirit stone! That low-grade one would have been enough! A small thumb-sized low-grade spirit stone, and a martial artist still hasn't stooped to the point of attacking ordinary people for something like this!"
"Alright then, give me that low-grade one of yours and we'll split this mid-grade one. I'm being quite generous, aren't I?" said Gao Tianming with a smile.
The prince was taken aback for a moment, "That way you'll be at a disadvantage!"
"Haha, who's fooling who! We've been through so much together, it's settled then!" Gao Tianming said nonchalantly.
