Open up and break into another world

Wen Man and Wen Shuai both watched nervously.

“It’s me, it must be me!” Wen Man’s eyes burned with fervor.

Although Wen Man had suffered setbacks today, and even in the birthday celebration battles, he hadn't won a single match due to Xu Ming's disruptions; however, the advantages he had accumulated over the years couldn't just disappear. Moreover, Wen Man's greatest reliance was the Liang family of the Man Huang Sect—the Liang family had publicly declared their support for Wen Man and even sent Envoy Zhao.

“Father wouldn't dare to oppose the flourishing Liang family, so the throne must be mine!”

Wen Shuai's eyes also burned with fervor.

However, Wen Shuai was also very aware: “Compared to the eldest brother, I am still at a disadvantage! However, thanks to the help of Brother Xu Ming, otherwise, my disadvantage would be even greater.”

Xu Ming had indeed helped Wen Shuai greatly.

Without Xu Ming's Illusory Sea Demonic Insects, it would have been difficult for Elder Du to break through to the Perfect Stage of the Xiantian Realm.

Without Xu Ming's Wisdom Stone, Wen Shuai's birthday gift wouldn't have been able to crush the eldest prince.

Without Xu Ming's arrogant and domineering performance in the birthday celebration battles, the eldest prince's side wouldn't have been completely defeated, even to the point where they didn't dare to send anyone to fight later.

Without…

In addition, Wen Shuai wasn't stupid. He immediately realized why Elder Yun Qi was willing to assist him—for the Wisdom Stone!

The Wisdom Stone had the effect of increasing mental strength, and Elder Yun Qi, a Xiantian Realm martial artist whose lifespan was approaching its end, would definitely want it! With more mental strength, Elder Yun Qi's chances of breaking through to the Ningdan Realm would be greater; once he stepped into the Ningdan Realm, Elder Yun Qi would be able to temporarily escape the predicament of his impending death.

Furthermore, Wen Shuai's heart stirred, and he thought of why Elder Yun Qi would accept Quan Xin as a disciple—could it also be to show goodwill to Xu Ming?

“My brother Xu Ming is really too awesome!”

At this time, Xu Ming, Elder Du, and others were all hoping for Wen Shuai!

Envoy Zhao stared at Wen Mantuo with a gloomy face, with a threatening expression that seemed to say, “You will bear the consequences if I am not satisfied.”

All the forces were also looking forward to the final result, because it would directly determine their future rise and fall—making the wrong choice in the struggle for the throne was no joke.

Finally, Wen Mantuo announced his choice: “Wen Shuai!”

Wen Shuai!

Yes, it was Wen Shuai!

“Me?” Wen Shuai was stunned for a moment, unable to believe it, “Is it really me?”

The sudden joy almost overwhelmed Wen Shuai.

“What!?”

In the end, Envoy Zhao was just an ordinary Perfect Stage Xiantian Realm martial artist; he was just from the Man Huang Sect, so his status was more transcendent.

“Hmph!” Envoy Zhao flicked his sleeves and left.

“Wen Mantuo!” At this time, Gu Hanmo said, “You will be glad for your choice today!”

Gu Hanmo's words naturally represented the Gu family.

“I hope so!”

With the ownership of the throne decided, the birthday celebration naturally came to an end.

Next, there was still a lot of handover work to be done between Wen Mantuo and Wen Shuai, so the guests consciously dispersed.

“Little Brother Xu Ming!” Elder Yun Qi walked over at some point.

“Elder Yun Qi!” Xu Ming shouted without any politeness.

“Little Brother Xu Ming, I have come this time to take away my disciple, Quan Xin.”

“Please!” Xu Ming didn't show any intention of retaining or saying goodbye.

Quan Xin couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xu Ming, thinking to herself: “I am also a well-known beauty in Yunqi City, okay? Are you not even a little tempted by me?”

Tempted?

Xu Ming was not an animal that thinks with his lower body.

If he and Quan Xin had enough time to interact with each other, then Xu Ming might really be tempted; but now, this condition was obviously not met, and Xu Ming had no temptation to speak of.

“Um…cough cough!” Elder Yun Qi coughed twice and said, “Little Brother Xu Ming, there is one more thing I want to ask.”

“Please speak!” Xu Ming had actually guessed Elder Yun Qi's intention.

“Cough cough, let's talk in private. Little Brother Xu Ming, do you still have that blue strange stone on hand?” Elder Yun Qi called him "Little Brother" very warmly.

As expected, he came for the Wisdom Stone.

Of course, Xu Ming couldn't reveal that the Wisdom Stone was in his possession; in his hands, it was just a thing worth 10,000 gold, not precious at all. Of course, he had to create an illusion that this treasure was extremely rare.

“I'm sorry, Elder Yun Qi, I don't have any more of this blue strange stone myself!”

No more?

Elder Yun Qi didn't believe it—how could there be no more? If there really were no more, how could you have taken out five blue strange stones and given them to Wen Shuai as a birthday gift!

If there really were no more, you would definitely have sent fewer!

Elder Yun Qi became anxious.

In fact, before Elder Yun Qi approached Xu Ming, he had already communicated with Wen Mantuo privately. After hearing that the blue strange stone was indeed effective, he originally wanted to ask Wen Mantuo to share two of them; but how could Wen Mantuo share such a treasure with others, so he asked Elder Yun Qi to find Xu Ming himself.

“Little Brother Xu Ming, please help me, I am willing to buy it with a lot of money!”

“A lot of money?” Xu Ming's sly eyes couldn't help but glance at Elder Yun Qi's storage ring.

…

“Elder Yun Qi, take care!”

After sending away Elder Yun Qi and Quan Xin, Xu Ming was simply overjoyed: “Elder Yun Qi is indeed a well-known senior in the Fei Yun Kingdom, and he is indeed very rich!”

In the end, under Elder Yun Qi's sincere request, Xu Ming reluctantly sold Elder Yun Qi ten Wisdom Stones at a price of “eighty low-grade Xuan stones” each.

Xu Ming originally wanted to be even more ruthless, but his “conscience” didn't allow him to be more ruthless—ten Wisdom Stones, Xu Ming bought from the Artifact Shop, which was only 10,000 Level-1 Hang Points, equivalent to the value of one low-grade Xuan stone. And Xu Ming sold ten for eight hundred low-grade Xuan stones to Elder Yun Qi, which was really ruthless… beyond words!

No wonder, when Xu Ming watched Elder Yun Qi leave, he was shouting in his heart: “Please come and patronize often in the future!”

Eight hundred times the profit, this business was done…

“It's not called ruthless! I'm the only one who sells this Wisdom Stone; there are no other branches. I call this… a monopoly business! It's justified to be expensive!”

Xu Ming felt that he could consider occasionally selling Wisdom Stones in the future to earn some extra money. However, it couldn't be too frequent; he had to let others know—this blue strange stone was very rare and precious!
