Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 243

The commotion quickly attracted many gazes from the surroundings. With so many gazes looking up, it was only natural that some knew Zhou Ling's identity. Hence, a startled cry immediately sounded from the various parts of the crowd.

"That's Young Master Zhou Ling, one of the Fire Xuan Region's Young Lords. Why is he here?"

"Who is that? How dare he argue with Young Master Zhou? And it seems like it's because of a woman?"

"No wonder. This woman is so beautiful. No wonder he caught the attention of Young Master Zhou."

"But it seems like this guy doesn't know what's good for him. How dare he clash with Young Master Zhou? He's really overestimating himself."

Surrounded by the discussions of the crowd, Zhou Ling's expression was calm. His cold eyes locked onto Yan Chutian. Then, the corner of his mouth slightly curved up, revealing an amused expression.

Very enticing. Someone actually dared to speak in front of him and buy the treasure he had in his hands. Did this guy really not take it seriously?

"You're really arrogant …!"

Amused, Zhou Ling narrowed her eyes and spoke softly. He did not hide the sharpness of his words at all.

It had to be said that Zhou Ling was born with good looks. His dark skin was not a burden. Instead, it formed a masculine beauty that was different from that of a white-skinned youth.

At this moment, he displayed his cold and arrogant demeanor, which immediately caused ripples in the hearts of the female cultivators around him. Hence, more voices sounded about Yan Chutian than before.

However, no matter what these voices were, Yan Chutian completely ignored them. He simply looked at Zhou Ling and said slowly, "I think Young Master Zhou hasn't talked about buying this Wood. In that case, why can't I buy it for Ningzhu?"

As he spoke, Yan Chutian looked at the stall owner and grabbed his Qiankun Bag as if he was about to take out a Spiritual Crystal.

However, Yan Chutian's seemingly calm appearance was only known in his heart how tense he was at the moment.

After all, he could not afford 700,000 Spiritual Crystals at the moment.

Almost immediately after Yan Chutian looked towards the owner of the stall, Zhou Ling shouted coldly.

"Eight hundred thousand spirit crystals."

Yan Chutian sighed in relief when he heard Zhou Ling's price. Although he had never met the young master of the Xuan Fire Region, there were indeed some similarities between the young master of this power.

For example, it was extremely difficult for them to tolerate someone stepping on their head, let alone in public!

Yan Chutian sighed in relief in his heart, but doubt appeared on his face. He turned around and asked, "What does Young Master Zhou mean by this?"

"Haha ... This Young Master did not bid earlier. Now, I will bid a higher price. I think the principle of 'highest bidder wins' will always work, right?"

Zhou Ling asked back. He then looked at the stall owner with a cold gaze. Seeing this, the shop owner nodded in agreement. Putting aside the fact that he did not dare to offend Zhou Ling because of his status, the saying 'highest bidder wins' was also very much in line with his intentions.

After bidding, Zhou Ling handed the Wood Dragon Pattern to Yan Ningzhu. He did not care about his reaction and forced it into his hands.

However, what was Yan Ningzhu's personality? He almost became hostile on the spot. He was unwilling to accept anything from Zhou Ling.

However, just as her beautiful face turned cold, a huge hand suddenly pressed down on her shoulder. Then, another hand held her small and beautiful hand. That's as intimate as possible.

Yan Chutian's sudden action immediately caused Yan Ningzhu's pretty face to redden. However, he quickly understood something and did not move. Instead, he quietly let Yan Chutian hug him.

Yan Ningzhu, who was in his arms, did not move. Yan Chutian knew that he understood his intentions, so he focused on dealing with Zhou Ling, who was looking at him coldly.

"Since the highest bidder wins, Young Master Zhou, I will bid 900,000 spirit crystals!"

Prices keep going up. In a short time, it exceeded 1,000,000 spirit crystals. This made countless female cultivators envious of Yan Ningzhu.

Of course, most of the female cultivators ridiculed Yan Ningzhu for being insensitive. The Xuan Fire Region's Young Master spent so much money on him, but he was still flirting with other men.

As for the male cultivators, they were just watching the show. He seemed to be the first to dare to compete with the Young Master of the Xuan Fire Region.

When the price was raised to 1,500,000 spirit crystals, Yan Chutian finally stopped talking. It seemed that 1,500,000 spirit crystals were the limit.

Seeing this, Zhou Ling immediately sneered. He looked at Yan Chutian, who was almost in Yan Ningzhu's arms, and said with narrowed eyes, "1,500,000 spirit crystals. It's okay if you spend it. After all, after all, in the end you are my woman!"

After saying these confident words and tossing the spirit crystal, Zhou Ling gracefully left the gazes of many people.

Only Yan Chutian, who looked embarrassed but was actually overjoyed, and Yan Ningzhu, who looked helpless, were left behind.

Ever since Zhou Ling left, the crowd naturally dispersed quickly. However, the faces of Yan Chutian and Yan Ningzhu had already spread. Clearly, Yan Chutian would become famous in the City because of this.

After the crowd dispersed, Qiu Yu and Luo Xue also walked over. Luo Xue's expression was as indifferent as before. However, Qiu Yu was jealous. However, he had already seen the Wood Dragon Pattern and was more or less guessing Yan Chutian's intentions.

Seeing the two women coming, Yan Chutian immediately said, "Let's find a quiet place."

A quarter of an hour later, in the living room while at a certain inn, the four of them gathered around a wooden table. Then, Yan Ningzhu placed the Dragon Pattern Wood in front of Yan Chutian's desk and said, "This is the Dragon Pattern Wood you want."

"Thank you, Miss Yan!"

Yan Chutian happily picked up the Dragon Pattern Wood. When he picked up the Wood Dragon Pattern, Yan Ningzhu inevitably said, "Zhou Ling might not realize it at this time, or she might have no choice but to do this. However, you have offended him. If you meet him in the Ancient ruins, you …"

"Miss Yan, you are too worried. First of all, regardless of today's events, if we meet, he won't let us go. So, how can we offend him?"

"Second, since the Young Master of the Xuan Fire Region dared to force you, as a friend, I can't just stand by and watch."

"Three, even if we meet in the ancient ruins, I'm not a submissive. If you want to bite me, you must be prepared to break your teeth!"

After three explanations, Yan Ningzhu had no more questions. Suddenly, he missed the relationship between him and Zhou Ling. Although it was obviously just acting, it was still much better than the man who called her Miss Yan whenever she called her that way.

Of course, Yan Ningzhu only dared to think about it. After all, he knew the true identity of Yan Chutian and Qiu Yu and roughly knew their relationship.

He knew if the woman did not exist, there might be a possibility between the two of them. However, that is completely impossible now.

After speaking for a long time, they made the same deal as when they entered the outskirts of the Star Valley. Then, the four of them left the inn.

On the way home, Yan Chutian was overjoyed. The harvest today was great. He had actually obtained the three Spiritual Potions he needed. He was only three Spiritual Potions away from the amount of Spiritual Potions Qiu Yu needed to cultivate the Cultivation Method, which was exactly half of the total.

However, Yan Chutian was not worried about gathering this Spiritual Potion. After all, even though these Spiritual Potions were extremely precious, they existed in the mortal world.

The only thing he was worried about was the Lotus Dao. He did not know if the Lotus Dao existed in the mortal world. He had never even heard of it until now. However, the Lotus Dao was an incredible treasure of heaven and earth to reshape the body. It's so necessary!

At the same time, Zhou Ling, who had returned to his luxurious residence, gradually realized what had happened. How could he not understand that Yan Chu was deliberately raising the price of the Dragon Pattern Wood? He has no intention of buying it. He just wanted to make Zhou Ling bleed.

However, even if Zhou Ling was angry, he believed that this matter was unavoidable. After all, he was the Young Master of the Fire Xuan Region. How could he be suppressed and humiliated in public?

Moreover, in the future, Yan Ningzhu would eventually become his woman, and Yan Chu would eventually be trampled under his feet and turned into blood and bones.

However, if Zhou Ling found out that Yan Chutian did not buy it by accident but did not have many spirit crystals, he would not be so calm.
