C1721 Don't Make a Man into a Dead Man

When she heard this crazy noise, which sounded like she was peddling cabbages, Leng Wuyan felt dizzy. Her gaze towards Lin Bai was filled with adoration. The price of two thousand bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow was a frightening number. Leng Ying understood that for such a terrifying number, other than these hidden sects, even if he had saved up all his life, he would not have such accumulated wealth.

Even Lin Bai was a bit lost in thought. He had never expected the situation to escalate to such a degree that the stone he cut out would cause such a huge commotion. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this high-grade spirit stone was an insane stone.

However, Lin Bai also understood that the reason why these people were bidding so crazily was very simple. That was because the value of this high-grade spirit stone was within this category! Before the upheaval, there were no spirit stones in this world. The spirit stone in his hand was the first high-grade spirit stone that appeared in the hidden sects after the upheaval. How could these people not fight madly for it?!

"Fellow Daoist Mu, what are your considerations? If you are not satisfied with the price, can we talk more? " Seeing Lin Bai remain silent, Gu Taixu smiled lightly. He cupped his hands and asked warmly.

The crowd was flabbergasted as soon as the words left his mouth. No one had thought that the small mountain would be so rich and imposing. Not only were they willing to pay a sky-high price of two thousand bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow, they were even willing to raise the price to obtain this high-grade spirit stone. It seemed like they were determined to win this, but no one knew what Lin Bai was going to do.

For a moment, the gazes of everyone gathered onto Lin Bai, they wanted to see if he could resist the temptation of this astronomical figure!

Staring at Lin Bai, who was surrounded by so many people that it felt as though the stars were cupping the moon, Jiang Ling's eyes were about to spew fire. At the bottom of his eyes, a hint of panic could be seen. From start to finish, he had never thought that he would lose, much less lose so miserably. When he thought about the bet that he had made, he felt a wave of regret.

"Fellow Daoists, I'm truly sorry. For the time being, I don't have any plans to sell this Spirit Stone." Seeing this, Lin Bai cupped his hands together and said, "Let's talk about it later during the trade. If there is anything that I like, I might exchange it for some other items."

As his voice fell, a wave of sighs sounded out from within the plaza. Especially the most frenzied old man surnamed Qong, his expression was even a little dejected. However, they also knew that even though the prices they offered were astronomical, there was still a huge gap in their value compared to high-grade spirit stones. Not to mention Lin Bai, even if they were in his shoes, they wouldn't sell this high-grade spirit stone.

"We admit defeat. Since the results of our bet have come out, and everyone here is a witness, shouldn't we redeem the bet a bit?" After smiling apologetically at the crowd, a cold glint of light flickered in Lin Bai's eyes. He shifted his gaze to Jiang Ling and asked, "Young Sect Leader Jiang, are you sure you won't break your promise?"

The moment those words left his mouth, the entire crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Countless people had expressions of watching a good show. Earlier, they were too preoccupied with bidding on that high grade spirit stone that they almost forgot about Lin Bai and Jiang Ling's bet. Previously, Jiang Ling had been so overbearing and forceful. But now, Lin Bai had challenged him, this matter was definitely not going to end well.

But when they thought of this bet, everyone felt as though it was a gamble from a different world. One of them was the young master of the Spirit Spring Sect, who had astonishing accumulation of ores. He had picked the ones with the best performance; the other one was poor and had very little accumulation. He picked the ones with the lowest quality of ores, such as Wu Sha and even dog piss …

However, even in this kind of match, it seemed as if the strength of the two sides were completely on a completely different level. The weaker side had obtained victory, and was even able to easily crush the weaker side! This caused people to sigh with emotion. Cutting a rock was like gambling. Until the moment when one cut the rock down, you would never know if your current location was a heaven or a hell.

"That's right, young head Jiang said that we can't afford to lose, but I can see that your face is now dark and green. From the end of the gambling match until now, you haven't even said a single word. Are you sure you can't afford to lose?" Or have you forgotten what the bet is about? "

"If you forget, I can remind you once and help you to remember the contents of the bet. The loser had to pay the price of all the ores, and also had to pay for all the items they brought to the trade fair! "Of course, there's also the most important one, and it was personally added by Young Master Jiang. If you lose, you have to kneel down to the other party and kowtow and call them grandfather!" Leng Zhan smiled mischievously. However, this was different from the previous bickering he had. Now, this little girl had lifted her chest high, speaking with full of confidence.

"You …" After Jiang Ling heard this, he clenched his teeth and felt as if his heart was on fire. His expression was extremely embarrassed to the extreme.

"A wandering soul dares to act so rashly!" Hearing Leng Zhan's words, the Spirit Spring Sect member beside Jiang Ling immediately jumped out and scolded in a cold voice, "What sect is our Spirit Spring Sect? If the young sect master says so, he will naturally do as he says …"

"Scram!" But before he could finish his words, Jiang Ling had already sent a big slap towards him. His actions were quite vicious, and with a single slap, a few of the big teeth in the disciple's mouth flew out.

That disciple held his cheek with a wronged expression as he looked at Jiang Ling in shock. He really didn't understand why Jiang Ling would act this way.

When he saw this fellow's expression, Jiang Ling felt that he was about to explode in anger. When it was time to say that it was not good to do what you say, it wasn't wise to say it now. Could it be that he really wanted Jiang Ling to kneel in front of Lin Bai and kowtow and call him grandfather?

"Young leader Jiang, what are your considerations?" Looking at Jiang Ling's pale face, the smile on Lin Bai's face became even more dazzling. He said indifferently, "It can't be that you're saying that you're actually going to break the contract with my disciple, right? If that's the case, doesn't that mean I have to embarrass the Spirit Spring Sect in front of all these reclusive people?! "

As the sound of his voice faded, whispers rang out in the air. The gazes of the crowd were all filled with schadenfreude as they stared at Jiang Ling. As Lin Bai had said, if Jiang Ling broke his promise at this moment, then he would not only lose face for himself, but for the entire Spirit Spring Sect. If the agreement was broken, the disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect could forget about raising their heads in front of the disciples of the other hidden sects.

Everyone present understood this logic, so how could Jiang Ling not understand it? But he also knew that if he really knelt down in front of Lin Bai, then no matter what, he would no longer be able to raise his head in front of those people from the hidden sects. No matter where he went, there would probably be someone prodding his spine saying that he was the one who lost the bet, kneeling down and calling him grandfather!

"Take out everything we brought!" After a long period of silence, Jiang finally made a decision and said to the people around him.

When the disciple heard Jiang Ling's words, his face immediately revealed a reluctant expression. He tightly gripped the bag on his body and said, "Young Sect Master …"

"If I tell you to take it out, take it out. Do you really want others to think that my Spirit Spring Sect can't afford to lose?" Seeing the expression of this disciple, Jiang Ling coldly reprimanded him. Although his expression didn't change on the surface, his heart was also bleeding. He had brought a lot of things for the sake of the trade fair, and now that he had presented them to Lin Bai, he truly felt displeased!

However, he also understood that no matter how unhappy he was, he could only swallow his anger. Otherwise, even if they were to keep these things, the Spirit Spring Sect would lose face in front of the hidden world. They would never be able to stand up straight in the future.

"Forthright!" Young Sect Master Jiang is too generous! " Looking at the large and small bag that was handed to him, Lin Bai gestured for Leng Zhan Yan to take it. Immediately, a bright smile appeared on his face. With that incomparably sincere tone, he cupped his hands towards Jiang Ling and said:

"Young Sect Master Jiang, this is too embarrassing, I have let you spend so much!" But since you're so kind, I can't refuse you, so I can only be disrespectful! Don't worry, when I'm in seclusion in the future, I'll definitely mention this matter to many others. If you want to gamble, then you, Young Sect Master Jiang, have to come! "After losing, he didn't even take anything out of his mouth. He's a true man!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, everyone in the crowd couldn't help but laugh. Although they couldn't laugh out loud due to Jiang Ling's status as the young master of the Spirit Spring Sect, his shoulders still twitched uncontrollably. It had to be said that this Fellow Daoist Mu's mouth was truly too harsh. His words seemed to be complimenting Jiang Ling, but in reality, every word he said was the opposite of the truth. Moreover, he was mocking Jiang Ling for being bound to lose.

He glared at Lin Bai for a long time before gritting his teeth, turning his head to look at Gu Taixu. He cupped his hands towards Gu Taixu and said, "Mountain Lord Gu, I'll trouble you to send someone to the Spiritual Spring Sect after the conclusion of the trade meeting to pay for these ores. When that time comes, I will naturally compensate you with the amount I owe you."

"Thank you for your concern, Young Sect Master Jiang. With this little credibility, I believe in Young Sect Master Jiang." Hearing this, Gu Taixu smiled and nodded.

"Alright, then that's it." Hearing this, Jiang Ling nodded his head and cupped his hands together. After circling around the arena, he said in a clear voice, "Qingshan will not change, there will always be a long flow of green water. I, Jiang Ling, will bid my farewell. We will meet again if we have the chance in the future!"

Jiang Ling didn't even look at the scene once he finished speaking. He waved his hand and led the disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect outside. It was obvious that he was planning on leaving with a sad heart and not staying another minute longer.

He was the future successor of a great sect, and yet now he was as panicked as a stray dog. This luck was really messing with people! Seeing how Jiang Ling acted so strong, yet was unable to conceal his dejection, everyone in the crowd couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Young head Jiang, please hold your steps." But at this moment, Lin Bai suddenly spoke with a smile that was not a smile on his face. He said lightly, "I just said that Young Sect Master Jiang is someone who keeps his promises, did you forget that there is still a portion of the bet that you have to fulfill?"

"The one with the surname Mu, are you really going to kill him?!" Hearing these words, Jiang Ling slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with killing intent!
