Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

”The Sheep Head of the Golden Horned Spirit Sheep, I assume with the Crown Prince’s insight, you would not fail to recognize it. I wonder, could this item be worth one hundred thousand gold coins?”

With Yun Xiao’s opening remarks, and the words ”Golden Horned Spirit Sheep” from his mouth, the object in his hand seemed to gleam even more brilliantly with gold.

”Is it really a Golden Horned Spirit Sheep?”

From the moment that golden object appeared, Nie Qianqiu’s gaze was locked onto it, and he had his suspicions from the beginning; now, he was even more certain.

The item was naturally the one that Yun Xiao had acquired from the Treasure Pavilion in Xuri City. It was the first treasure he identified in the difficult-to-assess area, which had astonished many people, including Xu Hongzhuang, whom he had not yet met.

The Golden Horned Spirit Sheep is a rare and powerful Vein Demon, and the most precious part of it is the pair of Sheep Horns, supreme materials for forging divine weapons.

Generally speaking, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures of the Spiritual Rank Advanced level are valued around seventy to eighty thousand gold coins, or say one hundred thousand gold coins. If it were just a single Golden Horned Spirit Sheep Horn, it might not be worth one hundred thousand, but two are a different matter.

Furthermore, this Crown Prince of the Lingtian Empire has always been in need of a suitable weapon. Yun Xiao presenting the Sheep Horns of the Golden Horned Spirit Sheep was exactly to his taste, which is why he took interest immediately.

”Did you just say that if I don’t pass the assessment as a Low-Level Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master within three hours, it would count as your victory?”

Although Nie Qianqiu was extremely covetous of the Sheep Horns of the Golden Horned Spirit Sheep, fortunately, he hadn’t lost his reason. With so many eyes on him, he still had to maintain his dignity.

After reminding himself of the process for assessing a Low-Level Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master, Nie Qianqiu had actually decided to take up the bet. He just wanted to confirm it one last time.

What a joke, even he, the Crown Prince of the Empire, had spent a full day and night; this guy in front of him thinking he could pass the assessment in three hours was impossible.

Even with the precedent of Yun Xiao passing the first three stages of the assessment, this was a Spiritual Rank level, completely incomparably. If he could lose such a bet, wouldn’t this young fellow’s Meridian Refining Talent rival those monstrous geniuses in the Middle Three Realms?

”Exactly, that’s what I mean!”

A glint of conspiracy flashed through Yun Xiao’s eyes as he confirmed his statement, then added, ”So does that mean the Crown Prince is willing to lend me fifty thousand gold coins so I can take the assessment?”

”Very well, I, the Crown Prince, accept this bet!”

Pleased with the answer he wanted, Nie Qianqiu was delighted and then turned to a girl named Xiao Qiu, saying, ”Record the fifty thousand gold coins under my account. We’ll settle it together later!”

Xiao Qiu was still stunned. Just a moment ago, she worried about how Yun Xiao, lacking money, was going to participate in the assessment, and now in the blink of an eye, it was resolved.

Given the Crown Prince’s status, taking account was obviously not an issue. Xiao Qiu nodded and turned to say, ”Yun Xiao, you may enter now!”

Yun Xiao glanced faintly at Nie Qianqiu, and as he turned away, he said with a faint trace of sarcasm, ”It seems that the Crown Prince indeed didn’t bring enough money and can only put it on the tab!”

With that comment, Nie Qianqiu felt a burning sensation on his face, cursing in his heart that this young man was so ignorant of the times, and he must find an opportunity to teach him a lesson. However, all of that would have to wait until after he obtained that Golden Horned Spirit Sheep Horn.

As for Mu Yun, she had already taken out an hourglass from her Waist Storage, set it to three hours, and now just waited for the last grain of sand in the upper part of the hourglass to fall, marking the moment when the Crown Prince would claim victory in the bet.

...

Having entered the room as he wished, Yun Xiao no longer cared about the thoughts of the others outside. In his view, passing a Low-Level Spiritual Rank Meridian Refining Master assessment in three hours was more than enough time.
