When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

Lin Xuan opened the money pouch with a puzzled look, only to find that it contained thirteen light purple crystals.

This crystal is crystal clear, with what appears to be a light purple liquid flowing inside, or wisps of purple smoke, making it very beautiful.

"Imperial Crystal?!" Lin Xuan was taken aback.

Some powerful beings at the Immortal Emperor level leave their physical bodies in the mortal realm when they ascend to immortality.

These bodies sank into the ground over time, gradually decomposed, and turned into crystals.

These crystals contain the lifelong cultivation of those who have ascended to immortality, and their energy is extremely pure.

Therefore, this Imperial Crystal is extremely rare and expensive, with each kilogram worth ten thousand taels of gold.

This bag of imperial crystals weighed a full thirty catties, which means that Lin Xuan sold the pills for three hundred thousand taels of gold this time.

"There are too few soul cultivators in Qingzhou City, and their schools are unpopular, so we didn't sell many," Ouyang Chengdu said apologetically with a smile.

Lin Xuan shook his head and said, "Selling this many has already exceeded my expectations."

Ouyang Chengdu said, "If they are martial arts pills, given the quality of the five bottles that Young Master Lin made, they could easily sell for a million taels of silver."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "You take your cut, and I'll take the rest."

Ouyang Chengdu said, "I've already taken my cut; this belongs to you, Young Master Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan no longer stood on ceremony and directly pocketed the Emperor Crystal.

"Oh, by the way, Young Master Lin mentioned wanting to buy martial arts pills. I have a few regular customers here. Although they only sell first and second-grade pills, the prices are very reasonable," Ouyang Chengdu said.

Lin Xuan asked, "What kind of pill? What's the price?"

Ouyang Chengdu took out a list and pushed it in front of Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan glanced at them and said, "I want all of these: the Qi-Strengthening Pill, the Essence-Locking Pill, and the Overlord Golden Pill."

Ouyang Chengdu said, "These are all pills to consolidate cultivation and raise the upper limit. Young Master Lin is about to break through his realm."

Lin Xuan smiled but remained silent.

Ouyang Chengdu placed the three porcelain vases on the table and said, "A total of two hundred thousand taels, just give me nine pieces of Imperial Crystals."

Lin Xuan said helplessly, "It has to be you businessmen, you're all so cunning. I just took thirteen Emperor Crystals from you, and now you want nine back from me."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan handed the Imperial Crystal to Ouyang Chengdu.

Ouyang Chengdu smiled and pushed the three porcelain bottles towards Lin Xuan, saying, "No merchant is without guile, but I have been extremely sincere to Young Master Lin."

Lin Xuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "If I weren't burdened with heavy responsibilities, I would also like to go into business."

Ouyang Chengdu smiled, clasped his hands in return, and said, "If Young Master Lin wishes to engage in business, Chengdu will certainly impart all my knowledge to him."

After exchanging pleasantries, Lin Xuan revealed the main purpose of his visit.

"Lord Ouyang, how much do you know about the Supreme Bone?" Lin Xuan asked.

"Supreme Bone?" Ouyang Chengdu frowned. "Shouldn't this Young Master Lin know more about this than I do? It's rumored that Prince Lin Jiangxian of Zhenbei was born with double pupils and possesses the Supreme Bone. He is exceptionally talented and unparalleled in the world. As the son of Prince Lin, why would you ask me such a question?"

Lin Xuan said, "I never cultivated while my father was alive. It was only after my father passed away that I suddenly realized the truth."

"I had not discussed cultivation with my late father before, so I did not know anything about the Supreme Bone."

Ouyang Chengdu stood up, walked towards the inner room, and said, "Young Master Lin, please wait a moment."

He went into the inner room and searched for a while before coming out with a yellowed ancient book.

Ouyang Chengdu sat back down, gently brushed off the dust, coughed a few times while covering his mouth and nose, and said, "I remember there is a record about the Supreme Bone in this ancient book."

As he spoke, Ouyang Chengdu opened the ancient book.

Lin Xuan leaned over and, together with Ouyang Chengdu, flipped through the document for a while, finally finding the description of the Supreme Bone.

"There are many types of Supreme Bones. Most Supreme Bones come with special properties. For example, some Supreme Bones can grant the user the ability to control flames..." Ouyang Chengdu explained.

Lin Xuan asked, "What about the supreme bone passed down through the family?"

"Family inheritance?" Ouyang Chengdu frowned and continued flipping through the pages. "There's not much record of that."

"What kind of book is this?" Lin Xuan asked.

"It records the various unique items of the True Martial Continent," Ouyang Chengdu said.

Lin Xuan said, "Perhaps, supreme bones of the inherited type are not included here, and we need to look them up in other books?"

Ouyang Chengdu said, "I don't know about that. If Young Master Lin asks this, he must have received the inheritance of the Supreme Bone."

"Since Young Master Lin already possesses the Supreme Bone, he should know better than I what changes have occurred in his body."

Lin Xuan said, "That's true, but I don't know exactly how many special characteristics this family's supreme bone has."

Ouyang Chengdu said, "Generally speaking, a Supreme Bone only has one characteristic, unless your family's Supreme Bone has several sections."

Lin Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll go back and ask. Thank you."

"Your Highness Lin, you flatter me." Ouyang Chengdu clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Lin Xuan clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

However, just as Lin Xuan was about to leave, Ouyang Chengdu called out to him.

"Young Master Lin, I heard you're going to participate in the martial arts competition. As a friend, I'd like to offer you some advice." Ouyang Chengdu looked at Lin Xuan seriously, "Don't go."

"Heh, you also think I won't win?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ouyang Chengdu said, "This is not a question of whether we win or lose."

If you lose, you'll be used as a stepping stone; if you win, you'll be given a death warrant.

"Whether you win or lose, it won't do you any good. Since it won't benefit you, why do it?"

Lin Xuan smiled.

As expected of a businessman, he always considers the pros and cons when making decisions.

But for Lin Xuan, some things are far more important than weighing the pros and cons.

In his past life, he did nothing, watching his family perish and his untouched wife have sex with Xiao Zhan right in front of him.

In this life, he must change all of this.

He even wanted to overthrow this rotten dynasty.

"Thank you for the reminder, Master Ouyang, but for me, some things are more important than the pros and cons," Lin Xuan said.

Ouyang Chengdu shook his head, indicating his incomprehension, and said, "I don't understand. What in this world is more important than advantages and disadvantages? Why do something that brings no benefit?"

Lin Xuan said, "This is the path I chose, and I will walk it to the end even if I have to crawl."

"Besides, how do you know I'll definitely die if I win?"

Ouyang Chengdu gave a bitter smile, but unable to explain directly, he hinted, "The will of Heaven cannot be defied."

"Even the true heaven can be reversed, let alone a false heaven," Lin Xuan said.

Ouyang Chengdu was terrified. He rushed towards Lin Xuan, quickly covered his mouth, and exclaimed in alarm, "Are you crazy? Are you trying to rebel?"

Seeing how nervous Ouyang Chengdu was, Lin Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that Master Ouyang truly considers me a friend."

"You're crazy," Ouyang Chengdu said, still shaken.

Lin Xuan turned around, opened the door, waved his hand, and said, "If one day I achieve my lofty ambitions, I will dare to laugh at the heavens for not being a true man. Lord Ouyang, we shall wait and see."
