Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

"Purple... a mid-grade purple spirit stone!"

Deacon Huang's pupils contracted sharply as he stared intently at the spirit stones scattered on the ground, his breathing rapid and incredulous.

He's started to stutter when he speaks.

Six hundred purple spirit stones are worth far more than a thousand ordinary mid-grade spirit stones.

He never dreamed that this young man would casually produce such an astronomical fortune!

"Now, do you still think I can't come up with two thousand mid-grade spirit stones?"

Qin Quan looked at him with a half-smile.

"Yes! Absolutely! I'm convinced!"

Deacon Huang nodded repeatedly, his eyes practically overflowing with greed.

"Can you tell me the address of the main headquarters?"

Qin Quan pressed closer and closer.

Deacon Huang immediately shut his mouth, his eyes darting around as he quickly calculated something in his mind.

First, trick him into giving you the spirit stone using the address, then cripple him on the spot.

Even if he refuses to pay, he can still crush Qin Quan.

He wants both people and money.

Upon realizing this, Deacon Huang's smile grew even colder, his mouth stretching almost to the back of his ears.

"make a deal!"

He suppressed his elation and feigned composure, saying:

"I can tell you the location of the main altar, but the two thousand spirit stones you mentioned must be paid!"

"I, Qin Quan, always keep my word and never lie."

"Come here, I'll tell you the exact location myself!"

Deacon Huang waved his hand, looking for an opportunity to make trouble.

"No."

Qin Quan immediately raised his hand to stop him, feigning vigilance and caution.

"I'm afraid you might suddenly launch a sneak attack. I'm just a junior, and I can't withstand your offensive. To be on the safe side, write down your address on a piece of paper, and we'll conduct the transaction from a safe distance."

These words reassured Steward Huang even more.

In his view, the more cautious and timid Qin Quan was, the easier it would be for him to manipulate him, and this sure-fire deal would definitely succeed!

Seeing this, Fifth Master Qin felt uneasy and quickly spoke up to remind him.

"Deacon Huang, be careful! This kid is meticulous and incredibly cunning. He's never one to suffer a loss, and he would never trade such a huge amount of spirit stones for information!"

But Deacon Huang was blinded by greed and wouldn't listen to a word of advice.

He immediately urged Qin Yi to bring paper and pen, and with a few quick swipes, a line of writing was clearly formed.

"The address is here."

Deacon Huang held the note in his hand and looked up at Qin Quan.

"Six hundred spirit stones are also here."

Qin Quan pointed to the spirit stones that were shining brightly all over the ground and spoke calmly.

"I will replenish the remaining 1,400 coins as soon as I verify the address is correct."

Without hesitation, Deacon Huang stepped forward.

"stop!"

Qin Quan shouted to stop him, his expression becoming increasingly serious.

"Don't come any closer! Who knows if you're just pretending to make a deal and then trying to ambush me!"

He raised his hand and pointed to Qin Yi, who was already frozen in fear to the side.

"Have him deliver it! Hand me the note, then take the spirit stones back."

"Why is it me again?"

Qin Yi froze on the spot, his face ashen.

His fear of Qin Quan was ingrained in his very bones. Now, facing this terrifying figure, his legs went weak, his heart pounded, and cold sweat poured down his face. He could barely stand.

However, Qin Quan and Steward Huang had the same idea.

If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either.

Of the four people on the field, Qin Yi was the weakest in cultivation, so this transaction could only be completed by him.

Clutching the slip of paper with the address written on it, Qin Yi's legs went weak, and he shuffled to Qin Quan.

Meeting Qin Quan's seemingly smiling eyes, a surge of fear welled up inside him, his throat tightened, and he stammered out a few words.

"Here...for you."

Qin Quan reached out and took the note, glancing down at it.

Northwest Heidu Mountain.

Without making a sound, he quickly entered the address into the Hidden Dragon backend.

The Hidden Dragon dedicated technical team immediately collaborated with high-altitude remote sensing satellites to compare data on mountain topography and regional dragon veins, completing a comprehensive verification in an instant.

The results popped up, showing a matching accuracy rate as high as 90%.

It is confirmed to be a genuine address.

A sinister smile flashed across Qin Quan's eyes.

"He was honest enough not to fool me."

Qin Yi, standing to the side, was like a lamb facing a hungry wolf, cowering in the corner, not daring to breathe.

It wasn't until he heard Qin Quan's voice that he snapped back to reality, suppressing the fear in his heart, and asked in a trembling voice.

"The...the spirit stones on the ground, can I...can I take them with me?"

"take away?"

Qin Quan raised an eyebrow, his tone suddenly turning cold.

"When did I say I let you take the spirit stones?"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all the mid-grade purple spirit stones on the ground instantly rose into the air and were put into his treasure bag.

Clean and spotless, not a single one left.

The color drained from Qin Yi's face. He hurriedly turned to look at Deacon Huang and cried out in a sob.

"Sir, he's gone back on his word!"

"You brat, how dare you!"

Deacon Huang witnessed the whole thing and was furious.

He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had never been so easily fooled by a junior.

He had already handed over the top-secret address of the Hidden Immortal Sect's headquarters, yet the other party dared to renege on the agreement in public and make a fool of him.

Today, he will take the spirit stones, and he will also take Qin Quan's head!

Boom!

Deacon Huang's spiritual energy exploded, and the overwhelming pressure of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator swept across the entire area, causing the ground bricks and stones to crack.

He moved with incredible speed, unleashing a devastating punch that hurtled straight at Qin Quan's face, leaving only a blur in his wake.

"Hmph! A mere half-step Golden Core cultivator dares to be so insolent in front of me."

Qin Quan's expression remained unchanged as he slowly raised his palm and grabbed at the air!

The sky trembled, and a giant golden spiritual hand, condensed to an extreme degree, suddenly took shape, firmly grasping the incoming, violent fist shadow.

The next second, he exerted his full force!

boom!

The powerful and domineering fist force was crushed, and the huge shockwave exploded in the opposite direction.

Deacon Huang was violently shaken, his blood and qi surged wildly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and he was forced to retreat uncontrollably, the ground beneath his feet collapsing with each step.

His pupils contracted sharply, and he growled in a low voice.

"Golden Core Realm?"

He cultivated diligently for nearly a century, exhausting countless resources, before he could barely touch the threshold of the half-step Golden Core stage.

This young man in front of me is only in his early twenties, yet he is already a Golden Core expert at such a young age!

The gap is so large that it is disheartening.

Qin Quan snorted coldly, his figure suddenly transforming into a streak of light, instantly appearing in front of Deacon Huang at such a speed that the latter had no time to react.

He then formed a sword shape with his fingers, gathering pure spiritual power at his fingertips, and struck out fiercely at Deacon Huang's vital dantian!

Bang!

A muffled thud followed.

Deacon Huang's protective spiritual energy shattered instantly, and his dantian was pierced through by a finger and completely destroyed.

His decades of hard-earned cultivation vanished like a flood, leaving him instantly limp and crippled, like a deflated balloon.

"Ah! My cultivation level!"

Excruciating pain swept through his entire body. Deacon Huang's face was contorted, his eyes bulged out, and blood vessels were filled with blood. His heart-wrenching screams echoed throughout the Qin family compound.

Qin Yi, who was standing to the side, witnessed the whole thing and was so frightened that his scalp tingled.

It was as if the scene of Qin Quan crippling his cultivation was playing out again, and the deep-seated fear made him tremble all over and his teeth chatter.

too frightening.

He's not human at all; he's a ruthless monster!
