This time, the elders of both sects failed to recognize each other immediately, and they separated into different sects and huddled together to discuss it in hushed tones.

Upon seeing this, Liu Changling and his three companions were overjoyed. They slightly raised their chins and looked at Ruan Mianmian and the other two with a strong sense of pride and provocation.

Fairy Yingxue and Lan Yaochi, who were used to being ruthless, thought they were going to lose this time too, and their hearts couldn't help but jump.

Only Ruan Mianmian remained calm and unperturbed.

She had touched Liu Changling's lamp earlier and indeed sensed a hint of its treasure, but it was nowhere near as good as her incense stick.

Therefore, she deduced that the treasures she had selected were all genuine treasures, and even if she lost in the second round, there were countless rounds to win them back. So, she was now completely at ease.

After a long while, through internal exchanges and then further exchanges between the two sects, they finally deciphered the true nature of the black stone—it was a stone stained with phoenix blood, but this phoenix was not a real phoenix, but a bird with some phoenix blood.

The phoenix is ​​a legendary divine bird that no one in the Three Thousand Realms has ever seen. The bird that most resembles the phoenix, the Huang, can stain stones red with its blood.

The blood of a phoenix-like bird, which is even less superior than the phoenix bird, turns black when spilled on a stone.

Liu Changling's piece of gold and stone was nourished by the blood of a phoenix.

Phoenix-like birds are considered precious, so Liu Changling didn't lose money on this; in fact, he made a profit.

However, it's not so outstanding when compared to other treasures.

The smug look on Liu Changling and the other three disappeared, but they remained relatively calm, remembering that Fairy Yingxue and Lan Yaochi were ruthless.

Ruan Mianmian ignored what they were thinking and took out a stone.

When Liu Changling and his three companions saw the stone, they wanted to laugh, but remembering how they had been humiliated earlier, they forced themselves to suppress their laughter.

The white-robed male cultivator said, "This stone looks quite ordinary. Why did Immortal Lord Yaochi specifically pick it out? Could it be that there's some treasure hidden inside?" He said this with a hint of sarcasm, clearly mocking Ruan Mianmian and the other two for picking up a stone.

Lan Yaochi and Fairy Yingxue didn't know why Ruan Mianmian chose this stone. They had questioned it at the time, but Ruan Mianmian insisted, so they didn't say anything more.

Hearing this, Lan Yaochi was convinced he was going to lose, but he wouldn't back down. He waved his fan and said with an air of elegance, "You should understand, how could we have lost to you in the first round? If you're not smart, then keep quiet, lest you make a fool of yourself."

"Well said," Fairy Yingxue clapped.

Ruan Mianmian nodded in agreement and clapped along.

The Fairy of the Rainbow took the stone and placed it on the table. She looked down at it for a few moments, then suddenly reached out and picked it up.

Unexpectedly, the others simultaneously reached out to grab it.

Everyone wanted to hold the stone in their hands and examine it carefully. In no time, they started to snatch it away, each trying to grab it from the other.

Lan Yaochi and Fairy Yingxue, who thought they were going to lose this round, were stunned. After regaining their senses, they looked intently at Ruan Mianmian: "Junior Sister, could it be that we will win this time?"

"It seems so." Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but laugh.

Several seniors were scrambling to grab it, so it must be something good.

Upon seeing this, Liu Changling and the others' faces immediately darkened.

After a brief struggle between the Fairy of the Rainbow and the others, who were unwilling to give in, they finally decided to place it in the middle so that everyone could continue their study together.

They whispered to each other for a moment, then the Fairy of Rainbows plucked a jade hairpin from her hair and scratched the surface of the stone.

The surface of the stone was scratched open, quickly revealing the exceptionally vibrant and fiery red gold inside.

Liu Changling, who was standing nearby, saw the texture of the stone and exclaimed, "Phoenix Stone!"

As soon as he called out, the three white-robed male cultivators looked over in astonishment. They saw that it was indeed made of the same material as theirs, but the color was red, and their faces turned ashen.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yingxue and Lan Yaochi were taken aback for a moment, then exchanged a glance and stood up at the same time, lighting a sparkling stick that looked like a firework at Ruan Mianmian: "Mianmian, you're amazing!"

Sect Leader Liu looked disappointed yet somewhat excited as he asked Ruan Mianmian, "Young friend, would you sell this Phoenix Bird Stone to this old man?"

Ruan Mianmian refused without hesitation: "Not for sale!"

She's so desperate for good stuff, how could she possibly sell it?

Fairy Changhong handed the Phoenix Stone to Ruan Mianmian, then looked at Sect Leader Liu: "In this second round, our Lingtian Sect will prevail. Does anyone have any objections?"

Although Han Haimen dared not, none of them objected.

Phoenix Bird Stone and Phoenix Bird-like Stone – you can tell which one is more precious just by looking at their names.

Then the third round began.

Fairy Yingxue and Lan Yaochi were no longer worried, their faces full of confidence in winning the competition. When they looked at Liu Changling and the other three, they subconsciously showed a hint of disdain.

Ruan Mianmian said she could sense treasures, and the First-Line Incense and Phoenix Stone that had just won the competition proved her words. This also proved that the remaining twenty-odd items were all treasures.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

All nine of Liu Changling's treasures were proven to be treasures, but each one of them lost.

The nine items that Ruan Mianmian took out were not only treasures, but also more precious and rarer than Liu Changling's.

To say that a strategy similar to Tian Ji's horse racing wouldn't be impossible, but the Han Hai Sect went to great lengths to exchange treasures for a match, and all they managed to do was evolve from not winning a single game to winning three smaller games. It only looked better on the surface, but in reality, they still lost badly.

Ruan Mianmian put the treasures she had chosen back into the storage space she had retrieved from the Federation, and looked at the treasures that Liu Changling and the others had offered with some regret.

If I had known, I would have included the treasure that would have been revealed in the bet.

However, the items in Liu Changling and the others' storage rings should be of even greater value.

Ruan Mianmian took out the Heavenly Contract and asked the elders of both sides to negotiate.

It was called a negotiation, but in reality, it was about making Lingtianmen demand debts from Hanhaimen.

The old fellows, including Headmaster Liu, wanted nothing more than to slap their disciples and sons away, but in front of Lingtian Sect, they held back and made Liu Changling and the others hand over all their collections.

Liu Changling and the other three were heartbroken to the point of suffocation, but they dared not act rashly and steal anything, because they had signed a Heavenly Contract. If they violated it today, every minor tribulation they would undergo in the future would be affected. At best, their cultivation would stagnate and never progress again; at worst, they would die and their cultivation would be destroyed.

They come from respectable backgrounds and have no reason to ruin their future for such material possessions.

Fairy Changhong erased the divine sense from the eight storage rings handed over by Liu Changling and the other three, and gave them to Ruan Mianmian: "You three discuss how to divide them."

The sect leader and his companions had suffered a crushing defeat today. They wanted to draw their swords and fight the people from Lingtian Sect at the mere sight of them, but for the sake of the Phoenix Bird Stone, they held back and tried to persuade Ruan Mianmian to sell it to them. After being refused by Ruan Mianmian, they left reluctantly.

Looking at the eight storage rings, Ruan Mianmian happily said to Fairy Yingxue and Lan Yaochi, "Let's split the prize!"

I'm so happy to have won so many things!

Fairy Yingxue didn't speak, but looked at Lan Yaochi.

Lan Yaochi then picked up the white-robed male cultivator's storage ring and said, "Mianmian contributed the most this time, I only need one."
