A gift returned ten thousandfold: I am the number one licker in all realms!

Anyone with half a brain could tell that what the other party wanted wasn't just this one Flame Stone. They wanted to force Luo Xing to give up all of the Flame Stones!

Ha ha.

If I let you get your way, would I still be myself?

This is the only Flame Stone. You can't keep it or not; there's no way you can get it for free.

"Patriarch Zhao, you are joking."

"There aren't any other Flame Stones left, this is all we have now."

"You have no idea how perilous the situation was back then. It was incredibly lucky that we managed to obtain even this small piece of the Flame Stone."

And let's not even mention anything else.

"What's wrong, Patriarch Zhao? Do you think this small piece of Flame Stone isn't enough? What about the spaceship?"

Zhao Qingtian was stunned for a moment, pondering whether what Luo Xing had just said was true or false.

If he were to so easily believe the other party, then he, Zhao Qingtian, would not be Zhao Qingtian, but a good-for-nothing.

Zhao Qingtian squinted at the other person.

This kid seems quite shrewd. I thought he was a fool, but it turns out he's quite calculating. It seems getting his treasure so easily won't be so simple.

"Young man, you're joking."

"Everyone knows that this Flame Stone could not possibly be just a small piece; it must be at least the size of a millstone."

"And the small piece you just showed me is at most the size of a bowl."

“In Black Soil City, anyone would know that you were just joking, young man.”

"Young brother, what I just said is certainly enough to use that Flame Stone on the spaceship, but who doesn't want a treasure? Don't you think so, young brother?"

"Here's what we'll do. Just name a price, and my Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce will provide whatever you need, no matter how much we can afford it."

"I only want more Flame Stones. What do you think, young brother?"

Luo Xing relaxed slightly upon hearing this. "You should have said so earlier," he thought. "If you wanted to exchange something, rather than steal it, then everything would be fine. However, what you want to exchange is another matter entirely."

At the same time, Luo Xing also sensed something was amiss. He discovered that the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce was quite a few experts, with at least four or five experts at the Returning Origin Realm, and even an expert at the Emperor Realm.

As for whether there are even more powerful experts on Luo Xing, it's impossible to detect at the moment, but judging from the opponent's current strength, taking down him, Lily, and Liu Yan would be no problem at all.

Therefore, a direct confrontation would likely not yield any good results. Chi Luoxing began to speak cautiously, no longer as he had been before.

"It's all easy to talk about."

"As expected of the head of the Zhao family, he is indeed very perceptive."

"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it from you, Zhao Jiajia. There are indeed four or five more Flame Stones of this size. But what would you like to exchange for them?"

"As everyone knows, this Flame Stone is extremely valuable!"

Luo Xing looked like a money-grubber, and even Lily beside him couldn't stand it anymore. It was as if he was about to bury his head in the money, practically begging for the treasure.

When the Zhao family patriarch heard that there were four or five more flame stones of that size, his eyes immediately lit up with a golden light.

He didn't want to say anything more about the wonderful uses of the Flame Stone.

At least this Flame Stone can support the function of four or five spaceships.

This single use alone is enough to make him a fortune, so exchanging it for some treasures is worthwhile.

But what treasure should he use to exchange for it? He was having a bit of a headache.

Just then, the butler came over and pulled the head of the Zhao family aside.

The head of the Zhao family frowned and looked at the steward, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

"Speak quickly, what is it? You blind, scoundrel. Can't you see I'm discussing business with someone?"

"If you can't even fart, be careful, or you'll be punished with family discipline later."

The butler swallowed hard and took two steps back in fright.

“The patriarch does indeed have something important to report.”

"We've investigated these people thoroughly. They have no background whatsoever; they seem to have come from elsewhere and don't have any powerful family backing them. They also have no connections in Black Soil City."

"Not to mention having any powerful background."

"We deduced that they should just be a group of rogue cultivators, so, Patriarch, the transaction you just mentioned might not need to go through so much trouble."

The head of the Zhao family was stunned when he heard what the steward said.

I initially thought that these kids must have the support of some powerful family to be able to find the Flame Stone in such a short time.

At first, they even thought these young men were sent by the other major merchant guilds to investigate their backgrounds. They never expected them to be a group of rogue cultivators.

If it's a group of repairmen, then it'll be much easier. Within Black Soil City, repairmen are the least of our worries. If they have powerful backers, they might be protected; but killing them would cause a lot of trouble.

But if it's a rogue cultivator, then we'll just kill them, we'll just kill them.

Who would dare to say no to the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce?

Zhao Qingtian patted the butler on the shoulder.

"Good lad. You made me think you were some big shot."

"Good job, you did a great job this time. You deserve credit."

"Once this deal goes through, you'll definitely get your share."

"Hehe. Thank you very much, Master."

A few minutes later, Zhao Qingtian walked up to Luo Xing again, but with a completely different expression.

He adopted a condescending attitude, as if he completely disdained to acknowledge the other person, yet also seemed to be looking down on them like a servant.

Luo Xing also noticed the change in the other person and felt somewhat uncomfortable. What was wrong with this guy? Why did he go inside? Does this kid not know his own name anymore?

"Patriarch Zhao, have you decided what you'll offer in exchange?"

However, the other party completely changed when looking at Luo Xing, and spoke in a disdainful tone.

"I think you've got a lot of nerve. You actually dare to come to my Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce to freeload."

"If you have any sense of propriety, you should hand over the things right now."

"Perhaps I can spare your life; otherwise, you'll likely find it difficult to leave this Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce today."

Stop pretending, show your cards.

Luo Xing finally understood. This guy must have just learned something. So this guy's appearance is so ugly.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have cooperated with this bastard. I never expected that this kid would be from the prestigious Zhao family.

They actually want to start a fight. If others find out about this murderous and thieving business, aren't they afraid of being ridiculed by heroes all over the world?
