Greed consumed her gaze.

If she managed to acquire that stone for herself, she couldn’t even fathom the possibilities it held for her breakthrough.

She had caught a glimpse of the stone earlier, but due to its size, she had given up on it. Never had she imagined that such a sizable tea crystal would be hidden within!

She had to obtain that Spirit Stone.

She had to use it to make her breakthrough.

Observing Gu Chaoyan claim it as her own, Mu Weiran approached her. “Lady Chaoyan, can we discuss the possibility of selling that tea crystal to me?”

“….”

“This tea crystal holds immense significance to me. What do you desire? Name your price. As long as it lies within my capabilities as Mu Weiran, I promise I can fulfill it,” Mu Weiran pleaded, her gaze still fixed upon the tea crystal.

Gu Chaoyan gently shook her head.

She had no intention of antagonizing anyone, but she desired the tea crystal for herself.

It was because she yearned to make a breakthrough and reclaim the Golden Rolls rightfully belonging to her.

Mu Weiran could sense that Gu Chaoyan harbored no fondness for her. Nonetheless, since Gu Chaoyan had conducted herself in an exemplary manner from start to finish, she remained polite.

“I apologize, Elder Miss Mu, but I have a personal need for the tea crystals, so I cannot sell them to you,” Gu Chaoyan responded as she stored the tea crystals in her own space.

She intended to return and devote herself to cultivation and achieving a breakthrough.

Mu Weiran felt a strong reluctance to accept such a rejection.

However, there was nothing she could do within the confines of the stone gambling establishment.

She was now only lacking a tea crystal.

If she could acquire one, her cultivation would undoubtedly reach new heights.

“Is there truly no room for negotiation?” Mu Weiran inquired.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head.

Then, she directed her gaze towards the individual responsible for opening the stone. “The stone has been opened, and you have inadvertently damaged the spiritual energy of this Green Pillar Stone. How can we resolve this?”

The stone opener also appeared troubled.

Being a seasoned professional, he rarely made mistakes.

The slight emotional surge he experienced while opening the stone had led to this unfortunate occurrence.

He admitted his mistake.

“As you wish,” the stone opener acknowledged.

Gu Chaoyan nodded, content with his response.

This individual indeed possessed a fondness for these stones, but having spent considerable time in a place like the stone gambling establishment, he had likely gained some power.

Her loss wasn’t significant. In the future, she might need to return to this place for stone openings. There was no need to create enmity with him.

Since he had taken responsibility for his actions, she decided not to pursue the matter further.

“Just be more careful in the future. It’s a shame to damage the Spirit Stones,” Gu Chaoyan remarked.

After putting away all the Spirit Stones, he did not intend to pursue the matter.

Mu Weiran had been trying to change Gu Chaoyan’s mind, but Gu Chaoyan had no intention of doing so. She left in a hurry.

“Let’s not go back to the inn. Let’s find a mountain to cultivate.” Gu Chaoyan whispered to Li Mu and then gave him the Flying Pill.

Then, she used Sword Kinesis Flight and left.

Mu Weiran’s companions trailed behind them, unable to keep up as they watched Gu Chaoyan soar away using Sword Kinesis Flight. They had to return empty-handed since their cultivation levels were not advanced enough to employ such a technique.

With Gu Chaoyan’s departure, a sense of relief washed over her, prompting her to seek out a suitable location for cultivation.

Eventually, she halted near a range of mountains, where she ventured in search of a suitable cave.

As she walked, she muttered to herself, “I was too hasty today and didn’t handle things properly.”

“….”

“I’ve become a target.”
