Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

Everyone knows that Jiang Shi possesses the superior magical artifact, the Water-Stabilizing Pearl.

However, these people didn't think of it in this way at first.

Now that it's been brought up, people are agreeing with this method.

Whether the person who possesses the water-stabilizing pearl agrees to this is beyond his control.

After all, there were more than 500,000 Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present, including Zhou Yuan, Xuan Yuan Yi, and Wei Wu Shang, three prodigies from top forces.

Would he dare to refuse?

"I refuse!" Jiang Shi replied expressionlessly.

"What?! He actually dared to refuse?!" Upon hearing this, all the great cultivators were shocked. They never expected that Jiang Shi would dare to refuse.

"Fine! You actually dare to refuse!" Xuan Yuan Yi's killing intent intensified, his killing intent and blood energy gathered together, as if it was about to erupt and kill Jiang Shi.

"Why should I help you? What benefit would it bring me?" Jiang Shi was not afraid of Xuan Yuan Yi at all, even though the other party was much stronger than him.

Although Jiang Shi was indeed no match for Xuan Yuan Yi, with the Water-Stabilizing Pearl and the fact that this place was located above a pool of water, if he wanted to escape, no one present could stop him.

Even if these three top-tier cultivators from these three forces attacked together, it wouldn't be enough!

"He even dares to ask for favors?! He's got a death wish!"

"How dare he be so arrogant? Isn't he afraid of dying?"

"I think we should just kill him and take Dingshui instead."

Some Foundation Establishment stage cultivators kept blaming Jiang Shi, wishing they could take action immediately to seize the Water Stabilizing Pearl and kill him.

Among the high-grade magic artifacts that Jiang Shi had previously revealed, including the Water-Stabilizing Pearl and the spoils left behind by the five water-elemental cultivators, some of the cultivators were quite envious.

They kept stirring up trouble, trying to get everyone involved to take down Jiang Shi.

Xuanyuan Yi frowned slightly upon hearing Jiang Shi's words, as if he were pondering something.

And at this time.

"Fellow Daoist, what benefits do you desire?" Zhou Yuan from Beast Taming Mountain flew over and asked.

Jiang Shi laughed upon hearing this.

"Not much, just one mid-grade spirit stone."

"A mid-grade spirit stone?" Zhou Yuan was somewhat surprised. He had thought Jiang Shi would ask for an exorbitant amount, but he hadn't expected him to only ask for a mid-grade spirit stone.

For a disciple like him, who comes from a top-tier sect, a mid-grade spirit stone is far too little.

"If it's just a mid-grade spirit stone, I'll pay you directly." Zhou Yuan took out a mid-grade spirit stone from his storage bracelet. The spirit stone floated into the air and came to Jiang Shi's side.

Jiang Shi put the mid-grade spirit stone into his storage bag.

Then he still didn't do anything and just stared blankly into space.

"Hey! You've already taken the spirit stones, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get to work! What? You're trying to renege on your promise after taking the spirit stones, aren't you?!" A Foundation Establishment cultivator shouted rudely from a distance.

Jiang Shi turned his head and looked over, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

"Tsk!" Jiang Shi saw that this person was talking more and more and still wouldn't stop. As soon as he opened his mouth, a beam of Gengjin divine light shot out.

That Foundation Establishment stage cultivator never expected Jiang Shi to dare to make a move.

He could only hastily activate his defensive spells, but because it was done in a rush and he wasn't fully prepared, his attack was broken by the Gengjin Divine Light in just one strike.

Furthermore, the Gengjin divine light pierced through his body, causing this Foundation Establishment stage cultivator to vomit blood and suffer severe injuries on the spot!

Jiang Shi's sudden move caused both Xuan Yuan Yi and Zhou Yuan to change their expressions.

Only Wei Wushang remained in place, watching the scene as if it were a play.

"Fellow Daoist, since you have already accepted the spirit stones, why did you still make a move? Wasn't it you who offered a mid-grade spirit stone?" Zhou Yuan of the Beast Taming Mountain said in a deep voice. The Thunder Roar Beast beside him became alert because of Jiang Shi's actions, and occasionally let out some low growls at Jiang Shi.

"That's right, I did say one mid-grade spirit stone, but I meant one mid-grade spirit stone per person," Jiang Shi said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

It's impossible to get him to help for free. Even if it offends everyone, including the scions of these top powers, he will still do it.

There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

As soon as Jiang Shi finished speaking, the once quiet room erupted in chaos again!

"What?! One mid-grade spirit stone per person?!"

"You really dare to think like that? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"I can't take this anymore! Don't stop me, I'll take him down!"

Jiang Shi flew up and faced the fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators from a distance.

"Want to kill me? I'm right here. Let's see who dares to make a move!" Jiang Shi's eyes were cold as he swept them over the crowd.

His killing intent surged forth. Jiang Shi, who had already killed more than a dozen Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, now exuded a killing intent that was enough to chill everyone to the bone.

None of the fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present dared to say another word, and all took a step back.

"Hahahaha, interesting, very interesting." Wei Wushang flew over laughing.

"Although the statue below is of no use to me, it's just a mid-grade spirit stone." Wei Wushang took out a mid-grade spirit stone, floated it in the air, and handed it to Jiang Shi.

Then he laughed and flew to the side to continue watching the show.

After Wei Wushang finished giving it, Xuan Yuan Yi flew over, took out a mid-grade spirit stone, and threw it to Jiang Shi.

"Young man, your killing intent is not bad," Xuan Yuan Yi praised.

As a member of the Xuanyuan clan of the Western Desert, he was subject to clan techniques, spells, and secret arts that all required extremely high levels of blood energy and killing intent.

Xuan Yuan Yi could tell at a glance that the person in front of him had killed at least a dozen powerful cultivators of the same realm.

I could tell that this person was quite strong, and I might not be able to defeat him even if I took action myself.

It was just a mid-grade spirit stone; he didn't care.

After giving away a mid-grade spirit stone, Xuan Yuan Yi flew to the side and watched with his arms crossed.

With the three prodigies from top-tier forces having already handed over mid-grade spirit stones, the fifty-odd Foundation Establishment stage cultivators present dared not utter another word.

They took out a mid-grade spirit stone one after another and handed it to Jiang Shi.

"Hurry up!" Xuan Yuan Yi threatened, seeing the group dawdling.

Xuan Yuan Yi regarded those with weaker abilities as mere ants.

But if someone has the ability to catch his eye, Xuan Yuan Yi is actually quite easy to talk to.

Just like Zhou Yuan, Xuan Yuan Yi never lost his temper with him.

Xuan Yuan Yi could see through Jiang Shi's strength at a glance. Although he couldn't compare to the disciples of top-tier forces, he was still quite strong and much better than those ants.

After Xuan Yuan Yi spoke, no one dared to delay any longer.

A total of 56 mid-grade spirit stones—this was Jiang Shi's entire harvest this time.

Jiang Shi was quite satisfied as he put the mid-grade spirit stone into his storage bag.

This time, Xiao Xiao made a fortune.

It doesn't matter that the statue in the pond isn't getting any benefits right now.
