Fellow Daoist, I gladly accept this heaven-defying opportunity.

Unlike the deathly silence at the He and Zhao families' seats, the Xiao family's seats were already in an uproar.

Just as Xu Mofeng subdued Wang Cheng with his sword intent, the head of the Xiao family exerted force with his knuckles, crushing the armrest of the chair to pieces, with wood chips falling down in a flurry.

Half of it was shock, and the other half was overwhelming joy.

"To have grasped more than 10% of the essence of the sword at such a young age, how is that possible..."

Xiao Yi stared at the figure on the stage, muttering to himself repeatedly, still unable to believe his eyes.

Ling Qingcheng, standing beside him, spoke slowly with a complex expression: "A prodigy cannot be judged by ordinary standards. In this young man, I see the shadow of Senior Brother Xue Changhe from back then."

"What?!"

Xiao Yi exclaimed in a low voice, "Senior Brother Duan is a figure ranked on the Great Merchant's Elite List! How can this young man compare to him?"

"If he can maintain this momentum, he will definitely have a place on the list of future business elites."

Ling Qingcheng's tone was firm, without a trace of joking.

Xiao Yi opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time, only his face was full of shock.

Xiao Yu, who was standing to the side, was completely stunned. He froze in his seat, his eyes wide open, and his body trembled slightly from extreme excitement.

Zhang Linghe next to him was even more exaggerated, his mouth was so open that he could fit a fist in it, and his jaw was almost dislocated.

Xu Mofeng stood on the stage for a long time, but no one from either of the two clans dared to respond.

He shook his head and leaped off the dueling platform.

After a period of commotion, the three major families finally came to their senses and hurriedly sent people to announce the end of the three-family martial arts competition.

The huge arena was in a mess, and the deep, long knife mark that ran across the entire dueling platform was shocking and made people's eyelids twitch.

When the results were announced, many people from all three ethnic groups felt uneasy.

They went to great lengths to organize this martial arts competition for the younger generation, only to find that the most outstanding junior in the clan wasn't even worthy of carrying the shoes of this outsider. The difference in their talents was like heaven and earth, making it a laughing stock.

At this point, rankings are no longer important.

Xu Mofeng, representing the Xiao family, dominated the entire arena, stealing all the limelight. The biggest winner of this martial arts competition was naturally the Xiao family.

The martial arts tournament ended abruptly after a hasty completion of the final procedures.

The He and Zhao clans hastily withdrew, and before leaving, the heads of both families kept their eyes fixed on Xu Mofeng, their eyes gleaming as they each made their own plans.

This young man was a friend of Xiao Yu, the second son of the Xiao family. It was said that Xiao Yu was born out of wedlock and was not well received in the Xiao family.

Given this, there might still be an opportunity to win them over.

Such a prodigy has limitless potential for future achievements. He's definitely a golden opportunity; get on his good side as soon as possible for endless benefits in the future.

Inside the Xiao family mansion, Xiao Yu bowed respectfully to Xu Mofeng, his tone full of reverence: "The Xiao family was able to stabilize the situation today entirely thanks to Junior Brother Xu's assistance. We are deeply grateful."

After saying that, he picked up a tray, lifted the black cloth on it, and revealed ten pieces of jade, each the size of a baby's fist, that were white, smooth, and warm.

"I hope you will accept this small gift, junior brother."

Xu Mofeng's gaze swept over them, and his heart stirred slightly. They were actually ten high-grade spirit stones.

For a small-town aristocratic family whose strongest member is only at the Golden Core stage, this is an absolute grand gesture, almost equivalent to the reward for a Black-level mission within the Biyou Sect.

He hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand to decline, saying, "Senior Brother Xiao, you're too kind. We already agreed on the payment before we came. This is really too much."

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Xiao Yu remained silent for a moment, then suddenly pulled out a dagger and plunged it into his arm with a "whoosh," instantly soaking his clothes with blood.

Xu Mofeng was taken aback: "What is Senior Brother Xiao doing?"

Xiao Yu endured the pain and gritted his teeth, saying, "I only said I would give you five mid-grade spirit stones as a reward. I was blind and neglected you, junior brother. This stab is my apology. If you still consider me your fellow disciple, please accept this gift. If you are still not satisfied, I will stab myself a few more times until you are calmed down."

"Oh, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing his resolute and ready-to-die stance, Xu Mofeng felt helpless and had no choice but to accept the spirit stones.

Little did Xiao Yu know that if Xu Mofeng hadn't switched the opportunity that should have been his, he would have been the one who turned the tide and enjoyed boundless glory today.

Xu Mofeng felt truly ashamed to accept this gift of gratitude.

But his shameful expression only made Xiao Yu feel a mix of emotions, both touched and ashamed.

Today, Xu Mofeng stood up for the Xiao family and won the martial arts competition, which also boosted his own status.

His father and elder brother, who used to look down on him, now look at him differently; the whole of Chu Jing City knows that the monstrous young man who overwhelms all heroes with his sword and even defeats Lie Yan Shou Wang Cheng is his fellow disciple and friend of the second young master of the Xiao family.

Junior Brother Xu is such a kind and benevolent person that he repeatedly declined any extra reward afterward, refusing to take even the slightest advantage.

Compared to such a magnanimous and righteous person, Xiao Yu felt that his previous thoughts were too narrow-minded, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

He secretly made up his mind: no matter what Junior Brother Xu thinks, he is determined to be his friend. In the future, if he needs anything, he will go through fire and water without hesitation!

"It's a rare treat for Junior Brother Xu to come to Chu Jing City. I'll treat you to a few days of sightseeing, and show you around as a good host."

Xiao Yu said earnestly.

Xu Mofeng shook his head: "No need. I still have sect missions to complete and need to go somewhere else."

Xiao Yu tried to persuade him a few times, but seeing that he was determined, he had no choice but to give up: "Then next time you come, junior brother, you must let me treat you well."

"must."

That day, Xu Mofeng rode a fast horse and left Chu Jing City alone.

Three days later, at a jade gambling stall in a secular market.

A plump, middle-aged man squatted on the ground and spent a long time picking and choosing. Finally, he found a stone of good quality and was about to reach out to take it when a fair and slender hand suddenly reached out from the side and picked up the stone first.

"Boss, this is it."

A clear, youthful voice rang out.

The fat man turned his head and saw that the person who had snatched his stone was a handsome young man with clear features, dressed as a martial artist.

Although he was a little unhappy, gambling on stones is all about luck and a bit of luck. He wasn't sure if there was anything of value in the stones, so he just accepted it. He muttered a few words and then turned around to continue picking.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, a gasp suddenly erupted from the side.

"My God! Top-grade spirit stones!"

"A single piece of stone is only worth one primordial spirit stone, but this one yielded a high-grade spirit stone, meaning its value has increased ten thousandfold!"

"That kid's so lucky! Why can't it be my turn!"

The fat man turned his head at the sound and saw that the boy was holding a lustrous, high-grade spirit stone in his hand, which shone brightly.

The stone from which the spirit stone was extracted was the very one he had his eye on, but which someone else had snatched up!

"Holy crap!"

The fat man's eyes turned red, and he was filled with deep regret.

This should have been his! He was just one step away!

[Congratulations, host, on successfully transforming your destiny! You have received the following reward: 1 High-Grade Human-Rank Qi Cultivation Pill.]

Xu Mofeng listened to the system notification in his mind, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he casually put the high-grade spirit stone he had just acquired into his storage ring.

I was lucky today. I stumbled upon a blue opportunity while just strolling around. With a casual turn, I not only got a high-grade spirit stone for free, but also a Qi-Nourishing Pill. What a steal!

He had been away from Chu Jing City for three days, and he still had a sect mission to complete: to collect one hundred Crimson Flame Grasses.

This Crimson Flame Grass isn't rare, but it's a local specialty.

The purchase price for one hundred plants was only ten basic spirit stones, but the sect gave a reward of twenty mid-grade spirit stones. It is likely because the place of origin is too far away from the Biyou Sect that such a price difference was given.

Xu Mofeng was thinking of hiring a few locals to help with the purchase, estimating that he could gather enough in another two days, at which point he could return to his clan.

With nothing to do, he strolled leisurely through the market. As he walked, a person walked towards him.

The moment Xu Mofeng saw who it was, his pupils suddenly contracted.

It wasn't because this person was exceptionally good-looking, nor because of their profound cultivation, but because their entire body was enveloped in a dense, blinding purple light!

A purple opportunity!

The newcomer was an ordinary-looking young man, even somewhat simple and crude, with no cultivation whatsoever, a completely ordinary person.

His eyes, however, were exceptionally clear, suggesting he was a kind-hearted person.

But in Xu Mofeng's eyes, the young man was enveloped in a thick purple light, exuding an air of nobility, just like an emperor on earth.

A purple opportunity!

Moreover, this is definitely not an ordinary purple opportunity!

A previous crimson opportunity allowed him to unlock a powerful spiritual body, possess the power of a dragon, and break through four major cultivation realms.

Now that we've stumbled upon a purple opportunity that's even higher than red, if we successfully convert it into gold, wouldn't the benefits be immeasurable?

Upon thinking of this, Xu Mofeng's breathing suddenly became more rapid.

Without saying a word, he followed the clues to the good-natured young man at full speed. He hadn't gone far when he raised an eyebrow in surprise. The clues to the good fortune were actually right in the market in front of him.
