Chapter 1180 - A Mysterious Old Man

The red-haired young man with the name Dong Kuo did not respond. He glanced at Qin Nan instead and said in a seemingly mocking tone, "Zhan Xiaoxian, a piece of advice, there are quite a few scammers out there on the streets. Make sure you aren\'t getting tricked." Both the woman from the Undead Tribe and the young man from the Lightning Tribe chuckled.

This Zhan Xiaoxian was quite something. They had only been mocking her, but to their surprise, she actually took the bait and had agreed to do fragment-betting with them.

Not only that, she had actually grabbed a cultivator from the streets to help her.

Did she really think she could easily find an eye-technique expert on the streets?

"It\'s my business, not yours." Zhan Xiaoxian harrumphed coldly.

"If you say so, let\'s begin." Dong Kuo looked at Qin Nan and purposely emphasized, "Cultivator, do you know the rules of fragment-betting? Each side will be buying three fragment pieces, and the profit made is calculated from deducting the number of God Stones used to buy them from their actual values. The side which ends up earning more God Stones will be deemed the winner." Qin Nan nodded slightly.

"Someone, bring up the fragments, and call the master here too." Dong Kuo said to the servant standing outside the room.

"These people are surely underestimating us. Duan Qing, let\'s show them what you got." Zhan Xiaoxian wore an unpleasant look as she transmitted her voice to Qin Nan.

Qin Nan did not answer, but asked instead, "Why are they picking on you?"

He initially thought that Zhan Xiaoxian was having a normal bet, but it turned out that Dong Kuo, the female from the Undead Tribe, and the male from the Lightning Tribe were just trying to humiliate her with the bet.

"Humph, the other seven ancient tribes have always looked down on our Battle Tribe, saying that we are not truly a tribe from the ancient era, thus they have been picking on us since then." As for Dong Kuo, he tried to flirt with me before, but after I called him a Yin and Yang man1 a few times, he began to hate me instead." Zhan Xiaoxian replied with an unpleasant tone.

Qin Nan uttered a cough, but his eyes were filled with doubts.

The Battle Tribe wasn\'t one of the eight ancient tribes?

Before Qin Nan had time to think, a group of servants had moved a pile of fragments into the room, which was estimated to be over a thousand. Each fragment was covered in an ancient aura, some were even emitting a magical glow, hinting at their extraordinariness.

Following this, an old man wearing a black robe slowly walked into the room.

"Master Yi!"

Dong Kuo, the young man from the Lightning Tribe, and the woman from the Undead Tribe rose from their seats and brought their fists together respectfully.

"It\'s you?"

Zhan Xiaoxian\'s eyes flickered with astonishment.

Qin Nan was slightly startled too, as he did not expect the old man to be the vendor he met on the street who was quite an expert in faking the rocks.

"Master Yi? Does that mean you\'re Master Yi Feng?"

Zhan Xiaoxian\'s expression changed slightly as she thought of something.

"Master Yi Feng?"

Qin Nan glanced toward her.

"Duan Qing, I think we\'re in trouble. This Master Yi Feng is extremely famous in Linran City. His cultivation has reached the peak Martial Progenitor Realm and he also possesses an outstanding eye-technique. Rumors say that he once bet against several Martial Monarch Realm experts with his eye-technique and won most of the bets." Zhan Xiaoxian\'s face turned dark. She did not expect Dong Kuo and the others would invite Master Yi Feng here just to humiliate her.

She originally had some hope in winning, but it seemed like she would surely lose the bet now.

"HAHAHA, Zhan Xiaoxian, did we catch you off guard? Well, it\'s too late to regret now. Master Yi Feng, thanks for your help." Dong Kuo burst out laughing as he glimpsed at Zhan Xiaoxian before bringing his fists together toward Yi Feng.

The woman from the Undead Tribe and the man from the Lightning Tribe wore disdainful looks too. Do you really think a random stranger you found on the street could be comparable to Master Yi Feng?

"Mm." Master Yi Feng nodded. He glanced toward Qin Nan and Zhan Xiaoxian, and was instantly stunned. He let out a smile toward Qin Nan, "What a surprise, I didn\'t expect you to be my opponent. The eye-technique that you displayed before is quite an eye-opener for me."

After saying this, Master Yi Feng brought his fists together toward Dong Kuo and spoke in a slightly apologetic tone.

"Young Master Dong, I\'m sorry. I initially thought I could win this easily, but now, I think the chance of me winning is less than sixty percent."

Hearing this, Dong Kuo and the other two cultivators were utterly astounded.

They never thought the cultivator whom Zhan Xiaoxian had randomly grabbed from the streets would be considered so highly by Master Yi Feng, that even he felt that the chance of winning to be lower than sixty percent.

Zhan Xiaoxian was stunned too. Even though she knew Qin Nan\'s eye-technique was quite outstanding, she never thought it would be this strong.

Meanwhile, Qin Nan\'s face remained as calm as always.

If it weren\'t for the piece of the Canglan Tree, he would not waste his time participating in a bet like this.

That being said, he was quite intrigued by this Master Yi Feng.

"Hehe, I didn\'t expect cultivator to have such a strong eye-technique. Forgive me for not recognizing your talent. However, is it possible for you to give me some face and forfeit the bet? For your information, I\'m the young master of Linran City." Dong Kuo smilingly said while bringing his fists together toward Qin Nan.

The young master of Linran City. In other words, he was the son of a Martial Monarch.

Even though the number of Martial Monarch Realm experts in the half-God region was significantly greater than the Middle Continent—thus the son of a Martial Monarch was not too hard to find—they were still considered to have quite a formidable background.

"Dong Kuo, you…" Zhan Xiaoxian instantly became furious.

"Don\'t be mad, let\'s start the bet." Qin Nan calmly said.

Even if Martial Monarch Linran were here in person, he had no intention to give him face, let alone his son.

Dong Kuo\'s expression instantly sank.

The woman from the Undead Tribe and the man from the Lightning Tribe wore dark expressions too.

They did not expect this young man to be so disrespectful.

"Master Yi Feng, it\'s up to you now." Dong Kuo swiftly said after casting a cold glimpse toward Qin Nan.

"Sure."

Master Yi Feng nodded and walked up to the pile of fragments. His eyes were suddenly covered in ice, as if they had become an icy kingdom.

He was born with the eyes naturally, which were known as the Icy Kingdom Eyes.

A few breaths later, Master Yi Feng pointed at three of the fragments and bought them with thirty thousand God Stones.

Qin Nan nodded slightly. Master Yi Feng\'s eye technique was indeed impressive. The three fragments were considered the best apart from another piece lying in the pile.

"Cultivator, your turn."

Master Yi Feng signaled Qin Nan with a gesture.

"I\'ll pick these three then."

Qin Nan reached out his hand and selected three fragments emitting a magical glow.

"Wait a second."

A sudden shout could be heard, who turned out to be Dong Kuo.

The voice instantly attracted everyone\'s attention, who only saw Dong Kuo wearing a smile as he spoke, "These three fragments were initially thirty-eight thousand God Stones in total, but as the owner of the Golden Soaring Palace, I\'ve changed my mind and decided to make them eighty thousand God Stones instead."

Hearing this, Zhan Xiaoxian wore an astounded look.

Note: this is kind of like using the term ‘hermaphrodite’ as a slur / insult, implying that he is both ‘Yin’ (female) and ‘Yang’ (male)
