"Hoo!"

Even Old Man Wu couldn't help but gasp at this moment.

He raised his head and glanced at Yi Feng opposite him with a knowing look. In his eyes, Yi Feng taking out the Flame Bead was like responding to his unspoken doubts.

It was as if he was saying, I can casually produce a Flame Bead, but what about you?

At this moment, Yi Feng noticed Old Man Wu's gaze and smiled, nodding at him with a look of concession. After all, he had won this game of chess effortlessly.

Indeed.

Seeing this, Old Man Wu confirmed that Yi Feng was exactly as he had thought.

He glanced at the chessboard. Yes, he had lost the game, but that wasn't his focus anymore. The two of them had already moved beyond a mere game of chess to a different kind of competition.

He had to admit, he never expected Yi Feng to be able to produce a Flame Bead.

The value of this Flame Bead was far greater than he had imagined.

Matching its value were the Water Spirit Bead, Earth Domain Bead, Adamantine Bead, and Wood Breath Bead. If these five spirit pearls were combined, they could form the Great Immeasurable Bead, which could instantly turn a mortal who had never cultivated into a saint. m.9biquge.\ncom

Legend has it that a supreme being in the North Sea had already gathered the other four spirit pearls, lacking only the Flame Bead.

He never expected that this Flame Bead would be here...

If he took this bead and exchanged it with that supreme being who was just one Flame Bead short, he could almost certainly obtain treasures worth countless times more than this bead.

But he didn't.

Why?

With his cultivation, it was unlikely he wouldn't know about this.

This meant that even though he knew he could exchange the Flame Bead for something of higher value, he chose not to. This indicated that he wasn't particularly in need of things worth several times more than the Flame Bead.

In fact, he might even look down on them...

This person's cultivation is unfathomable, and his schemes are even more formidable than I imagined!

Old Man Wu looked at Yi Feng, making this judgment in his heart.

On the surface, he produced a Flame Bead, but the value it represented was far more than just a single Flame Bead!

In other words, if he wanted to gain the upper hand in this competition, he would have to produce a treasure worth several times more than the Flame Bead.

No wonder, no wonder he could be so confident.

However...

You seem to have underestimated me as well.

A sharp glint flashed in Old Man Wu's hawk-like eyes. He actually had such an item in his possession.

"Brother Yi, help me take a look at this." As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a rake with seven teeth appeared in his hand.

Seeing the rake that suddenly appeared in his hand, Yi Feng didn't pay much attention. He figured the old man had just come back from farming and brought it along.

This rake probably wasn't very useful anymore, and since he knew Yi Feng did blacksmithing on the side, he asked him to take a look. Fine, I'll take a look then. Yi Feng casually took it and examined it carefully.

Seeing Yi Feng's scrutinizing expression, Old Man Wu smiled with self-satisfaction.

His Seven-Toothed Saint Rake might appear dull and unremarkable, but it was a divine artifact passed down from ancient times, a Saint Grade item. Even if it was slightly damaged, it could still unleash one-tenth of its Saint Grade power when fueled by primal energy.

Saint Grade.

A legendary item.

Even with minor damage, its value was by no means comparable to a mere Flame Bead.

And he believed that with Yi Feng's cultivation, he would absolutely be able to see this.

Therefore, at this moment, he could already imagine Yi Feng's jaw dropping in shock.

Speaking of which, obtaining this Seven-Toothed Saint Rake had cost him his entire life's savings, and he had even lost half his life to get it. So, no matter how surprised Yi Feng was later, it would be understandable.
