With his mind made up, Su Shi'er felt some of his fixation fall away.
Hearing the tiger-eyed cultivator call from behind him, he showed no surprise. He merely turned back and returned to the stall, perfectly calm.
Seeing Su Shi'er come back, the tiger-eyed cultivator's eyes flashed with surprise.
Su Shi'er's composure had caught him off guard.
Then he spoke again.
"You're a ruthless one! Tribulation Transcendence is upon you, and you clearly want to use this Thunderclap Stone to make a Thunder Talisman and withstand the Heavenly Tribulation. Yet you can still bring yourself to walk away. You're... no ordinary man!"

"Bring out that grade-four Pill Furnace Magical Treasure! Apart from the Thunderclap Stone, take your pick of the Spiritual Ores on my stall."
Rolling his eyes, the tiger-eyed cultivator urged him on.
He was determined to have the Duo Er Stone. Now that he had yielded and shown his hand, even if Su Shi'er took every Spiritual Ore on the stall, he would have to swallow his displeasure and accept it.
More talk would only introduce uncertainty into the deal.
Su Shi'er nodded and brought out the Duo Er Golden Furnace again.
Then his gaze fell on the other Spiritual Ores at the stall, and he examined them one by one.
Su Shi'er could not bring himself to sweep every Spiritual Ore
