"Fine, fine! Three billion immortal stones it is!"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth as though the immortal stones were flesh being carved from his own body. In the end, he nodded.
Three billion immortal stones! He was taking a terrible loss. He had paid a full three and a half billion for the Darkness Law Origin!
But the Darkness Law Origin was a hot potato. It had sat in his shop for over a hundred years without a single buyer.
Selling it now would at least cut his losses.
The two soon completed the transaction.
Lu Ren took the Darkness Law Origin and held it out to Hun Xian'er. "Here you are, my wife."
Hun Xian'er blushed faintly as she accepted it. "Thank you, husband."
Lu Ren then picked out twenty Fire Element Law Origins from the shop. At an average of around three hundred million immortal stones each, they cost him six billion in total.
He was confident those twenty Fire Element Law Origins would help him bring his Chaos Law to perfection.
With their purchases complete, the two left the shop.
"Thank you, Master," Hun Xian'er said softly.
"You don't have to call me Master in private, either. Young Master will do. I could tell how badly you wanted the Darkness Law Origin. Cultivate hard. The stronger you become, the more you can help me in the future."
Lu Ren felt something toward Hun Xian'er that he could not quite put into words.
The backlash from the Disorderly Soul Demon Seed had forced her to love him. Yet that love was not a form of control; it was an instinctive affection, and it had stirred considerable fondness in him.
Throughout their journey, Hun Xian'er had worked tirelessly, all but sacrificing her own cultivation for his sake.
