He put away the stone slips and looked up at the stone platform.

Xiao Rou was still sitting on the stage, with her eyes closed and her breathing steady. The spiritual light shrouded her, and she couldn't see anything unusual. Her consciousness also entered the void space, and she didn't know what Cultivation Method would be chosen by Shitai.

Seeing that Xiao Rou probably needed some time, Qin Tiexin sat cross-legged on the spot, put Edgeless on his knees, closed his eyes and rested.

Several people around him looked at him strangely.

People who used to get Jade Slip basically went directly to the third floor. It is said that there are a large number of Spirit Stone and Law Artifact on the third floor. If you go a step later, it will be a huge loss.

But the person in front of me took the real book Cultivation Method and instead of going to the third floor, why was he waiting here? Could he be waiting for the maid on the stone platform who seemed to have "average qualifications"?

Some people whispered, some looked at him a few more times, and then looked away. Qin Tiexin's figure and Edgeless were still very oppressive.

Xiao Rou was still sitting on the stone platform, his brows furrowed and his eyes moving slightly under his eyelids, as if he had encountered some kind of difficulty.

At this moment, footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

A young man came up from below, followed by a guard.

The young master was fair-skinned, wearing a Supreme-Grade Law Artifact cassock, with dark patterns embroidered on the cuffs. There was a faint aura as he moved around, and it was obviously custom-made. He held a folding fan in his hand, the fan bones glowed with sapphire color, and the long sword hanging at his waist was also of extraordinary quality, with extremely fine patterns on the scabbard.

In the induction of Qin Tiexin, the folding fan and the long sword are also Supreme-Grade Law Artifact, without any trace of ordinary materials.

The guard was slightly taller, half a step behind, his aura was restrained, and his cultivation level was Foundation Establishment Peak Stage.

Someone at the scene recognized him and whispered, "This is the young master of Wanbao Pavilion, Qian Donglai. One of the most financially powerful families in Wanxing City. It is said that 30% of the magic weapon shops belong to his family."

After Qian Donglai went upstairs, he asked the guard to ask about the rules here. He frowned and seemed a little dissatisfied with the rules here. Then he looked around, first looking at Xiao Rou who was sitting on the stone platform, and finally landed on Qin Tiexin who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath.

He walked up, stood in front of Qin Tiexin, and bowed his hands in greeting.

"This fellow Daoist." Qian Donglai's voice was low and calm, "I'm Myriad Treasures Pavilion Qian Donglai. I heard that you have obtained the authentic book Cultivation Method. I haven't gone to the third floor yet. I want to discuss something with you."

Qin Tiexin opened his eyes and looked at him, wondering what this man meant.

Qian Donglai was not afraid and continued, "If fellow Daoist don't want to take risks on the third floor, can you lend me Jade Slip? I am willing to pay 10,000 Spirit Stone as the loan fee, and promise not to read the content, and return it immediately after entering the third floor. If fellow Daoist wants to sell it directly, I am willing to buy it at the standard price of the Nascent Soul Realm, 50,000 Spirit Stone."

Fifty thousand Spirit Stone, this price is not low. At Imperial Dao Arts Workshop, the best Nascent Soul Realm martial arts is about the same price.

Several people around him raised their ears, waiting to see Qin Tiexin's reaction.

Qin Tiexin shook his head. "I'm going to the third floor, I'm just waiting for someone."

Qian Donglai smiled and raised two fingers, "Eighty thousand. Spirit Stone is now tied. If you don't believe it, you can accept Spirit Stone first and then pay Jade Slip."

Then, Qian Donglai added, "The situation on the third floor is still unknown. Fellow Daoists who go to the third floor may not gain as much as the 80,000 Spirit Stone."

Eighty thousand.

This price is far higher than the ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivation Method, and what Qian Donglai said is right. Even if you go up to the third floor, you can get a lot of gains, let alone several groups of people who have already gone up. Instead of risking an unknown fortuitous opportunity, it is better to pocket these 80,000 Spirit Stone as Anlai's insurance.

Some people next to them took a breath, and some had envy in their eyes, wishing they could hold that Jade Slip in their hands.

Qin Tiexin still shook his head.

"I won't sell it, and I won't borrow it either."

Qian Donglai stared at him for a few breaths. Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretentious, he put away his fan and raised his hand again. "Then I won't bother you. If you change your mind, fellow Daoist, you can come to me at any time."

After saying that, he walked aside with his guards, found a place to sit down, and stopped looking at this place. He advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, without any entanglement.

In fact, Qian Donglai is not without confidence in passing the stone platform. He has also done some research on Buddhist scriptures and Dharma. It is just that it is rare to see the authentic book Cultivation Method, so he wanted to have an extra layer of protection.

It's okay if you can't buy it, there's no point in making a grudge over this matter.

Qin Tiexin's unmoved attitude towards Spirit Stone only made people around him more curious about his identity.

A person who can look at 80,000 Spirit Stone without changing his expression is probably from a bigger background than Myriad Treasures Pavilion. Some people looked at him a few more times, with a bit more speculation in their eyes.

On the stone platform, Xiao Rou is still sitting cross-legged.

Time passed little by little, and I saw that it was almost time for a cup of tea. Qin Tiexin frowned slightly. Those people on the stage before had only had about half a cup of tea at most.

Xiao Rou sat for an extra long time and didn't know what happened.

While Qin Tiexin was thinking, Shitai finally reacted.

A yellow-white Jade Slip popped out from the table. The color was similar to the previous sketches of Arhat Fist and Prajna Palm. It was gray and had no luster.

Qin Tiexin thought to himself, it seems Xiao Rou has stopped here, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Before this thought could be settled, something strange happened.

A second Jade Slip popped out from under the stone platform!!!

The golden light of Jade Slip was extremely strong, with light golden light flowing throughout the whole body, and a circle of fine "swastika" prints floating on the surface. Before it landed, the entire stone platform was illuminated brightly, and the discussion in the room suddenly exploded.

"This... is another authentic Cultivation Method!"

"What is the background of this pair of master and servant? One is more ruthless than the other."

"Isn't the maid a follower? How can she get the real copy?"

"How can one person get two Jade Slip??"

Qin Tiexin's pupils shrank. He originally wanted to use the results from Shitai to determine the true situation of Xiao Rou.

If she can only get the ordinary Jade Slip, it means that she is really an ordinary maid, and those suspicious things may just be that she is overthinking. If she gets the high-level Cultivation Method or even the real copy, it means that she has another agenda. The better the Jade Slip, the deeper it can be hidden.

But two Jade Slip popped up at the same time, and the result exceeded his expectations.

The first nine people, regardless of their strength, only have one Jade Slip. Why are there two Xiao Rou? And the difference is so big, one is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, and the other is obviously the extremely brilliant Cultivation Method?

Xiao Rou was sitting on the stone platform, holding the two Jade Slip in his hand. He lowered his head and looked at this one and then that one, his face full of confusion.

She didn't seem to understand what was happening. She raised her head and looked towards Qin Tiexin, with a look for help in her eyes.

Some people can't sit still.

A middle-aged monk stood up and took two steps towards Xiao Rou: "Girl, do you want to sell your authentic Jade Slip? I will pay you 60,000 Spirit Stone."

Before he finished speaking, another person spoke, "I will pay 70,000 yuan."

Qin Tiexin stood up, and Edgeless slapped the ground. The sound of the handle of the knife hitting the ground was not loud, but it made the two people shut up at the same time.

"Not for sale." Qin Tiexin said.
