If they were to start a fight directly, it would be problematic, as private duels are strictly prohibited in the Purple Moon Lake Market.

Moreover, the dragon egg stall owner is a cultivator at the Meridian Opening Fourth Layer Qi-Bearing Stage, and even he, Cui Mingfei, and Tianya might not be able to defeat him.

Should we just give the stall owner ten Spirit Stone as compensation?

However, the stall owner was clearly trying to scam Tang Tianya, and he had targeted Tang Tianya because of his young age and poor communication skills.

The path to immortality is fraught with traps.

Even if you don't provoke others, someone will definitely provoke you.

Although being ripped off by this stall owner for ten Spirit Stone was indeed frustrating, my elder brother had already told me yesterday that I must be patient in everything I do.

The Tang Household is currently in a weak position and has no strength to argue their case.

Just as Tang Tiansong was considering taking out the Spirit Stone, a clear, bell-like female voice rang out.

"Feng San, you're ripping people off again."

These three cracked dragon egg fossils must be veteran actors (often referred to as "veteran actors").

Tang Tiansong looked over and saw a graceful female cultivator in white approaching.

Although the nun wore a mask, Tang Tiandong was convinced from her voice, her figure, and the words she used to extricate herself that she must be a beautiful woman. "My mother always said that kind women are beautiful."

Upon seeing the masked woman, stall owner Feng San became somewhat timid and bowed respectfully, saying, "Senior is too kind. I was just joking with these three fellow Daoists."

"Enough nonsense. Over the years, I've spent hundreds of Spirit Stone on five of your so-called top-grade dragon egg fossils."

You said there's a 50% chance this top-grade dragon core fossil can hatch into a giant dragon.

"As a result, none of the five dragon egg fossils hatched successfully," the nun said angrily.

"Senior, most of the dragon egg fossils sold in our Purple Moon Lake Market are dug out from the Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert."

In High Antiquity times, Prosperous Dragon Lake was the dwelling place of a divine dragon, hence the existence of this divine dragon egg.

However, after tens of thousands of years, the dragon egg had long since turned into a stone-like fossil.

Dragon egg fossils can be used to refine elixirs and make medicine; only a very small number of dragon egg fossils can hatch into divine dragons.

The dragon egg fossils unearthed at Gazing Dragon Lake are each about the size of three goose eggs.

Dragon egg fossils also exist on Divine Dragon Island. These dragon egg fossils are the size of four goose eggs. The giant dragon of the Long Household Divine Dragon Island hatched from those dragon egg fossils.

You've already bought quite a few of the dragon egg fossils from Gazing Dragon Lake from me.

It was also out of consideration for your business that I made a special trip to Divine Dragon Island.

Senior, I can swear by a mysterious incantation that the five dragon core fossils I sold to you were indeed purchased from Divine Dragon Island at a high price.

"If anyone's been cheated, it's me Feng San, who fell for the tricks of that Long Household." Feng San looked aggrieved.

The female cultivator remained silent for a few moments, "I also know that fossilized dragon eggs capable of hatching into giant dragons are indeed one in ten thousand..."

"Feng San, I'd also like to buy five more dragon egg fossils."

"Senior, I will definitely make another trip to Divine Dragon Island."

Don't worry this time, I will carefully inspect the goods and find you a dragon egg fossil that can hatch into a giant dragon.

As for the price...

"Five dragon egg fossils, only forty Spirit Stone." Feng San patted his chest loudly.

Forty Spirit Stone...

"Then I will come to find you here a year from now on this day." The female nun hesitated.

"Hehe, the older generation really does have a large and powerful family business."

You can save up forty Spirit Stone in a year.

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely find you five more top-quality dragon egg fossils," Feng San assured him repeatedly.

The female cultivator nodded, and was about to turn and leave when she hesitated for a moment, looking at Tang Tiandong, "None of the dragon egg fossils in the entire Purple Moon Lake Market can hatch into giant dragons."

However, if we're going to use these dragon egg fossils for alchemy and medicine, then the dragon egg fossils Feng San has are indeed of a higher grade."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior." Tang Tiandong bowed respectfully.

"Hehe, you call me senior."

"Hehe..." The female cultivator chuckled a few times, then turned and left.

"Fellow Daoist Feng, your cultivation is above mine."

"You're calling this female cultivator 'senior,' so could it be that I'm calling her 'senior' incorrectly?" Tang Tiandong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Tch, I only call her 'senior' because of her Lineage's influence and the fact that she's helped me with a lot of business."

"Her cultivation level is only at the peak of the Meridian Opening Second Layer Realm." Feng San smiled contemptuously.

"Who is this female cultivator?..." Tang Tiandong asked.

Feng San curled his lip and looked at his pile of dragon egg fossils.

The meaning is clear: he will only reveal information if you buy his dragon egg fossils.

"Tianya, would you like to buy some dragon egg fossils?" Tang Tiandong asked with a kind expression.

Tang Pingan nodded.

"Stapper Feng, how much are these dragon egg fossils for sale?" Tang Tiandong looked at the colorful dragon egg fossils, which were about the size of three goose eggs.

"My dragon eggs are divided into three grades."

A first-grade dragon egg costs one Spirit Stone and can be used to refine pills for the Meridian Opening Stage.

A second-grade dragon egg costs two Spirit Stone and can be used to refine pills for the Early Qi Refinement.

A third-grade dragon egg costs three Spirit Stone and can be used to refine Late-stage Qi Refinement realm.

"Alright, I'll buy seven Spirit Stone." Tang Tiandong placed seven Spirit Stone on his hand. "I wonder who that masked female cultivator was..."

"Oh, that female cultivator's name is Tong Lingling, from the Tong Household on the southern Dragon-Gazing Lake Desert." Feng San happily accepted the seven Spirit Stone, pointed to the three small piles of dragon egg fossils in front of him, "Choose one yourself, pick whatever you like."

Fellow Daoist, I'd also like to offer you a piece of advice: Although most of the dragon eggs here are unable to hatch into giant dragons.

But who can know the vast and unpredictable Heavenly Dao?

If you're lucky, you might actually find a dragon egg that can hatch into a giant dragon.

Tang Tiandong nodded. "The Tong Household you mentioned, is it the Tong Household family, the Foundation Establishment cultivation Lineage of Purple Sparrow Mountain?"

Feng Dan nodded and went to attend to the other customers.

"Brother Xueyong, what do you think of these dragon egg fossils?..." Tang Tiandong looked at the three small piles of dragon eggs on the stall.

I don't understand either.

"Since Tianya likes this dragon egg, why don't we let him choose?" Cui Mingfei shrugged.

Tang Tiandong nodded and told Tang Tianya that he could only choose one dragon egg from the three small piles.

"Thank you, Fourth Brother." Tang Tianya clapped his hands happily and began selecting dragon eggs.

According to Tang Tiandong's original intention, since these dragon egg fossils can only be used as medicine, he might as well buy one of each type, and then buy another of the cheapest first-grade dragon eggs, as toys for Tianya and Tianshu.

However, after much deliberation, Tang Tianya only selected three second-grade dragon eggs.

No matter how Tang Tiandong explained, Tang Tianya remained fixated on the three second-grade dragon eggs.

At this point, Feng San's stall no longer had any premium dragon eggs.

Having no other option, Tang Tiandong had to explain to Feng San that he wanted to get back a Spirit Stone.

"If I take the Spirit Stone out of my pocket again, it will bring bad luck to my business."

Either you wait until this evening and come with me to my warehouse to choose a top-grade dragon egg.

"Or you can pick three from that pile of ungraded dragon eggs." Feng San looked troubled and pointed to a pile of dragon egg fossils behind him.

Tang Tiandong looked at them and was speechless: those dragon egg fossils were either incomplete or...

Or they are very small, about the size of two goose eggs.

These small dragon egg fossils are clearly from 10,000 years ago, before they turned to stone, and were born with congenital deficiencies.

Waiting until evening is impossible.

Left with no other option, Tang Tiandong had to send Tang Tianya to retrieve three more defective dragon egg fossils.

As Tang Tianya touched the flawed dragon egg fossil, the Earth Flood Dragon's distraction also examined it through Tang Tianya's eyes.

Through Tang Pingan's eyes, Earth Flood Dragon's distracted senses clearly indicated that three dragon egg fossils were different from others: one red, one green, and one purple, all emitting a shimmering white light.

After the Earth Flood Dragon's distraction controlled Tang Tianya to pick up the three unusual dragon egg fossils, it entered a dormant state...
