Earth Spirit Barrier is a top-grade magic artifact refined from the bones and inner core of an earth-element demonic beast.

It is engraved with a second-tier defensive formation.

When infused with spiritual energy, it forms a close-range earth attribute protective barrier around the body.

Its defensive power is extremely strong.

It can perfectly defend against Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivator attacks, and can withstand a full-force strike from a Golden Core cultivator.

At Qi Refining stage, it can only exert forty percent of its power.

At Foundation Establishment stage, it can fully unleash its power.

When infused with earth attribute spiritual energy, its defensive power is doubled. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

After selecting all these miscellaneous items, everything was finally purchased.

When it came time to settle the bill, it turned out to be a total of over seven hundred high-grade spirit stones, equivalent to more than seven hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

Even Fu Young who was listening on the side was shocked.

This amount was roughly equivalent to more than a year of income for a first-rate aristocratic family.

However, Xiao Shou did not care at all.

Not long ago, when he excavated the spirit vein, the amount of lower-grade, middle-grade, and high-grade spirit stones he obtained was quite substantial.

All the high-grade spirit stones had already been fused by him into top-grade spirit stones and fed back into the spirit vein, causing the spiritual energy in his cave abode to now condense into mist-like dew.

Everywhere was filled with liquefied spiritual energy.

Meanwhile, the lower-grade and middle-grade spirit stones had also been repeatedly fused.

He kept only a small portion for daily use.

The rest had been fused into more than twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones.

So this expenditure of seven hundred was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Xiao Shou blinked and thought that since he had already shown off his wealth, he might as well make it even bigger, so large that the other party would not dare to act recklessly.

After making his decision, his expression remained cold and emotionless like a human-shaped block of ice.

He casually took out ten thousand high-grade spirit stones and transferred them into another storage bag, then said calmly, "Exchange all of these into lower-grade spirit stones."

"Please wait, customer. It will be done very soon."

Mei’er accepted it.

The moment she sensed the number and grade of spirit stones inside, she froze slightly. Then her previously calm expression also changed, and just like the earlier attendant, she lowered her head with an extremely respectful expression.

After a while, Mei’er brought several exquisitely crafted storage bags and handed them over to Xiao Shou, saying, "These are the goods you purchased and the spirit stones you exchanged. These storage bags are gifts from our shop for you, esteemed customer. Please check them to see if there are any discrepancies."

"No need. I trust the reputation of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall." Xiao Shou said as he casually took the storage bags and tossed one of them to Fu Young, saying, "Take it."

His action caused Mei’er’s expression to change slightly.

Those goods were worth more than seven hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones.

Even the chief steward of this place would handle them with great care. Yet he actually just casually threw them to a girl with no cultivation.

What exactly was the background of this customer?

She took a breath and, after some thought, finally made up her mind to ask, "May I ask, esteemed customer, since you have spent more than five hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones in our shop, according to our rules you are eligible to apply for a VIP Silver Token. With this token, you can receive priority purchasing rights in all Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall branches, and you can also enter Heaven-grade, Earth-grade, and Mysterious-grade auctions. May I ask if you would like to apply for it?"

"Mm. If I deposit five thousand high-grade spirit stones into the silver token, can I upgrade it to a gold token?" Xiao Shou asked.

He’s already very familiar with the rules of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall as they were all written in the book.

The rules of Ten Thousand Wisdom Hall were as follows: spending five million lower-grade spirit stones inside the tower grants an Iron Token, which allows entry into Heaven-grade auctions and advance reservation of all Qi Refining stage resources.

Spending fifty thousand middle-grade spirit stones grants a Bronze Token, which allows entry into Heaven and Earth grade auctions and advance reservation of all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment resources.

Spending five hundred thousand middle-grade spirit stones grants a Silver Token, which allows entry into Heaven, Earth, and Mysterious grade auctions, and advance reservation of all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment resources, as well as most Golden Core stage resources.

Spending five million middle-grade spirit stones grants a Gold Token, which allows entry into Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow grade auctions, and access to all Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment resources, most Golden Core resources, and rare Nascent Soul resources.
