Seeing this mission, as well as the system’s explanation regarding immortal stones, Wang Mang was stunned, but also elated.

This mission had come just on time!

After all, in order to break through and reach Tier 4, he needed to accumulate 100,000 energy points, and this mission presented him with the opportunity to do so. In addition, the conversion ratio was very good, though there was a handling fee.

In any case, this was his chance to get stronger. He had to figure out a way to earn immortal stones!

Well, in his mind, there was really only one mission option to choose, as it so happened to coincide with the number of energy points he needed to evolve. “System, I choose Mission 3!”

[Ding! Congratulations! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to get your reward!]

After hearing the system’s confirmation, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.

After a moment of hesitation, he decided to exchange 10,000 energy points for immortal stones. These oddly-shaped stones were immortal source stones, and were similar to the gambling stones back on Earth.

There was an element of luck involved in this, and Wang Mang was feeling quite lucky.

“System, exchange 10,000 energy points for immortal stones!”

[Ding! Congratulations! 10,000 energy points have been successfully deducted, 9,000 immortal stones have been sent into the host’s storage space!]

After hearing this, Wang Mang carefully examined the oddly-shaped stones in front of him, which were divided into three price categories.

Despite the fact that the stones looked similar, the prices were worlds apart!

“How about it, junior. Pick two pieces?”

“I know it looks expensive, but every opportunity comes with a price.”

“Not long ago, a junior bought a stone from me for 600 immortal stones.”

“However, as soon as it was opened, the price of the stone multiplied by 200 times! It was sold for a sky-high price of 120,000 immortal stones!”

The young man’s words were like tempting honey, but Wang Mang did not act rashly. Instead, he pretended to be worried and asked hesitantly, “Senior, How do 1 go about picking a stone?

Looking at Wang Mang’s expression, the young man smiled and said, “Just spend the money and buy the stone. After buying the stone, you can open it to see if there’s anything good inside.”

“Some of these stones might contain immortal materials for artifact refinement, and some might even contain high-grade immortal materials for Tier 5 crafting masters!”

“How about it, junior? It’s your chance to earn big!”

Hearing this, Wang Mang roughly understood what needed to be done.

Gritting his teeth and nodding, he said, “Then 1’11 try betting on one!”

“Junior, you can choose whichever stone you want. I can even give you recommendations!”

Wang Mang laughed inwardly. There was no way in hell he would trust this fellow, who was clearly out to earn his money. He would much rather trust himself, even if he did not know anything about these stones.

While Wang Mang was choosing an immortal source stone, he suddenly heard a mocking voice.

“There really is a fool who dares to buy the Smiling Buddha’s stones.”

“I’ve never heard of anyone getting anything good from the Smiling Buddha’s stall.”

“He’s probably new here, and hasn’t heard about the Smiling Buddha. This fellow is infamous.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang glanced over and saw a few students laughing and pointing at him on the road not far away. Before he could say anything though, the young man started cursing the students.

“If you f*cking dare to talk nonsense and disrupt my business, I’ll kill you!”

“Get lost! Are you guys itching for a beating?”

The young man was furious, as they were interfering in his business. He had set up this stall in order to earn immortal stones to accumulate resources in order to reach Tier 5.

However, these fools were getting in the way!

Hearing the Smiling Buddha’s roar, these students who were mocking him hurriedly left in a panic.

They could not afford to offend a Level 5 student, let alone one who was about to graduate.

Once he reached Tier 5, Smiling Buddha would become a true expert!

Smiling Buddha felt much better after seeing them leave. Of course, this altercation had attracted some attention, and a few people came over to see Wang Mang get fleeced.

While all of this was happening, Wang Mang was still busy picking stones. After a while, he finally picked a stone that weighed more than ten pounds.

This stone was completely black, but it emitted immortal qi that seemed to be denser than other stones. Wang Mang took out 500 immortal stones and said, “The price of this stone is 500, right?”

After glancing at the stones, the Smiling Buddha smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’m a man of my word!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Smiling Buddha waved his sleeve and took the 500 immortal stones. Incidentally, these immortal stones were only the size of a thumb, and they contained pure immortal qi.

After accepting the immortal stones, the Smiling Buddha smiled and said, “Junior, why don’t you open it and show everyone what you got?”
