Chapter 1841: Chapter 1840: Calculating Again

"Interesting! Since he wants to play, I’ll play with him to the end!" Liu Qingcheng’s eyes turned cold.

"Miss, are you going to take people out and hack him to death?" Xiaoqing said with bright eyes.

"Sometimes, killing doesn’t require using a knife." Liu Qingcheng said meaningfully.

"Miss, I don’t understand. How do you kill without using a knife?" Xiaoqing asked puzzled.

"Doesn’t he claim to be never wrong in his calculations? Let’s play with him on this! Didn’t you ask him earlier when you could break through to the Golden Core Realm? Didn’t he ask for ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones? Then you go over, and I’ll see if he can get it right!" Liu Qingcheng said coldly.

"Miss, but I don’t have that many Spirit Stones on me!" Xiaoqing said with a bitter face.

"Here are ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, take them for divination! If he gets it wrong, let the guards hack him to death! How dare he pretend to be mysterious outside my City Lord Mansion, seeking death!" Liu Qingcheng said with murderous intent.

"Yes, Miss, Qing’er knows what to do!" Xiaoqing responded.

At that moment, holding the storage bag thrown by Liu Qingcheng, she hurriedly rushed outside.

A little while later.

Xiaoqing returned to Zhang Xiaohao’s side again; seeing her return, Zhang Xiaohao’s lips curled into a playful smile, as if he had already predicted she would return again.

"Hmph! Stinking Taoist, didn’t you just say that with ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, you could calculate when I could break through to the Golden Core Realm? Here are ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones; I want you to calculate now! If you can’t figure it out or if it’s wrong, I swear I’ll tear down your lousy stall!!!" Xiaoqing said coldly.

"Now you want me to calculate when you can break through to the Golden Core Realm, it will take two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones!" Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.

"What? What did you say? Two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones? You might as well go rob!!!" Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, Xiaoqing’s face changed dramatically.

"Rob? The Old Taoist disdains such actions! Earning a living with skills, why resort to robbery?" Zhang Xiaohao retorted.

"Hmph! Then tell me, just now you needed ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, why now need two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones? Isn’t this robbery?! What else could it be?" Xiaoqing said angrily.

"Just now was just now; now is now. The opportunity has passed. If you want to reclaim the lost opportunity, you naturally need to pay a higher price!" Zhang Xiaohao said mysteriously.

"Hmph! I ask you, if I come back with two hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones within three minutes, will the price increase?" Xiaoqing asked coldly.

"If you return within three minutes and still ask about cultivation matters, it would cost five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones! To ask or not, it’s entirely up to you, not anyone else!" Zhang Xiaohao said calmly.

"Stinking Taoist, you are too much! You just wait, five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, right? I’ll go get them right now!" Xiaoqing said viciously.

Throwing down a harsh word, she hurriedly ran towards the City Lord Mansion.

A moment later, she returned again to the courtyard where Liu Qingcheng was.

"What’s wrong? Didn’t get it done?" Liu Qingcheng asked.

"Miss, that stinking Taoist is too detestable. He actually said the opportunity has passed, and if I went back within three minutes to ask about cultivation matters, it would cost five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones! It’s simply asking an exorbitant price!" Xiaoqing added fuel to the fire.

"Seems like this person’s ambition isn’t small! Five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, is it? Fine, I’ll give it to you! Go and make him calculate; if he can’t, hmph hmph! I’ll make him understand the consequences of daring to take my Spirit Stones; I’ll make him suffer!" Liu Qingcheng said with murderous intent.

"Miss, five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, this is astronomical! Using them on me, isn’t it too wasteful?" Xiaoqing replied.

"Silly girl, you’ve been by my side since childhood. You’ve suffered for years; it’s just five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones! I won’t take it to heart." Liu Qingcheng smiled and said.

At that moment, she flicked her jade hand and threw a storage bag over.

"Inside here are five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones; go quickly, don’t miss the time." Liu Qingcheng instructed.

"Mm." Xiaoqing nodded.

Holding the five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones, she rushed outside once again.

A little while later.

Xiaoqing, panting heavily, stopped in front of Zhang Xiaohao, flipped her hand to take out a storage bag, and threw it over.

"Stinking Taoist, inside here are five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones; you can calculate now, right?" Xiaoqing said coldly.

"Three seconds left to three minutes, still within three minutes!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

He received the storage bag she threw over, scanned it with his Divine Thought, confirming it held five hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Stones.

"Wait a moment, this involves the grand path of cultivation, which naturally goes against the heavens, moreover the Golden Core is a watershed; not reaching Golden Core is deemed mortal, achieving it transcends the ordinary!" Zhang Xiaohao continued to boast.

In Xiaoqing’s watchful gaze, his right hand hidden in the robe started moving again.

Only to see Zhang Xiaohao’s right hand calculating rapidly, performing the Three Pure Ones Scripture Divination algorithm on the Heavenly Turtle shell in his palm, while his inner Spiritual Power was being consumed as if drinking water.

Under Zhang Xiaohao’s calculations, strands of milky white destiny energy appeared within his fingers, though unfortunately, Xiaoqing could not see this scene.

Otherwise, she would definitely have cried out in surprise.

Within the blink of an eye, an hour passed.

Zhang Xiaohao finished calculating and glanced at Xiaoqing on the opposite side.

"So, when can I break through to the Golden Core Realm?" Xiaoqing asked eagerly.

"I must say, your luck is really good." Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"I’m telling you, can you stop beating around the bush? I’ve already given you the Spirit Stones, just tell me when I can break through to the Golden Core Realm!" Xiaoqing demanded.

"The breakthrough is now! Take three steps back, sit down at the City Lord Mansion’s entrance, operate your cultivation technique, and what you wish for in your heart will come true." Zhang Xiaohao said blandly.

"Is this really true?" Xiaoqing’s eyes lit up.

"Mm." Zhang Xiaohao nodded heavily.

"You better not be lying to me, or else I’ll make sure you suffer!" Leaving a harsh word, Xiaoqing could no longer contain the excitement in her heart and joyfully ran towards the City Lord Mansion entrance.

A few seconds later, Xiaoqing stopped at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion and, under the puzzled gazes of the surrounding guards, sat down cross-legged on the ground.
