Chi!

The light became s.h.i.+ny and sparkly. Everyone"s eyes widened in surprise at the sudden radiance.

"Little Bing, what"s wrong?" The old man was also shocked and asked anxiously.

The young girl closed her mouth instinctively. The next moment, the ice cream, which had been simmering, melted suddenly. It released an icy coldness into her mouth.

In an instant, she simultaneously felt both hot and cold sensations in her mouth. The unique and fine taste of the ice cream made her feel comfortable and at ease.

The young girl closed her eyes slowly to enjoy the delicacy in her mouth carefully. The hotness and coldness flowed into her body slowly through her throat.

Boom!

All of a sudden, a silent boom abruptly sounded in her brain.

The young girl was surprised slightly, so she opened her eyes suddenly. Her tranquility had been restored, but she was extremely comfortable and it seemed that her body was full of energy.

"Grandpa, I…" Looking at the old man beside her, she was about to tell what had happened just now. However, she found her grandpa was looking at her in great surprise with his eyes open wide.

The young girl was shocked again, so she asked in a hurry, "Grandpa, what"s wrong with you?"

The old man didn"t reply to her. Instead, he grabbed the shoulders of the young girl. With shaky hands and watery eyes, he said excitedly, "Little Bing, your… your sickness has finally been cured!"

Poof!

Xu Que, who had been drinking water, couldn"t help but spit out the water after hearing the old man"s words.

d.a.m.n! This touching atmosphere has been totally ruined by the words of the old man!

However, the old man was overjoyed. His heart was filled with shock and disbelief!

The young girl"s body had experienced a great change after eating only a spoonful of ice cream. When she opened her eyes again, everyone except for the girl herself could see clearly that a lump of purple light was s.h.i.+ning between her eyebrows.

This was the symbol of a Spiritual Root. Moreover, this was not an ordinary Spiritual Root. It was definitely the Heavenly Water Spiritual Root!

…

Outside the store, the onlookers who were watching this scene through the gla.s.s windows were totally stunned.

"I am definitely dreaming now!" someone murmured.

"I also feel like I am dreaming now!"

"It"s amazing!"

"The ice cream helped that girl to generate a Water Spiritual Root!"

"Please, look carefully! That"s not a normal Water Spiritual Root! Look at that purple light. That"s the symbol of a Celestial Spiritual Root. It is a genuine Heavenly Water Spiritual Root!"

"Something big will happen!"

"It will absolutely shock the world!"

"It is totally earth-shattering!"

All onlookers couldn"t stay calm anymore and kept exclaiming.

Finally, those bigshots came to their senses. They had prepared to obtain Supreme Member cards after checking the ice cream"s effects, and after being dumbfounded for a little while, now understood what they had to do.

Soon, they started to anxiously elbow their way to the door of the store, shouting, "General Zhuge, please open the door. We are here to obtain the Supreme Member cards!"

"General Zhuge, we have taken the Spirit Stones with us, now they are yours!"

"Sh*t! Chang, don"t jump the queue, I got here first!"

"Bulls.h.i.+t! I didn"t jump the line! Liu, I can hold back to give you more opportunities in business. But here, don"t even think about it!"

Several bigshots were making quite a racket at the gate. They even started to push and pull at each other.

The onlookers were shocked by this scene.

These are high and mighty figures! Why don"t they care about their image and their reputation?

…

At the same time, the old man was holding Xu Que"s hands excitedly and kept thanking him incoherently.

After all, by giving the girl a Spiritual Root, Xu Que had created a miracle akin to an act of G.o.d! Moreover, the Spiritual Root he had generated was a Heavenly Water Spiritual Root. Anyone who received this treatment would cry of joy.

"Sir, don"t be so excited. If you take a bite, I am guessing you will be even more excited! Please, open your mouth and try it," Xu Que said with a smile. He took a spoonful of ice cream to the old man.

The old man was shocked a bit, then he took the spoon hurriedly and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for your help, General Zhuge!"

After that, he put the ice cream into his mouth.

The next moment, light also began to radiate from his mouth.

The old man became energetic immediately. The white hair of his sideburns became darker.

After that, the light faded and no Spiritual Root appeared again.

After all, there had only been a small chance for a new Spiritual Root to be created, it couldn"t happen every time. The old man"s granddaughter was very lucky to have so coincidentally obtained the Spiritual Root.

Even so, the onlookers could clearly sense the change in momentum of the old man. He was very vibrant for his Spiritual Root had been refined.

"It is really marvelous! I can just sense the opportunity to make a breakthrough! It seems I don"t need to wait a long time before getting to the next level," exclaimed the old man.

Looking at the effects, the onlookers were very envious.

The bigshots who were quarreling at the gate grew even more excited and couldn"t wait to obtain member cards.

If they could enjoy this marvelous effect as well, they would definitely be able to attain better achievements in cultivation in future, which could even increase their lifespans remarkably.

Xu Que walked to the gate smilingly and shouted to the bigshots, "That"s enough, stop arguing. It"s late now, come get your member cards tomorrow! Remember, only twenty people can get the card, and now there are only nineteen left. First come, first served!"

Hearing that, those bigshots descended into chaos.

"Don"t do that, General Zhuge! It"s still early now. Just let us obtain the card first!"

"Right! More people will come tomorrow; we might not be lucky enough to be in the top nineteen."

"For the sake of our early appearance, please let us obtain member cards!"

The bigshots were smiling unctuously. In front of Xu Que, all of them had gotten off their high horses.

Xu Que raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly. "Then why didn"t you obtain your cards earlier? You have been acting as onlookers for a long a time after arriving, yet now you want to obtain the cards. It"s too late. I am tired now and I am going to close the store!"

"No, General Zhuge, we were wrong!"

"Exactly! It is we who should be blamed. Please be magnanimous and let us obtain the cards."

"We have brought the Spirit Stones with us!"

The bigshots started to implore him hurriedly.

At this moment, all of them had gotten off their high horses. In front of such a great potential fortune, no one could afford to be arrogant.

After hearing of the Spirit Stones, Xu Que smiled speculatively and asked, "You have brought the Spirit Stones, right? How many Spirit Stones have you brought?"

"One hundred and fifty million," one of the big shots answered confidently.

Without any hesitation, Xu Que said, "That"s not enough!"

"What?" the big shots were completely shocked.

Isn"t the price for a Supreme Member Card one hundred million Spirit Stones? How can it not be enough?

"The price has been raised. You need two hundred million Spirit Stones to get a Supreme Member Card! Now you can go!"

After finis.h.i.+ng his words, Xu Que turned around and left, showing his back to them.

Those bigshots were totally dumbfounded.

Two… two hundred million?

You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, Zhuge Liang!

We have been waiting here for ages!

And how dare you raise the price… by doubling the d.a.m.n thing?
