Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!-Chapter 640 - 391: The Lion’s Big Mouth
"Five million spirit stones! That's highway robbery!"
"Well, it's Chang Shiyang's own fault for seeking his death, recklessly provoking others with his Divine Sense. He can't blame anyone else for the harsh price. If his skills are inferior, he must accept defeat."
"Five million spirit stones, master, I didn't realize you elders were so wealthy! The total wealth of my inner disciple status doesn't even amount to one-thousandth of this five million spirit stones."
"The wealthy one isn't an elder, but rather the identity of the Blood Demon Cave's Saint Heir; don't get it confused, us normal cultivators in the Secret Realm don't have that kind of wealth."
"Su Jie is ruthless and fierce, no wonder he could rise from the ranks of Ghost Ridge Palace. Chang Shiyang has greatly underestimated him!"
The crowd of onlookers gasped when they heard Su Jie mention the figure of five million spirit stones; the temperature around seemed to drop several degrees.
Five million spirit stones, a vast fortune that most cultivators in the Secret Realm could not amass in their entire lifetime.
Ordinary cultivators in the Secret Realm only had around one to two hundred thousand spirit stones to their name, and their weapons were generally at the Magic Artifact Level. Even a Low Grade Magical Treasure would require at least a million spirit stones, something the vast majority of cultivators in the Secret Realm could not afford to use.
It could be said that the figure of five million spirit stones made many cultivators present breathe heavily.
If it were any other cultivator in the Secret Realm, even those at the Secret Realm Fifth Level, there would be some among the onlookers daring to entertain the thought of taking it for themselves, pondering how to get their hands on it.
But the strength that Su Jie had just demonstrated, suppressing Di Xiu with one hand and stepping on Chang Shiyang with the other, showed an invincible prowess, convincing everyone to keep their thoughts to themselves—no one dared to act, no one dared to go to Su Jie and court death.
"Gentlemen, I am Elder Xue Xin from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Heavenly Soul Sect. Mr. Chang, Mr. Di, this incident was initially your Blood Demon Cave's fault, so..."
Elder Xue Xin from the Heavenly Soul Sect, who had just arrived and was a strong cultivator of the Secret Realm Fifth Level, coughed twice, glancing at Chang Shiyang and Di Xiu, whose expressions were uncertain.
He had already learned the full story from Li Chunhai. Not to mention that Su Jie was in the right, Su Jie now had the absolute advantage due to his great strength. In the Demon Path, only strength and power were honored; this debt had no choice but to be paid to avoid disaster.
"Five million spirit stones is too much, how about three million..."
Di Xiu couldn't help but speak out, his face filled with difficulty.
"Of course, that's possible. For a reduction of one million spirit stones, I'll extract one of his souls, and I won't let you be at a loss."
Su Jie 'kindly' bargained, his spirit pressure bursting forth; the might of his Primordial Spirit at the God Unification Level caused everyone present to sweat profusely.
Even Di Xiu and Xue Xin, the two top elders with Fifth Level Cultivation of the Secret Realm, felt an immense pressure, filled with shock in their eyes.
Reaching God Unification Realm in cultivation of the Primordial Spirit is a realm attainable only by those at the Taoist Platform Realm.
The onlookers immediately recognized why Su Jie was bestowed with the title of Qingzhou's Number One Immortal Seed; just the Primordial Spirit he revealed made the title well-deserved.
Atrail of three flowers gathered atop Su Jie's head, and his indistinguishable Primordial Spirit slowly emerged. With a single press of his hand, the pervasive Soul Power formed a giant hand, which pierced into Chang Shiyang's skull.
A scream was heard as from Chang Shiyang's head, a chibi version of Chang Shiyang, only slightly larger than a baby, appeared in the palm, forcibly extracting Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit from the physical body.
When compared to Su Jie's life-size Primordial Spirit, possessing the same acupoints, blood vessels, meridians, and nerves exactly like his physical body and appearing as a real person...
Chang Shiyang's infant-sized, semi-illusory Primordial Spirit seemed incapable of struggling or moving and was completely crushed by sheer power.
Firm spiritual fingers turned into blades, ready to sever Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit, aiming to remove the Earth Soul and the Heavenly Soul from his three souls and seven spirits.
One must know, it is only with the three souls and seven spirits forming the soul, can a body possess intelligence and the capability for movement.
If Su Jie were to extract two souls, Chang Shiyang's body would merely be a breathing vegetable, barely alive, much like a living dead, without consciousness.
"No, Uncle Di, save me, I don't want to die, I am willing to pay for my life."

The chibi version of Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit turned pale with fear; his illusory figure flickered and was on the verge of collapse.
"We... we'll pay."
Di Xiu glanced at Su Jie's indifferent face, then at Chang Shiyang, who was begging for mercy in Su Jie's hand, and he could only grit his teeth resolutely.
This sum of money was incredibly painful even for their status.
But at this moment, Di Xiu dared not bet on Su Jie being willing or not to kill. He could not afford the consequences of Chang Shiyang becoming an imbecile. If he were to return with him in such a state, he would be unable to explain it to the Sect Master, leaving him with no choice but to buy his way out.
The identity of Chang Shiyang as a Saint Heir clearly didn't matter at all to the man before him.
"Sensible. While Elder Xue of the Heavenly Soul Sect is present as a witness, pay up."
Su Jie snapped his fingers, toying with Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit in his palm, kneading and twisting, tormenting it mercilessly, causing Chang Shiyang to scream out in agony, which also made Di Xiu's expression increasingly wretched, experiencing a sense of humiliation stronger than he ever felt since entering the Secret Realm.
But now, beneath the eaves, Di Xiu could only shakily reach for his Storage Bag, taking out one Top Grade Spirit Stone after another, along with various spiritual materials.
"Not enough!"
Su Jie swept his Divine Sense over the contents, intensifying his grip on Chang Shiyang's Primordial Spirit, causing crack after crack to appear, resembling fragile porcelain that would shatter if this continued.
"Ease up your hand, I'm gathering it."
Di Xiu brought out more spiritual materials that even pained himself, but it still wasn't enough.
With no other choice, Di Xiu took the Storage Bag from Chang Shiyang's physical body, retrieved Chang Shiyang's stockpile of spirit stones and spiritual materials, and finally managed to gather five million spirit stones, even paying extra due to Su Jie's insistence that it wasn't enough.
