"100,000 gold coins and 50 demon crystals, that's no small amount! Even for her, it's a huge sum!" The onlookers gasped at the wager. Either one of those items would be a hefty price for many cultivators, yet Baili Hongzhuang put both of them on the line.
Just the confidence she displayed was enough to shock everyone. They knew how peculiar the temperament of the stall owner was, and he wouldn't be interested in ordinary things.
The question remained: was Baili Hongzhuang truly confident, or was she just bluffing to deceive Ling Jiaxin?
Regardless of the answer, they were certain that Baili Hongzhuang was a wealthy individual!
Ling Jiaxin stood still, her pretty face filled with embarrassment and hesitation. She had initiated this challenge herself, and if she didn't respond in front of so many cultivators, it would be too humiliating.
Ling Jiaxin's gaze focused intently on Baili Hongzhuang's face, trying to glean some clues from her expression. However, Baili Hongzhuang remained calm and composed, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth, revealing nothing about her true thoughts.
"Oh, no courage now?" Baili Hongzhuang threw the same words back at Ling Jiaxin, adding to the irony.
A faint snicker could be heard from the crowd. It wasn't uncommon for cultivators to be humiliated in clashes, but it was rare to see someone turn the tables so quickly and deliver a resounding slap in return.
"This Baili Hongzhuang is quite unique. Ling Jiaxin really had bad luck picking a fight with her."
"Haha, I didn't expect Baili Hongzhuang to have such a personality. I heard that she cured the poison that even Vice Principal Cui Haoyan couldn't handle. She's not only talented in cultivation but also skilled in medicine."
"I heard about that too. Baili Hongzhuang is not only a gifted cultivator but also a divine doctor!"
As news of the special enrollment spread throughout Canglan Academy, the incidents involving Cui Haoyan and Bai Junyu's severe injuries became known to the entire academy.
The news of her detoxification abilities quickly followed, revealing that the new special enrollment student was a renowned physician.
Listening to the grating laughter around her, Ling Jiaxin's eyes filled with anger. It was highly possible that Baili Hongzhuang was intentionally trying to scare her. If she agreed, it would likely be Baili Hongzhuang who ended up being dumbfounded.
She wouldn't be foolish enough to be played around by Baili Hongzhuang like that!
With this in mind, Ling Jiaxin sneered, "I accept the bet!"
With 100,000 gold coins and 50 demon crystals at stake, once they fell into her hands, she would gain a significant amount of cultivation resources.
"Wow..."
More and more cultivators gathered to watch the spectacle, and even the stall owners who weren't doing business came over to join in the excitement.
Baili Hongzhuang raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a seductive smile. "It's a deal."
"Don't worry, we'll be witnesses!" A man's loud voice rang out from the crowd.
Immediately, everyone started patting their chests and exclaimed, "That's right! We'll be witnesses!"
Only then did Baili Hongzhuang approach the stall owner. The previously resting stall owner opened his eyes under the gaze of so many people, his eyes landing on Baili Hongzhuang and Ling Jiaxin.
"Stall owner, what are you interested in?" Baili Hongzhuang asked. She needed to know the stall owner's preferences to decide what she could use to exchange for the bet.
"Pills, weapons, armor, equipment—anything related to cultivation. But I'm especially interested in items related to cultivation," the stall owner replied.
