Chapter 113: Purple Rock

A purple rock sat on the center of the plate. It was shiny and slightly larger than an adult’s fist.

“Purple Heart of Spirit.”

“My goodness; it’s massive.”

“Such a thing actually exists? I thought it’s just a legend.”

After a few quiet moments, everybody got riled up as their greed grew, drooling as they stared at the purple Heart of Spirit.

“Hearts of Spirit can be purple?” Xia Fei asked Phantom in his consciousness.

Phantom seemed to have been reminded of something as he replied with a tone of sadness, “Yes, Hearts of Spirit can be blue or purple. Apparently, purple Hearts of Spirit contain one hundred to one hundred fifty times more energy than their blue counterparts and are exceedingly rare, though purple ones are a lot more volatile than blue ones, so they don’t really have much use.

With a flick of his wrist, old man Ning covered the purple Heart of Spirit with the red cloth again. “Everyone, I, Ning Baichen, is a man of my words. Anyone who wants this purple Heart of Spirit will have to provide me with Scar’s head in exchange.”

Everyone in the hall was excited. With this big payment in front of them, they were eager to get Scar’s head.

“No matter what Scar does this time, his death is all but assured. Old man Ning sure is vicious; ensuring that he’ll get Scar’s head by bringing out this purple Heart of Spirit.”

Ning Baichen was incredibly sly. He thoroughly understood the greed in humans’ hearts. By bringing out this huge reward, it did not only
