The rationale behind the naming of the Ivy Academy was that there was a famous ivy tree in the grounds of the academy. Every part of the ivy tree could be used as a precious medicine—it could be used to create the Elixir of Life!

　　Even if it was an ivy of an inferior grade, it would still be considerably costly and valuable in the World of Near Celestials! The price set by the Ivy Academy was established as the lowest rate, which prevented the other two academies from setting lower prices!

　　The master from the Jiuhe Academy frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth as he made up his mind, “Wait a minute, Jiuhe Academy is willing to produce a bottle of Jiuhe Holy Water, in addition to 20,000 Spiritual Crystals, in exchange for the Floral Dew!”

　　Jiuhe Holy Water was a well-known product of the Jiuhe Academy. There was no differentiation in its grades. It was a treasure for refining and improving the quality of the Elixir of Life. Even if it was just one bottle, its value was on a par with the ivy of inferior grade!

　　“Both of you are extremely well-heeled!” An Elder from the Dongsheng Academy began laughing awkwardly with a long face.

　　Among the three academies, Dongsheng Academy didn’t produce any famous specialties. They were well-known for their battle capabilities and topped the three academies with their fighting prowess! But that didn’t mean they would acknowledge defeat. Even though they had no specialty, they had a huge volume of Spiritual Crystals.

　　“Xu Que, Dongsheng Academy is willing to exchange 100,000 Spiritual Crystals and an Inferior Elixir of Life for your Floral Dew!” The Elder from the Dongsheng Academy spoke with confidence.

　　The value of 100,000 Spiritual Crystals and an Inferior Elixir of Life were not inferior to an ivy of inferior grade or even the Jiuhe Holy Water!

　　After all of them had finished their bidding, Xu Que didn’t bother to choose from any of them as he immediately nodded and said, “All right, I’m satisfied with all of the conditions given from all three academies. It’s a deal!”

　　After that, Xu Que retracted his hand and withdrew millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes. He was ready to trade. All those present were in complete disbelief; they thought that Xu Que was just horsing around, they didn’t know he was serious about the deal!

　　“Wow, dude, look at our situation now, you’re still thinking of making a fortune now?”

　　“You shouldn’t take this kind of money. If you give them the Floral Dew, they won’t be afraid of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes!” Buttface and Duan Jiude glared and shouted at him.

　　The Sect Leader of the Utmost Happiness Faction was also anxious and began to advise him, “My friend, Xu Que, don’t be impulsive, you must resist temptation!”

　　“Everything will be all right. I’m a merciful person, and I don’t want to kill people with the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes. It’s really inhumane.” Xu Que waved his hand and spoke with an air of benevolence and compassion.

　　Everyone’s lips twitched, they almost spat on him.

　　He has the guts to say he is benevolent?

　　“Xu Que, how do you want to trade?” At that time, the people of the three academies looked at Xu Que and shouted. They knew that they had to buy the Floral Dew. Even if there weren’t any Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes, they thought it was a good deal!

　　“Don’t you have a small Teleportation Device? Send your things over and I’ll send my Floral Dew over too!” Xu Que smiled and made a Taoist seal, which easily broke the Trap Array that was trapping Liu Jingning and those from the Utmost Happiness Faction. Under their Trap Array was a small Teleportation Device!

　　When those from the three academies saw that, they didn’t hesitate and nodded agreement with that form of exchange. Hence, that exchange, which was a little like extortion, went smoothly! Unexpectedly, both sides were satisfied with what they had gotten, and there was no double-crossing.

　　That made those watching a little bit confused, and they secretly thought that it wasn’t a plausible situation. If Xu Que didn’t double-cross, was that even him?

　　“Duan Old Man, what do you think? Something about that dude doesn’t feel right!” Buttface questioned Duan Jiude about his suspicions.

　　Duan Jiude shook his head. “I didn’t understand either. That dude has too many tricks up his sleeves. It’s hard to figure out what he’s up to!”

　　On the other hand, Xu Que was full of joy as he checked on what he had received: an ivy rich with Spiritual Qi, a bottle of sparkling and clear river water, and more than 100,000 Spiritual Crystals.

　　“Little brat, what are you planning?” Liu Jingning walked up to his side and looked at him with a trace of slyness in her eyes, as she faintly smiled.

　　With her understanding of Xu Que, that fellow certainly wouldn’t let those Immortal Cultivators off that easily.

　　“What else can I plan? I’m a serious businessman, all right? I do business with my conscience, I’ll never trick anyone!” Xu Que immediately sat up straight and puffed out his chest.

　　The more insistent he was, the more Liu Jingning and the others felt that the matter wasn’t simple. That guy must be plotting something!

　　Bang!

　　At that moment, Xu Que suddenly put aside the ivy and the Spiritual Crystals. He pulled out millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes and put them directly into the Arrayl!

　　Everyone’s eyelids twitched at once! The aces from the three academies in the Trap and Kill Array were shocked by his sudden move.

　　“Xu Que, what are you doing?”

　　“We’ve all traded with you. What else do you want?” One of the aces hollered at him out of frustration.

　　Xu Que blinked innocently, “No, the deal is a deal, the battle still has to be fought!”

　　“Humph!”

　　The people of the three academies immediately sneered, but there was no panic. They instantly opened the Floral Dew and sprayed it on their bodies! They had checked the Floral Dew previously and there wasn’t any poisonous substance in it. Although they couldn’t understand why the mosquitoes feared it, since they had bought it, they might as well use it!

　　Bang!

　　Sure enough, after all the people in the three academies had the Floral Dew on them, the millions of mosquitoes, as though they had encountered ghosts, were retreating crazily; pushing hard to the edge of the spell, trying to escape!

　　Those from the three academies were overjoyed and laughed loudly. “Ha, ha, Xu Que, you’re a foolish idiot!”

　　“Originally, we were very afraid of your Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes. Who knew, you had destroyed your strongest weapon in exchange for some Spiritual Crystals and medicinal materials!”

　　“Stupidity has no cure! When we break open the spell and force you to hand over the Drunken Immortal Perfume; we’ll pay you back 100 times over!”

　　Many of the Immortal Cultivators laughed happily, free from any inhibitions.

　　Xu Que’s lips turned up slightly, and he recalled millions of Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes into his Beast Soul Bag.

　　“Ha, ha, without the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes, how else can you suppress us?”

　　“The reason why he’s a nonentity is because his outlook of the world is too narrow; he sees no further than his nose!”

　　“He’s ridiculous! Ha, ha, ha!”

　　Many of the Immortal Cultivators continued to laugh as they vented their anger with their words!

　　The onlookers present were in a daze; Buttface and Duan Jiude were a little confused.

　　“Dude, are you crazy? Your Holiness thought you gave them the fake Floral Dew. How could you give them the real deal?”

　　“It’s all over. Without the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes, how are we going to defeat them!”

　　Buttface and Duan Jiude shook their heads non-stop.

　　Xu Que smiled and remained silent. When he put away his Beast Soul Bag, he began to observe the surroundings, as if he were enjoying the scenery, or as if he were waiting for something.

　　Buzz buzz buzz!

　　Suddenly, a dense buzzing sound resonated from the distance. It was very loud and made quite a din. It made everyone’s hair stand on end!

　　“Uh, what’s going on?”

　　“Something is flying over!”

　　“What’s that?”

　　Everyone heard the noise and started searching in all directions—with the exception of Buttface and Duan Jiude, who were confused only for a second. They had recognized the source of the sound and their jaws had dropped!

　　“Oh sh*t!”

　　“Oh sh*t! Oh sh*t!”

　　This man and this dog expressed their adoration immediately; they looked at Xu Que and shouted in an exaggerated manner, “Boss Xu is awesome!”

　　Boom!

　　The next moment, a large black shadow appeared in the faraway sky. It had bright golden rays beaming out of it— and it was obviously far larger than the volume of the Heaven-Devouring Demonic Mosquitoes—as it made an appearance with a suffocating yet grand and majestic manner, sweeping across the sky overwhelmingly!

　　Instantly, many Immortal Cultivators in the Trap and Kill Array tensed up, their expressions frozen, their pupils contracted sharply, as they screamed out in horror, “Holy Golden Armored Hornets?”
