Gu Huaying was very efficient. In less than an hour, she returned with a Treasure Chest.
Opening the box revealed a strange, black-and-white stone.
"It really is the Heaven and Earth Stone. With this, I have what I need for the Heaven-Devouring Sect," Ning Jiang said as he accepted the Treasure Chest. "I'll remember this favor I owe you."
"Your word is enough, Young Master Ning." Gu Huaying chuckled. "After the Celestial Treasure Auction is over, I'll find you, and we can explore the Ancient Ruins together."
"Alright."
Ning Jiang nodded, then bid Gu Huaying farewell and left.
After he left, the middle-aged man at her side asked, "Miss, a single Heaven and Earth Stone is worth at least tens of millions of Upper Grade Spirit Stones. Is it really wise to just give it to him?"
