Currently, for Chen Fei, any problem solvable with money was not considered a significant issue.
Of course, the vast sum of elemental stone was still beyond Chen Fei's reach at that time, but even considering the value of the Green Cane Dew and Purple Melody Saliva, it wouldn't have fetched that kind of price.
They were still merely at the stage of spiritual materials, albeit rare.
Observing Nie Xinru's lone arrival at Bianhu City to sell items, the crucial point lay in her aura. Despite the concealment through magical treasures, Chen Fei still discerned the truth of her unhealed injuries.
Combining these two points, many situations had become quite easy to speculate.
Hence, Chen Fei hadn't been interested in hearing about any second method; he had preferred to straightforwardly purchase these two spiritual materials with Elemental stone, the most direct approach.
Chen Fei's direct refusal had caused Nie Xinru's smile to freeze on her face.
