Chapter 134 Picking Up Jades Like Cabbages
Chapter 134 Picking Up Jades Like Cabbages
" It looks like Jia Qing's luck is pretty good, huh?"
" Indeed, To manage to get two Abstract Intent Jades continuously, he is more than lucky."
Li Qingxin grinned when she saw everyone's attention was on Jia Qing and her. " Brother Jia, You are really awesome. How did you do that?"
" Well, I have an ancient mirror which I got from my adventure. With the help of this, I can deduce which stone is filled with jade and which ones are busts."
" Oh my god! Brother Jia really came prepared, huh?" Li Qingxin's eyes sparkled with joy.
When she saw Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin's attention was on Jia Qing, her lips curled into disdain.
" Hmph, Brother Jia was kind enough to ask some people to join, But guess, they are just blind to pass this chance."
Jia Qing understood who Li Qingxin was targeting. However, he only smiled and didn't refute it at all.
" Jia Qing only spent 100,000 High grade spirit stones. Yet, that jade is worth more than 600,000 High grade Spirit Stones."
" That's the charm of gambling. You can either make a thousand times of your initial amount, or you will return without a single spirit stone."
" Very true."
" That pair of bastards…" Ming Yuexin snorted when she heard that. Long Ming also narrowed his eyes. " Indeed, Some people are just full of shit."
" Don't worry about those guys." Mu Qinglian sighed as she turned around. " Li Qingxin always tried to oppose me. So, it's nothing new. Just ignore them."
" Really?"
Suddenly, Long Ming's ear rang as a blue colored screen appeared before him.
[ Ding! Infinite Star Roulette started to spin! Randomly selecting a system!]
[ System is selected! Initializing new System!]
Suddenly, Long Ming's surroundings vanished as he stood in the void. Suddenly, with an explosion, the primordial chaos appeared before him.
' Wow, I got a system pretty fast. I thought it would take a few days before I get a new system. But it's good nonetheless.' Long Ming pondered.
However, the scene in front of him was mesmerizing, making him gaze into the birth of countless secrets from Primordial Chaos.
[ The world is unfair, and so is the judgment of heaven. Talent exists, Wealth exists, knowledge exists, so the impartiality exists]
[ A true genius can grasp all of them. With a first determination and a bit of luck, even a beggar can become an emperor, a mortal can become a divine being]
[ Welcome to the Heavenly Genius System!]
[ Host needs to complete the quests given by the system. There would be both reward and penalty for quests]
[The first quest has been issued]
[ No Flaunting Before Me]
[ Ding! Some unsightly beings are flapping their wings before Host. Host need to rip their wings and crush them like ants]
[ Reward: Welcoming Reward]
[ Failure: Nullification of System. Host will be unable to get a system for next ten years]
[ You might get extra reward if you manage to trigger more people]
Long Ming's lips curled when he saw the quest. He understood who are these unsightly beings.
[ Ding! Great Crow of Dark Mystery is looking at you with anticipation]
" Great Crow of Dark Mystery?" Long Ming was dumbfounded. ' Why do I feel I know about him?'
Shaking his thoughts, Long Ming looked at the various shops selling Abstract Stones.
His Heavenly Revelation Eyes revolved as he could see the aura of various colors on the Abstract Stones. Some are bright, some are dim, and some are even giving a powerful aura.
" Sister Mu, Come with me."
Long Ming chuckled as he saw a good stone near Jia Qing and Li Qingxin. Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin nodded when they heard Long Ming.
" Huh? Look at them."
" Are they from Four Seasons Valley?"
Long Ming pointed at a smooth stone, as large as a watermelon.
" This one… How much for this?"
" Hoho, Young Master really got sharp eyes." The shopkeeper was elated. This stone was directly excavated from the center of Blue Mines. So, the chances of having an Abstract Jade is pretty high."
" Just tell me how much for this one?" Long Ming asked impatiently.
" Just, one million high grade spirit stones."
" One million?"
" Damn it, That's too much."
Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin frowned when they heard the price. " One million high grade spirit stones? That's too much."
" Alright."
To their surprise, Long Ming didn't show much expression as he piled the spirit stones in front of the shopkeeper and took the Abstract Stone.
" Thank you, Young Master. If you wish, Shall I ask our professionals to cut it open?" The shopkeeper's smile turned bright.
With Long Ming's permission, they slowly cut the stone.
" One million high grade spirit stones! I wonder if there is any jade inside that?"
" Hehe, if it turns out to be a bust, they are done for."
Suddenly, a yellow colored light erupted from the stone as a flashy brown colored crystal appeared before them.
" Oh my goodness! Such clarity and radiance!"
" Grade three! It's a Grade three Earth type Abstract Intent Jade!"
" Such pure Earth energy. It's perfect for Earth attribute cultivators!"
" That alone costs more than eight million high grade spirit stones!"
" Eight million!?"
Jia Qing and Li Qingxin's expressions turned stiff when they saw that. They didn't expect Long Ming to score that big.
" Tch, It's only a grade three Abstract Intent Jade." Long Ming snorted lightly as he threw the jade toward Ming Yuexin. " Sister Ming, keep it. We should look for better Abstract Intent Jades."
" Better?"
Ming Yuexin and Mu Qinglian were in a daze when they heard Long Ming's words. A grade three Abstract Intent Jade which is the size of a fist isn't good enough?
Long Ming chuckled when he heard everyone's reaction. " Well, Only peasants get excited when they score peanuts. If they have guts, why not play big?"
Everyone looked at Jia Qing and Li Qingxin, who were trembling with rage. Long Ming's words are naturally directed at them.
" Hoho, Junior, You just got lucky. However, you shouldn't act so prideful."
Everyone turned around as they saw an old man walking toward Jia Qing and Li Qingxin.
" Uncle Hao!" Jia Qing's expression turned elated when he saw that.
" Who is that old man?"
" I remember! I think he is Jia Hao, He is the current owner of Star Antique Shop of Holy Qilin City."
" Star Antique Shop? Could it be, that he is that appraiser Jia Hao?"
" Indeed."
Jia Hao walked toward Jia Qing and he nodded. " Well, I was also here to purchase some Abstract Intent Jade. When I heard you were also here, I came to meet you."
" Heh, It looks like the young one couldn't fight, so he asked to summon the old one." Long Ming didn't back as he taunted Jia Qing.
After all, even a Nine Transformation of Soul Realm can't do anything openly in Azure Fragrance City. There are many powers hiding inside the Azure Fragrance City.
" Hmph, It looks like you didn't know how to respect the elderly." Jia Hao's eyes turned cold when he heard Long Ming's words.
" What's the point of being elderly? If you have skills, then showcase it." Long Ming laughed as he turned around. " Sister Mu, Sister Ming, Let's go and buy some more."
Jia Hao's expression changed when he saw Long Ming didn't give him any face at all. Jia Qing was also angry as he shouted.
" Wait, Long! How dare you disrespect my uncle?" He snorted. " Even the Imperial Family of Holy Qilin Empire recognize my uncle as a skilled appraiser."
" Yeah, So, What should I do?" Long Ming shrugged. " Well, If you want to have a match, then why not?"
" Match?" Jia Hao was stunned and he started to laugh. " Brat, You think you can match with me after getting lucky once?"
Long Ming grinned as he saw Jia Qing and Jia Hao finally fall into his trap. " Just tell me, Are you in or not?"
" Hmph! Let me show you my skills." Jia Hao took the ancient mirror from Jia Qing's hand as he walked toward the pile of Abstract Stones.
" Ahh, I thought that treasure was something Young Sword of Green Cloud got from his journey." Long Ming chuckled. " Who would have thought, the treasure was something he borrowed from his uncle?"
Everyone's expression turned strange when they heard Long Ming. Looking at the action of Jia Hao, his usage of the ancient mirror was pretty smooth. That means he knew how to utilize it properly.
Jia Qing's expression turned red when he felt the crowd's gaze.
" Hmph, This stone. I can guarantee there is a high quality jade here."? Jia Qing announced. " How much this is?"
" Around 500,000 High grade spirit stones."
" I am taking it."
When they cut the jade, a blue colored radiance shone out from the rock.
" This… This is a grade three water type Abstract Intent Jade."
" Hoho, Jia Hao really lives up to his name."
Jia Hao laughed loudly when he saw that. " Did you see that, kiddo? This is called appraisal."
However, Jia Hao felt something was wrong as the majority of the crowd was around Long Ming.
" This, This… And this one. I want them all." Long Ming casually selected a couple of stones.
" Young Master, Total would be ten million high grade spirit stones."
" Well, That's cheap." Long Ming sighed as he handed him a spatial ring. " Open them all."
The shopkeeper felt like the god of wealth appeared before him. He hurriedly called his servants to make sitting arrangements for Long Ming and his two female companions.
As the stones were sliced open, the crowd became stunned.
" All…All of? them are Grade three Abstract Intent Jades!"
" Not to mention, just look at the sizes! They are bigger than a palm!"
" Damn it! What kind of dogshit luck is that?!"
" Luck? Do you still think that young man is just lucky?"
" He also has superb appraisal skills! Not to mention, His profit was more than five times his investment."
Long Ming looked at them as he sighed. " Shopkeeper, I think you are a scammer."
" Hu-Huh? Young Master, How can I be a scammer?" The owner stammered when he heard Long Ming.
" I thought there might be a Grade One Abstract Spirit Jade here. Yet, These are all grade three ones." Long Ming sighed. " I guess I need to change the shop."
" Well…"
The crowd felt like their palms were itching after seeing Long Ming's nonchalant attitude. He is casually spending tens of millions like pocket change.
" I heard he is the True Disciple of Four Seasons Valley?"
" Since when did Four Seasons Valley got so rich?"
" Damn it, Just look at him. Even his steps are so graceful."
Mu Qinglian and Ming Yuexin were both in a daze. They just gathered the Abstract Intet Jades and followed Long Ming.
Long Ming looked at Jia Qing and Jia Hao,? " Eh? You found only one jade after spending so much time?"
" Yo-You?"
Long Ming laughed as he didn't bother with them. " If you want to bet, How about we bet on that one?"
Everyone looked at the pile of stones Long Ming pointing at. Rather than looking like an Abstract Stone, they looked like deep black mountain granites.
" Do you dare to bet on that one?" Long Ming chuckled.
