Chapter 621: End of the Shopping Spree

“Sir… Y-you really want to buy it? Buy the whole stone?” That staff member exclaimed.
“Yes, the whole rock and everything I selected just now!” Ling Yun pointed to the cart.
“However, I’m not done picking yet, I want to go another round…”
Ling Yun only managed to see one-third of the store. He could take his time now that he knew no one was going to compete with him.
That staff member’s face turned bitter. Why did he bother wasting his saliva on Ling Yun? He didn’t even listen!
He sucked in as he looked at the whole cart of trash Ling Yun chose. Disgust was written all over his face.
“Sigh, forget it, I can only count myself unlucky today…” He admitted defeat.
Ling Yun knew why the staff member was feeling that way, but he didn’t make any gestures. He pushed the cart and walked back to the event.
Ling Yun called Tang Meng over.
“Stop looking at the event. These are stones that I’ve chosen. I’m buying all of them. Guard them for me…”
Tang Meng was amazed. “Big Brother Yun, are you kidding? You gathered all this rubbish after so long?”
The staff member rejoiced, finally, someone who understood him. They seemed to be of the same age, but why was it that Ling Yun didn’t understand?
Sigh, so what if he has money? So what if he’s handsome? He’s going to squander all his money at this rate… He’s the kind that would bring the whole family down with him…
The staff member was of good moral character and couldn’t feel worse about Ling Yun.
“Guard them, see how I deal with you if any of them is missing when I get back!” Ling Yun glared.
And domineering too! The staff member added to his impression of Ling Yun.
Ling Yun got him to get another cart as he went about his spree. He even asked Tang Meng to give Tie Xiaohu a call to get his brothers here to help.
Ling Yun didn’t want their help in picking stones. Stones the size of a basketball, weighing forty to fifty kilograms, were like steamed buns to him.
Moreover, there weren’t so many spirit stones. It was really one in a thousand. Eighty percent of the stones in his cart now were placed there because Ling Yun saw jade in them through his Yin-Yang Eye.
Ling Yun called Tie Xiaohu over to look after his stuff for him, as well as to settle the more mundane matters for him.
The second round of selection went a lot faster now that Ling Yun had experience with the first round. Also, a lot of spirit stones were scooped up by Ling Yun in his first round. The spiritual energy was growing thinner and was thus easier to target.
Ling Yun was done with about seventy percent of the area after another twenty minutes. The cart was filled up again.
Tie Xiaohu had arrived by this time. He looked for Ling Yun after a few short exchanges with Tang Meng. Ling Yun relinquished the pus.h.i.+ng of the small cart to Tie Xiaohu.
Tie Xiaohu would carry about a hundred kilograms worth of stuff originally. Now that he was at the fourth minor realm of the Stellar Condensation Technique and had started cultivating the Raging Waves Internal Skill, his arms were able to support more than ten times the weight.
Tie Xiaohu pushed the cart to Tang Meng and was greeted with yet another empty cart prepared by the staff member.
The staff member finally understood that Ling Yun was going to turn over every single stone in their shop.
Our boss will be overjoyed, he thought. We will be rid of more than three carts of garbage in one go. Song Zhengyang has outdone himself this time. Boss will definitely treat him to a good meal!
After another half hour, Ling Yun finally finished sweeping through Yu Ding Xuan. He now had three full carts!
“Hehe, such a grand harvest…” Ling Yun held a strange-looking rock happily, unwilling to put it into the cart.
That stone didn’t release any spiritual energy, nor was there any jade that Ling Yun could see. He found this rock by accident.
It wasn’t a stone to be precise, it was five pieces of stone, each the size of a watermelon with irregular roundish shapes. It had a gray surface and looked very normal. What caught Ling Yun’s attention was that these five pieces of stone were strung together by an invisible stone column, like a candied gourd.
Of course, Ling Yun wouldn’t have been so excited by its appearance. He saw different colors inside this stone. They were purple, white, yellow, red, and black. It only lacked green!
The staff member was also excited, not because of the stone, but because of Ling Yun’s strength!
Each of the stones had a diameter of about thirty centimeters, which should have weighed at least fifty kilograms. Five of them together should have weighed nearly three hundred kilograms. Yet Ling Yun played around with them effortlessly.
Wouldn’t he take all the gold medals in the Olympic Games?
Of course he could. Ling Yun was able to kick a huge stone of one ton from Tiger Cliff to the crater before he went out to sea. He was only at the beginning of Physique Tempering Stage Six then. He was now at the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Eight!
Ling Yun only released that candied gourd after he had his way with it.
Ling Yun moved back to the center of the courtyard and activated his divine sense.
“There are no more spirit stones left…”
Ling Yun didn’t feel any spiritual energy. He did see some jade within a few stones, but he felt that he had gained enough for the day. Therefore, he went back to the stone gambling event.
“Sh*t, they’re almost done picking the stone and are about to cut them…” the staff member said, irritated that he missed it all.
The gamblers were excited, but none of them could suppress their unbearable tension.
Gambling stones could either bring you to heaven or h.e.l.l. The odds of becoming rich in an instant, as well as the odds of becoming bankrupt, were high. How could anyone not be nervous?
“Ling Yun, why didn’t you call me if you came?”
A delightful fragrance wafted through the air. Long Wu suddenly ran to Ling Yun’s side. Her long hair was fluttering, and her pure face had a bright smile. She linked her arms with his immediately.
“Why are you here? Don’t get so close to me, I just clambered back from all those rocks, I’m covered in dust…”
Ling Yun grinned at Long Wu.
“I had nothing to do, and I couldn’t get through to your phone. I called Tang Meng and realized you were at Yu Ding Xuan, so I’m here to show some support…”
Ling Yun threw his phone into his spatial ring just now. It would have affected his spirit stones seeking.
“I’m not gambling, so why are you supporting me?” Ling Yun laughed.
The two of them flirted, obviously ignorant of the feelings of the people they were surrounded by.
Murong Feixue was about to rejoin Ling Yun when she saw that he was finally done with the piles of rubbish. She stopped in shock when she saw a girl whose features didn’t lose out to her, holding onto Ling Yun’s arms. Her face turned pale instantly.
Did Ling Yun have a girlfriend already? Murong Feixue’s heart turned as cold as ice!
Tang Meng, on the other hand, wanted to stick his head into the ground. He couldn’t take the gazes he got from the people around him.
“Look, what does that guy do? There are so many new raw stones here from the old Burmese pits. He didn’t bother with them but went with the rest of that rubbish?”
“It seems like they want to buy them all. I saw it all. These stones were rooted out by that young man. He definitely wants to buy them…”
“Kids nowadays really know nothing. Those were leftovers with no hope of having any jade in them. What would he do with them? Build a house? Haha…”
“How could his family let him go to a stone gambling event at such a young age? Isn’t he just squandering all the money?”
Tang Meng hated all these comments. His face turned red. He was the future leader of the Heaven and Earth Group, but his face had been thrown away before it was established…
Of course, the worst of it all was the contempt that came from the two nouveau riches.
“Ling Yun is really an idiot. There are so many good things here that he doesn’t want. He spent so much effort going through that pile of rubbish. I’m guessing he doesn’t have enough money to play the game? Haha…”
Zhu Yongw.a.n.g looked at Ling Yun and Tang Meng as though they were huge half-wits.
“Definitely. He might know a bit about medicine, but gambling stones? Wait another hundred years! Look at the stones in my hand, see how I best him later when we cut the stones!”
Hou Yaozong chose a few raw stones earlier on. He wanted to take this opportunity to show off his strength and regain Murong Feixue’s heart…
