Chapter 619: Sweeping the Spirit Stones!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The two drops of dragon saliva were absorbed into the rock immediately, vanis.h.i.+ng without a trace.
That faint majestic aura reappeared for an instant before it wisped away again. This time, Ling Yun felt it clearly!
Great harvest! I didn’t waste my time here today! That was the first thought that entered Ling Yun’s mind.
He had to buy this Green Dragon Out at Sea even if it cost him one billion yuan!
“Har…” Ling Yun exhaled and swallowed hard. He continued to experiment excitedly.
He took out a bottle of mineral water sneakily and poured it onto the cyan stone.
The cyan boulder was moistened by the mineral water, which flowed down the stone, darkening its color. It wasn’t absorbed like the dragon saliva.
The Green Dragon Out at Sea can absorb the dragon saliva…
Ling Yun threw the mineral water aside. He caressed this cold body of stone and circled it twice.
The stone was huge. The bottom was three meters in diameter, and it was dark blue. It looked old and desolate. There was also an ancient smell about it.
Ling Yun stopped after turning two rounds. He lifted his head slowly and looked at the life-like dragon head with his brows slightly wrinkled. He wondered how he could get the Lord of Jade to sell this baby to him.
Ling Yun was a master of spell formations. He knew that this huge rock wasn’t placed there by accident, it was determined by Fengshui. The dragon head faced northeast, towards the Qingshui Lake. Obviously, the Lord of Jade consulted a Fengshui master when he was deciding where to place this.
A few people gathered around Ling Yun, curious about what he was doing with the Green Dragon Out at Sea.
“Hey, Ling Yun, what are you doing? Why are you studying this stone?” Murong Feixue asked.
“I’m not studying it, I’m thinking about how to buy it…” Ling Yun turned and looked at Murong Feixue with a small smile.
Murong Feixue’s hand went straight up to her mouth.
“G.o.d! There’s nothing special about it except that it looks like a dragon. Why do you want to buy it?”
Murong Feixue was shocked, was Ling Yun mad? Why was he not interested in the jades lying around but a useless stone like this?
The Lord of Jade wouldn’t sell it to him even if he just wanted to appreciate the stone!
This Green Dragon Out at Sea had been with the Lord of Jade for the past five years. He bought it for two hundred million yuan then, but it brought so much good fortune to him. He earned more than a billion. Why would he sell it now, especially since he wasn’t in need of money?
Ling Yun didn’t want to explain too much. “To appreciate it. Green Dragon Out at Sea, what an auspicious name…”
Murong Feixue was speechless. However, she didn’t stop him. It was their second meeting today, so they had no relations.h.i.+p yet, even if Murong Feixue liked him now.
“The Lord of Jade won’t sell it. Many people have approached him in these two years to buy it. Their highest price was four hundred million yuan, but the Lord of Jade refused it out flat!” Murong Feixue reminded Ling Yun with a smile.
“Sigh, I’ll ask him later. I can’t help it if he really doesn’t want to sell it.” Ling Yun could only heave a sigh.
Murong Feixue heard the grave tone and thought that Ling Yun wanted to give up. She changed the topic.
“Hey, we’re here today to see the stone gambling event. It’s starting now. Do you want to see it?”
Ling Yun didn’t understand, nor did he have any interest in, the stone gambling event. His purpose at the Antique Market was to obtain all the spiritual stones he could get his hands on, not to waste time on such boring stuff.
“Miss Feixue, is Yu Ding Xuan selling these stones here?” He asked casually.
Murong Feixue glared at Ling Yun. “Am I really that old? You addressed me as Big Sister and then Miss.”
“Of course you’re not old. Your skin is so fair and clear. You’re eighteen at most. Shall I call you Little Sister instead?” Ling Yun flirted.
“Go to h.e.l.l, you flirt. Yu Ding Xuan sells every single stone here except for the Green Dragon Out at Sea.” Murong Feixue rolled her eyes at Ling Yun.
“However, see those stalls over there? Not all of the stones are from Yu Ding Xuan and the House of Strange Stones. They only have the big ones…”
“What are those stores then? Isn’t this the backyard of Yu Ding Xuan?” Ling Yun asked.
“The reason why Yu Ding Xuan is famous is that their backyard is the largest. In recent years, it has grown in scale. Many people rented a place here. They can earn quite a bit even if they provide just a few stones when the crowd is at its highest every Sunday,” Murong Feixue explained.
“They rented, no wonder…” Ling Yun nodded and went to the stone gambling event.
“Hey, why didn’t you wait for me!” Murong Feixue shouted at Ling Yun’s back and chased after him.
Ling Yun found Song Zhengyang, who was picking some raw stones. “Uncle Song, I’m not here today to gamble stones. I would like to buy a few stones and take home. Can you send someone from Yu Ding Xuan to follow me?” Ling Yun asked.
Ling Yun used his Yin-Yang Eye to look over the variety of stones Song Zhengyang chose while he asked.
Amazing, simply amazing!
Ling Yun could see about three centimeters into the stone. He could even see through the heart of those that were about seven to eight centimeters thick. He saw that at least three of the five stones picked by Song Zhengyang had jade inside.
Ling Yun didn’t know how Song Zhengyang was to carry out his role as the dealer, but this in itself was enough to shock Ling Yun.
Experience, strength, professionalism! Song Zhengyang had it all. He chose the stones with a kind of proud and aggressive confidence.
He could guarantee at least six out of ten had jade in them. It was no wonder why Song Zhengyang dared to be the dealer here.
He had planned to showcase his skills to Ling Yun so that Ling Yun knew he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
“Alright, go and choose to your heart’s content, but don’t be too quick to settle the bill. Settle only after I’ve seen them…”
Ling Yun got a staff member to accompany him.
Murong Feixue was p.i.s.sed off at how carefree Ling Yun was. This time, she didn’t follow him physically, only her eyes did.
Ling Yun wasn’t about to be distracted. He activated his divine sense to the maximum and walked towards the places with the highest concentration of spiritual energy.
“This isn’t bad…”
“I want this…”
“This one as well…”
Both his and the staff’s hands were full after twenty meters.
He didn’t let any of the spirit stones slip through his grasp.
He had a great harvest, but he wasn’t satisfied yet. “Hey, aren’t you supposed to find me a cart or something? We won’t be able to hold anymore!” Ling Yun said to that chap.
The staff member from Yu Ding Xuan was stunned. He had never seen someone choosing the stones in this matter.
He didn’t look at the color nor the vein of the stone. There was no magnifying gla.s.s nor strong flashlights. He wasn’t choosing jade, he was choosing stones!
“Erm… Mr. Ling… Mr. Ling Yun? I have to say something. You will pay through your nose if you pick stones in this manner!”
“Even I can say confidently that some of these stones you have chosen will not have any jade in them…” he said with some goodness in his heart. There was just some disdain in his eyes. He felt Ling Yun was wasting good money.
“Thank you for the advice. I’m just playing around. Please get a cart for me!”
The staff member got the cart in no time for Ling Yun to continue prowling stones.
Ling Yun was truly sweeping up all the spirit stones he could find this time!
Not only did he use his divine sense to search for spiritual energy, but he had also maximized his divine sense. He would put those that had some green sightings into the cart.
After half an hour, they had completed about one-third of Yu Ding Xuan. The cart had long been filled to the brim with all kinds of weird stones, and the staff member was tired from all the pus.h.i.+ng.
“That’s it for now, I’ll continue later…”
Ling Yun suspended his shopping spree, seeing how that staff member really didn’t want to accompany him any longer.
Ling Yun’s gaze fell onto a huge black stone about one and a half meters wide when he was about to return to the stone gambling event!
