Chapter 542

Author: Shrimp in Trouble Waters
There was no point doing something like that when he could cut a new stone for ten thousand.

Chase was not affected by what the crowd was discussing. He took the remaining stones from the stall owner happily. He removed a piece of stone, which was the stone that contained the spiritual crystal.

“Do you plan to cut your stone here, sir?” The stall owner asked Chase when he handed the cut-up stones over to him.

Chase did not want the stones cut in public. Otherwise, Dominic might create trouble for him. Chase did not mind facing Dominic, but there was no need to give himself so much trouble.

The crowd was still hanging around. Chase put away the stones and turned to leave. That was when he saw Enola and Enzo standing at the side.

“Hey, Enola, isn’t that man your bodyguard? He’s such a joke. I wondered who that stupid guy was and it turned out to be him.”

Enzo and Enola had been there for quite a while, but they could not squeeze through the crowd due to too many people standing aro

    “Return it? Hey, what’s the look you’re giving me?! I bought this translucent stone with Enola in the high-end stone area over there. I spent a million on it. There’s bound to be something good in there. Not everyone can be like you, willing to spend money on useless stones.”There were many types of stones available, and the icy gem stone was known to be a more expensive type of gem.“What if there’s nothing inside the stone after you cut it?” Chase asked with a smile.“Nonsense! Who do you think you are? I’ve been around here for years and won’t ever pick a stone with nothing in it. Do you trust me, Enola?” Enzo was enraged to hear Chase doubting him.He was the owner of the underground auction house of Chitara. How could he continue holding his head up if he could not pick a good stone?“You have to trust me, Enola. Let’s go. We should ignore people like him who don’t know what he’s talking about.” Enzo looked at Chase with animosity.“I didn’t say I don’t trust you, Enzo.” En

    Enzo sneered and said to Waylan Bolden, “Cut it open. I’ll make sure you reap the benefits as well if there’s something good in there.”“Alright.” This was a good deal for Waylan, and he was quite enthusiastic about it. He spat on both his hands.He grabbed the handle of the stone cutter. Everyone was watching intently, and he could feel the pressure that came with their stares.“Let’s start from the corner.”He marked all four sharp corners of the stone with a pencil before placing the stone under the cutter. He began to cut into it.When he cut the four sharp corners, dust flew everywhere, but there was no sign of any precious gem. If this was an icy gem stone, they would have seen some signs of a gem by now.Waylan was puzzled. However, he continued scooping water and pouring some over the surface of the stone. The water flowed along the gray sides of the stone.He laughed awkwardly. “Don’t be impatient, everyone. It could be because I didn’t cut the corners deep enough, whic

    Everyone was surprised by this and laughed at Enzo with pointed fingers.“Look at this. He claimed that it was an icy gem stone. Hahahah! It’s just a useless piece of stone.”“To think he was so gleeful about it!”“That’s right!”“Looks like there’s a limit to the experience of the underground auction house owner. His expertise is just the same as ours!”Enzo’s face turned pale. He did not believe what he saw. He stumbled and fell sitting on the ground in a daze. How was that possible?He had never missed a mark before. Even though it required some luck, there were still some skills to it.Enola felt terrible to see Enzo look so beaten up. He had even wanted to give her whatever treasure was in that stone. A million had gone down the drain just like that!“Impossible!” Enzo suddenly jumped up from the ground. He grabbed Waylan by the collar with great force. Enzo lost control of himself and went a little crazy. He had never felt so humiliated before.“Talk! It must be your sto

    “That sounds quite reasonable. After all, he did say he would take responsibility. There’s no comparing a stone worth a million with a stone worth ten thousand.”Everyone began discussing this.“What a waste of time!” Chase said and turned to leave.It would be fine if his stone was cut without anyone of expertise around. They would think that it was a jewel at best. However, if a cultivator spotted it, there would be endless trouble.“If you don’t cut open that piece of crap today, I guarantee that as the owner of this auction house, you'll never buy another piece of stone in Chitara’s stone gambling street ever again,” Enzo threatened Chase when Chase did not agree to this.Chase heard this. He finally turned back. It was not because he was afraid. Chase believed that with Enzo’s capabilities, he would not be able to do as he threatened.However, since someone really wanted to see what was inside the useless stone he had bought for ten thousand, he might as well let them have a

    He opened his eyes and began cutting the surface of the stone smoothly.It was not long before he was able to cut out the fire gem. He placed it in a basin and used water to clean the dust off it. He placed it under the sun to have a good look. The fire gem sparkled under the sunlight. It shone through the gem, and he could hardly open his eyes from the bright light.Waylan exclaimed at the reveal of the gem, and everyone on the street could not stop staring at the shining fire gem. It was gorgeous. They wondered how many people had ended up bankrupt on this street just to have a gamble to become rich overnight.Yet, Chase managed to buy this piece of stone for a mere ten thousand.Some people had mistaken Chase for someone who had no idea what this jewel was worth. A man shouted out loud, “I’ll pay you a million for it, buddy! You bought that with ten thousand. I’ll pay you an additional 99 thousand for it. Sell it to me…”Before he could finish, another man called out louder wit

    After all, someone managed to find a fire gem here. This was an encouragement for them, but they had forgotten that not everyone could be this lucky.Waylan took out a box and carefully put the fire gem into it. He was also a little reluctant. He passed it to Chase. “Have a safe trip back. Remember to come to my shop the next time you need to cut a stone. I’ll give you a 50 percent discount.”“You’re much too kind, Mr. Bolden. I’d like to ask you something. Do you know where this stone came from?”Chase took the box and asked in a whisper.“You’re putting me in a spot, young man. The stones I have here were sourced on my own. I don’t have a fixed channel to get them. It’s very difficult to find out the origin of your stone.”Waylan told Chase with slight embarrassment.There was nothing else Chase could do. He was not meant to find out where it came from.Chase had thought he would be lucky enough to obtain some clues to lead him to a bunch of spiritual crystals. Even so, one wa

    Chase was furious when Sonny snatched his spiritual crystal and announced that he was teaching Chase a lesson.“What a shameless old man you are!”He countered the palm attack with a punch.This punch easily beat Sonny back.Chase swung his hand and got back the fire gem from Sonny’s pocket.“You’re full of yourself, old man. Do that again and I’ll kill you!” Chase said when he saw Sonny struggling to stand up.That was when Enzo said, “Do you have any idea who this man is? He isn’t only well-respected in the stone gambling street, but he’s renowned in Bactria’s antiquing world. Mr. Shelman is a powerful man. "He was showing you respect by asking a price from you. How dare you hurt him? Do you still want to remain in Chitara in one piece?”“Is that why you brought him to me?” Chase asked Enzo.“What if I did? It’s because of Mr. Shelman that I’m able to be where I am today. He’s searching for something valuable as a birthday present for the patriarch of the Shelmans, and it’s

    “It’s fine now that we’ve cleared the misunderstanding. I don’t have an invitation to the party even though I know it’s Master Chester’s birthday. I wonder if you might be able to help me get the invitation?” Chase took the opportunity to ask.“That’s no problem at all. You can just come along with me to the party!” Sonny agreed immediately to bring Chase along to the Shelman residence.“It’s settled then. As for this fire gem, it’s my birthday present to him. I’m afraid you might have to find another treasure of your own,” Chase replied cheekily before saying goodbye.Enzo had a chat with Sonny before catching up to Chase.While they were leaving, Enola burst out asking, “Why did you do that, Enzo?”“I’m doing this for the sake of the Langdons. You have no idea how powerful the Shelmans are in Chitara. They’re considered royalty here! Forget about it. You won’t understand it anyway. Stop asking so much. All you need to do is focus on being a celebrity!”A thought crossed Enzo’s

    "What has this got anything to do with me?"Chase could not understand the woman in front of him. Why would she say all these in the arena?"Before that, allow me to share a secret with you. The male and female phoenixes were supposed to be one."Chase was about to say something when Yara interrupted him, "The Rising of the Phoenix is not only about enhancing power after rebirth; it's a process of a male turning into a female and vice versa."But since the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity, the Phoenix Deity is the only Phoenix Demon Saint left, and he lost his power from the Rising to switch genders. He's unable to recover to his original power as well."However, he predicted that someone would be able to break him out of his suffering while wading in the river of fate."Yara looked into Chase's eyes with a smile."Is that person… me?"Anyone could tell the answer at this point.Chase was aware of what Yara was trying to tell him, but he still found it unbelievable when he asked the

    Chase was the only person qualified to judge if there was murderous intent as he was the opponent in the arena.When Yara played the flute, it sounded like a beautiful melody from above the Ninth Heaven at first. If one listened closely, one could identify the vague signs of murderous intent.Chase scoffed at this. He thought it to be childish for one to hide murderous intent that way.He did not know music at all, but even he could tell what Yara was doing. Yara was looking down on him by doing this.When Chase was about to make his move, he was suddenly pulled into an illusion by the opponent. Chase was on a floating cloud above the Ninth Heaven in the illusion. It was just as Carla had said.He was initially flustered. How was he going to defend himself against the next killing move with such a powerful technique?While he was gathering all the vital energy within him, a sweet, melodious voice was heard. "Please don't retaliate, Mr. Collins. I bear no ill will."A tall, slen

    "History scrolls don't really help with my cultivation. They make me drowsy every time, so I don't read them," Ford continued explaining without holding back. It did not seem wrong to him.However, his words made an impression on those listening.Ford was able to pick up the dragon clan's mystical techniques after reading them once. He even claimed it was not necessary to read them a second time. Was he even human? Oh, wait. He was a dragon. Tiana stared at him, not knowing what to say next.The Saintess of Emerald Lake Holy Land had not only fought with her talents yesterday but also with her hard work.When Tiana first entered Emerald Lake Holy Land, her master told her that her talents were upper-middle at best. She was considered extremely lucky to be accepted to the sect.Emerald Lake Holy Land was one of the top five sects in this world. It was second only to Sky Dragon Holy Land among the Four Holy Lands.

    Yara placed his flute to his lips and warned Chase, "I'll be making my move, Mr. Collins.""Please go ahead." Chase waved his hand casually and indicated for Yara to go ahead.It was the third round, and everyone at this stage was not to be underestimated. A powerhouse with a musical instrument for a weapon was rare. Chase looked forward to exchanging hands with him.The melodious sound of the flute was soon heard. All of the spectators could feel the atmosphere become more relaxed."Why is this Musical Technique non-lethal?""This can't be right. How did Yara Fries get into the third round? There's nothing formidable about this piece of music.""Is there anyone here who can explain?""He used his flute as a weapon in the previous rounds and knocked out his opponents with a couple of moves. He didn't play any music then.""Is he giving leeway to the opponent?""Could he be hinting at the opponent with his music that they're soulmates? They might end up being taken with each oth

    As Clive had gained quite a lot, he decided to let it be. He allowed himself to let go of things. However, that being's consciousness began to open up to Clive, and that was when Clive realized how powerful the being was.It was one against the 12 Primal Treasures, and the universe was its target. It had existed for millions of years. The result of allowing it to take over was Clive losing complete control of his body. It was a projected image that vanished after Chase defeated it.However, Clive's body had been modified by it, and Clive's mind and soul were unable to control his own body. This was what had caused Clive to look like he was in a daze right after the match.Rania then used a mystical technique to transmit her cultivation and combine the powers of both parties. It triggered a lost talent within Clive that merged all of the swordsmanship he cultivated to form an unknown sword form that had never been seen before.Clive felt like he had been revived.He looked at the Ni

    Inside the halved corpse, faint outlines of Rania and the coachman's bodies could be seen. They were twisted and contorted.Foul-smelling digestive fluid bubbled and hissed, corroding their bodies.Rania appeared to retain a shred of consciousness. "Cli... Clive... Clive... Help me... Save..."Her voice was faint, tremulous, and laced with sorrow. It stirred pity in the heart.In truth, even before she had spoken, Clive had already detected her presence through his spiritual consciousness. He raised his sword. His face was tormented as if he wanted to put a swift end to things. Yet in the end, he let out a long sigh and released a surge of true essence, pulling both the coachman and Rania from River's corpse.The coachman's cultivation was far too low, and his clothes were made of ordinary fabric. They offered no resistance to the corrosive and toxic digestive acid inside River's body.Half of his body was already unrecognizable, with the bones and internal organs exposed. His b

    "Pathetic."The Nine-Sea Giant Squid that River had transformed into spoke with a human voice, then opened its gaping maw and swallowed her whole.The coachman, who had leaped off the horse the moment River transformed, scrambled and sprinted away. He was already dozens of feet out.Just then, a dark blur flashed past, and one of River's tentacles shot forward at incredible speed, snatching him back and devouring him in a single gulp as well."Disgusting. That woman tasted better," he muttered while slithering toward the carriage on his tentacles.Suddenly, an explosion echoed from within his belly, and faint glimmers of light shone through the surface of his body."That woman's protective artifact is so weak. Looks like she wasn't treated well in the Norths, after all."River examined himself carefully and found that it was indeed Rania's protective talisman that had just detonated. Yet his body remained largely unharmed. With some minor healing over ten days to half a month, he

    Outside Light Divine City, Rania sat inside a carriage with Clive."Clive, say something, will you? You staying silent like this is really worrying me," she said while wiping the sweat from Clive's forehead and letting out a sigh.As a collateral descendant of the Norths, Rania's life had never been particularly easy. She had thought she had finally snagged a golden opportunity with Clive, only for him to fall into a daze after just one match.What was she supposed to do now?Everyone had witnessed their behavior during the tournament. Though some might look down on them, they would undoubtedly see the two of them as a pair by now.If she abandoned Clive at this point, she would surely be labeled a heartless woman.Just then, the carriage came to a halt. They had only left the city less than an hour ago and were still far from Universal Holy Land. Was someone blocking the road? Rania frowned and lifted the curtain.Sure enough, there was someone standing in the way.She looked c

    Even though the match had ended, Lisa still could not fully escape the lingering terror.The slimy, wriggling tentacles covered in suction cups and jagged teeth, stretching out toward her… Such images were seared into her mind. The impact had been too great.Though she was a direct descendant of the dragon clan—an authentic ancient lineage and one of the top races in the entire world—she had been completely overpowered then.Normally, her bloodline would exert natural suppression over most others. However, at the time, she was almost crushed by another.She could not even begin to imagine what kind of race could do that."It tried to eat you?" Walter exclaimed in shock.As a great beast himself, he understood just how powerful the dragon clan's pure bloodline was.Even though the incident with the Lightning Dragon kneeling to Chase had dulled some of the mystique around dragons, it remained undeniable that they were a superior bloodline."For a creature to make a dragon feel lik
