Chapter 220: Two Coloured Stone
After spending some time on the second, third, and fourth floors, Yu
Nianzhen and Jiang Yue arrived on the fifth floor.
This floor had the least number of stones but the displays were the most elaborate.
When he saw this, Jiang Yue sighed and shook his head.
At first, they thought the quality of stones improved with the increase in floor number.
However, after walking four floors, Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue knew the quality of the stones was the same.
The only difference between the stones on the first floor and those on the fifth was appearance.
As the floor number increased, the appearance of the stones became more gorgeous.
"Let’s look around." Jiang Yue said and led his husband to one of the display tables.
[Is there any reaction from the compass?] Yu Nianzhen asked.
[Not yet.]
[Okay.]
As they transmitted to each other, they arrived in front of a display cabinet.
The stone displayed in the cabinet was a deep aquamarine. It was the size of a basin and weighed about one hundred kilograms.
[Is it empty?] Yu Nianzhen asked.
[It has a peak grade silver rank trident. It’s not worth much.] Jiang Yue informed.
With that, the two moved along and continued to examine other stones.
A quarter of an hour later, they arrived in front of a white stone.
The stone was the size of a man’s waist and weighed less than twenty kilograms.
[Azhen, there is something good in this stone.] Jiang Yue said.
He tried not to show his excitement but his eyes couldn’t help but brighten.
[What is it?] Yu Nianzhen asked.
He was also infected by Jiang Yue’s excitement and looked at the white stone closely.
[It has five peak-grade spirit stones.] He said.
When Yu Nianzhen heard that, his hands shook a little.
Spirit stones had four grades- low-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, high-grade spirit stones, and peak-grade spirit stones.
Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones were worth one mid-grade spirit stone, and ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones were worth one high-grade spirit stone.
In the same way, ten thousand high-grade spirit stones were worth one peak-grade spirit stone.
However, this knowledge was only theoretical.
In practice, there were barely any mid-grade spirit stones, let alone high-grade and peak-grade spirit stones in the Cangxing world.
If a cultivator discovered such stones, they would keep them for themselves rather than trade them.
[Azhen, five peak-grade spirit stones are five trillion low-grade spirit stones.] Jiang Yue emphasised.
His voice was filled with excitement and he could barely restrain himself from laughing out loud.
[I know.] Yu Nianzhen said and took the stone from the display cabinet.
Although he wanted to act a little more reserved, he didn’t dare to hesitate.
He was worried someone would come from somewhere and grab the stone from them.
At that time, it would be too late to complain.
After Yu Nianzhen had the stone in his arms, Jiang Yue heaved a sigh of relief and then chuckled.
’We are too obvious.’ He thought and secretly looked around.
Fortunately, no one was looking at them and others didn’t notice their odd behaviour.
[I dare say that we won’t have to worry about spirit stones when we enter the Nine Treasures secret realm.] Jiang Yue said.
[Yea.] Yu Nianzhen agreed.
With the five peak-grade spirit stones, they didn’t have to worry.
[I want to reserve the five for our cultivation. Unless necessary, let’s not feed them to the jade box.] Yu Nianzhen said.
[I agree.] Jiang Yue didn’t have a problem with that.
Unlike low-grade spirit stones which had some impurities, peak-grade spirit stones were one hundred per cent pure.
They could be absorbed more easily than low-grade spirit stones and were a good way to quickly replenish qi.
Because of this, Yu Nianzhen didn’t want to use them for normal cultivation. He wanted to reserve them for breakthroughs and emergencies.
[Let’s move on.]
[I am a little excited to see what else we can find.] Jiang Yue said and led the way.
However, finding the peak-grade spirit stones had sucked all their luck.
After examining the stones for an hour, the two did not discover anything good.
It wasn’t because there were no treasures in the stones, but because the treasures they found did not justify the price of the stones.
In the end, the two could only give up on those treasures and continue looking around.
When they arrived on the last row, the two had all but given up.
They didn’t expect to find other treasures and planned to head out after paying for what they had picked.
However, their luck turned for the better.
[Azhen, those three stones have good things.] Jiang Yue said and glanced at three stones.
Yu Nianzhen saw where he was looking and also looked.
[The red stone has a phoenix blood herb. The silver stone has a broken slab with a sword mark on it, and the two-coloured stone has a shield.]
[All are good things.] Yu Nianzhen said and frowned.
Although the red and silver stones were eye-catching, they were overshadowed by the two-coloured stone.
Because of this, Jiang Yue and Yu Nianzhen easily took them.
[Should we try to get the two-coloured stone?] Jiang Yue asked.
There was a crowd of ten people in front of the two-coloured stone.
The crowd was divided into three small groups and they were arguing with each other.
"We arrived first. This two-coloured stone belongs to us." A young man shouted.
"What does it matter if you came first? This is the Jin family’s stone gambling hall. Our Bai family and the Jin family are in-laws." A young woman retorted with a sneer on her face.
’Bai family.’ Jiang Yue thought and remembered the young woman they met in the Thousand Herbs Garden.
Her name was Bai Ruyue and she came from the Great Artisan city.
Ordinarily, Jiang Yue wouldn’t remember a passerby but he remembered her because she liked Yu Nianzhen.
She often tried to get close to Yu Nianzhen and occasionally talked about herself.
From those days, Jiang Yue remembered that Bai Ruyue was arranged to marry Jin Xuan but didn’t want to.
When he heard that the Bai family and Jin family were now in-laws, Jiang Yue wondered if she succumbed.
’I hope it’s her.’ He thought with schadenfreude.
He not only wished her a bad life because she attempted to get close to Yu Nianzhen but also because she joined Jin Xuan to deceive everyone.
[Let’s get them back if we have a chance.] Jiang Yue said.
[Who?] Yu Nianzhen asked.
[Jin Xuan, Bai Ruyue and the others.]
When he heard the answer, Yu Nianzhen clenched his hands and his eyes narrowed.
Although Jin Xuan did not kill Wang Xue’er, it was because of him that she died.
Yu Nianzhen had long wanted to teach him a lesson and he planned to find a chance in the future.
[We...] Jiang Yue started but didn’t continue.
Instead, he turned about and looked at a group of people who were walking toward them.
[Azhen...]
[Mmmh. He is very strong.] Yu Nianzhen said and also looked at the group.
The group was made of five people- four male cultivators and one female cultivator.
The female cultivator was at the third level of the qi transformation realm and was the weakest in the group.
Two males were at the peak level of the qi transformation realm, one was at the first level of the origin tempering realm, and the last was at the fifth level of the origin tempering realm.
What attracted Yu Nianzhen’s and Jiang Yue’s attention was the male cultivator at the fifth level of the origin tempering realm.
He had short red hair, a handsome face, and a heroic temperament.
However, these were not what attracted the two.
What caught their attention was the man’s qi presence.
He had a fierce qi presence that made one feel like they were standing close to a fierce beast.
"He is the young sect master of the Divine Fist sect." Someone whispered.
The voice was low but Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue heard it.
They recalled what they heard in the restaurant and looked at the person even more carefully.
’So he is the young master of the Divine Fist sect?’ Jiang Yue wondered.
Since they overheard the question, he wanted to meet the person who wanted to rob master Yang.
He imagined the person as a spoiled young master but his imagination was wrong.
Rather than a pampered person, the young sect master looked like a righteous hero.
Under other circumstances, he most likely wouldn’t become friends with a righteous but he wouldn’t dislike him.
Unfortunately, there were no ifs in life.
Until the Ice Palace matter was settled, the young sect master could only be an opponent.
"Young sect master Mo." The young woman from the Bai family shouted.
She smiled at the young master and hurriedly walked toward the person.
’We are about to watch a good show.’ Jiang Yue thought.
