Dragon Emperor, Martial God

Tang Meng revived. He was almost floating in the overwhelming uproar.

“Hehe, Big Brother Yun, I didn’t think you could do something like that. Why didn’t you tell me, I was worried for nothing…”

“What do you mean by do something like that? I selected these stones at random. Who knew I could be so lucky…” Ling Yun frowned.

Big Brother Yun was going low profile now. He would admit nothing but luck.

However, no one believed him.

The applause continued for a long time, urging the crowd towards the unraveling of the King of Stones.

Big Brother Yun wasn’t going to let that happen so easily. There was so much jade in it that it could mesmerize people!

It was something priceless and not something Ling Yun would do so easily.

The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan were having an emergency meeting. Ling Yun didn’t bother. He was about to go deaf from all the noise.

They stopped their discussion after a while. The Lord of Jade’s face returned back to normal as he walked up to Ling Yun.

“Ling Yun, can we cut another stone? Just one more stone, and I have something to say…”

The Lord of Jade’s voice betrayed his excitement.

“You can choose any you like as long as it’s not my treasure to ward off evil spirits,” Ling Yun replied.

Ling Yun knew he wouldn’t be able to leave without cutting the King of Stones. He really didn’t care about cutting the King of Stones, but he wanted the Green Dragon Out at Sea from the Lord of Jade. Ling Yun wouldn’t want it for free either, he was more than willing to pay for it.

The Lord of Jade’s heart jumped again when Ling Yun reminded him about the treasure to ward off evil spirits. He covered it up very well as he went towards Ling Yun’s third cart.

The crowd quieted down again. Everyone squeezed against each other to see which stone the Lord of Jade picked.

Even the eight brothers that Tie Xiaohu stationed beside the carts couldn’t handle the crowd.

“Tie Xiaohu, what are you doing there? Help us block the people!”

Afraid that someone would steal the stones from Ling Yun, Tang Meng used his body to block the crowd.

They were all money! Any piece of rock was worth millions. It was no wonder Tang Meng was so persistent about it.

Even Murong Feixue was helping block people.

Murong Feixue wasn’t stupid. She knew now that the stones that Ling Yun chose contained jade. The feeling she had was indescribable.

Ling Yun, on the other hand, wasn’t worried at all. He activated his divine sense to cover an area of thirty-five meters. He guaranteed that anyone who dared steal from him wouldn’t even know how they died!

Ling Yun had the spatial ring. He could well have kept some of the stones in the ring if he really wanted to. No one would notice. Moreover, Ling Yun’s spatial ring had been upgraded recently, so two cartloads of stones were totally possible.

He didn’t do that though, as that was theft. The Lord of Jade didn’t do anything to harm him, so he didn’t need to do something as lowly as that. He had ample money anyway.

He didn’t steal from others, so naturally, he wouldn’t allow others to steal from him. Whoever dared to do that would die a most horrible death.

“Can we cut this piece?” The Lord of Jade took the mysterious candied gourd and asked pointedly.

Ling Yun heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that the Lord of Jade would pick a stone with spiritual energy.

He would never let a spirit stone be cut. Ling Yun would ask the Lord of Jade to pick again if he chose one with spiritual energy.

“No problem!” Ling Yun said very generously.

“Thank you, little pal!”

The Lord of Jade caressed the five stones strung together. He and Han Laosan would admit defeat if even this ornamental stone contained jade.

This gourd wasn’t even mined from a jade mine. There was no telling where it actually came from. It was only in Yu Ding Xuan because of its odd shape. The price tag for it was one million yuan.

No one dared to say that the stones in Ling Yun’s cart didn’t contain any jade, save for a few idiots.

Zhu Yongwang and Hou Yaozong were indeed shocked at the jade that came out from the five stones. However, they truly believed that Ling Yun was really lucky.

“I’ll really swallow this raw jade stone in my hand if this stone has green jade as well!” Zhu Yongwang said excitedly.

What was Ling Yun going to say? Zhu Yongwang mentioned green jade, the only color that wasn’t contained in this stone. Ling Yun chose to ignore him.

“Hmph, this is just a uniquely shaped stone. It’s even more rubbish than the King of Stones. There will be nothing inside…”

Hou Yaozong was slightly more knowledgeable about this line of business than Zhu Yongwang. He explained his analysis to no one in particular.

Ling Yun didn’t bother with him. He would be losing all his teeth tonight, so it was good to let him talk all he wanted now!

However, that didn’t mean the others wouldn’t comment on them.

Murong Feixue was the first. “Scram, you two! Don’t let me see you again!”

There was a massive amount of irritability in her heart. She simply shouted at them, destroying her good-girl image!

She didn’t even need to consider the fact that they were huge clients of the Murong Family. What did she have to fear with Ling Yun by their side?

Only, she suddenly remembered the beautiful girl standing beside Ling Yun, and a sense of sourness swelled in her chest. Perhaps the desire to be together with him was just a dream… Perhaps it would be better to just be ordinary friends.

Murong Feixue wouldn’t share her man with any other woman.

If someone of such virtue started scolding them, Tang Meng, Long Wu, Song Zhengyang, the Lord of Jade, Han Laosan, and some other jewelry merchants had fired their own comments away.

If Ling Yun didn’t stop Tie Xiaohu, he could have sent them flying!

Sent the two cowards flying high up in the sky.

The two nouveau riches knew they had no one on their side, so they stopped drawing attention to themselves and slipped away.

Those two idiots don’t even know how much trouble they’re in… Ling Yun thought inwardly.

That candied gourd was very heavy. The Lord of Jade got his staff to bring the stone cutting machine there instead.

“Lord of Jade, you spoiled one of my rocks already. Please exercise more caution this time?” Ling Yun reminded him with a grin.

“I’ll pay for it, just treat that jade as mine…” Master Peng offered, feeling even more embarrassed now.

It was Ling Yun’s turn to feel embarrassed. “No, no need. It was just a joke…”

The Lord of Jade was busy discussing with Song Zhengyang on how to cut this stone. He heard what Ling Yun said but didn’t rush to answer him.

Song Zhengyang would cut this stone personally.

Song Zhengyang’s stone cutting was simply art. His pair of hands was slightly larger than those of ordinary people, and they weren’t only steady but very flexible as well. He was wonderfully accurate.

However, that piece of rock was very difficult to move as well, increasing the challenge of cutting it. Ling Yun instructed Tie Xiaohu to move it with his hands, all while listening to the command of Song Zhengyang.

One of them had the skill, the other had strength. They were a match made in heaven for this task. The stone machine didn’t stop churning.

Song Zhengyang chose to cut the middle-most stone, which was the most problematic one. That was to make it easier for the other stones.

Ling Yun knew what was inside, a red jade…

Tie Xiaohu was tasked to turn the rock while Song Zhengyang adjusted the direction of the cuts. No one gave much thought to why Tie Xiaohu had such inhumane strength because they saw the signs of jade almost immediately.

“Oh my god, this stone too?”

“Wow, it seems to be red. Could it be red jade?”

“It will be worth so much if this is top-grade red jade…”

“We can see something just one centimeter in. Just how big is this jade?”

“Not necessarily. This is just a small corner, we can only know after it’s all cut out…”

Ling Yun was pretty calm as he listened to the excited murmurs. This red jade was almost transparent and bright. It was a complete piece, bigger than a basketball. There were at least forty-five kilograms of red jade.

It was the same throughout all five stones, only the colors were different.

“It’s really top-grade red jade!”

Song Zhengyang was the first person to witness it. Exhilaration filled him. Such a huge piece of top-grade red jade was automatically priceless. No one would be able to afford it.

That was because he knew the value of a top-grade red jade.

Song Zhengyang saw a pair of blood jade bracelets at an international auction not so long ago. They were sold at 15.88 million yuan.

This wasn’t just a pair of bracelets. Moreover, Song Zhengyang felt that the color in this raw jade stone was brighter than what he saw then. This small corner was already blood red and transparent. It was eye-catching and gorgeous!

It was a cloudy day, so there wasn’t any sun shining down on them. If there was…

Song Zhengyang was now on high alert. He had a strong feeling that this stone was going to be the real King of Stones!
