Chapter 111: Spirit Stone Reappears

His heart was filled with wild joy; the Spiritual Energy in the Spirit Stone fragment from the cat last time had long since been completely absorbed by him.

Things like Spirit Stones are rare and hard to come by; to think he could actually see one at a Traditional Chinese Medicine exchange conference—calling this place a Traditional Chinese Medicine exchange conference is truly an injustice, it should be called a Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures exchange conference.

"Friend, where did this stone come from?" Chen Yu suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked with a nonchalant air.

"This, well, it's an heirloom of my ancestors, named 'Taishan Stone.' Legend has it that it's an Immortal-family gate-guarding stone; it has Immortal Qi when it touches the ground and can drive away ghosts and ward off evil..." The stall owner was a glib-tongued fellow, and the moment he opened his mouth, Chen Yu knew he was spouting nonsense.

"Be serious, friend." Chen Yu smiled.

"Alright, I got it from an old man. It looked unusual, and I spent fifty thousand on it." The stall owner smiled awkwardly.

"You didn't spend even fifty for it when you acquired it, did you?" Chen Yu saw at a glance that this guy was a profiteer; would he buy a broken stone for fifty thousand?

"This... hehe, friend, are you interested?" The stall owner chuckled.

"Give it to me for five hundred; the shape of this stone is quite unique." Chen Yu stared at the stone, putting on an interested look.

This stall owner was not like the previous old man; he was definitely a greedy person. Besides, he had picked it up for a few dozen, and Chen Yu would not let such a profiteer make a huge profit.

"Five hundred? Brother, look at the quality of this stone; it's worth at least thirty thousand." The stall owner put on a look of shock.

"Then you should wait for another buyer." Chen Yu smiled, turned his head, and walked away.

"Hey brother, wait! How about this, five thousand, take it for five thousand." The stall owner hurriedly called out to Chen Yu.

"Deal." Chen Yu turned around, transferred the money directly, took a wrapping from his backpack to bundle up the stone, and left.

"Friend." At this moment, someone behind him patted Chen Yu on the shoulder: "Is this stone for sale?"

Chen Yu turned his head to look; behind him were three people in long robes. The leader's strength was already at the Martial Ancestor Realm, and the other two were also at the Martial Master level.

"Sorry, I have a use for this stone." Chen Yu smiled and packed the stone away.

"The price is negotiable; we can give you a good price." The man smiled.

"Really not for sale." Chen Yu shook his head and turned to leave.

"Five hundred thousand, will you sell?" The man called out to Chen Yu.

"Five hundred thousand, my dear mother." The stall owner, who had been cursing Chen Yu as an idiot in secret, had his face collapse instantly. When he bought it, it was for a few dozen, and he had made ten times the profit on the resale.

But what about Chen Yu? With one resale, it was five hundred thousand.

"Really not for sale." Chen Yu shook his head, picked up his backpack, and prepared to leave.

"Friend." That person placed a hand on his shoulder and said sinisterly: "This thing isn't of much use to you, but it is of great use to us."

"Moreover, if you carry this thing around and flaunt it, you will bring a fatal disaster upon yourself."

"How do you know I don't understand its value?" Chen Yu glanced at him coldly: "Let go."

Chen Yu sank his breath, and with a 'whoosh', a surge of Original Power billowed out and surged toward him. The man's tiger's mouth was shaken, and he involuntarily released Chen Yu.

The man was startled; he hadn't expected Chen Yu to be an expert.

Chen Yu glanced at the few people and disappeared quickly.

"Big brother, are we just going to let him go like this?" One of the men behind him said unwillingly.

"He is an expert. Under this stone skin, there is at least a complete Lower Grade Spirit Stone. After Master breaks through to the Extreme Martial Sect Realm, he will pursue the supreme Great Dao and enter the 'Primordial Qi' realm. Once he enters the Primordial Qi Realm, that is Heaven and Human unity, breaking through the limit to reach the entry level of a 'Dharma Cultivator'."

"Spirit Stones replenish Spiritual Energy and are suitable for Dharma Cultivator cultivation, so we are determined to get this Spirit Stone. Follow him immediately, find out the background of this kid, and kill him if necessary."

Chen Yu was carrying a treasure vault and didn't want to stay here any longer. He put the items in the car and turned to leave.

"Surname Chen, it's time to settle our accounts, isn't it?" A cold voice came over, and then five or six people surrounded Chen Yu.

Chen Yu turned his head to look; it was Zhao Zhong.

Having stumbled in Chen Yu's hands time and again, Zhao Zhong naturally couldn't swallow this anger. This time, Chen Yu had caused him to lose hundreds of millions, and he hated Chen Yu directly.

"Chen Yu, you must compensate for Young Master Zhao's losses today." Wang Qi said through gritted teeth.

"His losses, why should I compensate?" Chen Yu looked at this guy in confusion.

"If it weren't for you, how could Young Master Zhao have suffered such a huge loss?" Wang Qi said angrily.

"Young Master Zhao brought you here to appraise things for him. You claimed to be a disciple of some expert and have excellent judgment, but what happened? You only identified these few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures?" Chen Yu sneered: "If we're talking about losses, you should be the one to compensate."

"Shut up! If you hadn't led our train of thought astray, we wouldn't have lost so miserably." Wang Qi was furious; he couldn't afford to bear Zhao Zhong's rage.

"In the end, it's just that you are stupid." Chen Yu glanced at Zhao Zhong.

"What did you say?" Zhao Zhong hated Chen Yu to the core.

"I'm just telling the truth." Chen Yu smiled faintly: "Things have reached this point, tell me what you want to do."

"Chen Yu, you are also a talent." Zhao Zhong looked Chen Yu up and down and said: "How about this, stop hanging out with Xia Tian and come work for me."

"You have good judgment, and I also like to collect some precious treasures; follow me and I won't treat you poorly."

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Xia Tian is?" Chen Yu smiled.

"What is it?" Zhao Zhong asked.

"Xia Tian treats people as friends, but you only treat people as servants, so don't waste your efforts." Chen Yu sneered.

"Then leave two legs behind today." Zhao Zhong glanced at Chen Yu coldly, then waved his hand, and the several people behind him surged toward Chen Yu with malicious expressions.

"Honestly, if I were you, I would never let my subordinates die in vain like this." Chen Yu looked at Zhao Zhong with some pity; this guy probably didn't know that there are people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens.

"Less talk, attack." Zhao Zhong waved his hand, and his several subordinates rushed toward Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was speechless; these people weren't even worth looking at. He grabbed one thug's hand, bent it slightly, and with a 'crack!', the thug screamed and retreated.

Chen Yu took a step forward, threw a punch, and knocked down two people. He killed his way forward, and the five or six thugs were knocked down by him almost instantly.

"Chen Yu, you..." Zhao Zhong was simply stunned. In his view, Chen Yu could appraise antiques, could see Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and could also fight—what else was there that this guy couldn't do?

"Young Master Zhao, don't panic, there's still me." Wang Qi on the side finally saw an opportunity to perform.

He shouted loudly, stepped forward, drew a semicircle on the ground with his right foot, and at the same time stretched out his right hand, revealing two Paper Talismans drawn with mysterious symbols in his hand.
