Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 350: Arm of a Golden Core Realm Expert



Chapter 350: Arm of a Golden Core Realm Expert

Qian Jiuye smiled faintly and said, "Second Brother, we haven’t even started. How can you know who the winner is? If Master Wu really has such extraordinary skills, why would he need to listen to your orders?"

Qian Feng smiled and didn't say anything more.

While Master Wu indeed couldn't predict every outcome, his profound experience was not something ordinary people could compare with.

Seeing that both sides had chosen their Immortal Origin Stones, Tong Baizhou smiled and said, "Today's stone gambling involves two prominent figures, so I have invited my father to come out of seclusion. He specially rushed over to the imperial capital for the occasion, and he mentioned that he'd personally evaluate the worth of everything these Stones contain. Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was shocked!

The owner of the Jade River Pavilion?! The mysterious Golden Core Realm practitioner who rarely appeared in public, the one who was rumored to have opened an immortal cave in a place with abundant spiritual energy in the Grand Qian Empire and spent years in seclusion cultivating?

The pavilion's daily affairs were usually handled by Tong Baizhou. But now, his father was actually coming personally to oversee the event!

This was Qian Jiuye and Qian Feng's first time learning about this too, so their expressions turned more serious.

Even though they were princes, they weren't even at the Foundation Building Realm, so facing a Golden Core Realm cultivator still made them feel uneasy.

That person from the Jade River Pavilion was often able to discuss and exchange views with the ancestors of the imperial family. Even their father, the emperor of the Grand Qian Empire, would respectfully address himself as a junior whenever they met!

Hardly had Tong Baizhou announced this when everyone saw a flash appear before their eyes.

A figure had appeared next to Tong Baizhou.

"Father," Tong Baizhou said respectfully.

“Greetings, Senior Tong!”

Whether it was the people in the crowd or Qian Jiuye, Qian Feng, Jue Wudi, they all bowed respectfully toward this person.

Fang Chen's divine soul quietly observed the newcomer.

The person was dressed in a plain white linen robe. He didn't wear any extra adornments, and his hair was tied with a blue cloth strip. He appeared young and seemed to only be in his forties. But his eyes were filled with vicissitudes as if he had experienced hundreds of years of life.

Fang Chen's eyes were serious. Tong Baizhou and Jue Wudi are Spirit Blood Sect cultivators, and this person... most likely is also from the Spirit Blood Sect.

According to what Fang Chen knew about how the Spirit Blood Sect operated, this person was highly likely arranged by the Spirit Blood Sect as their leader in the Grand Qian Empire.

Tong Hu nodded slightly. He glanced at Qian Jiuye and Qian Feng, smiled faintly, and asked, "Have you two chosen your Immortal Origin Stones?"

Both of them nodded quickly.

"Then let's start opening them." Tong Hu smiled. "Who’s first?"

"Second Brother, you are older, so please go ahead," said Qian Jiuye.

Qian Feng smiled. "Alright, I'll go first then."

He glanced at Master Wu, who nodded slightly before opening the first stone.

This Stone was the one with the hand within it.

With Master Wu's skilled technique, the layers were peeled away inch by inch.

Everyone dared not even breathe loudly, their eyes fixed firmly on the stone.

Soon, a withered palm appeared.

"What is this?!"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

This withered palm looked ordinary and had nothing special about it, with little spiritual energy circulating within.

Master Wu furrowed his brows slightly and subconsciously looked at Qian Feng.

Qian Feng smiled faintly and said, "No harm done. Even horses can stumble, let alone humans. Everyone makes mistakes."

Qian Jiuye's face showed a hint of a smile. The fact that the first Stone had turned out to be a flunk was extremely in his favor.

Suddenly, Tong Hu showed a frown, and he stepped forward, taking the withered arm from Master Wu's hand. "What is this…?"

Everyone was taken aback. Could this arm be valuable?

Qian Jiuye suddenly felt a bit nervous. He subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen. Seeing Fang Chen's calm demeanor, he relaxed a little.

"The owner of this arm should have been a Golden Core cultivator." Tong Hu suddenly spoke up. "There is plenty of spiritual energy in the flesh, but your cultivation levels are not enough to perceive it."

With that, he gently tapped the arm, and immediately, the withered arm became flesh and blood again, as if it had just been severed. Vigorous blood and abundant spiritual power kept flowing out.

"The flesh of a Golden Core Realm cultivator is different from ordinary cultivators, having been tempered by their Golden Core over the years. If an evil cultivator uses this arm to refine pills, it can also serve as a good medicinal catalyst," said Tong Hu lightly. "It's valued at five hundred low-grade spirit stones."

Five hundred!

A slight smile curved at the corner of Master Wu's mouth. He spent four hundred and managed to obtain a treasure worth five hundred, which meant that they had already earned a hundred low-grade spirit stones!

Qian Feng couldn't help but applaud. "Master Wu, you're amazing."

"Second Prince, it's just my luck. Without Senior Tong's insight, even if I obtain something good, I wouldn't recognize its value," said Master Wu said modestly while taking the chance to flatter Tong Hu a bit.

Since the first treasure of the event had been unearthed, the attention of the crowd unconsciously shifted over to Prince Qian Jiuye's side.

Qian Jiuye looked at Fang Chen and asked, "Master Fang, which one do you think we should open first?"

Qing Feng grinned and said, "Why not the one worth four thousand low-grade spirit stones?"

Fang Chen pointed to the first Immortal Origin Stone he selected while ignoring the Second Prince. "Let's go with that one."

He wanted to see if the Golden Core Realm expert could recognize this withered branch.

Fang Chen personally went to open the stone, and everyone watched intently, occasionally whispering among themselves.

Tong Hu's gaze lingered on Fang Chen for a moment. He already knew about Fang Chen opening a mid-grade spirit stone.

Tong Hu furrowed his brows slightly. "I can't see through his cultivation level. He must have a hidden treasure on him."

Even someone like him who was in the Golden Core Realm couldn't see through Fang Chen's cultivation level. That could only mean that the treasure Fang Chen used to mask his cultivation level was pretty valuable.

Master Wu was smiling as he watched Fang Chen's every move, seemingly confident. He relied on experience and strength, while Fang Chen seemed to rely solely on luck.

The outcome of their bet was already predetermined.

As the surface of the Immortal Origin Stone was peeled away bit by bit, a dried tree branch suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Shortly after, surging wood elemental energy swept out like a wave!

Everyone was stunned.

The wood elemental energy filled the Jade River Pavilion, even spilling out onto the street outside.

The experienced managers along the street immediately ordered their attendants to close shop for the time being as they made their way over to the Jade River Pavilion.

"The Jade River Pavilion found something good again!"

"Quick, let's go take a look!"

Waves of cultivators rushed into the Jade River Pavilion.

However, Fang Chen's movements weren't hindered by the commotion outside. He continued to reveal the treasure in his hand without damaging it in the slightest.

Qian Feng's eyes showed a hint of seriousness. "What is this!? Why is there such strong wood elemental energy!?"

Master Wu's expression froze for a moment, then he forced a smile and said, "It might be a spiritual herb. It's okay, he just has better luck."

Qian Feng nodded slowly.

If it was a spiritual herb, that would be fine. Even if it was a top-grade spiritual herb, its value would only be a few hundred low-grade spirit stones.

The real value of a spiritual herb lies in refining it into a pill.

"Haha, Fang Jue, we definitely made a profit!"

Qian Jiuye was somewhat excited and pulled at Fang Jue a few times.

Fang Jue smiled. He couldn't help but feel amazed at how good Fang Chen's luck was.

Last time, Fang Chen managed to make a killing. And right now, he did it again!

Soon, the withered branch was revealed, and the wood elemental energy it released completely dissipated.

The crowd took a look at the withered branch, and they couldn't help but feel that it wasn't anything special.

Even Qian Jiuye's smile began to disappear.

People looked at each other with strange expressions.

Qian Feng couldn't help but start laughing. "It turns out it just accumulated some wood elemental energy. Turns out this item is not valuable at all!"

Master Wu couldn't help but laugh along.
