Sneaky Thief Xiao Ji works

Chapter 1030: Enlightenment Stone

    

ef steward was anxious. He had seen Shen Xiang refine Life Saving Pill before, but now Shen Xiang’s level was far from what he saw, making him believe that Shen Xiang wasn’t performing well due to the...The chapter title "Realization Stone" now makes sense to everyone. Even though they lost, the fact that they were able to befriend so many powerful figures was seen as worthwhile. Especially when considering the fact that they managed to befriend not only the powerful demons of Demon Echo Heaven, but also the demon queen. This was something that many ancient factions struggled to accomplish.

Even someone like Li Baoguan was difficult to befriend!

"So, I'm starting!" Li Baoguan chuckled mischievously, his face full of pride. Everyone believed he was going to win before the grin spread across his face.

His fingers trembled as they reached out and touched the obsidian ice in front of him. Everyone held their breath, especially those from Golden Sunshine Tower. As long as this moment passed, they would know whether they were the winners or losers!

Many people wanted to stop it because they also wished to bet, but lacked the sufficient crystalline stones.

Li Baoguan's fingers felt like heated iron as they lightly touched the green obsidian ice. Everyone swallowed their saliva in anticipation, and at that moment, the green obsidian ice爆閃出了 a white light!

The sight of this dazzling light caused everyone's hearts to stop with excitement. Clearly, there was precious treasure shining through it. Shen Xiang managed to turn the tide and won on this last piece of obsidian ice! Many were in disbelief since Shen Xiang had won so much!

After the white light faded, everyone waited for the shattered obsidian ice. Inside was a palm-sized green stone with countless dense spiritual patterns. Everyone shouted in surprise, burying their heads on the ground.

These people had used their divine consciousness to peer into this green stone, wondering why they suddenly experienced extreme pain, as if their heads were about to explode.

"Hehe, I won!" Shen Xiang laughed loudly as he picked up the green stone.

Lyu Qinlian sighed, "You lose when you bet. Take it." She was only配合 Shen Xiang for the performance, as she would return it to him later.

"Two quintillion crystalline stones!" Shen Xiang collected Li Baoguan and Ly Qinlian's crystalline stones, then looked at Shi Fengrong and the others.

The old folks from Golden Sunshine Tower had green faces, their expressions as ugly as could be. They were completely defeated and would have to give Shen Xiang the crystalline stones, knowing that even the demon queen was willing to accept defeat. Moreover, they were men and there were many people watching!

One quintillion 500 billion crystalline stones were the stakes, the other five billion was for Shen Xiang to buy these obsidian ice. In everyone's eyes, despite being silly and having too many crystalline stones, Shen Xiang managed to make a huge profit of almost three quintillion crystalline stones. This was something even from mining many veins from a powerful faction's territory could not achieve.

Naturally, everyone was more curious about the green stone inside the obsidian ice. Not only those with weaker strength, but many who believed their strength was not weak would experience extreme pain when using divine consciousness to peek into the stone!

"What is this" Li Baoguan covered his head as he walked over, unable to escape even his own fate.

"It's a Realization Stone. Also called a Enlightenment Stone. It's something that naturally grows from the great ways of nature, essentially a stone that has achieved enlightenment on its own. It doesn't possess any strength by itself, but the realization of nature's ways exceeds common people, even saying that this stone embodies a soul fragment of nature itself! Whoever holds it can double their understanding and learning when interacting with natural ways, making things more convenient to use the power of nature." White Tiger said proudly. It was stunned as it never expected that these obsidian ice contained something they had sought for years.

This matter might cause the news of obsidian ice to spread far and wide! Turning out Enlightenment Stones, something that helps humans defy the heavens!

"Even in Heaven realm, this Enlightenment Stone is an invaluable treasure!" Ly Qinlian took a deep breath and dared not look at the Enlightenment Stone again. "Only those with this Enlightenment Stone can use it!"

The old folks from Golden Sunshine Tower's faces grew even greener. They regretted not breaking open the obsidian ice and selling them in this way, losing almost three quintillion for nothing! They might also have lost the chance to obtain an Enlightenment Stone!

Shen Xiang immediately dripped blood to claim ownership. A strange green light emanated from the Enlightenment Stone, covering the courtyard, causing everyone to feel a peculiar sensation. It was hard to describe that feeling but made them feel enlightened, resolving their problems in cultivation. Many believed they could break through barriers after returning to cultivate!

The Enlightenment Stone was indeed a wondrous treasure. If Golden Sunshine Tower knew there were such items in the obsidian ice, they wouldn't sell them for ten quintillion crystalline stones. This made Shi Fengrong and the others wish to snatch it, but they didn't dare do so since the demon queen was present.

"There are still many obsidian ice left here! You can ask for your price!" Shen Xiang swept through the courtyard, and everyone knew he was going to acquire it all. Since he just won so many crystalline stones, combined with him being a wealthy man, it wasn't problematic for him to take them all.

"You don't want to sell" Shen Xiang shook his head and chuckled, "Then forget it. If I were you, I wouldn't sell now either!"

Lyu Qinlian couldn't help but laugh as she saw the dispirited look on Golden Sunshine Tower's people from their struggle with Shen Xiang. "The possibility of a treasure being in obsidian ice is very slim, and it's heavily reliant on luck. If you're unlucky, even breaking thousands of obsidian ice might not yield anything."

"The ancient territory of Coldness is vast, with millions of obsidian ice. But the ones containing treasures are like sand grains in a bucket."

Shi Fengrong tried hard to improve his expression, thinking deeply before saying, "Young friend, we don't plan on selling anymore unless you offer a high price! It's undeniable that our obsidian ice can produce treasures, so it's normal for us to raise prices temporarily."

"How much" Shen Xiang asked.

"Thirty quintillion crystalline stones!" Shi Fengrong's words made many people secretly disdain him as he was clearly not willing to sell. If Shen Xiang bought the next few pieces and got lucky, Golden Sunshine Tower would fare better.

Shen Xiang shook his head, "Five quintillion crystalline stones. I want them all! Will you sell or not"

"No!"

"Eight quintillion!" Shen Xiang added.

Suddenly, Shi Fengrong realized that Shen Xiang could determine whether there was anything inside the obsidian ice. This was why he insisted on bidding higher.

"I said it earlier! Thirty quintillion!" Shi Fengrong declared.

Seeing Shen Xiang repeatedly upping the stakes, everyone and Shi Fengrong felt that Shen Xiang possessed the ability to determine whether there was treasure in obsidian ice, thus wanting to acquire all of it.

"Ten quintillion!" Shen Xiang frowned, with the tone slightly rushed. Clearly ten quintillion was his limit. Everyone looked at him in confusion, wondering about the background and vast amount of crystalline stones this silly giant possessed. Even those from Immortal Families and Holy Realms couldn't do it so smoothly.

"We're not selling. We've decided to break open these obsidian ice now, unless you can offer thirty quintillion!" Shi Fengrong said firmly.
