Chapter 2859: One Stone, Two Embryos

Without delay, the owner stepped forward once again and began opening the glaring jade stone Huang Xiaolong had selected.

As the owner’s hands moved around, stone debris flew in the air. However, he was obviously shaking his head as he went about opening the jade stone. Five minutes later, there was nothing but flying debris. The jade stone Huang Xiaolong had selected only produced bits of clouded jade, and there was not a wisp of spiritual energy. This kind of jade stones absolutely couldn’t produce any embryos.

The smile on Wang Xin’s face deepened further as he watched on.

Quite a few sacred lands’ experts shook their heads.

“Ten billion Tuoshen holy coins, ah! Given to another just like that! I really don’t know how some people’s brains work!”

“Even giant commerce houses’ young masters would feel their hearts bleed for giving away ten billion Tuoshen holy coins for nothing! Not to mention, that person would have to call himself an idiot ten thousand times. When today’s event spreads out, where is he going to put his face?!”

Some experts whispered with their companions.

Many of them began envying Wang Xin’s luck as this was literally a pie of ten billion Tuoshen holy coins falling from the sky. If it were them, they would probably grin involuntarily for several years, non-stop.

Long Jianfei and Duan Feng’s faces were twisted like bitter gourds.

Regret wrung their guts at this moment as they lamented luring Huang Xiaolong here to play stone guessing!

If they hadn’t brought the matter up to Huang Xiaolong, it wouldn’t have triggered Huang Xiaolong’s interest, and he wouldn’t have ended up making a bet with Wang Xin, finally falling into this kind of situation.

Even though they were aware that Huang Xiaolong had the Huang Long Bloodline, bloodline was merely one of many factors that slightly increased one’s accuracy in stone guessing, and the current situation told them that Huang Xiaolong’s Huang Long Bloodline’s accuracy was lousy!

At least, the jade stone in front of them was a mistake!

From the current situation, it was impossible for the jade stone chosen by Huang Xiaolong to contain any embryo.

Another five minutes passed by.

Still, there was only jade debris from Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone.

Wang Xin’s laughter sounded from time to time, and the words from the Dragon Fish Creed’s outer disciples behind him became rowdier. They couldn’t be bothered to spare attention to Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone.

In Wang Xin’s eyes, the outcome had already been decided.

Another fifteen minutes went by, it was still jade debris and bits.

By now, more than half of Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone had been shaved off.

Wang Xin swaggered towards Huang Xiaolong and just as he was about to demand Huang Xiaolong to fulfill his part of the bet, someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed, “What’s that?!!”

Wang Xin’s feet froze for a split second, and he felt strange. He turned and looked at Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone like many people were doing.

Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone that had been producing nothing but jade debris had spiritual energy flowing out of it. On top of that, this spiritual energy’s purity seemed to be higher. It was much purer than the spiritual energy from his jade stone!

This!

Wang Xin was dumbfounded, staring in one direction with an incredulous expression. Why is it like this?

Everyone in the crowd had similar expressions on their faces.

Even the owner’s hands faltered and froze in the air as he stared at the jade stone before him in shock. A jade stone that everyone was certain could not produce any embryo was actually releasing such pure spiritual energy in the end?!

“Continue!” When Huang Xiaolong saw that the owner had suddenly stopped moving, he urged him.

The owner was jolted back to his senses and continued opening the jade stone.

As the owner continued, more spiritual energy flowed out, rippling in the air, as if there was an ocean of spiritual energy inside the small jade stone! One could even hear the sounds of waves!

This only happened when spiritual energy reached a certain level.

“This, this, what’s going on? Why is it like this?!” The confident smile on Wang Xin’s face had completely vanished, and his face was distorted. At this point, even a noob could tell that there was an embryo inside Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone.

On top of that, the grade of the embryo inside Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone could be even higher than Wang Xin’s!

“Senior Brother Wang Xin, his jade stone is not completely open yet. It’s merely some paltry amount of spiritual energy. It’s not necessarily an embryo!” a Dragon Fish Creed’s outer disciple said to Wang Xin.

“That’s right, Senior Brother Wang Xin, it’s not for sure his jade will have an embryo!” another Dragon Fish Creed’s outer disciple chimed in.

Right after the outer disciple comforted Wang Xin, someone shouted, “Embryo!”

Embryo!

Wang Xin’s heart sank as his gaze fell onto the jade stone. Indeed, rippling rich spiritual energy was flowing out from Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone, forming the ethereal outline of an embryo!

𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

But soon, everyone was baffled as this embryo from Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone didn’t seem to be of very high grade. Although it hadn’t been verified, it was probably a mid-rank xiantian grade embryo.

The owner and the shop’s experts stepped forward to assess the embryo’s grade, and reached an unanimous result, the embryo from Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone was a mid-rank xiantian grade.

Long Jianfei and Duan Feng were overjoyed when they had felt that the spiritual energy coming from Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone was purer than Wang Xin’s, but their hearts drowned in disappointment at the assessment result, and their faces showed it.

The gloom on Wang Xin’s face was swept away in an instant by the smile on his face, and he walked towards Huang Xiaolong. “Excuse me, although your jade stone also has an embryo, the grade is a tad lower than mine. Therefore, you lose!”

“This time, you have no more excuses, right?” Wang Xin reached out his hand and demanded, “Ten billion Tuoshen holy coins!” He also reminded, “Don’t forget to say you are an idiot ten thousand times on the spot!”

“Of course, your legs cannot be forgotten!” Wang Xin sneered.

Huang Xiaolong’s cold gaze swept over Wang Xin and then returned to the owner, “My jade stone is not done yet. Continue.”

Everyone was flabbergasted.

No one really understood what Huang Xiaolong was playing at.

Even the owner’s reaction was a beat slow. He took a look at Huang Xiaolong’s remaining jade stone. Is this kid saying there’s another embryo within this ten percent of jade stone?

How, how is that possible?

The probability of getting two embryos when opening one jade stone was almost zero. He had been in business for so many years, and he had been opening stones for tens of thousands of years, but he had come across that situation only once!

There were numerous shops on this jade stone trading street, and countless disciples came here every day to open stones, but in all these years, there had only been four times when a jade stone had contained two embryos!

Wang Xin also reacted and understood Huang Xiaolong’s intention, so he signaled the owner smilingly, “You continue then because if you don’t shave the jade stone down to the last inch, this person won’t give up!”

Wang Xin looked at Huang Xiaolong with malice as he didn't believe that the little remaining jade stone had another embryo.

Others who caught on also shook their heads, thinking that Huang Xiaolong was daydreaming in broad daylight.

Thus, under Wang Xin’s eyes filled with bloodlust and others’ disappointed gazes, the owner went to work on the rest of Huang Xiaolong’s jade stone. However, when the owner’s hand pared off a part of the jade stone just once, vigorous spiritual energy rushed madly out from the jade stone like an angry, uncontrollable flood.

Everyone was dazed for a second, and their expressions changed to one of shock and disbelief.

Wang Xin’s eyeballs protruded with disbelief, and he was utterly stupefied.

“This, this, no, how could this be? Impossible… How is this possible?!” Wang Xin denied incoherently under his breath.

A cold sneer curved up Huang Xiaolong’s mouth as he ordered the owner, “Continue!”

A shiver ran down the owner’s body. He took a deep breath and continued with his work. One, two, three, and at the fourth move, spiritual energy came roaring out, accompanied by a pleasant sound that rang between heaven and earth. The entire field could hear it. At this moment, everyone in the enormous trading field stopped whatever they were doing.
