Shen Yuan Ring

"Sigh, I thought we'd found something good again, but it's just a lifeless, dead egg." One of them said with a disappointed look, as if the rough stone were his own.

He was so disappointed he could hardly contain himself; he was practically beating his chest in frustration.

One of the men next to him chimed in, "Even if it's just a dead egg with no value, he's still made a killing on his purchase of rough stones. Damn, we were so sure he wouldn't buy any rough stones, but we were proven wrong so quickly. It seems he was just playing dumb to fool everyone."

"Who says otherwise? But he wasn't just pretending to be weak! He's clearly a master of jade gambling. I think he must have some secret to know the contents of the raw stone, otherwise how do you explain his gains from this stone cutting?"

"However, he is all alone, and by showing off his wealth so ostentatiously, he may have the life to take it but not the life to enjoy it."

More than one person in the crowd was eyeing Wu De like a wolf or a tiger. If it weren't for the fact that fighting was not allowed in the Guyue Stone Gambling House, Wu De would probably have been completely devoured.

The moment the deep blue egg emerged from the raw stone, many people couldn't wait to use their mental power to examine it.

The burning gazes that had been fixed on the beast egg turned to disappointment when people realized it was a dead egg. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought the egg was theirs.

However, many people breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more at ease.

Although Wu De's dozen or so raw stones are not a lot, you should know that in this inner courtyard, the daily output is only a few dozen stones.

After all, not everyone who comes to this inner courtyard is there to buy raw stones; most people are there to watch the spectacle. The Gu Yue family knows this but neither points it out nor forbids it.

Even though most people don't spend money, it is their patronage that has made Guyue Stone Gambling House the most famous stone gambling house in Shicheng.

When Wu De saw that the last piece of raw stone had yielded a blue monster egg, he was excited and quickly stepped forward to pick it up. A chilling sensation emanated from it, making him think he was about to be frozen solid.

You see, he was very envious of Ji Daoyi for having an obedient demon beast, but the best way to raise such an obedient and non-devouring demon beast was to raise it from a young age.

However, it is very difficult to capture a promising and obedient young demon beast. You should know that those young beasts with precious bloodlines are all protected by their parents.

If it's just an ordinary monster, it's better not to raise it at all.

This monster egg was clearly no ordinary item, and Wu De was naturally overjoyed.

So I started doing it without thinking.

Therefore, they were caught off guard and attacked by the cold air emanating from the monster egg.

Wu De quickly focused his Yuan Power on his palm to insulate against the biting cold of the blue monster egg.

With the isolation provided by the Yuan energy, Wu De's hands felt better and were not frostbitten by the cold.

Even so, he could still feel a slight chill in his palm.

Master Lai, who was opposite Wu De, was also surprised to see the Yuan energy emanating from Wu De's palm.

So he asked Wu De, "Young man, what happened to you?"

Wu De didn't hide anything and said, "I was just too anxious. I didn't expect this monster egg to be so cold. It almost froze my hands."

"Ok?"

Not only was Master Lai, who was skilled at stone cutting, puzzled, but even the onlookers were surprised by Wu De's answer.

He released his mental energy once again at the group that had already been judged to be dead.

As a result, dozens of spiritual forces surrounded the monster egg in Wu De's hand like a raging flood.

Even Master Lai began to stare intently at the monster egg, looking at it from the left and right.

Everyone else wanted to confirm whether the monster egg was still alive, while Master Lai just wanted to confirm what kind of monster egg it was.

Initially, he only determined whether the monster egg he opened had any life, without looking closely at what kind of egg it was.

But it was only when Wu De said he was almost injured by the cold air emanating from the monster egg that he truly began to examine it closely.

After a while,

Master Lai suddenly realized and muttered to himself, "So that's how it is, so that's how it is."

"Master Lai, what are you saying?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just meant that your luck is truly enviable, young man," Master Lai said, looking at Wu De with a face full of envy.

Hearing Master Lai's flattering words, Wu De was a little confused and didn't understand what he meant at all.

He had unearthed quite a few good items from these rough stones, but he only made a small profit.

While it's true that good luck is a matter of chance, Ji Daoyi had asked him to buy these raw stones, and he was merely responsible for making the purchases.

He naturally wouldn't say that all these rough stones were selected by Ji Daoyi.

Wu De could only laugh awkwardly, "It really was luck. If I had to choose carefully myself, I might not have made a profit."

Upon hearing Wu De's reply, Master Lai knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning.

"Young man, you've misunderstood. The luck I'm talking about isn't anything else, but rather the monster egg in your hand!"

"what?"

Master Lai ignored Wu De's bewildered exclamation and continued, "The monster egg in your hand is the egg of the Blazing Frost Serpent! At first, I also thought it was a dead egg, so I didn't think much of it. It was only when I heard you say that you were almost frostbitten by the cold air it emitted that I realized it was the egg laid by the monster Blazing Frost Serpent."

"I was fortunate enough to see it once a few hundred years ago, otherwise I would never have known it. The Blazing Frost Serpent is very difficult to find in the outside world. It usually only exists in some mountains and deep in the territory of monsters, so not many people know it."

"Although it can block spiritual detection, as long as you touch it with your hands, you will be invaded by the strong cold air it emits. If you are not careful, you will be frostbitten by the cold air it emits. Compared with the frostbite, the deadly poison in the cold air it emits is more deadly."

"You were lucky to use your Yuan energy to isolate yourself from the cold air in time, and you were not poisoned. Otherwise, you would be poisoned by now."

Upon hearing Master Lai's words, Wu De was so frightened that he quickly put down the monster egg in his hand.

He looked terrified.

“Master Lai, according to you, this monster egg still has a chance of survival? It's not a dead egg? And this cold air is also highly poisonous.”

"That's natural. And as long as you find an extremely cold place and put it there, it will definitely hatch within a month. However, as long as you use your Yuan Power to isolate the cold air from entering your body, you won't get poisoned. After all, this is just a way for the young Blazing Frost Serpent to protect itself."

As Wu De listened to Master Lai's detailed explanation of the knowledge points, his heart trembled involuntarily.

He quickly thanked him, saying, "I see, thank you for telling me, Master Lai."

"Young brother, if you are willing to sell this Blazing Frost Serpent, our Gu Yue family can offer five million yuan stones! I believe no one here can offer such a high price!"

Wu De naturally wouldn't sell it. He wasn't stupid; the fact that the Gu Yue family was willing to pay several million yuan worth of stones to buy it showed its value.

Good things should be kept for oneself.
