"It’s Glass Type Icy Blue Jade!"
When the rough stone was completely opened up, a palm-sized piece of jade appeared before everyone’s eyes, sparkling with a blue glow, crystal-clear, and most importantly, containing an extremely rich concentration of Spiritual Energy.
Based on his judgment, the concentration of Spiritual Energy within this piece of jade was definitely higher than the total amount of Spiritual Energy in all the other pieces of jade he had just acquired.
Seeing this piece of jade, everyone present exclaimed, their eyes revealing an incredibly shocked expression.
"Mr., I’ll offer thirty million for this piece of Glass Type!"
A evidently wealthy individual stared at Xiao Yifeng and said directly, with a gleam in his eyes fixed on the piece of jade in Xiao Yifeng’s hand.
"I’ll offer fifty million!"
"I’ll offer one billion!"
A group of people called out their bids, one more outrageous than the next, directly causing the owner who had sold the rough stone for three million to feel a crushing urge to commit suicide—it was just too infuriating.
In the face of these high bids, Xiao Yifeng simply spit out two indifferent words, placing the jade into his bag and continued to scan with his penetrative vision to see if there were any other pieces of jade rich in Spiritual Energy.
Soon, Xiao Yifeng’s eyes condensed, and his gaze swept toward a stall in the distance as he walked over.
Seeing Xiao Yifeng walking toward his stall, the owner immediately perked up.
"How much for these rough stones?"
Xiao Yifeng nonchalantly inquired about a few rough stones, only for the owner to blurt out two words in response.
Then, Xiao Yifeng’s gaze shifted to a football-sized, dark and unimpressive rough stone beside the stall and asked, "What about this one?"
"That one’s even less for sale!"
The owner hastily said, obviously having decided not to sell any rough stones after witnessing what had happened to his brother earlier, intending to open them all himself when the time came.
"Really not for sale?"
Xiao Yifeng stared at him, his eyes beginning to shimmer with a purple light as he unleashed the Soul-Capturing Eyes.
"For sale, for sale!"
The owner nodded woodenly.
Xiao Yifeng smiled lightly, paid for the purchase, picked up the dark and unappealing rough stone, and began to open it, while everyone’s gaze was fixed on Xiao Yifeng, curious to see if such a dull-looking stone could once again yield Jadeite Jade.
Fragments splattered from the rough stone as it was slowly cut open, and soon a fist-sized Crystal appeared before everyone’s eyes.
"What kind of stone is this? Why haven’t I seen it before?"
"This doesn’t look like jade, does it?"
Those present stared at the Crystal, all with puzzled and confused expressions, clearly having never seen it before.
Xiao Yifeng, however, looked at the fist-sized Crystal with an excited twinkle in his eye—others might not know what it was,
but Xiao Yifeng had seen this object before. He had obtained a few such Crystals from the body of Elder Xu of Wuji Sect, whom he had killed, and it was because of these that his abilities had been enhanced.
This Crystal was different from a Spirit Stone; the energy contained within it seemed more advanced than that of Spiritual Energy, as if it were the essence of countless Spiritual Energies condensed together, a higher quality of a whole other level.
With this Crystal, and the Jadeite Jades he had unearthed today, he was confident he could enhance his abilities to the peak of Gang Qi Realm, which was a great boon for him.
"Elder Du, what is that thing, is it a Spirit Stone? It doesn’t seem to look like one,"
At the moment, standing to one side were an elderly man and a young man—the two from the hotel last night. The young man was currently fixated on the Crystal in Xiao Yifeng’s hand, his face displaying a hint of curiosity.
"It’s not a Spirit Stone, but it contains an extremely powerful energy. If one could absorb it, they might be able to swiftly enhance their strength. It must be some kind of precious and miraculous stone!"
The elderly man’s eyes were locked onto the Crystal as he spoke in a serious tone.
"A strength enhancer!"
Upon hearing that remark, a gleam flashed across the young man’s eyes, and he made a beeline toward it.
"I’ll take this stone. Name your price!"
The young man strutted up to Xiao Yifeng and asserted arrogantly.
Xiao Yifeng replied bluntly.
"What if I insist on buying it?"
A cold gleam flickered in the youth’s eyes as he spoke forcefully.
"Are you deaf? Can’t you understand? I said it’s not for sale!"
Xiao Yifeng snorted coldly, clutching the crystal and the bag of jade stones as he turned to leave.
The young man’s expression darkened, and an aura began to surge from him as he was about to take action, but the elder stopped him.
"Young Master, there’s no need to rush!"
The elder shook his head at the young man.
The youth’s eyes shimmered with cold light, momentarily suppressing the rage inside him.
"Mr. Xiao, you seem to have hit the jackpot this time, what a bountiful haul!"
Qin Wanting looked at Xiao Yifeng with sheer astonishment on her face.
"Little Feeng, do you possess some kind of special skill? How can you so impressively determine whether each raw stone contains jade? Could it be that you’ve developed X-ray vision?"
Qin Mo’s face was full of curiosity as he stared at Xiao Yifeng, his eyes brimming with conjecture.
"Perhaps I am naturally sensitive to jade stones and have a special perception of them, which is why I can always find jade in the stones I choose."
Xiao Yifeng made up an excuse casually; of course, he wasn’t about to reveal the truth about his ability to see through objects.
Although Qin Mo was puzzled, he did not probe any further.
"Do you wish to continue looking?"
Xiao Yifeng’s gaze turned to Qin Mo and Qin Wanting.
"I’m afraid all the stones that could possibly contain jade have been picked clean by you. There seems to be no point in looking further."
Qin Mo said with a soft smile.
"Ah, my apologies, Elder Qin. How about I give you a few pieces of jade as a gesture? What do you say?"
Xiao Yifeng spoke somewhat awkwardly.
"There’s no need. It seems you really need the jade, and I wouldn’t want to deprive you of your love!"
"It’s nothing, just a few pieces of jade!"
Xiao Yifeng insisted, though in the end, Qin Mo still refused.
Soon they left the betting on stones event and prepared to return to the hotel.
However, as their car had only made it halfway, a black sedan blocked their path.
"Trouble has found us!"
Xiao Yifeng’s eyes flashed with an unusual light as he said to Qin Wanting and Qin Mo, "Miss Qin, Elder Qin, please stay in the car and don’t get out. I’ll handle this!"
After Xiao Yifeng finished speaking, he got out of the car.
At that moment the black sedan’s door opened. The same youth and elder from before stepped out, followed by two men with stern expressions and sharp eyes. These two individuals had pronounced temples and radiated a sharp aura, clearly, martial artists.
"So you couldn’t buy it, and now you’re thinking of robbing me?"
Xiao Yifeng looked at the young man and sneered.
