I Am the Fated Villain

Chapter 534: The old friend reunited, Another toad who wanted to eat swan meat

From a very long distance, it exuded a terrifying pressure that could make one’s heart tremble, which was breathtaking. Rays of divine lights swept across the sky as it descended from distant realms, and rushed to Kunwu City.

Within the past few days, too many great figures had descended upon Kunwu City. Even throwing a stone down might hit an Elder of a certain Immortal force. Many cultivators even felt that there was some kind of extremely powerful Enlightenment fluctuation, which disappeared from Kunwu City in an instant, making people palpitate.

Among the forces that came to help the Ji family, they even brought Emperor Realm weapons and tried to invade Mount Kun. Such a move was so rare that it disturbed all directions. It could be said that such a thing had rarely been seen in these epochs.

Previously, the Upper Realm raised troops to attack the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions, but that was the power of the entire realm. Yet now it was facing the forbidden land of Mount Kun.

As for whether there were any Enlightened beings alive in Mount Kun, this matter had always been a mystery. Because none of the cultivators or creatures who had entered Mount Kun could return alive.

If the Ancestor of the Ji family could be successfully rescued this time, it would be tantamount to breaking this precedent.

Currently, in a gambling stone workshop in Kunwu City. A young man in disguise was mingling with a cultivator, looking at it from time to time as if discussing something.

The young man was quite handsome with a tall and straight figure, exuding an aura that was completely different from ordinary people. As for the cultivator next to him, although he looked benevolent, he gave people a feeling of being difficult to get along with.

“Benefactor Jiang Chen, you see, as the descendant of Divine Origin Master, you should know what is hidden in these strange stones, right?”

The two of them were Jiang Chen and Monk Pudu. It was Monk Pudu who spoke. He smiled and added as his eyes flickered glancing over the many strange stones in the Gambling Stone Workshop.

Jiang Chen looked natural and calm before he nodded and replied, “Of course.”

The general trend of the world, the evolution of mountains and rivers, etc. were all within the scope of deduction and exploration of the Good Fortune Immortal Boat. Although he couldn’t directly see through what was hidden in those strange stones. But with the feeling, he could perceive the rarity of the things within it.

Not to mention that during this period of time, he had become more and more familiar in the cooperation with the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Boat. He could even activate some of the power that belonged to the Immortal Boat.

The gambling stone workshop in front of him seemed to be tailor-made for him.

“That’s good. After a while, the little cultivator will be responsible for paying for the rough stones, and Jiang Chen, the benefactor, will be responsible for the selection. The things that are cut out, Jiang Chen benefactor, you and we will share equally. What do you think?”

With Jiang Chen’s guarantee, Monk Pudu couldn’t help but smile authentically, which was quite different from his kind-hearted image. Jiang Chen didn’t hesitate for long, and directly nodded in agreement.

He and Monk Pudu were old acquaintances, so naturally he would not doubt Monk Pudu’s character.

Of course, there was another layer of relationship. He was indeed short of money now, and most of his money was used to procure cultivation resources. The rough stones here were expensive, because they were mined near Mount Kun, and the price was much higher than the rough stones in other ancient cities.

Afterwards, the two squeezed away the cultivators in front of them, and walked toward the higher pavilion of Gambling Stone Workshop. Monk Pudu was obviously a regular customer of Gambling Stone Workshop, and he understood that the rough stones in the pavilion below were actually from the outermost periphery of Mount Kun, and rare things could be indeed cut out.

Soon, the two arrived at the third floor of the pavilion, in the presence of the colored mist. The venue was quite spacious and unique, and the rough stones placed in various places also erupted with various colors of light.

There was even a change in some rough stones. The cultivators here were far inferior to the cultivators below in terms of tolerance and cultivation, and they obviously had a lot of background.

Jiang Chen even saw a lot of disciples from the Immortal Sects, who had an extraordinary demeanor.

“Jiang Chen benefactor, you can choose whichever one you like.”

After arriving here, Monk Pudu displayed a smile on his face, obviously trusting Jiang Chen very much.

Jiang Chen didn’t talk nonsense, with some divine light in his eyes, he was talking with the Artifact Spirit of Good Fortune Immortal Boat in his mind, while looking for the origin stone placed before them.

“Little Chen, pick this one. Yes, it is the biggest one in the middle…” The Artifact Spirit of Good Fortune Immortal Boat urged.

Jiang Chen nodded, and his eyes landed on the largest rough stone in the middle of the third floor, which had a breadth that required a few people hugging it together. It looked uneven and had many small bumps. Compared with the other rough stones that exuded brilliant rays of light, it looked good.

“I want this piece.” Jiang Chen said lightly, without any hesitation, pointing to this piece of rough stone.

Hearing what he said, many people paid attention with a bit of a strange expression on their faces.

When Jiang Chen and Monk Pudu had arrived just now, they took a look and saw that they didn’t know each other, so they didn’t care about it. They thought that the two of them would choose for a while, but Jiang Chen just took a look and picked the biggest rough stone.

This shocked them a little, and then they couldn’t help laughing.

In their opinion, this move was more than a little silly. It was like a layman who didn’t know anything.

“Who are you fools? Do you think that the biggest ones can produce good things? Even Mo Lao shook his head and said he couldn’t see through that piece of rough stone, yet you want to buy it in one bite.”

At that moment, someone couldn’t help but shake his head, mocking.

The Mo Lao he was talking about was a very famous origin master in the nearby Gambling Stone Workshop with profound attainments and even he was not sure about this rough stone.

So this rough stone had gradually become something that no one cared about, and it had been placed here for several years.

“This young man really wants to buy this one?” But the shopkeeper in charge of this place was a little surprised.

No matter whether Jiang Chen understood it or not, in his opinion, Jiang Chen was a guy who was sent to his door to take advantage of him, so how could there be any reason not to rob him?

This rough stone had been left unattended for so many years, and today a big fool had finally come.

“Of course, it’s true.” Jiang Chen said indifferently, the expression on his face was always calm and indifferent as if he wasn’t surprised that everyone would react like this.

“How many spirit stones?” Although Monk Pudu was also a little puzzled, he was extremely convinced by Jiang Chen, and directly took out his storage ring.

“Three hundred thousand spirit stones.” The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Seeing the shopkeeper’s expression, a sneer flashed across Jiang Chen’s face, and he said in his heart that he would cry later.

Monk Pudu was very straightforward, and directly took out 300,000 spirit stones and bought this rough stone.

“Young master, we have to make an agreement. Once you buy it, no matter what happens after a while, it has nothing to do with our gambling. Don’t regret it later.”

The shopkeeper was worried that Jiang Chen would regret it for a while, so he couldn’t help explaining ‘kindly.’

“Stop talking nonsense, cut it quickly.” Jiang Chen said lightly, appearing quite impatient.

Seeing this scene, the rest of the people immediately gathered around, seemingly very interested, but Jiang Chen actually planned to buy this rough stone.

Not only did this guy look stupid, he was actually so rich. Although there were quite a few great disciples here, not many of them could take out 300,000 spirit stones at once.

“Three hundred thousand spirit stones… tsk tsk tsk…”

“If nothing comes out, he will cry.”

Many people watched with interest, with a touch of mockery.

With that, the cultivator in charge of cutting the stone carefully peeled off the layers on the surface of the original stone, and a mysterious fluctuation suddenly permeated the pavilion.

Everyone’s expressions changed a little at this time, not as contemptuous and casual as before. Some old men, including the shopkeeper, even looked solemnly.

In the next moment, a rich red glow suddenly burst out from it, accompanied by an aura that made the pores dilate.

“That’s… Blood King Ginseng…”

“At least it’s more than a million years old…” Someone’s eyes widened and they couldn’t help exclaiming.

A million-year-old Blood King Ginseng was a divine medicine that even the Quasi-Supreme would covet.

The shopkeeper’s face also changed slightly at this moment. It was unbelievable, although he would not cry, but he was still very uncomfortable.

“It’s not a bad loss to exchange 300,000 spirit stones for a Blood King Ginseng that is more than a million years old.” Jiang Chen said calmly, shaking his head lightly.

Seeing this scene, everyone in Gambling Stone Workshop did not dare to underestimate Jiang Chen. However, there were still some people who were not convinced, thinking that Jiang Chen just got lucky.

“Hey, this is Blood King Ginseng! Did someone cut out Blood King Ginseng here?”

At this moment, under the pavilion, a few young men and women suddenly arrived. Looking aloof, they emitted the charm of Dao covered in immortal aura, and the logo of Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace was embroidered on their clothes.

It was a young woman who was speaking. She was extremely beautiful with cloud-like hair, delicate and fair complexion. Her legs were slender than ordinary women. She was dressed in a white dress, cold and dusty, like an aloof immortal.

Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Chen’s body froze a little, and the indifferent look on his face also disappeared. He turned his head in disbelief, and his eyes fell on the young woman walking under the pavilion.

Ruoyin? How did she come here?

Jiang Chen’s heart was a little excited, trembling slightly. He never thought that after so long, he would meet Xiao Ruoyin here today. But now that he had changed his face, Xiao Ruoyin probably won’t recognize him.

This made Jiang Chen feel a little lost, but he still calmed down and understood that now was not the time to recognize Xiao Ruoyin.

“Do we know each other?”

Xiao Ruoyin felt that the young man who was staring at her seemed somewhat familiar, but she couldn’t point it out.

“No, this is the first time I’ve seen a fairy.” Jiang Chen shook his head and said with a smile.

Xiao Ruoyin didn’t care about these words. Her gaze fell on the Blood King Ginseng in Jiang Chen’s hand, and she asked, “Did you cut out this Blood King Ginseng?”

She remembered that Master Yan Ji was at the Quasi-Supreme Realm, and she probably needed the Blood King Ginseng.

“Yes, I just got lucky. If the fairy wants it, I can directly give it to the fairy.”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly as if the blood king ginseng in his hand was some rotten Chinese cabbage. He could tell that Xiao Ruoyin really wanted this Blood King Ginseng.

At this juncture, without Monk Pudu’s consent, he planned to give the Blood King Ginseng to Xiao Ruoyin in front of him without permission.

In his opinion, Monk Pudu should not care about these things. Hearing this, the faces of many people on the third floor changed slightly. After all, this was a Blood King Ginseng worth more than one million spirit stones.

Jiang Chen actually planned to give it to the woman he just met?

Although this woman was indeed outrageously beautiful, she hardly looked like a mortal. Monk Pudu also frowned slightly, but didn’t say much at this time.

He felt as if he had seen Xiao Ruoyin in front of him. Jiang Chen seemed to have been paying attention to this woman when he was in the tomb of the Supreme God.

It seemed that the two should be acquaintances from the old days, but now that Jiang Chen had changed his appearance, Xiao Ruoyin couldn’t recognize him.

“…”

Xiao Ruoyin didn’t expect that this familiar man in front of him would directly plan to give him this Blood King Ginseng. His intention was too obvious.

This made her frown slightly, and with her current status in Heavenly Dao Immortal Palace, naturally she would not be unable to buy this Blood King Ginseng with spirit stones.

“I appreciate this young master’s kindness, but I can buy this Blood King Ginseng with spirit stones. Just make an offer.” Xiao Ruoyin shook her head and said in a cold voice.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also understood that his behavior just now was a bit abrupt, so he touched his nose in embarrassment.

“Tsk tsk tsk, it’s another toad that wants to eat swan meat. I advise you to urinate and take a picture, so you don’t have to worry about it. Junior Sister Ruoyin belongs to Young Master Changge.”

Seeing this scene, the young men and women behind Xiao Ruoyin couldn’t help laughing, and their words were mocking. It was obviously not the first time they had seen such a scene.

“Don’t talk nonsense, if Mr. Gu heard this, he might laugh at me for wishful thinking.”

Hearing this, a faint red glow appeared on Xiao Ruoyin’s jade face, and she couldn’t help but cast a glance at the fellow students behind her.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen’s expression froze, even turning slightly pale and the hand holding the Blood King Ginseng tightened.
