Chapter 333: Hundred-Year Gold, Hundred-Year Ginseng

"Sigh!"

Fang Jue sighed heavily as he led everyone out of the Fortune Pavilion.

Another hundred spirit stones down the drain!

Fang Hao didn’t look any better either, as he had lost the fifteen spirit stones he had been saving up.

Except for Fang Yun, every single one of them had left a bit of their spirit stones behind in the Fortune Pavillion, so they were feeling especially under the weather right now.

"You win some and lose some, Big Brother," Fang Yun consoled Fang Jue.

Fang Jue nodded. "Don't worry, I know. I just can’t help but feel that the path of Immortal Origin Stones is really too profound and mysterious. Even if one studied for many years, one would probably still fail to truly grasp its essence.”

Fang Jue stopped in his tracks. It had suddenly hit him that they were missing someone. He quickly looked around, asking, "Where's Fang Chen?"

"He just left,” said Fang Hao, sneering. “Probably went to find a place to secretly cut open that Immortal Origin Stone worth one spirit stone he bought."

"Don't worry about him. Let's head back," said Fang Yun.

Fang Hao suddenly pointed to a spot not too far ahead. "It's quite lively over there. Looks like someone is having a bet!"

Fang Jue's eyes lit up. "Let's go take a look." RêAd lateSt chapters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o/m Only

When the group came closer to the hustle and bustle, Fang Yun exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't that Fang Chen? What is he doing here?"

"I'll go find out," said Fang Hao, leaving the others and squeezing into the crowd, jostling his way through.

After a few moments, he squeezed right back and, with a smile on his face, he said, "Fang Chen is having a bet with someone. And the stakes are Xia Ji's legs."

Fang Yun glanced at Lin Yu through the cracks in the crowd and said, "I know who that is. That person is called Lin Yu, a member of the Lin Family from the Eighteenth District. He’s probably doing this because he wants to settle the score for Jue Wudi. They have a good relationship."

Fang Jue’s face turned hesitant. "Our master is on good terms with Master Chanyuan..."

Fang Yun seemed to have guessed his thoughts, as she immediately said, "Big Brother, we shouldn't get involved. Xia Ji has been maligning Jue Wudi and smearing his reputation. If we tried to help, it would only make Jue Wudi think we are siding with Xia Ji. Besides, the situation with Fang Lingxing is also tricky."

Fang Jue nodded slightly. Indeed, this matter was very complicated, as it involved a wide range of issues. They’d be inviting trouble if they tried to intervene.

Fang Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Fang Chen is betting against Lin Yu using the Immortal Origin Stone from the Fortune Pavilion. How amusing. That Immortal Origin Stone is only worth one spirit stone, yet he’s betting against someone with it?"

"He’s cutting it open, he’s cutting it open!"

"It seems to be a spiritual material?!"

"No, it's a spiritual herb."

"1,300 low-grade spirit stones!?"

"Wow!"

Everyone was stunned. No one expected that the Immortal Origin Stone Lin Yue had opened would reveal something this valuable!

"This is Manager Yu from the Clear Wind Pavilion. His eyes are sharp; he shouldn't be mistaken."

"Young man, you've made a fortune."

The crowd was both envious and jealous.

Lin Yu sighed inwardly. He was well aware that this fortune wasn’t his because the Immortal Origin Stone hadn’t belonged to him. He was just acting on behalf of someone else.

1,300 low-grade spirit stones....

He really wanted them!

"Elder, I won’t be selling this item for now.”

Lin Yu refused the offer from Manager Yu before turning to Fang Chen.

"It's time for you to fulfill your end of the bet. Will you be the one breaking Xia Ji’s legs, or should I do the honors?” asked Lin Yu.

Xia Ji sneered. "I'll do it myself!"

Fang Chen waved his hand. "I haven't even opened my Immortal Origin Stone yet, why are you giving up?"

Xia Ji’s face was wreathed in helplessness. "Fang Da, your Immortal Origin Stone, it’s....”

He had been fooled this time around!

Lin Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I’ve heard someone say that you’ve bought this Immortal Origin Stone for one spirit stone. You’re betting against me using that? Will it bring out something that’s worth 1,300 spirit stones?”

"You won't know until we open it," said Fang Chen with a faint smile.

Lin Yu nodded with a smile. "Then go ahead and open it. It won't make a difference to break Xia Ji's legs a little later."

Fang Chen took out Little Sword and began to cut the Stone.

Everyone couldn’t help but shake their heads when they saw what he was doing.

Fang Yun frowned. "Big Brother, if this gets out, Fang Chen will be humiliating us."

Fang Jue sighed. "The three families must be united no matter what." With that, he walked straight through the crowd, waving his hand to stop Fang Chen from opening the Stone.

Fang Jue looked at Lin Yu and said in a deep voice, "This bet doesn't count. This is Fang Chen’s first time playing with Immortal Origin Stones. If you want to have a bet with someone, have a bet with me!"
