Chapter 334 Not Fated for It, Senior

Fang Chen was taken aback. He hadn’t expected that Fang Jue would step in. It seems that Fang Ao’s senior disciple is a decent person. Gett your favorite novels at no/v/e/lbin(.)com

Fang Yun and the others were first stunned, and then they turned very anxious. They didn’t expect Fang Jue to suddenly intervene like this. If they offended Jue Wudi because of this, they’d be essentially opening up a can of worms!

"Isn't this Fang Jue, from the Fang Family's third branch?"

"So one of the bettors is from the Fang Family?”

Whispers circulated among the crowd.

Fang Jue was quite well-known in the Immortal Origin District—at least, he was well-known amongst the Qi Refining Realm cultivators.

Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, forcing a smile. "It’s you, Brother Fang Jue."

"No need for unnecessary words. I’ll be the one betting with you, but you'll have to find another Immortal Origin," said Fang Jue calmly.

Lin Yu and the others' expressions shifted erratically. Redoing the bet? That didn’t make sense!

"Brother Fang Jue, this is the bet between me and him. There's no need for us to redo it. Even if we were to start another bet, this bet should be fulfilled first,” mused Lin Yu.

Fang Jue sneered. "If I say it doesn't count, then it doesn't. Why bully a beginner? Fang Chen has just arrived and he doesn’t know much. This was an unfair bet right from the very start."

The dominance of a Fang Family member was on full display right now. He didn't even put the opinions of Lin Yu and the others in his eyes.

Lin Yu and the others were starting to hesitate. They didn't have the courage to stand up to the chief disciple of the Fang Family's third branch. But if they backed down now, it wouldn't sit well with Fang Lingxing's side either.

Lin Yu had to shift his gaze to a nearby location, where Fang Lingxing and the young man were observing the situation.

Lin Yu saw Fang Lingxing nodding to him.

Lin Yu gained a bout of newfound confidence when he saw that light bob.

Facing Fang Jue, Lin Yu stood his ground. "Brother Fang Jue, everyone here witnessed the bet between me and Fang Chen, even the nearby Great Qian Guard patrol was here from the start. Members of the Fang Family wouldn’t back out on a bet, right? If news spread that you did, it wouldn’t be very good for you, would it?”

Fang Jue frowned. He didn’t understand where Lin Yu found the guts to speak to him like this. Was it just because of Jue Wudi?

On the other side, the young man smiled at Fang Lingxing, "Is that Fang Jue? He doesn’t seem to take you very seriously."

The Immortal Origin District has been around for hundreds of years, and the value of a single Immortal Origin Stone had never exceeded ten thousand spirit stones, which was a record that had remained unbroken for many, many years. There were Immortal Origin Stones worth thousands of spirit stones, but those were few and far between.

"Huh?" uttered the shopkeeper of the Clear Wind Pavilion softly.

Quickly, he walked up to Fang Chen and carefully examined the Immortal Origin Stone in Fang Chen’s hand before saying, "You don’t have to open it all the way, young man. How about I buy it from you for five hundred spirit stones?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Five hundred?"

Fang Jue stared at the Immortal Origin in Fang Chen's hand, his expression changing constantly. Fang Yun and the others were silent for a while before finally squeezing out a few words: "This kid is really lucky."

Fang Jue had been playing with Immortal Origins for several years now, but he had never taken out anything worth more than two hundred low-grade spirit stones. On Fang Chen’s first attempt, he bought something worth five hundred low-grade spirit stones with one low-grade spirit stone. This was simply incredible luck!

Lin Yu smirked. Fang Chen lost. Five hundred low-grade spirit stones are far from enough to compare with the value of my Immortal Origin.

Chuckling, Lin Yu said, “Didn’t expect for you to actually have a bit of skill. Still, what a shame. You’re still going to lose.”

Lin Yu couldn’t help but feel envious as he had said that; Fang Chen’s Immortal Origin Stone belonged to him, while the one he had opened didn’t belong to himself.

"I haven’t opened it fully yet. Why are you in such a rush?" Fang Chen smiled, then turned to Manager Yu and asked, "Senior, do you recognize this item?"

"I... I don't," said the shopkeeper, shaking his head. "I just feel that it has rich spiritual energy, so it should be of considerable value. Can you sell it to me, young man?"

"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones is far from enough. If you don’t recognize it, senior, then I’m afraid someone knowledgeable will surely step in to buy it." Fang Chen smiled and said, "Looks like this mid-grade spirit stone is out of your reach."

Everyone was instantly shocked.

"What!? A mid-grade spirit stone!?"

Far away, Fang Lingxing and the young man rose to their feet in a hurry, looking at each other in shock. Both could see the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

A mid-grade spirit stone?! They had never seen a mid-grade spirit stone in their entire life. Perhaps only those Golden Core Realm cultivators in Great Qian would’ve had the chance to see a treasure like that!

The shopkeeper's face stiffened. How does he know what a mid-grade spirit stone is?!

He had already known what it was long ago, but he wanted to take advantage of Fang Chen and buy it from him at a low price. But now, it seemed that his chance had slipped away!
