Chapter 69: Change Rooms

Chapter 69

Old Mr. Tang saw Zhu Yang and Old Jiang come in, and beckoned to them. Noticing their pale faces, he asked, "What's wrong with you two? You don't look so good."

"Didn't sleep well," Old Jiang said, not wanting to elaborate on the previous night's events. Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Zhu Yang sat down and silently ate his breakfast, his mind unsettled.

Ling Yue could tell at a glance that they had been invaded by the malicious energy of vengeful spirits.

"Old Zhu, are you not feeling well? Why don't you go to the hospital?" Old Mr. Tang asked with concern.

Zhu Yang seemed not to have heard Old Mr. Tang, keeping his head down as he ate.

"What's wrong with him?" Old Mr. Tang asked Old Jiang.

Old Jiang hesitated, then said, "The room we stayed in wasn't very clean, so we didn't sleep well last night."

Old Mr. Tang looked incredulous. "You two must have just been too tired." He didn't believe in ghosts or spirits at all.

"It's true. Zhu Yang and I both saw a bloody figure who even slept on our bed," Old Jiang said, trembling at the memory and his eyes filled with fear.

Zhu Yang's reaction was even more extreme, his face pale as a sheet and sweating profusely.

Seeing them so terrified, Old Mr. Tang pondered for a moment, then turned to Lan Ji. "Lan Ji, why don't we switch rooms with them? It'll be more convenient since we're just next door."

Open bidding was less common, typically in the form of auctions for boulders with openings showing the jade inside.

Around four-fifths of the jade at each event was sold through sealed bidding.

Standing amidst the jade, Ling Yue could feel the spiritual energy converging from all directions, flowing into her body in strands, making her feel refreshed. Now that she had her Small World, the spiritual energy there was sufficient for her to cultivate.

"Yue Yue, look at that boulder," Lan Ji said in amazement, pointing to a massive, jet-black boulder weighing several tons. It was the first time he had seen such a huge piece of raw jade - if there was jade inside, it must be enormous.

Ling Yue followed Lan Ji's gaze. "Let's go take a look."

As they approached the boulder, several people were already examining it. Such a massive raw jade boulder was a rare sight at the venue.

"That boulder is too big, even if there's jade inside, it'd be inedible," one person remarked.

"I saw this boulder last year too, but no one dared to bid on it," said another.

"Who would dare? If there's nothing inside, that money would be wasted," a third person chimed in.

"Based on the appearance of this boulder, the chances of it producing high-quality jade are very high. It might even yield an exceptional piece," someone else opined.

"Old Gao, why don't you bid on it so we can satisfy our curiosity?" another suggested.

Ling Yue placed her hand on the boulder, sensing a pure stream of spiritual energy emanating from within. She raised an eyebrow slightly, picked up a bidding form from the box, and began filling it out.

All eyes turned to Ling Yue. Surely she wasn't really going to bid on this boulder? It would cost at least three hundred million at the minimum.
