M1zushi: as it took me 2 days more to TL this I won’t be able to update tomorrow’s chapter, sorry 🙇🙇 I’ll make it up in another update asap
After eight o’clock, the rain outside became thicker, the sky was covered by thick lead-like gray clouds, and puddles formed on the ground. But the number of people looking at the rocks at the venue had not decreased. Some of the bigwigs specially invited by Zhou Xinhong were alone, some were in small groups, and they were all looking at the rocks.
Jadeite had pure energy and was a rare jade containing five elements. It could be absorbed regardless of whether a body was Yin or Yang, and it could usually be sold at a very high price on the market.
This time Zhou Xinhong spent all his money, most of the stones came from old pits, and the rough stones without windows were not too bad in appearance, however, compared to cut stone, there was more gambling, and the prices were slightly cheaper. But stone betting uses hidden bids, no matter what some is selected, the mental price will be written down and cast into a bid cylinder, and the highest bidder wins.
Those who could participate in the stone gambling meeting in advance were not low in wealth, and they could spend their money without hesitation on the stones they fancy. Zhou Xinhong didn’t take out all the stones, and now only some of the good-looking ones were taken out in this “little stone betting meeting”, not the ordinary-looking stones with hidden Jade Beetles that Wu Rong was looking for. It was their first time visiting the venue to gamble on stones, so they were unfamiliar with the process and were opening their eyes.
“Benefactor Chen, here. Benefactor Wu really took over all those tasks?”
Hui Xin couldn’t help worrying about Wu Rong, who was looking at the rocks not far away, and approached Huang Mao in a low voice: “The Secret Lotus Congregation is an extremely deeply rooted underground group, so it’s not easy to mess with.”
“Hey, who is Benefactor Chen, just call me Chen Cheng, Brother Cheng is also good.”
Huang Mao squatted in front of the largest rough stone in the venue, admiring its texture: “You said the emerald here must weigh several hundred catties, how much is it?”
“I’m not proficient in appraising stones.”
Hui Xin said honestly: “If there is emerald jade in it, seed water, and if its energy isn’t bad, it’s at least this number…”
He raised up three fingers, and Huang Mao looked speechless: “Three, thirty million?”
“Three hundred million.”
“Fuck!”
Huang Mao was so shocked that mosquitos flew out all over his body. He covered his mouth, widened his eyes, and tried to lower his voice: “This, so expensive?!” He pointed to a smaller rough stone next to him: “What about this one??”

“It takes capital to make a steady profit.”
Huang Mao inverted his trouser pocket twice, but failed to take out a cigarette, and sighed: “So you know, if we had received the arrest warrant from Old Man Yan before, our Brother Rong would be a multi-millionaire now.”
Many of Secret Lotus Congregation’s activities were improper, just like Old Man Yan’s Twelve Flowers Amorous Ghost, who was either given to him by another, or he abducted a little girl with a very Yin physique to raise her and tortured her to death. So dirty, the Asian League’s side issued a reward order ten years ago, setting him as a C-level reward, with a reward of three million and ten catties of gold. Ten years later, Old Man Yan’s reward level had risen to A-level, and the reward had also increased, reaching 15 million plus 50 catties of gold.
15 million, this was 15 million, the business of making tens of millions was gone!
Thinking about how he kicked 15 million like a ball, Su Xiaomi felt suffocated.
And Protector Deng’s bounty was also in the millions, including those scattered minions. After calculating the total price, even Bai Gu’s face wasn’t good.
A big loss!
“Besides, there are already a lot of people accepting the bounty, and it’s okay to add a few of us small fish. If it happens, then it’s earned.”
Huang Mao was careless, Hui Xin heaved a sigh of relief when he said that, and said with a serious face: “I thought you were going to rush into the Secret Lotus Congregation and make a big mess. Although Old Man Yan had an A-level reward, it was only the last one, A200, and was not at ghost level. But as you can see, the reward level of Dharma King Fei is in the top ten of the A-level arrest warrants, which is not at the same level. You must be more careful in your actions, and I will do my best. ”
Hui Xin said sternly: “The evil heretics and the evil ways must be punished by everyone.”
“Evil heretics?”
A gloomy voice sounded, next to him was a bald old monk in a black and red cassock with a human bone rosary coiled around him. He snorted coldly with a wrinkled face and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant:
“Little boy, tell me, what is the righteous way, and what is the evil way?”
“There’s nothing I want here.”
Not far away, Wu Rong and Fu Qing walked around the venue. Although the venue had a shield, the Zhong Gu was inexplicably excited after last night, and could easily sense whether there were green jades in the rough stones.
“Most of the rough stones here have Jade Beetles.”
There would be a small finger-thick crack in the middle of the stone that Jade Beetles had passed through. Although it would be nothing compared to the stone as a whole, Jade Beetles would absorb the most intense energy of the core, and the value of the whole piece of jade would also be greatly reduced. But from the outside, unless you were proficient in jade inspection, most people with ability would not be able to sense this change. After all, there was a shielding function, and the perceived energy fluctuations were relatively vague.
“You……”
Just as Wu Rong spoke, he stopped again. Fu Qing’s hand touched the back of his neck again, caressing the lotus pattern. Wu Rong was not used to being in close contact with people, and the back of his neck was sensitive. Every time Fu Qing touched it, he would stiffen, and fine bumps would appear on his skin.
Wu Rong wanted to refuse, but every time he saw Fu Qing’s concerned eyes, he couldn’t get the words out of his mouth. Last night was like a nightmare haunting Wu Rong’s heart. Wu Rong’s body was like an airtight iron bucket, sealing all the Yin Qi and Ghost Qi inside, and nothing outside could get in. For such a long-time, last night, most of Fu Qing’s Yang energy was only attached to the outside.
But the red lotus pattern was like a chisel, chiseling the ‘iron bucket’ into a ‘Yang Qi one-way street’, the warmth seeped in from his skin, and the heat trickled into the body, not only was the Zhong Gu excited, but actually Wu Rong was also very comfortable. Just like a person who has been frozen for a long time in the cold winter, the warmth would make him addicted, and the pursuit of Yang Qi was more like an instinctive self-help.
No matter how special Wu Rong’s physique was, it was still a human body after all, and the result of an imbalance between Yin and Yang would only cause an untimely death.
The desire for Yang Qi was a survival instinct, imprinted deep within his body and soul. Unless Wu Rong decided not to be a human right now, he would never be able to get rid of this natural instinct.
Fu Qing touched the back of his neck after a while, and compared to at the start, Wu Rong had gotten used to it now. The Yang Qi permeated in very slowly, not as direct stimulation as when Fu Qing applied the blood on his forehead before, the Yang Qi that infiltrated slowly was like an electric blanket in winter, Wu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, lazily, and the Yang Qi that entered made him feel comfortable. Yin Qi resists outsiders, but it was blinded by its gentle appearance, and was intimately entwined. The fingertips that were cold throughout all four seasons were tingled with heat.
Fu Qing has always been silent and didn’t like to talk too much. This kind of quiet company was easier for Wu Rong to accept. The two of them were not near the popular stones, and the light rain kept falling, covering them as if they were isolated from the world, showing a bit of tranquility and harmony.
Suddenly, a commotion came from not far away.
The laziness in Wu Rong’s eyes faded away in an instant, and his eyes were clear and cold without any trace of tiredness. He turned around and walked over there. Fu Qing also looked towards the side where the commotion occurred, his black eyes were soaked in the cold autumn rain, making them even colder.
“Cousin, here. He wants to compare the Dharma with Master Hui Xin.”
Bai Gu noticed it when the conflict just happened. When he passed by, Huang Mao was scratching his head anxiously, grabbing Bai Gu’s wrist like a savior’s, and said in a low voice, annoyed and anxious: “Hui Xin is only just a big boy, why is the old man opposite him so thick-skinned?” .”
“What happened?”
After listening to the cause and effect, Bai Gu looked at Hui Xin and the old monk who were confronting each other, and also found it very difficult.
“It’s not easy for us outsiders to get involved in this kind of competition between Buddhism and Dharma.”
Random killings were prohibited in the safe zone, but martial arts competitions were not prohibited. After the supernatural recovery, the spirit of reverence prevailed, and most of the ghost raisers were affected by ghosts, and their personalities became paranoid and irritable. Ghost raisers liked to fight, but monks and priests preferred to use “Literary Discussion” when they encountered disputes, which was the current Buddhist and Dharma fight.
If it was a contest of force, it would be embarrassing for an old monk to fight against the young Hui Xin at such a young age, but in terms of Buddhism, Hui Xin studied under Master Kuchan and came from Faraway Mountains Temple, a famous Buddhist scenic spot in the Asian League, cultivating into the Dharma Body of an Arhat. Compared to the old monk without a teacher, he had the advantage. If he was afraid of fighting him, he would lose the respect held by the world towards Master Kuchan.
Sure enough, when Wu Rong, Fu Qing and the others came, the old monk and Hui Xin had already set a time for the debate on Buddhism.
“Tomorrow at youshi , the Seven Treasures Buddha Hall.”
The old monk sneered fiercely like a night owl, cast a contemptuous glance at Hui Xin, and left with a swish of his sleeves. Hui Xin looked dignified, but he was not too nervous. He comforted Huang Mao after saying Amitabha Buddha: “He is the Old Man Ku, the iron monk who made the iron staffs and he’s under the throne of Dharma King Fei. Master and Mr. Zhou are old friends. This time, I was sent here. I naturally belong to the Zhou family’s faction. Now that the stone betting conference is coming soon, the Secret Lotus Congregation and the Zhou family will definitely clash. He came prepared and even without you, I wouldn’t ignore it.”
Hui Xin shrugged, showing a bit of shrewdness at his age, and casually said: “Who made me the youngest among the people invited by Mr. Zhou, and the one who seemed the easiest to bully?”
There could only be one sovereign in a city. In the early years, the Zhou family and the Secret Lotus Congregation jointly plotted against the Ministry of Public Security of Jieyang, making it shatter. But there were no eternal friends in this world. Over the past few years, the relationship between the Secret Lotus Congregation and the Zhou family has become more and more delicate, and now it had become as incompatible as fire and water. In addition to those who’ve participated in the Stone Gambling Conference this time, it is said that the Zhou family has invited seven other top experts to help out, and it seemed that they were going to fight the Great Dharma King Fei.
Hui Xin ranked seventh, but he had been educated by Master Kuchan since he was a child, so his strength should not be underestimated.
“Now Benefactor Wu has also received the invitation letter, and he is the eighth person invited by the Zhou family.”
Hui Xin really didn’t seem to care about the appointment at all, with a relaxed expression, he said sincerely: “Fu-daozhang is ranked fifth, but I think it’s just that the Taoist priest Fu didn’t kill a few people on the wanted list, so his ranking is not high. In terms of strength, he should be ranked among the top three.”
“Then who is the first?”
Seeing Hui Xin so relaxed, Huang Mao also relaxed and asked curiously.
“It’s Longhu Mountain’s Tianjizi.”
When he said his name, Hui Xin showed a bit of admiration on his face: “Tianjizi Master Ling Yun.”

Ling Yun is the one who’s supposed to be an undercover sent by the righteous faction to join Ghost King’s Wu Rong who became Wu Rong’s 👀 instead?
yep, thats the one
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
Ling Yun the one who instead of beating Fu Qing, gave FQ aphrodisiac?? Yeah 👍 he’s really powerful, I heard he even has Old Man Coffin with him.
Idk if his horny poisin will work on these guys. It seems like their powers originate from lust so aphrodisiac probably will make them stronger.
Who are the guys you talking about? (☉｡☉)!
Thank you for the updates!
