Asura Emperor Venerable

The raw stone Shi Hao selected has produced a yield.

This didn't surprise anyone because it was a treasured raw stone of the Zhao Family, and its yield rate should have been fifty percent or even higher.

So, seeing a yield now is perfectly normal.

But, whether this guy's luck is good or bad, what did he actually yield?

Crack crack crack, Shi Hao peeled off a few more pieces of stone skin, revealing more and more of what was inside.

Inside there was indeed a plant, but it had long since decayed, so it appeared black.

"It's over."

"Even if it's an Immortal King level great medicine, if it's already rotten then it has no value at all."

"Tch, this kid's luck is too bad, he could've taken away whatever emerged, but now he's opened a worthless plant."

"Serves him right, who told him to dream of hitting the jackpot!"

The crowd made snide remarks, as the victory of either the Zhao Family or the Qian Family didn't concern them.

They were just there for the spectacle.

Zhao Youyi's delicate body trembled, almost causing her to fall over.

"Well, can you call me brother now?" Qian Mo laughed loudly.

Liu Huafeng looked at Shi Hao and coldly said, "Kneel down!"

"Huh, the outcome isn't decided yet, why are you in such a hurry?" Shi Hao smiled, quickly peeled the black plant apart, and then cut open its stem and root.

Huh, what are you still trying to do?

Putting up a last-ditch resistance?

Unnecessary struggle, you've already lost, the more you struggle, the more humiliating your loss will be.

Shi Hao seemed completely unfazed. He peeled the root and stem of the black plant open a bit, revealing a hint of crimson inside.

What is this—

The crowd couldn't help but gasp in astonishment. Could there be a reversal about to happen?

They all craned their necks, eager to witness it firsthand.

Shi Hao continued peeling, and soon, the hint of crimson transformed into a jade barely the size of a pinky. The moment it was fully uncovered, it released a blood-colored glow, filling the entire room with light symbols.

But in the next instant, the blood-colored jade withdrew all its light, yet if one stared at it, there seemed to be an inscrutable depth, as if it contained infinite mysteries.

"This is—"

"Blood Shadow Heavenly Stone!"

"It's said that it takes at least a Golden Level Immortal Medicine to nurture it, and it must be stored within a raw stone for countless years!"

"No wonder the mother plant decayed, because its essence was used to nurture this stone."

"The essence of Immortal Medicine itself, combined with countless years of Immortal Rule infusion, this Blood Shadow Heavenly Stone is invaluable, even a Golden Immortal can use it to comprehend and penetrate Immortal Rules!"

"An invaluable treasure!"

Those who recognized it immediately cried out in surprise.

Liu Huafeng couldn't help but shake, his face showing intense disbelief.

He couldn't believe or accept that he had lost.

—Is there any need to continue comparing?

Silver Spirit-level Immortal Medicine can't possibly compare to a Golden Immortal Medicine, not to mention the Blood Shadow Heavenly Stone which was nurtured on top of a Golden Immortal Medicine, making it at least a hundred times more valuable than an ordinary Golden Immortal Medicine.

He refused to believe this was a display of Shi Hao's strength, but rather that this guy had been incredibly lucky.

From the way and speed Shi Hao was breaking the stone, it was obvious he was an absolute novice.

Qian Mo was also in disbelief; the meat flown out of his mouth?

This was a really unjust defeat!

Zhao Youyi was filled with ecstatic joy, this reversal was such a surprise, and filled her with a sense of post-catastrophe relief.

However, being the direct descendant of the Zhao Family, she quickly composed herself and said to Qian Mo lightly, "You can slap yourself now."

Qian Mo gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to turn and leave. Could Zhao Youyi really stop him?

However, if he walked away, didn't he just win against Li Yuan for nothing?

The purpose of this trip was to strike against the Zhao Family's raw stone shop, personal grudges... put them aside. If he couldn't understand this, he would have long been abandoned by his family.

So, he forcibly suppressed his anger, slapped himself hard.

"Let's compete again!" He believed it was only a stroke of luck for Shi Hao.

Luck is a one-time thing; the heavens can't possibly favor someone like this twice.

"Let's compete again!" Liu Huafeng said with a somber face, as this loss was too unjust for him.

Shi Hao smiled faintly, "First settle the previous bet!"

Liu Huafeng's face twitched. Although he had just entered the Immortal Level, it was also the key to his becoming a Primordial Stone Master. Without the Soul Force at the Immortal Level, becoming a Primordial Stone Master was impossible.

This is also why his fame rose sharply recently; before reaching the Immortal Level, all he could learn was experience and couldn't use some special methods.

Now, being a Primordial Stone Master, being publicly embarrassed was an enormous shame!

But if he didn't agree, Shi Hao wouldn't continue to gamble with him, leaving him with such a defeat to his name. Could he continue to mix in the raw stone circle?

Keeping one's word is the fundamental moral conduct of a Primordial Stone Master.

Thus, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I admit my loss, you—"

Slap!

Without giving him a chance to speak any grand words, Shi Hao had already slapped him, sending Liu Huafeng flying, spinning in the air for several rounds before crashing heavily to the ground.

Directly, he was knocked out.

You really hit hard.

Qian Mo quickly pinched Liu Huafeng's philtrum and splashed cold water, forcibly waking him up.

Liu Huafeng looked in the mirror to find a conspicuous palm print on his cheek.

He was filled with anger.

Before, he thought of threatening Shi Hao, asking him to raise his hand high and bring it down gently.

But never expected the opponent would be so ruthless!

"Zhao Youyi, can we bet again?" Qian Mo said coldly from the side, his tone tinged with endless coldness.

Liu Huafeng remained silent, his face was as dark as a pot bottom, harboring strong killing intent.

Zhao Youyi naturally didn't want to complicate matters. Now she had subdued the Qian Family's arrogance and resolved the Zhao Family's crisis. However, if she retreated, Liu Huafeng could still select raw stones outside and would still affect the Zhao Family's business.

Therefore, since the raw stone shop was open, they had to be ready to fight at any time.

"Fine!" she nodded.

This time, neither she nor Qian Mo added any additional stakes; in comparison, the importance of family interests naturally overrides everything else.

"Bring it on!" Liu Huafeng motioned Shi Hao with his finger, "This time, whoever loses shall sever a hand!"

Hiss, this is no longer just a face-off!

Shi Hao smiled slightly, "What if I say I don't want to play anymore? Will you go crazy?"

Of course, they would go crazy. Why did Qian Mo slap himself, and Liu Huafeng offer his face to Shi Hao to hit, if not to place another bet?

If you were to run away now, they would lose their minds.
