I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life

Chapter 406 - 255: I Am Your Ancestral Grandfather

Liu Hongling had already seen the four treasures of the shop.

The self-destruction of the third Spiritual Eye had once again embarrassed Li Qingyun.

Among the remaining number one, two, and four, number one had Fifth to Sixth Tier Spiritual Treasures, valued at around fifty thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones, almost losing half.

Number two was the most abundant; aside from the outer stone shell, it was fully turned into Spirit Crystal, with thousands of Middle Grade Spirit Stones in the outer circle, over a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones in the inner circle, and although the core could not be confirmed, there were at least dozens of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones.

A single Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone is worth a thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, gaining profit merely from its core position. Moreover, Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones are just the baseline; it might even be Spirit Marrow, worth ten times more.

Although the fourth was externally full of Death Crystal, it had Spiritual Qi denser than Top-Grade Spirit Stones, guaranteed to yield Five Elements Spirit Stones.

Five Elements Spirit Stones are a hundred times more valuable than Top-Grade Spirit Stones, and a basin size would have hundreds, definitely not a loss.

Without much hesitation, Li Jizhou recommended the number one raw stone to Li Qingyun.

Li Qingyun had consecutively failed with two store treasures, feeling both expectant and anxious now.

He stared directly at Li Jizhou, attempting to discern lies with his Divine Sense.

However, with Hong Luan’s Divine Soul protecting his Divinity Transformation, he could only sense sincerity.

"Brother, this Crown Prince always rewards clearly. If this stone appreciates significantly, you’ll receive a tremendous reward, but..." Li Qingyun looked solemn.

Though the latter half went unsaid, its meaning was clear.

Meanwhile, the guards accompanying Li Qingyun casually changed their positions, with four Divinity Transformation guards each covering a direction, subtly sealing off all escape routes for Li Jizhou.

Li Jizhou nodded with a smile, "There must be a great treasure inside this stone!"

Li Qingyun scrutinized Li Jizhou’s expression, remained silent for a moment, and finally couldn’t resist the gambler’s impulse.

"Solve it!"

This time, the old shopkeeper called all the stone decipherers.

Several stone decipherers supervised each other and worked together to solve the stone.

The stone-solving process was rather boring, and Li Jizhou wasn’t bothered by the encircling guards from Prince Yun’s Mansion, walking openly again to the edge of the pool.

After some digging, Liu Hongling finally reacted.

"It’s this one!"

At this moment, Li Jizhou was touching a rock as big as a human head, pitted and covered in moss, looking rather unattractive.

"Is this the Stone King?" Li Jizhou moved his Magical Power slightly, clearing the moss, but found nothing extraordinary after looking for a while.

Liu Hongling was exceptionally excited, "Young Master, it’s this one! I can already sense a strong Spiritual wave inside it!"

"Good!" Li Jizhou picked up the Stone King, filled with anticipation himself.

Given Li Jizhou’s actions and the fact that it was the third time today watching the store treasure being solved, interest wasn’t too high, yet some people noticed the stone Li Jizhou pulled out from the pool.

"Wow, the expert dug that out from below; surely it’ll skyrocket again!"

"Of course, didn’t you see those raw stones before? He approached them so casually, but this one, he used a lot of effort, it must be exceptional!"

"Compared to the store treasures, I’m somewhat eager about the smaller stone in his hand, it doesn’t look very promising at all."

Li Qingyun also paid attention to Li Jizhou’s actions.

Seeing him exert great effort to pull out a stone used to pad a pond, he was momentarily puzzled.

But his attitude, being utterly calm, without any trace of fear, somewhat boosted Li Qingyun’s confidence.

"It’s open!" At this moment, the stone decipherer’s steady voice sounded.

Li Qingyun quickly looked over.

"The Spiritual Qi is soaring, indeed extraordinary!"

"The internal Spirit Stones are so intact, Spirit Crystal conversion is very successful, there might really be a great treasure."

"There’s an anomaly!"

...

As the outer layer of the stone shell was being peeled off, gasps filled the scene one after another.

"The anomaly wrapped by such an intact Spirit Ore very likely might be a weapon!"

"Wow, could it be that today we’ll witness a profound treasure from the Ancestral Spiritual Sea?"

"It has been many years since we’ve seen a Profound Celestial Treasure opened, hoping to see it today."

"Do you think there’s a chance of finding a Quasi-Immortal Artifact?"

"Bah! If we open a Quasi-Immortal Artifact, no one present would likely escape death! A Quasi-Immortal Artifact nurtured for so many years, even if it doesn’t attack us actively, its contained power alone could pulverize us!"

Listening to the people’s discussions, Li Qingyun’s face gradually flushed, his gambler’s mentality swelling again, following their thoughts uncontrollably.

"Wow! It’s actually a long spear!" Finally, as the outer stone shell fully peeled off, the internal object was revealed to everyone.

At the same time, the surrounding people instinctively retreated, trying to protect the crowd in front, causing some to exit the fifth courtyard.

Li Qingyun was both delighted and terrified, looking around, still restraining his inner excitement, retreating even a hundred feet, and took out a shield Spiritual Treasure to place in front, with his eyes already bloodshot.

The stone decipherers witnessing the final scene twitched eyelids, their cutting hand somewhat unnatural.

After some thought, they called for their apprentices and handed the knife to them.

With the stone shell completely solved, there was no further risk, just the need to peel away the Spirit Crystal.

After handing over the carving knife, several old stone decipherers turned and left,

The apprentice anxiously accepted the knife, reluctantly shaving off the Spirit Stone.

In the entire venue, only Li Jizhou and Hong Luan were still engrossed in examining the raw stone, ignoring the results over here.

"Hiss~" There was no risk in the process of shaving off the Spirit Crystal; the speed was quite fast, and soon, the Spirit Stone adhering closely to the inside of the long spear was peeled, leaking dense Spiritual Qi.

"Spiritual Treasure!"

"Fifth... Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure?"

After the dense Spiritual Qi leaked out, everyone sensed the aura of the long spear.

A Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure, to be precise, should be a Sixth Grade one, but due to the demise of the Artifact Spirit, its grade fell.

"This..." Everyone was in silence, instinctively looking towards Li Qingyun.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, a Fifth Grade Spiritual Treasure counts as a great treasure.

But... compared to Prince Yun’s Mansion and ninety thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones...

It’s really not quite enough.

At least half a loss!

"Ah!" Li Qingyun was instantly angered to the extreme.

The shop’s centennial town treasure, that even Prince Yun himself was uncertain to open, yet he’d opened three in a day.

And all failed!

"Seize him!" He immediately glared furiously at Li Jizhou.

The pressure from the four Divinity Transformation guards came instantly, but Hong Luan swiftly protected in front, while Li Jizhou remained unmoved.

"Haha~ Is this anger turned to shame?"

Li Qingyun was utterly surprised Li Jizhou could still laugh at such a moment.

"Little thief, was this intentional?" In a flash, Li Qingyun calmed down, conspiracy theories emerged in his mind, and his actions today were sure to be heavily penalized by his father, possibly with the most severe possibility being the revocation of his inheritance.

Li Jizhou’s face suddenly changed, "Insolence! Being disrespectful when seeing your ancestor, instead of kneeling, how dare you be so insolent! I am your ancient grandfather!"
