Chapter 565, Strange Things

Translator: Silavin

 

On the second floor of Water Moon Crystal House, only one wild laugh echoed throughout. The original clamour, mocking voices, and discussions all disappeared without a trace.

 

Everyone’s gaze focused on the same person.

 

That person’s laughter was like fiery slaps across their faces.

 

Who could have expected that a Spirit Dissipation Crystal would actually yield something!

 

They did not know what to say anymore.

 

Luck?

 

It could only be called luck!

 

Because Qin Yichen had not even touched that Spirit Dissipation Crystal, and furthermore, it was merely due to someone’s teasing that he decided to purchase the Spirit Dissipation Crystal, so there was no other possibility.

 

“What are you so pleased about?”

 

Hearing Qin Yichen’s smug laughter, Ouyang Wensu could no longer contain himself. With a dark expression, he scolded, “Even if something came out, spending over a million gold coins to buy a rubbish Spirit Seed. What use is that? Did you win? Don’t forget, I opened two Spirit Seeds!”

 

He snorted twice, as if reminding everyone that he was the victor.

 

Even if this Spirit Dissipation Crystal produced a Low Grade Spirit Seed, Qin Yichen would still lose!

 

“Those two pieces of rubbish of yours can be compared with mine? This is at least a High Grade Spirit Seed!”

 

Qin Yichen looked down his nose, boasting arrogantly.

 

Indeed, judging by that crystalline colour, it seemed much more eye-catching than ordinary Spirit Seeds.

 

Hearing these words, Ouyang Haotian’s face suddenly became ugly.

 

If he lost… Did he really have to crawl out of here?!

 

That would be more painful than killing him!

 

Thinking this, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.

 

His dignity was one thing, but if news of him crawling out of here spread to the Feng Family, how would the Feng Family view him?

 

He did not need to think to know what the consequences would be.

 

“Master, shall we continue cutting?”

 

The manager was also stunned to see something emerge. Then, after he came to his senses, he asked Qin Yichen with a face full of smiles.

 

A Spirit Dissipation Crystal had actually produced a Spirit Seed!

 

This was good news for their Water Moon Crystal House.

 

Especially at a time like this, it would undoubtedly add more fuel to the fire for their Water Moon Crystal House.

 

After all, if even Spirit Dissipation Crystals could produce Spirit Seeds, wouldn’t other Spirit Crystals have even better odds!?

 

“Open it, of course we’ll continue cutting!”

 

Qin Yichen called out with full vigour.

 

Looking at his back, behind him, Shen Ling’s eyes were filled with deep shock as she watched him.

 

Because of what happened last time, upon entering the Crystal House this time, she had been carefully observing Qin Yichen’s every move, but still made no discoveries.

 

It seemed as though Qin Yichen was just choosing randomly.

 

However, Shen Ling felt as if Qin Yichen had known all along that the Spirit Dissipation Crystal would produce a Spirit Seed.

 

Moreover, this feeling was very strong.

 

[Could it be true, as he said, that there’s a High Grade Spirit Seed inside?]

 

Thinking this, Shen Ling’s heart also became somewhat excited, her eyes staring unblinkingly at that Spirit Crystal gradually shrinking in the crystal cutter’s hands.

 

At the same time, almost everyone’s gaze concentrated on it.

 

However, many people felt quite uncomfortable.

 

Because they had just been mocking Qin Yichen as a clown, but now that the situation seemed to have reversed, were they not the clowns now?

 

One must know that in the Imperial City, they were all people with status and power.

 

However, now, they all held out in anticipation…

 

If Ouyang Haotian lost, would he truly crawl out of here!?

 

Before long, the crystal-cutting was complete.

 

However, at this moment in the Crystal House, there was no sound at all.

 

Pairs of eyes all stared at that thing in the crystal cutter’s hands.

 

The reason for using the word ‘thing’ was because it… was somewhat strange.

 

Half of it had a shallow crack on top, causing most of the entire thing to be the colour of crystal.

 

This might not be much.

 

But that small piece below was crystal clear and appeared very dazzling, and moreover, everyone could feel a strong fluctuation of energy emanating from within it.

 

What attracted everyone’s gaze was precisely that crystalline colour.

 

They had never seen such a crystalline Spirit Seed. That colour was like stars in the sky, so dazzling.

 

And the crystal block above it made it look like a pearl that had been covered up.

 

“This…” The Water Moon Crystal House manager stared fixedly at that dazzling crystalline glow, pupils dilating, mouth opening and closing as if wanting to say something, but not uttering a single word.

 

“Bring it here, let me see!” Qin Yichen seemed unable to wait any longer and snatched that thing from the crystal cutter’s hands.

 

Whether intentionally or not, it happened to be at the window position. Sunlight shone in and reflected on that crystalline glow. Instantly, that crystalline colour became as dazzling as the Sun itself. Everyone could not help but squint their eyes, and some unprepared people even covered their eyes, holding their heads in pain.

 

That appearance was as if they were looking directly at the Sun in the sky.

 

Those with some foundation, squinting their eyes, could clearly see that within that dazzling brilliance, some crystalline colours were flowing inside.

 

“A Spirit Liquid!?”

 

Someone called out in a deep voice that trembled somewhat.

 

“What?!”

 

Perhaps some people hadn’t seen clearly, but they all knew what Spirit Liquid was.

 

Spirit Liquid!

 

For Spirit Seeds to contain Spirit Liquid inside of them, that was something that could only be contained in Peak Grade Spirit Seeds!

 

In other words, what emerged from this Spirit Dissipation Crystal was a… Peak Grade Spirit Seed!?

 

*Siiiiiiii!!!!*

 

Immediately, sounds of sharp intakes of breath came from all around, with pairs of eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

 

Even though they were influential figures in the Imperial City, Peak Grade Spirit Seeds were things that were difficult to produce even once in a hundred years, and now they actually had the good fortune to witness the birth of a Peak Grade Spirit Seed!

 

Then, when they turned their gazes to the owner holding the Peak Grade Spirit Seed, their expressions became somewhat complex.

 

“I…” That Noble who had introduced Qin Yichen to purchase the Spirit Dissipation Crystal was now petrified in place, motionless for a long time.

 

The impact on him was not insignificant! This was equivalent to him having handed over a Peak Grade Spirit Seed to someone else!

 

Anyone would find this unbearable!

 

Even though that Peak Grade Spirit Seed was somewhat… damaged?

 

“What a pity, what a pity…”

 

An elderly man who appeared to be in his sixties or seventies shook his head and sighed, his face full of regret.

 

Obviously, this was a Peak Grade Spirit Seed, but it had suffered some unknown impact, causing Spiritual Energy to leak out, so most of it was in a petrified state.

 

If this were a complete Peak Grade Spirit Seed, its price would be incalculable!

 

But even with only a small half remaining, its value was incomparable to ordinary Spirit Seeds.

 

The reason was the Spirit Liquid inside of it!

 

Peak Grade Spirit Seeds were unlike ordinary Spirit Seeds—what they contained inside was liquid. A complete Peak Grade Spirit Seed was difficult for any Force to swallow whole, so Spirit Liquid was sold by the ‘drop’!

 

One drop was one million gold coins!
