Chapter 552, Souvenirs

Translator: Silavin

 

To think that four Spirit Seeds had been uncovered!

 

Moreover, one of them was even a Mid Grade Spirit Seed!

 

What an absolutely inconceivable matter this was.

 

Looking back on the entire process, Shen Ling discovered that she had been wrongly blaming Qin Yichen all along.

 

He was not a gambler.

 

A gambler could not possibly uncover so many Spirit Seeds.

 

However, exactly how Qin Yichen had managed to do it, Shen Ling could not figure it out. She very much wanted to ask now, but this place was clearly not suitable for such questions.

 

And up to now, the total value of the Spirit Seeds that Qin Yichen had uncovered had already reached over seven million gold coins!

 

What an astonishing figure this was.

 

Even many Second Tier Families in the Imperial City, with the combined strength of their entire Family, could not possibly accumulate such wealth.

 

This was why there were examples of people becoming wealthy after uncovering a single High Grade Spirit Seed.

 

High Grade Spirit Seeds, even if all the Major Crystal Houses in the Imperial City were combined, would not be able to uncover more than a few each year. Therefore, their prices were ridiculously high, selling for at least ten million gold coins!

 

This was enough to elevate an ordinary Family to Second Tier status.

 

Of course, for First Tier Families, wealth alone would not suffice.

 

Like the Shen Family, they had never been able to advance to First Tier Family status because there was no one within the Shen Family who could become an Earth Grade Alchemy Master!

 

Therefore, in the Imperial City, First Tier Families either possessed Earth Grade Alchemy Masters, or they had the existence of powerhouses who had surpassed the Martial King Realm.

 

“Young Master truly has excellent luck…” The crystal cutter sighed, looking towards Qin Yichen with some confusion and bewilderment in his eyes, finally just shaking his head.

 

Qin Yichen gave him the impression of being an idle rich Young Master, and moreover, he had been by Qin Yichen’s side the entire time. He had seen every one of Qin Yichen’s movements clearly, it was not any different from ordinary gamblers.

 

Because Qin Yichen simply had not carefully observed those Shooting Star Spirit Crystals at all, naturally there was no possibility that he could be a Divine Appraiser.

 

Furthermore, even if he were a Divine Appraiser, it would be impossible to have such a high success rate.

 

Otherwise, would not all the Shooting Star Spirit Crystals in the Crystal House have been opened by Divine Appraisers already?

 

Crystal gambling was a very risky affair. Even Divine Appraisers might become destitute due to a single crystal gambling session. Therefore, this crystal cutter could only marvel at Qin Yichen’s excellent luck.

 

Crystal gambling was inherently a matter that relied on luck.

 

“Young Master, shall we continue opening this one?” The crystal cutter pointed at the last unopened Shooting Star Spirit Crystal and asked Qin Yichen.

 

“Forget about these few, I’ll keep them as souvenirs!”

 

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yichen shook his head and did not have him continue opening them.

 

He knew there were Spirit Seeds inside that Shooting Star Spirit Crystal. If he were to open it, that would be somewhat inappropriate. After all, if he had only selected a dozen or so Shooting Star Spirit Crystals and had already uncovered four Spirit Seeds, that was already far too attention-grabbing.

 

“What a pity, to think no High Grade Spirit Seeds were uncovered.” Qin Yichen smacked his lips, his face full of dissatisfaction.

 

Hearing this statement, the crowd who had originally been in a state of shock could not help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. If it were possible, they really wanted to go up and give this guy a proper beating!

 

What did he mean by not uncovering High Grade Spirit Seeds?! Were High Grade Spirit Seeds like cabbages on the roadside!? To have uncovered four Spirit Seeds and still be dissatisfied – there truly was no one like him!

 

Qin Yichen observed the expressions of the surrounding crowd, and the corners of his mouth curved up slightly.

 

What a pity. It was not that he did not want to continue, but rather that he lacked the funds.

 

The Mid Grade Spirit Seed had been given to Gongshu Zhiyi, and currently in his hands, there was merely this one ordinary Spirit Seed.

 

As for the remaining few blocks, he did not want to uncover them here.

 

If he were to uncover all the Spirit Seeds, he probably would not be able to control that situation, and it would definitely attract the attention of Water Moon Crystal House’s higher-ups.

 

[This much is enough.]

 

He could tell from the crystal cutter’s eyes that he was puzzled, but unable to prove that Qin Yichen had used any methods to identify what was inside each Spirit Crystal.

 

Qin Yichen’s earlier action of tossing the Mid Grade Spirit Seed to Gongshu Zhiyi had also dispelled many of his doubts, making him subconsciously believe that Qin Yichen was just a rich and fortunate Young Master.

 

“I’ll come back in a few days to try my luck again.”

 

Qin Yichen played with that ordinary Spirit Seed in his hand, speaking as if he had not had enough.

 

The crowd could also see that he was out of gold coins, and moreover, he still owed several hundred thousand gold coins.

 

Carrying several unopened Shooting Star Spirit Crystals and embracing two beauties of exceptional grace, Qin Yichen left Water Moon Crystal House with hearty laughter.

 

Within less than a day, what had happened inside Water Moon Crystal House spread throughout the Imperial City.

 

The same person had purchased a dozen or so Shooting Star Spirit Crystals in Water Moon Crystal House and actually uncovered four Spirit Seeds, one of which was even a Mid Grade Spirit Seed.

 

This immediately caused quite a sensation.

 

Of course, the reason this news spread so rapidly was certainly not without Water Moon Crystal House fanning the flames.

 

The result—Water Moon Crystal House was packed to the brim with people!

 

Within just a few hours, Water Moon Crystal House had sold dozens of Shooting Star Spirit Crystals.

 

One must know that under normal circumstances, it might take several months, or even a year, to sell so many.

 

This created a certain effect.

 

Because everyone had a certain mentality of taking chances, subconsciously believing that they would become that lucky person.

 

In reality, however, people did not know that such lucky people simply did not exist!

 

Nevertheless, this crystal gambling fever did not immediately subside.

 

As for Qin Yichen, he paid no attention to any of this.

 

“Take this.” Returning to the Shen Family Residence, Qin Yichen flipped his palm and produced the last ordinary Spirit Seed that had been uncovered, handing it to Shen Ling.

 

“Hmm?” Shen Ling seemed to be thinking about something. Seeing the Spirit Seed he handed over, she was clearly stunned.

 

“This Spirit Seed was originally bought with your gold coins anyway, so it’s yours.” Qin Yichen said with a smile.

 

“But…” Shen Ling was still somewhat hesitant.

 

After all, Spirit Seeds were truly too precious for her.

 

“Sister Shen Ling, yours isn’t even as pretty as mine.” At the side, Gongshu Zhiyi played with that Mid Grade Spirit Seed, saying with a giggle.

 

Shen Ling immediately did not know what to say.

 

These two people in front of her really did not seem like ordinary people! What normal person would take out Spirit Seeds to give away to others? What normal person would treat Spirit Seeds as toys?

 

Suddenly she felt that even if she accepted an ordinary Spirit Seed, it would not matter, and immediately took it.

 

“Then, don’t you have nothing at all?” Just as she was feeling happy, Shen Ling suddenly realised that after giving this Spirit Seed to her, it seemed Qin Yichen had not gained anything, and moreover, he had spent nearly two million gold coins!

 

“I don’t have any less than you.” Qin Yichen smiled mysteriously, his gaze turning towards those few Shooting Star Spirit Crystals that had been carried in by people from Water Moon Crystal House.

 

Inside these few Shooting Star Spirit Crystals, were all Spirit Seeds!

 

Otherwise, why would he go to such great lengths to bring them back?

 

Following his gaze, Shen Ling’s eyes also fell on those few Shooting Star Spirit Crystals. Suddenly, her pupils could not help but dilate as she blurted out, “Could it be…”
