Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System
Huang Yu wanted to fawn on Panshan Shi Wang, this Yuan Shen realm strongman, but he didn't know that Panshan Shi Wang also wanted to befriend him.
"Huang Xiong, just take this spirit stone. Your current cultivation is still shallow and it's the right time for you to cultivate with spirit stones. As Shi Wang is an elder of the Jade Stone Alliance, a low-grade spirit stone like this doesn't amount to much. Besides, your Mo Jing Yu is worth more than this low-grade spirit stone, so there's no need for you to decline." Seeing Huang Yu still declining, Sima Yan couldn't help but persuade him.
"It would be impolite to decline then." Seeing Sima Yan say this, and Pan Shan Shi Wang seeming to also want him to accept it, Huang Yu didn't refuse again. Moreover, having such a spirit stone could allow his cultivation to advance several levels, which was something he couldn't ask for more.
"That's right." Seeing Huang Yu put it away, Sima Yan happily patted his shoulder.
"With this piece of spiritual stone, your cultivation will be elevated by several levels. At that time, your eye technique should have a great improvement. Huang Yu, little brother, if you come across any good jade in the future, don't forget about me." Although Pan Shan Shi Wang has already made a name for himself, it's clear that Huang Yu's prospects are boundless. Not to mention his qualifications, but just his innate talent in jade alone is enough to make one want to befriend him. If possible, Pan Shan Shi Wang really wanted to take him on as an apprentice, but after learning that he could complete the technique, this matter could only be thought about and not actually done. Such a talented individual was not someone he could teach."
"Shi Wang, you're too kind. I still need your guidance and support. As for the jade stone, if you think it's worthy, I'd be happy to offer it to you. It's actually an honor for me to do so." Huang Yu understood that Shi Wang was intentionally trying to befriend him, and he wouldn't refuse such an offer. Although the Huang family was still doing well in Liu Lin Town, there was a huge gap between them and the Shi Wangs of Pan Shan. His own ambitions went far beyond just Liu Lin Town. Befriending Shi Wang would undoubtedly bring benefits for his future development.
"What's with the 'senior', if you don't mind, just call me Lao Ge Pan Shan." said Pan Shan Shi Wang with a smile.
"That night, I got drunk and climbed a high mountain with Old Brother Pan Shan."
"Good, good." Pan Shan Shi Wang was overjoyed and took out a thick notebook, handing it to Huang Yu, "Younger brother, this is some of my insights from years of stone gambling. Consider it a small gift for our meeting."
"This... Pan Shan brother, how can this be, it's not possible, this is too valuable, I cannot accept." Huang Yu was shocked when he saw it, this handwritten note, he naturally knew its value, that was the record of Pan Shan Shi Wang's experience with gambling stones. This gift was even more valuable than the previous piece of spiritual stone.
Even Sima Yan did not expect that Panshan Shi Wang would spend so much money just to get along with Huang Yu.
However, Sima Yan soon thought of the key point. Huang Yu's eye technique was extremely formidable. His cultivation was only at the second stage of Xiantian, but his eye technique had already reached this level. Generally speaking, people who cultivate eye techniques in the Xiantian realm can be said to be very rare, and Huang Yu's current eye technique may have already reached the point of entering the inner chamber.
His cultivation is not as good as his own, but his eye technique is far stronger than his own. If he waits for his cultivation to reach the same level as his own, what will his eye technique be like? This Pan Shanwang has gone to great lengths, sparing no effort in using his many years of cultivation experience to curry favor with Huang Yu, probably because he attaches great importance to this reason.
A person with extremely high innate talent in the art of eyesight is more promising and worth befriending than someone who can complete their skills through acquired abilities.
"What, don't you look down on me? That's right, I'm just a mere Yuan Shen realm cultivator, while Brother Huang Yu has extraordinary talent and is destined to enter a major sect. How can I possibly be on the same level as him?" He said, then was about to withdraw.
Huang Yu saw the situation and hastily shook his head, saying: "Big brother misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way. This is your own cultivation experience, which will be passed down to your own disciples in the future. It's definitely not something that can be shared with outsiders, how could I want it?"
"What's the big deal, my junior apprentice... never mind, as for my own cultivation achievements, they're not worth mentioning either. I just hope to be able to help you a bit on your path with jade stones. You have great talent and natural ability, and in the future, you'll definitely become a legendary figure in the world of jade stones. Don't laugh at me, but I've taken notice of your potential, and I hope that when you become successful later on, you won't forget this small favor I'm doing for you now, and will help out your senior brother then." Pan Shan Shi Wang was both moved and self-mocking.
"Borrowing big brother's auspicious words, if little brother truly has that day, he will definitely not forget big brother's kindness of giving him a book today." Huang Yu was very grateful in his heart. Even though he had good qualifications and high innate talent, without growing up, it would all be for nothing.
……
……
Su's home.
"You little scoundrel, speak up, what have you done?" Su Tianhong was furious, Su Guang hung his head in shame, covering his face, his teeth were knocked out, and his whole body was swollen like a pig's head.
"Old master, how can you bear to do this? Guang Er is also your own flesh and blood!" Seeing Su Guang being beaten like this, Han Shi was instantly heartbroken, grabbing onto Su Tianyong's hand and pleading with him.
Su Tianhong was extremely fond of his wife, Mrs. Han, but at this moment he was furious and pushed her away, scolding: "You're just a woman, what do you know? If it weren't for that good-for-nothing son of mine, how would my Su family be in such great trouble now? It's all because you spoiled him too much, and now he's gotten us into big trouble. My entire Su family is implicated, 365 million taels of gold! The entire wealth of the Su family isn't even enough."
Han was pushed to the ground, crying non-stop. When she heard Su Tianhong's words, she suddenly froze. She was the daughter of the Han family in Yancheng and also a wealthy family. As soon as she heard that Su owed so much debt, she even forgot to cry. What concept is 3 billion 650 million gold? Even if it were her mother's family, the entire Han family would have only that much wealth.
"Old... old master, you're not scaring me again, are you?" After a while, Han Shi slowly got up and weakly asked.
"You're a decent person, why would I deceive you? If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have hit him, he's my own flesh and blood too." Su Tianhong said bitterly, "Now that little brat from the Huang family will definitely not let things go easily. He has the support of the Pan Shan Stone King, we fundamentally have no way to contend with him, and the Su family will be ruined by my hands."
"What's to be done?" Han cried out, "Master, or else, shall I send someone back to Yancheng to fetch your father and bring troops for reinforcement?"
"Distant water can't solve the thirst of the near, let alone if it's the father-in-law, he won't necessarily turn against the Jade Stone Alliance for this matter." Su Tianhong shook his head, the strength of the Jade Stone Alliance was not something that a small family like the Han family of Salt City could contend with, and it was obviously impossible to turn against them for personal reasons.
"It won't happen, it won't happen, Father will never abandon us." Mrs. Han hastily said.
