Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System

  "With just this Millennium Jade Heart, he's already won. What's the background of this young man? He looks so ordinary, yet he's produced a Millennium Jade Heart from an unassuming stone that nobody thought much of. How can his luck be so good?"

  "That's called real power, you know?"

  "Damn it, that's bad luck."

  "Damn it, I didn't expect to be hit by his Dog Shit Luck, now I've lost miserably. Ten mid-grade Spirit Stones, that's my entire fortune!" A martial artist at the peak of Human Infant Realm punched his chest and stomped his feet.

  "Serves you right."

  "It's fortunate that I only used a mid-grade spirit stone."

  Huang Yu listened to the voices of the crowd, secretly shocked in his heart. He had originally thought that Ling Shi was extremely precious, but unexpectedly, here, Ling Shi seemed not to be something too valuable. These people were all so wealthy.

  Actually, Huang Yu misunderstood. Those who can come here to gamble on stones are either top-notch gamblers or people with certain assets and strength. Moreover, this is also a very small number of people. Most warriors have very few spiritual stones.

  This raw stone, Huang Yu had high hopes for it, but unexpectedly, a thousand-year-old jade heart was opened up. The value of this thousand-year-old jade heart is not inferior to that of the top-grade spiritual stone, which is really astonishing. A thousand-year-old jade heart can allow oneself to upgrade one's cultivation and no longer worry about going crazy from excessive practice, and can safely exchange life for cultivation. This point is extremely important for Huang Yu.

  "This little brother, I wonder if the Millennium Jade Heart is willing to come out? The Flying Eagle Gang is willing to offer a thousand mid-grade spirit stones." Ye Feng looked at Huang Yu and said.

  "This little brother, I Liu Guangming am willing to offer 1,200 mid-grade spirit stones, and also allow you to enter the Zhongyuan Sword Sect, becoming an inner disciple of the Zhongyuan Sword Sect." Liu Guangming had been coveting that Thousand Year Jade Heart, if he could obtain it, his strength would make another breakthrough, within ten years, breaking through to the Lightning Tribulation Realm wouldn't be a problem. Once he broke through to the Yuan Spirit Realm and reached the Lightning Tribulation Realm, he would have the opportunity to become a Successor Saint Son. A Successor Saint Son held an extremely high position in the sect, was a candidate for Sect Master, once becoming a Successor Saint Son, there would be a chance to become the Sect Master.

  So, no matter what the cost is, this thousand-year-old jade heart must be taken down.

  "Little brother, this Millennium Jade Heart is extremely precious and will be of far greater help to you than the Spirit Stone, so think carefully." Gu Tian reminded him on the side.

  "Thank you, senior." Huang Yu looked at Gu Tian with gratitude upon hearing his words. He knew the value of the Millennium Jade Heart, and he didn't expect Gu Tian to say such a thing instead of trying to obtain it from him. This kindness made Huang Yu remember it in his heart. Then, he looked at Liu Guangming and Ye Feng and said, "Both of you, what Senior Gu said is right. This Millennium Jade Heart has great use for me personally, so I'm sorry."

  "Little brother, won't you consider it?" Liu Guangming's face turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this, and he said in a cold tone with a hint of threat.

  "Listen, kid. My brother is talking to you like this because he thinks highly of you. Don't be shameless when someone gives you face." Seeing Huang Yu not giving him face, Liu Sanbian openly threatened.

  "Hmph, why should I give you face? The Liu family may be decent in Qishui City, but I don't put them in my eyes." Hearing Liu Sanbian's threatening words, Huang Yu felt very displeased. Although he knew that making an enemy of Liu Guangming at this time was not a good thing, Huang Yu's personality did not allow him to bow his head.

  "Good... good... you're very good." Liu Guangming's face turned iron-green, he didn't expect this kid to not give him any face at all, speaking so arrogantly. "I hope your strength is as fierce as your mouth."

  "This is my Divine Stone Pavilion, and the outcome of the gamble has not been decided yet. I, this old man, do not allow anyone to cause trouble in my Divine Stone Pavilion, even if you are from the Liu family's Liu Garden." Gu Tian shouted lightly as he saw Liu Guangming about to take action.

  "Hmph, kid. Unless you're staying in the Divine Stone Pavilion." Liu Guangming looked at Huang Yu with a gaze full of killing intent and said, "Three transformations, let's go."

  "Wait, what about the lost spirit stone?"

  "You..."

  "Three changes, give it to him." Liu Guangming snorted, "Later on, he'll spit out both the principal and interest."

  "Hmph." Liu Sanbian took out twenty mid-grade spirit stones and tossed them to Huang Yu, then turned around and left the Divine Stone Pavilion.

  "This young man, unaware of the heavens and the earth, actually offended Liu Guangming, offended the Liu family, he's dead for sure."

  "What a pity."

  "This brother, if you don't mind, can go to my Dragon family. Although the Liu family is powerful, my Dragon family isn't weak either." At this time, Long Dou looked at Huang Yu and said.

  Huang Yu shook his head: "Thanks for your kind intentions, Dragon brother. Although the Liu family is formidable, I'm not afraid either."

  Long Bean saw Huang Yu like this, smiled slightly, took out twenty middle-grade spirit stones and handed them to Huang Yu: "This is the bet, if Brother needs help, come find me at Long's house, this is my token from Long's house."

  Long Bean came out of the Divine Stone Pavilion.

  This game of gambling on stones was also a foregone conclusion after Long Dou and Liu Sanbian left.

  There was still a piece of raw stone left, and Huang Yu didn't let Gu Tian open it on the spot. Instead, he followed Gu Tian into the VIP room of the Divine Stone Pavilion.

  "May I ask your honorable surname and great name, young brother?"

  "Thanks a lot for your help this time, Senior Gu." Huang Yu was still grateful to Gu Tian, although he didn't know why Gu Tian helped him. But Huang Yu could tell that Gu Tian didn't have any ill intentions towards him.

  "It's just a small matter, don't mind it, little brother Huang Yu. After all, this is still within my Divine Stone Pavilion, protecting guests is also the duty of my Divine Stone Pavilion." Gu Tian looked at Huang Yu and said seriously, "Little brother has offended Liu Guangming, things are a bit troublesome, but little brother can rest assured, as long as he is in my Divine Stone Pavilion, Liu Guangming won't dare to come and cause trouble. Little brother can feel at ease staying here."

  Huang Yu hesitated for a moment. Since he already owed someone a favor, it didn't matter if he owed another one. So he nodded and said, "Thank you, senior."

  "You can also call me Gu Shu if you don't mind. It's more suitable for someone like me." Gu Tian said with a smile after seeing Huang Yu agree.

  "Alright, Uncle Gu. I'll take your offer." In the city of Qi Shui, being unfamiliar with the place, having someone familiar to help was naturally a good thing, so Huang Yu nodded in agreement.

  "You're aiming too high, your future achievements will surely surpass mine. At this point, being able to get close to you and become a senior to you should be my honor." Gu Tian smiled and patted Huang Yu's shoulder.

  "Borrowing Uncle Gu's words, indeed." Huang Yu was still very pleased with this phrase, the old man's vision was really not bad. "Right, Uncle Gu, let's open up this raw stone, I feel that this raw stone shouldn't be much worse than that Thousand Year Jade Heart, I want to see what's hidden inside."

  "Alright, I do trust your eyesight, young master. This raw stone, I had my doubts about it too. However, this raw stone looks too perfect, so perfect that it's flawless. Generally speaking, a raw stone of such enormous size and with an exterior appearance as perfect as this one usually doesn't contain anything good.

  If this raw stone had some flaws and didn't look so perfect, it would be impossible to buy it for just three pieces of low-grade spirit stones. At the very least, its price should be around fifty pieces of low-grade spirit stones. But precisely because this raw stone's appearance is too good, nobody thought highly of it, which is why its price is only three pieces of low-grade spirit stones."

  This was quite unexpected for Huang Yu. Generally speaking, the better the quality of the original stone, the higher its price should be. A perfect-quality original stone like this one should have a very high price. This situation made Huang Yu really puzzled, so he asked: "Gu Shu, why is it that the more perfect the original stone looks, the lower its price?"

  When Gu Tian heard Huang Yu's words, he was somewhat surprised. This was the basic common sense of the gambling stone world, and he actually didn't know? Or was he pretending to be stupid? However, looking at Huang Yu's serious eyes, it wasn't that he was pretending, but rather he really didn't know.

  "Wise nephew, don't you know? This is basic common sense for a gambler?"

  Huang Yu shook his head: "Don't deceive Uncle Gu, I've just entered the profession not long ago, this is only my second time participating in gambling on stones, so I'm not very familiar with these things."

  On Earth, Huang Yu didn't participate in stone gambling, but he knew that on Earth, those wool products, the better they looked, the more astonishingly high their prices were, with some even reaching tens of millions, hundreds of millions, or even billions. However, it was unheard of for raw stone wool products to be cheaper when they looked perfect.

  Hearing Huang Yu's words, Gu Tian was even more shocked.

  "Brother, are you kidding me? Is this really the second time you're betting on a rock?"

  "That's right." Huang Yu nodded.

  "Since you don't understand, I'll tell you about the basic common sense of this gambling stone world. The key to winning at gambling stones is having a good eye, of course, that's for ordinary people. For someone like you who has cultivated the Eye Technique, having a good eye isn't important anymore. Those who cultivate the Eye Technique can see through the true nature of the original stone when they reach a high level, and the higher the level of the Eye Technique, the better the effect. I think... you've cultivated the Golden Ancient Eye Technique, right?" Gu Tian said to Huang Yu.

  Huang Yu thought for a moment and responded: "Yes, did Gu Shu know about the Golden Ancient Eye Technique?"

  Gu Tian nodded and said, "A long time ago, I was fortunate enough to see it once. This Golden Ancient Eye Technique should be a Heavenly Tier secret technique. Seventy years ago, in the Gambling Stone world, there was a young man who also cultivated the Golden Ancient Eye Technique. At that time, he swept through the entire Middle Yuan Country's Gambling Stone world, and no one could defeat him, relying on this very Golden Ancient Eye Technique. Seventy years later, today, seeing the Golden Ancient Eye Technique again, I seem to have seen that young man from back then."

  "It's a pity that at the time, I was just an apprentice named Little Si, and had no chance to meet such talents. However, seventy years later today, I have met my virtuous nephew and fulfilled the regret of that time."

  "Seventy years ago, was he also practicing the Golden Ancient Eye Technique?" Huang Yu thought to himself, wondering if that person seventy years ago could have been a member of the Huang family. After all, the Golden Ancient Eye Technique was a secret art passed down through the Huang family. However, there was no record of such a person in the Huang family tree.
