Ghost Catching System

It’s rare for anyone to bid thirty billion, almost no one present.

But Old Guo also said, this thing is worth at least thirty billion.

Pan Chen said, "Young friend, let’s make friends."

Old Guo jokingly scolded, "Using a loss of several billion to make friends with you, you punk think he’s out of his mind?"

Pan Chen’s mouth twitched, if it weren’t for Old Guo reminding Chu Hao of the Earth Core Fire Source Stone’s price, Chu Hao might have really sold it before.

Old Guo said, "Young friend, if you trust this old man, tomorrow bring it to my auction house for auction, of course we will take some fees."

"Then thank you, Old Guo." Chu Hao said.

Old Guo shook his head and said, "I’ve been gambling stones for so many years, and I’ve never seen anyone as formidable as you, young friend. If you can teach me a trick or two, I’ll waivre the auction house fees."

Chu Hao smiled without speaking.

Zhang Guoyu and the others were utterly dumbfounded, seeing Chu Hao surrounded by a bunch of old men seeking stone gambling techniques, making them want to sneak up to listen and learn.

If they could learn one trick, wouldn’t they strike it rich?

Zhang Guoguo boasted, "Expert Brother is amazing, right?"

A Blue-Robed Student excitedly said, "Guoguo, can you ask him to teach us two tricks."

"Worthless." Zhang Guoyu scorned.

But then he chuckled, "Guoguo, where did you meet this expert?"

"Hehe, not telling you." Zhang Guoguo said.

...

It was the last piece of raw stone, also the largest, most valuable one.

Pan Chen regretted, could there be a stone spirit in this raw stone too? If so, Longteng Gambling Stone Workshop would suffer a huge loss today.

A five-billion-two-hundred-million raw stone, named Starry Stone.

It seemed rugged and uneven, like a meteorite that fell from the sky, hence the name Starry Stone.

A group of old men surrounded it, with Old Guo among them, saying, "I think we should cut this side, if there’s a stone inside, it can be preserved."

"No, I think we should grind the surface first."

The group of old men discussed slicing methods, putting immense pressure on the stone-cutting master. He wanted to say, you guys cut it, but dared not, as these old men were all influential, not ones he could offend.

Chu Hao stepped forward and said, "Just cut normally."

The stone-cutting master quickly nodded, took the knife and sliced.

Nothing revealed with the first slice.

Again, still nothing.

Everyone was disappointed, could this be a loss?

The raw stone got smaller with each cut, making Pan Chen release a sigh of relief, finally smiling, it really was a loss, if it kept increasing, his heart couldn’t take it.

"It’s a bust, it’s a bust," someone shook their head and sighed.

Mu Yun exhaled in relief and joked, "I thought he was so mysterious."

Zhang Guoguo glanced at him sideways, "Expert Brother has already made fifty billion, and you dare mock him."

Mu Yun: "..."

Indeed!

He made fifty billion, and here I am mocking, feeling like a clown.

A bust?

Impossible, Chu Hao knew how formidable a fortune a ten-thousand-fold fortune was, he calmly said, "Cut from the middle."

The stone-cutting master nodded, the knife slowly descended.

A "krack" sound, the knife broke, and the stone-cutting master screamed.

This was something the stone-cutting master had never experienced, bringing him into a panic.

The raw stone shook, constantly cracking, as if something was trying to come out.

"What!" Everyone was stupefied.

Finally, the stone completely cracked, layers peeled off, revealing something inside!

What could emerge by itself?

Everyone’s first thought was a stone spirit.

Stone spirits are extremely rare, some evolve over hundreds of thousands, millions of years to form stone spirits, their preciousness makes Yin and Yang Realm’s powerful beings drool.

If today, a stone spirit appears here, this Holy City might explode.

Everyone held their breath, even Chu Hao was no different, surprised he might have cut a living creature.

This feeling, same as when he cut out a toad.

Speaking of which, the toad was originally a stone spirit, if exposed in Shanhai Realm, who knows what disaster it would face.

"Is it a stone spirit? In my lifetime, to witness someone cut out a stone spirit, I can die without regrets," an old man with white beard and wrinkles exclaimed utterly excited.

"The legendary stone spirit also called Holy Stone Spirit, this thing can buy a city, no, ten cities and there would still be buyers."

"Buy! Don’t even think about it, its appearance means bloodshed."

"But this is the Holy City, who dares not give Jiuhua Glory Holy Land face."

Zhang Guoyu and his group were all dumbstruck, their jaws dropped, was it really a stone spirit?

The stone layer peeled away, countless people held their breath, eyes fixed, not wanting to miss a moment.

Finally, a glow revealed, a strange fragrance filled the area, making everyone feel refreshed, instinctively letting out a burp of contentment.

Inside wasn’t a stone spirit, a milky white liquid flowed out, seeing this, Chu Hao rushed to collect it with a bottle, feeling this thing is extraordinary.

He collected a bottle of the milky white liquid.

"Ding... rare liquid discovered, one drop can be exchanged for 50,000 Pretentiousness Points."

Exchange?

Chu Hao wasn’t foolish, one drop worth 50,000 Pretentiousness Points, he collected about a bottle, the value too high.

After collecting the milky white liquid, Chu Hao split the stone with a palm, collecting any remaining liquid, leaving nothing behind.

The liquid was gone, but a small, motionless white snake lay there, seemingly lifeless.

A group of old men gathered, staring at the little white snake, exclaimed, "What is this?"

Inside the stone, unexpectedly a small white snake?

Everyone looked puzzled, shaking their heads, is this thing a stone spirit?

It didn’t seem like it.

Chu Hao picked up the little white snake’s body, dryly coughed, "Uh, anyone wants this?"

The crowd was speechless, clueless about what this thing was, plus it was dead.

A Blue-Robed Student said, "Could it be a dragon!"

Someone said, "Don’t joke, how could a dragon be inside a stone."

Old Guo quickly said, "Brother, I offer twenty billion."

Someone couldn’t help but ask, "Old Guo, do you know what this is? Please tell us."

Old Guo shook his head, "It’s not that I won’t tell you, I don’t know either, but it seems to be dead."

Chu Hao pursed his lips, only twenty billion? He just collected the milky white liquid, one drop worth 50,000 Pretentiousness Points, clearly the liquid nurtured the little white snake.

Chu Hao shook his head, "Twenty billion is too little."

Old Guo was helpless, "I merely wish to study it, twenty billion is my limit."

Chu Hao sighed, "Forget it, I’ll keep it, pity this thing isn’t enough for soup, still need to get a big rooster."

"Ding... Host reached extremity in pretentiousness, gained 60,000 Pretentiousness Points."

The crowd was speechless, his first thought was soup?

Twenty billion for snake soup?

This is possibly the most expensive snake soup in history.
