Chapter 565: Chapter 309 “Divine Artifact Within Immortal Origin” and “Heavenly Path’s Destiny Tribulation” (Please Subscribe)_2

No one tried to intercept Milton Cheney on his way, and he did not feel at all targeted.

“It seems I’m really not the Child of Destiny, as I haven’t encountered anyone challenging me as soon as I step out.”

Milton Cheney chuckled to himself.

A moment later, he had reached the center of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion’s market.

“Eh!”

A hint of surprise surfaced in Milton Cheney’s heart.

Because not far from him at a large stall, quite a number of people were gathered.

With his Nascent Soul cultivation not being suppressed, he could clearly hear what those people were discussing.

It was the subject of their discussion that piqued Milton Cheney’s interest.

“Immortal Origin?”

Milton Cheney murmured to himself, his eyes sparkling with intrigue.

Is this the Cultivation Realm’s version of gemstone gambling?

Without stopping, Milton Cheney walked towards the stall selling Immortal Origin.

As he approached, the clamor reached his ears.

Those gathered around the stall, one by one, looked excited, as though they were all anticipating something.

Milton Cheney even noticed a Golden Core early-stage cultivator, who at that moment was also flushed with excitement.

This kind of scene in the Cultivation Realm gave Milton Cheney a sense of dissonance.

These people reminded him of the gambling addicts on the Previous Blue Star, who had lost themselves in the heat of the moment.

This only made Milton Cheney more curious.

“It’s my turn, my turn, Old Lees, open up this piece of Immortal Origin for me.”

A middle-aged man said excitedly.

He then placed a chosen piece of Immortal Origin on the stall owner’s counter.

The stall owner referred to as Old Lees was the vendor of this Immortal Origin stall.

Milton Cheney naturally also saw this piece of Immortal Origin.

At the sight of it, his expression turned to one of bemusement.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary rock?”

A thought crossed Milton Cheney’s mind.

In his perception, this piece of Immortal Origin was nothing more than an ordinary stone, entirely unremarkable.

The stone was pitch black and virtually indistinguishable from the rocks one might find by the roadside.

Rough and pitted, this was the so-called Immortal Origin.

However, Milton Cheney was not one to judge by appearances; if something could stir the hearts of so many cultivators, there must be a reason for it.

He decided to observe a little longer since he had plenty of time.

Such an entertaining spectacle was something Milton Cheney had not experienced in a long while.

“Three hundred top-grade Spiritual Stones, non-negotiable.”

Old Lees spoke softly, maintaining a stoic expression while a small, exquisite knife began to whirl in his hand.

He started to cut and scrape away at the piece of Immortal Origin on the counter, eventually revealing its inner contents.

A deep blue stone emerged from within the Immortal Origin.

“Top-grade Water Essence Crystal, market price two hundred and forty top-grade Spiritual Stones.”

After revealing the crystal, Old Lees’s expression remained unchanged. He simply explained and tossed the Water Essence Crystal to the middle-aged man who had just purchased the piece of Immortal Origin.

The middle-aged man caught it and looked somewhat disappointed.

After all, this was the result of his careful selection after a long time.

He had hoped for a significant find but ended up making a loss instead.

The next moment, though, his expression returned to one of excitement, and his eyes swept over the other pieces of Immortal Origin on the stall.

“What the heck, after all that time picking, I ended up with trash, let me have a go!”

“Don’t push, it’s my turn now, my turn!”

“What’s going on with Old Lees’s stall these last two days, why’s it suddenly so bustling? Wasn’t it usually lukewarm? He must have made as much in these last few days as he did in the previous month.”

“You’re out of the loop. Three days ago, a young lady revealed a Millennium Ice Marrow the size of an egg on Old Lees’s stall!”

“How is that possible!? Isn’t that worth millions of top-grade Spiritual Stones?”

“Indeed, and at that time, an executive of the Jade Cauldron Pavilion personally conducted a small auction, and it sold for a sky-high price of four million top-grade Spiritual Stones.”

“If it weren’t for the space limitations and the low profile of the auction, that Millennium Ice Marrow could have easily fetched four and a half million top-grade Crystal Stones.”

“Wasn’t the young lady targeted afterward?”

“How could she not be, but it seems like she was taken by people from the Jade Immortal Sect, rumored to pursue the path of an Immortal Origin Master.”

The people around the stall whispered among themselves, but these whispers were crystal clear to Milton Cheney.

On the edge of the stall, Milton Cheney’s gaze flickered slightly.

Millennium Ice Marrow?

Millions of top-grade Spiritual Stones?

Immortal Origin Master?

This all sounded somewhat surreal.

A treasure like Millennium Ice Marrow could actually be found inside Immortal Origin?

If that were the case, cultivators behaving like gamblers was more understandable.

Four million top-grade Spiritual Stones, even richer than his own wealth.

It was an exaggerated notion of sudden wealth.

But hearing is not as good as seeing, and the discussions he overheard may not be entirely accurate.

Most likely real, but with a small chance of being false.

That was Milton Cheney’s judgment.

At this moment, however, Milton Cheney truly became interested in this so-called Immortal Origin.

Unnoticed by all, his figure had suddenly appeared in the innermost part of the Immortal Origin stall.

As time slowly passed, Milton Cheney observed for several hours.

He came to a conclusion.

It was indeed the Cultivation Realm’s version of gem gambling.

Even he couldn’t discern what exactly lay inside the Immortal Origin stones, which looked just like ordinary rocks.

Completely opaque, whether an ordinary piece of Immortal Origin or one that contained treasure, they appeared the same to Milton Cheney’s senses.

Unless fully opened, there was no way for Milton Cheney to know what lay inside those pieces of Immortal Origin.
