Sovereign to Immortality

“One hundred and fifty stone coins is fine, then let me choose a stone!”

Yang Junshan said as he pointed to the three ores in front of him.

“What?” “Impossible!” Li Laosan was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and immediately exploded.

Then, Li Laosan calmed down and looked around: “Brat, you want to bet stones?”

Yang Junshan was surprised: “What, you can’t?”

Li Laosan laughed coldly: “Alright, why is it not possible, but we, Old Li, got these three ores from different mines. We all have this kind of stone, the difference is just how many are inside, such a stone would cost at least fifty stone coins, you brat, a hundred and fifty stone coins worth of Heart Protecting Mirror, laozi wants to make you lose a stone, don’t even think about it.”

A mine? Yang Junshan sneered to himself in his heart: If you could get ores out of the mines, would you still be in such dire straits?

However, Yang Junshan did not dare show it on his face. Instead, he asked carefully: “Then, another ten stone coins?” fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

Li Laosan glared at him, and said: “I’ll spare you ten stone coins, one hundred and ninety stone coins will be taken away!”

Yang Junshan fished around in his embrace for a while, and then, with a face filled with reluctance, he fished out a Jade Coins and sixty-nine stone coins. He said in a troubled tone, “Look, all of my Jade Coins and stone coins are here, …”

Li Laosan’s eyelids jumped, suppressing the anger in his heart. At this time, he realised that the person in front of him was only a child, no matter how old he looked, how much stone coins did a eleven or twelve-year-old child have?

To be honest, when Li Laosan saw that Yang Junshan could take ouundred and sixty-nine stone coins, he was already surprised enough.

Li Laosan was slightly unwilling, but he was even more unwilling to part with so many stone coins. Foogue cultivator like him, these hundred or so stone coins were not a small amount of income.

Li Laosan clenched his teeth and stomped his feet, with an expression as though he had lost a great deal, he impatiently shook his hand and said: “Alright, alright, it’s yours, it’s yours. Quickly pick a rock and quickly take that heart protection mirror and leave, don’t delay us, Old Li’s business, we will lose a lot today!”

Yang Junshan couldn’t wait to put away the Heart Protecting Mirror, but after looking around the three ores for a while, the impatience in Li Laosan’s eyes became denser, then he picked one of them hesitantly: “Then, this one!”

Li Laosan did not doubt him, he had already seen two groups of people stopping in front of his stall and looking through his items, so he quickly said: “This iiece of ore that contains Low grade Dharma Essence Iron, if you can smelt 30% of it, you will have earned it. Quickly go, quickly go, don’t say that we, Old Li, are bullying little kids.”

30% Refined Iron? Li Laosan scoffed, even being able to refine 10% of this ore was already pretty good!

Watching Li Laosan’s back as he hurried back to his stall, Yang Junshan flung the ore in his hand, which had a small piece of ore that seemed to be an inch long and as red as rust, and laughed complacently.

This Heart Protecting Mirror was a low grade spirit artifact whose formation had been scattered by a large amount of monsters. However, from Yang Junshan’s perspective, this Heart Protecting Mirror had become a waste from the very beginning, and also because the creator of this Heart Protecting Mirror did not havigh enough level of smithing, which was why it was said that this spirit artifact that could originally be refined into a middle grade spirit weapon was reduced to a whole new level.

Cyan and red steel were mid-grade spirit materials. They were the best spirit materials for refining mid-grade protective magical equipment.

After the Heart Protecting Mirror was destroyed by a single punch from someone and a fist imprint was left on the surface of the mirror, the four finger marks on the surface of the fist shone with a green and red light, causing Yang Junshan to believe that the original material this Heart Protecting Mirror was made of cyan and red steel.

In his previous life, Yang Junshan had wandered around aogue cultivator after his clan had been destroyed. In order to save all the cultivation resources, it was more accurate to say that rogue cultivators could not find anyone to help them with their accumulated resources, and could only choose to do it themselves. Thus, the biggest characteristic of rogue cultivators was that they had to know a little about all sorts of cultivation techniques.

Even so, in his previous life, Yang Junshan had tenaciously pushed his cultivation all the way to the fourth stage of martial arts realm. If he was one of the strongest, then he would be able to control an existence of a small town. His experience was naturally something thaogue cultivator like Li Laosan, who had not even reached the martial arts realm, could not compare to.

Even though Li Laosan didn’t know about this Cyan Red Steel, Yang Junshan was sure that he hadn’t made a mistake.

A hundred and fifty stone coins to buy this Heart Protecting Mirror, even if this Heart Protecting Mirror was put back into the furnace, the green and red steel refined would be worth at least five Jade Coins.

However, Yang Junshan at this time would naturally not covet the little bit of Cyan Red Steel that was fused inside. Even without the protection of the formation array, this Heart Protecting Mirror would still be able to defend itself against the hundred refined weapons that were refined in Green Red Steel.

Furthermore, from Yang Junshan’s point of view, the remaining runes on the surface of the Heart Protecting Mirror could be used again!

It could be said thaogue cultivator was extremely poor. In order to use all of the resources in his possession, even broken magic tools and spiritual equipment had to be used as much as possible.

Although more than half of the runes on the Heart Protecting Mirror were already destroyed, Yang Junshan could still easily link the remaining few runes. Although it was unable to achieve the same level of power as the heart protecting mirror, it could at least increase the defensive power of the heart protecting mirror a little.

Just this Heart Protecting Mirror had already caused Yang Junshan to spend a hundred and sixty-nine stone coins worth of items, furthermore, he had a piece of ore in his hand.

Previously, Yang Junshan looked as if he was hesitating between the three ores, but in reality, his goal was the piece of rusted red stone in his hand from the very start.

Some of the cultivation resources such as iron and stone were hidden in the stone, or they could even be dissolved in the stone. Even the most advanced cultivators would find it extremely difficult to determine whether there was something they needed, or they could just barely determine it, but they wouldn’t be able to determine how much it was.

Stone gambling was naturally blocked by this uncertainty. However, if one was able to determine whether or not there were any ores within the ore, then the stone gambling would naturally be meaningless. Thus, ores that could be concluded and were widely known would naturally not be placed.

The Rust Ore waype of ore that could determine what kind of cultivation resource was inside. However, the knowledge about the Rust Ore had spread more than 10 years ago.

A generation of Prominent Class disciples that dealt in ores discovered that this ore was wrapped in a layer of refined iron ore, and on its surface was often a faint red rust the size of an inch. If one did not look carefully, they would even ignore this ore with red rust stripes, and this ore would definitely contain a small piece of spirit jade!

That’s right, it was spirit jade, used to cut Jade Coins s’ raw materials, and was alsreasure that cultivators could use to assist in their cultivation.

In his previous life, the son of the Prominent Class found out about this secret and quickly reported it to the family. The family saw it as an opportunity for him to rise and very quickly tried to secretly collect large amounts of Rust Rocks, but this Rust Rocks itself was very rare, and this family did not want to make it known to the public, so the amount collected was not that great.

After three years, when this secret was finally discovered by others, it was widely spread. The Rust Ore that was neglected was immediately controlled by all the large and small forces, and the Rust Stone was rarely seen in the market anymore.

Even so, after three years of accumulation, the family who first discovered the secret of the Rust Ore also gave birth tealms of life Ranker in a short thirty years, causing the family to rise from a small and remote Prominent Class to a rich family.

Later, Yang Junshan had a good relationship with a disciple of this family. The latter once told him that if it wasn’t for the fact that the Rust Ore was extremely rare, his family would have at least been able to make one or two Adept Realm Cultivator s of his family appear, and even become famous in a county, after three years of accumulation of secrets that no one knew about.

In fact, not only was the rusted ore itself rare, it was usually very small, no larger than the size of a fist, thus limiting the size of the spirit jade contained within. In his previous life, he had found that the largest piece of spirit jade that he had extracted from the rusted ore could only cut thirty Jade Coins s, and he had even obtained a thin piece of spirit jade that was not even worth a Jade Coins.

However, regardless of whether the spirit jade contained within the rusted ore was different in size, there was one thing for sure — the spirit jade definitely existed within the rusted ore.

Weighing the ore in his hand, Yang Junshan thought that this was indeed a shortcut to becoming rich. It was just that the Rust Stone was originally not common, and the probability of meeting one in this remote Wasteland Town was even less. Furthermore, with Yang Junshan’s current age, frequently going to the Grass City to gamble was evidently too eye-catching.

Furthermore, the most crucial point was that he was unable to cut the Spirit Jade inside the Rust Stone with his current cultivation level, so without the Spirit Jade, he would be unable to cut the Jade Coins. Without the Jade Coins, how could Yang Junshan secretly collect the Rust Stone?

It seemed that if he wanted to accumulate wealth in advance, he would need to borrow strength from his father. With his father’s martial arts realm, he would naturally not be suspected by others if he wanted to use the stone gambling aobby.

Yang Junshan seemed to have thought of something, and the expression on his face immediately became serious: Furthermore, in order to withstand the calamity that will engulf the entire Yuxian in a few years, he must do his best to help Yang Tiangang increase his cultivation.
