Ghost Catching System

This is too much to handle; the total must be over seventy to eighty billion in this mega gamble.

This old man sure has money.

”Alright.”

Du Mao went all out this time, starting to cast spells and set up his altar with utter seriousness. He walked past one stone after another, carefully picking stones.

This time Du Mao focused on a stone worth five hundred billion.

He began his spell, shouting, ”The earth and stone share the same root, the stone holds the universe.”

”Wow!” He spat out a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.

”Master.” Du Mao’s disciple saw this and was extremely nervous.

He Yunpeng sneered, ”These stone skins are quite unusual; he suffered backlash when using spells to probe the stone’s origin.”

However, Du Mao continued spellcasting, his eyes red. For a gambler, this was nothing at all.

Not only did he want to win back the money, but he also wanted to prove his gambling skills far exceeded anyone present.

Du Mao stomped his foot, his hands forming signs, and various markings appeared on the ground, layer upon layer.

Seeing this, He Yunpeng’s expression changed, saying, ”This guy is gambling with his life; this is the Thirty-Seven Heavenly Earth Mysterious Stone Technique.”

Old Guo asked, ”Thirty-seven lattices, is that special?”

He Yunpeng replied, ”Actually, Du Mao and I share the same lineage; we both practice the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Stone Technique. He previously used only thirty-two Curse Marks; casting thirty-seven clearly shows he’s putting his life on the line.”

Though they came from the same school, they were brothers yet didn’t see eye to eye.

In the end, Du Mao pointed at the stone in front, ”It’s this one.”

The staff quickly approached; this stone was valued at five hundred twenty billion.

Du Mao felt weak and waved his hand, ”I’ll pay the bill.”

The staff was troubled.

At this moment, one of the exhibition’s owners stepped out, ”Quickly move the stone Du Master chose; we’ll talk about payment later.”

On hearing this, the staff hurried to comply.

The exhibition’s owner trusted Du Mao’s ability, or else why would they gamble on a five hundred billion stone without payment?

Chu Hao saw Du Mao chosen that stone and couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

Guo Xin noticed and asked, ”What’s wrong?”

Chu Hao said, ”This old man really is reckless; he’ll be crying later, that stone has issues.”

”What kind of issue?”

Chu Hao said, ”That stone will definitely break in a gamble.”

Shen Qian couldn’t help but ask, ”How do you know?”

Chu Hao smiled faintly, ”I just know.”

Shen Qian rolled her eyes.

Actually, Shen Qian was also especially shocked internally; not only was Chu Hao Wang Changsheng’s disciple, but his stone gambling skills were also incredibly adept, making him a genius among geniuses.

And this time, the stone Chu Hao chose was valued above five hundred billion, already one of the most expensive stones in this exhibition.

It was the stone he previously saw, named ”Qingtian.”

Six hundred and sixty billion.

The exhibition’s owner came forward excitedly, ”You want to choose this stone, young friend?”

Chu Hao replied, ”I don’t have enough money right now.”

The exhibition owner smiled, ”No problem, I believe young friend has the ability to pay for this stone.”

Chu Hao said, ”Sure, should I write a promissory note? I’m someone who follows the rules and doesn’t want debts.”

The owner nodded, ”Sure.”

In the end, Chu Hao secured the stone valued at six hundred sixty billion, ”Qingtian.”

”Wow, he chose Qingtian, truly bold.” An elder exclaimed.

”Why say that?”

”That Qingtian stone doesn’t look like a regular stone; it’s an old stone and not from this batch, way too expensive, and no one buys it.”

Someone puzzled, ”Since it’s an old stone, why so expensive? The merchant must be crazy.”

The elder explained, ”Because, Qingtian stone’s origin is peculiar; it was dug from deep within the Tianqiong Vein.”

”Additionally, the one who unearthed it was a Yin Yang Imperial Level expert, who died within a day, so the stone is rumored to be ominous.”

”Selling it at such a high price despite that ominous reputation.”

At this time, Du Mao had already said, ”Cut.”

The valued five hundred twenty billion stone excitedly engaged the Knife-handling Master; the first cut revealed no stone.

The second cut still revealed no stone.

Everyone was tense; what’s going on?

Du Mao’s expression was terrible, ”It’s not possible, I did not calculate wrong, it must have a stone inside.”

Another cut sliced through, again revealing nothing.

Finally, the edge’s stone skin was cut away, revealing the stone.

”It’s up, it’s up!” Someone exclaimed.

Someone else sarcastically, ”What rise! Blind eyes, this stone is the Insect Hole Stone Species.”

Only to see, inside the stone, numerous holes, bumping clumsily everywhere.

Du Mao’s face was astonishingly pale, coughing up fresh blood.

What is Insect Hole Stone Species?

It refers to stones gnawed by insects, which contained original stone substances but were devoured by something, a very unique bug in Tianqiong Vein known as Decaying Stone Insect.

Du Mao’s expression was grim to the extreme; he lay back in his chair, feeling unable to even stand.

Five hundred billion’s gamble collapsed, collapsed utterly.

Du Mao murmured, bewildered, ”Why did this happen.”

He Yunpeng sneered, ”You are far from mastering the Thirty-Seven Heavenly Earth Mysterious Stone Technique’s Curse Marks.”

Du Mao reminisced in a daze, ”I wanted to win too much; Master said one cannot rush in stone gambling.”

Win?

Not even needing to read, winning was assured; Du Mao Master slipped, he only needs to cut out stone and victory is certain.

Chu Hao said, ”Cut.”

The Qingtian stone was brought forward, and the Knife-handling Master began the cut.

First cut, ”Crack!” A special cutting blade snapped.

Knife-handling Master was also startled.

Switching blades, this time Knife-handling Master slowly cut from the surface.

Finally, the stone skin slowly peeled away, revealing a jade-colored stone.

”What stone species is this?” Old Guo and others, along with highly proficient masters, leaned in.

”Seems like Jade Milk Stone.”

”Jade Milk Stone? It’s not even valuable.”

Old Guo shook his head, ”It’s not Jade Milk Stone; it’s not as hard, just now the blade snapped.”

Knife-handling Master continued cutting.

Inside the stone contour slowly emerged.

Everyone wore a strange expression; at first glance, it resembled a jade coffin?

But, whose coffin is only three feet long and one foot wide?

People puzzled, what exactly is it, is it stone species?

Old Guo commented, ”Doesn’t it look like a long box for holding items to you guys?”

Old Guo’s remark enlightened everyone; could this thing open?

Countless people were drawn; everyone gathered around the long box, filled with curiosity.

Finally, Knife-handling Master completely cut the long box, it was merely a long box; Knife-handling Master attempted to push it open, but it was firmly sealed.

”Let me.”

General Flying Dragon stepped forward; he was indeed a powerful Body Cultivation practitioner.
