The Prodigies War

Chapter 986 Treasure Appraisal

By the window of the restaurant sat a black-robed young man. His skin was very fair, and he had an air of superiority and femininity around him.

He was definitely the son of a wealthy family. Beside him stood two young and graceful maidservants serving him food and wine.

He was the one who said that he could kill Demon God Lin as easily as slaughtering a chicken.

“Friend, that’s too exaggerated. No matter what, Demon God Lin managed to kill Old Monster Mo Xi, a Life Death Stage King, so he can’t be an ordinary person,” someone disagreed.

The black-robed man sneered, “That’s because you don’t know what strong is. Also, although Old Monster Mo Xi is a king, he is a quasi-king because he has only been at the king stage for ten years. He can be called the weakest Life Death Stage King, so it’s not that surprising that he was killed.” He spoke very leisurely and his voice reeked of arrogance.

Many people looked at him with disgust. “He is still a king. Even if he was the weakest king, not anyone can judge his strength. Moreover, if Demon God Lin was around, would you dare to repeat what you said?”

The black-robed man took a sip of wine before he answered calmly, “As far as I know, he is only at the Cyclic Derivation Stage. I can kill him with a flip of my hand. Not only do I dare to say that, I even dare to slap him to death!”

Not far away, Lin Xun could not help but cast a glance at the black-robed man. He noticed that the man had a feminine and soft aura, but he was extremely conceited and arrogant.

His conceit naturally drew disgust from other people. “Demon God Lin is just a youngster from the West Infinity World yet he has already reached the Cyclic Derivation Stage. That is already quite amazing. Friend, dare I ask what your cultivation level is?”

“I am nothing special, just a fourteen year old boy who has set foot into the Cyclic Derivation Stage,” replied the black-robed man casually.

Everyone dropped their jaws, realizing that the black-robed man had to be a peerless genius. It was no wonder that he was so conceited.

Someone couldn’t help asking, “Dare I ask for your name?”

“Nangong Shui.”

“Nangong Shui from Heaven Axis Holy Land?”

“Haha, is there another me in this world?” chuckled the black-robed man, a proud smile tugging at his lips.

“No wonder, Nangong Shui is one of the six true disciples of Heaven Axis Holy Land. Very few of his peers can compare with him in the Ancient Blue Province.”

“The Nangong Clan has two geniuses in their clan, elder brother Nangong Shui and younger brother Nangong Huo, and both are dazzling figures in the Heaven Axis Holy Land.”

Everyone in the restaurant gasped in amazement because they had all heard about Nangong Shui before.

While Lin Xun was taken aback.

He remembered that when he was in the Ziyao Empire, the Heaven Axis Holy Land had sent people to the Qinglu Academy.

And Nangong Huo was one of them.

At that time, an attendant of Nangong Huo managed to utterly beat students of Qinglu Academy

Then, he took action to crush the group of people one by one.

He clearly remembered that Nangong Huo was also extremely conceited and almost went berserk after his tragic defeat.

In the end, the situation was resolved through the mediation of an old monster of the Life Death Stage called Yue Xiu.

Lin Xun just never imagined that he would run into Nangong Huo's elder brother!

“Could it be that he has guessed my identity so he acts so hostile towards me?” Lin Xun thought to himself.

……

In the afternoon, the Rock Appraisal Event started as scheduled.

The outskirts of the city suddenly became buzzing, with rays of divine light streaking across the sky from time to time like rainbows as figures descended upon the area. The majority of them were young cultivators.

They were all racing towards the huge garden.

Lin Xun also came, but he was in a black monk’s robe, holding a rosary in his hand. His forehead was smooth and glowing. He had transformed into a young monk using the Great Formless Art.

If Mu Zheng, one of the eighteen sons of the Earth Treasury Temple, was here, then he would definitely cough up blood with anger, because Lin Xun had transformed to an exact likeness of him.

Lin Xun took out the badge from Gao Tianyi and entered the garden without any issues.

He surveyed the surroundings as he stepped inside and saw several beautiful pavilions, terraces, and buildings. The trees were a beautiful lush green, and the garden spanned many acres. Young cultivators were everywhere with more still coming.

Shua!

A shaft of golden divine light pierced the sky. It was a treasure ship blasting away the clouds as it directly landed in the depths of the garden.

The crowd broke out in an uproar.

“Those are important figures and elites from the Heaven Axis Holy Land!”

“What a group of powerful youngsters. The Heaven Axis Holy Land is indeed the number one sect in the Ancient Blue Province. Even the successors they cultivated are so astonishingly powerful.”

Amid the discussions, a golden figure flashed across the air. It was a young man in a golden robe. Not only was he handsome, tall and slender, but he also emitted a beautiful golden glow like a divine being.

Behind him was a group of young men and women that made him look even more extraordinary.

Chu Beihai!

Some people didn’t need to do anything to show that they were extraordinary. Chu Beihai was no doubt that kind of person.

Many young women’s eyes blazed fanatically, while male cultivators’ eyes brimmed with gazes of astonishment and admiration.

His appearance immediately overshadowed everyone else.

Even Lin Xun had to admit that Chu Beihai was indeed a supreme cultivator. It was hard to ignore his remarkably graceful bearing.

Of course, Lin Xun had seen many similar kinds of characters in his life, such as Shun Baixuan, Yu Lingkong and even Mu Zheng, whom he was disguised as, but they were all inferior to Chu Beihai.

He paid no more attention to him because what truly surprised him was an acquaintance he spotted among the young men and women behind Chu Beihai.

It was a handsome and graceful young man dressed in a white robe, Gu Yunting!

Back when he was in the Qinglu Academy, Gu Yunting was one of the most influential figures, possessing the talent of Dao Fire Golden Body. He was highly respected by his peers.

However, Lin Xun had clashed with him once. Although they never truly exchanged blows, their relationship had become very bad.

Now, after a few years, Lin Xun was surprised to see him again in this East Victory World.

But it made a lot of sense because the young disciples who traveled to the Ancient Wasteland Domain from the Ziyao Empire, including Bai Lingxi, Xie Yutang and Gu Yunting, all went to train in an ancient sect.

On the contrary, Lin Xun seemed to be the worst among them because he was still wandering alone.

Of course, this was only a difference between having a sect or not.

Gu Yunting seemed to be doing very well. Although Chu Beihai had overshadowed him, his status within the Heaven Axis Land was definitely not low since he was following behind Chu Beihai.

However, he could not compare with Chu Beihai.

Immediately, Lin Xun spotted another acquaintance. He was dressed in a fiery-red luxurious robe with a belt strapped around his waist and a tall hat crowning his head, highlighting his handsome and arrogant face. It was Nangong Huo who had his butt kicked by him.

Lin Xun quickly retracted his gaze.

He knew that all the outstanding students in Qinglu Academy were sent to train in the Heaven Axis Holy Land, so it was not surprising to see some familiar faces.

“Monk, move out of the way!” A feminine voice rang in Lin Xun’s ears.

He did not react at first, but soon he realized that he was being ordered to move.

Lin Xun turned around to see Nangong Shui, who earlier announced that he could kill Demon God Lin like slaughtering a chicken.

This feminine black-clothed man had his hands clasped behind his back as he stared coldly at Lin Xun with two maidservants standing beside him. He was still wearing a conceited look on his face.

“It turns out to be Fellow Cultivator Nangong.

Nangong Shui wrinkled his brows. “Who are you?”

“I am Mu Zheng.” Lin Xun put his hands together, perfectly imitating Mu Zheng’s dignified and peaceful demeanor.

“Do I know you?” Nangong Shui said in bewilderment.

“It’s already enough that I recognize Fellow Cultivator Nangong,” Lin Xun said with a smile. Although his cultivation had grown more and more profound, his vengeful nature hadn’t changed much.

Nangong Shui had threatened to kill him with a slap. That was a direct provocation!

“What does that mean?” Nangong Shui found the monk in front of him incredibly odd.

“Because if there is an opportunity, Fellow Cultivator may ask me for help,” Lin Xun said seriously.

“What can you help with? Monk, don’t act so mysterious,” Nangong Shui snorted coldly.

“The time has not come, so it must not be forced,” Lin Xun said leisurely before he turned around and left.

“That baldy has learned how to fool people at such a young age. In my opinion, there is no good Buddhist cultivator!” Nangong Shui snorted, feeling baffled. As he was speaking, he walked away with the two maidservants.

……

After taking a wander around the garden, Lin Xun came to the rock appraisal zone.

The emerald green grass was littered with all kinds and sizes of Star Debris Meteorites, all emitting a silvery star-like glow.

This was the outer area of the Rock Appraisal Event, which meant that the grade of the meteorites on display was at most average. But the deeper one went, the higher the grade of the meteorites.

For example, the Star Debris Meteorite that attracted Chu Beihai to come was located in the deepest part of the garden, a place of restricted entry.

Lin Xun purely came here to try his luck. After all, the token that Gao Tianyi gave him was equivalent to forty thousand top-grade aeth essence. It would be a waste if he did not take advantage of it.

He came to a stop and activated his spirit sense to examine everything.

He was very lucky when he unearthed three king-grade herbs at the bottom of Chaos Star Beach Lake.

But now it was different. Every piece of meteorite on display was marked with a price for people to assess and select.

If one chose a meteorite containing no treasure then it would be a waste of money.

This was the so-called rock betting.

Lin Xun had no experience in betting, so he planned to test the water in the outer area first. He wanted to figure out the best way to choose a Star Debris Meteorite.

Interesting!

Very quickly, Lin Xun sensed an obscure power surging within each Star Debris Meteorite, which blocked his spirit sense and made it impossible for him to perceive what was hidden inside it.

It was impossible to determine whether it was just a useless rock or not.

However, when Lin Xun activated the Chaofeng Eye, everything he saw before him changed…
