Chapter 1839 - 2: White Jade Toad

Lin Feng returned to his private room and sat cross-legged, slightly frowning, sensing that something was amiss.

A group of cultivators went to kill the young cultivator, clearly for the storage ring the young cultivator had just given him.

At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly recalled that the young cultivator once gambled with red eyes, claiming he would exchange a treasure he carried for source crystal stones.

Then he was pursued and hunted.

Was it at that time that he was targeted by those people?

Did they block him before he could exchange the treasure for source crystal stones?

And then those people wanted to kill him for the treasure?

This is one possibility.

But there’s a second possibility, which is that this young cultivator has more than one "treasure!"

When he took out the first treasure to exchange for source crystal stones, the second treasure was also revealed.

And this second treasure is a heavy treasure that could cause a deadly catastrophe.

If the second supposition is correct, then the group ambushing the young cultivator has two possible identities.

The first identity.

That group are also gamblers who exchange treasures for source crystal stones.

Upon seeing that the young cultivator had other treasures, they developed a killing intent.

The second identity.

They are from the casino.

The casino people are from Shen Zhou Commerce.

The owner of this massive fleet.

Seeing the second treasure, perhaps the young man was unwilling to exchange it.

Or maybe because the treasure is so significant, they couldn’t allow any news to leak.

So, the young cultivator was ruthlessly killed.

Every situation is possible.

Lin Feng couldn’t help but take a deep breath; if the second situation is true, it would surely be unfavorable for him.

He looked around every corner of the private room.

Because now Lin Feng was worried there might be a "monitoring spirit array" in the room!

This monitoring spirit array could imprint everything happening in the private room and then display it on a crystal screen densely covered with arrays.

Therefore.

One must guard against it.

...

"Indeed, there’s a monitoring spirit array!"

Lin Feng couldn’t help but slightly frown.

The monitoring spirit array was in a very hidden corner; it was hard to find without close inspection.

A business of this size generally wouldn’t do such things, so Lin Feng hadn’t checked initially.

But after the recent deduction, if the second supposition is correct, then Shen Zhou Commerce’s actions are truly despicable.

Since they can do such despicable things, what’s so strange about secretly placing a monitoring array in a private room?

Seeing this monitoring spirit array, Lin Feng gradually believed the second supposition.

The people ambushing the young cultivator were Shen Zhou Commerce cultivators.

At this moment, he was suddenly shocked.

Because Lin Feng was worried whether there was also a monitoring array set up outside the casino, and if a monitoring spirit array is set there, wouldn’t the image of the young cultivator giving him the storage ring be imprinted as well?

If so, then he must leave quickly, otherwise continuing to stay on the ship would only lead to death.

He got up and left the private room, checking the area outside the casino, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because people come and go here, Shen Zhou Commerce people were somewhat apprehensive.

Thus, they didn’t set up a monitoring spirit array.

This made Lin Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

"These Commerce are no good; the Jiuzhou Alliance is like this, Shen Zhou Commerce is like this too!"

...

Lin Feng couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

These great forces.

Are inherently focused on profit.

For profit, they can do anything.

So Shen Zhou Commerce people developed greed and killed the young cultivator, which didn’t seem strange to Lin Feng at all.

He returned to his room and then set up an illusion array to cover the monitoring array placed in the private room by Shen Zhou Commerce.

Next, he took out the storage ring given to him by the young cultivator.

This storage ring didn’t have anything special to it, just an ordinary storage ring; divine sense invaded it and found the ring was not large, only about a dozen cubic meters, not able to hold much.

Inside the storage ring were some miscellaneous, trivial things, basically of little value, and Lin Feng’s gaze was drawn to a golden box.

He took the golden box out from the storage ring.

The box had prohibitions that sealed it.

These prohibitions had just been set up not long ago.

Lin Feng’s brow slightly raised.

He opened the box.

Quack! Quack! Quack!

Immediately, sounds resembling frogs or toads emerged.

Whoosh!

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and something jumped out.

The white light wanted to rush out of the private room.

Lin Feng quickly cast a mana spell, capturing the flying white light.

At this point, he finally saw what it was.

It was actually a white jade toad.

The white jade toad stared at Lin Feng with round, bulging eyes.

It wanted to struggle free from Lin Feng’s mana restraint but tried several times unsuccessfully.

"It’s truly the creation of heaven and earth! Quickly perform the blood ritual! Let the white jade toad recognize you as its master." Black Bear Demon Monarch couldn’t help but say excitedly.

Lin Feng didn’t immediately perform the blood ritual on the white jade toad because he really didn’t understand what this white jade toad was.

He asked, "What’s special about this white jade toad?"

"Stones absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth, sun and moon essence, and can transform into the Stone Clan, and you’re quite familiar with the Stone Clan’s talents, they are exceptionally terrifying!"

Black Bear Demon Monarch said.

Lin Feng nodded.

Indeed.

The Stone Clan is truly powerful.

The Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Fighting Saint Ape!

A formidable clan of Stone Clan.

The large and small stone apes that once reversed the chaos in heaven and earth.

...

Black Bear Saint Monarch continued, "And jade stones can also undergo transformation, you’ve probably heard a saying, this saying is called spirit communication of jade stones, meaning many jade stones have spiritual properties!"

Lin Feng nodded, indeed there is the saying "spirit communication of jade stones."

In his childhood, he saw some elders in the family continuously wearing jade stones, all blood-red.

He heard from the elders that jade needed to be warmed with the body.

And some top-notch jade stones could even absorb some of the host’s impurities in the blood.

Those jade stones that turned blood-red absorbed the impurities in the host’s blood.

Black Bear Saint Monarch added, "Actually, jade is also formed from stones! If we liken stones to people, ordinary stones are akin to ordinary people who haven’t cultivated, those absorbing sun moon essence and heaven and earth energy are cultivators, and jade stones are cultivators with special bloodlines!"

This explanation was simple and straightforward, Lin Feng quickly grasped the meaning Black Bear Saint Monarch was conveying.

Black Bear Saint Monarch continued, "The white jade toad is transformed from the spirit-communicating white jade and belongs to the Stone Clan, but its talents are much stronger than the average Stone Clan!"
