But now, that had changed.

All of a sudden, Lin Xun detected a fiery-red, crystal-clear rock that was the size of a quail egg sealed inside a watermelon-sized meteorite.

Fire Origin Crystal!

It was a precious material that could be extracted for medicine or for crafting weapons.

But it was not particularly rare. Lin Xun had seen one for sale in the Skyone Pavilion for around eight hundred mid-grade aeth essence.

But now, the Star Debris Meteorite containing a Fire Origin Crystal was marked with a price of five hundred high-grade aeth essence, which was equivalent to fifth thousand mid-grade aeth essence.

There was a six-fold price difference!

Anyone who chose and bought that Star Debris Meteorite would suffer a huge loss.

“Chaofeng Eye turns out to have such a wonderful use…” Lin Xun exclaimed in his heart, “Does this mean that I am guaranteed to make a gain when I choose my Star Debris Meteorite?”

“Hey, monk, you’re also here! What? Do you, a monk, also want to take a gamble?” Nangong Shui’s feminine voice with hints of ridicule rang in Lin Xun’s ears.

Lin Xun turned his head to see Nangong Shui walking leisurely towards him.

Crowding around him were a few young men and women, all dressed in gorgeous and luxurious clothes. They were obviously not ordinary cultivators.

“Just looking around,” said Lin Xun casually.

“Monk, tell me honestly, what exactly do you mean by what you said earlier?” Nangong Shui’s gaze was like lightning as he sized up Lin Xun. “Why do I feel like you are cursing me?”

Lin Xun gasped in his heart. This guy’s intuition is quite sharp. But he maintained the same dignified and solemn expression. “The time has not come. I can’t say it. I can’t say.”

“Monk, which temple do you come from? How dare you speak like that?” snapped a young man standing behind Nangong Shui.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes at him. “My secular person, I see that the area between your brows has gone dark and the middle of your forehead is obscured by a shadow, an ominous sign. I advise you to speak cautiously to not stir up trouble. Otherwise, you may be faced with imminent disaster.”

The man was taken aback for a moment, and then flew into a rage, “How dare you curse me?”

Boom!

As he spoke, he threw a punch at Lin Xun’s face.

What was domineering? He was! He resorted to violence at the slightest disagreement.

Lin Xun brought his hands together and sighed softly like a Buddha pitying the state of mankind.

In truth, he had secretly activated one of the unique arts from the Great Earth Treasury Scripture— the Wei Tuo Subdue Demon Force and created an invisible force field all over his body, suppressing all demons and devils that touched him.

Bang!

Before the young man’s fist touched Lin Xun’s face, he felt a sharp pain shot through his arm like he had struck into a diamond. Not only did it feel extremely hard, but a fierce counterforce also snapped his fist and wrist.

Crack!

He staggered backwards, arm broken. He grimaced as he inhaled sharply, almost screaming out loud.

Nangong Shui and the others’ eyes all widened. They immediately realized that not only was the young monk strange, but he was also not an ordinary person.

Lin Xun sighed, “Look, secular person, hasn’t what I said come true? Are you not facing an imminent disaster?”

Everyone almost rolled their eyes. He was just wounded in battle! What disaster? That monk talks so much nonsense.

However, no one dared to underestimate the monk. Previously, Lin Xun stood in the same spot and showed no visible movement, yet the young man was wounded and blasted back from the impact. This was not something that an ordinary person could do.

“It turns out that you’re a Buddhist cultivator with superb strength.” Nangong Shui’s eyes were flowing with cold light, like the undulating tide, which was especially threatening.

“Fellow Cultivator Nangong is over praising me. If there is nothing else, I will continue to look at the rocks.” As Lin Xun spoke with a slight smile, he had already turned around and paid no attention to the others.

He was at a treasure appraisal event which was crowded with people and cultivators. Although Lin Xun was not afraid, he did not want to add problems at this time.

He specifically changed his appearance to avoid being recognized and avoid unnecessary troubles.

“Wait!”

However, Nangong Shui refused to let him go. “Monk, since you like admiring rocks then why don’t I play with you?”

“Play?”

“That’s right, by betting.” Nangong Shui’s eyes glowed aggressively. “You and I each choose a Star Debris Meteorite of the same price and then we will compare the value of the treasures inside. Whoever has the higher value of treasure will receive the corresponding amount of aeth essence from the other, what do you think?”

He was very conceited.

He had experience in identifying good Star Debris Meteorites, and he had grasped a secret art, so he was very confident that he could find rare treasures.

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes at Nangong Shui’s confident face. He muttered to himself, This guy came to my door to look for trouble.

Lin Xun might have hesitated to agree before, but now that he had discovered the amazing use of the Chaofeng Eye, he was not the least afraid to bet with anyone!

In his eyes, Nangong Shui was like a lamb who had been delivered to his door. If he didn’t stab him, then he would let him down hugely, especially considering his initiative and sincerity!

However, even if Lin Xun had that thought in his mind, he sighed aloud, “Forget it, I am a monk. The Buddha said that by diligently practicing discipline, concentration and wisdom, we extinguish greed, anger and ignorance. If I bet against you then I would commit the sin of greed and anger.”

Nangong Shui’s nose scrunched up in anger. This monk is so stubborn and boring. This is not fun at all.

“Monk, are you afraid? If that’s the case then just bow your head and apologize to Brother Nangong. After that, we can let you go,” someone said disdainfully.

“Haha, monk, who are you fooling? If you do not have any greed, then why would you come all the way here to attend the Rock Appraisal Event? Baldy, you are a hypocrite,” someone sneered.

“Monk, are you a man or not? If you are a man, then why do you waver so much? What Buddhism do you practice and what have you grasped?” yelled a loud girl in a red dress.

Lin Xun sighed helplessly. “Forget it, the Buddha said that: To save others is to save yourself. Today, I will save fellow Cultivator Nangong.”

His sentence drew cold peals of laughter from everyone. Did he say that he will save Nangong Shui? This monk is arrogant!

Nangong Shui’s face darkened. No matter how he heard it, it did not sound right. It was as though he was a monster that needed to be enlightened and saved...

“Let’s be honest, I only have forty thousand high-grade aeth essence. If I lose it all, then I won’t gamble anymore.” Lin Xun wrinkled his forehead as if he was worried and lacking confidence.

Forty thousand high-grade aeth essence?

Everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up. They didn’t expect the seemingly incompetent monk to have such wealth!

He had forty thousand high-grade aeth essence! Even disciples from rich and powerful sects seldom had that much.

Nangong Shui stared, stunned at Lin Xun. He didn’t expect that he would be so lucky to catch a fat lamb!

When the hell did monks become so rich?

In their eyes, Lin Xun had become a giant moving aeth essence, shining brightly and tempting them.

Someone couldn’t help asking, “Monk, can we also join in on the bet?”

“That...” Lin Xun muttered awkwardly. “I only have that much aeth essence. I can’t afford to lose.”

“It will be fine! You might be lucky and win!” a young man said cunningly.

The others also encouraged him.

Finally, Lin Xun sighed, nodded and agreed, “The Buddha is merciful, since you guys are so sincere, how can I have the heart to refuse?”

The fat lamb took the bait!

The young men and women exclaimed with excitement in their hearts. They couldn’t wait to stab Lin Xun.

At the same time, Lin Xun also grinned in his heart. He didn’t expect that not only could he stab Nangong Shui, but he could also slaughter the group of fat lambs that leapt out with him.

This made him wonder whether it was true that all Buddhist cultivators had extra luck.

The little disturbance had long attracted the attention of many cultivators. When they learned that Nangong Shui and a Buddhist cultivator were going to have a game of gambling, they all gathered around with anticipation.

“Okay, let’s not waste time, how about we start from the Star Debris Meteorite priced at five hundred high-grade aeth essence?” Nangong Shui also couldn’t wait to start.

”Okay.” Lin Xun frowned as though he was helplessly compromising.

This made the onlookers sigh. The Buddhist cultivator was so kind and compassionate. He lacked confidence yet he was still accepting the bet. Isn’t he the same as a lamb being led to slaughter?

If they weren’t afraid of Nangong Shui, then they would have joined in to stab at the monk.

“That one.” Nangong Shui had long eyed a Star Debris Meteorite, so he decided without any wavering, “I choose that one.” A playful smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he turned to look at Lin Xun. “Monk, it’s your turn.”

Lin Xun stood motionlessly with a serious look on his face, but he still hadn’t made a decision.

Everyone was more and more convinced that the monk would be slaughtered. He is just a novice. He hasn’t been able to pick out one Star Debris Meteorite after such a long time.

“Monk, hurry up!” someone yelled impatiently.

“Monk, can you do it or not? Why don’t you let me help you choose a meteorite?” someone mocked.

“Haha, the monk is in a cold sweat!” Someone burst into laughter when he noticed the bead of sweat dripping down on Lin Xun’s glowing forehead.

Nangong Shui and the others grinned confidently. This fat lamb can’t escape today!

“Then this one!” Lin Xun clenched his teeth and selected his Star Debris Meteorite. He even sighed and pretended to look worried.

But many people’s expressions changed when they looked at his chosen Star Debris Meteorite.

The piece of Star Debris Meteorite might look extraordinary from its shimmering silver surface, but experts could easily tell that it was of an inferior grade!

It had many fine holes, and its vein lines were scattered and incomplete.

It might not contain any treasures, let alone a rare one!

That monk is doomed.

They couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xun with pity. He likely can’t escape from that painful stab.
