Top Grade Immortal Emperor in the Flower City

Ye Ling dodged swiftly, immediately avoiding the blow.

At the same time, Ye Ling kicked out, striking the man's chest with a loud 'bang'.

The man's iron rod dropped from his hand, and he was slammed hard against his own explorer.

The loud noise made the waiter's heart tremble fiercely.

He didn't feel any pleasure from it, but instead, a sense of fear.

"You still want the money?"

Ye Ling walked up to the man, grabbed him by the collar, his body radiating a murderous aura.

The man felt as if he had fallen into hell, surrounded by demons, trembling in terror.

"No... I don't want it anymore..."

"It's better that way."

Ye Ling took out 30,000 cash from his body, which he always carried with him.

"Same as before, I give you 30,000, and we call it even. If you're not willing, then go ahead and call the police, but if I find you, I'll kill you!"

After saying that, Ye Ling turned and walked toward the waiter.

To deal with people like this, you have to be tougher than they are.

The man was so frightened he nearly wet his pants; he scrambled up, got into his car, and as he backed out, his feet almost slammed through the mailbox.

He was genuinely scared by the imposing presence Ye Ling exuded.

In the man's eyes, someone with such an aura definitely must have killed before!

"What are you afraid of?"

Ye Ling patted the waiter's shoulder and said, "Let me tell you, in this world, you cannot be too honest. Don't believe in the saying that good people will always receive good karma."

The waiter didn't seem to fully understand, but he nodded anyway.

Seeing that he didn't seem capable of continuing driving, Ye Ling got into the BMW and parked it in a spot.

"Let's go, take me to your store to have a look." Exclusive content from m,v lem|p,yr

This store was very popular, in fact, nearly every store here was bustling.

It had three floors and a large courtyard at the back.

In the lobby of the first floor, many antiques were displayed. Ye Ling could see at a glance that about eighty percent of these antiques were genuine.

"As expected of a store that can operate on Antique Street, certainly much more genuine than what Li Fugui offers," Ye Ling thought.

"Sir, may I have your honored surname?"

The waiter now seemed to have regained composure and asked with a smile.

"I'm Ye Ling."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ye, my name is Han Lin."

Han Lin added, "Mr. Ye, what brings you here? Are you looking to buy or sell?"

"I'm looking to buy some jade."

"Oh, jade... the third floor is where we sell jade articles, and we have jade stones too, but they're quite expensive. I would suggest, if you have some knowledge about gambling on stones, you might rather go to the large courtyard at the back and choose some raw stones for cutting."

"Oh?"

Ye Ling immediately became interested.

He knew about gambling on stones; Baidu's information wasn't for nothing.

However, generally speaking, gambling on stones is like gambling, with a significant element of luck involved.

If you bet right, you might become a millionaire, or even a multimillionaire or billionaire, overnight.

But if you bet wrong, then sorry, consider yourself unlucky.

Many people have lost everything they had because of gambling on stones.

Simply put, stone gambling has slightly better odds than buying lottery tickets, but merchants are not in the business of making losing deals.

"Take me to see." Ye Ling said with a smile.

Following Han Lin to the backyard, he saw that there were even more people here than in the main hall.

Many were gathered around the large patch of raw stones in the middle, looking on with interest.

"Oh, even the one who drives a Chery is here?"

The chubby BMW driver, Gao Ning, was also present and spotted Ye Ling as he entered, immediately calling out loudly.

As he spoke, the people around all turned their heads to look.

"The one who drives a Chery wants to gamble on stones?"

"How amusing, even one of these larger stones could buy him a Chery car."

"These days, everyone wants to try their luck at gambling regardless of their status."

Sarcastic comments wafted from the crowd.

When Han Lin saw Gao Ning, his heart skipped a beat; he had just had a car accident driving his BMW.

If Gao Ning found out, wouldn't he be finished?

But just then, a hand patted Han Lin on the shoulder.

For some reason, Han Lin immediately calmed down.

"This chubby guy has a deep furrow between his brows, his face round like the earth; within three days, he is bound to lose money."

Ye Ling commented with a smile upon observing Gao Ning's appearance.

In his previous life, Ye Ling had quite researched fortunes and feng shui.

"Look quick, there's jade in the cut!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out.

All heads turned to see a craftsman had just sliced open a raw stone, revealing a flash of bright green light.

"It's gone up, it's gone up!"

Someone saw the color getting brighter and bellowed excitedly, as if the raw stone were his own.

"Do we cut again?" the craftsman asked a middle-aged man standing by.

The middle-aged man's face also showed excitement; after thinking for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Another slice!"

"Alright."

After the craftsman nodded, he brought down another cut.

The middle-aged man's face immediately turned ashen, as he saw the jade stone split into two halves with that cut.

He was filled with extreme regret, thinking that if he hadn't cut it, the stone could have sold for hundreds of thousands!

But now, having been split, its value had plummeted.

"Ah... such a pity," the stone-cutting craftsman also shook his head.

Ye Ling's eyes brightened as he circulated his True Qi and was able to feel Spiritual Energy from these raw stones.

Meaning, Ye Ling knew which raw stone contained jade and which did not.

"I thought I had to be at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage to sense it, seems like Earth's jade is just too low-grade, even the Early Stage Houtian is enough to detect it," Ye Ling mused to himself as he pushed his way into the crowd with Han Lin.

"Yo, kid, you want to gamble on stones too?"

Gao Ning, seeing Ye Ling actually squeeze into the crowd, immediately showed a mocking smile.

"Can't I give it a try?" Ye Ling responded indifferently.

"Ha, that's really quite funny. Any stone here could buy you a car, are you planning to put your car up as collateral? A shabby Chery, I'm afraid the boss lady wouldn't even take it, ha!" Gao Ning laughed loudly.

Han Lin also tugged at Ye Ling's sleeve and said, "This batch of raw stones just came in yesterday, it hasn't been picked over yet, but the price is much higher than the previous stones. Even this 100-pound stone starts at a minimum of 50,000."

Ye Ling nodded and looked towards Gao Ning.

"Chubby, you're so loud, how about we bet on a round?"
