“What?”
“This one is missing a leg! It won’t even stand upright, what use could it be?” Waltz spoke up, visibly confused.
Alex’s eyes lit up and replied calmly, “It’s the heaviest.”
Waltz was speechless. “I guess we’re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What’s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.”
Alex smiled without saying a word, favonovel.com was extremely excited.
The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object.
Tobias smiled. “Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, favonovel.com can just take it, I won’t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would’ve thrown it out if the base wasn’t still intact.”
“Okay, I’ll be taking it then.”
The stove wasn’t big, yet it was quite heavy.
However, such weight was nothing to Alex.
Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in and exclaimed excitedly. “Tobias, Tobias! We’re in the green! In the green! A glassy imperial jadeite, it’s quite ancient too! It’s going to be a big deal!”
Tobias’ face flushed from excitement. “Oh my god, really? A glassy jadeite too? How big is it? Where is it? Bring me to it now!”
Suddenly, Tobias snapped back to reality, favonovel.com realized that the two powerful figures, Waltz and Alex were still in his store. He turned around and apologized. “Sorry, Ms. Fleur. I lost my senses for a second there.”
Waltz asked, “What were you guys talking about? What do you mean by ‘in the green’?”
Tobias replied, “That’s a slang within the stone gambling community. In the green means that someone found jadeite from the ores. A glassy imperial jadeite would be one of the best out there.”
‘Jadeites?’
Alex could feel his heart pounding harder.
He was able to absorb some Chi from a jade last time, helping favonovel.com improve The Force to the third level. He was able to sense the Chi flowing within the jade, hence favonovel.com was wondering if favonovel.com could feel it within the ores as well.
With this thought still in mind, favonovel.com turned to Waltz. “Waltz, I’m a little interested in stone gambling, can we go take a look too?”
Waltz wasn’t interested in any way.
Money didn’t even matter to her, let alone stone gambling.
The only thing favonovel.com was interested in was martial arts.
However, since Alex was so enthusiastic in going, favonovel.com couldn’t refuse.
They left the stove back in the store again and headed towards the stone gambling store. The news about the glassy imperial jadeite spread like wildfire and the store had become extremely crowded.
Everyone was talking about the lucky guy who bought the stone.
The guy was still around too. It was an old man and favonovel.com was jumping from excitement.
His stone wasn’t completely cut yet and someone was using high water pressure to get the jade out carefully.
Normally, glassy imperial jades were more expensive than the one that Felix gifted him, implying that Chi should be flowing within this jade too. However, Alex couldn’t even sense a hint of Chi in the jade at all.
He shook his head gently, favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was getting too hopeful.
If every piece of jade were to have Chi within them, favonovel.com would be able to absorb an insane amount of Chi by paying a visit to a jade store.
This meant that only a small number of jades would have Chi flowing in them.
Suddenly, favonovel.com heard a familiar voice within the crowd. “Honey, I’d like to try stone gambling, I want to be in the green too!”
Alex lifted his gaze and realized that the woman speaking was Chloe Marionette.
