I Become Invincible By Signing In - Chapter 148:
Chapter 148: The Forbidden Stone
When everyone heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched. They all knew that Wang Yi had a grudge against Venerable Lie Kong, but he couldn’t lie like this either.
It had to be said that Venerable Lie Kong was quite generous to give such a treasure.
The Dark Blood Heavenly Gold might be useless to Venerables, but it was fatally tempting to experts in the nine-rank system. This was definitely a priceless treasure.
If the Dark Blood Heavenly Gold was considered trash, then other than some Connate-level supreme materials, there was probably nothing precious in this world.
Wang Yi seemed to know what everyone was thinking. He was also a little angry.
With a slight vibration of his spiritual power, the Body Dagger directly entered the system space. Then, it cut off a corner of the black stone mountain he had obtained from the swamp along with the ancient tea tree.
Although it was only a corner, it was more than a hundred times larger than the piece of Dark Blood Heavenly Gold from before.
Wang Yi held it in his palm and casually threw it to Wu Shuang. He said in the same words as Venerable Lie Kong, “You will definitely be treated well if you run errands for me. This will be your reward.”
Wu Shuang was a little stunned. When she saw Wang Yi throw something over, she did not see what it was. Instead, she subconsciously reached out to catch it.
Crack!
The item had only just entered her hand when Wu Shuang’s body staggered forward. She looked at him in confusion and disbelief.
Then, the piece of the black stone mountain instantly left her hands and shattered the floor of the hall.
There was a sudden silence in the hall, broken only by heavy, rapid breathing.
Everyone looked at the black stone mountain fragment that had completely sunk into the ground. Their gazes became like that of Wu Shuang, confused and in disbelief.
How heavy must this thing be?
One had to know that Wu Shuang was a top grandmaster whose physical strength had undergone a qualitative change. Her physical strength was terrifyingly powerful.
Moving mountains and filling the sea was not difficult for her at all. However, even such a strong expert like her could not catch it.
It was obvious how heavy the black stone mountain fragment was.
Looking at the confusion in everyone’s eyes, they obviously did not recognize this black stone mountain fragment either. However, they were certain that this was definitely a treasure.
Moreover, according to Wang Yi’s words just now, it was very likely to be a rare treasure that was not inferior to the Dark Blood Heavenly Gold.
“Eh!”
At this moment, Venerable Ning Jing suddenly exclaimed softly and reached out to take the black stone mountain fragment into her hand. Then, she carefully observed it.
During this process, Venerable Ning Jing would occasionally inject her true qi or spiritual power into it, as if she was verifying something.
As various powers were poured in, the black stone mountain fragment also emitted different auras.
Its aura was either as heavy as a divine mountain, as violent as lightning, or as deep as an abyss.
Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the black stone mountain fragment that was constantly changing, including Wang Yi.
To put it bluntly, Wang Yi was simply stronger.
In terms of pure knowledge, unless it was in the aspect of food, Wang Yi could not match up to them at all.
After all, Wang Yi’s knowledge came from the Spiritual Food Catalog, which was just a collection of recipes.
Therefore, it was completely reasonable that Wang Yi could not recognize the black stone mountain.
However, Venerable Ning Jing seemed to have recognized what the black stone mountain fragment was. She glanced at the people staring at her.
Then, she handed the black stone mountain fragment in his hand to Wu Shuang and said with a smile, “Wu Shuang, hurry up and thank Fellow Daoist Wang.”
“You’re really lucky today. You’re actually lucky enough to receive such a precious treasure from Fellow Daoist Wang.”
And with that.
Venerable Ning Jing looked at Wang Yi and said with a smile, “I’ve made Fellow Daoist Wang spend so much money.”
“Fellow Daoist is right. Compared to you, Venerable Lie Kong is indeed a little petty and has embarrassed all the Venerables.”
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Wu Shuang with unconcealable envy in their eyes.
Wu Shuang immediately looked excited. She bowed respectfully to Wang Yi and said, “Thank you for the treasure!”
Although Venerable Ning Jing had yet to explain what kind of treasure this black stone mountain fragment was, how could it be simple? After all, an invincible Venerable had called it a treasure!
Wang Yi waved his hand indifferently, indicating that there was no need to be so polite. After all, he had plenty of such things.
Compared to the entire black stone mountain, this fragment in front of him was nothing. It was probably not even a drop in the ocean to him.
Then, Wang Yi looked at Venerable Ning Jing and said with a smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, don’t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me what this is.”
Venerable Ning Jing was a little surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Wang, don’t you know what this is?”
Wang Yi nodded and said matter-of-factly, “I don’t know.”
At this moment, Venerable Ning Jing felt as if a flock of crows was flying over her head. Black lines slid down her forehead1.
She couldn’t figure out how Wang Yi could speak so confidently when he didn’t understand anything. She could only say helplessly, “It’s no wonder Fellow Daoist Wang was willing to give such a precious treasure to Wu Shuang.”
“Before I say anything, why don’t you take this item back and exchange it for another treasure? After all, this is too precious.”
As soon as Venerable Ning Jing finished speaking…
Wu Shuang did not hesitate at all. She held the black stone mountain fragment in her hand and walked up to Wang Yi. Then, she bowed and said, “Please take it back.”
Wang Yi waved his hand helplessly and said indifferently, “Just accept it in peace. There’s no reason for me to take back what I’ve given you.”
After saying that, Wang Yi looked at Venerable Ning Jing again and said with a bitter smile, “Fellow Daoist Ning Jing, don’t tease me like this.”
“This thing was obtained by chance. I’m also very curious about what it is. Fellow Daoist, quickly tell me.”
Since Wang Yi had already said this much, Venerable Ning Jing did not insist. She smiled and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Fellow Daoist Wang.”
Then, she pointed at the black stone mountain fragment in Wu Shuang’s hand and continued, “This thing is called the ‘Forbidden Stone.’ It can only be nurtured in the land of spirit qi tides.”
“Because it has been baptized by the tides all year round, it has a special ability to increase one’s strength and weaken enemy attacks.”
“This increase in strength will be different according to the quality of the Forbidden Stone. The ratio of increment and decrement will also be different.”
“However, even the worst-quality Forbidden Stone can probably increase one’s strength or decrease the strength of enemy attacks by 10%. If the quality is good enough, it won’t be a problem for this number to go beyond 70%.”
“The quality of this ‘Forbidden Stone’ in front of me is so high that it’s unimaginable. I’m afraid that the terrifying amplification and weakening ratio is at least 70%, or even more.”
Hiss!
In an instant, there was a series of gasps in the hall.
