I Cultivate Passively

Chapter 161: Like a Clown

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just this piece of waste rock naturally wouldn’t attract too much attention.

After all, most of the people present could afford to gamble on rocks, and they all had quite a bit of wealth.

They had seen rocks of better quality being cut before.

But if they added the Young Master of the Wang Clan’s wager, it would be different.

Although it was basically impossible to cut anything out of this rock, what if? If it really came out, would Wang Shu keep his promise and swallow feces on the spot.

“Crack!”

The old master who was responsible for cutting the stone was very experienced. He first cut along the outer layer slowly.

Then, he slowly went deeper.

When the outer layer of the stone slowly fell off, the surrounding water vapor suddenly increased.

“It came out? It can’t be!”

“What a coincidence! It had this kind of stone inside!?”

“It seems to be real!”

“…”

Such a sudden change shocked everyone because there was really something in this stone!

The people next to them were dumbfounded.

The probability of this was too low. They didn’t expect that they would run into it this time.

“Impossible! How can this broken stone have something!?”

Wang Shu was the one who couldn’t accept it the most. His face and neck were all red.

His eyes were staring at the stone in front of him.

“This is… a Hive Stone!?”

A stone full of apertures was displayed in front of everyone’s eyes.

The old master responsible for cutting the stone immediately recognized it.

This was a Hive Stone.

“It seems to be a Hive Stone!”

Zhou Feng immediately shifted his gaze to this Hive Stone.

Immediately, the Appraising Eye began to work.

[Hive Stone: A unique stone that can continuously gather the surrounding water vapor and then discharge various types of spring water from the many apertures.]

‘This doesn’t seem to be of much use, right?’

Seeing this description, Zhou Feng frowned slightly. This Hive Stone seemed to be just like that. There was nothing special about it.

“Hive Stone? Is it really a Hive Stone?”

“He’s rich! He has struck it rich!”

“Haven’t the Southern Sea Dragons been collecting Hive Stones recently? The Dragon Clan doesn’t lack money at all!”

“…”

After hearing that there was actually a Hive Stone among this broken stone, the surrounding people instantly cried out in surprise.

This Hive Stone had only been a little strange before and hadn’t been very valuable.

But recently, the Southern Sea Dragons had been purchasing this stone, and each stone was worth at least 10,000 Spirit Stones.

There was no other way! The Southern Sea Dragons occupied the entire Southern Sea, and all they had to do was cough out money.

Zhou Feng seemed to have only used a few hundred Spirit Stones to buy this stone, and with just a flip of the hand, he had exchanged it for 10,000 Spirit Stones. He would even be able to build a relationship with the Dragon Clan.

This was simply a huge profit!

The most important thing was that Zhou Feng had not paid a steep price. He had just randomly picked a stone.

What was called getting rich overnight? This was getting rich overnight!

“10,000 Spirit Stones?”

Zhou Feng did not expect that this Hive Stone was actually so valuable.

If that were the case, he seemed to have the starting capital to purchase a cauldron and medicinal ingredients.

Although he wanted to refine pills and earn Spirit Stones, he still needed to earn some starting capital.

Now, this stone seemed to be enough.

“Impossible! This is impossible!”

Wang Shu simply did not believe everything that was happening before his eyes. This kind of thing was practically impossible.a

Why did it have to happen?

What frightened Wang Shu the most was that he knew that Li Rong was currently watching from the second floor.

If Zhou Feng took this opportunity to make him fulfill his promise…

Then…

Just thinking about it made Wang Shu want to immediately find a place to drill a hole and dive into it.

“So powerful! He actually cut something out directly!”

Li Rong’s face was full of admiration at this time.

“It’s a little strange! It doesn’t seem like it’s all luck. This kid has been full of confidence since the beginning!”

Li Manya continued to stare at Zhou Feng. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this person was strange.

His aura was clearly chaotic, but it still gave her a sense of danger.

“10,000 Spirit Stones?”

“He’s really lucky!”

“…”

When they heard that this Hive Stone was worth 10,000 Spirit Stones, many people’s eyes turned red.

Sensing that the atmosphere didn’t feel right, Zhou Feng immediately put away the Hive Stone.

Originally, he wanted to look at the stones around him with his Appraising Eye and cut a few more stones.

However, he decided to discard this idea after this sudden turn of events. If he continued to cut the stones with his Appraising Eye, it would be easy for others to be jealous.

He was not strong enough, so he had to keep a low profile.

“Where can I sell the stone?” Zhou Feng asked calmly.

The old master who cut the stone was stunned when he heard Zhou Feng’s question. Then, he gave a simple answer, “Someone from the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion in the inner city will buy it from you! And the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion seems to be holding an auction recently!”

“Thank you!”

After receiving the answer, Zhou Feng simply thanked him.

Then, he slowly turned around and left without saying anything.

The whole process was as if he had waved his sleeves and didn’t take a single cloud away.

His expression didn’t change much, not even when he found out that this Hive Stone was worth 10,000 Spirit Stones.

Firstly, Zhou Feng really didn’t feel much toward Spirit Stones. After all, he had had a mountain of Spirit Stones in his storage ring before.

Secondly, he was used to the currency of his previous life, so the value of Spirit Stones wasn’t too deep.

As long as he had enough, he would be fine. Now that Zhou Feng wasn’t pressured, he felt that he was a lot more carefree.

As for Wang Shu’s words, he had never looked him in the eye from the beginning to the end.

He had no intention of letting Wang Shu commit suicide by swallowing feces on the spot.

This was because it was almost impossible for Wang Shu to do this. If he forced Wang Shu to commit suicide by swallowing feces, at most, it would escalate the conflict between the two parties.

Therefore, there was no need to pay attention to Wang Shu.

However, if Wang Shu continued to jump around in front of him, he would choose to take action directly.

He would not compare himself to others. Taking action directly was his personality.

In any case, he did not want to say any nonsense.

And it was precisely because of this that he had not looked at Wang Shu from the beginning to the end.

Zhou Feng’s attitude actually made Wang Shu extremely embarrassed.

‘What is the meaning of this? Is he completely disregarding me?’

When Wang Shu saw that Zhou Feng was treating him with disregard, his heart was set ablaze.

But just as Wang Shu was about to stop Zhou Feng… a wave of killing intent appeared once again.

That deep-seated killing intent caused Wang Shu to freeze on the spot.

‘Does he dare to make a move here?’

The dark fire in Wang Shu’s heart was extinguished in an instant. By the time he came back to his senses, Zhou Feng had already walked far away.

The people around him also looked at Wang Shu with strange gazes.

At that moment, Wang Shu inexplicably felt that he was a joke.

Compared to the calm and carefree Zhou Feng, Wang Shu, who had been jumping up and down to attract attention, was really a clown.

Li Rong completely took in the scene just now.

Her already unfavorable impression of Wang Shu dropped to the freezing point in an instant. At the same time, in comparison, her favorable impression of Zhou Feng rose sharply.

After all, the gap between the two sides had been too obvious in their performance just now.
