Chapter 618: Green Dragon Out at Sea

All of them were familiar with Yu Ding Xuan except for Ling Yun. Staff from Yu Ding Xuan flocked up to the group once they saw them approaching.

“Hey, Elder Murong, President Song, you’re finally here. My boss and Boss Han would have carried the sedan to get you here. They’re waiting for you in the backyard.”

Song Zhengyang laughed dryly. “Hehe, it seems like there are many strange stones indeed. Lord of Jade and Han Laosan are so excited!”

The Lord of Jade was the boss of Yu Ding Xuan. His one true love in his life was jade, jewels, and the appreciation of stones. This business was passed down to him; he was, therefore, known as “Lord Jade”.

Han Laosan was the boss of the House of Strange Stones. He was very close to the Lord of Jade. Han Laosan was responsible for the sourcing of the raw jades, while the Lord of Jade was responsible for its sales. He would also wait until they cut the jade out and put it in his store to sell directly.

Their status was similar to that of Song Zhengyang and Murong Wenshi. They were the president or directors of the Antiques Association. Everyone knew each other.

Song Zhengyang didn’t need the staff to bring him to the courtyard he was already so familiar with. Song Zhengyang had already taken the string of Buddhist beads off his left wrist and carried it in his hand. He had the wind in his step and exuded an extraordinary temperament.

Yu Ding Xuan had a huge storefront of two thousand square meters. That was only the storefront, not the backyard.

The four of them quickly went through the storefront and crossed a door. It was another world in the courtyard.

The size itself was astonishing. It was more than a hundred meters long and about seventy meters wide, which made it about seven thousand square meters. It was like a huge vegetable market inside, except there were no vegetables, only oddly shaped stones from all over the world.

It housed not only jades but also stones of other varieties in a huge corner. Some were in the shape of humans, animals, trees, etc. It was a corner for stone collectors, ornamental stones for viewing pleasure.

“Wow! This is really a house of strange stones!”

It was a sea of stones that piled up like a mountain. People had to go around the pile to see what was behind it.

The range of Ling Yun’s divine sense would only cover about one-tenth of the entire courtyard for now. It was difficult for him to get the whole picture.

It seemed like Song Zhengyang wanted to shock Ling Yun deliberately. He didn’t introduce Ling Yun to anything and let Ling Yun roam freely.

There was a variety of spiritual energy, but it was very rich. Ling Yun couldn’t help but be surprised. It seemed like at least seventy percent of the spiritual energy from Mansion Number One came from Yu Ding Xuan!

More people appeared as they moved forward. Song Zhengyang slowed down his steps, allowing Ling Yun to detect a huge piece of empty space with his divine sense. It seemed like the stone gambling event would be held here today.

It was a space of about five or six hundred square meters, which was sizable as well. Many people were there, of course, likely gambling freaks themselves.

There was less spiritual energy here because there were no stones within the six hundred square meters. However, Ling Yun opened up his pores to suck up the rich spiritual energy from the surrounding stones nonetheless.

“So many truckloads of stones…”

There were two gates about ten meters wide in the courtyard for the trucks to enter. There were even two large cranes to load and unload the stones.

“Elder Murong, President Song, you’re finally here. We were worried that you wouldn’t come!”

Ling Yun and his gang of four were greeted by a dozen people led by two people. One was tall and burly. He was white and fat, like the God of Fortune. The other was thin and small. He had dark skin, which formed a huge contrast alongside the white fatty.

“Ling Yun, let me introduce you…”

Song Zhengyang pointed at the tall, burly guy. “This is the boss of Yu Ding Xuan, Yu Shengjin. People call him the Lord of Jade.”

“And this here is the boss of the House of Strange Stones, Han Jingtong. We call him Han Laosan.”

Song Zhengyang did the same for Ling Yun to the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan to let them know each other.

The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan seemed to be used to Song Zhengyang bringing people around, so they greeted Ling Yun politely and said no more.

“Where are the new stones?” Song Zhengyang asked.

“Over there. There are some very good ones, Brother Song, do you want to pick a few and be the dealer?” Han Laosan pointed.

Song Zhengyang glanced where he pointed, and his eyes lit up immediately. “Um, there is some good stuff indeed…”

Ling Yun wasn’t interested. He was here not to buy jade but to find spirit stones. He focused on where the spiritual energy was at its highest.

A huge cyan stone stood out from the rest.

This cyan stone was at the center of the yard, it’s placing definitely determined by Fengshui. It was too large, eight meters tall and more than three meters wide. It got thinner as it got higher. It also had an irregular cylindrical shape. There were nine curves towards the sky.

The topmost part of the stone was in the shape of a dragon head. It was life-like, eye-catching, and unforgettable.

“That is the treasure of Yu Ding Xuan. It’s called Green Dragon Out at Sea. The Lord of Jade spent two hundred million yuan for it!”

No one missed this Green Dragon Out at Sea when they came to the stone gambling event. Murong Feixue couldn’t help but introduce it to Ling Yun upon seeing how he was fascinated by it.

“The Lord of Jade must have really liked it…” Ling Yun stared at the Green Dragon Out at Sea unblinkingly. He felt a mysterious pull towards this huge stone.

Ling Yun could detect no spiritual energy flowing out from this stone through the use of his divine sense and the Yin-Yang Eye. He was still attracted to it nonetheless. The feeling was pretty amazing.

“Ling Yun, you don’t know about gambling stones. Many people studied this huge boulder, including the masters from the Beijing Panjiayuan Antique Market. This is just an ordinary boulder with a unique shape. No jade is going to come out from it…”

Murong Feixue knew a lot about Yu Ding Xuan apparently. She explained, wanting more opportunities to talk to Ling Yun.

“Big Sister Feixue, do you know where this stone came from?”

Ling Yun didn’t give a hoot if there was any jade inside or not. It would be less desirable to Ling Yun if it really had jade. Only treasures that couldn’t be bought with money were considered treasures to Ling Yun.

“Yes, this Green Dragon Out at Sea was said to be found on Penglai Island in the East Sea. Someone used a hefty sum of money to bring it from the island and auctioned it. It’s price went up further after it changed hands. It was bought by the Lord of Jade eventually for ornamental purposes. He believes that this Green Dragon Out at Sea brings him good luck.”

Penglai Island in the East Sea? Ling Yun’s heart skipped a beat. He made a mark on this place when he was studying geography.

It was the source of many stories of immortals. That was why Ling Yun was interested in it.

“Big Brother Yun, what are you two doing? The stone gambling event is about to start, those two idiots are here too…”

Tang Meng arrived at Yu Ding Xuan earlier than them. He couldn’t help but nudge Murong Feixue and Ling Yun to the stone gambling event, afraid that Ling Yun would miss the excitement.

The two guys that Tang Meng mentioned were Zhu Yongwang and Hou Yaozong. They were depressed after they were humiliated by Ling Yun and were at the Tianxi Pavilion looking for thrills.

Ling Yun pointed his chin at the huge boulder. “I’m looking at the Green Dragon Out at Sea.”

The more he looked, the most impressed he felt with the stone. He could even feel the majestic nature of the Green Dragon on the rock.

“You two go ahead, I want to look at that stone!” Ling Yun said to Tang Meng and Feixue and went ahead to that stone.

Murong Feixue snorted, unhappy that Ling Yun threw her aside casually.

There’s so much more for you to adapt to, my dear. You don’t know how many goddesses Big Brother Yun has around him yet! Tang Meng snickered to himself.

“I hope it’s not an illusion…”

Ling Yun wouldn’t hesitate to obtain it if it was something good.

Ling Yun walked to the stone and studied it carefully, looking up occasionally at the vivid dragon head.

Strange, what happened to the feeling I had just now? Was it all my imagination? Ling Yun pondered and raised his hand to touch the stone.

The surface of the stone was smooth. Obviously, everyone who walked past it couldn’t resist touching it.

No reaction still.

“Let me try something then!” Ling Yun muttered. He took out the mysterious gourd sneakily and dripped two drops of the dragon saliva on his hand.

He touched the huge cyan stone again.

This time, something amazing happened!
