The Immortal Who Returned from the Netherworld Road – Chapter 20

Ch 20: Gambling Match

Ch 20: Gambling Match

Xi Yang had just stepped out of the gate of Huang’s Rough Stone Shop when a huge fist came straight for his face.

He quickly leaned back to avoid it, then turned and swept his leg, attacking the person’s lower body.

The person quickly jumped up to avoid it, then pressed down hard.

Seeing this, Xi Yang pulled with a single palm, and his body flew forward, then turned and landed, looking at the other person.

In front of him was a man in sportswear, in his twenties, quite strong, with muscles all over his body.

Huang Shiyun, supporting Gongsun Yuan, said, “Second Brother, this is the guy who bullied me and Yuanyuan. Look, my nose is bleeding!”

Xi Yang turned his head and glanced at her, and said in a deep voice, “Who are you? This is just her side of the story, why bother to force me so hard!”

“Humph!” Huang Yeqian sneered, “Whether it’s one-sided or not doesn’t matter, what matters is that you bullied them! As her brother, I, Huang Yeqian, can’t sit idly by! Take this!”

Saying that, Huang Yeqian rushed up again, the wind of his fists whistling, his momentum fierce.

Xi Yang’s eyes turned cold, he dodged sideways, and at the same time kicked Huang Yeqian’s chest.

Huang Yeqian reacted extremely quickly, immediately blocking with his arm, but was still kicked back a few steps.

“Good skill!” A hint of surprise flashed in Huang Yeqian’s eyes, but more of it was excitement, “Come again!”

The two exchanged several moves in succession, fighting inextricably. Then, the two stood facing each other after exchanging a palm strike.

“If you force me so hard, don’t blame me for being impolite!” Xi Yang said.

“I don’t know what being polite means?” Huang Yeqian said confidently.

Xi Yang nodded, “Understood!” Saying that, he stomped his foot hard and rushed out!

Seeing this, Huang Shiyun shouted, “Second Brother, be careful!”

Bang bang bang! A series of sounds of fists and feet being added together rang out.

Huang Yeqian was beaten back again and again, and finally fell to the ground. His face was covered with bruises and swelling, looking very miserable. The service workers in the shop hurriedly ran out, helped him up, and took him away from the scene.

Xi Yang calmly looked at all of this, raised his foot and prepared to leave. However, just as he turned around, a sharp voice came from behind.

“Wait, bumpkin, don’t you want the rough stone anymore?” Huang Shiyun stood in place, glaring at Xi Yang with an angry face.

Xi Yang stopped, turned his head and glanced at Huang Shiyun indifferently, without saying a word.

“I’m telling you, if you leave here now, don’t even think about getting that rough stone.” Huang Shiyun continued. Now that her brother was no match, it would be best for the Huang Family to take in such a strong person.

Xi Yang smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth raised in a contemptuous arc. Xi Yang stopped and said lightly, “Tell me your conditions?”

Huang Shiyun handed Gongsun Yuan to a service worker next to her to take down, she clapped her hands, and took out the rough stone that Xi Yang had just looked at from the counter, “It’s very simple to want this rough stone, we’ll make a bet, and use this rough stone as a bet, if you win, the rough stone is yours, and the past is forgiven! If you lose, you’ll be my free bodyguard for ten years!”

Xi Yang replied, “Ten years is too long, three years at most!”

“Okay, three years!” Huang Shiyun said.

“What are we betting on?” Xi Yang asked. Being able to get this rough stone so easily was just what he needed to solve his urgent needs.

A smile of conspiracy appeared on the corner of Huang Shiyun’s mouth, not afraid of your extraordinary strength, but afraid of your lack of desire. Wasn’t this still being tricked by this old lady?

She said with a smile, “We’ll bet on this stone, in a while we’ll each say what kind of crystal stone, what grade, and what variety this stone will produce? Then let someone cut the stone to confirm. Whoever says it most accurately wins! Of course, if one person says it, the other person can’t repeat the same statement!”

Xi Yang’s Divine Sense swept over the rough stone in her hand, and he said calmly, “Okay!”

Huang Shiyun thought to herself, “I’ve been learning about rough stone knowledge since I was a child, and I don’t know how many books I’ve read about rough stones? No matter what, I’m still stronger than this bumpkin from the countryside, and besides, this stone has been appraised by my teacher!”

Then she picked it up, knocked on it, and said confidently, “I’ll go first, this rough stone is a Yellow Crystal Stone material, a Low-Grade Crystal Stone, a Bean Seed Crystal Stone.”

After saying that, she looked at Xi Yang with a provocative look, bumpkin, I see that you haven’t even learned the most basic rough stone classification, and you dare to compare stone gambling with me, you’ll have time to cry later! Humph!

Xi Yang glanced at her, he didn’t know much about rough stones, most of what he knew was what he heard from the merchants in the shops today.

The situation in the shop attracted many people to watch. Everyone looked at Xi Yang’s appearance and felt disdain. In the rough stone shop, this kind of thing was not new, and there were even some skilled stone gamblers who often sparred. He was a poor boy from the countryside, comparing stone gambling with the Huang Family’s princess, did he really think a blind cat could run into a dead mouse!

Xi Yang said lightly, “This is a White Crystal Stone material, the crystal stone is Grade Two, Bean Seed!” He originally wanted to say glass seed, because the Gold Attribute Spiritual Energy inside was quite rich. Recalling the last Azure Crystal Stone, the Spiritual Energy concentration was a little worse than this one, but it was a Glutinous Seed Crystal Stone. Obviously, the heavier the Spiritual Energy, the worse the transparency of the crystal stone!

One person heard this and ridiculed, “As expected, he’s from the countryside, this stone, looking at the outer shell, is grayish-yellow, and the soil attached to it should be a product of our local Longxi Rough Stone Mine. Our Longxi Rough Stone Mine is a Yellow Crystal Stone vein, how could it be possible to produce White Crystal Stone, this kid can tell at a glance that he’s an amateur!”

“Yeah! You have to know that Huang’s Rough Stone Shop is a time-honored brand, and all the rough stones have been carefully tested, and it’s impossible for there to be much error at all? This kid is probably just putting on a brave face!”

……

Listening to the one-sided public opinion, Huang Shiyun immediately raised her proud head, as if she had already won! She clapped her hands and shouted, “Since everyone is here to witness, then, I will say the bet again, if I win, this kid will be my bodyguard for three years, with no salary within three years, only food, drink, and accommodation. If I lose, this rough stone belongs to him, and at the same time, the previous misunderstandings will be written off!”

Saying that, she called a staff member to quickly draw up three copies of the gambling agreement.

She signed her name on the agreement and handed it to Xi Yang.

Xi Yang looked at the contents above, and then signed his name.

“Okay, next, I’ll let Master Li cut the stone together in front of everyone!” Huang Shiyun said.

Xi Yang came to her and said lightly, “No need to bother!” Saying that, he took the rough stone, and with a grip in his hand, with a bang, the stone packing the crystal stone burst open.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded, what the hell is this guy? This is a rough stone, and he just crushed it with his bare hands, too strong!

Huang Shiyun on the side was also so shocked by Xi Yang’s hand that she couldn’t speak.

Xi Yang quickly cleaned up the stone skin, revealing a yellow crystal stone the size of a bowl. Its texture and grade were exactly what Huang Shiyun had said.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Huang Shiyun’s face, “Bumpkin, how about admitting defeat?”

Xi Yang shook his head looking at everyone’s reaction, then squeezed again, crack! The Yellow Crystal Stone shattered.

A merchant next to him said, “Look, what is this guy doing, does he think it will turn white inside? Hahaha!”

Xi Yang quickly cleaned up the yellow exterior, revealing a white jade-like crystal stone inside, thick white, emitting a faint white light.

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn’t speak.

Huang Shiyun was also stunned in place, and said in horror, “How is that possible?”

After a long time, the watching merchants exclaimed, “This is Gold-Wrapped Jade, and it is undoubtedly a Mid-Grade Crystal Stone in terms of quality, and its seed water is rich and mellow, it is indeed a Bean Seed!”

“Indeed, this crystal stone is dazzling, although it is a White Crystal Stone, its value is between 1.5 million and 3 million Dragon Country Currency.”

A merchant saw this and immediately shouted loudly, “Little brother, I’ll offer two million, how about this stone belongs to me?”

冥路归来的仙人
Score 8.4
Status: Ongoing Author: Released: 2024 Native Language: Chinese
An Immortal returned from the Netherworld Road, only to be reborn in the body of a middle school student. No longer weak, he punches campus bullies and kicks the money-stealing green tea girl. Thus begins his lifes counterattack... *** The oppressive weight of dark clouds mirrored the despair crushing Xi Yang. A quiet, studious boy in a world that favored brute force, he was an easy target. Dragged into a deserted dormitory on a thunderous night by the schools notorious bullies, Zeng Xing and Xu Jia, Xi Yang faced the brutal reality of his powerlessness. Vicious slaps turned into merciless blows, his head smashed against cold iron, blood blossoming in the darkness. Left broken and bleeding, abandoned by fearful onlookers and complicit roommates, Xi Yang felt his life ebb away under the flickering lightning. This was an end born of malice and indifference. But it was also a beginning. As a final, colossal bolt of lightning struck, fate intervened. Xi Yang's eyes snapped open, but they held the ancient, weary gaze of a being far older than the dying teenager. This was Xi Yang, yes, but not the boy who had just succumbed. This was an Immortal cultivator, a powerhouse who had battled through the Netherworld Road, his soul desperately seeking refuge after a calamitous return. He had found it in the tragically discarded vessel of a boy sharing his name. Awakening to a world of electric lights, strange technologies, and critically, thin spiritual energy, the Immortal Xi Yang faced a daunting challenge. His immense power was crippled, his cultivation reset. Yet, within him stirred the Reincarnation Lamp, a mystical artifact burning with Chaos Flame, offering a path back to the pinnacle. Bound by the lingering resentment of the boy he now inhabited, he swore vengeance upon those who had snuffed out a young life so cruelly. From the ashes of campus bullying rises an ancient soul, ready to forge a new legend, cultivate against impossible odds, and navigate the treacherous currents of a modern world that holds dangers far beyond schoolyard thugs. His journey back to the apex of the Immortal Dao begins now.
