"You sure you want to cut this, brother? It will cost 100 Yuan."
The man responsible for the stone-cutting service smiled faintly.
While looking at Yayoi's two unremarkable stones, he didn't have high hope. It was clear that these two stones are of the worst kinds and the chances of anything good to be inside are extremely low.
"Gosh, why are you talking so much? What I do is my problem. I already paid the fee. Just cut it open from the middle. Never mind 100 Yuan, you are wasting my time here." Yayoi said impatiently.
Among the crowd, a white-haired old man heard Yayoi's words and sneered, "If you think it's so easy to win in stone gambling, then I don't know what to tell you, but you are stupid and a dumbass!"
"Betting on ores isn't as easy as you think, lad. Look at the ragged clothes you are wearing. Don't waste your hundred Yuan and go buy yourself a bowl of beef noodle instead, or you might starve to death."
After the old man said that, he immediately got into a staring contest with Yayoi proudly while she cursed him.
The others who agreed with him also chimed in to taunt her.
"Mind your own business! You dumb senile withered old expired pickle!" In no time, Yayoi's temper flared like a torch. "Don't you have anything better to do with your time!?"
She felt like she was about to go crazy. All she wants is to cut her stones open and sell them for some money. Why do these random suckers care so much?
Like seriously, ten minutes of constant mocking and insults from a bunch of random extras, it's a freaking nightmare!
Frankly, if it were not for the thousands of people here in broad daylight, Yayoi would have smashed these annoying bastards' skulls with her F-grade power level grading.
"Cut the f*cking stones. You head ass!"
With a ferocious glare, Yayoi harrumphed with gritted teeth while looking at the stone-cutting staffer like a piece of dead meat, "What are you dawdling for! For real this time! Do you want to test my patience!? Uh-huh, that's the face, you little bitch! Be careful cuz my tolerance for your dumb shit's running out!"
The staffer gulped his dry throat and quickly did as he was told and didn't dare say anything else. Yayoi's glare was like that of a ravenous beast coming from the depth of hell.
With an F-grade level grading, Yayoi couldn't be regarded as an ordinary human anymore.
The intimidation of a superior being!
It was startling!
...
"Impossible! How could it be green..."
Everyone's face changed.
After the stone was cut open, someone muttered among the bunch of extras with a trembling voice. The others were also dumbfounded, with eyes popping out of their sockets.
"No way... it's sparkling emerald green under the sunlight! A top-grade Jadite! While the other is ordinary jade! Look at that size. The Jadite should weigh no less than a few carats. This lucky bastard!"
"Garh damn it! I knew those two stones were something when I first looked at them. I should have bought them earlier. What a shame I was one step too late."
"No way, how could this be?" The annoying old man's jaw dropped, shocked as his fake upper dentures fell to the ground. While looking at the Jadite in front of his eyes, he breathes heavily.
It was the same for everyone present as nephrite jade was already rare, and top-grade Jadite is high-end stuff that had never appeared in this town market before.
This piece of Jadite alone in front of them is estimated to be ten to twenty-something million. How could they not salivate like hungry dogs with red eyes? Although the Jadite didn't belong to them, it didn't stop them from feeling excited.
"Alright, shut the f*ck up, all of you." While everyone was still clamoring, Yayoi grabbed the two pieces of jades and raised them high. She shouted, "I'm selling here. Freshly cut! If your offer is right, I'm willing to sell it on the spot, no question asked."
"Lad, how about you sell it to me? 15 Million RMB. What do you think?"
Seeing that Yayoi had the intention to sell and how poorly dressed she was, the white-haired old man earlier stated his offer proudly.
Having heard what he said, Yayoi gave him another mindful look but didn't reply immediately. The old man dresses in a traditional Chinese robe and has the air of a wealthy person. Although she doesn't know the exact price for the Jadite, his offer sounds about right. However, she continued to advertise for maximum benefit and waited for others to bid.

Meanwhile,
Xinyang hospital—
"What? He already got a discharge from the doctor this morning?"
Lin Jiangfeng listened to the nurse with a puzzled expression and asked, "But isn't his injuries were very severe yesterday? How could the doctor let him leave in that condition?"
"Well, I'm not too sure of the details, but patient Xuan Yu's wounds seem to have healed."
"Is that so..." After Lin Jiangfeng muttered under his breath, he left the hospital in deep thought.
'Although I don't know how his serious wounds had healed so quickly... but since he is fine, it wouldn't matter anymore. I will make some time to visit him later. Now, the most important thing is to step into the Body Refining Realm and breakthrough to Qi Condensation.'
'For thousands of years, among the countless regrets, being able to save him in this life, one of the knots in my heart has untangled.'
"This feeling is wonderful!"
Lin Jiangfeng was a man of principle and would repay kindness where it's due.
In his previous life, before Lin Jiangfeng transmigrated to the cultivation world, his best friend Xuan Yu has shielded him from Linbao and the goons until he got beaten to death, and even Lin Jiangfeng himself got crippled.
After years of living a life worse than death, Lin Jiangfeng transmigrated to the cultivation world by chance and became a revered Immortal after ten thousand years of steadfast cultivation. However, despite his dazzling achievements, Lin Jiangfeng has countless regrets and ultimately failed in his last tribulation and was obliterated because of his malicious heart demon.
Lin Jiangfeng believes that in this life because he has traveled back in time, Xuan Yu's fate has changed. Thus, although Lin Jiangfeng didn't know how it happened, he was determined to return the favor to Xuan Yu.
'I have returned! With the experiences of my previous life as the Immortal of Jiangfeng. This time, I will build the absolute foundation of every stage to its finest and ascend to the heavenly realm once again!'
'And those who have wronged me... they will pay it in blood.'
