Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Reencountering Luo Ning, the Green Jade Warehouse
"Aargh!"
Sikong Jing couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, then, gritting his teeth, he accepted the method of circulating the demonic power.
His strong will forced him to persevere through the pain.
Just then, a cold voice reached his ears, "Sikong Jing, if you stay any longer, you’ll be vibrated to death by the demon beast. Please, go ahead."
The speaker was none other than Leng Huo, the Lord of Yunzhou, who had appeared without anyone noticing.
What had just happened between Sikong Jing and the demon beast was known only to Sikong Jing himself.
Although the Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts was boiling, it did not mean that True Qi was revealed.
Therefore, when Leng Huo saw Sikong Jing vomiting blood, he thought it was because the Transcendent Demon Beast’s spiritual power had overwhelmed him.
Sikong Jing slowly raised his head, gazed deeply at the thousands of demon beasts once more, wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to leave.
Watching Sikong Jing stagger away, Leng Huo sneered repeatedly, "What a waste, scared to the point of vomiting blood by mere thousands of demon beasts. Is this the once Invincible God General?"
At that moment, an Old Eunuch who had come with Yan Ruyu said, "Heh, maybe he’s so angry that he’s vomiting blood. The Ninth Princess has planned to feed Sikong Jing’s million personal soldiers to the demon beasts when Yuwen Guan returns triumphantly."
Leng Huo’s eyes lit up, also looking forward to such a scene, and asked the Old Eunuch, "Manager Nian, should we have someone keep an eye on him?"
"No need, could such a wretch escape from Yunzhou City?"
"Besides, he definitely won’t resign himself to the death of his million personal soldiers; he might even make some final desperate struggle."
"The Ninth Princess loves unknown and powerless challenges, haha."
Listening to the Old Eunuch, Manager Nian’s words, Leng Huo could not help but burst into laughter.
After Yuwen Guan’s triumphant return and Sikong Jing’s death by fury, it would be Leng Huo’s time to rise in rank and wealth.
After leaving the Martial Arts Arena, Sikong Jing continued to stagger along, his mind burdened with thousands of ways to circulate demonic power, which caused him great physical strain.
Even without pretending, he resembled someone who was gravely injured and dying.
"Oh, isn’t that Young Master Sikong?"
As Sikong Jing made his way, a charming female voice reached his ears.
Sikong Jing withdrew his attention and looked over.
He saw a carriage in front of him, and from the window, a head poked out—it was Luo Ning of the Luoshui Jade Line in Yunzhou City.
Suddenly, Sikong Jing asked hoarsely, "You are from the Yu Xing, do you have Green Jade Stone Plates?"
After a long pause, Luo Ning replied, "We do. How many does Young Master Sikong require?"
"Twenty thousand... no, fifty thousand pieces." Sikong Jing raised a palm.
Opening her mouth in disbelief, Luo Ning stared at Sikong Jing.
Even the lowest-quality Green Jade Stone Plates would hold considerable value if purchased in a quantity of fifty thousand, and most of all, that many would pile up like a mountain.
Such a coincidence, Sikong Jing asking for so many Green Jade Stone Plates—what did he intend to do?
But after hesitating, Luo Ning nodded and said, "Yes, where does Young Master Sikong wish to transport them?"
The transportation of fifty thousand Green Jade Stone Plates would also be a significant expense.
Shaking his head, Sikong Jing replied, "No need to transport them anywhere, just take me to your storehouse of Green Jade Stone Plates now."
After saying this, Sikong Jing did not wait for Luo Ning’s agreement, boarded her carriage, and sat down directly beside her.
Then he closed his eyes, without even giving her another glance.
Luo Ning was stunned; this was happening on a busy street, which could damage her reputation if people saw. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Luo Ning’s maid Little Huan couldn’t help but exclaim, "You rogue, what are you doing?"
As she spoke, Little Huan was about to pull Sikong Jing away...
However, in the end, she was stopped by Luo Ning, who instructed, "Forget it, Little Huan, Young Master Sikong won’t do anything to me."
Thinking of their first meeting at the station, and the slaughter in the Ru Yun Town villa, Luo Ning trusted Sikong Jing’s character. Besides, he had a wife whom he deeply loved.
But what on earth did he need so many Green Jade Stone Plates for?
With such a question in mind, Luo Ning rode the carriage, taking Sikong Jing with her to the warehouse of Luoshui Jade Line.
Upon opening it, there was stack upon stack of Green Jade Stone Plates.
Just as Luo Ning was about to ask, Sikong Jing didn’t give her the chance and directly dashed into the warehouse. He casually grabbed a stone plate and began to engrave a Martial Skill...
"Bang!"
The first Green Jade Stone Plate shattered into powder due to a failed engraving.
Sikong Jing then reached for the second one, which again ended in failure!
The maid Little Huan opened her mouth wide, staring at Sikong Jing with an expression that seemed ready to explode with anger, "Miss, he couldn’t possibly have come to our warehouse to use our Green Jade Stone Plates to practice his engraving skills, could he?"
Luo Ning was stunned too, as it indeed seemed to be the case.
"That’s not how it should be. This isn’t his home, and we don’t even know if he has any money," Little Huan added.
Luo Ning gave a wry smile, unable to make head or tail of Sikong Jing’s actions. In the end, she could only say, "Forget it, we owe him quite a bit, and the Green Jade Stone Plates are cheap anyway. It’s not like he could really engrave fifty thousand pieces."
Even if one engraved day and night without stopping, it would take a very, very long time to engrave fifty thousand pieces...
However, what happened next made them totally dumbfounded. Sikong Jing’s speed was too fast. One after another, the plates turned into powder...
In the blink of an eye, mountains of powder had formed around him.
If this continued, not only fifty thousand but even a hundred or two hundred thousand Green Jade Stone Plates wouldn’t be enough for all he wasted.
Hum!
Suddenly, a Jade Green light shone from the small mountain of powder.
Luo Ning and Little Huan in the warehouse widened their eyes, saying incredulously, "He actually succeeded."
However, Little Huan scornfully said, "Even if he succeeded, it can only be a Yellow Grade Lower Rank Martial Skill, which doesn’t cover the cost at all."
After wasting so many, to only engrave one Yellow Grade Lower Rank Green Jade Stone Plate, the Luoshui Jade Line was at a loss.
At the same time, Sikong Jing muttered to himself, "I’ve successfully sorted out the operation mode of the first Transcendent Demon Beast."
At this moment, it would be more accurate to say that Sikong Jing was sorting out the chaotic motion methods of thousands of demon beasts in his mind rather than engraving Martial Skills.
To sort out hundreds from thousands...
Although Yan Ruyu had brought thousands of Transcendent Demon Beasts, many were of the same kind.
For example, the first type that he had just completed, the Transcendent Black Ape Beast, existed in the Martial Arts Arena in the dozens.
While their methods of manipulating demonic power were the same, there were still differences, and Sikong Jing had to sort them out, choosing the strongest variant. Engraving was just a better way to remember it.
The now successfully engraved Green Jade Stone Plate was precisely based on the strongest Beast Skill core of the Transcendent Black Ape Beast.
"Next, the second type..."
Sikong Jing didn’t care whether the True Qi in his body was changing or not; he began engraving the second type of demon beast.
Still, it was bang, bang, bang... Green Jade Stone Plates continued to shatter.
As for the first successful Green Jade Stone Plate, he casually tossed it aside.
At that moment, Little Huan on the opposite side curled her lips.
"Even after succeeding once, he’s not satisfied. When exactly is he going to stop?"
"Humph, I want to see if the Yellow Grade Lower Rank he engraved can sell for a higher price," Little Huan muttered.
Having said that, Little Huan rushed over and picked up Sikong Jing’s Green Jade Stone Plate, her consciousness probing into it...
At that moment, Luo Ning called out, "Little Huan, don’t mess around. Young Master Sikong hasn’t said he won’t pay. If it gets damaged..."
Sputter...
Before Luo Ning could finish her sentence, a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed out from Little Huan.
