Chapter 110: The Stone of Wisdom

Did he remember the time wrong, or did Tales of the Unusual record the time wrong, or did he come to the wrong place?

Various thoughts swirled in his mind. Jiang Xincheng suddenly asked, “Is there only one Gesang Jewelry Store in Aji City?”

The pretty girl was stunned, then she nodded and said, “Yes, there are only a few jewelry stores in the whole Aji City. Our Gesang Jewelry Store is the largest one in Aji City.”

“Uh…” Jiang Xincheng glanced at the Gesang Jewelry Store that only had an area of a few dozen square meters. He did not comment on the pretty girl’s words, but he was not ready to give up either. “I heard from others that Gesang Jewelry Store found a top-grade Sea Pattern Stone, it was quite large, so I specially came to see it. I am quite interested in Sea Pattern Stones. Do you really not have such a large Sea Pattern Stone here?”

According to Tales of the Unusual, the prototype of the Stone of Wisdom was the Sea Pattern Stone, and it was also a Mutated Yuan Crystal. It was the treasure of the Gesang Jewelry Store.

“No, really not. I have worked in the store for three years and have never seen such a large Sea Pattern Stone. Sir must have heard some rumors. The largest Sea Pattern Stone we have here is only about half the size of a fist. Would you like to buy a few, sir?” The pretty girl smiled sweetly, but Jiang Xincheng was filled with disappointment.

Looking at the not very large Gesang Jewelry Store, Jiang Xincheng gave a bitter smile. Disappointment flashed across his face. He shook his head and said, “Since you don’t have it, I’ll go to another store to take a look.”

He came with high hopes and left with great disappointment. Tales of the Unusual was originally for entertainment, so it was normal to misremember the time. But if he did not know the exact time, it would be quite difficult to find the Stone of Wisdom. Would he have to pay close attention to this place often in the future?

Thinking this, an idea suddenly came to Jiang Xincheng’s mind. It was impossible for him to stay here all the time to look for the Stone of Wisdom, but he could ask someone else to look for the Stone of Wisdom on his behalf, such as the owner of this jewelry store…

Smiling slightly, Jiang Xincheng, who had just stepped outside, suddenly turned back. He looked at the pretty girl and smiled, “Can you call your boss? I have something to discuss with him.”

“Our boss?” The pretty girl was stunned, then she smiled and nodded. “Our boss is right across the street. I’ll call him right now.”

As she spoke, the pretty girl made a phone call and summoned the boss of the Gesang Jewelry Store.

After a while, a chubby middle-aged man, accompanied by a teenage boy who looked silly and also chubby, walked over. Seeing Jiang Xincheng, the chubby middle-aged man smiled and said, “Hello, sir. I am Laba, the boss of Gesang Jewelry Store. What can I do for you?”

“It’s like this. I heard that Gesang Jewelry Store acquired a top-grade Sea Pattern Stone, and it was very large, so I came to see it. But it turned out to be a rumor. So I wanted to ask Boss Laba to keep an eye out for me. If the store gets any top-grade Sea Pattern Stones, the bigger the better, I will pay a high price to buy them. You…”

Before Jiang Xincheng could finish, Boss Laba said in surprise, “Where did you get this news, sir? I did acquire a Sea Pattern Stone a few days ago that was almost the size of a human head. It looked extremely beautiful, so I took it home and hid it to avoid attracting thieves.”

“Really? Can you bring that Sea Pattern Stone for me to see? I really like Sea Pattern Stones and have collected many top-grade ones. If that Sea Pattern Stone is good, I can offer a high price to buy it.” Boss Laba’s words made Jiang Xincheng jolt all over. A look of pleasant surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly spoke.

Boss Laba thought for a moment, then said with a full smile, “Alright, sir, please wait a moment. I’ll bring that Sea Pattern Stone over soon.”

Boss Laba left the Gesang Jewelry Store and went home to get the Sea Pattern Stone. The pretty girl looked at Jiang Xincheng in surprise, never expecting that Jiang Xincheng would know about a Sea Pattern Stone even she was unaware of.

Half an hour later, escorted by several Primordial Warriors at or above the Tendon Training Realm, Boss Laba arrived at the Gesang Jewelry Store carrying an antique bronze box. Noticing that Jiang Xincheng was looking at the group of Primordial Warriors behind him, Boss Laba gave an awkward smile and said, “This Sea Pattern Stone is invaluable. My own strength is too weak, and I was worried it might get robbed on the way, so I called all the experts from my family to come along.”

Jiang Xincheng nodded and smiled, “For such a precious treasure, no amount of protection is too much. Let me take a look at this Sea Pattern Stone.”

“Alright.” With so many Tendon Training Realm Primordial Warriors guarding him, Boss Laba was not worried that Jiang Xincheng would snatch his Sea Pattern Stone. He directly opened the antique bronze box, revealing a Sea Pattern Stone inside that was nearly the size of a human head.

It was entirely azure blue, like the ocean, with a sea-wave pattern of blue-green mixed with white. Under the light, it displayed a geometrically beautiful pattern of patches and grids.

This was an extremely beautiful Sea Pattern Stone. Even without considering its other uses, just this pretty stone alone was priceless, let alone such a large piece of Sea Pattern Stone.

Moreover, this Sea Pattern Stone was also a Mutated Yuan Crystal, which undoubtedly increased its value.

Jiang Xincheng took this Sea Pattern Stone in his hands, carefully played with it, and felt the pure power flowing inside. A bright smile spread across his face.

The Stone of Wisdom!

This was indeed the Stone of Wisdom he was looking for, the immeasurably valuable Stone of Wisdom. In the future, those great figures and powerful forces would be willing to pay hundreds of billions of Credit Points to buy this peerless treasure, an existence like a Divine Artifact.

The main reason Year 5 of the New Era was called the year of the Mutated Yuan Crystal outbreak was that four Mutated Yuan Crystals that could be called Divine Artifacts appeared this year. Among these four Mutated Yuan Crystals, the Stone of Wisdom could at least rank second or third.

As for the first place, it undoubtedly belonged to the Mutated Yuan Crystal Jiang Xincheng obtained in Nanhai City, which caused a complete transformation in him, greatly increasing his cultivation talent and almost changing his fate.

A Mutated Yuan Crystal that could improve cultivation talent, and to such a great extent, had only appeared once in decades. So the Mutated Yuan Crystal from Nanhai City was widely recognized as the number one Mutated Yuan Crystal. Even in several waves of Mutated Yuan Crystal frenzies, that Mutated Yuan Crystal deserved the top spot.

But that Mutated Yuan Crystal had already been consumed by Jiang Xincheng, and he gained tremendous benefits from it. Now, as long as he obtained the Stone of Wisdom, Jiang Xincheng alone would take away more than half of the benefits from the first Mutated Yuan Crystal frenzy in cultivation history, and the best benefits at that.

Having been reborn, the advantages Jiang Xincheng obtained were simply immeasurable. If he knew the exact origins and times of the other two precious Mutated Yuan Crystals, he would definitely go looking for them and take all the benefits from this Mutated Yuan Crystal frenzy.

What a pity. Jiang Xincheng sighed secretly in his heart and gave up the idea of searching for the other two Mutated Yuan Crystals. The chances were too small, almost impossible, and it would take too much time. Besides, he did not value the effects of the other two Mutated Yuan Crystals much, so it was fine to let them go.

The most important thing right now was to obtain the Stone of Wisdom before him!
