High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

"Hey bro, did you hear?"

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

"The day before yesterday, someone found a Sword Enlightenment Stone on the street where stones are traded. After being appraised by Master Shi Zhongtian, he said it could help martial artists comprehend sword intent and increase their chances of breaking through to the Great Martial Master level."

"Wow, that person is incredibly lucky! Did he keep it for himself or sell it?"

"That person was just a martial artist; he certainly couldn't keep such a treasure. He asked Master Shi Zhongtian to help with the auction, and they got a lot of resources in return. He was so lucky. I wish I could have opened a treasure like that too."

"Yes. But, brother, on this street where you gamble on jade, can finding something good save your life? If you're lucky, finding something good might actually be your death warrant."

"Brother, you don't need to worry about that. The jade gambling street has official backing from Linjiang City; no one can use force there. You don't need to worry about safety."

"That puts my mind at ease. Since there are no safety issues, let's go and try our luck."

"That's what I think too, let's go."

"Hurry up!"

After the two brothers finished speaking, they immediately stood up and walked towards the shop entrance.

The two spoke at a moderate volume, but everyone in the shop was a martial artist, and they heard everything they said.

Many people also stood up and hurriedly paid their bills, following along to try their luck.

Chen Mo and Li Mengxue, sitting in the corner by the window, exchanged a glance, both seeing curiosity in each other's eyes.

"Mengxue, why don't we go take a look? Even if we don't buy anything, we can still enjoy the spectacle. I've never seen jade gambling before."

"Okay, me too."

Li Mengxue nodded slightly and agreed with a smile.

"I looked it up, and I didn't know there was such a thing as jade gambling."

Just as Chen Mo was about to take out his phone to look up some information, Li Mengxue stopped him.

"No need to check, I know that."

"Huh? Didn't you say you'd never seen one either? How do you know so much about jade gambling?"

Li Mengxue took Chen Mo's hand, shook it, and giggled:

"I knew about it a few years ago; my dad told me about it. He once went to Linjiang City on a business trip and visited the jade gambling street, but he was unlucky and none of the jade pieces he found were useful."

"I see. But speaking of which, where do all these stones used for jade gambling come from?"

"I actually know that. They were talking as they walked."

"OK."

The two stood up and walked towards the shop entrance.

"The stones used for gambling on jade come from deep abyssal fissures. Some of these fissures are resource fissures, with fewer ferocious beasts and more resources."

"Some are ores, some are medicinal herbs, some are trees, and so on, there are many different kinds. The stones used for gambling on stones are one of them, and they contain many things, including rare and precious materials as well as garbage."

"The formation of these abyssal fissures is very complex; they all appeared suddenly. Of the stones used in gambling, a small portion are officially auctioned off, while the majority are from abandoned fissures."

"So it all comes down to luck."

Chen Mo nodded slightly, then shook his head.

"So it's from the Abyss Rift. I didn't expect there to be stones like this."

"However, even stones can be examined through various means, especially mental examination, which makes it easy to identify what's inside."

"Luck plays a relatively minor role."

Take Chen Mo for example. His mental capacity reaches over 50, and he can sense distances of up to 50 kilometers, even underground.

Upon entering Linjiang City, he subconsciously sensed the situation beneath the city.

He discovered numerous ferocious beasts operating approximately 3 to 10 kilometers underground in Linjiang City, and secretly killed them.

The number of beasts was extremely large. After annihilating them all, Chen Mo obtained 5 general proficiency points, more than 1000 elite beast cores, and 3 lord beast cores.

"Hehe, you just don't understand!" Li Mengxue laughed triumphantly.

"What don't you understand?"

Chen Mo looked puzzled, but he quickly realized, "Could that stone block mental perception and detection?"

"Huh? How did you know?"

Li Mengxue didn't expect that Chen Mo would understand what was going on so quickly.

"I can't think of any other reason besides this one."

Chen Mo answered with a smile.

"That's right. The mental power of a Grandmaster is extremely strong. If the stone couldn't block their mental probing, they would have already looted all those treasures."

"Then my dad wouldn't say things like 'bad luck' anymore, since he was already a grandmaster back then."

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We'll find out when we get there. We'll use our mental energy to investigate later."

"Okay, sure."

The jade gambling street is about one kilometer away from them, a few minutes' walk away.

Chen Mo and Li Mengxue were not in a hurry, chatting as they walked.

While chatting, Chen Mo was also thinking about the principle behind being able to block mental probing.

Even if he gets junk, he has to find out exactly what happened.

It should be noted that his greatest reliance is his mental strength and the laws of space.

With mental energy isolated, it is extremely difficult to locate and accurately attack.

If his mental power is ineffective, then his strength will be reduced by at least half.

Of course, this applies when he cannot use any mental energy.

Soon, the two arrived at the street where jade gambling was taking place.

Even before entering, I could see that the place was bustling with people and very lively.

The sounds of hawking, bargaining, conversation, and cutting mingled together, creating a lively theatrical spectacle.

As soon as the two entered the street, they saw all kinds of stones displayed on the stalls on both sides.

The first stall owner greeted Chen Mo and his companion warmly as soon as he saw them.

"Guests, come and see the stone that just came out of the abyss rift. There's definitely something good inside. If you're lucky, you might even find something that can change your destiny!"

"The stones here are cheap; you won't be cheated or lose out."

"Seeing that you have become martial artists at such a young age, you must be geniuses among geniuses. If you were to open a treasure trove, your path to martial arts would be smooth sailing."

"Come take a look, buy a few and try your luck. This is the first stall on this jade gambling street, I'm sure I have some good stuff."

Chen Mo and his companion only lingered in front of the stall for a short while before the stall owner began to urge them to buy stones.

A barrage of praise would surely tempt an ordinary martial artist, who might impulsively buy a few stones.

Chen Mo and Li Mengxue exchanged a glance, both able to see in each other's eyes that they had no desire to buy.

"The boss is short on cash, so we'll just look."

"Oh no, don't be like that. My stones are very cheap. Look, the small ones are 1 yuan each, the medium ones are 5 yuan each, and the large ones are 10 yuan each."

"You can't buy these for such a low price anywhere else. Besides, you've become martial artists at such a young age, so you must have plenty of pocket money. Buying a few is just a chance to try your luck."

The stall owner tried his best to persuade them, and seeing Chen Mo and his companion's youthful appearance and martial arts skills, he knew that they were definitely not short of money.
