High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

Even someone who isn't an appraiser can see the value of this item.

Liao Mingyu stared intently at the box in Manager Zhang's hand; how could he not recognize it?

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief; finally, it was the last item.

But next second.

He was utterly heartbroken.

He lost this bet completely.

Liao Mingyu couldn't understand why he had lost; he was a disciple of the renowned appraiser Shi Zhongtian.

Today, not only have I lost face, but I'm also dragging my master down with me. Thinking of this, Liao Mingyu's face turned red.

Just then, Steward Zhang's voice came:

"Master Liao, if I'm not mistaken, this is the Frost Jade Marrow."

"Yes." Liao Mingyu's eyes were glazed over, and he answered subconsciously when he heard Manager Zhang's words.

He couldn't care less about that anymore; the agreement was already signed, and it was practically impossible to back out now.

"Frost Jade Marrow is also a rare treasure. For martial artists who cultivate water-attribute and ice-attribute techniques, it is an even more sought-after treasure."

"It can accelerate the training speed of water-attribute and ice-attribute martial artists."

"The most important point is that it has an extremely small probability of causing a martial artist's physique to undergo a transformation, turning into a physique with the attribute of ice."

"Although the physique resulting from this transformation is not a special physique, it has completely changed a martial artist's cultivation aptitude, giving them the possibility of reaching higher realms."

"In addition, it is also an extremely valuable cultivation resource for martial artists who have awakened the Frost Physique."

"Of course, it's not that attractive to ordinary martial artists, so its price isn't as high as you might imagine."

"But it won't be low either. Because it can awaken a person's constitution, it's highly sought after."

"The last auction price was 25 billion."

As soon as Steward Zhang finished speaking, a collective gasp of astonishment rang out.

"Hiss..."

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

"The most expensive item in the entire place. It's worth 25 billion. I've worked hard for 20 years since I became a martial artist, and I don't even have that much money in total."

"Damn, is this young man named Chen Mo some kind of chosen one? His luck is so good. The stuff he got from just four stones has already reached 6 billion."

"Yes, I've never earned that much money in my entire life. I wish I had that kind of luck."

"Now look what's happened, Master Liao's reputation is ruined. The five stones he painstakingly found were instantly destroyed. And it's even dragging down Master Shi Zhongtian's reputation."

"Don't even mention him. Frost Jade Marrow, this stuff can awaken a physique, I've never heard of it before."

"Of course! Didn't you see that Master Liao didn't refute it?"

"Sigh, why can't I be so lucky?"

As the crowd discussed the matter, their gazes toward Chen Mo and his companion were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, with many martial artists even revealing greedy eyes.

If this were outside the city, they would have already started looting.

The clamor of the crowd was so loud that it made Wang Zixuan's head buzz.

60 billion!

Such a huge number was overwhelming for him.

Even if he were the eldest son of one of the three great families in Jiangbei City, he wouldn't be able to come up with that much money all at once.

How did a bet that was supposed to be a sure win turn into a loss? Losing is bad enough, but having to pay the other party over 70 billion is a huge blow, even if his family comes up with that much money.

He didn't know how to bring it up with his father.

She could only look at Liao Mingyu with pleading eyes.

At this moment, Liao Mingyu stood there blankly, his eyes vacant, completely oblivious to Wang Zixuan's pleading gaze.

"Quiet!"

Manager Zhang finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop everyone's noise.

Everyone immediately shut up and looked at Steward Zhang.

"The outcome of this bet is obvious: Chen Mo's side won with an overwhelming advantage, as the total value of his treasures reached 60 billion."

"The agreement has been signed and is legally binding. The result is in. As the notary, I declare Chen Mo's side the winner."

"Master Liao, do you accept this result?"

"I……"

Liao Mingyu found it hard to accept and wanted to accuse the other party of cheating, but he couldn't find any evidence or reason to do so.

So he stammered and didn't know what to say.

"Master Liao, do you have any other objections? Our Gem Pavilion is fair and impartial, and everyone present is a witness. You should have no objections, right?"

Although Liao Mingyu had lost, Manager Zhang's attitude towards him did not turn cold, because Liao Mingyu had Shi Zhongtian, a master appraiser, behind him.

Shi Zhongtian also has a vast network of connections and influence, so even if he is a grandmaster, it is not advisable to offend him.

Shi Zhongtian is no ordinary appraiser; he has an official background, and even the owner of the Gem Tower treats him with utmost respect.

"Cheating! There must be cheating!"

Before Liao Mingyu could even speak, Wang Zixuan stepped forward and accused Chen Mo.

"You must have cheated. Four out of five stones yielded good items. How is that possible? Even if you were lucky, it's impossible."

"You're not even an appraiser, how could you possibly know there's something good inside the stone? That's impossible."

"You cheated first, so we didn't lose, and all of this is ours."

The more Wang Zixuan talked, the more convinced he became of his guess, so he became even more certain of his statement and pointed the finger at Li Mengxue.

"And you, Li Mengxue, must have been behind all of this. Your father is a grandmaster; he has the ability to do these things."

"Anything obtained through cheating violates the agreement, so your side has lost."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Chen Mo couldn't help but burst into laughter, forcefully interrupting Wang Zixuan's ramblings.

He released a little of his aura and pressed down on Wang Zixuan, who immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

Wang Zixuan was pinned to the ground, his face immediately contorting in a ferocious grimace. He struggled desperately, but found he couldn't stand up no matter what he did, so he roared angrily:

"Li Mengxue, you bitch. You actually let your father use the power of a Grandmaster to suppress me, bullying the weak. You dared to make a move in the Gem Tower, you are simply insane."

Hearing this, Chen Mo's anger soared: "Serves you right for being so foul-mouthed."

On a whim, he stuffed a handful of smelly socks into Wang Zixuan's mouth.

"Mmm..."

Wang Zixuan's mouth was gagged, and he could only make muffled sounds.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, Wang Zixuan had been gagged and was lying on the ground, writhing like a maggot.

"Zixuan!" Liao Mingyu saw Wang Zixuan's miserable state and immediately came to his senses. He wanted to go forward to help Wang Zixuan up, but found that his body was frozen and he could not move at all.

A chill immediately rose from his heels to the top of his head, causing him to break out in a sweat.

His intuition told him that if he moved again, he would die.
