When the onlookers saw this emerald jade, their eyes lit up.
"I heard that five years ago, at a top jewelry auction in eastern Guangdong, a mysterious tycoon bought this 800 million yuan jadeite. It turned out to be the Gu family."
"The Gu family's century-long heritage is truly extraordinary. Such expensive jade is just the appetizer."
Gu Shaoyang was ecstatic. It seemed that what he said before about betting on the jewelry was right. Now he could finally win back the game.
For a small company like Clover, giving out so many diamonds is already the limit, and they definitely don't have the spare capacity to give out expensive jewelry.
He looked at Long Yi provocatively and said sarcastically, "Mr. Long, stop dawdling and quickly produce something that is equivalent to my emerald.
But I don't think you have the ability to do that. After all, a small workshop like Clover has been emptied out after taking out those diamonds, right? If you don't want to embarrass yourself, just admit defeat quickly.
Long Yi laughed in silence. He didn't know who gave this guy the confidence. He had never won before, yet he still had the courage to be so arrogant.
"I don't have jadeite artifacts like yours, but I do have five broken beads. I wonder if they would catch Mr. Gu's eye?"
Gu Shaoyang sneered, "Pull it out for a stroll, whether it's a mule or a horse. Just don't use the kind of marbles that little brats play with."
As soon as he finished speaking, five beads of different luster appeared in Long Yi's hand. Each bead exuded a different aura. Upon careful perception, it was found that they were the five auras of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Gu Shaoyang's face changed drastically. The arrogant look he had just had was completely gone, and was replaced by an expression of horror.
"This... How is this possible? How could you possibly gather all five elements of spiritual beads?"
Although his attainments in martial arts were not high, he had heard of the Five Elements Spirit Pearl, a long-renowned treasure of the Dragon Kingdom.
If it was just any one of the Five Elements Spirit Pearls, it would probably be sold for tens of billions at the auction, but once all five spirit pearls were gathered together, the price could not be measured by money at all.
Gu Shaoyang picked up a fire spirit bead in disbelief. The moment he touched it, he felt a scorching breath, but it was still within the tolerable range.
The real feeling of heat, the violent aura contained within the spirit bead, and the mysterious patterns, he had to admit that this was the genuine Fire Spirit Bead.
Gu Shaoyang took the Water Spirit Pearl in his hand again, and a cool feeling instantly spread across his palm.
Long Yi stared at him with a playful expression and teased, "Mr. Gu, I wonder if these five beads that my children are playing with can compare to your emerald?"
"This...this..." Gu Shaoyang felt like something was stuck in his throat. His emerald was at most a collectible cultural relic, but the Five Elements Spirit Pearl that Long Yi took out was the supreme treasure in the world of cultivation. According to legend, the Five Elements Spirit Pearl was the key to opening the door to a new world.
Evil thoughts arose in his mind. As long as he could break the two water and fire spirit beads in his hands, Long Yi would no longer be able to collect the five elements spirit beads. Then, as long as he could take out a few high-end jadeite later, he could win the bet.
Thinking of this, Gu Shaoyang raised his hands high, intending to throw the Ice and Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand to the ground with great force.
But unexpectedly, the two spirit beads were firmly stuck to his hand as if with strong glue, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard he tried.
The next second, the two spirit beads released a strong and strange light. Gu Shaoyang's left hand instantly felt a bone-eroding burning sensation, while his right hand felt a piercing cold breath.
Long Yi snorted coldly. He had long seen through this guy's little thoughts. The moment he raised his hand, he released the Xuantian Qi to activate the two spirit beads.
"Mr. Gu, didn't your mother teach you not to intentionally damage other people's property? Or do you not have a mother at all?"
At this moment, Gu Shaoyang felt that there were two completely opposite violent energies fighting in his body. The blood in his right hand was almost frozen, while his left hand felt as painful as if it was put into boiling water.
The air was instantly filled with the smell of burnt protein. His face seemed to be wearing a mask of pain. He grimaced in pain and tears streamed down his face.
"Long...Brother Long, please stop these two spirit beads. If they continue like this, I will die."
Long Yi remained unmoved and jokingly said, "Mr. Gu, I can't bear to be called Brother Long. I still like your rebellious look just now. Just call me Xiaolong."
Gu Shaoyang's legs softened in pain, and he knelt down in front of Long Yi, shaking uncontrollably. He begged, "Master Long, please make these two spirit beads stop. I admit defeat in this bet, okay?"
"What a coward." Long Yi laughed, and with a flick of his fingers, the Xuantian true energy entered the two spirit beads, and the strange color on them gradually dimmed.
Gu Shaoyang's whole body was completely soaked with sweat. He lay on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, and it took him a long time to recover.
The onlookers suddenly widened their eyes, completely unable to understand why Gu Shaoyang suddenly shook violently as if he was having an epileptic seizure.
"Master Gu, do you think he has some kind of genetic disease? Why did he suddenly become like that?"
"It's probably not a disease. It seems to be related to the two beads he's holding in his hands."
"Could it be the legendary Water and Fire Spirit Pearl? So that young man actually collected all five elements of the Spirit Pearl. This is a priceless treasure!"
After a while, Gu Shaoyang finally woke up from his coma and was helped up by his subordinates in a panic.
After Long Yi took back the two water and fire spirit beads, he smiled and said, "If I heard correctly, Master Gu just admitted that he has lost the bet. Then prepare to cash in the bet."
Although Gu Shaoyang was unwilling to give up, even if he took out all the remaining treasures, they were still no match for the Five Elements Spirit Pearl in Long Yi's hand. It seemed that there was no suspense in this bet.
He rolled his eyes slyly and said, "Mr. Long, I admit that I lost this bet. I will cash the check for 100 million yuan to you first, and I will also transfer the five stores of Gu's Jewelry to you.
But you need to give me some time. After all, this is a family business. You can go to the Gu family this afternoon to get the transfer contract."
Long Yi nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Gu Shaoyang grinned in his heart. Once this kid Long Yi entered the Gu family, he would give him a crappy transfer contract and directly let the four guardians of the family kill people and steal the treasure. By then, if the Five Elements Spirit Pearl could fall into the hands of the Gu family, he would have made a great contribution.
Long Yi picked up the gambling agreement beside him and said, "I'll accept this gambling agreement first, but I warn you not to try any tricks, because you can't afford the price!"
Although Gu Shaoyang agreed on the surface, he was actually feeling contempt in his heart. The young man just had no experience. If this guy dared to enter the Gu Mansion alone, he would definitely return the humiliation he just suffered to him double.
