Chapter 1074: Chapter 1076 – Saber Embryo

Bai Qi, Bai Ling, and the old man were dumbfounded.

Deciding the outcome of rock-betting without cutting the rocks open?

Was this Qin Nan out of his mind?

Even the incredibly nervous Bai Qinglian was left with a blank expression.

“The first rock consists of a green crystal Bodhi statue, which contains a relatively impressive bodhi intent.

“The second rock is a red crystal, containing a strong fire intent which is suitable for those who focus on the cultivation of fire.

“The third one is an icy crystal, which is capable of improving one’s comprehension after refining it.”

Qin Nan said with a calm expression.

Bai Ling, the old man, Bai Qi, and Bai Qinglian were utterly shocked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

What was going on?

Could Qin Nan really peek through the three rocks like that?

“Humph, stop bluffing, do you really think you can see through the rocks? I’ll show you what exactly is inside them!”

Bai Qi collected his thoughts and his eyes were filled with disdain. He took out a demonic saber the color of blood and slashed at the biggest rock.

Buzz.

The entire room was covered in a golden glow, as a faint Buddhist chant could be heard.

At the center of the rock was a green Buddha statue sitting with its legs crossed and its palms together. Its mouth was moving slightly, as if it were alive, chanting the Buddhist verses.

“This…”

Even Bai Ling was immersed in a great shock.

Qin Nan had said it right. It really was a Bodhi statue!

“How could this be! Impossible!”

Bai Qi’s face turned slightly pale as he let out a roar and lashed out with another two slashes, cutting the remaining rocks open. Following this, the intent of fire and an icy aura lingered in the room.

They were a fiery crystal and an icy crystal respectively!

BANG!

Bai Qi’s brain began to buzz as if he were being punched in the face. The saber in his hand slowly disappeared.

They were exactly how Qin Nan had described!

He was able to see through the rocks!

Did that mean…

The rock that Qin Nan had picked would really contain a priceless treasure?

“Impressive!”

Bai Ling’s eyes were filled with astonishment as she exclaimed after she recovered from the shock.

As the Empress, she had witnessed countless strange talents and extraordinary achievements among the geniuses of the Southern Continent, but it was her first time seeing someone peeking through the betting rocks!

The old man took a deep breath as his eyes glistened and were fixated onto Qin Nan’s figure, as if he were trying to inspect him thoroughly.

“I already reminded you, but you didn’t believe me. Why bother wasting your time?” Qin Nan let out a sigh before a stream of saber intent was emitted from the tip of his finger, “Since you’re done, it’s my turn now.”

He swiped across with his finger.

Bai Ling and the old man subconsciously straightened their figures as they gathered their focus.

Since Qin Nan was able to see through the rocks, what exactly would the rock he selected contain?

BANG!

A formidable saber aura sprang upward.

A terrifying saber intent swept the room and the entire White Declaration Pagoda like a tornado.

In addition to the people in the room, every cultivator in the White Declaration Pagoda could feel their hearts shudder, as if everything before them had become surreal.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was shocked as he saw a crystal with the shape of a saber inside the rock.

He was aware that the rock contained a rare treasure, but he did not expect it to be a saber embryo.

Besides, why did it feel like its saber intent was similar to the three lines of saber runes he had comprehended?

What was going on here?

As he was astounded, several voices echoed in the White Declaration Pagoda.

“Damn! Such a powerful saber intent!”

“It came from the fifth floor. I heard Young Master Bai Qi has received a batch of betting rocks. Could it be something incredible?”

“What? Betting rocks? I wonder who picked it, as it would definitely be a fortune!”

“Gasp, why can’t I be that lucky too!”

The cultivators burst into an uproar after learning the truth. Their eyes were full of jealousy.

…Meanwhile, in the room on the fifth floor…

“Saber embryo! It’s a saber embryo! Judging from the terrifying saber intent, if anyone were to refine it, it could easily alter their destiny or greatly improve their cultivation!” The old man stared at the saber embryo as he said with a trembling voice.

Bai Ling’s heart was experiencing tremendous waves too.

The saber embryo had completely exceeded her imagination.

Only a few treasures inside the vault of the Royal Palace could be compared with the saber embryo.

“Saber embryo…Such a powerful saber embryo…” Bai Qinglian stared blankly, before she finally reacted after a few breaths’ time, causing her to burst into joy, “Qin Nan! We’ve won! Our saber embryo is more valuable than his loot! We’ve won!”

Her mind had begun to go blank.

She did not expect Qin Nan to have such an impressive comeback in such a hopeless situation.

“Now is not the time to celebrate yet.”

Qin Nan collected his thoughts and stored the saber embryo inside his ring before glancing at Bai Qi.

Bai Qinglian came to a realization, who went up to Bai Qi and said with a cold harrumph, “You’ve lost the bet. Not only will the White Declaration Pagoda be ours, but you also have to hand over your badge too!”

“You!”

Green veins surfaced on Bai Qi’s forehead as his eyes became bloodshot. His figure trembled in anger.

Lost!

He had paid a huge price to invite Bai Ling here for his set up, but this was the outcome he got!

“Qin Nan, right? Very well, who would have thought Bai Qinglian would be able to find someone like you. I’ve really underestimated you! I will never forget this!” Bai Qi withheld the fury in his heart as he snapped in a sinister tone, before unwillingly handed the badge to Bai Qinglian.

With Bai Ling here, it was impossible for him to go against his promise.

Qin Nan shrugged.

He was only willing to help Bai Qinglian as, firstly, she had given him a good first impression, and secondly, he planned to secure the White Declaration Pagoda, so he could comprehend the saber intent, and last but not least, he was not too fond of Bai Qi.

If Bai Qi were to attack him, he would make use of the opportunity to eliminate him once and for all.

“Qin Nan, you have my thanks. I have no idea how to repay your kindness…”

Bai Qinglian wore a joyful expression as her gaze toward Qin Nan was filled with gratitude.

She would not have any hope of winning the bet if it weren’t for Qin Nan.

“I did promise that I’d help you once.”

Qin Nan let out a smile.

For some reason, after settling Bai Qinglian’s problem, he felt extremely relieved.

Was it possible that comprehending the saber intent was not the only requirement to comprehend the Sky-Desolating Saber Art? Even this was a part of the trial?

“Qin Nan, who would have thought our Southern Continent would have a genius like you. Very impressive.” At that instant, Bai Ling suddenly spoke, “Is it possible for you to sell me the saber embryo?”
