God-Like Extraction Chapter 204

Chapter 204 - Very Comfortable When Hugged to Sleep

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This is troublesome!

Damn the murderer! Not only did they kill a disciple from the Hundred Flower Valley, they even turned her into a mummy!

What are they up to?

To fight to the death with Hundred Flower Valley?

With such vicious methods, could the murderer be an archenemy of the Hundred Flower Valley?

Is there a powerful faction behind the murderer that they dared to target the Hundred Flower Valley?

Even if this faction wasn’t as powerful as Hundred Flower Valley, it wasn’t much weaker, was it?

What is their goal in killing a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley?

Purely revenge?

Or deliberately provoking a conflict?

What a headache!

When Li Linzhou came back to his senses, he felt like his head was about to explode.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of the Hundred Flower Valley.

Although the thousand-year-old sect had terrifying strength, the Martial Suppression Office was the number one martial arts organization in the Yu Nation. It had both manpower, money and resources.

What troubled Li Linzhou the most was the series of problems caused by the death of the disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley.

She died in Qinghe City.

‘Whether it was the murderer or the Hundred Flower Valley, they were bound to start off an intense fight in Qinghe City.

Exchanges between experts would most easily bring about undeserved catastrophe.

In the end, the ordinary people would be the ones suffering.

This wasn’t something he could control!

Alarmed, Li Linzhou made up his mind.

First, he drew a deep breath. Then, he said, “Rest assured, Patriarch Wang. The Martial Suppression Office will cooperate with your operation to find the murderer!

“Given how unbridled the murderer is, they must be an expert. Just in case, I’ll report this matter and have a Universal Envoy stationed at Qinghe City!”

The room fell silent.

‘The howling Wang Tiedao went stiff and stopped yelling.

‘The faces of Sun Ye and the others lit up with joy.

A Universal Envoy—an envoy who patrolled the world!

This position was an important position in the Martial Suppression Office, and only top-ranked experts could hold it.

After Li Linzhou’s report, the Universal Envoy that would come could either be in the third-grade, second-grade, or even the first-grade!

‘As for the exact grade, that would depend on the situation.

But the lowest was third-grade!

‘When a third-grade martial artist arrived in Qinghe City, no matter how furious the people sent by Hundred Flower Valley were, they had to contain their anger and control their emotions.

Even if they had no other choice but to strike, they had to do so outside the city.

Li Linzhou had announced his decision in front of so many people because he wanted to tell Wang Tiedao, the Martial Suppression Office would accommodate the search for the murderer, but they were not to behave unscrupulously in the city!

Wang Tiedao understood that so she remained silent.

Li Linzhou could not control the situation, and neither could she resolve it.

‘The Hundred Flower Valley would only dispatch its personnel after people taking care of the aftermath reported the matter.

Of course, the people from the Hundred Flowers Valley would need time to arrive, but the deceased’s corpse would still be cremated first.

This was a rigid rule.

There was nothing that could be done in the wild, but in the city, it had to be cremated.

To that end, Wang Tiedao extracted some tissue and cells from the corpse and snapped a full-body photo.

Only then did Gu Bo and Su Jingxing put the corpse into the body bag and carry it out of the room, returning to the crematorium.

Along the way, Gu Bo sighed. “Since the murderer dared to kill a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley, they certainly wouldn’t be weak, probably in either third-grade or fourth-grade.”

“Tm more curious about why the murderer killed her,” said Su Jingxing, pondering. “Could the deceased have known the murderer when she was alive?”

“Well…” Gu Bo mused and said,” That’s possible!”

“Think about it. A disciple from Hundred Flower Valley came to Qinghe City, but instead of looking for Boss Wang who is from the same sect, she checked into a hotel by herself. No matter how you look at it, there’s something fishy about this!”

“Maybe she’s here for a private matter?” Su Jingxing guessed. “Because it was a private matter, that’s why she didn’t look for Boss Wang?”

“God knows,” said Gu Bo, shaking his head. “Anyway, this matter won’t end anytime soon. Now that she’s dead, whether it was a private matter or not doesn’t matter anymore.”

“That’s true,” agreed Su Jingxing.

That’s right. No matter what happened to the deceased when she was alive, her death was the biggest problem!

Back at the crematorium.

Gu Bo brought the corpse to carry on with the subsequent procedures.

After work, Su Jingxing went to the canteen, had lunch, and returned to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.

Given his current “strength”, working a moming shift was more than enough.

He could also extract cards at home.

Going to the crematorium and showing his face occasionally was enough to cover his job.

After some thought, Su Jingxing decided that it was best to keep an eye on the death of the Hundred Flower Valley disciple in Qinghe City.

Protecting the Yu Nation for 10 years was his vow.

Between the Hundred Flower Valley and the mastermind, Su Jingxing had no objections as to whatever they did and neither would he intervene.

However, if the conflict between the two affected others and caused large-scale casualties, it would be related to Su Jingxing.

By then, even if Su Jingxing didn’t intervene, he would have to.

For that, he had to keep an eye on this matter.

In the afternoon, he stayed at home and used true fluid to nourish his mind and temper his Martial Art True Intent.

At night, he suddenly received a call from Shen Qian.

“Senior, someone wants to sell a strange Energy Gathering Stone.”

“Strange?” asked Su Jingxing, stopping his tempering. “How so?”

“The other party said that hugging the Energy Gathering Stones to sleep allows one to sleep very comfortably,” replied Shen Qian, stifling her laughter.

Hugging it to sleep allows one to sleep very comfortably?

Isn’t that normal?

Energy Gathering Stones are meant to gather worldly energy.

For ordinary people, hugging an Energy Gathering Stone to sleep is equivalent to being enveloped by worldly energy. Even the slightest shred of energy will make their sleep extremely comfortable.

This is all too normal.

“By the way, that Energy Gathering Stone is very light.”

Shen Qian recalled something and continued. “Senior, your offer price is five million Great Yu dollars per kilogram. But while the energy gathering stone that this person has isn’t small, about the size of two palms, it’s very light—not even half a kilogram.”

“So?” asked Su Jingxing.

“So the other party requested the same price. We cannot reduce the price just because it’s not as heavy,” answered Shen Qian.

“Sure!”

Pondering for a moment, Su Jingxing replied, “If the stone is really the size of two palms as he claimed, I’ll give five million Great Yu dollars.”

“alright, I’ll reply him right away,”

Shen Qian hung up.

Su Jingxing put down his phone and stopped cultivating. He got up and took out his gear, cloak and mask.

An Energy Gathering Stones that was the size of two palms. If there was no problem with it, five million dollars it shall be.

In any case, Su Jingxing wasn’t short of money.

‘The bigger the Energy Gathering Stone, the faster it could gather energy.

For that, if the size of the stone was as claimed, this deal would be worth it.

When he finished getting dressed, his phone rang again.

It was still Shen Qian.

“Senior, the seller has agreed and wants to proceed with the deal as soon as possible. Tonight, at a pavilion in the northwestern corner of Central Square at 11 p.m. tonight.”

“Got it,” replied Su Jingxing, “Give him a reply that Ill be there on time. Tell him to hold onto the Energy Gathering Stone properly.”

“Yes, Senior.”

Shen Qian answered and hung up.

Su Jingxing switched on his computer and transferred six million Great Yu dollars to Shen Qian’s account.

Once the deal was closed, five million would be given to the other party. One million would be the payment for Shen Qian and the others.

The agreed time was 11 p.m.

Since he had some time, Su Jingxing went online to search for news regarding the stone tablet. At the same time, he also checked if there was any information regarding the death of a disciple from Hundred Flower Valley.

He found that the Internet was still bustling with talks and discussions of the stone tablet.

On the contrary, there was nothing about the disciple of the Hundred Flowers Valley who had been turned into a mummy.

‘Whether or not the Martial Suppression Office was behind this wasn’t clear either.

“Speaking of which, why would a disciple of the Hundred Flower Valley appear in Qinghe City?”

Su Jingxing pondered as he scanned through the information.

Time flew by, and soon it was 11 p.m..

After putting on his equipment, Su Jingxing walked out of the courtyard, took to the air, and flew towards the Central District.

Central Square generally referred to the People’s Square in the Central District.

‘The square was built by the government, and it did not have many recreation facilities nor was it large.

Su Jingxing flew through the air. When he reached the appointed place, he saw a thin figure waiting in the pavilion.

Immediately, he chose a remote corner and landed.

Then, he walked towards the pavilion.

‘When he was about 10 meters away, the man in the pavilion suddenly turned around and looked at him.

“Stop right there!” shouted the man, stopping him. “Wait, are you the buyer?”

“It’s me,” said Su Jingxing in a lowered voice. “Did you bring the Energy Gathering Stone?”

Swish!

Without another word, the man tossed a package at Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing took it and opened the package. There was a large Energy Gathering Stone inside.

And indeed, it weighed less than half a kilogram.

Moreover, this Energy Gathering Stone gave Su Jingxing a strange feeling.

Very comfortable?

Sleepy?

It is indeed strange.

“What do you think? Is everything okay?” urged the man. “If it’s fine, please transfer the money. This is my bank account.”

He tossed Su Jingxing another bank card.

While Su Jingxing caught it, he suddenly asked, “Where did you get this?”

“L picked it up by the river.”

‘The man blurted out. He only realized what he had said after. His face darkened and he snapped, “Why do you care where I got it? Just tell me straight if you don’t want it, I didn’t force you to buy it!”

His words were harsh.

If it were anyone else, they would have gotten into a fight by now.

However, Su Jingxing had bought Energy Gathering Stones several times before the New Year, and whenever he confirmed that they were authentic, he would immediately pay for them. As a result, his reputation was great.

High price, good reputation, and no nonsense.

‘Once the news spread, the subsequent sellers grew bolder.

‘They weren’t afraid that Su Jingxing, an expert, would attack them.

The same went for this man.

Su Jingxing listened to his heartbeat. Even though he realized that his heart was racing, he didn’t expose him.

He took out his phone and called Shen Qian, telling her to make payment.

Moments later, the man’s phone beeped.

He quickly opened the notification and was overjoyed when he saw a string of zeros.

“Haha, thanks!”

He excitedly put away his phone and left.

Su Jingxing remained in the same spot.

He held the strange Energy Gathering Stones in his hand and sensed for any abnormality. However, he didn’t find anything.

His detection range was fixed on the man’s whereabouts.

After a while, he put the Energy Gathering Stone in his palm space. With a flicker, he disappeared into the darkness.

Instead of returning to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he tailed the man.

I picked it up by the river!

These words contained a lot of information.

In Qinghe City, the “by the river” basically referred to the banks of the Sky Water River.

Due to the opening of the Mausoleum of Prince Qin, the river waters had surged and bubbled.

Just as a mysterious stone tablet emerged, someone now picked up a strange Energy Gathering Stone.

No one knew what lay ahead.

Su Jingxing’s intuition told him that the thin man had other things in his possession.

There is more than one strange Energy Gathering Stone?

This was why Su Jingxing decided to follow him.

This lasted for half an hour.

After leaving the square, the slim man got into a car. Seemingly afraid of being followed, he made a long detour around the Central, Southern, and Eastern Districts before arriving at a night market and entering a private room in a restaurant.

$u Jingxing locked onto his target and hid in the darkness behind the restaurant. He activated Advanced Hearing and listened in on their conversation.

The thin man was the loudest.

“Haha, brothers, we succeeded. He really bought it!”

“Really? Are you sure it’s five million dollars?”

“Do you think I’m lying? Here’s the transfer text notification. Before I came here, I checked at the bank. It’s indeed five million dollars. Not a cent more, not a cent less!”

“Good!”

“Great!”

The few people cheered excitedly. The sound of glasses clinking sounded through the air.

Gulp! Gulp! Everyone gulped down a large glass of wine.

Then, they continued to celebrate and discuss the topic.

“Even though we don’t know what these stones are, we are still making a killing if every one of them is sold for at least five million.”

“Yeah, that big client sure is straightforward. He paid up once he checked the stone.”

“That’s because he has too much money and nowhere to spend it. Of course, he’s also strong enough. I heard that he’s in the fourth-grade. He’s not afraid of extortion or dirty tricks!”

“Heh, if he wasn’t strong enough, would he have dared to make the deal alone?”

“That’s true. By the way, should we sell all our stones to him?”

“Hold on. Didn’t Old Wang entrust a stone to the Myriad Treasures Court? When the auction begins on the day after tomorrow’s auction begins, we’ll see the final price. If the proceeds from the auction are higher, we’ll auction them. If the price is lower, we’ll sell it to the mysterious buyer!”

“That’s right. This is called seizing both sides at once, maximizing the benefits!”

“You guys can wait then. Five million dollars is enough for me anyway.”

“Haha. Old Li, you regret selling the stone so early, don’t you? I told you to wait for two more days, but you wouldn’t listen. You were in a hurry to sell the stone. If the price at the auction is higher, you are going to cry.”

“It’s too early to tell who would cry now. All you want is to maximize your profits and wait for the results of Old Wang’s auction. However, if the price goes below one million dollars, do you think that mysterious client will still offer five million dollars?”

“Every time the Million Treasures Auction goes on an auction, all the major factions will pay attention to it. Given that person’s abilities, do you think he won’t go to the venue to spectate? Even if he doesn’t, won’t he know about the situation afterward?”

The room fell into silence.

That’s right.

They only thought of the good side, not the bad.

If the price was too low, the mysterious client who bought the Energy Gathering Stone would no longer buy more.

Five million dollars?

By then, they might not even get half a million dollars!

At the thought of this, Old Wang and the others hesitated, feeling frustrated.

“What do we do? What do we do now? Shall we sell them as soon as possible?”

“T still think we should wait.”

“I think we should sell them. Five million dollars is a lot.”

The few people got into an argument.

Listening to their conversation, Su Jingxing was equally shocked.

Firstly, he had guessed right.

There was more than one of these strange Energy Gathering Stones.

Secondly, a Energy Gathering Stone had been sent to the Myriad Treasures Court to be auctioned.

The Myriad Treasures Court wasn’t a small faction.

It was a large organization that had existed with a legacy of more than 300 years and spanned across more than 10 countries!
