Chapter 65 Extreme Joy Begets Sorrows

Wang Ke saw a cloud of hazy white smog curling up the middle-level magic weapon in Xu Jingkai's hand. He also saw a trace of white smog wreathing the lines of one kind of Fengshui layouts which he could not recognize. This illusory sense made him have an illusion that his mind was attracted by it.

Wang Ke could see clearly that the white smog above that item was more than ten times thicker than that above the chair in his hand.

"Gee?"

Wang Ke was suddenly shocked because when the white smog flow had stopped, he saw red halos around the smog with his extraordinary vision. Besides, he looked through the smog and discovered that there were also traces of red rays in it.

What was going on?

How could the white smog contain some red color? What kind of spiritual energy existed in it?

His heart trembled slightly, and he felt puzzled in his mind.

Hiss...

Three or four seconds later, he suddenly gasped. That was because the spirit energy flowing into his eyes, even though it was under his control, was cut off, which made him haunted by a following feeling of powerlessness.

He had the prickling feeling again. Then, he closed his eyes subconsciously and covered his eyes with his hands.

A few seconds later, he wiped the water off his face unnoticed and looked at that middle-level magic weapon in Xu Jingkai's hand again.

As the spiritual energy in all the magic weapons that he had recognized was white smog, he could not understand why the spiritual energy in this magic weapon contained some red color.

Was that the color of the spiritual energy in the middle-level magic weapons different from that in the initial-level ones?

Wang Ke thought that to himself.

Xu Jingkai, who was standing very close to Wang Ke, lowered his head and had a look at the middle-level magic weapon in his hand. Then, his smile got brighter. He would have been a little regretful if he had bought a middle-level magic weapon with the absence of Wang Ke. In that case, he would not be able to disappoint Wang Ke and pour ridicule on him. However, he was fortunate that he found that Wang Ke also came there, which definitely made him feel comfortable.

Xu Jingkai raised his head again and found that no one around offered a price anymore. Instead of feeling anxious, he turned to Wang Ke and looked at him carefully with disdain. Then, he jeered, "Oh? You're Wang Ke, the clerk of Self House, aren't you? Well, I've heard that you also know some knowledge of magic weapons, and you're even gifted for antiques and magic weapons. I also heard that you often find undervalued treasures. Why do you carry a battered chair today? Is it also a magic weapon? Haha..."

Seeing that Wang Ke looked even worse, Xu Jingkai felt more delighted. He raised his hand holding the middle-level magic weapon and showed it off to Wang Ke. He laughed arrogantly and said, "Hey, boy. Look. Do you know what this is? Humph, I believe that you cannot recognize this valuable middle-level magic weapon even though I put it in front of your eyes, can you? Is this the first time that you see a middle-level magic weapon? Heh, heh. I think we do have some friendly relations. Therefore, if you want to buy it, I can offer you a cheap price! Two million yuan. As I'm happy now, if you want to buy it, I can sell it to you at two million yuan."

"Haha."

All the surrounding people burst into laughter.

They were all shrewd. Who could not easily know the provocative meaning in Xu Jingkai's words? Who could not perceive that Xu Jingkai and Wang Ke had born grudges against each other?

However, they did not care about their grudges. They only cared about that middle-level magic weapon in Xu Jingkai's hand.

Wang Ke's glance was cold. Looking at that complacent man Xu Jingkai indifferently, he said in a deep voice, "Xu Jingkai, you'd better not be that arrogant. Sometimes, if you're too arrogant, you'll know that extreme joy begets sorrows."

Xu Jingkai hummed with disdain and sneered, "So what? Someone is even not able to get sorrow resulting from extreme joy. If you can, try to find a middle-level magic weapon and show me. Can you?"

Wang Ke glared at Xu Jingkai and sneered inwardly. He did not further argue with Xu Jingkai anymore but chose to remain silent.

Seeing that Wang Ke grew silent, Xu Jingkai felt very comfortable. When he was about to say something, Mr. He standing next to him suddenly looked at Wang Ke and said:

"Young boy. May I have a look at that chair in your hand?"

Wang Ke stood still for a moment and then nodded. He handed the chair to Mr. He and said with some respect, "Please."

Mr. He was satisfied with Wang Ke's attitude. He took that chair and had a careful look at it for half a minute. Then, he said with a smile, "You're so lucky, young boy. This is a magic weapon of good quality. Good, pretty good."

Wang Ke had known that the chair was a magic weapon, so he did not show any surprise. However, those people around and that complacent man Xu Jingkai were all shocked, having flashes of incredibility in their eyes.

A battered chair was also a magic weapon?

"Sir, you got it, too. Yes. This is indeed a magic weapon!" Wang Ke said with a smile.

Mr. He nodded and gave the chair back to Wang Ke. He glanced at Xu Jingkai with deep eyes and then stopped talking.

Xu Jingkai was annoyed. He did not expect that when he was throwing cold water on Wang Ke happily, this old codger surnamed He broke in and personally said that the chair in Wang Ke's hand was also a magic weapon. This old codger was cutting the ground from under his feet, wasn't he?

Though he was resentful, he could not speak it out. After all, Mr. He was a geomancer of Yinyang Master. His level could not hold a handle to Mr. He's level. Besides, he also knew that Mr. He had a wide network of contacts. Many of the teachers he had followed to learn the knowledge of Fengshui were friends of Mr. He. If he offended him, he was afraid that his reputation in the world of Fengshui would be in tatters.

Suppressing the resentment in his heart, Xu Jingkai directed his gaze at Wang Ke and sneered, "Though initial-level magic weapons are also valuable, they are very common. There are some magic weapons in that big shop, aren't there? Well, it's just a fluke for you to get that chair. You do have some dumb luck."

Having finished his words, Xu Jingkai did not keep talking to Wang Ke. Instead, he shouted at the people around, "Anybody has a higher price? Seven hundred thousand is quite a lot. But, think about it. If someone who knows what's what is willing to spend more than one or two million yuan buying it from you, you will make a handsome profit, won't you? Who wants to increase the price?"

Wang Ke looked at Xu Jingkai with a cold smile. When he used the extraordinary vision just now, the spiritual energy in the middle-level magic weapon was billowing and trying to rush towards his eyes. However, at that time, he occupied himself in observation and did not absorb the spiritual energy. Now, he had no scruples.

Directing his gaze at that middle-level magic weapon in Xu Jingkai's hand, Wang Ke felt a move in his heart.

"Absorb it!"

Immediately, he had a mysterious feeling just like what he had when he used the extraordinary vision. In an instant, his eyes had a refreshing feeling. Some milky white smog burst out of his body from the fingernail-sized space at the center of his eyebrows. Under his control, the smog shot towards the middle-level magic weapon in Xu Jingkai's hand.

This fantastic relation made Wang Ke excited inwardly.

The smog invisible to the n***d eyes quickly flowed into that space at the center of Wang Ke's eyebrows along that trace of milky white smog.

Time went by. As the spiritual energy in a middle-level magic weapon was thick, Wang Ke had to absorb it slowly. Another scruple of him was that there was a Yinyang Master.

He was not sure whether that Yinyang Master was able to perceive that he was absorbing the spiritual energy in that middle-level magic weapon.

Xu Jingkai raised the middle-level magic weapon in his hand. He had decided that if he could not sell it at one million two hundred thousand yuan, he would not sell it. He would take it back and give it to his father. He believed that his father was able to sell it at one million two hundred thousand yuan by virtue of his ability.

After Xu Jingkai's shout, some people offered their prices. However, the final price was only one million yuan.

Xu Jingkai had some disappointment in his eyes. He shook his head and said, "One million yuan is not enough. I can sell it at no less than one million two hundred thousand yuan. If someone would like to offer a price of one million two hundred thousand yuan, I'll sell it. If not, I could only be sorry for that."

Those people around looked at each other, but no one would like to stand out to spend one million two hundred thousand yuan buying that middle-level magic weapon.

In fact, it was not because that middle-level magic weapon was not worth being sold at one million two hundred thousand yuan. It was because that so far, people had not been absolutely sure whether that magic weapon was a middle-level one.

Didn't that Yinyang Master say that just now? Even he was not absolutely sure about it!

Seeing that the Yinyang Master did not offer his price anymore, those people also did not want to be taken for a ride. If they bought it and found that it was not a genuine middle-level magic weapon later, they would lose a lot of money, wouldn't they?

Xu Jingkai did not stay there for too long. As he did not manage to sell that middle-level magic weapon at a satisfactory price, he just put it away. He gave a cold hum to Wang Ke with disdain and then turned on his heel and left.

Wang Ke followed Xu Jingkai walking four to five steps and then stopped. It needed a long time to absorb the spiritual energy in that middle-level magic weapon. Thus, he had not finished it when Xu Jingkai turned to leave. Then, he followed Xu Jingkai walking a few steps, managing to absorb all the spiritual energy in that middle-level magic weapon.

Wang Ke sneered and then shouted at Xu Jingkai's back, "Xu Jingkai, greed has no limits. Even one million could not satisfy you. Be careful not to get sorrow from extreme joy!"

Xu Jingkai stopped and turned to give Wang Ke a stare. Then, he walked away without a backward glance.

Seeing that the people gradually dispersed, Wang Ke looked a little strange. As he had just absorbed the spiritual energy in that middle-level magic weapon, he indistinctly felt that he would have a breakthrough of his cultivation stage.

He could even see that the milky white smog had taken up less than half of the fingernail-sized space at the center of his eyebrows, which demonstrated that his spiritual strength had increased by at least ten times.

The surging spirit energy was circulating frantically in the meridians in his body. Even without his deliberate control, it still flowed like a runaway horse, following the operation route of the third stage in Dragon's Momentum.

All the internal organs in his body integrated with the spiritual energy that he had just absorbed. He could clearly perceive that his internal organs had been strengthened. So had his muscles, vessels, and bones.

He was confident that now he was twice as powerful as he was a few minutes ago.

Having turned around and found his ways, Wang Ke quickly stepped towards Fuxuan Hall carrying that chair magic weapon. Thanks to the increase of his spirit energy, he felt that he would have a breakthrough in his cultivation. Therefore, he must go quickly to sell that chair magic weapon and go back to cultivate himself.

However, he could only get a reasonable price without much bargaining from Bai Ruochen of Fuxuan Hall. As for Mr. Zhao, Zhao Menfeng of Self House, Wang Ke still did not want to burden him.
