The Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 139

“What?”
“This one is missing a leg! It won’t even stand upright, what use could it be?” Waltz spoke up, visibly confused.
Alex’s eyes lit up and replied calmly, “It’s the heaviest.”
Waltz was speechless. “I guess we’re buying the scrap metal then. Hey, Tobias, my brother wants the shabbiest one. What’s your price? Weigh it and get this over with.”
Alex smiled without saying a word, he was extremely excited.
The shabby alchemy stove may be missing a leg, but it was the best out of the three. He could feel a slight flow of energy within the stove. This indicates that this shabby stove could be a mystical object.
Tobias smiled. “Ms. Fleur, if your brother likes it, he can just take it, I won’t ask for money! This thing was a waste of space anyway. I would’ve thrown it out if the base wasn’t still intact.”
“Okay, I’ll be taking it then.”
The stove wasn’t big, yet it was quite heavy.

However, such weight was nothing to Alex.
Just as they were leaving the store, someone barged in and exclaimed excitedly. “Tobias, Tobias! We’re in the green! In the green! A glassy imperial jadeite, it’s quite ancient too! It’s going to be a big deal!”
Tobias’ face flushed from excitement. “Oh my god, really? A glassy jadeite too? How big is it? Where is it? Bring me to it now!”
Suddenly, Tobias snapped back to reality, he realized that the two powerful figures, Waltz and Alex were still in his store. He turned around and apologized. “Sorry, Ms. Fleur. I lost my senses for a second there.”
Waltz asked, “What were you guys talking about? What do you mean by ‘in the green’?”
Tobias replied, “That’s a slang within the stone gambling community. In the green means that someone found jadeite from the ores. A glassy imperial jadeite would be one of the best out there.”
‘Jadeites?’
Alex could feel his heart pounding harder.
He was able to absorb some Chi from a jade last time, helping him improve The Force to the third level. He was able to sense the Chi flowing within the jade, hence he was wondering if he could feel it within the ores as well.
With this thought still in mind, he turned to Waltz. “Waltz, I’m a little interested in stone gambling, can we go take a look too?”
Waltz wasn’t interested in any way.
Money didn’t even matter to her, let alone stone gambling.
The only thing she was interested in was martial arts.
However, since Alex was so enthusiastic in going, she couldn’t refuse.
