106: Chapter 106 Reckless and Unaware of Death

With a few light strokes of the waiter's small knife, a god-gambling stone was easily unraveled.

Instantly, a dense aura of life gushed out from the stone, splashing in all directions like a clear spring.

That small face was filled with surprise and excitement, and a voice shouted with a slight tremble, "Congratulations, honored guest! You've obtained a Low Grade Divine Herb—the life-extending divine grass!"

Everyone was shocked by the sound, their gazes turning toward the god-gambling stone. A small green grass lay quietly inside, like a sleeping spirit, emitting a faint glow.

It was the legendary life-extending divine grass, possessing miraculous medicinal effects that could prolong life and restore vitality.

Cao Yang carefully examined the small grass, thinking it was quite good. He knew the value of this life-extending divine grass; while it was undoubtedly a massive gain for others, it was just so-so for him, as his lifespan was infinite.

Beside him, Chu Yueer was also full of joy, her eyes sparkling with delight. She said excitedly, "Congratulations, Brother Cao! To think you could obtain such a precious Divine Herb!"

The surrounding people were also shaken, whispering to one another as discussions rose and fell.

After all, Divine Herb was no ordinary thing; even a Low Grade one was an extremely rare treasure. Someone said enviously, "This Young Master has such good luck, obtaining a Divine Herb as soon as he arrived!"

Another person chimed in, "Yes, indeed. Such good luck is truly enviable."

Someone else sighed, "Sigh, why don't I have such luck? I've been opening stones here for several days but haven't gained a thing."

...

"Yueer, it's time for yours. I believe your luck will be even better."

Cao Yang's lips curled up slightly into a faint smile as he spoke softly.

"Alright, Brother Cao," Chu Yueer responded with a smile, her voice soft and pleasant.

"Please open mine," Chu Yueer said gently, turning to the waiter.

The waiter nodded, picked up his small knife, and began to carefully cut open the god-gambling stone.

As the knife moved, the god-gambling stone suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light, like a brilliant sun rising, illuminating the entire space. This bright golden beam shot into the sky like lightning, its intensity so strong that the surrounding people could hardly bear it and were unable to open their eyes.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper's expression changed drastically. He hurried down the stairs from the upper floor, quickly walked to the waiter's side, and took the god-gambling stone from his hands.

A trace of imperceptible greed flashed in his eyes, but he quickly masked it, a warm smile reappearing on his face.

"Congratulations, honored guest! You have obtained a Medium Grade Divine Artifact—the Moon-Eroding Divine Needle!" the shopkeeper excitedly congratulated Empress Mingyue.

Empress Mingyue was full of joy as she carefully took the divine needle. This divine needle looked exquisite and small, only as thick as a middle finger, shimmering with a golden light as if emitting endless mysterious power. On the body of the needle, four characters "Moon-Eroding Divine Needle" were engraved, the script elegant and fluid, revealing an ancient and mysterious aura.

Seeing this, the surrounding crowd erupted into a commotion, whispering and discussing fervently. Some couldn't help but show envy and jealousy, while others silently left the shop, clearly realizing this was not a place they could get involved in.

Afterward, everyone continued to watch with great interest as the remaining two god-gambling stones were opened. However, luck seemed slightly worse this time, as only two precious Top Grade immortal medicines were obtained. Nevertheless, this still left those present in awe. After all, even if they were just Top Grade immortal medicines, they were extremely rare treasures.

Watching Cao Yang and his companion walk out of the shop, the shopkeeper nodded toward a private room upstairs.

"Yueer, your luck is truly exploding. Even I don't have luck as good as yours. My Yueer is so amazing," Cao Yang praised with a look of delight.

"Mhm, today's luck was indeed good. However, Brother Cao, I noticed some people slipped out quietly earlier. I'm afraid our journey might not be so peaceful," Empress Mingyue said with some joy, but a hint of worry also appeared in her eyes.

"It's fine, Yueer. They won't be able to disturb us. Don't you know my strength?" Cao Yang said nonchalantly.

"I naturally believe in you, Brother Cao. It's just that cultivation isn't easy. Sigh, truly, men die for wealth. What a pity," Empress Mingyue lamented.

At the same time, hundreds of millions of miles away from Cao Yang's pair, five groups of masked men in black silently lost their lives.

Among one of the groups was the shopkeeper. His eyes were wide open; he had clearly died with his eyes wide open!

These men in black were the same ones from the shop earlier. They had originally intended to tail Cao Yang and Empress Mingyue to snatch the treasures in their hands.

However, they never expected to suffer such a sudden attack. Their corpses lay on the ground, and the surroundings were deathly silent.

This slaughter happened so quickly and silently, as if everything was hidden in the darkness.

No one knew who had done it, nor did anyone know what secrets were hidden behind it.
