Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 5 - 5 5 Gems All Over the Earth

As the saying goes, "Out of three hundred and sixty trades, excellence can be achieved in any trade." No matter what industry one is engaged in, as long as they reach the pinnacle, earning money won’t be difficult.

But to reach the pinnacle, it’s impossible without ten-odd years of effort, and Wu Xiaoyu doesn’t have that kind of time.

He needs to make quick money, to pay off his debts in the shortest time, to put his sister through school, and to bring wealth to this dilapidated family.

The only thing he can rely on is this mystical encounter tonight.

In the Immortal Realm Farm, there are not only all kinds of precious herbs but also various livestock and poultry.

Just bringing out a single item could exchange for a lot of silver.

But if he really brought out those arm-sized ginseng or umbrella-sized lingzhi to sell, it would likely cause a huge commotion, putting himself in great danger as well.

“A common man is innocent, but treasuring a jade ring is a crime.” If he took out those herbs to sell, it would be like a child holding gold in a marketplace.

If he sold those livestock and poultry, he would be reluctant.

After all, those creatures were raised on ginseng and lingzhi.

Selling them at ordinary prices would be like cutting off a piece of his own flesh.

After much deliberation, he couldn’t come up with a reliable idea.

Is he really going to starve to death while holding onto a gold mine?

Wu Xiaoyu invoked the spell to enter the world inside the Jade Token.

Although it was already deep into the night, inside it was still bright, with the Jin Wu hanging high, never falling.

“Oh crap!

Can you give me something reasonable?” Wu Xiaoyu was just about to catch a chicken when a few big roosters attacked him.

In the countryside, it’s not unusual for adult roosters to peck at people, but who has ever been chased by roosters spewing fire?

“Nima!

As the acting farm manager, do I have no authority?

Even a lousy little rooster dares to ambush me!

Just see if I don’t stew you alive in the future!” Escaping from the chicken, Zhang Dadan cursed a few times and wandered around again.

The world inside the Jade Token mainly divided into grassland, medicinal field, water source, and a thatched cottage.

The grassland was the activity space for various livestock.

He wouldn’t go there before formal cultivation, as it was clear he couldn’t handle those bizarre animals!

Now Wu Xiaoyu had completely abandoned the idea of selling those livestock.

Not to mention he couldn’t tame those chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle, and sheep; even if he could, he wouldn’t dare let those things out to cause trouble.

While wandering in the medicinal field, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly remembered the tablet at the water source, which was made of jade.

If he chipped off a small corner to sell, it could fetch a good price, right?

This spontaneous idea excited him immensely, and he ran towards the water source.

When he saw the human-sized piece of jade, he was so excited that his eyes gleamed.

He ran over and kissed the jade stone.

“Nima!

I’ve struck it rich!” With the newfound knowledge in his mind, he instantly recognized that this jade stone was a top-grade Chicken Blood Stone.

The blood content in the entire Chicken Blood Stone was above 80%, and the patterns were uniformly distributed.

Weighing several hundred kilograms, if taken out for sale, even if priced at several hundred million US dollars, it would be snatched up.

Even if he chipped off a thumb-sized piece to sell, it could fetch tens of thousands, more than enough to pay off his debt.

But should he really destroy this naturally crafted, invaluable piece of jade?

Wu Xiaoyu hesitated again; he found himself hesitating more times today than in the past decade.

A man should be decisive and straightforward, without hesitation or indecision.

This was his father’s consistent teaching, and he had always followed it.

But now, he was truly unsure.

For mere tens of thousands, should he ruin a ghostly crafted beautiful jade?

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed absurd.

“Forget it!

Damn it!

I won’t do it!” Wu Xiaoyu gritted his teeth and said.

Anyway, with this Jade Token, mountain beasts wouldn’t dare to invade him.

In the next few days, he would go to the deep mountains to see if he could find normal mountain treasures, maybe even a regular-sized ginseng.

After making a steadfast decision, Wu Xiaoyu leaned against the large Chicken Blood Stone to bask in the sun.

This kind of enjoyment was probably never experienced even by the wealthiest person in the world.

In his leisure, a light suddenly reflected from the mountain stream, hurting his eyes slightly.

Could there be another treasure here?

Wu Xiaoyu got up, waded through the small creek in front of him, and came to the mountain stream.

Only then did he see clearly that the dazzling light was reflected by jade stones.

“Oh my heavens!” Wu Xiaoyu gasped, his eyes impossibly wide.

Never before had he witnessed such a sight.

Jade stones of all kinds were scattered within the mountain stream, their surfaces slicked by the gurgling spring water.

Chicken Blood Stone, jade, agate, turquoise, rubies—an uncountable treasure trove lay before him.

“Holy cow!

I’m going to be rolling in dough!” Wu Xiaoyu couldn’t contain himself, grabbing handfuls of gems and letting them cascade over his body in a fit of unbridled delight.

After a brief, exhilarating moment, Wu Xiaoyu managed to regain a semblance of calm.

He understood that possessing a mountain of gems wouldn't allow him to simply live off the wealth indefinitely.

It wasn't due to a lack of foresight, but rather the practical reality: how could an ordinary person suddenly liquidate a vast quantity of precious stones without drawing unwanted attention?

Whose questions about the provenance of such immense wealth might lead to his imprisonment?

He had no desire to forfeit his life or his liberty over these glittering trinkets.

Furthermore, with the Xuanyuan Treasure Book and his extensive knowledge spanning medicine, divination, and astronomy, achieving fame and fortune was merely a matter of time.

So why the haste?

The immediate priority was to settle the exorbitant debt owed to Wang Erma, thereby preventing further harassment.

Wu Xiaoyu selected a piece of lustrous golden silk jade, tucking it into his pocket with the intention of selling it.

While not exceedingly rare, this particular grade of jade held considerable value, easily fetching tens of thousands.

Ten thousand was precisely what he needed to clear his debt, with ample left over to kickstart a modest business venture.

Having reached a decision, Wu Xiaoyu retreated from the water's edge, bestowing a final, affectionate pat upon the priceless Chicken Blood Stone before departing.

Despite the lateness of the hour, sleep eluded him; the sheer excitement coursing through his veins kept his nerves perpetually on edge.

He resolved to return to the thatched cottage and diligently practice the Yin Yang Longevity Technique.

This pursuit would not only grant him complete mastery over his newfound farm but also accelerate the healing process for his father’s persistent lung ailment.

Most crucially, he recognized the urgent need to cultivate strength swiftly.

Wealth, unaccompanied by a formidable power to protect it, could vanish in an instant.

To safeguard all that he cherished, he required a commensurate level of might.

For true power could indeed overwhelm a multitude of lesser skills!

With such a golden opportunity presented to him, how could he possibly find rest?
