Ghost Catching System

Du Mao and He Yunpeng went to select stones, targeting materials valued over twenty billion.

He Yunpeng sat cross-legged, his hands began to form seals, and his two disciples started to set up the altar, drawing attention with such a grand setup.

Someone asked in confusion, "What is Master He doing?"

Someone replied, "Don't you know? Master He controls a technique called Heaven and Earth Mysterious Stone Technique, which can predict the type of stone in the material."

That person exclaimed, "Predict the type of stone? Doesn't that mean he's sure to win?"

"You must be an outsider, if only it were that easy. While the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Stone Technique can predict the type of stone, the materials in the exhibition are somewhat special and possess deceptive qualities."

Can materials be deceptive?

Guo Xin didn't quite understand either, and asked, "Grandpa, why are the materials here so special?"

Old Guo said, "Legend has it that a forbidden battle once occurred at the Tianqiong Vein, where a fierce Ancient Holy Stone Spirit emerged, causing chaos, before it was suppressed by several ancient powers!"

Guo Xin exclaimed, "A forbidden ancient battle, Grandpa, you're not talking about that forbidden history, are you?"

Old Guo nodded slightly and said, "Although the ancient powers won that battle, they couldn't kill the Ancient Holy Stone Spirit and could only suppress it deep within the Tianqiong Vein with a powerful seal."

Guo Xin said, "I know about that battle, it almost led to the destruction of Tianqiong Province. I always thought those were just ancient mythical tales, but didn't expect them to be true."

Old Guo said, "Since then, the mineral materials from the Tianqiong Vein have held mysterious properties, masking Yin-Yang essences, which makes these materials unique.

He Yunpeng, meanwhile, was solemnly setting up the altar.

Du Mao's setup was no less grand than He Yunpeng's, with both engrossed in arranging their altars.

The ground of the altar, covered by the masters, was filled with various inscriptions and symbols, making even the Yin-Yang Practitioners dazzled.

"It's so complex, but can it really feel the type of stone inside the material?" A young man asked.

A middle-aged man said, "It depends on one's understanding of materials and stone types, these two are clearly using their expertise."

While the two masters had grand setups, what about Chu Hao?

He Yunpeng saw Chu Hao standing in front of the altar he set up, seemingly leisurely watching.

Seeing Chu Hao like this, everyone found it peculiar.

"What's this guy doing? Shouldn't he be selecting materials now? It seems like this gamble has nothing to do with him."

Someone laughed and said, "Probably gave up. After all, he's wagering on stone with Mount Tai North Star, he knows his limits."

"What's this guy really doing?"

Even Old Guo and others were puzzled, as Chu Hao didn't select materials but instead wandered around interestedly.

Jiang Haoyue sneered, "I knew he didn't understand. Previously, he was just pretending. He must be terrified when it comes to the real contest."

Beside him, Old Guo laughed and said, "Young man, a five billion bet is not a joke. Zhang Han must have his ideas."

Guo Xin couldn't help but walk up and ask, "Zhang Han, aren't you going to select materials?"

Chu Hao said, "No need, I've already looked."

The crowd: "??????"

Someone laughed and said, "He's really confident. Did anyone see him looking at the materials? He's been here the whole time."

"Today's young people are either crazy or their brains are off. I suspect it's the latter; he must be mentally ill," someone said.

Shen Qian frowned too, puzzled by what Chu Hao was doing with such a big bet—was he just here to play around?

Jiang Haoyue sneered, "Overestimating himself."

Chu Hao didn't respond to anyone but watched He Yunpeng and Du Mao set up altars and laughed, "Interesting. Do you all get so exhausted gambling on stones?"

He Yunpeng was speechless, almost distracted.

"Hey kid, don't disturb the master," someone said discontentedly.

Chu Hao didn't turn back and said, "Don't disturb me either, can't you see I'm serious?"

The person sneered and said, "You serious? Don't joke around. Looks like you've admitted defeat."

"Yes, better admit defeat early. How dare you wager stones with the masters? Overestimating yourself," said someone who was a fan of Du Mao, showing disdain towards Chu Hao.

Chu Hao simply replied, "A bunch of ignorant bumpkins."

"Ding… Pretentiousness Points increased by 60,000."

Damn?

He actually called us bumpkins?

With one sentence, he insulted the person speaking sarcastically.

"Hmph, watch him lose later."

Someone stirred in the crowd, saying, "This kid doesn't understand gambling on stones at all; he just wants to get attention by borrowing the masters' reputation."

"Exactly, get out of here."

"Leave, are you even worthy of gambling on stones? Don't insult the masters' reputation."

More people started shouting, with no favorable impression of Chu Hao, thinking he was just messing around.

An elderly person also said, "At a young age, playing these tricks, indeed overthinking it."

Du Mao Master sneered, he didn't care about Chu Hao in this gamble; his only opponent was He Yunpeng.

The people behind kept taunting; do you think Brother Hao is a pushover?

Chu Hao turned back and said, "Who told me to get out? Step forward."

A young man stepped forward, sneering, "It's me, isn't it? People like you just want to use the masters' reputation to gain attention. Do you understand what gambling on stones means? Don't insult the term."

"Idiot," Chu Hao said.

The young man was furious, "You!"

Chu Hao retorted, "What do you mean 'you'? You think you're qualified to speak here? Who's gambling, me or you?"

"How about you gamble with me? If I win this, you give me ten billion. You look like the broke type, ten billion should be enough."

Damn?

Ten billion?

The young man gasped, but someone whispered to him, "Gamble with him, I'll give you the money, but make him leave Holy City, never set foot in it again."

Someone spoke, and the young man was confident, "Gamble then, but if you lose, you have to give me ten billion, and leave Holy City, not a single step inside."

The crowd looked at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Zhang Qiyu."

Chu Hao said, "I'll remember you, don't run later."

The young man snorted.

Chu Hao glanced around and said, "Anyone else want to gamble? Those shouting for me to leave weren't they enthusiastic just now?"

"You, you, and you." Chu Hao pointed at three people.

The three included two young men and a middle-aged man, who looked quite impressive.

The middle-aged man said calmly, "You want to gamble like this?"

Chu Hao sized him up, saying, "You seem rich, let's bet a hundred billion."

The middle-aged man was speechless.

Betting a hundred billion casually, you really dare to say it.
