A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 25 The Test at Stone Gamble Town

Stone Gamble Town attracted many stone gamblers. They were willing to come from afar just to experience the feeling of winning or losing it all.

As the car drove on the highway, William drove around 80 miles per hour. After two and a half hours, he stopped at the gates of Stone Gamble Town. The gate was massive, and two jade lions that were almost two feet tall were on each side of the gate.

Many luxury cars were parked by the entrance, so William’s Audi S5 wasn’t particularly eye–catching.

After he parked his car, he dialed Tia’s number. When Tia heard that he had arrived, she smiled and said, “Wait for me, William. I’m going to pick you up.”

A few minutes later, a shuttle bus came out from the gate. Tia was sitting in the car as she waved at

William.

As William sat beside her, he asked. “Were you here early?”

“No, I just arrived too. Come on, let’s go meet my dad and the others.” Tia smiled.

The shuttle bus drove past a green environment and arrived at a three–story building. The first floor was a buffet and lounge, and inside the lounge sat a few men. When Tia led William toward them, a middle- aged man stood up and approached William. Then, he extended his hand before standing in front of him. “We’ve finally met, William!”

William was surprised when he saw how enthusiastic the man was. Are we on such close terms? he thought.

Tia glared at her father and said, “William, this is my Dad. Turner Lloyd.”

“Hello, Mr. Lloyd.” William greeted.

Turner chuckled and said, “You look handsome, William. You looked like me when I was younger.”

“You flatter me, Mr. Lloyd. William smiled.

“Hurry up and come in. Let me introduce you to my friends. Then, he dragged William to the lounge. Among the couches arranged in a circle, he pointed at a man in his fifties who was wearing a white shirt. “This is the expert in stone gambling, Henry Ryeman!”

William nodded and greeted him.

Then, Turner pointed at a middle–aged man who had a short crop. “This is Ronne Lock!”

When Ronne heard Turner’s introduction, he stood up and extended his right hand, wanting to shake hands with William. Hence, William reached out and grabbed his hand. In that split second, he felt a wave of strong energy emitting from Ronne.

“Huh? It looks like he also has Qi. However, it is impure!” Immediately, William knew how strong Ronne was. Although Ronne was a Qi State master, his Qi was impure.
