A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 69 Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors

“Tia, just because William got lucky and got a few nice stones last time doesn’t mean he’ll be as lucky this time. We need the real masters when it comes to stone gambling”

Josh pointed at the table where he had been sitting. “See that? I managed to invite Misty Nightingale and The Oracle, two of the country’s best stone–gambling experts to this event.

Tia was slightly surprised upon hearing that. “Wow, you actually invited two big shots. It looks like you’re going to be betting big this time.”

He smirked. “Haven’t you heard? The Jade King is finally letting us see what’s in Courtyard No. 9 today.”

She seemed to recall something, so she said, “Yeah, I recall that the Jake King will only sell raw stones from. Courtyard No. 9 once every ten years. These raw stones have long mining histories, which means that they are also incredibly expensive. No wonder there are so many people today.”

“Exactly, I’ve prepared 450 million Igneus Talons today to get a few Stone Kings! Josh exclaimed.

The “Stone King” Josh was referring to were raw stones with a unit price exceeding 15 million. These raw stones had been mined a long time ago, and each had its own name. Many Stone Kings were only exhibited once every few years.

Tia smiled but said nothing. She knew William was a skilled expert at stone gambling, and naturally, the skills of the Misty Nightingale and The Oracle were inferior to his.

“Well, good luck to you,” she simply said.

Somehow, Josh laughed. “Tia, I can ask them to look out for good stones for you if you want.”

“Thanks,” she replied firmly. “But I trust William’s skills.”

He sneered upon hearing her reply. “Stone Gamble Town can’t be compared to this place. He won’t be so lucky this time if it boils down to choosing a Stone King.”

William was just standing next to Tia and did not intend to say anything. However, his patience was wearing thin after hearing Josh constantly belittling him. So, he decided to throw his weight around. “Mr. Young, I’d advise you to get some urgent medical attention soon. Otherwise, you’ll be dealing with some serious late–stage complications.”

Josh’s face turned pale in an instant; he was shocked. How does William know about my illness? A month ago, he pursued a famous model, who had an amazing figure, and he just could not get enough of her. After spending half a month with her, he felt that he wasn’t feeling well; he had a painful sensation when urinating. So, he went for a medical check–up and was diagnosed with syphilis. He was currently undergoing drug treatment.

“You b*stard, stop talking nonsense! What late stage? What are you talking about?” Josh retorted angrily.

He merely replied
