Chapter 161 Teleportation Stone

He reached out to grab Chen Yuyi. Before his hand could even touch Chen Yuyi, a sudden numbness shot through his arm, rendering his entire body completely immobile. At the same time, a bone-chilling cold surged straight into his core, leaving him frozen in shock.

This young man was no novice. The moment this happened, he instantly realized that whatever little tricks he possessed were utterly laughable compared to the person before him.

The person who had bullied Wu Sisi was unquestionably an expert—and an expert far more formidable than he could ever imagine. To encounter such a master at an exhibition like this made cold sweat break out across the young man's back.

When Chen Yuyi looked back, the person who had bought the stone had already vanished with it. His eyebrows twitched slightly.

He shot a glare at Wu Sisi, then walked out of the exhibition hall.

Under that single glare, the hairs on Wu Sisi's body stood on end, and she couldn't help trembling from head to toe.

The young man walked up to her and said, "Sisi, do you know this person? I can tell he's extraordinary, but don't worry, I will definitely get even for you."

A look of resentment surfaced on the young man's face. Just because he couldn't deal with such a person didn't mean others couldn't.

"He seems to be Tang Miaoyi's boyfriend, though I'm not entirely sure. I've only ever seen Tang Miaoyi with him."

"Alright, let me help you back to rest," the young man said, supporting Wu Sisi as they too left the exhibition hall.

When Tang Miaoyi came running back excitedly, she found that Chen Yuyi was no longer there. A wave of disappointment washed over her, but figuring that Mr. Chen might have gone off to attend to some business, she didn't dwell on it too much. After all, she would see him again first thing tomorrow morning.

With that thought, she didn't linger any longer and headed home.

After leaving the exhibition hall, Chen Yuyi followed behind the person who had purchased the stone.

He wanted to know why this person had also set their sights on that particular stone. Even average practitioners of the Dharma couldn't perceive anything unusual about it, and ordinary people would simply treat it as a common rock. Even those who enjoyed collecting various stones would find no collection value in this one whatsoever.

However, Chen Yuyi knew that this stone harbored a trace of spatial power within it.

The Flood Dragon King had once told him about a certain mineral containing spatial power. Infusing materials possessing this spatial power into the Great Luo Astrolabe could activate its teleportation function. Then, by fueling it with a massive amount of White Sun Pills, a person could be instantly transported anywhere at will. It was practically like taking a private jet—no, even a jet took time; this kind of teleportation was instantaneous shifting. How could Chen Yuyi not be tempted?

Unfortunately, he had been momentarily blocked by that hateful woman, otherwise he would have beaten that person to the punch and bought the teleportation stone—let's just call it the teleportation stone for now.

It didn't matter, though. No matter what, he was determined to secure this teleportation stone; it would simply require a bit more effort.

"My friend, you've been following me all this time. May I ask what your purpose is?" Just as they entered an underground parking garage, the stone buyer suddenly stopped, turned around, and spoke toward Chen Yuyi's direction. As it turned out, the person had long since noticed they were being tailed.

Of course, this was also partly due to Chen Yuyi deliberately letting his presence be known.

Although the person was wearing a cap, their features were striking and exceptionally handsome, with clear, bright eyes. If not for the masculine attire, this person would undoubtedly have been an absolute peerless beauty.

Chen Yuyi smiled faintly. "Little sister, would you mind letting me have the stone you just bought?"

The young man was startled. "I am clearly a man. Why are you calling me little sister?"

"Does a man use perfume that smells like this? Hmm, and if I'm not mistaken, that perfume is called Dreamy Charm, isn't it? How could any man possibly use such a fragrance?"

Chen Yuyi said with a light smile. He hadn't expected that he would actually smell Dreamy Charm, a perfume produced by Shen Zhujun's company, in another city, and he couldn't help but feel amused.

The young man was even more shocked, appearing somewhat cautious. "Who on earth are you? Why have you taken a fancy to this stone?"

Then, "he" glanced around nervously. "Could it be that you were sent by them?"

Suddenly, a flash of cold light appeared in his hand, hurtling straight toward Chen Yuyi's throat.

Chen Yuyi smiled faintly. Without even shifting his posture, two fingers snapped shut, instantly catching the gleaming dagger. "I mean no harm. I merely wish to talk to you."

The young man tried to move his hand holding the dagger, but found himself completely immobilized. "What on earth do you want?"

"Didn't I already say? Hand over the stone you're holding to me. As for the price, I will make you satisfied."

Chen Yuyi loosened his fingers, and the young man instinctively stumbled backward two steps.

As he did, the cap on his head fell off, revealing a cascade of long, raven-black hair.

"This is nothing more than an ordinary stone. What use do you have for it?"

"Ordinary? Then why were you so nervous about getting it?" Chen Yuyi asked with an ambiguous smile.

In truth, this girl possessed decent martial arts skills, but unfortunately, she had run into Chen Yuyi.

At that moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed from nearby.

The girl's expression changed drastically. For reasons even she couldn't explain, she snapped a sharp command at Chen Yuyi: "Get in the car!"

With that, she swiftly pulled open the door of a Land Rover.

Chen Yuyi smiled faintly and, without a word, climbed into her vehicle.

The girl immediately turned the ignition, slammed on the gas pedal in one fluid motion, and rapidly sped away from the spot.

The people who had been trailing them immediately jumped into several cars and gave chase.

"Just what kind of person are you?" the girl asked involuntarily while driving.

"Didn't I already tell you? I'm just someone looking to make a trade with you. As long as you let me have that stone, I can help you with anything!" Chen Yuyi leaned back against the seat, looking completely unruffled.

"Anything? Who do you think you are?"

A trace of disdain curled the corners of the girl's lips. Yet, recalling how her own surprise attack moments earlier had been blocked by this person without the slightest effort, she couldn't help nursing some doubts. Could this person genuinely be a master? That was precisely the main reason she had yelled at him to get in the car when she fled—if he truly was an expert, he might just be able to help her out.

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that as long as you give me that stone, I can resolve any trouble for you!" Chen Yuyi said calmly with a smile.

"Resolve any trouble?" The girl fell slightly deep into thought.

"By the way, how did you manage to set your sights on that stone?" Chen Yuyi asked, curiosity getting the better of him.

"There's no need for you to know that. However, this stone is of vital importance to me, and I cannot give it to you!"

"Oh, what use does it have for you?"

"To save someone!"

"To save someone?" Chen Yuyi shook his head slightly. A stone containing spatial power had no healing properties whatsoever, which only made him more curious. "How could it save someone?"

The girl cast a suspicious glance at him. "You don't even know what this stone does, so why do you want it?"

"I'm merely curious. Who told you that this stone has healing capabilities?"

"An old servant in my family." For reasons unknown to herself, facing Chen Yuyi made her inclined to answer whatever he asked.

"Then how did he teach you to recognize this stone?" Chen Yuyi's voice followed up.

"He gave me a sensory talisman. Whenever I encountered the stone I needed, the talisman would alert me. Because of that, I've visited quite a few raw stone markets, and today, as luck would have it, I finally crossed paths with it," the girl replied after a moment of thought.

Chen Yuyi nodded. So that was how it was. There truly was an expert guiding her from behind the scenes.

"If I help you save the person, will you give me this stone?"

Had Chen Yuyi wanted to take it by force, it would have been effortless. However, that did not align with his code of conduct. Moreover, he could hardly be considered an ordinary mortal anymore, making him even less inclined to stoop to such behavior. Of course, if the other party had been an evil person, he wouldn't have hesitated to resort to it.

Yet, this girl did not seem like a bad person, and she was currently being hunted down, which made him willing to acquire the teleportation stone through a legitimate transaction.

"You can't save them!" the girl said, shaking her head.

"Why?" Chen Yuyi couldn't help but be amused. Was there really anyone in this world he couldn't save?

"Because my grandfather is already a dead man. Unless an immortal descends from the heavens, the only reason I am taking this Yin Spirit Stone back is to summon the old man's soul so that his spirit can return and prove that I am the rightful heir of our family!"

"A Yin Spirit Stone?"
