Especially Ji Shen.

When he discovered the presence of Dragon Saliva Mint in the Divine Stone, the only worry in Ji Shen's heart was completely put to rest, and now his heart was swelling to the extreme.

Even if those prodigies from the family came to the Divine Stone Workshop to select Divine Stones, they probably wouldn't be able to directly choose the Dragon Saliva Mint, right?

Yet he found the Dragon Saliva Mint directly.

But the person competing against him says that his stone can be mined to produce something more precious than Dragon Saliva Mint?

Simply ridiculous.

This time.

Even before Ji Shen could speak, the magicians surrounding them had spontaneously spoken up, directing taunts at Wang Ye.

"Are you too naive? You actually think your rough stone can produce something more precious than Dragon Saliva Mint? Simply wishful thinking."

"If you don't know the importance of Dragon Saliva Mint, that's one thing, but we've been discussing its importance and preciousness nonstop. Saying that is truly arrogant."

"The results have already been revealed. Let's be honest with you; every one of us here was initially attracted to your rough stone. But why did we give up? Because we saw that this stone is merely superficial. Its exterior might look good, but it doesn't have anything inside."

"Do you think you're clever enough to pick up a bargain? You're too naive! There are many magicians stronger than you, and if there were truly something good, it would have been taken by others long ago. It wouldn't be waiting for you to discover it."

A flood of mocking voices surged toward Wang Ye like waves.

Ji Shen, hearing so many people speaking on his behalf, observed Wang Ye's expression and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

"Ahem."

Ji Shen lightly coughed.

The magicians, upon hearing Ji Shen's cough, all fell silent, waiting for Ji Shen to speak.

After all, Ji Shen was the one who could find Dragon Saliva Mint in a rough stone. If they could get along well with Ji Shen, they'd likely gain considerable benefits.

Even without benefits, boasting about this achievement would certainly bring significant advantages.

Seeing the crowd quiet down with just a cough, Ji Shen felt even more smug.

Though he belonged to the Ji Family, his status was not high, so even the servants of the Ji Family were merely polite to him superficially.

Such prestige.

Is present now.

Ji Shen put on a polite demeanor and smiled at Wang Ye, saying, "You've heard from so many people now, haven't you? Our match has concluded, and you've lost."

"I don't take the things you said earlier to heart. Since we're friends, just pay the price for the Divine Stone I purchased, and give me your rough stone as well, and we'll call it even. Our bet can end here."

"After all, your rough stone only has some superficial quality. Once it's cut, you'll find it's actually just worthless material. Embarrassing!"

"Just give it to me, and you won't have to embarrass yourself, how about that?"

Ji Shen was quite polite.

In his view, he was giving Wang Ye a lot of face.

Wang Ye looked at Ji Shen with a smile, even showing some gratitude.

Just when Ji Shen thought Wang Ye was about to agree, Wang Ye cheerfully replied to Ji Shen, "My Divine Stone hasn't even been cut, and you're saying I've lost?"

"How could your face be so big?"

Though Wang Ye was smiling, his words were entirely impolite, causing Ji Shen to be slightly taken aback, with a trace of anger rising in his heart.

"Money Leopard! Don't think just because your name is Money Leopard, you can bring wealth!"

Angered by Wang Ye, Ji Shen no longer maintained appearances with him, especially since their bet involved people from the Divine Stone Workshop.

Even if Wang Ye wanted to back out, it would be useless.

No need to consider his attitude towards Wang Ye.

Directly scolded him, "In reality, you're just a worthless nobody! I'm not letting it be cut as a favor to you! To spare you the embarrassment later!"

"Alright then, if you insist on embarrassing yourself, and if you're so stubborn, let's have a cutter check it out and let everyone see whether your rough stone is actually worthless!"

"Alright."

Wang Ye's face remained calm.

Smiling broadly.

Showing no anger despite Ji Shen's insults.

He focused on the cutter, instructing him, "Go ahead and cut."

"Ha!"

Ji Shen sneered.

If Wang Ye wanted to cut it, then let him cut.

After all, it would be Wang Ye who embarrassed himself.

Not him.

However.

Just after Ji Shen sneered, he felt as though a giant axe was descending upon his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to cleave through his entire Sea of Consciousness.

A splitting headache.

"Ah!"

A painful scream slipped from Ji Shen's lips, with the sense of his Sea of Consciousness creating a feeling of excruciating pain in his head.

He clutched his head, bending over in agony.

A moment later, unable to control the pain even while bending over, Ji Shen collapsed directly onto the ground.

The surrounding magicians, initially focused on Ji Shen due to the good results from his cut, began to show concern seeing Ji Shen this way.

"What's happening to him?"

"Could it be because he exhausted too much Divine Sense while searching for the Divine Stone?"

"It's possible, especially since picking a stone containing Dragon Saliva Mint from so many is surely exceptionally challenging."

Upon this realization, the magicians became more reassured.

If so, there was no need to worry excessively.

Simply wait for the depleted Divine Sense to recover naturally.

Wang Ye's face remained smiling.

Too much Divine Sense exhaustion?

Of course not.

It was merely some of his little tricks.
