This was exactly the kind of amber on which they were gambling here .

“He, he . ” Jiang Chen could not help but burst out laughing . The Golden Eyes had the third eye . They could see through everything in the world . It was obviously a trick for them to get into the business of amber; even though some said amber had such a wonderful energy that no one could see what they had inside . Some said even the Golden Eyes could not either . However, they had discovered the hiding formation deployed by Jiang Chen . As a result, Jiang Chen had fear of the Golden Eyes’ third eye .
Seeing the amber on the table out of the corner of his eye when leaving, he involuntarily was tempted .
“My client, do you want to join this gambling?” Xi Han asked him . Somehow, she had ended up right next to him .
“You Golden Eyes have great abilities . You take a look at the amber with your third eye and remove those with valuable treasures inside . Then you put the empty ones up for sale . What a good business,” Jiang Chen said .
He made all the Golden Eyes unhappy . The seniors sitting at the table also turned to look at him, surprisingly, with disdain .
“My client, are you trying to irritate us?” Xi Han asked in a casual way .
Jiang Chen was shocked . This woman was really smart . She saw through his ploy .
“Miss, did you fly off the handle?” Jiang Chen asked .
“He, he, my client, if you don’t want to have fun on Golden Ship, you can just leave . Before you leave, I also have to tell you that just a couple of days ago, someone got a valuable treasure from an amber . ” Xi Han had stopped being polite to him . She said, “My client, you are not the only one who knows we are the Golden Eyes . Do you think other people of the Realm of True Force are stupid?”

“Miss, cool off . ” Seeing her speaking so much at once, Jiang Chen shook his head . He walked up to the table, intending to join the betting .
There were hundreds of different sizes and colors of amber on the table . They were not as transparent as average amber . It was impossible to see clearly what was inside, maybe an outline at most . However, in most cases, the so-called outline was just dirt inside .
“This is not for young people . Get lost!” Someone sitting at the table said aggressively, unhappy with Jiang Chen’s pride .
Star Venerable . Looking toward him, Jiang Chen saw through his state . He was surprised that a Star Venerable would find charm at Golden Ship . However, others took his reaction as the intimidation caused by the Star Venerable .
“Huh . ” The Star Venerable snorted complacently, waiting for Jiang Chen to leave .
“It is pure luck . What’s it to do with age? All amber-picking methods will turn out to be Dark Learning in the end,” Jiang Chen said .
The Star Venerable’s face fell immediately, but he did not do anything . He just bore in mind the youngster’s face . In case they ran into each other in the future, he would not mind teaching the youngster a lesson .
“If you are so great, find a treasure in the amber,” Tang Tianjun shouted from a distance, as if he had not been beaten up enough . He drew people’s attention to Jiang Chen again . Surprised to see the maniac Jiang Chen standing at the amber table, they wondered what he would get from the amber .
“There are more than 100 ambers . I don’t see anything special in them . If none of them has any treasure inside, do you expect me to conjure a treasure out of nowhere?” Jiang Chen said, feeling it funny .

“My client . ” Xi Han failed to hold her temper when she had heard his innuendos about Golden Ship again . She walked up to the table . The tabletop suddenly flipped over, as if she had pressed a button or something . Then another batch of amber appeared on the table .
“We have too much amber . It doesn’t look good if we show all of them at once . That’s why we change a batch every ten minutes for our clients to choose from . ” Xi Han said angrily, “If you know nothing, just shut up and watch . ”
Seeing her so angry, people familiar with her could not help but exclaim that Jiang Chen was really something .
“Miss Xi Han, I hadn’t finished appreciating the last batch,” the Star Venerable said unhappily .
“I’m really sorry . ” Xi Han reacted . The tabletop flipped over, and the last batch of amber showed up again .
The amber that had drawn Jiang Chen’s attention also went back under the table .
“Now, the game is on . ” Xi Han took a deep breath to calm herself down .
“All right . I’ll play with you . I wanna cut this one open . ” Jiang Chen pointed at one of the pieces of amber .
People looked over and found it was an amber as big as a fist . They could not help but burst out laughing . Regardless of size, all of the amber cost the same . And size did not have anything to do with what the amber had inside . However, the amber Jiang Chen had chosen was really small . It looked like a fragment of other pieces of amber .

“Young man, what do you want from it? A leaf?” The Star Venerable was smiling disdainfully .
Xi Han cheered up too . She picked the amber up immediately and tore off the tag on it, not leaving Jiang Chen any time to feel any regret . In this way, Jiang Chen had to pay for the amber . If he refused to pay, Golden Ship would have an excuse to attack him, without worries about being accused of protecting the Tangs .
Jiang Chen gave her one-third of his gambling chips and took the amber .
“Cut it open . ”
Those from the Tangs shouted . “Do you dare or not? Are you worrying about getting embarrassed?”
“What a know-it-all . Are you kidding us?”
They actually did not say these things with their mouths, so it was difficult to find out who was speaking . As a result, they said whatever offensive thing that occurred to them without fear .
“Young man, surprise me . ” The Star Venerable was picking his amber too .
“All right . I’ll satisfy your wishes . ” Jiang Chen emitted an extremely sharp radiance from his fingertips . The outer layer of the amber was cut open immediately . Many people were shocked . They thought no wonder this guy was so arrogant, because he was really capable . This kind of amber was extremely tenacious . They did not feel so hard when held in peoples’ hands, but it needed a great effort to cut them open . Experts would be needed to cut the bigger ones so that the things inside would not be damaged .
“Eh?” Xi Han was surprised . So were the amber-cutting experts at the table . They did not warn Jiang Chen against anything in order to see him make a fool of himself . Even if there was some valuable thing inside, newbies would usually damage it . For such a small piece, it was an especially delicate job .
However, seeing Jiang Chen’s great skill, Xi Han even wanted to hire him; 15 minutes later, Jiang Chen finally cut the small piece of amber open . Those who were expecting him to make a fool of himself also held their breaths when seeing his great skill . They were quietly waiting . In the end, the amber started to shine .
None of the seniors at the table, including the Star Venerable, could sit still . They got to their feet one by one, opening their eyes wide . The Star Venerable had guessed it right . It was a leaf indeed .
A tea leaf .
It was a tea leaf of Enlightenment Tea .
“Thousands-of-years-old Enlightenment Tea . It’s really nice . ” Jiang Chen was beaming, but he did not overreact due to surprise . People thought he was too profound to be understood . He took the Enlightenment Tea . That was the best thing about the amber . They kept all the treasures in perfect condition, free of the effects of time .
Then Jiang Chen smelted the amber, which had been cut open, and absorbed it . “Miss Xi Han, I’m really enjoying myself so much on Golden Ship that I almost forget to go home,” Jiang Chen added .
Xi Han was smiling, but she looked like she was crying . The Enlightenment Tea, not any ordinary Enlightenment Tea, but thousands-of-years-old Enlightenment Tea, was worth tens of thousands of times more than that amber!
