I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 572 Water Elusive Stone

As Chen Hao read the murals, he discussed the interpretation of the content with Master Ghost at the same time.

"Young Master Chen, do you think that this humongous warship on the mural was a creation which was beyond the scope of technology too? 40 years ago, my teacher could only hazard a guess. He thinks tha this huge warship is rather bizarre," Master Ghost said.

"Yes. But this isn't the first time it has appeared, and it's not the first time I've seen it. I have a feeling that this strange huge warship augurs that a few 10 thousand years ago, there was another civilization that existed on Earth. There's also the giant dragon that was severely injured in the sea!" Chen Hao replied.

"It seems that you believe all these to be true. All these years, my teacher and I have been confused by the giant dragon and huge warship on the murals. On top of that, the warship fell from the sky. How could that be possible? We thought that it was just the imagination of the ancient people. But now, I'm almost convinced that it's true! It seems to me that there was really a civilization in the past, and those legends are not just legends!" he said.

Master Ghost looked at these murals.

"I daresay that the item which the old man gave the people to dive into the sea is the Water Elusive Stone! If that's the case, everything kind of makes sense!" Master Ghost pointed at one of the murals and added.

That mural was the scene where the old beggar distributed an item to everyone on the deck.

"Water Elusive Stone?" Chen Hao asked.

"Yes. My teacher told me that the Water Elusive Stone is a magical item that is naturally produced. It exists as early as a few 10 thousand years ago, and its most significant effect is stated in its name to avoid water. When one holds it in the mouth, it can cancel out the pressure under the sea. Common people can't withstand the high pressure under the sea!" Master Ghost explained.

Chen Hao pondered for a moment.

Indeed. Yesterday, when he was studying the Sea Palace's map which he snatched from the Ming Family, he realized the Sea Palace was located at the bottom of deep sea.

He had thought that although he had the ability of a Grandmaster, where his body had undergone tremendous training which made him unsusceptible to deep-sea pressure, it would still restrict the agility of his body.

The members of the Chen Family were not here yet because Chen Hao had told them to speed up the preparation of pressure-reducing equipment to be used under the sea.

This would allow the members of the Chen Family to dive into the sea and coordinate with him.

Sea Palace was huge, so it would be an impossible task if he were to do it alone.

If he could get the Water Elusive Stone, it would save half the effort!

"Master, where can I replace the Water Elusive Stone?" Chen Hao could not help but ask.

"Water Elusive Stone is one of the magical stones. If you want to know where to replace it, I'm afraid you have to ask the Ming Family. A hundred years ago, some ancestors of the Ming Family had dived into the deep sea with the aid of the Water Elusive Stone to steal treasures. Therefore, the Ming Family probably knows where to replace the Water Elusive Stone!" Master Ghost answered.

That would be easy since everything that belonged to the Ming Family was now his.

"Thank you, Master Ghost. I'll visit you again after I settle the matters of the Sea Palace!"

Chen Hao gave Master Ghost a fist in palm salute before he left.

Looking at Chen Hao's leaving figure, Master Ghost felt moved.

40 years ago, Master left the teachings of the deceased to me. Since then, I've been studying the teachings intensively, but it has proved to be fruitless. Is it possible that Master's calculation is right, and there will be a shocking change on Earth in the near future? Will a catastrophe fall upon humans? And when that day arrives, will a young man step forward and try to resist the occurrence of all these? It seems that this young man is Young Master Chen Hao! Master Ghost thought. He was going through a lot of emotions.

Everyone in the Ming Family was indeed as cunning as a fox.

When Chen Hao seized the Old Master of the Ming Family by the neck and lifted him off the ground, only did he tell the truth. As expected, the Ming Family knew where to replace the Water Elusive Stone. It was buried under one of the ancestor's mines of the Ming Family as it was a treasure that was even more precious than the Sea Palace's map.

Of course, all of these belonged to Chen Hao now.

"Old man, when I get the Water Elusive Stone, you better be ready to sign the contract!"

In front of the Ming Family, Chen Hao threw Ming Zuotang onto the floor.

After that, he strode off.

"Shameless b*stard! After drawing out our veins, he even wants to scrape out our bones! F*ck you!" Ming Zuotang burst into tears, which streamed down his face unceasingly.

He had been in a daze ever since yesterday.

The glorious and happy life they once had was all gone now.

But the most unbearable thing was the humiliation that he felt.

He was overwhelmed with regret now. If his foolish granddaughter had not messed with this person, everything would still be fine. Who would have expected that this person could be so unreasonable and was an extortioner? What he did was even worse than the Ming Family.

The Ming Family was a distinguished family in Sea City that had been on the top of the society for a few 100 years. They had never ever suffered a situation like this!

"Grandfather, the Water Elusive Stone is our last treasure. The teachings of our ancestors state that the Ming Family can be deficient in fortunes and power, but we must never lose the Water Elusive Stone!" "True. If the Water Elusive Stone is given to him, the Ming Family will have nothing left. We will be doomed!"

The younger generation of the Ming Family gathered around.

Indeed. Even if Chen Hao had taken everything the Ming Family owned, Ming Zuotang was far from being in the depths of despair. As long as they had the Water Elusive Stone, the Ming Family would still have a chance to make a comeback. It would not take many years until another Ming Family rose.

However, Chen Hao had just taken away the Ming Family's lifeblood.

Suddenly, a malicious expression appeared on Ming Zuotang's face.

He laughed out of anger and said, "There's no need to fret. Do you think Chen Hao will get the Water Elusive Stone that easily? In fact, if he manages to enter our ancestor's mine, I will be overjoyed instead. It will be a blessing from our ancestors!"

"Grandfather, why do you say so?" Ming Zhu asked timidly beside him.

"Ming Zhu, you have always been clever, so why are you confused now? Don't forget, we still have our trump card!"

"What trump card?" the Ming Family's eyes shimmered with hope and asked eagerly.

"We have the Thousand Years Poisonous Fog!" Ming Zuotang revealed with clenched teeth and a face filled with hatred.

The Ming Family looked at each other and widened their eyes in surprise.

Thousand Years Poisonous Fog was the most valuable treasure among the three great treasures of the Ming Family.

Even the younger generations of the Ming Family thought that the Thousand Years Poisonous Fog mentioned by the ancestors was just a rumor. But hearing their grandfather, it seemed like this poison did exist.

Rumors said that with just a light inhale of this poison, one's organs would fester regardless of how mighty one was.

"Chen Hao might be mighty and unbeatable, but can he withstand this Thousand Years Poisonous Fog?"

Ming Zuotang stood up with a ferocious face and laughed maliciously.

"Ming Yi, Ming Zhu!"

"Yes, grandfather!"

"Yes, grandfather!"

"That year, Master Ghost gifted our family a sentence. He said that 'A comedown will fall upon your family if morals and kindness are neglected'. It means that the Ming Family will meet a disaster this year, and we will suffer a low ebb. It seems like this day is here. You shall look for him and ask him to predict whether we, the Ming Family, will overcome this disaster, and when will we resurge!" Ming Zuotang ordered. After that, he gathered the people at the helm of the family to discuss some matters in the backyard secret room...
