There is a poem that goes: “The Three Young Masters of the Capital, truly a marvel; no talent for enterprise, but a supreme knack for squandering; with gold and silver, they buy laughter and joy, shameless and brazen, the ultimate playboys. The General of the North, his son is named Ethan; a general’s useless offspring, a complete good-for-nothing. In the Southern Governor’s mansion, wild waves surge; named Logan, the prodigal Logan Chase; the Left Prime Minister is highly talented, his son William, even the Xuan Jade Ruyi was pawned; and for what? For food, drink, pleasure, and debauchery. Among such characters, the Three Young Masters reign supreme!”

Among these tales, the matter of the ‘Xuan Jade Ruyi’ happened not long ago, when William Foster, due to his excessive extravagance, found himself broke; egged on by a group of friends, he actually took his father’s Xuan Jade Ruyi and pawned it. Though the Xuan Jade Ruyi was not a one-of-a-kind treasure, it was still a rare and precious item, worth at least ten thousand taels of gold, yet it was pawned for just over a thousand taels of silver… For this, Young Master Foster was nearly beaten to death by his father. Thus, he earned the title of ‘the number one prodigal son of the Chen Empire’…

Besides being crowned the top prodigal, Young Master Foster also suddenly stood out from his peers Ethan Brooks and Logan Bennett, the so-called ‘Three Young Masters of the Capital’, becoming the number one wastrel among them, truly looking down on all others with pride.

A treasure worth ten thousand taels of gold was pawned for just a thousand taels of silver, and in just two or three days, it was all spent… Such extravagance and wastefulness truly leave people in awe.

“Let’s go!” Logan Bennett was so excited his cross-eyed look grew even more pronounced, grabbing Ethan Brooks and rushing out the door in high spirits.

The two great playboys boarded the carriage, clip-clopping along the way. Ethan Brooks was still not quite used to this kind of prodigal lifestyle, but looking at Logan Bennett, who was glancing around contentedly, even lifting the carriage curtain to throw flirtatious glances with his cross-eyes, pursing his lips and letting out sharp, piercing whistles, scaring the young ladies and wives on the street into fleeing in all directions.

As they continued forward, Ethan Brooks suddenly felt a vague sensation, his heart giving a sudden thump.

This was Ethan Brooks’s unique spiritual sense, honed through countless trials in his previous life, which he could never quite explain; whenever there was a rare treasure nearby, even if he didn’t recognize it, his heart would suddenly skip a beat.

Relying on this peculiar sense, he had acquired countless treasures. That the Lord Ethan could laugh at all heroes was due in no small part to this ability. He hadn’t expected that after reincarnation, this power would still be with him, providing much help for his future.

However, Ethan Brooks found it odd: this was the mundane world—what kind of treasure could possibly make the heart of the Lord Ethan, who once roamed the Azure Cloud Domain, skip a beat?

Yet the further they went, the stronger the feeling became.

When the carriage stopped, the sensation grew even more intense, as if the treasure was right before him—undeniably real.

Looking out after getting off the carriage, the three golden characters of the Left Prime Minister’s Residence gleamed brightly!

That feeling was coming from inside!

…

“Logan Bennett! You bastard!” William Foster cursed loudly, “Was it you who drugged me last night? Damn it, you nearly killed me!”

The moment he saw the two, William Foster started ranting and cursing.

Clearly, his resentment toward Ethan Brooks and Logan Bennett had sunk deep into his bones, impossible to erase.

They usually schemed against each other, no one yielding to the other, and he himself had set many traps for Ethan Brooks and Logan Bennett—that was nothing… But how could you drug me…

Besides, the three of them were supposed to be the Three Young Masters of the Capital, neck and neck… but lately, he had become the most useless one, and it was all because of their instigation… Now, whenever William Foster saw these two, he ground his teeth in hatred.

But Ethan Brooks paid no attention to Master Foster’s attitude; all his focus was on observation. His eyes kept scanning a table in the Left family’s parlor.

On it sat a white jade pedestal; atop the pedestal was a piece of milky white stone. The stone’s surface was rough and dull, looking utterly ordinary; aside from its shape, like a bird about to take flight, there was nothing remarkable about it!

Clearly, it was just an ordinary ornament in the Left family—not treated as anything special…

While Logan Bennett and William Foster, the two young masters, were busy hurling insults at each other, Ethan Brooks devoted all his attention to observing that object.

The more he looked, the more excited he became, unable to contain himself!

That’s it, no doubt about it!

Heavenly Crystal Marrow!

It was actually this treasure!

Ethan Brooks never expected that on his first visit after reincarnation, he would come across such a treasure!

Heavenly Crystal Marrow was a true legendary item, taking ten thousand years to form, and growing only an inch every thousand years. Not to mention in this lowly realm—even in the Azure Cloud Domain where Ethan Brooks once lived, it was a legendary rarity, something one could only dream of!

Back in the Azure Cloud Domain, even the tiniest bit of this treasure would spark frenzied competition among the great powers, leading to countless disputes and deaths!

How could such a large piece—bigger than a human head—appear here in the mundane world, so far beneath the Azure Cloud Domain? And it had even been carved into the shape of a bird about to take flight?

This… isn’t this the very definition of wanton waste of a heavenly treasure!
