Guan He explained: "Xingshifang is jointly run by some families in the city, and our county governor's office is also involved. There are various strange stones in it, many of which were brought out by adventurers from the core area of the Starfall Land. They may contain hidden treasures.
Some kind of natural treasure, if you are lucky, you may get rich overnight, so it attracts countless people to gamble on stones. However, every strange stone is extremely expensive and not ordinary people can afford it. If you lose every day in Xingshifang, you will lose everything.
There are also plenty of them.”
"I see, then I have to see it." Zhou Xing walked towards Xingshifang, Chu Hen silently followed him not far behind.
Xingshifang is also the most prosperous area with the largest flow of people in Xingyun City. It is not far from the city lord's palace. It didn't take long for Zhou Xing to arrive in front of the gate of Xingshifang. He saw that the place was really lively and crowded, almost surrounded by people.
It was all over the place.
Zhou Xing relied on his Tianwu Realm strength to stand out among the crowd and couldn't squeeze in at all. In desperation, he could only throw out a handful of top-grade spiritual crystals and shouted at the same time: "Pick up the spiritual crystals!"
When the people around saw that there was really a top-quality spiritual crystal, they immediately started greedily grabbing it and almost started fighting. Fortunately, the people from Xingshifang maintained order in time and allowed everyone to stop. Zhou Xing had already taken advantage of the chaos and squeezed in.
The inside was completely unaffected by the chaos outside, and the scene was instead very serious and quiet.
Zhou Xing saw many strange stones placed on stone platforms and shelves. Some were regular spherical shapes, some were grotesque and indescribable, some were only the size of a fist, some were taller than an adult man, and some were as gray as a
Covered with dust, some have a beautiful sheen...
There was a very spacious place left in the venue, and some people in brightly dressed and gorgeous clothes stood there. The onlookers did not dare to squeeze in at all.
One of the protagonists is Chen Wenle, and the other is a handsome man with a beautiful face. The two of them are observing in front of strange rocks.
Zhou Xing learned from the people around him that Chen Wenle came to Xingshifang to gamble on stones for the first time. Because he had no skills, he gambled several pieces but got nothing. Then he was laughed at by the children of aristocratic families in the city who came to play.
He was so angry that he had to make a bet with Shi Yilun, the heir apparent of the Shi family who was laughing at him.
Each of the two people chooses no more than three strange stones, and the total price does not exceed one thousand top-quality spiritual crystals for comparison. Whoever chooses the strange stone that yields a treasure with a higher value wins, and the loser must declare in public that he is a waste, and
Lose to the winner and lose a thousand top quality spiritual crystals.
"Wenle got the upper hand this time." Zhou Xing thought to himself. He could already see small beads of sweat appearing on Chen Wenle's forehead. How could he win the opponent in his first encounter with stone gambling?
At this time, Shi Yilun had already selected a strange stone the size of a human head, and he did not forget to laugh at Chen Wenle: "You country bumpkin, you dare to gamble with me on stones. If you want to give me spiritual crystals, just say so."
Chen Wenle glared at Shi Yilun, but did not immediately refute. Instead, he took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and re-observed the strange rocks in front of him.
Zhou Xing was also carefully exploring the strange stones at this time, and found that their surfaces were wrapped in some strange energy, and even the soul power could not break through. As for the spiritual power, it was difficult to use, but it would definitely not be effective.
He has understood that it is the strange energy brought by meteorites, which is like the power of stars, but not exactly the same. If one has the Ten Thousand Star Body or a similar holy body, hunting for treasures will be as easy as picking out objects, but people with the holy body
No matter where you need to go to a place like this to gamble on stones, the cultivation resources provided by the forces behind you are inexhaustible.
In addition to this, there is the experience accumulated from practicing various eye skills and gambling on stones for many years.
Zhou Xing closed his eyes, and the vast soul power in the soul space gathered on his eyes.
"The Eye of the Soul!" This was also taught to him by the Tianluo man. It can detect illusions and see spirits that ordinary people cannot see.
Opening his eyes again, Zhou Xing's pupils turned into a faint golden color, looking a bit eerie.
The strange rocks in front of you seem to have turned into stars in the sky, with a layer of night covering its surface, really like the endless night sky. This layer of night can be thick or thin, the thick one is pitch black, the thin one is more like...
The gray feeling is just a layer of black veil.
Under the cover of night, some strange stones are really just a stubborn stone, unremarkable, while others give off a faint brilliance.
"Those that shine under the eyes of the soul must contain some kind of heavenly material and earthly treasure!" Zhou Xing secretly thought, so he immediately carefully looked at the many strange stones in the starting point, and found that the radiance emitted was also strong and weak.
, according to common sense, the stronger the radiance, the more precious the treasures inside.
After a while, Zhou Xing sent a message to Chu Hen who was not far behind him and said: "Senior, please tell Wen Le to choose the No. 371 stone on his right hand side, as well as the No. 208 and 5 stones.
Number one hundred and forty-four.”
A look of surprise appeared on Chu Hen's face. Zhou Xing had already studied it before he could figure it out?
But he did it immediately.
Zhou Xing saw Chen Wenle, who was tense all over, and suddenly looked back. After seeing himself and Chu Hen behind him, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed his instructions and went to take down the three strange stones.
"Fortunately, all the stones in Xingshifang are numbered, otherwise it would be easy for others to find out if I sent a message to Wenle myself, and it would be difficult for Senior Chu to convey it on my behalf." Zhou Xing said in his heart, "Now we should be sure of victory.
"
Zhou Xing, Shi Yilun, who gambled with stones with Chen Wenle, has also been paying attention. Shi Yilun has some skills. He is worthy of being a child of the Shi family, the local snake in Starfall City. He has been involved in stone gambling for many years, and he must have his own unique way of looking at stones.
Fa, the brilliance emanating from the two strange stones he has chosen is indeed the strongest among the many strange stones in the field, not much worse than the ones he chose for Chen Wenle.
"Shi, you haven't chosen yet, don't wait any longer." After Chen Wenle selected the three strange stones selected by Zhou Xing, he said to Shi Yilun, "If you don't hurry up, I think you should just admit defeat.
"
Chen Wenle knew clearly that he and Shi Yilun were impulsive in their stone bet, and had no chance of winning. He had even considered whether to use his status to suppress the children of these aristocratic families. After all, a thousand top-grade spiritual crystals was nothing, but he had to declare himself in public that he was a waste.
, but anyone with a bit of self-respect would definitely not want to.
Fortunately, Zhou Xing and Chu Hen came. Chen Wenle admired Zhou Xing extremely and had an inexplicable trust. What's more, with Chu Hen, a strong man, he believed that he could definitely win.
Just as Shi Yilun mocked him, he would mock him again now, let's get over it first.
Shi Yilun listened to Chen Wenle's words and looked over with wide eyes. He saw that Chen Wenle had indeed chosen. He couldn't help but be very surprised: This guy obviously doesn't understand Xiangshi at all. He couldn't choose one just now. Now,
Why was he chosen so quickly? Is it possible that this guy is really hiding something? No, it’s impossible, it’s definitely just a broken jar. He will be exposed later and lose all face!
The reason why Shi Yilun has not chosen the third piece is because this time he not only wants to win over Chen Wenle, but also wants to find a strange stone that can yield amazing treasures, so as to win the favor of the beauty.
This time, not only did he come to Xingshifang with a group of children from aristocratic families in Xingyun City, but also Gongsun Lan, the eldest daughter of the Gongsun family, the first aristocratic family in Kecheng next door.
Kecheng is one of the seven first-class cities in Xingyun County. The Gongsun family has a strong Dharmakaya state in charge, and it is famous throughout Xingyun County.
Although his Shi family is one of the best in Xingyun County, there is no strong person in the Celestial Realm to take charge. It is just one sky and one place. If he can climb up to the Gongsun family, his identity as the future head of the Shi family will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the Shi family will also
It became even more glorious under his leadership.
Shi Yilun thought that his stone bet with Chen Wenle was foolproof. He couldn't stand Chen Wenle's provocation and stopped looking. So he picked up a strange stone that he had just seen and thought was pretty good, and said with a sneer: "I would rather
Look, if you open the strange stone later, can you still laugh?"
"Not only can I laugh, but I can also smile brighter. You must not be able to laugh anymore!" Chen Wenle replied without showing any signs of weakness.
"I don't want to talk to you." Shi Yilun snorted coldly, then placed the three strange stones he chose on the stone platform, and then said to the white-haired old man standing beside him with his hands hanging: "Master Lu, please open the stone."
Bar."
This Master Lu has been working at Xingshifang for decades and has a very high reputation in the stone gambling world. Even the head of an aristocratic family must be polite when meeting him. He is the notary and stone cutter of the two stone gambling.
Master Lu nodded, then took out a small knife with a length of only three inches and a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, and walked to the strange stone chosen by Shi Yilun.
The first strange stone to be opened is in the shape of an ellipsoid, a bit larger than a human head, with a bluish-black surface and some parallel patterns.
Master Lu held a knife in his hand and began to open the stone with skillful techniques. As the stone fragments peeled off bit by bit, a foot-high red light burst out, and the treasure contained within was soon revealed.
"It's the Fire Spirit Crystal!"
Someone in the crowd exclaimed and said in shock: "Such a large piece of fire spirit crystal is equivalent to twenty or thirty standard spirit crystals, and is worth more than 600 top-grade spirit crystals!"
"The price tag of this strange stone is only one hundred top-quality spiritual crystals. It has been turned over several times at once. It is worthy of Mr. Shi!"
Shi Yilun was filled with pride when he heard everyone's praise for him, but with a humble smile on his face, he said lightly: "It's not worth mentioning, I just opened the Water Spirit Crystal a few days ago, there is nothing worthy of praise."
After a while, Master Lu had completely opened the fire spirit crystal. Shi Yilun held it and walked up to a beauty wearing a light yellow dress and said: "Miss Gongsun, you are practicing fire spirit power. I will use it now."
I give this Fire Spirit Crystal to you, and I hope you will succeed in your cultivation as soon as possible."
Gongsun Lan did not show happiness or other expressions, nor did he refuse. He just nodded and responded: "Thank you, Mr. Shi." and asked the maid next to him to accept the Fire Spirit Crystal!
"It's just a piece of Fire Spirit Crystal, what's there to be proud of?" Chen Wenle on the side couldn't stand it and couldn't help but said.
"Just a piece of Fire Spirit Crystal?" Shi Yilun turned around and looked at Chen Wenle, sneering: "I see that you spent a thousand top-quality Spirit Crystals to select these three strange stones, but the total of these three strange stones may not be as big as my Fire Spirit Crystal."
Crystal value is high!”
"Hmph, take a good look!" Chen Wenle looked at Master Lu, "Master, please open the first strange stone for me first."
"Okay." Master Lu didn't hesitate and immediately opened the stone. Soon, a one-foot-tall strange stone was reduced to the size of a fist.
The smile on Shi Yilun's face almost overflowed, and a person behind him mocked: "Boy, is this your confidence? Just such a piece of waste?"
"Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Chen Wenle said angrily. Although he was a little uneasy at this time, fearing that he had really chosen a piece of waste, he still said firmly: "Just watch quietly, don't yell there.
!”
Although Chen Wenle was not very powerful, as the prince of the Chenxu Dynasty, when he was angry at this moment, he actually felt a sense of majesty and oppression, which made Shi Yilun and others feel their hearts skip a beat and shut their mouths.
Master Lu continued to open stones, and finally, a bead with texture like jade and shape like an eyeball appeared in front of everyone.
"What is this?" Shi Yilun couldn't help but ask. He was eager to know the value of this bead. The side Chen Wenle showed just now made him afraid to make unnecessary attacks. He had already guessed Chen Wenle's identity.
I'm afraid it's not simple.
Chen Wenle didn't know what it was, so he turned his attention to Master Lu.
I saw Master Lu standing in front of the bead and looking at it for a long time. His face was full of wrinkles and he was huddled together. However, he couldn't tell a reason. He just said: "Based on my experience, this is definitely a treasure."
"How can you calculate the value of something if you don't even know what it is?" Shi Yilun said.
"Where is the owner of Xingshifang? He has opened such a big Xingshifang, so he should be able to recognize it. Why not ask him to come out and have a look." Chen Wenle suggested.
Master Lu responded: "Our boss is absent from the city for a long time, and is usually at the edge of the core area of the Land of Starfall."
"Can any of you here recognize this bead?"
The onlookers looked at each other in confusion. Finally, Chu Hen, who had been standing quietly at the back, said: "This is the tiger eye stone. It can be formed from the eyes of a tiger sacred beast after at least thousands of years of evolution."
, it can be refined into one of the monk's eyes, thereby possessing the innate pupil technique of the tiger-like holy beast."
"Hiss..." As soon as Chu Hen said this, there was a gasp of cold air in the audience. Treasures related to holy beasts, even idiots know how precious they are. Once you master the holy beast's innate pupil skills, you will never be able to survive.
A person's future achievements are limitless, it can be said that the carp leaped over the dragon's gate.
"How do you prove that what you said is true and not nonsense?" Shi Yilun recovered from the shock and shouted quickly, if it is true what this person said, there is no need to open the remaining two strange stones, he
You can just admit defeat. The tiger eye stone this person mentioned is worth at least several thousand top-quality spiritual crystals.
"Yeah, who knows if what he said is true."
"Who is this person? Do you know him?"
"It can't be Tuo, right?"
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, and most people agreed with Shi Yilun's words.
Chu Hen said calmly: "I have no obligation to prove it to you, so what if you don't believe me?"
Yes, so what if you don't believe it! Chen Wenle was very happy. What Chu Hen said was false? Although Shi Yilun and others didn't want to believe it, so what?
