The next day, Ma Xiaoyao took a day off on the pretext of inspecting the gold mine and asked Xing Yajun to participate in the stone gambling competition alone.
Of course Xing Yajun was not happy, but no matter how he tried to persuade him, Ma Xiaoyao just took the weight and refused to change his mind. In the end, Xing Yajun had no choice but to participate in the stone gambling competition alone.
…
When Ma Xiaoyao saw the two gold mines, he was stunned.
The two gold mines are dilapidated, old, and very small in scale. The most important thing is... they have been mined.
"Nima!"
Ma Xiaoyao couldn't help but cursed loudly, he was fooled! He was fooled by that damn Zhao Jinliang! He used two gold mines that were about to be scrapped to fool himself... Do you really think you are a fool? Okay, you are really good!
!!
Zhao Jinliang! Just wait for me, I will never give up!
Originally, Ma Xiaoyao had a good impression of Zhao Jinliang, thinking that Zhao Jinliang was a forthright man worth getting to know, but now it seems... he is clearly a despicable and shameless person.
I can’t bear to part with both gold mines! It’s really a steal!
"Hey, what do you do!" The soldier guarding the gold mine came forward to ask.
"Here you go." Ma Xiaoyao threw the two contracts to the soldiers: "Open your eyes and see clearly, these two gold mines already belong to me."
"Oh..." the soldier nodded: "You came quite quickly... Now that you are here, hurry up and go through the handover procedures... From today on, these two gold mines belong to you personally, and we will also
There is no obligation to stay here anymore. Of course, you can pay to hire us, but the price will be higher..."
"Hire you? Why should I hire you?" Ma Xiaoyao was angry.
"Help you look after the gold mines. Although this place is close to the capital, there are still a lot of gangsters. Once we leave, there will definitely be gangsters trying to attack these two gold mines. So, you'd better hire us to look after them.
...Of course, you can also refuse..." the soldier explained.
"Of course I will refuse." Ma Xiaoyao snorted: "Even if I want to hire someone, I won't hire you."
"you……"
"Okay, you have nothing to do here, so hurry up and leave."
"You will definitely regret it."
The soldiers left angrily. Originally, they wanted to extort a sum of money, but Ma Xiaoyao ignored them and made the soldiers very angry.
"You want to blackmail me? It's just a wishful thinking!" Ma Xiaoyao curled his lips disdainfully. He was originally in a bad mood, but now he was stimulated by a group of soldiers, making Ma Xiaoyao even more annoyed.
Now that you're here, let's go in and take a look.
After calming down, Ma Xiaoyao entered the gold mine.
Eighty percent of the gold has been removed, and the remaining gold is still hidden under the rocks. It will take a lot of work to mine it out.
"Such a little gold... is not enough for cultivation." Ma Xiaoyao sighed softly: "This time can be regarded as a lesson. Next time you trade, you must see the gold mine with your own eyes. Don't just trade in a haphazard manner.
...The Daliang Kingdom is really far behind the Qinglong Dynasty, both in terms of national strength and reputation. When Ma Xiaoyao escorted Zhu Yingying back to the Qinglong Dynasty, the emperor Zhu Tianba directly rewarded her with ten
Not only is this gold mine large in scale, but most of it has never been mined before. Looking at Daliang Kingdom, the two gold mines in the country are still very cunning...the gap is too big.
Although there is a little less gold, it is still better than nothing, right?
It’s better to seize the time to practice.
Ma Xiaoyao sealed the entrance to the gold mine, then sat cross-legged on the ground, summoned the mysterious beads and started practicing.
An hour later, Ma Xiaoyao ended his practice. It was not because he wanted to end it, but because the metallic energy around him had become very thin. Even if he continued to practice, he would not make much progress.
Next, Ma Xiaoyao went to the second gold mine to practice.
This time, after only half an hour, Ma Xiaoyao ended his practice.
"This feeling of neither going up nor down is really irritating." Ma Xiaoyao used internal vision to check and found that the metallic Qi in the Dantian had only improved a little, and was still far from the saturated state.
"Nima!"
"What a bad luck this time!"
"If it were two large unexploited gold mines, they would probably have been promoted by now."
"Zhao Jinliang, just wait for me. I will deal with you sooner or later."
"If you dare to play tricks on me, you are simply seeking death!!!"
At this moment, Ma Xiaoyao hated Zhao Jinliang to death.
"Let's go back to sleep." Ma Xiaoyao stood up, dusted himself off, and then strode away. As for the two gold mines behind him... they were abandoned by him. It wasn't because he was rich and didn't like them.
Touching gold, but... After some practice, the gold in the two gold mines has been eclipsed, and even if it is dug out, it will not be worth a lot of money.
This is the sequelae of rapid cultivation.
Ma Xiaoyao absorbed all the metallic energy in the gold. The gold would definitely become eclipsed and lose its luster. It would only be a little stronger than ordinary stone.
…
Seeing that it was quite early, Ma Xiaoyao turned directly to the site of the stone gambling competition. Since the gold mine didn't work, he could only rely on stone gambling to accumulate gold. If he was lucky, he ran into a few metallic yuan stones.
That would be so cool.
"Huh? Mr. Ma, why are you here?" Xing Yajun was very surprised.
"What? You don't want me to come?" Ma Xiaoyao pouted.
"Ma Xiaoyao was joking, I wish you could come quickly." Xing Yajun chuckled and said, "Mr. Ma, now that you are here, I feel confident. I just took a fancy to a few stones and they all seemed good, but the price
It's very high. I hesitated for a long time and couldn't make up my mind... Now that you're here, just help me take a look."
"where?"
"It's right here. What do you think of these rocks? Anyway, I feel pretty good."
"...Most of them are scraps, and only two stones are enough... If you pay for them, you will definitely lose your pants."
"Ah? Am I so discerning?"
"It's not bad, but it's extremely bad."
"Okay, I will study hard in the future."
"Betting on stones mainly relies on talent, and just studying hard is not enough." Ma Xiaoyao was in a bad mood today, so he spoke a little harshly, without caring about Xing Yajun's feelings. Fortunately, Xing Yajun was thick-skinned and could bear it.
, if it were anyone else, he would probably have left in shame.
"Mr. Ma is right, I will try my best to improve my talent in the future." Xing Yajun said shamelessly.
"Haha...talent is something you are born with, it cannot be improved through hard work... Huh? Why are there so many people gathered in front of you?" Ma Xiaoyao pointed to the front and said, "Is there any excitement? Come on, go and have a look!
"
Xing Yajun obeys Ma Xiaoyao's command in everything. He goes wherever Ma Xiaoyao says and does whatever he says. Xing Yajun will never say no.
When the two of them came closer and inquired carefully, they understood what was going on. It turned out that the group of people were looking at a stone, a very gorgeous-looking stone. It was said that this stone was brought from the distant North Pole.
Three meters long, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, it looks like an awl, with a dark skin and a shiny glow.
As soon as he saw this stone, Ma Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes. This stone looked really extraordinary.
Xing Yajun and Ma Xiaoyao pay attention to different things. Ma Xiaoyao pays attention to the appearance of the stone, while Xing Yajun pays attention to the price of the stone: "Ten million taels of silver?! This is too expensive!"
He exclaimed: "It is nonsense to sell such a stone for ten million taels of silver."
"What do you know!" Someone next to him retorted: "This stone is not an ordinary stone. It was transported from the far North Pole. It cost millions of taels of silver to travel alone. Many people watched this stone.
, I think there is an incredible treasure inside the stone! The price of ten million taels of silver is definitely not expensive!"
"Since we have this incredible treasure, why don't you buy it?" Xing Yajun hummed.
"Why are you so anxious? Aren't we looking at it right now? If you really see it right, you will definitely pay for it."
"That's right, ten million taels of silver is a lot, but we can still afford it."
"When buying such an expensive stone, you must take a good look at it and be cautious."
Xing Yajun's words directly aroused public outrage, causing everyone to roll their eyes and criticize, making Xing Yajun very depressed.
"Mr. Ma, what do you think of this stone?" Xing Yajun gently poked Ma Xiaoyao and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you think this stone is good, then I will pay for it.
"Since winning several gambling games, Xing Yajun has become particularly confident in his speech.
"Wait a minute." Ma Xiaoyao shook his head: "This stone does look good...but...I always feel like something is wrong..."
"I can't tell." Ma Xiaoyao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "Wait for now, wait until I am sure."
"Okay, I'll listen to Mr. Ma." Xing Yajun nodded.
…
"Everyone!" A man in a purple robe came out from behind the stone. He stretched out his hands and pressed down: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to what I have to say."
Zhao Jinliang! A sharp light flashed in Ma Xiaoyao's eyes. The purple-robed man speaking opposite was none other than Zhao Jinliang, the second prince of the Liang Kingdom. It was this guy who used two gold mines that were about to be scrapped to fool Ma Xiaoyao and let Ma Xiaoyao eat them.
I suffered a dumb loss.
Hearing what Zhao Jinliang said, the people at the scene immediately closed their mouths consciously.
"This stone was transported from the North Pole. It is very precious. The chance of containing treasure inside is more than 90%. Now I will auction it on the spot. The highest bidder will get it." Zhao Jinliang said with a smile: "Once such a good stone is missed,
You will regret it for the rest of your life."
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and bid?"
"The base price is 10 million taels of silver, and each increase must not be less than 100,000 taels of silver."
"Come on, everyone, hurry up and bid. Whoever pays the highest price will own this stone!"
…
Zhao Jinliang appealed in an emotional voice: "If you pass by, don't miss it."
