Originally, Yang Weili wanted to think about it carefully and try to pick some useful ores, but he didn't expect Lu Xuan to pick 200 ores in the blink of an eye. If Lu Xuan's previous actions were reasonable, but his actions just now were pure nonsense. Who would directly pick 50 ores in one place?
He immediately persuaded, "Junior Brother Lu, don't be anxious. Let me help you pick the remaining 50 ores."
Lu Xuan directly waved his hand and said, "No need, didn't Senior Brother Yang just pick 20 to 30 ores for me? I believe in your eyes, there won't be any problem."
Seeing Lu Xuan insist, Yang Weili could only smile bitterly. Although he had picked nearly 30 ores that looked good, Xiang Tao had carefully picked 200 ores. How could he compare? This time, he was afraid that he would lose. Although the one who bet with Xiang Tao was Lu Xuan, if Lu Xuan lost, as a member of the Mysterious Ice Pavilion, he wouldn't look good either.
Xiang Tao laughed and said, "Not bad, not bad. I finally found something in you that I like. Since you've picked, let's go find the people from the Fantastic Stone House to open the ores."
The group of more than 10 people immediately went to the other side, where there was a professional to help open the ores' outer shells.
"You first or me?" Xiang Tao glanced at Lu Xuan and asked.
Lu Xuan smiled and made a gesture, "You go first. I'm afraid that if I open too many ores later, you won't be in the mood to open ores."
"You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin." Xiang Tao shook his head and immediately took out the ores "he" had picked one by one. The ores of the first and second layer did not look any different from the appearance. Only people who often studied these ores would be able to notice it. Lu Xuan and the others were all novices, so naturally, they couldn't see the difference.
The person in charge of opening ores took the ores from Xiang Tao and could not help but be slightly startled. He had worked here for a long time, so naturally, he could tell that these ores were not from the first layer. However, he knew the principle of talking less and doing more. Of course, he would not take the initiative to point it out, but just silently opened the ores one by one.
Lu Xuan scanned the ores that Xiang Tao had taken out with his Origin Power, and he could not help but be slightly surprised. Xiang Tao was indeed skilled. Among the 200 ores, there were actually two supreme-grade Primordial Stones. Being able to pick two supreme-grade Primordial Stones out of so many ores was already extremely lucky.
While Lu Xuan already knew the value of Xiang Tao's raw stones, the rest of the people did not. They were all staring at the situation of the opening of the stones. One by one, the shells of the raw stones were broken, revealing the true ores within. Dozens of raw stones were opened in a row, but only a few upper-grade Primal Stones were found. There was not even a single top-grade Primal Stone, let alone the more precious stones. At that moment, Xiang Tao could not help but feel anxious. If he could not even get a single top-grade Primal Stone, then it would be a little dangerous.
Finally, when nearly 100 ores had been opened, as the outer shell of an ores was broken, a pure aura of Yuan Power spread out. Everyone's eyes could not help but brighten up. Xiang Tao even laughed out loud, "It's a supreme grade ores! It seems that my luck is really not bad! "
After saying that, he even looked at Lu Xuan with a smug look. With a top-grade Primal Stone to hold the fort, he felt more confident.
After a dozen ores were opened, another supreme grade ores appeared. This time, even Du Xiaomao and Yang Weili could not help but look at Xiang Tao with some admiration. Two supreme grade ores, this was already a great profit. If Lu Xuan wanted to surpass Xiang Tao, the chance was quite slim.
"Gee, two supreme grade ores, today's harvest is really not small. I don't know if there will be another wonderful stone for me." Xiang Tao deliberately said loudly, immediately attracting many warriors' envious eyes, greatly satisfying Xiang Tao's vanity.
In fact, Xiang Tao was indeed very happy. He had only spent two top-grade Primordial Stones on those 200 Primordial Stones, which was already a successful return on his investment. The rest was a complete profit. Moreover, with two top-grade Primordial Stones in hand, he was confident that he would be able to defeat Lu Xuan. There were still as many as 11 top-grade Primordial Stones waiting to be won.
Next, Xiang Tao's ores did not have any valuable ores, but after all, he already had two supreme grade ores. At this time, Xiang Tao could be said to be confident that he would win.
After calculating the prices of all the ores, Xiang Tao turned to look at Lu Xuan and said proudly, "Lu Xuan, it's your turn."
Under the slightly apprehensive gazes of Zhao Bing-er and the others, Lu Xuan did not hesitate to step forward, first handing over the last fifty ores that he had randomly selected.
After receiving Lu Xuan's ores, the warrior in charge of opening the ores couldn't help but secretly shake his head. This disciple of the Profound Ice Pavilion was still too young and naive. These were obviously all genuine first grade ores, completely incomparable to the second grade ores that Xiang Tao had previously taken out. If everything went according to plan, he was afraid that he would suffer a crushing defeat.
However, he still followed the rules and broke the outer shell of each ore, with no intention of interfering in the bet between Lu Xuan and Xiang Tao. Although Fantastic Stone Shop's backer was the Nine Eastern Alliance, he himself did not have any background, and he knew that he could not afford to offend someone like Xiang Tao.
The first ore was quickly broken, and a dazzling light suddenly lit up!
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on the ore, and Xiang Tao couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. This Lu Xuan's luck couldn't be this heaven-defying, could it? How could the ores that he had randomly picked out contain top-grade ores?
But after a closer look, Xiang Tao couldn't help but burst into laughter, almost choking on his own laughter. He pointed at the ore and said, "Lu Xuan, your luck is really a little too good, to be able to pick out something like a sunstone. I'm starting to believe your words, your luck really is excellent."
Indeed, this ore that had suddenly released a dazzling light was not some rare ore, in fact, it couldn't even compare to ordinary ores. Impressively, it was a nearly worthless sunstone. Its only use was for illumination, and not just in the world of cultivation, it could even be bought in the secular world.
"What are you so proud of? Wasn't the first ore you opened also a worthless low-grade source stone?" Du Xiaomao said indignantly on behalf of Lu Xuan.
Xiang Tao smiled and said, "Even if it's one lower grade primordial stone, it's enough to buy ten Sunlight Stones."
No matter what Xiang Tao said, Lu Xuan didn't care at all. He knew better than Xiang Tao what kind of ores he had picked out. These ores were just a cover to deceive people.
Immediately, he put away the sunstone and said to the low-level warrior who opened the ore, "Continue."
The second ore, low-grade source stone.
The third ore, raw iron ore.
The fourth ore, iron rock ore.
The fifth ore, low-grade source stone …
One after another, the ores were broken open. Looking at the pieces of cheap ores, everyone felt that it was a tragic sight. The smile on Xiang Tao's face grew wider as he sighed in his heart. How naive. He never thought that he would be able to earn 11 Peak Grade Origin Stones by coming to the Wondrous Stone House.
Not long after, all fifty ores were opened. Zhao Binger carefully calculated and found that among all the ores, the most valuable ones were only mid-grade source stones, and there were only two of them!
Yang Weili's expression didn't look good. The ores that Lu Xuan got from this random stone gambling method were worthless. Unless there were two top-grade source stones among the thirty ores he helped Lu Xuan pick, he might be able to win against Xiang Tao. However, it wasn't easy to get top-grade source stones. If he really had such a good eye, he would have come here long ago to make a fortune.
Even Ruo Xiangyi couldn't help but look at Lu Xuan with a strange expression. Previously, when she saw Lu Xuan's confident appearance, she really thought that Lu Xuan had some special ability, but now it seemed … it was probably just a way to comfort himself.
The only one who didn't panic was Lu Xuan. He took out another fifty ores and let the martial artist continue opening them. Among these fifty ores, most of them were chosen by Yang Weili, and some were randomly chosen by him. Overall, the quality of these ores was much better than the fifty ores from before.
Sure enough, among these fifty ores, there were a total of two high-grade source stones and five mid-grade source stones. In terms of stone gambling alone, this was already a good deal. However, if the wager with Xiang Tao was included, it would be a terrible loss.
Seeing this, Yang Weili couldn't help but interrupt, "Junior Brother Lu, have you taken out the ores that I picked?"
He now completely pinned his hopes of winning against Xiang Tao on the ores that he had picked.
Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Not yet. Senior Brother Yang, don't worry, I'll take out the ores that you picked."
This time, Lu Xuan only took out twenty-five ores. There were still seventy-five ores left in his Storage Ring. Lu Xuan absolutely wouldn't take out these seventy-five ores, because among these seventy-five ores, the lowest value was a top-grade source stone, and among them, there were nearly twenty top-grade strange stones!
If he took out these seventy-five ores, it would definitely shock the entire Fantastic Stones Shop. He hadn't swept through the second and third layers yet, so Lu Xuan wouldn't expose himself so quickly. Not to mention, an innocent man would get into trouble because of his wealth. Currently, the stone city was filled with powerhouses from various Sects. For such a huge profit, there was no guarantee that someone would take the risk out of desperation.
Seeing that Lu Xuan had finally taken out the ores that "he" had picked, Yang Weili suddenly felt a trace of anticipation. He stared unblinkingly at the cultivator's movements as he opened the ores, as if he was afraid that the cultivator would play some kind of trick.
After opening a dozen or so worthless ores, just as Yang Weili was about to give up, the next ore's outer shell was broken and a burst of Blood Qi appeared without warning!
Feeling this aura, everyone present couldn't help but tremble. This aura was definitely not something that ordinary ores or source stones could emit. It had to be a strange stone! Moreover, it was a strange stone that contained Blood Qi and could enhance a cultivator's physique!
The smile on Xiang Tao's face suddenly froze and he quickly rushed forward to look at the ores that had its outer shell broken halfway. He saw that there was a half-exposed blood-red ore wrapped in it, and the trace of Blood Qi was emitting from it.
The cultivator in charge of opening the ores couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although he had to open countless ores in a day, there were very few opportunities to really open a strange stone. There was no doubt that the one in his hand at this moment was a strange stone!
The attendant who was responsible for leading the way for Lu Xuan had sharp eyes and recognized the level of this strange stone at a glance. He hurriedly congratulated Lu Xuan, who was next to him, "Congratulations, Young Master, you have actually opened a mid-level Blood Qi Stone, which is worth at least 50 top-grade source stones!"
After saying that, he didn't forget to praise himself, "Young Master, I was right, right? The probability of opening a top-grade strange stone on the first floor is the highest."
Hearing the attendant's words, Xiang Tao's face was already pale. How could it be possible? To open a strange stone on the first floor, it might not even be possible to open ten thousand ores, but Lu Xuan had only chosen 200 ores and had obtained a Blood Qi Stone! It was unbelievable!
A mid-level Blood Qi Stone worth 50 top-grade source stones was far more than the two top-grade source stones he had. Lu Xuan didn't even need to open the remaining dozens of ores before he was already pale. Xiang Tao didn't expect that the ups and downs of life would come so quickly. Just a moment ago, he was proud that he had won 11 top-grade source stones, but in the blink of an eye, he had lost 11 top-grade source stones.
