Just when Lu Xuan was thinking of an excuse to evade, Yang Weili said straightforwardly, "Junior Brother Lu, why don't we open them first? Let's open my 30 ores first."
Lu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. Yang Weili's unintentional words had cut off his path of retreat. He had just glanced at the ores that Yang Weili had selected. There was not even a single top-grade primordial stone. After all, all the valuable ores had been swept clean by Lu Xuan. Lu Xuan sighed in his heart. Lu Xuan could only let Yang Weili take out the ores that he had selected first.
In view of the fact that Yang Weili had previously opened a wondrous stone on the first floor, everyone had a lot of expectations for the ores that Yang Weili had selected this time. Even Xiang Tao was paying close attention. In his opinion, although this was a bet between Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi, it was also a contest between him and Yang Weili. After all, both Lu Xuan and Ruo Xiangyi did not know about stone gambling. As long as Yang Weili's ores did not contain any good ores, he would basically win.
One by one, the ores' outer shells were broken. Every time a piece was opened, Xiang Tao's expression became a little more relaxed. On the other hand, Yang Weili's expression became a little more serious because so far, not a single top-grade primordial stone had appeared. At most, there were only high-grade primordial stones.
This kind of situation was actually very common in Fantastic Stone Shop. After all, nine out of ten bets were lost. However, because Yang Weili's expectations of himself were too high, he was extremely worried now.
Not long after, all 30 ores had been opened. A total of 15 high-grade primordial stones were opened. The value of the rest of the ores was negligible. Compared to the total value of the 30 ores, they had lost about half of their total value.
Seeing this result, Yang Weili looked at Lu Xuan apologetically and said, "Junior Brother Lu, I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you pick a wondrous stone this time."
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "Senior Brother Yang, you've tried your best. If the Wondrous Stones were so easy to choose, I'm afraid Wondrous Stone House would have closed long ago."
Although Lu Xuan did not blame him, Yang Weili still felt slightly embarrassed. After all, in his opinion, Lu Xuan should have been confident in him to accept the bet. Now, he could only hope that Xiang Tao picked something worse than his.
"Tsk tsk, Lu Xuan, you're definitely going to lose this time. Yang Weili, whom you had high hopes for, didn't continue to perform miracles." Xiang Tao said with a smile. He was in a good mood. He then turned to Ruo Xiangyi and said, "Miss Ruo, it seems that I can congratulate you in advance."
Ruo Xiangyi still had a smile on her face as she said, "That may not be the case. Junior Brother Lu still has seventy raw stones in his hand. I believe in Junior Brother Lu's random stone gambling ability."
Xiang Tao faintly smiled and curled his lips. What random stone gambling? It was just a nice way to put it. To put it bluntly, it was just a random stone gambling.
If it wasn't necessary, Lu Xuan really didn't want to expose his ability to pick raw stones. Unfortunately, he had already picked all the valuable raw stones before Yang Weili. Even if Yang Weili's stone gambling ability was strong, he wouldn't be able to pick a top quality source stone. Of course, the same was true for Xiang Tao.
After thinking about it, Lu Xuan took out a raw stone in a mysterious manner and said, "Do you believe that there is a top quality source stone inside? My stone gambling ability is not a joke. "
Xiang Tao said, "Since you're so confident, then open it and take a look."
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Lu Xuan smiled and handed the raw stone in his hand to the martial artist who was opening it. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the martial artist meticulously broke open the outer shell of the raw stone, and a wave of pure energy instantly emanated from it!
The people present were all elite disciples of various sects, so they were no strangers to the supreme-grade Primal Stones. They were all shocked when they sensed the aura, and they looked at each other. Could it be that Lu Xuan was right?
Even Yang Weili, Zhao Binger, and the others were surprised. A raw stone that he casually picked could also contain a top quality source stone. Could it be that Lu Xuan's luck was too good? Du Xiaomao remembered that Lu Xuan had previously told her that his method of stone gambling relied on his luck. Now it seemed that … it wasn't necessarily untrustworthy.
At this time, the martial artist had completely peeled off the top quality source stone. He presented it to Lu Xuan with both hands and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Young Master, for obtaining a top quality source stone."
Lu Xuan laughed and said to the martial artist, "It seems that your luck is good, opening a top quality source stone in one go."
Hearing Lu Xuan say this, the martial artist also felt honored. He was only a 5th Body Refinement Realm martial artist. Being praised by a Spirit Refinement Realm powerhouse like Lu Xuan made him very happy.
"It really is a top quality source stone?" Xiang Tao felt that it was a bit funny. This kid Lu Xuan's luck was simply too good. Before, Yang Weili had helped him open a strange stone. Now that Yang Weili had failed, he had opened a top quality source stone.
"I said, I'm very optimistic about Junior Brother Lu's stone gambling ability." Ruo Xiangyi didn't show any disappointment because of Lu Xuan's top quality source stone. She still had a sweet smile on her face as she said, "Junior Brother Lu might as well open the rest of the stones. Maybe you'll be able to open a strange stone."
Lu Xuan shook his head and said, "I can't open them. My remaining stones are all top quality source stones and strange stones. If I open all of them, I'm afraid that the people from Fantastic Stone Shop will cause trouble for me. Miss Ruo should open them first. If you can also open a top quality source stone, then I'll continue to open the rest of the stones."
Hearing Lu Xuan's words, the smile on Ruo Xiangyi's face slightly stagnated. She looked deeply at Lu Xuan before returning to normal and said, "Junior Brother Lu really likes to joke. If you really open 70 top quality source stones and strange stones, then Fantastic Stone Shop will really go bankrupt."
Xiang Tao disdainfully said, "Miss Ruo doesn't need to listen to his boasting. He was just lucky to open a top quality source stone. We don't need to be afraid of him. I believe that I can open at least two top quality source stones."
"Then I'll be counting on Senior Brother Xiang." Ruo Xiangyi politely said and didn't force Lu Xuan to open the rest of the stones.
Lu Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth? It seems that sometimes, the truth is more like a lie than a lie … However, he was very satisfied. This was the reason why he told the truth.
Xiang Tao's confident expression gradually turned ugly as the raw stones were cut open one by one. This was because there was not a single top-grade Primordial Stone until all 100 raw stones were cut open. Instead, there were more than 40 high-grade Primordial Stones. It could be seen that Xiang Tao's skill in stone gambling was indeed stronger than Yang Weili's. In addition, in order to show off in front of the beauty, he used all his skills this time.
"It seems that I don't need to open the rest of the stones." Lu Xuan shrugged and said with a smile.
"Junior Brother Lu's skill is indeed better. Ruo Xiangyi is convinced of her loss. Junior Brother Lu can take all of these high quality source stones." Ruo Xiangyi said without feeling any pain. In any case, these stones were bought by Xiang Tao to please her. She didn't lose anything.
However, Xiang Tao couldn't accept this result. He couldn't help but roar at the attendant on the side. "How is this possible? I clearly picked the ones that have the highest chance of producing wondrous stones. How can there not be a single top quality source stone? Did you store away all the precious ores in advance? There are no top quality source stones or wondrous stones among these stones! "
After being roared at by Xiang Tao, the attendant immediately became unhappy and said in a firm tone. "You are damaging the reputation of our Wondrous Stone Shop. Please pay attention to your words! Otherwise, I will report to the management of Wondrous Stone Shop. Moreover, it is clearly your stone gambling skills that are not good. If we did something, then where did the top quality source stones in this young master's hand come from? "
Xiang Tao was also blinded by anger. He forgot that Lu Xuan had already picked a top quality source stone. Moreover, Wondrous Stone Shop was not something he could afford to offend.
Lu Xuan walked over and patted Xiang Tao's shoulder in a very mature manner. "Young man, you should practice for a few more years before coming here. Oh, I almost forgot. You still have to accompany me to the third floor to continue picking raw stones."
Xiang Tao looked at Lu Xuan with eyes that were almost spitting fire. First, he lost a lot of top quality source stones. Now, he lost a lot of face. Although it was only the first day he met Lu Xuan, it didn't prevent Xiang Tao from viewing Lu Xuan as his biggest enemy.
Immediately, he took out ten top quality source stones from his storage ring and said. "Humph, go by yourself. I won't accompany you. I hope you lose all of them!"
"Miss Ruo, I'm not feeling well today. I'll take my leave in advance." Xiang Tao cupped his fists towards Ruo Xiangyi. He turned around and left without looking back. He had no face to stay any longer. Several of his core disciples followed closely behind him.
"Senior Brother Xiang, take care. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the ancient cave mansion." Ruo Xiangyi said with a light smile.
Xiang Tao, who was walking halfway, finally felt a little better when he heard this. It seemed that at least he had obtained Ruo Xiangyi's friendship. It wasn't too bad.
Lu Xuan and the others came to a sudden realization. It turned out that Ruo Xiangyi was here to rope in Xiang Tao. Xiang Tao was at the peak of the Spirit Refinement Realm, and he was in the top echelon of the cave abode of the ancient mighty. He was indeed worth roping in.
Ruo Xiangyi originally wanted to recruit Lu Xuan and the others as well. Unfortunately, she found that Lu Xuan was not bewitched by her at all. Moreover, Zhao Binger was by his side. She couldn't do anything, so she gave up.
"Xiangyi will also take her leave. I hope Junior Brother Lu can continue to gamble on good ores. If we meet in the ancient cave mansion, Junior Brother Lu, don't forget to rely on me." Ruo Xiangyi said with a smile.
Lu Xuan didn't answer. He just smiled and cupped his hands. "Forgive me for not seeing you off."
With the departure of Xiang Tao and Ruo Xiangyi, the atmosphere suddenly became a lot more deserted. Yang Weili said, "I heard that the Peony Palace Master is the best at dealing with all kinds of relationships. It seems that Ruo Xiangyi has received the true teachings. It seems that no matter enemy or friend, no one can be angry with her."
Du Xiaomao snorted. "That's because you men all covet Ruo Xiangyi's beauty. If she was a big man with a round waist and thick arms, she wouldn't be able to do this."
Yang Weili couldn't help but laugh. "That's not bad. However, you really can't ignore the advantages of women in some aspects. Ruo Xiangyi has used this to the extreme."
Du Xiaomao looked at Lu Xuan and smiled. "Lu Xuan did a good job. He didn't even look at Ruo Xiangyi. Senior Sister Bing 'er, in the future, I will have to ask you for advice on how to train men. There will be an opportunity to use it."
Zhao Binger was slightly embarrassed. How could she know how to train men? Overall, Lu Xuan did a good job. Although he was a bit fickle, he still had a sense of propriety. He wasn't the kind of person who would lose his mind after seeing a beautiful woman.
