"Fellow Daoist, are you sure you want this one?" The owner of the stall smiled faintly. These raw stones were all his. He knew which ones were good and which ones were bad, and how they looked like; he knew everything clearly.
The one Chu Kuangren had chosen was undoubtedly the worst one.
The probability of getting something good was very low.
"No, I'll take this one." Chu Kuangren smiled.
Beside him, an old man who was also picking raw stones saw how casual Chu Kuangren was, so he said, "It would be strange if you got anything good with your choices. Young man, stone gambling is not as simple as you think."
"In this line of work, you can't just rely on luck."
The old man had been in the stone gambling industry for hundreds of years and was extremely experienced. He looked down on those who relied on luck the most. To him, a moment of luck did not mean anything at all.
"Heh, thank you for the reminder. I'm just playing around."
Chu Kuangren smiled and did not say anything. Seeing how indifferent he was, the old man snorted, quite dissatisfied.
"Alright, I have someone who specializes in opening stones for you. You only need to pay one Top-tier soulstone. What do you think?" The stall owner said.
"Sure."
"A total of one hundred and one Top-tier soulstones."
After Chu Kuangren paid the soulstones, he asked someone to take his raw stone and open it. The surrounding crowd watched curiously.
Although they did not hold much hope, it would be a waste not to watch a show like this. Some people even had the mentality of watching a joke.
"Do you guys think this will rise?"
"Rise my * ss! Based on my decades of experience in stone gambling, this raw stone is just a piece of trash. It won't rise. "
"That's right, the quality is too poor."
"Even if it can be seen, it'll probably be the lowest quality jade stone. These one hundred Top-tier soulstones are definitely a loss."
No one thought that this raw stone would rise.
In fact, it was very easy for Chu Kuangren to know whether this raw stone could rise or not.
Because he had the Treasure Locating Skill. As long as he activated it, he would naturally know whether this raw stone was a treasure or not.
But he didn't do that. Instead, he chose a raw stone at random, just to test how good his luck was.
A middle-aged man held a saw-like knife and began to cut open the rock. As the cracks on the rock became deeper and deeper, a bright red light shot out from the cracks and into the sky.
The red light vaguely transformed into a divine bird that circled in the sky. A strong Daoist Rhyme filled the air, causing everyone's expression to change.
In particular, the disdainful old man was breathing heavily as he looked at the stone. "This phenomenon, could it be the Stone of Phoenix Blood?!"
The Stone of Phoenix Blood was a quasi-sage grade mineral!
The old man had been in the stone gambling circle for so many years, but he had never seen such a mineral before. He had only heard about it from some of his fellow daoists.
But now, such a top-notch treasure was right in front of him, and it was obtained by a young man who only relied on luck?!
This caused his mentality to be somewhat unbalanced.
As the ore was completely opened, the image of the divine bird in the sky became more and more lifelike. It was the legendary divine bird, the phoenix!
The middle-aged cultivator looked at the blood-red, crystal-clear raw stone in front of him and gulped, "Oh my god, this is the first time in so many years that I've opened a mineral of this grade. My life was worth it."
The divine bird, the phoenix, circled in the void for a while before it slowly dissipated.
However, everyone was still immersed in shock and could not recover from it.
"What the f * ck! The Stone of Phoenix Blood! "
After a long while, one of the cultivators stuttered.
In an instant, the rest of the people began to discuss among themselves.
"That guy used a hundred soulstones to open the Stone of Phoenix Blood! That's not just a profit, it's a crazy profit! "
"Gulp, if this Stone of Phoenix Blood were to be sold, it could fetch at least a few million Top-tier soulstones. That's tens of thousands of times more!"
"What's the Stone of Phoenix Blood?"
"It's a legendary mineral in the stone gambling circle. Whether it's used for cultivation or equipment forging, it's a top-notch treasure. If anyone who plays stone gambling can open a Stone of Phoenix Blood, their life would be worth it …"
Everyone looked at Chu Kuangren enviously, and some of the cultivators who gambled on the stones felt a little remorseful.
A hundred Top-tier soulstones for a Stone of Phoenix Blood …
If they had bought it, they would be the ones getting the Stone of Phoenix Blood now.
"How could this be? That raw stone was undoubtedly of the lowest grade, so how could it contain a Stone of Phoenix Blood?"
"Also, why couldn't I tell?"
The old man stood there and murmured, his face full of regret and unwillingness.
The stall owner was heartbroken too.
He sold a Stone of Phoenix Blood for a hundred Top-tier soulstones just like that. That was not just selling it cheaply, it was giving it away for free!
"Fellow Daoist, have you gambled on stones before?"
The stall owner asked curiously, suspecting that Chu Kuangren was pretending to be weak.
"No, it's my first time."
"Then your luck must be heaven-defying." The stall owner could not help but smile bitterly when he saw that Chu Kuangren did not seem to be lying.
"My luck has always been good." Chu Kuangren smiled.
With the Lucky Halo's help, his luck was not just good.
He was the Emperor of Fortune, no, the God of Fortune.
"This Stone of Phoenix Blood is a Sage grade mineral. If you bring it to the auction house, it's not impossible to sell it for tens of millions of soulstones."
The stall owner said emotionally.
Although he was heartbroken, the outcome was already set in stone. The moment he sold it, it no longer mattered to him what the raw stone was worth.
"That much?" Lan Yu was a little surprised.
A hundred soulstones sold for tens of millions?
That was a hundred-fold increase!
That was too much.
"Heh, Lan Yu, you pick one too."
Chu Kuangren said.
Lan Yu was a little tempted, so she began to pick carefully. She did not have any experience in stone gambling, but those in the industry could tell from her actions.
Then, she picked a raw stone. To the old man and the stall owner, that raw stone was neither too good nor too bad.
After handing over the soulstones, they continued to open the stones.
The crowd gathered around to watch.
"To be able to get a Stone of Phoenix Blood once is already very heaven-defying luck. I'm guessing it won't be anything good this time."
"I think so too."
"Their luck can't be that good, can it?"
Hum!
A burst of golden light shot out from the cracks in the raw stone.
A golden liquid flowed out of the raw stone, containing extremely pure spiritual qi. It was a spiritual marrow!
"What the f * ck!"
"This is a spiritual marrow, an Earth Spiritual Marrow! This raw stone is actually a crystal formed from the Earth Spiritual Marrow. My, my god … "
"An Earth Spirit Crystal, an Honorable grade mineral!"
"First, they got a Sage grade mineral like the Stone of Phoenix Blood, and now they got an Earth Spirit Crystal. These two are too lucky!"
Everyone was shocked.
The stall owner wanted to cry but no tears came out.
What was going on?
They bought a Stone of Phoenix Blood, and now they got an Earth Spirit Crystal …
Were these two messing with him?!
"Fellow Daoist, tell me honestly, is this really your first time stone gambling? Some cultivators might not even get to see these two stones in their lifetime. "The stall owner once again suspected Chu Kuangren.
Chu Kuangren said helplessly, "It's really my first time."
"This is impossible, this is impossible …" The old man beside him clutched his chest and panted. His face was flushed and his veins were bulging.
Chu Kuangren was taken aback.
Was the old man going to have a heart attack?
"How, how did you know?" The old man stared at Chu Kuangren with bloodshot eyes.
The two raw stones that contained rare minerals were placed in front of him, but he could not tell what they were, allowing a young man to buy them for a low price of a hundred soulstones.
He had never seen such a rare mineral in his entire life in the stone gambling circle. How could he accept this?
"I really picked them randomly. What about you, Lan Yu?"
"I thought that one looked better, so I picked it."
