A Good Romance

There was no lack of Celestial Venerables present, so they naturally wouldn't take a piece of Divine Metal seriously. They all looked towards the other stone-cutter, and the raw stone in his hand was continuously becoming smaller.
However, layer after layer of stone skin peeled off, and nothing else appeared inside.
Waste stone.
In the end, the raw stone was only the size of a pellet. The stone-cutter finally cut through the middle, and there was still white stone inside, proving that this was just a piece of waste stone.
"Hehe." Niu Buqun laughed, his expression very arrogant, but he didn't speak.
Needless to say, the truth was better than indiscernibility.
Ling Han naturally would not mind. This was equivalent to two people playing cards, but in a situation where he could find out the opponent's trump card, he could then put together another set of cards. How could he not win?
Unless the other's luck was nature-defying, and he picked the best of all 10 raw stones, so that Ling Han couldn't possibly win even if he cheated.
Obviously, Niu Buqun didn't have such ability.
"Continue."
The two stone-cutters both took the second raw stone, and continued to open it. They were too experienced. The first person had clearly opened it long ago, but they didn't immediately open the second one.
Why?
Of course, it was to maintain suspense and whet people's appetite.
"Is there anyone who wants to bet?" someone suddenly asked. "I'll be the banker. Those who bet on Niu Buqun to win, 10 to 12, those who bet on Ling Han to win, 10 to 15, and those who bet on a draw, 10 to 15."
"I'll buy."
"I'll buy too."
“”
This instantly caused many people to agree. Even if Niu Buqun's payout was only 1.2, basically everyone bet on him to win.
It couldn't be helped. He was famous, and hadn't he already opened a piece of Divine Metal?
He would definitely win.
The Empress walked towards her daughter, while Ling Xi gave her a helpless expression.
The banker was none other than Fu Tianxing.
Otherwise, who would be the banker when they knew they would lose money?
Though Fu Tianxing didn't know this master's skill in stone gambling, he was clear about Ling Han's personality and personality. If he wasn't confident, how could he dare to bet so much with him?
Since even his master was full of confidence, what did he have to worry about?
Starting a bet, he'd make a profit.
The second ore was also quickly cut open. Both of them were useless stones, and nothing came out of it.
This was very normal. Even a master of raw gemstones was not so awesome that he could deliver the goods as he pleased.
The third one was still useless, and the fourth one was still useless.
It was the fifth piece.
"Oh, there's another one!" someone shouted as soon as the stone-cutter made a cut.
"This, this, this, this is a great medicine!" Someone's voice was trembling.
"Be careful, be careful!" The others hurriedly reminded him. They weren't just there to watch the battle. If they saw something good, they would even buy it on the spot. If the owner wanted to sell it, they would be able to buy it immediately.
There was no need for others to remind him. The stone-cutting worker was already extremely careful. This great medicine was too delicate and could be easily damaged.
"As expected of Grandmaster Niu."
"Another shipment."
"Furthermore, it's a great medicine. I've made a killing this time."
Everyone sighed with emotion. The title of a Master of Raw Gemstones was not just for show.
Niu Buqun had a smile on his face. He had the air of an immortal, extremely arrogant. However, his heart was also palpitating. Because with his attainments, he could barely judge whether there was a good in the ore or not, and he had no idea whether the value of the good was high or low.
Even so, his accuracy was not very high. Generally, there was only a 10% chance of hitting the target. This time, he managed to get two out of five. He was really lucky.
Naturally, he would not expose it. He had a proud look on his face, as if everything was under his control.
On the other side, Ling Han's ore was still useless. It quickly turned into slag.
Leng Xiuran was even more proud. He said to Ling Han, "You can admit defeat now, but the number of kowtows will increase to five."
Ling Han glanced at him. "If you want to die, you can say it directly. I'll fulfill your wish."
Leng Xiuran wanted to refute, but when he thought of Ling Han's terrifying strength, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
What was there to argue about? When Ling Han knelt down and kowtowed, everything would be back, wouldn't it?
At that time, what else could he say?
Very soon, the great medicine was cut out.
"It seems to be not mature enough. Judging from the great medicines that were cut out earlier, this is a great medicine that can increase cultivation. However, it's blue in color, and its age is very low."
"Even so, this is still a supreme treasure."
"This piece of Immortal Metal is really worth it."
Everyone sighed with emotion. Some people even directly called out a price, hoping that Niu Buqun could sell this great medicine to them.
Before Niu Buqun could speak, Leng Xiuran said, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Grandmaster Niu was invited by me, and he is also here to help me pick out the ore. I have no intention of selling it."
This time, everyone stopped bidding. He spent a huge amount of money to invite the Grandmaster Niu over, so the item that was cut out naturally belonged to him.
"Continue," Ling Han said indifferently.
The sixth piece, two useless rocks. The seventh piece, two useless rocks. The eighth piece, two useless rocks. The ninth piece, still two useless rocks.
Only the last piece was left.
This time, even Fu Tianxing became nervous. Would his master go too far this time and dig his own grave?
Everyone shook their heads. There was only one ore left. What did Ling Han have to cut out in order to turn the tables?
"Unless it's a great medicine of a higher grade."
"Prehistoric beasts can do it too. Becoming a Celestial Venerable in tens of thousands of years is really terrifying."
"Why don't you say it's a Celestial Venerable symbol? Wouldn't that be even more awesome?"
"Hehe, it's just a fantasy anyway. It doesn't matter if it's just a casual remark."
No one believed that Ling Han could turn the tables. This was a low-end zone, and the chances of getting treasures were already very small, let alone peerless treasures.
"It's out again!" In just a few slashes, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Of course, it was Niu Buqun's ore again. There was a hint of scarlet in the grayish-white stone material, and it was like a flame that was moving.
"Immortal Metal." Everyone nodded.
Immortal Metal was not much, but it undoubtedly increased Niu Buqun's halo by a lot.
"Sigh, just admit defeat," someone said to Ling Han.
There was definitely no hope for him now.
Ling Han was naturally unmoved. He said to the stone-cutting worker who had stopped, "What are you standing there for, continue."
That stone-cutting worker scoffed in his heart. Did you really expect this ore to have a rare treasure and turn the tables in one fell swoop?
Too naive.
He naturally did not have the qualifications to criticize Ling Han. He could only continue to cut open the stone.
"Ling Han, if you admit defeat now, you only need to kowtow nine times." Leng Xiuran laughed loudly. The outcome was already decided.
"Grandmaster Niu, you're really too extraordinary!" Someone expressed goodwill to Niu Buqun. "In a few days, will you also help me choose the stones?"
Niu Buqun stroked his beard and revealed a proud expression. "Allow me to rest for a few days first. Choosing the ore is after all very tiring. I've been busy for the whole day and need a good rest."
He was putting on airs.
How could the crowd not understand? But who asked him to be so awesome? They could only continue to flatter him.
"Eh?" The stone-cutting worker exclaimed softly.
"What's wrong? Could it be that there's something out?" Someone laughed.
That stone-cutting worker had a strange expression on his face. "There's really something out."
"What?"
