In the living room, the corner of Wen Longyuan's lips curled up. His provocation was obvious.
This made Ling Xian frown. He was a little displeased.
The first time, he could tolerate it. But the second time, he was crossing the line.
"Friend, this is not appropriate." Mei Yan Rou frowned, seeing through Wen Longyuan's intention.
"What's inappropriate?" Wen Longyuan grinned, "I am not bullying you. I am not threatening or forcing you. This is simply a fair bet."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Ling Xian, "Don't you agree?"
"That's right." Ling Xian smiled. His smile was cold.
"Since it is a fair bet, I wonder if you dare to accept?" Wen Longyuan's eyes were full of provocation. Hearing this, Ling Xian squinted his eyes and coldness shot out.
Wen Longyuan was already at his door. If he doesn't accept, then he really will be a pushover.
Just as he was about to say yes, Liao Cang Qiong's laughter rose.
"The seventh immortal has woken up. Come over."
Hearing this, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up, revealing a happy smile.
All the immortals inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals were extraordinary. Every single one of them was famous and had unique skills.
Therefore, Ling Xian had high hopes of meeting up with the seventh immortal. But not now.
Wen Longyuan had declared war. If he avoids it, wouldn't that be too cowardly?
Then, he recounted everything that had happened and asked the seventh immortal to wait for a moment.
"Betting on stones? Interesting. "
Liao Cang Qiong smiled, "Bet with him that the seventh immortal is an expert in this."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was a little startled. Then, he smiled.
Even though the word "expert" doesn't sound very impressive, it depends on who said it. The immortal's "expert" is definitely not an expert, it's the peak!
Therefore, Ling Xian smiled. The way he looked at Wen Longyuan was full of mockery.
He was originally a little worried. After all, he has never touched a stone before. But now, he was confident and victory was within his grasp.
"Why aren't you speaking? Are you scared?" Wen Longyuan teased.
"I am just thinking about what the winner will get." Ling Xian glared at Wen Longyuan.
"Of course it's his wondrous stone."
Wen Longyuan smiled faintly and said, "This is the rule of stone gambling. Even if you get a shocking divine item, as long as you lose, you have to hand it over."
"I understand now. Whoever offers the lowest value loses. Am I right?" Ling Xian said softly. "That's right. Do you dare to bet?" Wen Longyuan's eyes revealed a playful look.
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Ling Xian glared at him.
"Fellow Daoist, you mustn't. The Wen family is a wondrous stone family that specializes in this field." Soft Mei secretly transmitted her voice, saying: "If you gamble with him, I'm afraid you will suffer a loss."
"It doesn't matter. He's good at this. I might not be inferior to him."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. He didn't know much about stones, but behind him stood an immortal. He didn't think that a Supreme Perfected Immortal would lose to Wen Longyuan.
He nodded and said, "I'll take the bet."
"Haha, good, come and choose the stone. I'll let you choose first."
Wen Longyuan laughed and said, "Lest others say that I bully you."
"You don't have the right." Ling Xian said softly and marched towards the area where the stones were placed.
That place looked like a small market. More than 10 stall owners were sitting on the ground calmly. Before them, there were stones of all shapes and sizes.
Some of them were bright and colorful. Some of them were dark and full of holes.
Based on appearance alone, the stones that looked beautiful would have a higher chance of getting something good. But the key to a stone was the word "strange".
Without cutting it open, nobody can be sure what's inside. Even the most knowledgeable person can only tell if there's something good inside.
"Gambling with Master Wen? This fella is doomed. "
"The Wen Clan is a stone family that has been around for tens of thousands of years. Master Wen is also the most talented descendant of his generation. Gambling with him is seeking death."
"Haha, this is going to be a good show. However, this show is destined to have no suspense."
Everyone chimed in. It was obvious that Wen Longyuan had high hopes for him.
"You are all flattering me." Wen Longyuan appeared proud and said meaningfully, "Friend Ling Xian is no ordinary person."
Hearing this, Ling Xian squinted his eyes and they flickered with coldness.
Others may not understand the meaning behind this statement, but Ling Xian knew very well that Wen Longyuan was obviously flattering him and elevating himself.
Just imagine, in a situation where everyone thought that he had some ability, he chose a useless rock. How embarrassing would that be?
If he lost to Wen Longyuan, then wouldn't that make him seem even more powerful?
Therefore, Ling Xian's impression of Wen Longyuan was getting worse and worse. He made up his mind to teach this person a lesson.
Thus, he secretly sent a message to Liao Cang Qiong, "Master, please teach me a technique from the seventh immortal."
"Okay, wait a moment." Liao Cang Qiong responded. After a few seconds, a strange technique appeared in Ling Xian's brain.
This technique was called the Golden Testing Hand. It was specifically used on strange stones. With a gentle touch, one would know if the stone contained something good.
"Originally, he wanted to teach you another technique that would allow you to look inside the stone. However, this technique is very difficult to learn and is not suitable for you right now."
"Therefore, he taught you the Golden Testing Hand."
"Even though this technique is not as good as the other one, it is still a first class technique. It should be enough for you to find something good. Most importantly, this technique is not hard to learn. It is perfect for you right now. "
Liao Cang Qiong's laughter rose, making Ling Xian smile as well.
The first class technique the immortal spoke of was definitely an impressive technique. Therefore, he was very confident.
"Master, thank the seventh immortal for me."
Ling Xian communicated through telepathy. As he pretended to pick out the stones, he studied the Golden Testing Hand.
After some time, he learned this technique. Even though it was only a small success, it was enough for him to pick out the stones.
Therefore, Ling Xian became serious. First, he used his Qi, then, he used the Eyes of Execution.
In the end, none of them worked.
The strange stones were very strange. Even those of the ninth level cannot use their Qi to look inside.
This made Ling Xian give up on the idea of using his Qi. He called out to the seventh immortal's technique, the Golden Testing Hand.
However, to everyone else, it was very laughable.
This was because he only touched every stone and then moved on to the next one.
To know that picking out a strange stone was not that easy. Even if it was a technique, one could not just touch it.
Therefore, everyone thought he was trying to be mysterious and they all laughed out loud.
Wen Longyuan didn't even try to hide his sarcasm.
He was born into a family with strange stones. Although he doesn't know all the techniques, he has at least heard of most of them. Based on his memory, there was no technique that required one to touch the stone.
Therefore, his eyes were full of disdain and he was getting more and more arrogant. It was as if he could already see the moment of his victory.
"Can you or not? You are trying to be mysterious! "
"Haha, if you can't, then admit defeat. Don't waste time."
"Exactly. No matter how well you pretend, it's useless. If you can't, you can't."
Everyone laughed out loud, revealing their sarcasm.
Ling Xian acted like he didn't hear anything.
He focused on the strange stones in front of him. After a while, he picked up a dark and swarthy stone.
Instantly, his right hand began to shine. A light that only he could see.
