"I can't be bothered with you." Wang Shu turned his head to the side and ignored that person.
"Quite a temper." The person from the Qingxia Sect laughed. "True. Generations of hard work to accumulate so many Source. What if you lose it? It's better to be careful."
"Stop being so sarcastic. We don't want to argue with you." Dumbo was more honest and glared at him.
"Bumpkin, stone gambling is very risky. You came here to try your luck. You won't even know how to cry when the time comes." The follower from the Qingxia Sect mocked. "I'm not trying to scold you, but this is really not a place for you. Source gatherers should know their place."
"Get lost. I have Source. I came here willingly. It's none of your business." Dumbo was very direct.
Wang Shu also laughed. "You should take care of yourself. Don't lose all your fortune. Nine out of ten gambles fail and crawl out crying."
"People like you … haven't seen the world." The follower was a little angry and said, "The mine is where you should stay. Don't be stubborn. When you go in later, you will cry."
Young Master Liu from the Qingxia Sect frowned and said to the follower, "Why bother with people like them." As he spoke, he walked forward, and the people around him followed.
Rong Xiang stone gambling house had many courtyards. Source stones were everywhere, ranging from tens of thousands of kilograms to a few taels.
The first courtyard was obviously of the lowest quality. Not many people stayed here. Here, it was the most common source stones. It could even be said that many stones were randomly pulled back to make up the numbers.
Ye Fan was not in a hurry to leave. After he finished reading the basic chapter of the Book of Origin, he wanted to practice it. It was not about whether he could gamble on a pure Source, but to enrich his experience.
He strolled around the First Courtyard, patting and knocking on the ground with a serious look on his face.
"Brother Ye, there are no good source stones here. They are all deceiving people. Let's go inside." Wang Shu suggested.
"It's okay. Today is mainly to test the waters. Let's take a look first. Don't rush." Ye Fan did not move.
A sneer came from not far away. The gatehouse was adjacent to this courtyard. The gatekeeper who had stopped them from entering before was watching the show with his arms crossed.
"What are you laughing at? Go, get some tea." Dumbo glared at him.
"You're even pouring tea? How arrogant!" One of the people in the gatehouse replied snappily.
"Anyone who enters the door is a guest. Don't you know the rules?" Wang Shu turned around and said, "Is this how you treat your guests? I told you to pour tea, so hurry up and pour it. Don't talk nonsense. "
One of them instantly glared at him and said, "You little bastard! You're just a gatherer, yet you're putting on airs in front of us!"
"Go and find your Master Yuan. I want to ask him if he wants to do business behind closed doors. Even a gatekeeper dares to spout nonsense. "Wang Shu sneered.
"Alright, hurry up and pour them a few cups of tea and send them away." The few of them did not want to make the matter bigger. If they alarmed some distinguished guests, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
"There's not enough tea leaves. Is this cutting corners?" Dumbo muttered unhappily.
The gatekeepers' faces turned ashen. They glared at him fiercely.
Ye Fan walked around the courtyard and found that there were thousands of Origin Stones here. They were really just there to make up the numbers. He felt that only a few of them contained Origin Stones.
"How do you value the Origin Stones here?"
Almost no one gambled here, so Master Yuan stayed in the courtyard. Normally, the gatekeepers were in charge of this place. One of them mocked, "The Origin Stones here are the cheapest. One Origin Stone can buy a thousand kilograms of Origin Stone. With the Origin Stones in your hands, you can buy a lot."
"Is that so? Then you guys, come over here and carry that Dawn Stone over for me." Ye Fan pointed at the huge boulder that weighed at least 500 kilograms in the middle of the pile of rubble.
The faces of the people from Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House turned green. They were mortals. Moving a thousand kilogram boulder would take a lot of effort.
"I say, you're wasting your money. Such a large boulder requires one or two precious Origin Stones. You won't be able to gamble anything." One of them cursed.
"Stop talking nonsense. Just move it. Don't you want to do business anymore? Should I go call Master Yuan?" Wang Shu said.
"You two can also choose any place you want. Don't worry about anything." Ye Fan said to Dumbo and Wang Shu.
"We...... forget about it. Digging Origin Stones is fine, but choosing Origin Stones is far from it." The two waved their hands.
"Just choose. No need to say anything."
Wang Shu was quick-witted. He whispered a few words to Dumbo. The two of them began to instruct the people from Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House.
"Bring that Origin Stone out." Wang Shu pointed in front of them.
The people's faces were pale. Another thousand kilogram boulder. They were already breathless from exhaustion.
"Fine. You guys are ruthless. Let's see how you cry when your Origin Stones are used up!" They gritted their teeth and moved the thousand kilogram boulder.
However, after taking a few steps, Wang Shu shook his head and said, "What are you guys doing? I want the Origin Stone under the thousand kilogram boulder. "
"F * ck … …" The few of them were about to explode from anger.
Wang Shu held a four to five kilogram Origin Stone in his hand. He was smiling behind them.
"I want this one." Dumbo pointed at a Origin Stone that was also under a huge boulder.
The anger of the people from Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House was ignited. One of them said, "You're going too far!"
"It's not that we're going too far. It's just that you guys are acting like snobs." Wang Shu shook his head and said, "If you guys don't move it, I'll call Master Yuan."
"You … …" The few of them pointed at Wang Shu.
"You what you? I have Origin Stones. I'm eyeing that boulder now. Hurry up and move it." Dumbo had always been straightforward. He had long disliked these people.
Ye Fan smiled without saying a word. He felt that these two guys were quite good at dealing with people.
When the people from Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House moved the boulder and were exhausted like dead dogs, Wang Shu and Dumbo chose another target.
"That one. Yes, the one that's under the boulder."
"And this one. Hurry up and get it out."
The two of them drank tea as they ordered the others.
"Masters, we were wrong. We shouldn't have looked down on you. Please forgive us."
"You're a magnanimous person. Don't lower yourself to our level. Please have mercy."
These people were tortured by Wang Shu and Dumbo until they fell to the ground. They completely gave in.
In the end, Ye Fan took action himself. He cut open the thousand-pound boulder that he had his eyes on and dug out a one-kilogram piece of Origin Source.
On the side, the eyes of the people who were lying on the ground almost popped out as they watched them enter the second courtyard.
This time, Ye Fan and the others did not delay much. They just turned around and walked inside.
In the inner courtyard, there were special young women in charge of receiving and introducing various Origin Stones. There was also a Master Origin Stone in charge of cutting the stones.
Soon after, they came to the seventh courtyard and met the people from Qingxia Sect again.
"Hey, aren't these three Source Gatherers? Why did you come to this courtyard to play?" The annoying voice of the follower from Qingxia Sect was heard.
"I say, donkey-faced man, why are you always haunting us?" Dumbo rolled his eyes and looked at him.
"What are you talking about? I'm too lazy to argue with a bumpkin like you. "He pulled a long face and said," How about we compete in stone gambling? "
"What's your name? How do we gamble with you?" Dumbo asked.
The long-faced man from Qingxia Sect said, "My name is Liu Sheng. Let's gamble. How much Source one side cuts out, the other side will lose the same amount of Source. How about that? "
Both Wang Shu and Dumbo were a little hesitant and did not respond.
The long-faced man, Liu Sheng, mocked, "Mud monkeys in the mine, you don't even dare to gamble. Why did you come in? Many people here bet three, five, or ten times. I advise you to go back to the mine as soon as possible. That's where you should stay. "
Wang Shu and Dumbo were furious. As Source Gatherers, hearing such words really felt like a thorn in their hearts.
"Bet with him and ask him how many Source Stones he has." Ye Fan said from the side.
"Oh, you really dare to gamble?" Liu Sheng showed a sarcastic look on his face and said, "I'm afraid that you will cry for your parents if you lose, and then jump into the well to commit suicide."
Ye Fan directly threw two catties of Source Stones to Wang Shu, then looked at Liu Sheng and said, "Take out your Source Stones first."
The words of these people immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Many people looked over. Even Young Master Liu of Qingxia Sect put down the Source Stones in his hand, walked over, and threw two catties of Source Stones to the long-faced man, Liu Sheng.
"If you admit to a bet, you must admit to a loss. Everyone here must testify. These three bumpkins don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. If they really dare to gamble with me, don't blame me for bullying them." Although Liu Sheng said so, his heart was not very calm.
"Okay, we will testify!" Many people next to him echoed.
The people of Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House were the happiest. No matter what, both sides would buy their Source Stones. This was a profitable business.
Young Master Liu patted a Source Stone that had already been chosen and said to the long-faced man, Liu Sheng, "Choose this one."
Liu Sheng received it respectfully, and then he looked at Ye Fan and said, "You three mud monkeys from the mines, hurry up and choose one as well."
Ye Fan walked around, chose a Source Stone the size of a watermelon, threw it in front of him, and said, "This one."
The Source Stones chosen by the two were not big, but the cost was not cheap. The Source Stones in the seventh courtyard were all very expensive because the rate of Source Stones being produced was very high.
"Master Yuan, please cut the stone." The long-faced man, Liu Sheng, said.
"Okay, this old man is going to sacrifice the blade." An old man came forward and paid his respects to the Source Stone first. Then, he picked up the blade and began to cut the stone.
"Kacha!"
The stone skin was slowly peeled off. The stone chosen by the Qingxia Sect became smaller and smaller, but in the end, no Source Stone appeared.
"Count yourselves lucky. The next one will make you cry for your parents." Liu Sheng was somewhat unwilling. The young master of the Qingxia Sect also frowned.
"Master, cut my piece." Ye Fan handed over the Source Stone.
"This broken stone is obviously a waste stone. Is there a need to cut it?" Liu Sheng looked disdainful.
Someone next to him shook his head and said, "This stone is reddish-brown with a hint of white. It is obviously a common 'red inside white'. It is definitely a waste stone. There is no need to cut it to know."
"It is too obvious. It is indeed a waste stone." Almost everyone frowned.
Even Master Yuan shook his head and said, "It is fine if this stone is not cut."
Wang Shu and Dumbo suddenly became nervous. They looked at Ye Fan and said, "Anyway, it has not been cut yet. Let's change to another one."
"No, otherwise, some people will go back on their words. This is it." Ye Fan did not pay his respects to the so-called "Origin God". He picked up the blade next to him and directly cut it.
"Kacha!"
The moment the Source Stone was cut open, a soft light shone out. A fist-sized Source Stone, crystal clear, was embedded in the stone layer.
The blade almost split the Source Stone inside and brushed past it.
"Ah, it actually produced Source Stone. How can there be Source Stone inside white?"
"This piece is probably one kilogram. It is a big increase."
…
The people next to him all cried out in surprise.
Even Master Yuan was a little stunned. He said to himself, "That stone can't possibly have Source Stone. It actually …"
Wang Shu was delighted. He dug out the Source Stone inside and carefully held it in his palm. On the other hand, Dumbo casually walked up to Liu Sheng and glanced at the Source Bag in his hand. "Hand it over. We've cut out the Source Bag, and it's exactly one catty. The one in your hand is barely enough."
Liu Sheng's face suddenly became very long. Sweat immediately appeared on his forehead. One kilogram of Source Stone was a very large number for him. Although it was paid by the young master of the Qingxia Sect, he definitely had to pay it back.
"This … how is this possible? Even a piece of waste stone produced Source Stone!" His face was ashen and extremely unwilling.
"You lost the bet. Hand it over." Dumbo snatched the Source Bag.
The horse-faced man seemed to be drained of strength. He sat on the ground, dejected.
"Brother Donkey Face, don't jump into the well." Wang Shu ridiculed. "Our mine is currently short of manpower. Why don't you come with me? I am sincerely recruiting here."
Dumbo hugged the Source Bag and giggled happily. He did not forget to strike back. "Yes, we will take care of your food and accommodation. Come with us to dig for Source Stone."
The horse-faced man's face turned pale. He angrily pointed at the two and said, "You … you …"
His intestines were green with regret. He secretly hated himself for looking for trouble. Why did he gamble with a few mud monkeys from the mine? At this moment, he really wanted to smash his teeth into his stomach. He was so angry that he almost fainted.
"Interesting. Do the three of you dare to gamble with me?" The young master of the Qingxia Sect stepped forward and waved his folding fan. He looked calm and composed.
Ye Fan smiled and said, "Why not? Not to mention a few, even a few dozen is fine."
He was very excited. The Heavenly Book of Source was indeed a wonderful book. He felt that he had a preliminary understanding of Source Stone and could enter and exit the stone gambling house. If he really understood the Heavenly Book of Source Stone, he would not have to worry about going to the Holy City in the future.
However, Ye Fan's luck seemed to have ended. He cut seven stones in a row but did not see even a trace of Source Stone.
On the contrary, the young master of the Qingxia Sect cut out a fist-sized Source Stone and compensated for the loss just now.
"Even if you are in the mine all year round, you may not really understand Source Stone. Digging Source Stone is rough work, but identifying Source Stone is a skill." The young master of the Qingxia Sect mocked. "Indeed, not everyone can come here."
"The mud monkeys in the mine also came to gamble. They really don't know their place."
"They want to gamble for a top-grade Source Stone. In the end, they will only go bankrupt. The pitiful Source Stone that they have saved for many years will be wasted."
…
Beside them, many people shook their heads and made sarcastic remarks.
Wang Shu and Dumbo felt very uncomfortable. They were very nervous after losing consecutively. They were afraid that Ye Fan's Source Stone would be wasted in vain.
Ye Fan frowned. He was a little confused. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what he learned from the Heavenly Book of Source Stone. Why did he make mistakes again and again?
He squatted down and carefully observed the seven pieces of Source Stone that he had just cut and rubbed them with his hand.
"He's lost his mind from gambling. He can't stand the blow."
"The mud monkeys from the mine have never seen the big world. After losing so much, it's natural that he lost his soul. Maybe he wants to jump into the river."
"I've seen many people like this. After losing in gambling, they can do anything."
…
Although some people sympathized, more people were gloating.
The young master of the Qingxia Sect waved his folding fan and looked down at Ye Fan, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the gravel. He said, "Hurry back to the mine. That's where you should stay. It's not suitable for people like you to come here."
